This New Weekly Journal will be regularly publish- ed, Price Seven Pence, every Saturday Morning, and sent, free of Postage, so that it may be received in the Course of the same Day at the Distance of more than a Hundred Miles from Carnarvon. The principal Subjects which it will embrace are— A Record of the most important Events in Foreign Countries. An Epitome of all Domestic Occurrences. An Outline of the Parliamentary Debates, and a Digest of Parliamentary Papers. Proceedings of Public, Religious, & Literary Societies. Church atid University Intelligence. A Report of remarkable and curious Trials. The Progress ofthe Arts, and Scientific Improvements and Inventions. Polite Literature, Poetry, Anecdotes, & t. Occasional Criticisms on New Publications, with amus- ing Extracts. Biographical Notices of Distinguished Persons. The London Gazette, and the latest Prices of the Mar- kets ; and in particular, The Local News, and the Trailing and Shipping Inte- rests of Carnarvon, and whatever is in any way connected with the rapidly increasing Prosperity of the Town and its romantic and Beautiful Neighbourhood. As to Politics, the Proprietors are avare that the CARNARVON HERALD urges its Pretensions to the Confi- dence and Support of the Public in trying Times. They would scorn to be justly numbered with those to whom all Principles are indifferent— in whose Estimation all Vjews are the same— who are continually balancing tlieir Honour and their Interest. They are not, they trust, like a once celebrated Statesman in a neighbour- ing Country, of whom his Sovereign remarked, that " it was only to ask for him and to have him," that " if you bespoke him over Night,, you might be sure of him ill the Morning." They have no Party Connexions; they claim for themselves au entire Exemption from Party Prejudices; and the course which it is their Determination to pursue, without looking to the right hand nr to the left, is that of the most steady and uncom- promising Independence. Tlieir Journal will readily open its columns to the intelligent, the honest, and the. candid of al parties, while it disavows every tiling that bears tiie resemblance of subserviency to the intrigues either of faction nr of power. It will be their study to select what is essential from the leading articles in the best Journals, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, and thus to bring before the reader, ill a small compass, the most important thoughts and opinions which lie scattered throughout numerous and expensive publi- cations. In addition to this no personal labour and no pecu- niary sacrifice will be spared to obtain early genuine intelligence— lo meet the unlimited Demand for useful information which now pervades every class of the community—- and to render the CARNARVON HERALD an entertaining miscellany of light reading, and an instruc- tive repository of general knowledge, calculated to improve at once the understanding, the imagination, and the heart. Such beina: the plan, and such the objects of the CARNARVON HERALD, the Proprietors are encouraged to hope that it will speedily secure to itself a permanent rank of respectability, if liot of excellence, among the newspapers ofthe day— that the diversified nature and the value of its contents will especially recommend il to families and to the guardians of youth— and lhat as it will furnish present, curiosity with tlie means of grati- fication, so it will form an authentic and pleasing chronicle for future reference. The Proprietors flatter themselves, that from the character and circulation of their Journal, it will be found peculiarly desirable as a medium for Advertise- ments. Orders are received at the Office of the CAR- NARVON HERALD, in Bangor street, Carnarvon; and by all Booksellers, News Agents, and Stationers.

Thus the lower classes are ^ cessively discontented they have no confidence i'n the Government— mistrust and. disgust reign amongst them. Never was Paris so drjected. The Prince, whom the rnovrement has put at the head of the State as King, is only a mere puppet in t- he ba'ilfis of the Jacobins: he has neither the courage t ® o fesiSt those who beset him and involve him iii tlieir excesses, nor to join With the sane and well- meaning part of the nation in resisting fhe demands of t he mob, who will upset him when- ever their leaders shall think the moment pro- pitious.

The Messager des Chambrcs; French paper of Wednesday, received by cxjireSs on Friday morning, utilities to an insurrectionary movement at Konigs- burgb, nnd adds that similar demonstrations had heen tnade at Lembergh, in Austrian Poland, at Wilna, the c- afiilaf of Mithuania, and at I- eopoldstadt. The Grand Duke ConstantiAe had solicited an armistice, Which the Provisional Government of Warsaw lias granted ; aud the Prince has issued a proclamation to the people; In which he says that lie will use his good Offices with his brother, the Emperor Nicholas, to obtain an oblivion of all that has hitherto passed The Provisional Government were diligently proceed- ing with the levy of troops, and the formation of municipal and judicial institutions.— The late move luents arc said hy the French papers to be the results of plans and the fruits of secret societies, which, under various names, have existed without intermission in Poland since 1814. The Poles may expect soon to be called upon to defend themselves, for a Russian- corps of 80,000 fnen, in & I1 respects available, was stationed tit bo great distance frotn them. No distinct and complete aceortnt Of fhe immediate cause and progress of the late revolutionary movement iu Poland has yet reached this country ; all antici- pation as to its final result is therefore wholly pre- mature. Accounts, dated Warsaw on the 4lh inst. state, that a new provisional government has been formed iu that city on principles more hostile to Russia than those originally avowed: and that the most active measures were taking to repel any hostile attack. We have received by express letters and papers from Palis, down to Saturday night. At two o'clock M. de Martignac opened the defence of his client, the ex premier, in a splendid speech, which is described as having produced n wonderful effect upon the audience.— Whatever effect M. de iMai'fignae's speech may have bfioh the judges of his Unfortunate Client, we much fear that it will be inadequate in repressing the avidity, for the destruction of the accused, prevailing out of doors, and there is too niuCli reason to apprehend that the popular clamour may act injuriously upon the judgment of the Chamber through the medium of terror. A private letter declares it as the opinion of the write! 1, that if the ex- ministers should be acquitted, or Sentenced to anv punishment less than capital, the Luxembourg ( llie Peers House of Assembly) will be levelled to the ground — with the connivance, if not with the co- operation, of the National Guard. It is much to be regretted that no expedient could be contrived to postpone these unfortunate trials. It is said the affairs of Ihe Netherlands are at length in the way of being accommodated. The Hamburgh papers bring a proclamation by the . military governor of St. Petersburgh,- an- nouncing the suppression ofa lutfiult, If not an in- surrection,- that broke out in that city on the 3d inst. Several Princes ami Noblemen attached to the public service were detected amougtherioters. The accounts from Warsaw, received by fhe Ham- burgh mail, come down to the 7th ; but they fail altogether in defining the character or motives of tbe revolution. We learn that Gen. Cblopicki, to whom the supreme power has been given, with the title of Dictator, has manifested uncommon rigour in restrain- ing his subjects, we suppose they are fo be called, from even passing into the neighbouring districts ; aud the Austrian ami Prussian ministers at Warsaw are treated with particular respect. From this it is plain that the plan of the insurrection is confined to Russian Poland— and even there it is uncompromising; tor the Emperor Nicholas is still spoken of as the undisputed head of the government One of the accounts from Poland assertsthe desertion to the popular cause of no less than 50,000 men stationed near the frontiers, and under tbe command of General Woldeck.

' STATE OF THE COUNTRY. A large fire took place in the neighbourhood o_ Enfield last, night, hy which eleven stacks were con stimed. It is supposed they were fired by a train, as the whole were hurtling at the same time. A gentleman who came up from Sussex by the mail last night, states that when passing through Cuckfield lie saw two fires at a short distance. On Tuesday evening,- a tire was discovered at the Ortfarm, in Watlington- lane, close to the town of Reading. The buildings, being of wood and thatched, were soon a prey to the devouriug element. The buildings were used as workshops for carpenters. The loss, in fhe new made doors, window- sashes, and seasoned wood, is reckoned to be at least £ 500, no part 6f which is insured. A rick was burnt two nights since, about two miles from Strathfieldsay, the property of the Duke of Wellington, notwithstanding his Grace had for some time past had his premises watched by six persons during the day, anil ten during the night.

Sir Robert Spencer, lately appointed Surveyor- General of the Ordnance. He died on board his Majesty's ship Madagascar, under his command, at, Alexandria, on the 4th ult. PAULIAMENTAHV RpriiKSENTATiON.— Ministers are collecting information preparatory lo bringing forward their proposition for Parliamentary Reform In the " House of Commons, on Saturday, Lord Althorp moved for accounts ( according to the census of 1821,) of the population of those Cities and Boroughs in England which now return Representatives— of the population of Cities and Towns in England not now returning Representatives, which amounted in 1821 to 10,000 and upwards— of tbe population of the English and Scotch counties— of the population of those ftoy'il Boroughs in Scotland which return Representatives, and of each city not returning, the population of which in 18* 21, exceeded 8,0!! 0.— From the nature of these returns it would appear that a part of Ministers* plan will be to rjjake the right < having Representatives depend upon the extent of population. If they propose that places not having certain amount of population shall not return Members— and this appears to be their intention— the decayed Boroughs will of course be done away with. The right of voting in those places to which the privilege of sending Representatives is given, will it is thought, depend upon the amount of taxes, ( either Parj. amentary or Local,) paid by individuals — the payment of a certain amount giving a right to vote.-— It is said that if Ministers carry their plan, they will dissolve Parliament* to bring the new system at once into operation.- T- Tbere is, however, it is said, much disagreement in the Ministerial camp on this . subject: many difficulties are stated to be in the way of an Administration, though all was plain sailing to an Opposition ! On Thursday the two pirates, Geo. James Di. t ' es, alias Huntley, nnd William Watts, alms Williams, were executed pursuant, to sentence at Execution Dock. They admitted the justice of their fate, ami conducted themselves with great propriety.

Sir Rofti RT PEEL, after bearing testimony to the merits of Mr. Gregory* said the press of Ireland had calumniated that gentleman ; and the press generally, under the pretence of advocating Reform and economy, was now appealing to the passions of the people^ and at the same time degrading the Constituted Authori- ties of the country. He begged to offer a few words of warning and exhortation to the Right Honourable Gentlemen opposite. The late Government had been denounced as a Government indifferent to the wafits and feelings of the people, and indisposed to that rigid economy which the necessities of the times required. He would now ask the Right Honourable Gentlemen whether, short as their experience had been of Ad- ministration, they did not find the difficulty of carry- ing on the Government greater than they had ex- pected"? He by no means blamed them for the means which they had been compelled to adopt; all that he wished to infer was, that their predecessors ought not to be too hastily censured. Sir ROBEFTF PEEL continued—" The Right Hon. Baronet ( Sir James Graham), when he had less experience on the subject than at present., spoke of the indisposition of the Duke, of Wellington to re- trench to the extent necessary for the public good. Now he ( Sir R. Peel) would honestly and frankly assert, that no member of any Administration had ever been more sincerely desirous of true economy than the Duke of Wellington ; and that few Mem- bers of any Administration bail ever enjoyed equal advantages for enforcing the execution of his wishes. He allowed that the present. Administration had re- duced the offices of Vice- Treasurer of Ireland, of Lieut.- General of the Ordnance, and of Treasurer of the Navy. But did they think that that would be considered sufficient? Would it not be very easy for any body to outbid them for popularity? Would it not be very easy for any man, wijh more extravagant views of what was practicable than those of the Right Hon. BarOnet and his friends, to say fo fhe people— 4 I will carry on the public service on cheaper terms: I will abolish the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster; I will abolish the office of Ix> rd Pi ivy Seal; I will abolish the ofKce of Paymaster of the Army r" '& c. Mr SLANEY believed there were but few who listened to the bad advisers of the Press fo whom the Right Hon. Baronet had referred, so that the poison, in- less it'.- spread- widely, could do little harm to the community at large. Be was persuaded that discon- tent would subside, and finally, disappear It. had been excited by fhe positive declaration of fhe late Ministry, that there should be nO Reform. The pre- sent Government was pledged to a Reform, not only speedy but effectual, and the people would wait patiently for the redeeming of that pledge, in the confidence that they should not be disappointed. Even if the lower orders should not be satisfied, the middle, classes would loyally rally round the banner of a Constitutional Monarch. Much had been said on the subject of distresses; and from some experi- ence in the Southern Counties, he was convinced that tiie distresses at least there were by no means irre- mediable. If gentlemen would but return to their estates, and make those exertions which the situation of the peasantry demanded — if they would come forward to give employment to the poor during the severity of the winter, a considerable and a beneficial change would be soon visible. The House at its rising adjourned to Thursday. MARRIED. On the 18th inst. at St. George's Church, Hanover- Square, W. Tatton Egerton, Esq. M.

He was hy trade a weaver; and when in the prime of life, lie was much famed for his great abilities in manufacturing the most curious pat- terns of table linen, and was employed by the first families in that neighbourhood. On Tuesday night, the 14th inst. a farm building and stack of hay were set on fire, near Whitchurch, iu this county, and, with three cows that were in the barn, were cousumed : the cows and the hay were the properly of an industrious man named William Heath, who resides iu Whitchurch. - On the following morning, the stables attached to the Swan Inn, Whitchurch, occupied by Mr. C. Green, were set on fire, and consumed,- a horse and two ponies that were therein being got out with great difficulty.— There is no doubt of both these fires having been the work of incendiaries.— Every exertion was made by the inhabitants to arrest the flames, and measures were immediately taken for the appreheiis'ou of the suspected parties, who are believed to have been vagrants that were seen fu tbe vicinity on the previous day In consequ2i ce of these lamentable occurrences a constabulary force has been formed in Whit- church, under the direction of the Magistrates; and almost every respectable householder has en- rolled himself as a special constable. We regret to add that the wife of William Heath died of the terror and alarm created iu her mind by the diabolical destruction of their property, and was buried ou Monday last. The Magistrates of thisTown and the County generally have, pursuant to directions received from the Lord Lieutenant, and on the recommend- ation of the Secretary of State, been engaged during the past week in forming and enrolling a Constabulary Force, for the purpose of preserving the public peace in any emergency.

On Monday morning, abotit five o'clock, a fire occurred on the premises of Mr. Thomas Ganian, at Churton Hall, about seven miles from Chester; which consumed a large wooden barn, containing about four hundred measures of oats, with two small ricks of grain. Mr. Gaman bad occasion to go to Aldford at a very early hour in the morning, and when he set out no fire was perceived ; but on the road he observed a brilliant light in the direction of his house, which induced him to return ; before, bow- ever, he could do so, the barn was entirely enveloped in flames, and reduced with its contents to ruin. When Mr. Gaman left for Aldford, the man who saddled his horse had a candle in the stable, which is about fifty yards from the barn ; but iie declares that he never went out of the stable door with the candle in his hand ; the cause of the fire is, therefore, a mystery.

ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— On Friday evening last, at dusk, as Capt Philip Hill, brother to our County Member, was on his way from Hatvk stone to Pradoe, he was attacked near the Piatt Mills by a fellow seizing the reins of his bridle Capt Hill immediately put spurs to his horse; but had not gone far, before another fellow came out of the plantation, placed himself in the middle of the road, and attempted to stop the Captain, who in- stantly aimed a blow at the villain's head with stout ash plant, which felled him to the ground. Capt. Hill then proceeded on his journey.— The ruffians have not yet been apprehended. On Saturday night or Sunday morning last, an aged bay horse, the property of Mr. Tisdale, of this town, auctioneer, was stolen from a field near Cop- thorn ( see Advert. J— We understand that two or three other horses were stolen from this vicinity the same night. In ( lie House of Commons, on Friday, Mr: Slaney presented several petitions from the town Of Shrews- bury against colonial slavery. Same day, Mr. Slaney gave notice; that, « ivfhe 9th of February he should bring forward a mo'tlon on the necessity of securing to the vicinities of- large and populous towns and cities in England an open space contiguous, wherein the inhabitants might take pro- per exercise and breath, such being highly desirable and necessary to the health of a crowded toiwhir— It is reported that professors of the noble gtioes of leap- frog, prison- base, quoits, and bandy, areito be attached to each place of recreation ; also a canteen or small- beer shop, under the New Act, in order that the morals and the health of the people may be duly considered. . v lu the House of Commons, on Saturday, the Marquis of Blandford gave notice, that, after the Christmas recess, he should submit a motion to the House relating to the late election at Liverpool. He did this for the purpose of giving the honourable candidates, and still more honourable electors/ much laughter J, an opportunity of explaining, if pussible, the scandalous reports which are now in circulation. If they were not explained satisfactorily, it would be for the House then fo say, w hether or. not the borough, where such bribery and corruption took place, should not be disfranchised. Sir. Hunt has been returned for Preston iti the room of the Hon. Mr. Stanley At the final fcio'se of the poll on Wednesday, the numbers were declared, for Mr. Hunt 3684— for Air. Stanley 3318, leaving a majority of 336 in favour of tbe former. M r. Stanley, it is stated, demands a scrutiny, for which thirty days arc allowed. As soon as the decision of the Committee with respect to the Evesham election was known, Lieut.- Colonel Maberly ( who represented Northampton for ten years), and Mr. F. Protheroe, jun. ( ihe former Representative of Evesham,) offered themselves can- didates for the Borough.— They are both friendly to the present Ministers. Some of the electors have sent a Requisition to Sir Charles Cockerell's sop, and another ( from the Blues) is gone to Mr. Manning, who formerly represented Evesham. The issuing of a new writ has, however, been suspended until further investigation has taken place in the House of Com- mons as to the circumstances of the late election. Sir George Chetwynd, Bart, of Grendon Hall, in the County of Warwick, between Lady- Dav, 1827, and l ady- Day, 1830, returned to his tenants from 15 to 20 per cent, out of their rents, which were fixed in 1N25; and at his Michaelmas audit, held on, Thurs- day, the 9th instant, made a permanent reduction of his rents ( unsOlicitedly) from 15 lo 25 per cent.

[ FIIOM THE OXFORD HERALD.] What must be tbe consequence of tbe destruction of the machinery used in Ihe making of paper? We shall be obliged to import that necessary article, and at. least three- fourlbs of our workmen will be out of employ, for the large paper cannot be made by hand We are sorry that two magistrates, who reside about 25 miles from this place, but not in this county, were so ignorant as to encouiage Ihe rioters, hy their absurd observations on machinery. We wish such men would remember the old, saying of." ne ssitor," See. Tbev may know a lit tlo Latin and Greek, but they know nothing of tbe world nor of business. We this week had a conversation with a paper. maker, that a few years since made nil his paper by hand. He then. employed three men, three women, and two boys. He has now a machine, and employs, in a small mill, ten and often twelve men, a number of boys, and twenty women, and he assured us that . none but what he calls scamps are out of employ in his vicinity. For other proofs of tl. e flourishing slate of the paper trade, the quality of'the paper, and its cheapness, we refer to our own neighbourhood. Many of us recollect but one mill within several miles of us, where paper of a good quality was made, ( Mr. Faichen's ) and he brought his paper to Oxford market, and there sold it himself. He employed about half- a- dozen men— probably not . so many. Look around us now— is there any comparison in the trade of thirty years hack and that of Ihe present day ? What numbers of men are now employed at Woolvercolt, Ensham, Sandforil, Hampton Gay, aii. l other places ; ; lnd all this is caused hy the superiority of the article now manufactured, and the expedition with which it is made.. Men who destroy- machinery' of this nature, destroy the wealth, the very sinews of their country, anil would red nee it to ( he situation of a paltry German slate. This we were yesterday told hy a foreigner now spending a few days in this city. He said, you have raised England to the highest pilch of glory as a manufacturing country ; you have made her tbe envy and the storehouse of the world by jour ingenious, your admirable machinery, and now your own people would reduce her to insigni- ficance iu Ihe scale of nations." We implore our readers to think of this ere it be too late; to be courageous; to throw aside all fear; to resist tbe unlawful, tbe suicidal attacks of the ignorant, to save than from destroying themselves and their families ; say to those who wish . to burn the fruits of the land— Beware of men who are going about the country lo make you do what you will soon be sorry for. The times arc bad, but will burning corn make your situation more comfortable or give you bread? If you have reason to complain, tell your employers so, like men, and they will no doubt do what they can to make your situation more comfortable. Burn ing the corn will not injure the farmers, because it is insured ; but remember thai you and your families will be in great danger of starving for the want of it before another harvest Even high wages will be of no use to you when there is no corn to make bread !!" KENT ASSIZES.— The Court opened on Tuesday, with a Very heavy calendar, containing the names of ore hundred and twenty prisoners; among whom were seven charged with arson, one sending a threatening lelter, eleven for rioting, and twenty- two for machine breaking. William and Henry Packnian ( brothers) were indicted for setting fire to a barn and stack of wheat straw, in Ihe Blean. The principal evidence in support of the charge was an accomplice, and he detailed, the facts with a minuteness which h ft no doubt of fhe guilt of the prisoners. The jury foil id Ihem guilty, hut recommended them fo mercv. The learned; judge ( Bosanquet) made no observ; ti in in reply, but ordered tbe prisoners to stand down. They weVe then removed to the body of Ihe gaol. ./. Seaman was indicted for setting fire to a strck of straw at Otford. The announcement of a verdict of acquittal appeared to excite considerable surprise iti tbe court, as the evidence was generally supposed to be as conclusive of the guilt of the prisoner as circumstantial proof enuM admit it to be. He was ordered to be detainer] on another indictment. John . Dyke alias ./. Field, was afterwards con- victed of setting., lire to a barn and outhouses, at Bcarsfisl, The prisoner was immediately removed fri rrt the dock. On Ffiday, sentence of death was passed upon Ihe three young men convicted of setting fire to some ricks, mid not Ihe slightest hope of mercy was held out to them hy tbe judge ; sentence of transportation for seven years was also adjudged to seven othefs convicted on the preceding day of breaking threshing machines. On Friday also, eight - labourers were convicted of riotously assembling and causing alarm ami disturbance, four of whom were sentenced lo undergo, two years' imprisonment and hard labour, OIK' eighteen months, and one twelve months. : til* J, 90i --.'•• j ! — TWO- HORSE PLOUGHS. -,•'•> '.') h '' The'lftrdinesswith which the spirit and method: of LAW REGARDING BURNINGS AND DE- STRUCTION OF MACHINERY.

One would think that nothing could be more evident than that a plough drawn by four houses, with a ploughman and driver, is never, for a moment to be compared with a plough drawn by two horses-, and driven by the ploughman, in ail the requisites of an agricultural machine ; and vet it was necessary, that even more than a generation of men should pass away before the improved plough of Smalt Cotild be brought, into general use in Scotland, or before the Kotherham plough of Yorkshire could be extended beyond the narrow district in which it was at first employed. In many parts of England, remarks a judicious observer, four horses and some- times five, are employed to do the work of two; and. to the eye of a Scotch farmer, nothing can appear more ridiculous than- this extraordinary misapplica- tion antl waste of so expensive a power. On the road between Glasgow and Edinburgh a single horse draws from 1 ton to cwt ; while four horses, equal, if not superior, in size, strength, and sym- uietr> V,, are, in many Counties of England ( even where the land is extremely light) to be seen yoked to the plough one before the other The writer of this essay has seen, in Worcestershire, five powerful horses, in the highest condition, yoked at length to a plough, in laud so light, that any one of them could have made as good a furrow as that effected by the whole five ; and this in a field or paddock so small that the first horse was turning at the head of the ridge, when tiie plough was but very little past the middie of the field ! People accustomed to the use of two horses in a plough* well know that they, are fully adequate to the tillage^ of any soil— even of the heaviest sort, and are, besides, far mjre expeditious. This has long been well known ; and it is confirmed by the practice the whole island north of the Tweed, and some of the ; best; cultivated counties in England. It is further strengthened by the important improvements upon the two- horse plough since the time of Small, intro duced by various mechanics in England, and by Wjlkie. and Finlayson, iu Scotland, whose iron ploughs constructed upon good principles, work with nearly oue- ftWrth less power than th<> « ?, I may say, still in jj^ ifcfftl use, I may mention, that I have had three acres of turnip land drilled and covered in each day, on lo^ cny land, by two ploughs, and I have even knowift more done. And it is well known, that a pair .^> f ^ fVthuYnberland or Yorkshire horses will plough in a* day three fourths of an acre of the strongest clay in England; 10 inches deep, and with great ease, whenever the liind is in a fit state to be ploughed. In - shto^ to doubt or call in question the efficiency of tw& iihorses, with a proper plough for the work re- quired, would be little better than asserting, that al- though a single horse and cart might be able to bring in a ton of coals into Glasgow or Edinburgh, yet that it could not be done in the streets of Worcester; or that, alt hough a steam ship could navigate the Clyde, it could not navigate the Thames. A pair of horses and a driver cannot be kept for less than £ 80 a year, on the most moderate calculation ; and every horse moi6 than two in a plough must be regarded as an unnecessary extra expense to individuals, and as a burden and nuisance to the public, for it usurps the place and consumes the food of man.— Quarterly Joiii mil of Ayricu Itui e. RF. VENGF, AND SUICIDE.— A singular case of revenge and self miirder 0CCurre: d tin Sunday week, at Peck ham. The partjcularsmay be best explained in the words of the principal witness at the Coroner's inquest. Mfs. Anne Westhiobk, wife of Edward Westbrook, of the Old Kent Road, gentleman, deposed—" On Sunday week, about one. o'clock, after morning service at ' Dr. Col Iyer's chapel, at PecKham, was over, while walking with My. West- brook, near the Globe, in Hill street, the deceased ( his name Was John Clark) rushed from behind a wall, find flung a quantity of vitriol from a half | » int pot in the face frf Mr. Westbrook, who is now confined to his bed in consequence. A great, portion , of the liquid ( nitric acid) went into Mr. Westbrook's eyes, and it is feared he will lose the sight of both. After having treated Mr. Westbrook in this manner, deceased seized me, and, holding rtie against tiie wall, he poured a quantity of vitriol into the same pot, with the view of dashing it over me. I resisted the attempt; and, when he was kbofi- t to throw the liquid into my face, I struck his arm, aiid nearly the whole of the contents went otfer him instead of me. The deceased still endeavoured to hold me,- but I broke from him and rushed to the Globe, when some person seized him, while I hurried into the house. The deceased was afterward* takert into custody at the same distance from the Globe. He was anxioifs to pay his addresses to one of my family, and I objected to an Union with such a person, havifi'g tmderstood that, he was a Deist. 1 never saw the deceased before, until the day he attacked me and my husband in the irtinner described. 1 received a letter some time since from the deceased, threatening personal violence to me if I still refused to accede to his wishes relative to tfiy sister." Clark was conveyed to the cage; Where he complaified of his eyes, but. Seemed notwithstanding to be asleep along- with the other persons confided there for the night at the time he was locked up, Ju the morning-, he was found on the floor, quite dead ; and, a sUfgeon, who examined the body, declared, that his death was owing to his having swallowed a quantity of Prussia acid, which it seems he had contrived, Notwithstanding a very narrow search, to conceal abo'ut his person. In his pocket was found a long letter, addressed to Sarah Neal, Mrs. Westbrook'g sister, in which he professed a very ardent attachment towards her, but declared his intention to murdef Mrs. Westbrook and her husbatid, whoni it is feared he has maimed foi' life.

The Northampton Mercury * a. y5 — " Theprojectors of the Grand Midland Railway are proceeding wiih increased vigour. It appears to hive been deler mined to commence Ihe line from the London and Birmingham rail. vay us near Northampton as may be found practicable, and to extend it througn Leicester- shire and Derbyshire to Manchester, and by another line ( forming a triangle) to Nottingham, so as wholly to preserve Ihe present midland communication. It appears to be in contemplation to connect Manchester by means of Ihe Sheffield and Manchester railway, and thus open lo London, through the midland districts, a communication not only with Cheshire anil Lancashire, hot also by Sheffield with Yorkshire and the great Northern districts. Next to the London and Birmingham railway, the Midlahd lays claint to being the most valuable project amongst the" railway speculations, and considering the greater length of line may vie in public importance and advantage to subscribers, even with that between Liverpool and Manchester. MR. DF. NISON AND THE ADMINISTRATION.— It will be remembered that Mr. Denison, during the whole of his stay in Liverpool, avowed himself hostile to Ihe East India Company's monopoly, and that, especially on the day of nomination, he stated, that whether in office or out of it, he should invariably oppose the renewal of the charter. This declaration very naturally alarmed ( he Company, who thought the appointment of a man of such sentiments to the office of Secretary of the Board of Controul was nothing less than a declaration of war against them, and who in consequence urgently remonstrated against the appointment. The moment that Mr. Denison became acquainted with Ihe objections of the Com- pany, he determined, rather than put Ihe government to the least inconvenience, lo resign, anil sent iii his resignation. The resignation was accepted under the circumstances, but the office of Secretary to the Ord- nance was immediately offered him in its stead, with a seat in Parliament. — Gore's Liverpool Paper.

The ( he- msford Chronicle also of Friday mornng says—" The late lamentable disturbances amongst the labourers in the eastern part of this county, and particularly in the hundred of Tend ring, we are happy in being enabled, on the most respectable authority, to state, have been completely suppressed." The Sussex paper likewise observes—" We con-' gratulate our readers upon the improved and quiet state of the county ; no fire has occurred that we have heard of for the last week; and the rising of the labouring classes appears to have entirely subsided " On YVednesday afternoon, a little before four o'clock, a barn situated close to the town of Guild- ford was discovered to be on fire, and the building was consumed in little more than an hour. It contained a few loads of straw, with a great. number of barrels, casks, & c. a considerable part of which were saved by'the daring exertions of the workmen. £ H( 0ceUanrcM< 5 Intelligence.

On Monday, at the call of Mr. Attwood, a numer- ous assemblage of the working classes of this town took place at Mr. Beards worth's Repositorj, when a long string of resolutions on the subject of Parlia- mentary Reform, together with a " Petition of Rights," concocted by the " Political Council" from the' Marquis of Blandford's bill, was carried by acclamation. With one single exception, those who took an active part in the proceedings were the same individuals who have usually advocated the measures adopted by Mr. Attwood and his supporters. The exception to which we refer was Mr. Joseph Parkes, who took the opportunity, for want ( we conclude) of a better, publicly to deliver his sentiments in favour of vote by ballot. The proceedings were protracted until nightfall, and a considerable portion of the meeting left before the conclusion.

EAST INDIES.— AVe have Calcutta papers this morning to the 24th August, fcnsign Marshall of his Majesty's 4thh regiment, had shot Captain Leith of the same regiment, in a duel. These1 papers contain accounts from Ava, announcing the arrival of Major Burney, the British Envoy, and suite, on the 24tli April. Major Burney, did not obtairt an audience until the 17th of June, chiefly in consequence of his illness, and his repeated refusal to remove his shoes \ tdiert introduced to the King. He was at last obliged to consent, when an audience was granted, and a number of elephants were then sent for his use. At, nine in the morning the procession commenced. Major Borney was carried in his ton- jon, preceded bv four silverstick be arers, with the portrait of the King of England His- suite followed on elephants with the presents The spectators aniounted toi 20,000 persons. The Major was obliged to wait at the Royal Court House till the PrinCes and great OJIieers had entered the Palace in State, during which time refreshments were served, in, gold utensils. The shoes were discarded at the steps of fhe Hall of Audience, an< l the Envoy arid suite were seated imme- diately iri front of the Throne. After a few minutes a rumbling- sound like distant thunder was heard* when a folding gilt door was thrown open* and the King, most richly attired, made his appearance^ He had on a gold crown rfnd a gold flowered gown, richly beset with jewels. All the Courtiers prostrated themselves, and the Embassy took off their hats and bowed. The appointed Burmese officer then read aloud the letter from the Governor General, and a list of the presents. The King enquired after the health of the Governor- General, if the seasons were favourable^ and if there were refreshing rains at Calcutta; to which suitable answers were returned. Shortly after his Majesty retired and the folding doors were closed. A most gallant action has just taken place near the Island of Ascensioti. His Majesty's ship Falcon, of 12 guns, and 30 men, fell in with a pirate mount- ing 50 guns with a crew of 250 men ; arid after two hours and. a half's hard fighting, succeeded in making her a prizes— The httle crew was in no small diffi- culty, after the. capture of tiieir dispropoi- iioned antagonist, what to do with their prisoners, who, as soon as they had an opportunity, shewed" every symp- tom of design of overmastering them. On reaching Ascension, the officers of the Falcon sent the pirates on shore in companies of 20, and hanged them on the island, reserving only the pirate captain and mate, whom they carried off to Bermuda to be tried. Speaking of a certain class of persons, it has been observed-?*" Their abuses are directed against all constituted authorities— they scoff at religion-— slander and ridicule the Clergy— deride morals— and promulgate the most direct incitements for the destruction of the Constitution, and of every, sacked establishment, in the country. There is nothing estimable in the nation, either of persons or things, which is not covered with their shameless falsehoods and scurrilities, and their praises are reserved alone for those public, men \ yhose conduct and speeches harmonize with their own views and promote their wishes. How does it happen, when all this is so notorious— when the evil is so gross and flagrant as to carry conviction to every sober and rational mind — how does it happen, I say, that this is tolerated ? He who, in the present state of the country, should dissipate this prejudice, would deserve a statue of gold ; but prejudice is the most potent of all advers- aries with whom truth has to grapple. Ignorance will listen and'believe ; but prejudice stops her ears, and spurns at conviction, Reason, teaches us that a free press may be rendered the means of propagating all kinds' of useful knowledge— it may be made tho scourge of public delinquency— it may be converted into the most, efficient cheek 011 the abuse of all pub- lic authority— it. may keep public opinion in a healthy state, and, fro n its boundless influence over the public mind, it may rouse the nation to resist al! infringements on its rights arid liberties— mav call forth al! its energies to punish and resist insult and aggression— and rally round it every thing estimable in the world for its succour and protection.

S* R, In n teller which yon wort so obliging as fo insert in yotrr last Journal, I endeavoured to excite atten- tion on the part of tiie owners of estates iri this county, and of others interested in the welfare of the poor, to the present condition of our agricultural labourers, w ith a view to the enquiry, how far their condition requires amelioration, and admits of it, and what are the best means which Can be adopted to promote thei? comfort, and- contentment. One cir- cumstance aff< cling them 1 pointed out, which lam convinced is a r'c# l hardship, and is felt to he so, viz. their collages being generally let as members and appurtenances lo the large farms; and 1 trust I suc- ceeded in- shewing that much advantage would result from their being restored to flieir long- lost privilege of holdifnr their tenements directly from the owner of the soil. Allow me now to avail myself further of your indulgence to offer, through the medium of your respectable Paper, one further suggestion as- to the Advantage of ;> ^ - opriating< small allotments of land to the cottage* wf the peasantry, in addition to the eenfined gardens which are at pfesent attached to them. 1 am aware that there is no novelty in this suggestion : if, indeed, there were, 1 should feel some distrust in offering it : but the chief recommendation of this plan is, that it is not new ; it has long been deled upon by enlightened and benevolent, landlords, in this and in other counties of England : and they who have tried it, have borne convincing testimony to its wholesome results. The late Sir William Pnl- tone. y both recommended strongly this appropriation of land to cottages, and adopted it himself, 1 believe on a large scale, on a part of his estates in this county j and on the property of the Marquis of Cleveland at Wroxeter, I am informed, the plan is still persevered in, ami the effect of it is such as fully to justify the discrimination of the former Proprietor. The Society for lettering the Condition of the Poor, nnder the auspices of the late patriotic Sir Thomas Bernard, communicate in their valuable Reports repeated statements of the success of this and similar plans. The present excellent Bishop of Bath and Wells, and other eminent persons, have also tried the plan; and we have seen assurances of its having: completely answered the benevolent purposes which they contemplated. Some care and judgment afe of course necessary ih carrying such a measure into execution : and 1 should suggest— 1. The quantity of land allotted to each cottager should not be so great as to interfere with his Usual daily labour, and therefore should trot exceed one acre. 2. It should be contiguous fo the cottage, or if that is not. practicable, it should be near enough to f> e occupied without loss of time. 3. It should be let at a rent not exceeding the Value at w hich the land would be estimated, if let to a. farmer. 4. Regulations should be laid downy and strictly enforced, as to the mode of cultivation, c. g. It might -& e divided into two parts, to be planted alternately with potatoes and wheat; the straw and stubble of ( he wheat to be kept, and reduced into manure for the ensuing potaloe crop. Sir William Pulteney mentions an instance of a cottage garden, of nearly an acre of ground, w hich was cultivated in this mode for twelve years, and with increasing profit to the occupier.— See Reports of the Society for Bettering the Condition of the Poor, vol. 5, p. 74. Allow me to observe, that this plan can only be acted upon with a probability of success by the inhabitant of the cottage being able to count with t'plcrablc certainty on his being allowed to continue hi his cottage ; and this he cannot do unless he holds his tenement immediately from the owner of the soil. Let, then, these two ways of ameliorating the con- dition of the poor be tried, and let them be tried together, and interwoven one with the other. First of all, emancipate the labouring man ; let him be brought into immediate connection with the propri- etor of the estate, without any link between ; and let him have, like the farmer, a free market to dispose of that only commodity which he has to sell— his labour. And, secondly, let him have an interest in fhe prosperity of his native country, by having such a portion of its soil to cultivate himself, as he can cultivate with real profit. Can there be nay doubt that by these means yon will essentially benefit the poor man and improve his means of living and maintaining his family ? and if so, will you not render his mind more contented and satisfied? will you not. make him attached to yourself, and to the institutions of his country ? Let us look- around us, and say, is there not a cause why we should aim at these results? are they not highly deserving our best attention ? are they not such as to Justify our going out of the beaten track, and taking some pains, and using some exertion? Let, then, those who are proprietors of estates in this county be prevailed with immediately to take active steps towards effecting these important changes iu our agricultural system which have been recommended : let them not lose a day without either making them- selves personally the necessary arrangements, or else giving the proper instructions to those who act on their behalf, and requesting their immediate inter- vention in carrying their wishes into effect. And let me hope, ( if indeed my views are not altogether founded in error and misconception,) let me hope that i shall meet with the ready concurrence and co- operation of those eminent professional persons in this county who hold at this time the very responsible situations of land- agents or stewards. I know that the measures which I have suggested will entail upon them additional trouble without proportionate recom- pense ; but 1 cannot doubt that, as lovers of their country, they will feel the same strong desire which I do myself to promote an object at all times import- ant, but never more obviously so than at this moment — the welfare and happiness of the industrious poor. I remain, Sir, respectfully, Your's, & c. PHILOPATRIS. Dec. 13, 1830. Jin Jld dress ta the Labourers, on the Subject of Destroifing Machinery. The following plain and simple observations are addressed to you, on a subject which deeply con- cerns you all— in w hich your interest is as much at Make as that of the farmer and landlord. You appear to have contracted a great dislike to the use of what are termed machines, uud chiefly to the use of threshing- machines. You have never well considered the reason of your dislike. You merely state that machines are hurtful to the labourers— that they prevent the poor being em- ployed. Upon these grounds you proceed to destroy them. The word machine seems to convey to your ( mud* Home contrivance necessarily attended with mischief to the poor, whereas, in truth, the word machine means the same as tool or instrument— on all occasions has the same signification. A thresh- ing machine is a tool or instrument with which we thresh ; so is a flail, only that it is a far less useful machine. You must remember that the Almighty has sent man into the world furnished, as far as the make of bis body is concerned, with less means of providing sustenance for himself than any other animal it has pleased him to create. All olher animals early, indeed soon after their birth, provide for them- selves ; the care of the parent ceases, and each in- dividual amongst them depends on his natural powers for support. But this bodily weakness of man is amply and fully made up to him, and the defect supplied by the reason, intelligence, and invention, which God has bestowed upon him. Man, when thrown into the world in this state of weakness, begins, as soon as he feels his wants and the necessity of finding food, to look about for tools, instruments, or machines, to assist him in cultivating the soil, the common mother of all his comforts, lie first invents the most simple tools— the hoe, the spade, the rake, the axe, the flail, the last of which is a machine which requires much experience to use with effect ; but before he can obtain these machines or tools in the perfection which we now use them, he must have discovered iron, the art of melting it, of casting it, and, when so casij reducing it again into hard, soft, or brittle metal, according to the uses for which he destines it. As men by experience and practice extend their kuowledgo further, they contrive other machines, instruments, or tools ; they make the wheel, the cart, the plough— all of which are intended and used to ease his toil and abridge his labour. If these instruments did not produce this effect, men would reject them as useless and unprofitable. Further experience aud practice lead to further contrivances, but they are always made with the same object in view, that of decreasing our bodily toil aud increasing our comforts. Men have in- vented the complicated machinery of mills, thresh- ing- machines, aud steam- engines; and these are used because they tend to increase not only the comforts of him who uses them, but of him who purchases the articles and necessaries of life which these machines prepare for market, and conse- quently for the whole community. W hatever tool, instrument, or machine lessens the quantity of labour required to prepare any commodity or article, renders. it cheaper in the market aud more wilhin the reach of every person who desires to buy it; and of. course, as labourers are buyers, hey profit by the cheapness. This is proved by the following plain and simple reasoning. The price which must be paid for any article which is bought is always equal at least to the cost price of the labour bestowed upon it. The labourer must be paid for his work, and this pay- ment to him makes a part of the price asked for the article to be sold. An article which requires the labour of two men to make. it, must cost twice as much as one which requires the labour of a single man only; but if a person, by the invention of some I machine, tool, or instrument, can make, with the assistance of such machine, an article,, which, before the invention, took the labour of two men, he can afford to sell it for the price of the labour of one man, and a payt of the price the machine so invented cost him ; and as these tools often last a long time, a small pojtioi of that price is sufficient. Now, these plain truths apply equally to the most simple and the most complicated machines or tools. Take the example of a carpenter. By the assist- ance Of his saw, his axe, his planes, his chisels, of the best sort and construction, he will do as much work as two men can do with worse tools, aud ten times as much as ten men could without any machine or tools whatever. When Peter the Great was endeavouring to civilize his Russian subjects, he found that they had no other way of splitting their trees into deals, except by the axe, which wasted their labour and their timber, and made very clumsy planks. Ho introduced the saw, by laying a tax upon deals cut with the axe; and though the first year brought a large revenue from the impost, the next year it fetched little or nothing, all men usiiur the saw, which they found an immense saving; of both work and wood; and the poor Russians, though very uncivilized and ignorant,- had the sense to see that all the people gained by the change, because all got their deals cheaper and better, therefore they never dreamt of complaining that the saw threw hands out of em- ployment. Now, suppose a labourer should go to a carpenter working wilh machines or tools of the best construction, and say to him, " These tools prevent the labourer being employed, and you shall use worse tools, and take another hand to help you.* Would not the carpenter answer to the labourer, « 4 You are a madman ! I can sell you the articles you want cheaper, aud 1 make them cheaper than if they required two men to make them. It is not the interest of you or of any individual to destroy my tools; and if you attempt it, and I can resist your attempt by force, 1 will do it ; if I1 cannot, aud am obliged to yield to your lawless and cruel endeavour to injure m. e and your- self, I will seek, my remedy against you at the hands of justice." Now remember, Labourers, there is no difference between the case of the labourer who breaks the threshing- machine of the farmer, and that of the labourer who destroys the tools or machines of the carpenter. The injustice is equal in both eases, although the consequences are more striking in the case of the farmer, from the great value of ma- chines destroyed, and the injury sustained by the numerous individuals who depend upon the farmer for a supply of corn. When the farmer has cut his corn aud housed it, the grain must be separated from the chaff and stiaw ; you would not, surely, desire to rub it out with your hands, though certainly that would lake more labourers. Some machine or instrument must be used to thresh it out. Why should not the farmer be permitted to use the instrument which will do this work most readily aud effectually.— which will do it at the least cost, and enable him to send the corn to market, to be sold at the lowest price ? Your clothes, your stockings, your shirts, are all made by machinery, far more curiously contrived than fhe threshing- machine. The calico which makes your shirts is woven by a machine, attended only by a girl ; but in consequence of the lilt 1 e labour required to manage it, the shirt which formerly cost 7s. now costs only 18d. It is undoubtedly true that all machinery which spares human labour, unavoidably, on its first invention, and on th ^ beginning of its work, throws some persons out of the employment in which they had been engaged, ond they must seek, their means of support in some other way. This is the neces- sary consequence of the introduction into use of the most simple instrument, and of all improvements in art But, on the whole, the public and every individual in it, are in the end infinitely the gainers. In following the course you are now pursuing, you are driving men back to their savage state, when they lived upon acorns and roots, aud had no ma- chines nor tools at all, a great demand for labour, and very little to eat. The object of this Address is to point out to you that the breaking of machinery w ill not remedy the evils of which you complain. You will soon deeply repent of your projects and your acts. You will find that corn will rise in price, in proportion to the increase of labour bestowed in bringing it to market. The outrages you have committed are equally disgraceful and injurious to yourselves, and must, in combination with the more horrible crime of burning, spread famine and desolation through the land. Your sufferings cannot be relieved by such acts; you will heap on your own heads, on your children, your families, and the rest of your fellow- creatures, evils which, when they arrive, will terrify the stoutest hearts; and fill with repentance and remorse the boldest of your leaders. It is true that the number of labourers exceed the means which can be found for their employment ; and in this excess lies the real cause of the present distress amongst you. It has been brought on by a train of circumstances, for which the present generation, are not answerable. But the remedy will not be found iu employing two men to do that which can be done, aud better done, by one. The best relief will be found in the fervent and anxious desire which is now felt by landlords and their tenants, to make every sacrifice in their power to support and comfort those for whom constant employ cannot be obtained, and to pay those who are fully employed a sum amply sufficient to pur- chase the necessaries and comforts of life. An in- crease of trade, commerce, and manufactures, as the country prospers, will cause an increase in the growth of corn, to supply the food of those who labour in manufactories; fresh mouths to feed will require more food for their use, and take up the labourers who are now unemployed in the fields. A few years ago, when there was a full demand for labour, threshing was considered as the most irksome kind of labour. It may now be said in defence, even of the much- abused threshing- ma- chines, that the farmer can employ the whole number of his labourers under shelter on wet days, whereas, when he threshes by the flail, two or three men are constantly at work under shelter even in dry weather, and there is no room to admit more, no comfortable work for the whole number in bad weather. LORD PA GOT. The following circular has been sent by Lord Bagot. to all his tenantry. It may be right, in ex- planation to say, that his Lordship has always been one of the most mild and liberal landowners in the kingdom ; that a distress or execution for rent, has never happened on his estates,— nor has there ever been an instance in which such proceedings. were s wanted; During the severest pressure of agricul- tural distre ss, his tenantry have enjoyed a comfortable support, if not getting a handsome remuneration. His Lordship is so attached to old faces, as never to admit, of a change, while any branch of an old tenant's family remains to occupy. He has long been in the habit of returning a large percentage on his moderate rents, and then promised, if the evil became perma- nent, to meet it by a more permanent reduction. That time, he appears to think, is now come. But the latter part of the circular appears to be that only now intended as a direct notice, and may be presumed lo be addressed to the few who, while enjoying every comfort themselves, forget lhat. there is a class below them w ho have also a just claim to a living from the cultivation of the soil.—-^ H may be inferred, that by issuing the circular at the present moment, his lord- ship is giving way to the prevailing panic; yet, on reflection, it will be apparent this Cannot be. Uni- versally looked up to as the friend and patron of honest industry, and a father to his tenantry, he has nothing to fear. On these grounds, he does not press them to any particular rate, or any increase of wages, well knowing, that employment will secure present subsistence; and, that when things improve, labour will be more in demand,- the farmer will be fairly remunerated for the money expended in cultivation, and then wages will mount up to their proper standard aa a matter of course. Srri, Pool Park, 30f/ i Nov. 1830. I have appointed the 23d of December to YcceivC my Michaelmas rents, and as it. may be convenient to you to know, 1 beg to state, that it is my intention on that day to make the same allowance out of your half year's rent as on the preceding rent- dav. I take this opportunity also of further stating, that as the depression upon the agricultural interest appears less temporary than I hoped would have been the ca£ e, it is my anxious wish and my intention that an equitable arrangement of rents should take place ih the ensuing year, according to the present value of land ; and I trust that the proposals I shall hereafter be prepared to make, will lead to an ad- justment that may be mutually satisfactory to my tenantry and to myself. dn making this declaration, and thereby shewing that I am perfectly ready to make every reasonable sacrifice to promote the welfare of a tenantry, for whom,- throughout my life, 1 have felt the greatest regard, I must at the same time stipulate for the performance of one important duty on their part, which is,— that all my tenants should take into their employ such a number of labourers as the size of their farms require, and upon such wages as they may then be fairly entitled to. . . By thus promoting the necessary comforts of the labouring classes, my tenantry will not less advance their own interests than prove their attachment to myself hy co- operating with me in what is so manifestly for the advantage of the country. I remain, Sir, Your sincerely attached landlord, BAGOT. " RUMINATIONS tc llonnd the Remains of a Punch Bowl, on Resignation of Billy Holmes and others by the help of your miraculous resignation. We ' are both staunch and out- and- out Protestants. On the last occasion, when Peel broke into our consti- tution of 1688, and stole every thing he found there, it so happened, that neither of us voted against him. I, because I was not a member of the House of Com- mons ; and you, because, by one of the straugest accidents in the world, you were shut out. Strange indeed is fhe accident which shuts out a whipper- in. For my part, 1 have never ceased to deplore the awkward and untoward event which prevented you from dividing, as no doubt you had intended, against the motion ; but such misfortunes, you know, William, occasionally happen in the best regulated families. It is, therefore, doubly vexatious, to find the case of so eminent and enthusiastic a Protestant as you are cited in this unfortunate manner in be- half of Popery.

Hang- it, I shall never forget that it was you who turned out " Husky, my old soger," in a lime when I thought that so doing was a matter lo be applauded. Your merits deserve candour, at least 5 and in candour this must be said, that Duucanuon never had your fine and judicious finger iu managing liis pack. He generally fancied that he had a sort of right to enquire inlo Ihe propriety of the question before him : had a kind of notion that he might in- dulge his private feelings, aud whip or not whip, as it pleased himself. But you, Holmes, never asked Ihe question— never. The order was given, and your official thong was instantly iu motion, without any regard as to the reason why, except the firsl of all reasons^ that the master wished it. And now you are gone— and the small remainder of my bowl is going too. Thus wanes and finishes all that is worth having in the world. By all that's magnificent, I cannot make out why Holmes re- signed ! 1 think of it to myself over aud over again, and am still puzzled. So is every body else.

It is done, however, and to- morrow moruiug we may have earthquakes for breakfast. ***** No matter, tbe world is wide. Let them battle it among them as they please. It is nothing to me. What I was saying was, that I thought Billy Ho'ines is the most wonderfully unaccountable person in existence, i Vhy did lie resign ? 1 speak iu italics in order to be emphatic. Oh, William! Billy ! Bill! I grieve for thee, my brother : my heart is scalded by your calamity, and tears, hot as Ihe water simmering in yon ketlle, flow down my cheeks when I think of your un- paralleled misfortune. In our common country, you know the usual enquiry made of a corpse when we wake it. You know with what a tender anxiety we inquire," Why did you die?" With equal ten- derness and anxiety, I ask yon, " Why did you resign?" You who had clung firm under 1- oVd Liverpool, under George Canning, under Goosey Goderich, utider King Arthur ; you now, at this time of your life to resign ! The world is coming lo an end ! Much as 1 valued you, ready as I have ever been to acknowledge your various virtues, 1 never till now thought lhat I should hare to enu- merate among them, that of resignation. I have lived iu perilous times, and have smoked my cigar undisturbed during the last eventful months, though George the Fourth, nty gracious master, lias been enibowelled— Charles X. kicked out— Ihe Dauphin dismissed— Henry V. as dead to the Throne of France, as that other Fifth Harry, in whose days little boys did play at span counter for French crowns— a Harry who, by the bye, rather a different figure in Paris from my old shooting companion, Charles Dix— Anthony of Saxony, made cry peccari, and beating his breast willi his double fists, exclaim, " Though my fault, though my fault, though my most grievous fault !" — William of the Netherlands slated— Leopold lofty prince, uli- Greeked— Prince Polignac iu quod — Ihe Duke of Brunswick sent upon his travels the Duke of Wellington out. These things I saw or hear."— and yet any per- son who attended the cigarium in ihe Strand, might have seen me between the hours of twelve ami oue smoking the weed of Havantiah with the most un- disturbed screuity, and playing chcss in a slyle that would have made Philidor hang himself. But now I confess I give up fairly. Holmes has resigned. People do not know what to believe. It lias given a shock to Ihe ordinary rules for judg- ing llie credibility of history. What inference can now be considered certain— what consequence de- duced from a long induction of carefully sifted particulars depended upon ? Believe me, it is 110 light mailer thus to tamper with regular grounds of belief, assent, and opinion. The Roman Catholics have drawn it over t ) their side already. I dined yesterday with Lord Shrewsbury, a pleasant, intel- ligent, and ingenious man, and we had much pri- vate conversation respecting Prince Hohenlohe. His Serene Highness was lately applied to by Lord S. in a matter, wherein, though uo miracle- monger, I thought I could render his Lordship assistance j I am, though a bigoted and brutal Orangeman, a liberal man at bottom, and have uo objection to aid even a Papist iu a private way : but I could not help expressing my opinion that Hohenlohe was a humbug. " As for his miracles, my Lord," said j, " lliey are all sham — there is no such thing now- a- days." " Ensigp," said his Lordship, " Billy Holmes resigned yesterday." 1 felt the force of the argument; there was 110 resisting it— three or four jesuils who were at table triumphed over my fall.

THE EVESHAM ELECTION.— AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Our readers are aware that the petition in this case was founded in a charge of bribery against the sitting members, Sir Charles Cockerell and Lord Kennedy, lu support of this charge about sixteen freemen residing in London deposed that Ihey had gone down lo Evesham, and voted for the sitting members. That after the election was over, Ihey bad received £ 12 each for loss of time, independently of their expenses, without having contracted for, or being previously promised any sum— they merely expected to be paid for loss of time, as was usual at previous elections. There was no evidence to show that any of the members were even cognizant of any money having been paid to the electors, except that it appeared that those who had paid the money had taken an active part in the election. It was strenu- ously contended on behalf of the sitting members that, in the aliscnce of all evidence to implicate their clients, it should be presumed that the money had been advanced by the Blues themselves to support their own party against the Yellows ; but there was no evidence to support such a presumption. Mr. Rigby having been heard this day on behalf of Lord Kennedy ( whom he observed was incapable of bringing such a disgrace on his family as to bribe a Voter), the room was cleared, and the committee having deliberated for an hour and a half, the chairman read the following resolutions: — " That the committee had decided that the allega- tion brought against the returning officer for illegally closing the poll had not been substantiated. " That Sir Charles Cockerell and Lord Kennedy wese severally guilty of bribery. " That the late election for the borough of Evesham was void ; and that neither the petition against the election, nor the opposition to it, was frivolous or vexatious." This decision cxcited a considerable sensation in the room, it being by 110 means expected, for it is not unusual to pay out- voters for loss of lime. Sir Charles Cockerell and Lord Kennedy are herebv incapacitated from sitting in the present parliament. fEtofelianeous intelligence. In the House of Commons, 011 Tuesday, Mr. Littleton obtained leave lo bring in a Bill to pre- vent the payment of wages in goods, according to what is familiarly called the " truck system."

Lord Clonbrock has given, almost unasked, reduc- tions of 20 per cent, to such of his tenants of all ranks whom lie considered to have held too high, although his lands are set far beneath the average of the adjacent districts.

It is said that Earls Grosvenor and Fitzwiiliam will be created Marquisses ; the former as Marquis Grosvenor or Belgrave, the latter as Marquis Rock- ingham. TREMENDOUS PENALTIES FOR BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.— We have some reason to believe that steps are now taking by a well known gentleman in Liverpool to obtain such information as may set asitle the lale election altogether ; and we know it to be a fact that, another very active and determined gentleman is adopting such measures as may compel restitution from many of those who accepted bribes, and also punish the parties. We fancy that those gentlemen who took an active part in this disgraceful traffic could hardly have been aware of the tre- mendous risks to which they were exposing them- selves; neither were those whom Ihev corrupted probably aware of tbe statute of Geo II. c. 24, s. 9, which enacts, that " If any person shall lake any money, or other reward or contract, or agree for any money, gift, office, employment, or other reward, to give, or forbear to give, bis vote, he shall forfeit £ 500." What follows is more serious still: — " Antl if any person offending shall, within twelve months after the election, discover any person or persons offending, as aforesaid, he shall he indemni- fied and discharged from all penalties and disabilities which he shall have incurred by any offence against the said act."— Liverpool Mercury.—[ A petition against the return of Mr. Ewart was presented in the House of Commons, on Monday.] His Majesty held a Levee at his Palace in St. James's, on Wednesday last.— Among the presenta- tions— was Lieut.

The Kent Herald says—" It has been notified to the officers, clerks, and others, in the Dock- yard at Sheerness, receiving salaries, that the amounts would be rcduccd 011 Ihe following scale:— All salaries above £ 200 per year fo be reduced £ 20 per cent, and all of £ 200 aud under to be reduced £ 15 per cent. On Saturday last, Mr. Stephenson's locomotive engine, the Pianet, took the firsl load of merchan- dize which has passed along the Railway from Liverpool to Manchester. The train consisted of eighteen waggons, containing 135 bags and bales of American cotton, 200 barrels of flour, 03 sacks of oatmeal, and 34 sacks of malt, weighing altogether 51 tons 11 cwt. 1 qr. To this must be added the weight of tbe waggons and oil cloths, viz. 23 tons 8 cwt. 3 qrs. the tender, water, and fuel, 4 Ions, and of fifteen persons upon the train, 1 ton, making a total weight of exactly eighty tons, exclusive of the engine, about six tons. The journey was per- formed in two hours and fifty- four minutes, includ- ing three stoppages of five minutes each ( only one being necessary under ordinary circumstances) for oiling, watering, and taking in fuel ; under the disadvantages of ail adverse wind, and of a great additional friction in the wheels and axles, owing to their being entirely new. Tbe train was assisted up the Raiuhill inclined plane by other engines at llie rale of nine miles an hour, and descended tbe Sutton incline at the rate of !(> § miles an hour. The average rate 011 the other parts" of the road was 12j miles an hour, the greatest speed 011 the level being 15 j miles an hour, which was maintained for a mile or two at different periods of the journey. In the House of Lords, on Thursday, Lord Wyn- ford concluded a very long speech 011 the distress of the country, by moving for a general inquiry into its causes and the means of remedy. Earl Grey objected to the motion, and it was subsequently withdrawn, ou finding the house indisposed to embarrass or betray a want of confidence in the executive government, by instituting an inquiry of the kind in the face of the pledge which Ministers had given, to devote their best attention to the subject. In the House of Commons, on Monday, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer said, that his Hon. Friend the Member for Middlesex ( Mr. Hume), had asked him whether he would have any objection to grant a Committee with power to inquire into the amount of sinecures, pensions, and other useless salaries. In reply to that question, he would ask his Honour- able Friend lo allow Ministers to make inquiry into that subject themselves, aud to make such reduc- tions as they might themselves think necessary. When they had done all that they thought them- selves authorised to do iu the way of retrenching such salaries aud pensions, then would be the time for his Hon. Friend, if he were dissatisfied with their retrenchments, to come forward with the motion he had threatened. All that he could say at present was, that Ministers intended to abolish all offices, no matter whether they were high or low, which were held by individuals performing 110 duties. As far as they had yet gone in the formation of the Government, it must be evident to the House that they had acted upou that principle. They had con- tinued 110 office that was not known to be useful. They had abolished some which were known to be useless. And if in any department of the State they could perform the public service efficiently with a less number of clerks, they would not hesitate to reduce them, 110 matter whom they offended. Thank God, the time when the country could be governed by patronage was now past. Where the sacrifice of office was the mere sacrifice of patron- age, it would be made without the slightest hesita- tion and with tbe most unflinching spirit. Where the office was really useful, it would be kept up, aud the reasons for keeping it up would be left to tbe judgment of the public. In Ihe House of Commons last week, the queslion of the ballot came, incidentally, under consideration upon fhe presentation of a foolish petition from the people of Armagh. The petitioners, though among the most loyal of his Majesty's subjects, have been so much irritated by Ihe heinous abuse of even the abuse of borough- mongering committed in the instance of the late election, at which Mr. Goulburn was returned as the chosen representative of Armagh, to parliament^ at the very moment in which the people of Armi. gh were hanging him in effigy— the petitioners, so, and so justly, irritated, have not unnaturally, though not very wisely, run into the extremes of demanding the election by ballot and universal suffrage.— Lord Acheson, in an able spccch, remarked upon the absurdity of supposing that tbe ballot could ensure secrecy, and cited the example of America, where, it is well ascertained, every man's vole is as fully known as if delivered orally.— Mr. O'Connell replied by observing, that in America this might be the case, because there was there little temptation to bribe.— We rather suspcct that Mr. O'Connell is right, and that the openness of tlie American election, beyond what the law requires, is a necessary concomitant to its honesty. If the same motives of corruption existed in America as in England, we have 110 doubt that Ihe corrupt would avail themselves of the privacy of the ballot to drive their bargains in secret. The growth of the American caucus is abundant proof that under a ballot system elections may be secured by manage- ment; for it is well known that a caucus ( which, let the reader understand, is a conspiracy of a few dozen trading politicians, as the tailors, philosophers, & c who return the Westminster members) can as surely pro- cure the return of the greatest scoundrel in the States to Congress, as Sir Masseh Lopez could in England procure his return to tbe House of Commons. But what sort of institution do the Protestant petitioners of Armagh think a ballot would be in the hands of the Roman Catholic clergy ? to them at least, the dis position of Roman Catholic votes would be no secrct; they who have now to bring the freeholders to vote against their landlords, by aid of foot and cudgel, penances, bannings, and excommunication,— would they not know how to bring the ballot to account at an Irish election ?— Would the ballot not do all tbe work for which the priests now labour so industriously ? We beg tbe Protestants of Armagh lo think of these things, and, if possible, to forget Mr. Goulburn— through one parliament. HINTS FOR ELECTORS.— A writer in Ihe last number of- 4 Blackwood's Magazine" has the follow ing remarks, which cannot be too forcibly impressed 011 Ihe minds of all reformers:—" Profligate electors ( says this writer) must form a profligate Legislature, anil such a Legislature must crcate a profligate Executive. Profligacy must make a Government tyrannical, and render a people incapable of bein, governed, save through tyranny. Freedom never could obtain being, save through morals, and it never could outlive them. They have made various coun- tries prosperous and happy with a bad form of Go- vernment, while the want of them has caused others to be distressed and wretched with tbe best. In proportion as a nation is immoral its Government must and will be despotic." PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKERS.— Lord Urougham. — It may startle tbe blind admirers of Ihis doubtless extraordinary man to be informed, that no man ever won such a splendid reputation with so few of the higher elements of an orator. He has neither inven- tion nor imagination, nor even rhetorical fancy ; and has not said or written a single expression indicative of depth of thought or intimate acquaintance with general principles; and yet he is without a livin. rival as a debater, and wields the influence of great menial power beyond any— with a long interval— man in either House of Parliament. Whence this influence, this admission of extraordinary mental power ? Here is the grand secret of his spell over the minds of his auditors— he invests truth and facts already known with a clearuess and urbanity and vividness which rivet the attention still more than novelty, and he rouses and commands their wills to action by forcing through opposition by the mere force of his own uncontroulable ardour of disposition. — Article on Speakers in Parliament.— New Monthly Magazine. Scotland begins already to make herself heard on behalf of Parliamentary Reform— Edinburgh, Forfar, Kirkaldy, Ayr, Kinghorn, Auchtcrmucthy, have all been signing requisitions, antl proposing resolutions, for an extension of the elective franchise.

A BOLD PEASANTRY.— Does any man tell me, that my full efforts can be of no service ; and that it does not belong to my humble station to meddle with the concerns of a nation ? 1 can tell him, that it is on such individuals as I, that a nation has to rest, both for the hand of support, and the eye of intelligence. The uninformed mob may swell a nation's bulk; and the titled, tinsel, courtly throng, may be its feathery ornament; but the number of those, who are elevated enough in life to reason and to reflect, yet low enough to keep clear of the venal contagion of a court— these are a nation's strength. — hums, the Ayrshire Ploughman. MR. ST. JOHN LONG.— In consequence of this individual not having surrendered to take his trial at the present Old Bailey Sessions, according to his promise, large placards were on Sunday, morning posted throughout all parts of the metropolis, giving a particular description of his person, and offeriog a reward of thirty guineas to any one who will take hint into custody and lodge him in any one of his Majesty's gaols. The placard alluded to also men- tions that any person, whether officer or not, may apprehend Mr. St. John Long, at any time or place. It is rumoured that he has left England for the Continent. The vtry unequal distribution of power in any country subverts liberty— it is in truth itself tyranny 011 one side and slavery on the olher. The very unequal t istribution of wealth is subversive of morals, at once, aud happiness. It divides society between lizy voluptuaries and lawless beggars. We do not say that this most dreadful of all condi- tions has yet visfted us, but we are on the way to it. Every class of small proprietors, w hether small gentlemen, small farmers, small manufacturers, small traders,— every such class, swallowed up in the monied interest, is a step in the downward road, a road in which we are descending wilh an accelerated velocity. Why, we ask, must it happen that when the influence of mouied capital is pre- dominant, the man of science, the man of letters, the ingenious inventor, the energetic conductor of works, the industrious labourer, all must sell them- selves, their talents, and their exertions lo the capitalist, that he, by all Ihe profit of their labours over a bare subsistence, may increase Ihe difference between them, i. e. aggravate their degradation? Why ? because the monied capitalist has the monopoly of all the profits of industry ; and why has he that monopoly ? because his competitor Credit— the nurse of commercial talent of every kind, the lavish benefactress of the poor— lias been driven out of the market under an ill name. Twelve years ago, the possession of talent of any sort, if accompanied by industry,- discretion, and integrity, gave a certain promise of independence, if not of affluence. Now such has beeu the success of in- genious men in the march- of- mind age, talent has become, or is becoming, the mere slave of wealth, labouring from sun to sun under the sad conviction, that " Sic vos non vobis" must be its fate; and clever writers think that they meet Ihe evil by glorifying tbe doctrines of political economy, which are the real curse, and by bawling at the aristocracy, who are only their fellow sufferers. Alas ! for the pride of human ingenuity ! VIRGINIA WATER.— The traveller turning tothe left 011 the Bagshot road, from Hounslow, at about two or three hundred yards beyond the twenty- mile stone, will find a small inn called the Wheat Sheaf. From the garden of this road- side inn, he can pass immediately into the grounds of Virginia Water, and which, prior to the accession of his present Majesty, were kept impenetrably closed against all but the King's immediate friends. Proceeding a few hundred yards, his attention is withdrawn from the beautiful scenery, to the cascade, the roar of which is heard before entering tbe grounds. This is a beautiful anil partly a natural waterfall, by which the lake called Virginia Water discharges itself, at a considerable distance antl through many streams into tbe Thames. In winter, and when the springs are high, the fall of water is very considerable, and the cascade is an object of great beauty. Virginia Water is an ir- regularly- shaped lake of about six miles in circum- ference, and in some parts of a depth more than sufficient to float tbe largest line of battle ship. Il is a natural basin, receiving very many streams, from the adjoining high lands. As the principal supply is by a cataract or strong water- fall at one arm of the lake called China Islaud, and as there is a constant and| powerful discharge of water hy the cascade we have before described, the lake is never staguant. It is a running stream, always fresh and pure, with its bright surface glowing with the sun, and the blue arch of heaven, and the lovely scenery of its wood- laud margins, and richly wooded slopes, reflected from its bosom with a surprising brilliancy. A purer stream can scarcely exist, for it is extremely deep- too deep for the bottom to be easily disturbed by storms; and the quick current of the springs, filtered through the surrounding gravel and sandy soil, almost prevents the water being even softened by the atmosphere, so that it is a lake of living waters uncon- taminatcd.— Court Jouonal.

It is also so formed, that it may be separated into two complete sheets, each having its own department of informa- tion. THE COUNTRY TI M ES is, therefore, capable of accommodating two readers at once, and, in fact, of answering the purpose of two Newspapers.
