TO ALL THE PltEPARATIONS IN THE WOULD, For the Cure of the Venereal Disease, the King's Evil, Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, and every Dis- order arising from Impurity of tbo Blood. T s MIE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout tbe Kingdom at Inrge, for the Cure of the above Disorders, and without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As a Purifier of the Blood they are unrivalled iu theij EflVcts. And their Efficacy has been attesteo in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury; thus establishing their Pie- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DKBIUTY, TURN OF LIFE, and any other Affliction of the Body arising from a changed or vitiated Sys'em, the PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS , may be relied upon for a certain and peedy Cure. N.

FOR COUGHS. PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. npHE Herb Coltsfoot has long been dis- JeL tingnished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary Complaints ; and this essence has, in ihe course Of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Conybs and all Disorders of the LnngS. It gently opens the Bieast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes fieqnent cough ing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels.— Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ujcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest.

To the Proprietors of Churclts Cough Drops. GENTLEMEN, P'lpO withhold from public knowledge a manifest fact of the ujilitv, and perfect core effected by your CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS upon me, would be the greatest ingratitude, as long as ii is an iuennibent duty of every man, to facilitate the comfort of his afflicted fellow. cieatures. In the year J797, I caught a most violent cold, which affected my lireast aud Lungs so mut'i, that I could scarcely speak to he understood, and remained so for the space of two months ; at the same time aceompaftied with a great discharge from my lungs, which continued with unabated force until the year 1809. — When, afler having recourse to almost every advice and to no purpose, being in conversation with a gentleman of the faculty, I told him 1 thought there was no perfect cure for an Asthma, to which he assented, by replying that he had one himself and his only relief. was by taking frequently some medi- cines to keep his lungs open About this time a neighbour came to see me, who said he had been equally as bad'as 1 wns ihen, and he first told me of CHURCH'S' COCOH DROPS, being tbe medicine that uiade him as lie w as. t- h. eji. in health, and perstiaded me to make trial of a sniaJj » . Bonle. — I sent for oue to Shrews- bury, to Mr. Wood, the Primer, at which time I had an incessant cough wilh little or 110 intermission, in- somuch, that I thought my lungs would be rent from my breast. In the morning at breakfast I look two teaspoonfuls of the Drops ill the Inst cup of tea ; and no more wonderful than true, I did not cough for the space of ten minutes after, which would have taken - place twenty or thirty times before that time.— Iu short, ii and a few bottles more perfectly cured ine then, and 1 have never been witliout it in my house for several years after, to use it upon anv occasion after catching cold.

The intelligence from the Fre. icli ' Capital, received by express at a Pate hoiir on Wednesday, is of great importance. The Monitevr officially announces that IV1. Lafayette has resigned the command of the Rational Guard of Fralice \ that his resignation has b< en accepted by ' the King \ and that Count Lolmu Has been appointed, in his roOtii, Corcimairder of the National Guard of Paris. The ftUrhiiruv ulso con- tains an address of Louis - Philip to the National Guard, in which the King expresses h, is regret at General. ' Lafayette's" resignation^- but wtat< s that he is Consoled- by being able to appoint Count Lobau in his stead. The papri* also publish a report to the King, dated December 2() tl « , and signed Count Montalivet, in which the latter informs his Majesty of the General's resignation, and states that ineffectual. ap- plications were made to induce him to alter his reso- lution, so that the country might ifot be deprived of his eminent services. Lafayette's motives for resigning were explained in the Chamber cf Deputies ou the- following day The office, he said, he'felt was incompatible with a. consti- tutional monarchy, and he had. long intended to resign at the earliest, favourable moment. The feeling ex-, pressed in the Chamber, it is thought, quickened his d< termination ; - and'that' the peace if the capital bting. no longer in « h: ngt r,' he was unwilling farther t<* giv. e'Ins'support to a ministry which delayed the ao< i> fiijdi. shnient of ineasures, in his opinion, necessary 10 tbe liberty and peace of Trance " My con- scientious love of public Order is - satisfied*" he says, hi allusion to the stop put to the tumults,. ". but J cannot say the same of my conscientious love oi liberty? 1 * The retirement of Lafajette has- been followed. bv that of M. Dupont ( tie' l. T'. ure), the Minister of Ju- tiee, the most popular of the ministers', ami of M. Odillon Darrot, who, tjnjugh. not a minister, held the important office tif Prefect of the department which includes Paris. Some other members of the same party have also retired,. As. these men will be . replaced by j>< rs « '; nsv tif. ai » opposite " description, it becomes a partial return of the cabinet to its state before . the last change, when the'party of M. Du pont being the strongest, the cabinet was modified i » y an expulsion oi'some of the ( lociritruiwx. The greater number of the men wl O' remain in power are liberals ; but il is alleged. that they are liberals of the Buonaparte school, who tlo not feel confidence in their own opinions, or attachment enough to popular principles, to press with sufficient vigour on the Chamber of Deputies the law> which, in the view of those who have" retired, the situation of France demands. ' A. Royal Ordinance, dated on Tuesday, announces the appointment of M. MeriMiow, Keeper of the $ eals and Minister of Justice, in the roomdf M . Dupont ; and a second appoints M . Bart he to be Minister of . Public Instruction in the room of M. JVlarilhon. M. Baude has succeeded M. liar rot as Fref. ct of the Seine. The intelligence from France, conveyed by the journals and private letters dated on Friday, Satur- day, and Sunday, tends to remove all present appre- hen>, ion as to the peace of Paris It is plain, however, that even among 1 hose who contributed to this result great dissatisfaction prevails at the constitution of the Chamber of Deputies, and the delays that have taken place in effecting the reforms Which the people expected. The Chamber of Deputies, it is con- tended, as at pre sent constituted, is the representative of too small a portion of the French population to command respect and obedience. The feeling- towards tiie Chamber of Deputit s has been shewn in the m^ st. remarkable manner by the strvdents of the 1 niversify of Paris and the Polytechnic School, who have refused contemptuously the. thanks tendered to them by the Chamber, lu any other than a state of agitation ' and change, or in any other country, the protest of an assemblage of a few hundred youths sea reefy escaped from the character of school'boys would be matter rather for ridicule than appre- hension, or even punishment; but in the present state of FranCe',, and particularly of Paris, it becomes an affair extremely difficult, to manage. The proceedings and explanations of the French ministry- in the Chambers on Wednesday, render it tolerably evident that nothing like a formidable conspiracy against the government exists in Paris. Jt is evident, however, that a strong republican feeling has been manifested by the Parisian populace, aud that among the deputies there are many persons wht) declare that the institution* of the new monarchy are not sufficiently republican iu principle. Thc ultra liberal journals also are labouring' hard to force the government into some demonstration in favour of Poland, a course which, however consonant with the w ishes of a large portion of the French-, nation, would in all probability lead to a general continental war. The private, accounts from Paris dated Thursday night, and only just received from thence, attach inuph more importance to the news of some attempts at revolution in the Papal States than the French journals, which merely give it in the shape of rumour. We are assured that the, French Government had official accounts to the effect stated, ami that a government perfectly distinct from that of the Pope was. likely to be formed. A* of Shropshire.

There are a suiHcieut number of Protestants in Ulster to save that Country from ruin. A desultory war is carrying on in Holland ; but we do not think that any thing material can result from these skirmishes, as the live great powers have de- termined that all Belgian affairs are to lie settled pacifically. The Dutch it would seem arc reconciled to the dissolution of Ihe union with the Netherlands, and » re comforting themselves wilh the prospect ot ruin Hint stares' their revolted brethren in the face. All the accounts from Flanders agree in this, that commerce and manufactures are destroyed, and that 1 ankrupti y and poverty overspread all the provinces Fifty years \ lill pot repair the ruin and misery conse- quent upon those glorious and renowned events of September, which have put the Netherlands into the hands of the Popish priests. Ti e German papers received this morning contain fie official order of the Emperor of Russia appointing . Marshal Dicbilch to the command of the armies now assembling against Poland, and declaring all the provinces in the hands of the Poles in a slate of in- surrection.

This Sessions commenced on Monday last — In con sequence of the unavoidable absence of tbe Chairman, Ihe Hon. Thomas Kenvoti, who was detained at Oswestry by his military duties, Thomas Pemberton, Esq. was again requested to resume the chair, with which request he kindly, complied.— We observed also the following Magistrates 011 thc Bench :— The Earl of Powis ( Lord Lieutenant), Lord Lyttelton, tbe Viscount Clive, the Hon Robert Henry Clivc, the Hon G F. Hamilton, Sir Rowland Hill, Bart. Sir Edward K Vitas ton, Bart. Sir Edward Smythe, Bart. Sir Robert Chambre Hill, Charles Walker, E » q. Thomas I-' yton Esq. William Charlton, Esq. P. B.

Charles Walcot, Rev William Hopkins, Rev. Charles Leictstcr, Rev G. A. Maddock, & c. The usual Proclamations having been read, the Chairman rose to address the Grand Jury ; aud in the course of his Charge he expressed his gratification at fhe general state of peace which existed throughout the county, with the exception of the vicinity of Oswestry ; and there, he was glad to say, the circum stances were of an isolated nature, arising out of local disputes as to the rate of wages, and altogetbe unccinnected with any system of general disturbance, such as it had been the misfortune of thc public to know had occurred iu other districts.— He adverted to the acts of incendiarism that bad occurred at and near Whitchurch, observing that , the alleged incendiary was a stranger; and to show how little sympathy such parties ought to meet with, ami how atrocious their system was, it should be especially noticed that here it was not the great proprietor nor the wealthy tenant that had suffered, but the property destroyed was that of a labouring poor man.— The Chairman then complimented the Magistracy on the means they had taken for preserving the peace by swearing in special constables: in one district alone 1500 had been enrolled : and as a constabulary force was now arranged throughout the whole county, he might venture to say tbe best provision had been made against any disturbance that might arise, hut of which he felt no apprehension, as those objectionable modes of paying tlie wages of labourers that prevailed in some counties, had not obtained any footing in tbis.— On one point, however, lie wished to make a few observations: several threatening letters had been sent to individuals in different parts of tbis county: he had good reason to believe that some of these were sent by way of joke, and where this was not the case he believed the threat was not used by persons that intended to tlo any more than this act of intimidation: he warned the writers, however, against the folly and Ihe wickedness of their acts; for should they be dis- covered, the punishment of their offence, lis awarded by the law, is transportation for life— a result that he thought tbe parties bad never contemplated. Counsel having been informed that the Bench were about to proceed1 with tbe appeals, the Gentlemen of the Bar came into Court, anil took their places : and Mr. Bather, as senior, addressetl tbe Chairman as follows:— « Mr Chairman,— Before we proceed tothe business of the day, I trust I may be permitted to occupy a very few moments of time of the Court in expressing tbe sentiments of ( lie Bar and my own upon a circum- stance with which we are now otHcially acquainted. Although we have the pleasure of seeing you pre- siding among us this day, we understand that circum- stance to be merely accidental, antl that we have been correctly informed through the public papers that you have resigned the chair— It is impossible, Sir, that the Bar can permit such an occurrence to pass by without expressing their feelings on the sub- ject, antl their sense of the uniform kindness antl amity of your conduct and demeanour to us all during tbe period in which yon have occupied Ihe honoura- ble station from which you are now retiring. Believe me, Sir, that many of ns feel for you the most sincere antl affectionate regard — all of us the most profound respect; we have understood, Sir, that a weakness of sight, which prevents you from faking notes with accuracy and ease to yourself, has been one motive for your resignation : we can only hope, that though you hate retired from the Chair, you will still bring to the aid of the Court and the guidance of the Bar that mental perspicacity and acumen in which we assuredly have perceived no diminution or abatement. 1 trust, Sir, in what 1 have presumed to say 011 the part of niv learned friends and myself, 1 may not be deemed to have inferred any thing like want of con- fidence in, or regttrd for, the Honourable Gentleman who has been appointed to succeed you : we feel the Mines* and great assistance tie bad at itll tmit stlum mir o* i o con perienced from the Gentlemen of the Bar; antl lie retired with Ihe most grateful feelings for that'kihtt- nt ss, aud, if he might be allowed to mention it, - with- out being deemed invidious, he most particularly and deeply felt the kindness of their leading members ; of whom, as tif all the Gentlemen, anil for their great as. istance, he should ever entertain the most grateful remembrance. William Alcnch, of Cotton, labourer, was then - put to thc bar; and articles of the peace were exhibited agaii • Ititn by Mr Tudtnan, farmer, of YockitisGate, near Whitchurch. It appeared that the prisoner had gone into oiie of Mr. Tndman's fields, where'his servants were ploughing with a Scotch plough and two liots- s. The prisoner said to the servants— " This is the way you take poor men's bread out of their iiioulhs." He followed tip this observation by saying he would make Mr. Tudman repent it the longest day he livetl. He also asked some questions as to the thrashing machine Used by Mr Prince, who was a neighbour to Mr. Tudman; and lie then said he - would make Mr. Tiidhian and Mr. Prince repent the1 course they were following. Cutler these circumstances, Mr. Tudman felt it his duty to call upon the, prisoner to enter into sureties to keep the peace- Air. William Evans, of Dudliston, and Mr. George Morgan, of Cotton Wood, bricklayer, offered them- s- lves as sureties for the prisoner — They were ac- cordingly bound in the sum of £ 30 each, and the prisoner himself in £ B0, for the prisoner'* future good behaviour, who at the same time received a suitable admonition from the < hairman. The prisoner, who seemed deeply affected at the situation in which his folly had placed him, saitl no swell words had ever before proceeded out of his mouth, and he would take care neier to utter any such threat again. An application was then made on behalf of the Whitchurch Division of the Hundred of Bradford, that Watch and Ward should be ordered throughout that^ Divisii n ; an order which, under the Contm'i. ion of Hie Peace, tbe Magistrates were empowered to make in Sessions. — The inhabitants had hitherto done tbis voluntarily; and the Bench immediately ordered the requisite steps to be taken for directing it to be done regularly under tiie Act, as well as for there- payment of £ 12 expended in purchasing staves for the special constables already sworn. l'lie Court Was occupied the remainder of the day in hearing an appeal made by thc parish of Wrock- wardine against a- n order for tlie removal ofa' pauper obtained by the parish of Lilleshall — Several sur- veyors were examined, with other witnesses, anil the appellant parish having proved a subsequent settle- ment in Daw ley, tbe order was reversed. ' On tbe Court assembling yesterday morning, Charles Walker, Esq took ihe chair: but tlie Him. Thomas Kenjon soon afterwards came into Court.^ The Grand Jury found a true bill against John Key,- for having refused, to be sworn H Special Constable, anil Mr. Bather applied for, a bench warrant for his apprehension. :: I11 Ihe appeal' of Upton Warrcii against Hales Owen, the order was reversed. In the appeal of Bilston against Aston Bo. tte. rell, the order was confirmed. In tbe appeal of Lilleshall against Wrockwardine, the order was quashed. The Chairman (. Vlr. Kenyon), previous to proceed- ing with the trials of the prisoners, took the ' oppor- tunity of directing Mr. Griffiths, the gaoler, to keep the three misguided men'committed for rioting at Chirk Bridge distinct from the other prisoners in thc gaol, antl also to allow them every indulgence con- sistent with the rules of the Prison. John Reran, aged 20, a labourer, was convicted of having, in tbe night of the 30th October, 1830, un- lawfully entered into- an enchwed wood, in the parish of Cleobury Mortimer, the property of William l- acon Cbilde, Es « j. with a loaded gun, for the purpose of destroying game, and of having violently assaulted Samuel Cox- ami William Freeman, servants to Mr. Childe.— The assault was clearly proved, and was at- tended wilh circumstances of great aggravation : the prisoner had a companion who made his escape, hut who pievtously exerted himself to prevent the prisoner tiring his loaded gun at the keepers, which he attempted to do.— The Chairman sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 7 years. James Jones, aged 19, a collier, for stealing three 5s. papers of copper money, tbe properly of James M'lvnight, of tbe parish of Daw ley, was sentenced to be imprisoned 2 months to hard labour. t'eter Piper anil Richard Cooper, for stealing a quantity of bacon out of the dwelling house of John Pritchard, at Hadley, were sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour.— Joseph Renneii, charged as an accomplice, was acquitted. Thomas Woodicorfh was convicted of obtaining hy false pretences, at Wem, a paper parcel, containing a quantity of needles, value £ 3. lis. the property uf John Woudyer.— T he case was very clearly proved ; although the prisoner, who was evidently well ac. quainted with the practice of the Court, would fain have persuaded the parties that it was" nl| aniistake.'' — He had endeavoured to break out of the lock- up house at Weni ; but that charge, he also said was " a mistake," alleging that one Jaik the Pavioui-," then under confinement, was thc person that did that piece of mischief.- Unfortunately tbe jury would nut credit bis assertions; and he was sentenced- to " he im- prisoned to hard labour for ti months'— Adjourned.

DIED. At Llannerchbrochwell Hall, Montgomeryshire, in his 51th year, Richard Lloyd, Esq.; for many years an active and conscientiousCoininissioner of His Majesty's Taxes. riHlr:. O11 the 23d ult. Lewis, second son of Mr. John Ed wards, of Glasrug, near Aberystwith, and only brother of the Rev. J. Mi Edwards, Vicar of Towyn, Merion- ethshire.— This respected young man met his death in the following melancholy and sudden manner:-— A few days before, the deceased had purchased a new; gun, which not answering his expectations, he scut for a mechanic living in the . neighbourhood to come and examine it; and as he was going to tire from the cart- honse at a target in the farm- yard, Edwards, who had withdrawn behind a pillar which formed part of the building, on hearing or seeing the flash 111 the pan, was in the act of coining round to ask what was the matter, when the contents of the gnu, which had hung fire, were discharged into his body on the left side of the ster nm. The effect was nearly instantaneously fatal; he had time only to desire the innocent author of his death to lay him gently on the ground ; and. ill the last struggle of expiring nature he clasped his - arms around his sister's neck, and with his lips quiverntg. in the agonies of death, pressed upou her cheek ait ever- lasting farewell ! The agony of his distractedparents may be more easily CO reived than described ; in all probability they will never quite recover the shock, for by his death they have lost not only a dutiful son, but the careful and industrious manager uf their extensive farm. On Monday, an inquest was lield 011 the body, before the Coroner of the district and a respectable Jury, who returned a verdict of " AccidentaljDeath." The deceased was in the 31st year of his age, and has left behind him a character for sobriety, cheerfulness of disposition, and integrity of principle, seldom found anil never excelled. On the 27th ult. at Forden, Montgomeryshire, aged 68, Mr. William Rowson, farmer. Last week a distribution of coal, given hy the Viscount Clive, was made to the poor in the neigh- bourhood of Powis Castle, when upwards of six hundred families were supplied, receiving different quantities according to their respective wants. We rejoice to state, as an example w- orthy of imitation, that the inhabitants of MACH^ NLIETH have raised a handsome subscription, fM><> deil by Colonel Edwards, for supplying the poor of that town and neighbourhood with fuel and clothes during this inclement season. ; a. During the past week some tumultuous indications took place in Montgomeryshire, arising out of the committal of six labouring men to prison for conduct not in unison with thc law.— A very'large body of working men from Newitown proceeded, to the re- sidence of the committing magistrate, and having ob- tained. from him an order for the liberation of the prisoners, tbe latter were fetched out of durance ; and the assembly returned to Newtown, and dispersed greatest reliance in his judgment aud attainments; without any further proceeding '-. resident Magistracy antl' of lire Coiliiantiders ol lb Ye. otnanry forces, directed by the l. nrd Lieliteiiant, r- tery precaution of having a large body of special Constable* sworn, and all llie resident military under ordi rs, litis been taken, we hope llitt- l the prr. eni excitement - w ill . peeitily soliside W ithout the CHIII- Htis. tiiri of tiny further act* that shall involve the mi. guided | mrtie> in the misfortune* uud liubilitie* tluil invariably attach to every breach of the law* uf the c- nuitry.

Lale on Sunday night, the 2< 3 li ull. Thomas Fi: zbngh, Esq, of I las Power, re- ci- ived by express a litter from John Wvuiie Kyiuu, E. q uf Lcrswimd, urging him to forward il with the olinosl dispatch to Sir Watkiti Williams Wynn, t'uliiiiel of ihe Denbighshire Yeomanry Cavalry, a* the turn- ml* would repair 10 Wrexham on tbe foibiw- iuu- dny. This letter wa* immediately forwarded- to Sir Waikin, who, without Ins* of tune, transmitted it - lo Captain Morris, w ith order* for ' assembling all the members of the Yeomanry Cavalry al Wrexham early on the fnllowing morning. Accordingly, about ten o'cli ck on Moudat, lite * treei* of Wrexham were p. muled wilh tbe Cavalry, where lliey remained in active - during lite day. Tnwauls the afternoon t messenger was sent off In Mr Wynne Et ton, of Lees, wood, to ascertain if 4* lite rioter*" intended tt) visit tVit- xlis 111, or mil ; and about five o'clock in llteer tng tie retil'llfit with tl teller trotti Haunrtleu, snlieit- . i. ig Sir Walkiti to tie there that night, w ith 111* troop* or early on Ihe following day. Between 7 nut! t o'chrt k 00 Tuesday iimming, his troops assembled it Wiexliain a* before, and proceeded to llawiirdeti ; but when they had advanced a few mile* on the road, they received information that the Ffiwd altsl Rryutbo collier* had joined, and were travelling in a body to Rhus l. lanerclirngng, wheie lliey intended to coalesce with the workmen there, and proceed tu Acrefair. On the receipt uf this news the cavalry turned to lite left noil bv cross. littles anil- bye- roads reached the hack u Rhus i. biherchi- itgog, where they fount! several bun died eullier* assembled, but who were peaceable and • lint indicating - the lens! symptom* nf disorder. Si Waikin enquired nf ibent what they wanted? they replied u employment aud au inert- use of wage's." They were recommended In dispeise qtuellv lo their home*, ns the cavalry could do no good for tbetll. The lili- ll either misunderstood this advice, or refused lo comply willi it, ami the riot act was then read by Mr. L'ovtl, of Wl ex burn Tbis was at Gutli r Hill. Tbe men stood in taute astonishment, seeming ly not under- standing' what was meant ; when Mr. Itubeils, 11 - le. pectuble coal- master, interfered and begged that the cavalry might retire, a* he had livid among- the mm and was certain they would not do any harm. He likewise addressed the crowd who were standing on the Innw nf Ihe bill, covered with clinkers ( the residuum of the iron ore). Tltey replied lliey did nut want the cavalry, and told Mr. Roberts to be off, as they had plenty of clinker* at hand, which they cuuld n* e if necessary, lie went away, and several clinker* were burled ibiw it the hill, as we uie informed by Women and boys, without doing the least injury to tiny one — Several uf the cavalry then euilentoorctl to charge the hill, which was found impracticable, nail three or four blank cartridges were fired over the peoples' head*, whibli Sir Walkiti reprobated in severe terms. Three niett were then captured, one of whom ( David Jones) w- ns itisiiinll. v mounted and strapped to a cavalry man, uccompiiiiii d by six others, and conveyed tu Wrexham prison This created tin I tile dilution anil alarm among the inhabitants, a* it win holiday time, antl a great number uf the country people had assembled to enjoy llieimtelvi* in the town The two other prisoners were conveyed lo a neigh, houring house, guarded by Mr. Johnstone, one of tbe I'Otip, who fastened the front door to render hi* charge moie secure, but omitted to barricade Ihe entrance al llie back. The colliers took advantage of this circum- stance, and rushed iu lo rescue their comrades, which lliev etfecled. Tbe colliers, determined In rescue llieir companion in Wtexbam gaul, and with that in. tentinn marched ia a great body towards tbe town. Hot before they reached it, Ihe magistrate* had liber- ated Ihe prisoner, nod he met the mob a* lie wa* travelling home. They received him with three cheer*, nod immediately dispersed, the Ilrymbo men passing through Wrexham 011 their way home. WenNnsiuv — The cavalry assembled again this day, ami proceeded to Aeretair, where ihe Itlio* collier* hail joined their fellow workmen and the iniiiei* in that neighbourhood. There were several hundred more assembled than on Ihe preceding dav, but they were principally miners. Rain aud snow were falling heavily, and the men were sitting- on a hmik of cinders nr clinker*.. Tliev shewed no incliit ntioii to riot or tumult, but the liot act was riad. Captain Morris, with the most laudable activity, endeavoured to learn what were their waul*, and lie rieteil a* interpreter between lliein and Sir Watkitl, Mr. Wood, principal agent to llie British Iron Work* Company, was present; and he bad, it appeared, become verv obnoxious lo the workmen, by cuttute untieing a Tommy Simp or Tinek Sliup belonging to ti e company.. ami kept by a man limned Chambers, at Aerefair. The colliers, in addition to their other complaints, were luuil iu com! e inn ing the Tummy system, which they sard reduced their wage* to a mere no'hing, as ii compelled ilit- tn to purchase inferior provisions at a very high price. Sir Waikin called Mr. Wood, and nsked him if lie could comply with the wishes of tbe men, and abolish ihe Toaiiny shop. Mr. Wood replied no, lie could not. At last it wa* agreed thai the cmil- imister* aud ollieis should meet 011 the following day at 10 o'clock, at the Wynnslay Arm*, bun, where Sir Wiilkiti would attend as mediator for the workmen, and the cavalry returned In ine. Tui'KsnAY.— Thi* morning a great number of col. lier* and miner* assembled at lliialiou, in order to attend the meeting, which il bail been understood Koulil be a public one. There wa* a heavy fill of • Iceland snow, but tbe conUnaster* were punctual to their- time, and wailed until 12 o'clock, expecting some gentlemen who had promised to he present, Mr l, ewi » , surgeon, of Wrexham, was requested to attend on behalf of Ihe men; but on applying at tbe W. vmislay Arm*, lie was told that the meeting wa* n private one, and that six men would be called into the room front among the collier* to beat- the decision of the masters. Afler Mr. Pickering, an extensive iron und e. ialmaster, had arrived, six men were sent for, und they were informed that ihe moslei* could tint accede to their wish.-*, and llley had better return home. The six deputies retired and ciiniuiunicateil tu • lie wnrkmen the ulliuiuliitn of the master*, which so enraged the mob, thai immediately they rushed into tbe Inn, with 11 determination of revenge. Mr Pickering, Mr T. Griffith, and Mr. Greenhow escaped ; Messrs. Parry uiiil . tones retreated to another room, where they had placed, fur protection, twenty picked men from ilieir own works. Bui Mr Woods, agent to the British Iron (.' naipnuy, had endeavoured to conceal himself behind u hayrick iu Ihe garden, where be was discovered und dragged otll with great violence. The limb commenced an aliack upon liiln, and we are sorry to say, he was most brutally abused, and sevetely kicked ; Mr. Lewis, Ihe surgeon, endeavoured 10 appease lite crowd and lake Mr" Woods away, but they maltreated nnd compelled him lo beat a hasty retreat to the Wyniutay Arms, where he obtained assistance from Mr. Wright, rnni Mr. John Roberts, aud succeeded ill getting Mr Woods into 11 cottage. Mr. Woods was taki n up * airs and dressed ill au old wuiiinu's cloak tint! limine1, " ud lowered out of a back window by a rope. 01 the top of 11 cow shed, from which he le his e cape to Wynnslay House, the seal nf Sir Walkili, anil Sir. E. Pickering, jun. likewise made off to the same place. The mob endeavoured 10 break into the cottage, and when they bad discovered Hint Mr. Woods had got away, they became very violent, nnd would have wreaked their feeling* upon Mr. Green bow, but lltey could not find him No other outrage was attempted this day. lit ihe afternoon, Sir Wat. kin sent for six of tile colliers to Wynustay House, where were several of the masters. He begged the men 10 lay their com plaint* before him, and he would do his utmost in llieir behalf. The poor fellow* made a full disehisuie ; they required 3 » . per day for full and able- bodied men '; 2s. 9d. lor the next ; nnd 2s. 61I for Ihe third class. They likewise presented to Sir Waikin the following statement, which we II 11 e lieeil assured is correct, nod excited 110 liltle surprise We give the statement verbatim el literatim : — GnNTtR'Metf,— We will hereunder endeavour to state before you the principle difficulties that prevents the iuliabituuts of this purist* lo make a tivelyhood. First,—- The proprietor* keeps up tho royalty » t tUu same pitch, or rates, as when tbe produce was takeing three times tbe pres lit pi ices. Secondly; .-' t he eoal master* contracts with us to rise the coal for liindistle at a tolerable good price ( say) 3*. Od. per course of 24 ca t.

To prevent tbis the proprttttors. sltould appoint a studv person in every neighbour- hood to tuke a dliyly account ot' the sale, and by so toting they will find the benefit shortly. Thirdly,— 1The cottages in which we dwell are tbe same rent now as when we ivare getting gisal wage*; we pay io tbis farisli I'r un Is. 3d. to Is, lid. per week for two rooms, without 1 lie yard of land with it.

First,— Our lequest 3s. per dav which you rtlay Consider to be eighteen shilling per week but the difficulty* which arise* tu prevent our progress are 1st, failure of air which is an enemy that shortens our lives and has taken many of our fathers to the grave. 2d, machinery braking. 3rd, an acci- dent ill the work such as a fall upon'tbe waggon reads which we a « e ableiged to Contend' without any allowance from our masters — 4th, the weather. 5th, waggon ropes, pytchers, lie. brakeing.

Mr. Pickering then dieiv up a paper embndying the meaning and wishes of the men, which he signed and promised to obey zomlilioiialty,— - viz. " it all ihe other blaster* would do Ihe same." The deputies departed highly de- lighted with their success. FKIOAV — This meriting it was ascertained that JVlr. Woods, agent to the British Iron Works, and bis family had left Wale*, mid that the Tommy shop had n shut up. The paper signed yesterday by Mr. kerilig, wns forwarded to Mr. Greeuhow, of Wrexham, by one nf his own reeves for sigiialoie. The Ithns colliers followed ihe reeve within a short distniice of the town, where they waited for a leply ; which was given in their favour. Captain Morris returned the paper to tlienl, signed by Mr. Greeullow nnd Mr. Briscoe, nod so grateful did the men appeai- tnw- ards Captain Morris fur bis active exertion* iu their behalf, that they insisted oil carryitig ' him in triumph round the lflnn. an their shoulders. The work- men proceeded lo Mr. Parry, of Garlhen, whu declined lo sanction Ihe document wilh hi* name But we have since heard that Mr. James Kyrke und others have aliuclied their signatures lo il.

Whiteacre, of Woodhouse, near Huddemfield, with the valuable machinery they contained, have been destroyed by fire; aud it ia feared that the act i » to be attributed to an incendiary. WHITCHURCH INCENDIARY. We now come to what more immediately concerns our own county. It was very evident that the parties having so far succeeded, were not likely to slop Without ejtleildi: tyf, if possible, their regulations to the adjacent collieries situated on the confine* of Shrup- * bire. Accordingly, some of the proprietors resident iu Oswestry n- nd the neighbourhood, received nil intimation lliat il was the iiilentinu tif the Denbigh- shire colliers tie proceed to the Chirk Bank, Llwyuy- maen, and oilier collieries, to compel the men to leave work nnlir tlieir wage* were ad- vuiicetl. A commtliii- ealinn having been made In the Honourable Thomas Keoyon, Chairman of the Quarter Sessinns for this County, he on Thursday uight, wrote to Sir Rowland Hill, the Colonel of tbe ftoith Shropshire Regiment of Yeomanry, tint] made the requisite arrangements for the supply of his own place tit the Sessions, should circumstances compel his presence on this most urgent occasion in Iris own immediate vicinity. Sir Row land Hill, Willi great promptitude, proceeded on Thursday niglit to give orders for the assembling of three troops of his regiment, which proceeded with the least possible delay lo Oswestry, Sir Rowland himself going to tlie ( evidence of Mr, Keuyon, nl lyniiloe, early on Friday morning the remaining three troops of Sir Rowland's regiment also received orders lo bold themselves in leudi- ness lo move nt u inoinen't's notice : uud iiiformntiou was sent to Sir W. W. Wy Hn oPlhe course that had been taken. On Satniday morning, u deputation of the Denbigh- shire Collier* waited upon Mr. Pritchard, at The Gledt'id, St. Martins, iu this county, and requested him to agree lo the advance of wages that had been consented to by Ihe other proprietors : iu the mean time, a large body of colliers hud proceeded to Mr. Pritcliard's works, nud snipped the men iu his em ploy incut from proceeding, nnd swore them not to work again unless at an advance. Mr. Pritcliard having consented lo advance the wages of the persons employed by him al the Chirk Bank Colliery, the parties retired. On Friday and Saturday, Mr. Kenyon, with Sir Rowland Hill, and the other Magistrates of the neigh- bourhood, proceeded to enrol the Pensioners, Special Cousttibles, See. at Oswestry, aud lo arrange the mode ill which they might act as circumstances should require. t) n Sunday, the Magistrates of the Oswestry District again met to receive information, and to decide on the best means of preserving Ihe pence of the county of Sulup; aud learning that there was tut intention among the colliers to pruceetl on Monday morning through Oswestry to the Llwynymaen Works, to swear the colliers there ( as those in the Denbighshire mines bail been) lo a particular rate of wage*, they deter- mined lo meet litem, and met them accordingly, ut the extremity nf the eountv, supported by three troops of the North Shropshire Yeomanry, who mustered on Ihe occasion in full strength, and with the utmost speed : these were placed in such u situation us llint tliev could act if requisite, bill were out of sight : nod n strung force of special constables was added, in. eluding several gentlemen of high respectability in thai part of the cuutiiy w bo were not in the Commission of the Peace; and these were supported by the re- cruiting party of Artillery, under Lieut. Thorndike; anil the pensioners. A considerable time was spent at the Bridge in parley with the colliers, who assembled to the number of about 200, and a clear explanation was made by the Magis- trates that they merely came forward to preserve the peace of the county, not wishing in any way to inter- fere between masters and men, but that they acted from a conscientious determination to prevent tumultuous proceedings. After some of the colliers had been persuaded to retire with Mr. Myddelton Biddulph to Chirk, for the purpose of drawing up an humble request to Messrs. Croxon a d Co. proprietors of the Shrop- shire ( Llwynymaen) collieries to advance the wages of their workmen, a large number still persisted in remain- ing congregated at the Bridge; on which, after being again cautioned by Mr. Kenyon, he read the Proclama- tion under the Riot Act, and told them that in an hour he should proceed to disperse by force or take prisoners any that remained. The hour having elapsed, during yvhich several gentlemen urged the prudence of compli- ance, Mr. Kenyon and the other Magistrates thought it necessary to act, and Mr. Kenyon seized onp prisoner and committed him to the custody of Farlow, one of the Shrewsbury police officers: Mr. Ornisby Gore then seized another; and subsequently Mr. Kenyon a third. These three persons were sent off to Oswestry in custody of Farlow; but we regret to say that an ind vidua! named Sampson Jones, who was particularly distinguished as a leader and administrator of the oaths, effected his escape by swimming through the river, although closely pursued. - On the return of tile magis- trates to Oswestry, Dr. Donne took the depositions against the three persons before- mentioned, and they have been committed to our County Gaol for trial at the Assizes. Great credit is due to the Yeomanry for their promptitude, though fortunately they were not re- quired lo act, a* ulso to nil parlies engaged in Ihi* Service ; and it would be unpardonable weie we nut to mention the readiness with which all tbe respect ability of the town and ueighhuurhood of Oswestiy volunteered to net as special cnnstnbles. The Magistrate* subsequently permitted two men deputed from the body of colliers lo get u letter written bv tbe Curate of the parish to Ihe coal- masters at Oswestry; and the Curate with these two men proceeded to llieir residence; ami the men nfteiwnrd* declared that they were perfectly satisfied with the term* ufiered. We are sorry that it is our duty to remark, that most nf the tumultuous colliers appeared lo he armed wilh bludgeons and olher more dangerous weapons; nut! that the Hon. Thntnas Kenyou received a blow on the face, and was pulled off his horse, while endeavouring to enforce the provisions of the law. Committed fo our County Gaol, John Dnmoirr aged 28, a traveller, for having, oil the 14th Decem- ber, 1830, at Whitchurch, wilfully set fire to a stack of hay, the property of William Heath ; and also for having, on the 15lh December, 1830, set fire to a stable, the property of Rolx- rt Harper. The cir cumstances which led to his apprehension arc vcrv singular, and were as follows:— On Saturday week, i man pretending to be deaf and dumb, with a label on his breast describing his misfortunes, called at the house of Mr. William Shaylcr, constable cf Sliidlev, Warwickshire, making nmte signs for relief. The constable, suspecting him, spoke to him; suddenly-,, and discovered that he heard very well. He innnc- diately took him before a Magistrate, who sentenced him to a month's imprisonment as a vagrant. Before his committal to gaol he said to the constable, « If you knew all, you could only give me seven year** transportation ;" and shortly afterwards lie ex- claimed, " Do you think they'll bang me?" " Hang you, for what ?" said the constable ; " you are onlv committed as a vagrant." " Oh! that is not all," said the prisoner, " 1 have set fire to fourteen stacks, all over the country, and the last I fired was at Whit- church, in Shropshire" He then told llie constable that he had set fire to various farm- yards in Essex,, Sussex, and Cambridge, and that he was lured to do it by a person named Curtis, who gave him some- times five and sometimes ten shillings for his trouble. He then gave a history of the fires at Whitchurch as. follows:—" When Curtis and I came to Whitchurch, we went to Heath's hovel, and there we struck a light; wc made a hole in the stack with our elbows, anil put some rags and paper into it; we then set fire to a bundle of matches, and ran away. We went to the Swan Inn, Whitchurch, where we also struck a light in the stable, and set fire to the straw. We immediately started for Shrewsbury, at w hich town I sold my clothes to a broker for ios. antl hoped to escape discovery by so doing, being afraid thai I was pursued." He gave the constable in Warwickshire, a description of Heath's barn and ricks ; named the colour of one of the cows which perished in the flames, and mentioned other circumstances, which were found to be quite correct, when investigated by tbe Magistrates. His companion has escaped, but we hope the vigilance of the police will soon place hint also in thc hands of justice. He is 40 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches high, dark complexion, rather light hair, and sandy whiskers; and had on, when lie left Whitchurch after the fire, a white hat, dark coat, and blue trowsers.

The London and Birmingham Railway Company have increased their capital from two millions to three millions, wisely resolving to construct the road on the best possible plan that can be devised. They intend forming a quadruple line of road all the way ; and it is understood that it ia in contemplation to light the road in w inter with ga « , as coals can be procured along thc line in various parts, on verv reasonable terms ; the coke produced will be of importance to the company in supplying their own engines. The Liverpool and Birmingham Railway- Company it is said will pursue the same plan on their line. Both companies expcct to obtain Acts of Parliament in their favour this . Session. The receipt* of tbe first nine weeks of the railway between Liver- pool and Manchester, for passengers .-. lone, exceeded £ 18,000 sterling! An order in council appears in Tuesday's Gazette, calling upon the Lords Lieutenant of counties to hold subdivision meetings for the purpose of prepar- ing- lists and filling up the vacancies ( which have occurretl in consequence of the suspension of tho ballot), within fourteen days in England and twenty- one days in Scotland. Tbis may be deemed necessary as a precautionary measure, hut it must not be considered as a decisive preliminary arrangement fur calling out the militia for active service. IRELAND.— On Saturday, a Proclamation w. n issued by the Marquis of Anglesey, forbidding one of those popular demonstrations by which Mr. O'Con- nell hopes to bring about a Dissolution of the Union. Mr. O'Connell followed up the promulgation of this state paper by the publication of his ordinance, avowedly designed to prevent the pacific admonition of the Lord Lieutenant from serving as a signal for war. This is thc third or fourth instance of such anomalous interchanges of manifestoes lielwecn the de jure and the de facto government of Ireland ; and we cannot shut our eyes to the fact so worthy of consideration, that each exchange has left the advantage on the stile of the usurper— We wait the issue of this state of affairs.— If things are permitted to proceed in this way for a short time, a stale of rebellion must inevitably follow. The march of " liberal" ideas will be found to bave involved this country in troubles of the must alarming character, and in expenses that will mock every idea of effect- ing any reduction of the public burdens even after tbe most rigorous system of retrenchment Tbe Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, are taking measures with a view to counteract the influence of those blasphemous and seditious publica- tions which have lately become extremely prevalent. At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Wolverhampton and neighbour- hood held on Tuesday, at the Assembly Roouis, the Hon anil Rev. H. E. Bridginan in the chair, it was resolved to re- establish an Auxiliary to the Briluh and Forcigu Bible Socicty. '." ssr^ tes rjeaawiacur wpaes & AJLOPIA&- . JO& BNAJU . AMP COUMER OF WAJLEB.

" The RECTORY of VALEHUAO has been happily arttl iistly described as a page taken from the. Book, of Life; a diary-, as it were, of the feelings, hopos, and sorrows of a family ; it comes home to all either in. sympathy or example. IT is a beautiful picture of a. religions household influencing to excellence all. within its sphere." And so it truly is r it is the record of a series of events in which the exercise of. the divine im- pulse of charity is illustrated by tile blessedness which it diffuses, and'inculcated by - every trait and . every incident by which that benignant influence is exempli- fied. It is a mirror in which 01< 1 Age may contemplate, with meek submission and reverend thankfulness, the traces wherewith Time has marked liis ( light of mtny vears of mingled bitterness and blessing; in which Manhood may behold, as in its own embodied visage, the fulness and the vigour of its prime ; and in which both Age and Manhood may see reflected^ as if by magic, the animated features of Boyhood, and the gradual developement of youthful power and >" lusti- liood." Such is the work which, in gratiVwlA, for tbe delight il lias afforded us, we now most earnestly re- commend to the perusal alike of the young and of the old.

The solemnity c » f his l. ordship- s address deeply aff « < Mc< f everyone iivconft; ami altogether, a fnoi'e dreadful sight was never witnessed ; for it must be remcmbere « t that the prisoners tih d during this commission haVe' not been persons usually tnet with at tiie a> sizcs—? hardened thieves but men who had been deluded into the commission of these outrages, and who bail before, most of them, been men of good character ami re* pecfahl<> in their class of life.

His Lord^' ship added, that it v^ as his' firm opinion, wf! h respect to ninny of the rioters, that they were acting unrieV de'usion; and he could not avoid stating publicly,' that since the opening of the commission the court found biit very fe\ V instances where hardships—- where- extreme d ist ress — vv he re pi n'c h in g" VV a n t and 111H pinching spirit of necessity, had instigated'any of the1 parties to the committal, of these breaches of the lawV In conclusion, the Learned Judge observed, that iri apportioning the punishment of these whose 1 iverf were thus saved by the merciful feeling extended' towards them— and the Court would consider of the? mitigating circumstanced of some of them— yet mosg of the prisoners mast leave their country never agaiii to return. Sentence of transportation fot seven years was then passed upon twenty- fovr prisoners convicted of1 destroying machinery ; three were sentenced to im- prisonment and hard labour for 18 months, and six to 1* 2 months' imprisonment.— Eleven other prisoners pleaded " guilty" to charges of rioting?, and were bound to appear when called upon, with an infimatiori that if they conducted themselves peaceably anif orderly they would not be molested, but if tbey joined a riotous assemblage they would be called up> to receive judgment, and would be liable to the same punishment that some of their unfortunate and more desperate associates had to undergo. tn the course of the day on S'atUidriy, a bill was found against severat respectable farmers at iNorthf St. oneham, fo* refusing to be sworn in as special con- stables during trie late riots. The parties traversed the indictments till the next assizes, having entered into the usual recognizance for that purpose. READING, DEC. 27.— The proceedings under the • Special Commission" issued for the county of Berk* commenced this day at Reading, before Sir J. A Park* Sir W. Bo II a ml, and Sir J. Patteson. After the Grand Jury were sworn, Mr. Justice Park proceeded Uf j address them on the state of the country? and ex- pressed his regrei at the necessity vfchieb compelled the government, at this unusual period of the year, t<* issue a special commission to endeavour t « y stem tin? torrent of outrage, violence, and rapine which l » ad been so daringly committed in that and many olhef counties of the realm. Ry these tumultuous acts, continued the Learned Judge, the tranquillity of the peaceable and indus- trious had been tearfully disturbed ; but he trusted that the Commission would produce the effect of assuring the quiet and well- disposed inhabitants of the country, that however difficult it might be to stop the beginnings of evil, the law does not slumber, bufc is ever ready to stretch forth its protecting arm. His Lordship then proceeded to lay down the law as affected the prisoners who crowded the county gaol. He admitted that great sufferings, privations, and much distress had prevailed for soiue time past among the labouring classes of society ; whether they have been in any degree exaggerated by the lawless and profligate, who, by seditious writings, wished, by exciting" such feelings, to bring about a revolution, and to overturn all law arid government, and to root out religion from the minds of men, it was not his province iu that place to inquire— although it wa* known that seditious and inflammatory speeches had been addressed to crowds of the lowest order, and that writings of the same inflammatory nature had been circulated with a degree of zeal that would have done honour to a better catise. Neither will I now detain you, continued the Learned Judge, " by enter- ing into a discussion of the supposed causcs of those distresses. My only anxiety is to enforce upon the minds of men what ought to be very palpable to all — namely, that the course piusued by these unhappy persons tends fo increase, not diminish— the evil. Destruction of property, and particularly of corn and other grain, must lead to the most disastrous con- sequences. The very means of subsistence are thus, destroyed, and the ability of those who are ever ready to listen to the cries of the poor and needy, to relieve distress, is cutoff or diminished by the de- struction of that property which furnished a supply to their benevolence. It is an impudent aud base slander— thrown out by the propagators of doctrines of the most dangerous nature to the constitution both in church and state, for the disgraceful purpose of deluding the ignorant, and drawing them into the vortex of their own iniquity — that the upper ranks of society care little for the wants and privations of the poor. I deny this positively, on a very extensive means of knowledge upon subjects of this nature. But every man can deny it who looks about him and sees the vast institutions in every part of the kingdom for the relief of the young and the old, the deaf, tho tame, the bi nd, the widow, the orphan, and indeed every child of wretchedness and woe. There is not a. calamity or distress incident to human nature, either of body or of mind, that is not humbly endeavoured to be mitigated or relieved by the powerful and the affluent, either of high or middling rank, in this our happy land, which, for its benevolence, charity, and boundless humanity, has been the admiration of the world. " I trust that our meeting here will have this good effect— that it will instruct not only those who have been concerned, either as principal offenders, or a* lukewarm, timid, and indifferent,, if not. more guilty spectators, during these riotous proceedings, or who may be present at. the solemnity, or who may read of what has passed to- day, this useful lesson— that what- ever may be the power or strength of a riotous multitude, armed with offensive weapons, carrying* rapine and plunder of every description through the land ; and however such tumults may prevail for a time, the law of the land will, it is to be hoped, be too strong for those who thus set themselves up in mad defiance to it, and they will at last he reduced to a submission to its powers, or to the mercy of the Sovereign" In conclusion the Learned Judge ad- dressed a few remarks to the Grand Jury personally, who stKin afterwards retired lo consider the bilU before them. The calendar contained the names of 138 prisoners, tbe majority of whom were charged with riotously assembling and destroying thrashing machines and other property. The trials commenced on the fol- lowing morning. The Grand Jurv, having got. thro* all the bills, were on Friday dismissed bv Mr Jnstic. Park, subject however to the call of Ihe CommtH sioners until the 1st of February, should any nice* sity unfortunately exist for a renewal, of their * er_ vises. Sentence has not been passed upon the prison ers convicted. The Special Commissions have been opened nt Salisbury and at Kingston, and at each place a great number of convictions have already taken pluee. It is s; id that the Local Courts Bill of LorJ Brougham is for the prc* snt withdrawn. \ SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AM © COURIER OF WALES, FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

For the Salopian Journal. newspaper, who had stated that Mr. Littleton's Bi I ; for paying wages in money 44 would infallibly lower instead of raise them,"— 44 that there will be less real means of employment, for labourers than before"— 44 that money is a portion of the natidfidl wealth which - costsmuch, but produces nothing. It administers to no man's wants. No" labourer can subsist ( ipon it, or use it as fools or materials for production., Whatever, therefore, enables the busi- ness of ihe country to he done with less uioney, in- creases its productive resources. Hy being enabled to dispense with the use of money, the employers of labour are enabled to render the tchole of their cap iat available for production—- io hire produc- tive labourers to tiie full amount of their means;— but if this bill passes, they will be obliged to with- draw a part of their capital from productive em ployment, turn off part of their labourers; and what would have been paid to their'labourers; if allowed to be paid in tiie form of goods, they will be obliged to export for the purpose of merely pro. . curing a circulating mecfitirri, wherewith to pay the \ f ages of the remainder of their labourers." The Editor of the Standard, thus refutes tlie opinion- of this celebrated political economist; and advocates the principles we have always asserted:— 4< It is impossible to contemplate the concurrent operation of Sir Robert Peel's bill with the growing distress of the country, aud not to connect them. Here we have them connected by a disciple of that school in which Sir Robert formed his pernicious creed, and the vinculum stated with a degree of clearness that must render doubt impossible. The disproportion between tlie capital of the country, its commercial transactions, its debts and credits, and that metallic medium which now constitutes our only currency is so great, that men cannot, says the Examiner, afford to employ money in the details of the manufacturing business, they must come to barter ; and this, notwithstanding that another operation of ihe same infliction has greatly reduced the amount of capital employed in manu- factures. But it is the natural tendency of capital to increase itself; arid in a state of affairs like the present, it is the no less natural tendency of metallic money to become less and less abundant. What follows? That the system of barter— in other wordsj- the system of slavery, must extend, until it relieves itself by a " jacquerie:'* orthe'amonnt of our manufactures must come down to the level of the relatively diminished currency ; and it is doubt- ful whether this branch of the alternative will lead to a more peaceful arrangement." 44There is no use in shutting one's eyes upon the truth: to one or other of these results the course that we are pursuing necesSarify leads* There is, indeed, a remedy, an easy, an obvious, aud a well tried remedy : it is to return to a system of paper currency, divested of those evils which alloyed the jieuefits of the paper currency, previous to 1819— none of which evils is in the least essential to the general principle— though, seeing- how much more mischief the wasting- system of restriction has effected than could be inflicted by fifty panic confess that we would freely change, from ou present currency to that of 1819, with all its hazards. If we are told that a restricted currency is necessary to avoid some danger, fet us be apprised of what we cannot yet conceive, some danger greater than that which itself creates— something that will bring the commerce of the country to footing below 44 barter.'* But, as we have said, th evils that were felt, or rather apprehended from paper currency before 1819, are not essential sirch a currency; this indeed way Confessed by one ofthe principal movers of the change in 1819— one of tjie. chief aposjlcs of political economy— Mr. Ricardo, ( Jt has been. again and again demonstratively proved by Mr. Attwood, who, we trust, will not be wearied iii his determination to keep the subject befor Parliament. * SPADE CI LTtVATlON. Mr. Abraham Davies, of Edstastou Park, having taken a large farm near to the town of Wem, has bfeii enabled, \ Vith the kioif consent of his landlord, YViliiani Cooke, Esq of Kensington, Liverpool, to let one field of about seventeen acres iu allotments of half an acre eacli, for the term of his lease, to his industrious and poor neighbours, to cultivate with the spade, at the same rent he pays for it, and waiting- on the Rev. E T. Steward, the Hector of Wem, he very handsomely and willingly made such an arrangement with Mr. Davies as will enable him to let it tithe- free. Mr. John Kynaston has also offered lo measure and allot out the same free of any charge; and it is calculated that each half acre, under good management, will produce, on an average, from fifty to sixty bushels of potatoes, aud from six to seven bushels of wheat. A plan so eal cufated to add to ihe comforts of the poor, so likely to lead them to habits of industry, and to encourage that manly and honourable feeling of independence that should be the duty as well as the pleasure of their more opulent neighbours to assist and cherish, cannot bf? too generally made known aud followed; and at the present time it is not, perhaps, too much to say to all large farmers, 44 Go thou and do like- wise." The late French Revolution. [ The following Article, extracted from Blackwood's Magazine, is peculiarly interesting to the British Public at the present time, when the disturbances among the peasantry in some of tile colinties of EilghDiid are taken advanta. ee of by evil- designing men, to disseminate revolutionary principles in this free and hitherto happy country.} ESCAPE FROM PRISON AT CALAIS. An escape from prison took place at Calais a few days ago, which, from the originality of the scheme, and the cool and deliberate manner in which it was executed,- ha- s perfectly astonished the natives, ac- customed even as they are to the tricks of our ingenious countrymen. The parties were a Mr. 0. and Mrs. T. ( both from England); the gentleman had been incarcer- ated some time, the lady a few mouths only. About a week since, Mr. H. gave it out that it was his birth- day, to commemorate which the gaoler and liis wife were invited, after all was locked up for the night ( that is, the outer doors); to partake of a bowl of punch - A la mode Angtaise. The invitation was accepted; the punch, it appears, was strongly impregnated with laudanum, which had no sooner taken effect upon the guests, than he very quietly, accompanied by Mrs. T. after taking the keys from the gaoler's girdle, proceeded to pack up and remove all their luggage to the outer door— even the lady's birds and a cat were not forgot; he then returned to his room, wrote upon a card, which was placed under the gaobr's nose, 44 Adieu, mon ami, an revoir;" they then not only let themselves out,. but locked the doors after them, and threw the keys over the ramparts This was about eleven o'clock at night, the time the Paris coaches gene- rally arrive-— consequently nothing could be more apropos for their going to an hotel as passengers just arrived, which they did, ordered beds, and a coach for Belgium at six in the morning ( the gates ure not opened sooner); and away they went very comfortably, aud arrived safe, for nothing was known until late the next day. The gaol is in an out- of- the- way place, therefore it is not unlikely that the gaoler might have been watching' for hours for a person passing' to explain his situation. It was ho sooncT known than the town was in a com- plete uproar ; the police and the National Guards a cheval were sent off in every direction ; but the former being on foot, and the steeds of the. latter being of t he same breed as Don Quixote's, long ere they reached the first village the fugitives had passed the frontier. THE CURRENCY. We have been at some pains to ascertain what were the precise expressions used by Lord Grey on the CURRENCY QUESTION, and we believe the fol- lowing- may be depended upon. His Lordship is reported to have said— That 44 he thought the country had suffered, most seriously suffered by the unfortunately mistaken views which had been taken of the Currency by former Administrations. He had stated iu his place in the House last year, that he thought it was a strange anomaly that there should exist a differ- ence with respect to the notes circulating in Eng- land, Ireland, and Scotland. He had thought that what was deemed to be, or found to be, beneficial in Ireland or Scotland, could not be injurious in England. He did not say that his opinions were now altered, but he knew that this was a subject of tfreat difficulty and. importance, and he did not think the agitation of it at the present moment would do any good, but that there would certainly be a risk in reviving the subject." Our readers know the importance we attach to this subject in relieving the general distress. We nre moM happy to see that the able Editor of the Standard has zealously engaged in it. In his leading article on Monday, there nre some com- ments upon a remark ofthe Editor of the Examiner THE HISTORY OF A FRENCH ARTISAN DURING THE LAST REVOLUTION. The narrator describes himself as a young man who was designed for the Church, and had conse- quently received a liberal education ; but happening to fall in love'with a beautiful- girl, he renounced his prospects in the Church by marrying her, and re- solved to seek the means of subsistence by his liteiary talents With this view lie proceeded to Paris, and after experiencing some difficulties became a compositor in the office of Le Glebe newspaper, where politics were freely discussed among-' the men. At length the commotions began— the attack ou the liberty of the press threw the men out of employ, and almost against his will he was drawn into the vortex of an excited mob, where his enthusiasm was so conspicuous that he was exalted into the character of a leader. Beginning to be alarmed at his own exploits, and appalled by the dreadful sights he had witnessed, lie hastens home. 44 Oh never did I feel the thought of returning to the secure arms of her I loved, so exquisite, as at that moment! and I flew up the stairs rather than ran. I opened the door and entered. Mariette was kneeling by the cradle of our child. She did not hear me come in. I pronounced her name. At first she made no" reply; but then turned round with a face that will haunt me to the grave, and pointed to the cradle, f sprang forward and looked. There were traces of blood and bloody bandages strewed about, arid round the poor infant's white and delicate shoulder were the compresses and dressings of a fresh wound. 44 Good God, Mariette,'" 1 exclaimed, " ho\ V is this? How ?' 1 " I heard firing in the streets," she answered, with an awful degree of calmness, 441 feared for my husband— ran out to see ; and not daring to leave it all alone, .1 took my child to death. I had scarcely gone a yard, when a shot struck it in my arms." 44 Through the whole of that dreadful night, Mariette and I sat by the cradle of our dying child— silent as the grave, with our eyes fixed upon its pale and ashy countenance, and hardly daring to. lift our looks towards each other. From time to time it gave a taint and torturing cry, but in general, seemed in a panting sort of sleep, till towards four in the. mornin: when the breathing stopped," and I know not what grey shadow fell over its calm sweet face. I did not think it was dead; but Mariette threw her arm** round my neck, and hid hereyes upon my- bosOm. 44 It was nearly mid day on the Wednesday, when one of my companions came to tell me that the man who, it was reported, had been seen with me the day before, had been killed by a shot oil the Boulevards, and I hastened after the messenger to ascertain the truth, for my brother had not yet reappeared. He led me to the door of the Exchange, over which the tri- coloured flag was now flying in triumph, but on each side of the gate was stretched a dead corpse, and the . first I saw was, indeed, my brother. Rage'and revenge took possession of my whole heart. I joined the brave men who were marching down to the Place de Greye ; and from that moment, I entered into every act of the revolution, with all the enthusiasm, the zeal, the fury of the rest. It is needless to detail every scene I witnessed, and every struggle in which I shared. Suffice it, 1 was in most of those that occurred— at tl. e taking and re- taking of the Hotel de Ville— at the storming of the Louvre, and at the capture of the Tuileries. The enthusiasm amongst us was immense and overpowering; and the modera- tion and heroism with which it was conducted, reconciled me fully to the revolution. From time to time I ran home to soothe and console my poor Mariette, and to snatch a mouthful of bread, for our purse was now so low that we did not dare to purchase any thing else. Mariette ate little while I was there, but she assured me that she had plenty, and that she generally took something while I was gone in the middle of the day. Grief and anxiety had worn her sadly; the lustre had quitted her eye, and the rose had left her cheek ; and she looked at me so sadly, so painfully, as I went away, that every time I determined it should be the last. At length the royal troops were beaten out of Paris, and the palace where monarchs had revelled fell into the hands of the people. A fe w of the National Guard and a few of the common people were selected, as to a post' of high honour, to guard the. Tuileries during the night* under the command of a student of the Polytechnic School. I was one of those fixed upon; and having sent, by a comrade, a message to Mariette, which he forgot to deliver, I remained for the night in those scenes of ancient splendour. There was something awfully melancholy in the solitary palace, and a feeling of compassion for the dethroned king grew oVer my heart as I sat in the midst of the magnificent. 1 hit lis that he might never sec again. A* soon as we were relieved the next morning, - I flew to Mariette. She had passed a night of the most dreadful anxiety, my comrade having, as I have said, never delivered my message. Her eye was hollow and her cheek was sunk, but all seemed forgotten when she beheld rfie safe ; and seeing me fatigued and faint, she made me eat some bread and drink a glass of water, almost weeping that she had hot something better to give me. 44 As the last bit touched my lip, a vague thought struck me that she had none herself, and I insisted on her telling me. She cast her arms roUnd me, and assured me with a smile, that it did her more good to see me eat than to take any thing herself ; but I at fength drew from her that all our money was expended, and that she had not tasted any tiling for ; vo days. 44 I thought I should have gone distracted ; and after remaining for a few minutes stupified as it were, ran to the printing- house to see if I could get work, id induce the overseer to advance me a single franc to buy some bivad for my poor Mariette. The office, however, was shut, up, and I knocked in vain for admittance. I then turned to the lodging of one of my fellow printers, who might lend me, I thought, veil a few sous. I hurried up the narrow dirty staircase where he lived, and went into his room ; but the sight I saw soon convinced me lie wanted assist- ance as much as I did. He was sitting at an un- covered table, with five children of different age', ivbout him. His cheek was wan and hollow ; and as I entered, he tixed his haggard eye upon the door, while a little girl kept pulling him importunately by the arm, crying. 44 Give me a piec^ e, papa — 1 will have a piece of bread." " Lend me a franc," cried he as soon as he saw trie ; 44 my children are starving — I will pay you when I get work." 1 I told him my own condition ; but he burst forth in the midst, as if seized with a. sudden frenzy, trembling with, passion, and Irs eye glaring like that of a wild beast. 44 You are one of the revolutionists too. God's curse and mine upon you! See what your revolutions have brought! Mv children are starving— every arfizan in Paris is beggared and unemployed. 1 am starving— my wife is dying for • want of medicines in that bed— ail these dear infants iire famished; and all by your cursed revolutions! Out of my sight! Begone! for fear I commit a murder." 44 With a heart nearly breaking T returned home, and folding my poor Mariette in my arms, I gave way to tears, such as had never stained my cheek before. She tried to soothe me— and smiled— and told " trie that really she was not hungry— that she did not think she could eat if she had any thing : but oh ! I could not deceive myself. I saw famine on her cheek, and heard faintness in her tone ; and after a long fit of thought, I determined to go to Monsieur V——, the great bookseller, who hail been so kind to me while a boy. I told Mariette my errand, and as Paris was now nearly as quiet as ever, she willingly let me go. - 44 It was a long way, and I had to cross the whole city, so that it was late when I arrived. Even then I found that Monsieur V- was out|; but the servant told me 1 could see him the following morning at nine. With this cold news 1 was forced to return ; and no one can conceive what a miserable night I spent, thinking that every hour was an Jifjur of starvation to the dear creature by my side. She lay very still, but she slept not at all, and I felt sure that the want of rest must wear her as much as hunger. When 1 rose, however, she seemed rather sleepy, and said she would remain in bed, and try for some repose, as she had not closed her eyes since Monday. It was too early to go to Monsieur V -, so I hurried first to the printing- office, for I hoped that the tran- quillity which was now returning, might, have caused Monsieur Manson to resume his usual business. I only found the porter," who told me that there was no chance of the house Opening again for weeks at least, if not months, and with a chilled heart, I pro- ceeded to tlie house of Monsieur V 14 Admission was instantly granted me, and T found the great bookseller fitting . at. a table with some written papers before him, on which he was gazing with an eye from which the spirit seemed withdrawn, to rest upon some deep absorbing contemplation within. He was much changed since I had seen him, and there were in his appearance those indescribable traces of wearing care, which often stamp, in legible characters, on the countenance, the misfortunes which man would fain hide from all the world. There was a certain negligence, too, in his dress, which struck me, but as he received me kindly, I told him all my sorrows, and all my wants. 44 As I spoke, his eyes fixed upon me with a look of painful and intense interest, and when I had done, he rose, closed the door, and took a turn or two'thought- fully in the room. 4 What has ruined you,' said he at length, pausing before me, and speaking abruptly, has ruined me. The revolution we have just past through has been great and glorious in its character, and all the world must look upon it with admiration ; but it has made you and me, with hundreds, nay thousands of others—"- beggars— aye, utter beggars. It is ever the case with, revolution. Confidence is at an end throughout the country, and commerce receives a blow that fakes her centuries to recover. The merchant becomes a bankrupt— the artizan starves. I have now seen two revolutions, one bloody and extravagant, the other" generous and moderate, and I do not believe that at. the end of either of them, there was one man in all France who could lay his hand upon his heart, and say that he was happier for their occurrence ; . while millions in want and poverty, and millions iu mourning and- tears, cursed the day that ever infected them with the spirit of change.-— To tell you all iu one word ; within an hour from this time I am a. bankrupt, and I am only one of the first out of thousands. Those thousands etiiploy - each thousands of workmen, and thus the breacj of millions is snatched from their mouths. I do not say that revolutions are always wrong ; but I do say that they always bring a load of. misery, especially to the laborious and working classes— and now leave me, good youth. There is a five- franc piece- for you-. It is all that I can give you, and that, in fact, 1 steal from my creditors. 1 pity you from my soul, and the more, perhaps, because I feel that i need pity myself.' " The live- franc piece he gave me, I took with gratitude and ecstasy. To me it was a fortune, for- it was enough to save my Mariette. I hastened home with steps of light, only pausing to buy a loaf and a bottle of wine. I ran up stairs— 1 opened the door. Mariette had not risen. She slept, I thought.— I ap proached quietly to the bed. All was still— too still A faintness came over my heart, and it was a moment or two before I could ascertain the cause of the breathless calm that hung over the chamber. I drew back the curtain, and the bright summer sunshine streamed in upon the cold — dead— marble cheek of all that to me had been beautiful and beloved.'" DESCRIPTION OF POLAND [ At the present crisis in Polish affairs, the following notices of the capital, See. of that country may be interesting to our readers. We extract it from a Tour in Prussia, Poland, ^ c. by R. Smith, Esq F. S A. of Liverpool.] Thorn, the capilal of Prussian Poland, on the Vistula, is a city of very ancient date, and has within its walls nearly 8,900 souls. It is not strongly forti- fied, but the old works are rendered as efficient as their nature admits : the remains may be still traced of a castle once belonging to the powerful order of Teutonic knights, who had a commander resident here. The Government House is a substantial brick edifice, recently repaired, and the rooms appropriated to the Prussian authorities presiding over this division of the kingdom are neatly arranged. The city has lofty storehouses on the high banks of the river for the reception of a considerable quantity or grain, which, on shipment, is poured down a sort of trough,; at a trifling. expense and with great despatch, into the small vessels lying at the quay. The value of land, as usual, varies; but, from the best information we could obtain, much, in recent sales, brought only a sum equal to about the rents paid in England. Many of the estates are more or less embarrassed, and interest is often one per cent, per month on money borrowed. ( i , From Thorn we crossed the Vistula* in a sail'boa't, the flouting bridge formerly thrown across this •' broad stream having been destroyed by the French army ; and, on landing at. the opposite shore, we entered Russian Poland. The country soon assumed a wild appearance : there were no weil- defined roads, no inclosures, and the traveller may pluck from his carriage the growing corn through which he has sometimes to force a passage. Occasionally we pene- trated thick forests of firs, sometime?, iudeedj inter- spersed with magnificent oaks, but where ho house nor human being was visible. Emerging from these woods, we bad not unfrequently beautiful and highly variegated scenery; and often the musical notes of the Polish horns would greet our ears. Our postil- lion^ dress was a long blue coat faced with red, leather breeches, and boots to cover the knees. He drove his four small but active horses - frith consider- able skill, guided by single reining, assisted, indeed, by the springing whip. The harness was almost entirely hempen, and when it gave way, which was often the case, we heard no complaint from our driver: lie whistled whilst he repaired the broken rope, and proceeded briskly until it again required reparation. He smoked incessantly, a custom which we afterwards found was indulged in by most of the lower orders. During the war with Great Britain, when the usual supplies by way of Danzig were cut off, the Poles succeeded in cultivating an inferior kind of tobacco, which they dried and manufactured themselves. It is still raised in some districts, but., when smoked, the smell is exceedingly disagreeable. The small towns* we passed through after leaving Thorn were excessively dirty, and many of their inmates bore the appearance of great misery and wretchedness; indeed, the loathsome condition of sourt1 of the labouring classes is, perhaps, scarcely to be equalled. Occasionally we met with Scotch names, probably descendants of the Scotch families who, as is well known, formerly emigrated to Danzig, and may, from time to time, have removed from thence further up the river. At Brzesc, a place of 1800 inhabitants, the Jews have an university. A broad and level road announced that we were now in the vicinity of the capital. On each side were posts, chequered with the national colours of red and white, and ornamented with the figure of a saint, which marked the distances, at short intervals, until we reached the gates, or rather barriers, for the city is not fortified. Here we were detained nearly an hour, whilst our passports and luggage were carefully examined by a military officer, who retained the former ( to be transmitted to the proper office), and sent with us a guard to remain at our lodging, until the " permission to sojourn" should arrive from the police. We took up our quarters at the Hotel de Wilna, in Tlomatsky Place, much in need of rest, having had no repose for the three previous nights. Early the next morn'ng we were agreeably sur prised by a visit from Captain H——, who, having learnt at the Police office that two Englishmen, had: arrived the last evening, came to pay his respects, the form of an introduction being dispensed with abroad, however particular our countrymen are at home Indeed, there is a chord in the British heart which, in foreign countries, vibrates at the very name of Englishman. Warsaw, it is scarcely necessary to observe, is situated on the southern side of the Vistula, w hich is very broad, and the current extremely powerful. A bridge of boats, lfiOO feet long, leads to Praga, f a fortified suburb on the northern bank of the river. The city appears to be composed of a mixture of some of the best and worst houses to be met with in Poland ; J and, though the churches, and many of the palaces and other public edifices, are splendid, the mean hovels near or adjoining them very much spoil the effect they would otherwise produce. The streets are for the most part wide and tolerably regular, but badly paved : they have lately been well lighted by lanterns, suspended on chains whieh are attached to posts on the parapets. The population is stated to be 90,000 ; and many of the commercial residents are Germans and native Jews. The churches are very numerous; in the whole, forty four, of which the greater part are Roman Catholic, the established religion of the country. There is one Protestant church near the Parade, singularly built: the interior, which is circular, has two galleries, and upon the pulpit, which is over the communion table, is placed the organ. With all this unique character, it yet retains a very solemn effect. From the steeple, mounted by two hundred steps, there is a beautiful panoramic view of the city. Being interspersed with numerous gardens, it forms a very interesting picture, to which the Vistula, flowing in, majestic grandeur, adds a powerful stimulus. The Castle, or Royal Palace, is a large, but; not handsome, structure, overhanging the river, and commanding an extensive prospect. In the interior, every thing remains nearly in the same state in Which it was left bv the last king of this ill- fated country. The Kni^ hTs Hall is vory elegant, and the ceiling lias a quotation from Virgil, jEn. lib. vi. on the cor- nice. The neat concert hall is of moderate size. In it and adjoining rooms we noticed several good paintings, some historical; as, Casimir III. proclaim- ing the constitution, 1347; founding the University of Cracoxv, 1400; submission of Prussia to Poland, 1525 ; the junction of Poland and Lithuania, 1569; reconciliation of the Poles and Turks in 1621 ; eighteen splendid views of the capital; large portraits of John III. Sobieski, and of Lord Bacon; portraits of the Polish sovereigns, complete from the first king Boleslaus, 1025, to Stanislaus Augustus, in 1771 ; also of our Charles I. and George III. I lie elegant little chapel is embellished with a beautiful painting nf the " crown of thorns," by Baccharelli. A small room is appropriated as a private chapel of the Archduke Constantine, and fitted up with the emblems appertaining to the service of Ihe Greek church. We saw the archduke, who is the eldest brother of the Emperor, daily on parade, being a very strict disciplinarian, and constant at the drill; he certainly appears to have brought the military, especially the cavalry, to great perfection in their manoeuvres. We were much struck with the dex- terity of their evolutions, particularly of the horse artillery, which were admirable. We had the pleasure of frequently meeting, at the ordinary. Colonel Schwerin, of the latter corps, in whose conversation were blended that information and amusement so frequently met with in well- educated military characters. He informed us that Constan- tine's private secretary, Colonel P. is an Englishman. Count Osolenski, whose gallery is in 7' lomatsky- place, has some valuable paintings— a Virgin and Child; by Corregio; Sl. Agatha, and Descent from the Cross, by Domenichino; Virgin, by Raphael; Virgin, bv Guido; Landscape, by Salvalor Kosa; Virgin, by Carlo Dolci; and several by Albani, Murillo, Tintoretti, Poussin, Titian, Rubens, and Gerard Dow. We experienced great politeness from M, Velani, who has the care of this fine collection. A day was fully occupied in visiting Ihe environs, which, on one side of the city, are provided by nature with every thing which can invite to retirement and repose from the fatigue of business or the gaiety of town life. Mockatow, an English mile distant, was the seat of Field Marshal l. ubomerski; it is beautifully situated, but fast going to decay. In the principal apartment, the light is partly excluded by a pamted screen, which causes a dimness, very suitable to Ihe calm sensations the little villa is fitted to excite. Cronekarnio, a little farther from town, is a Royal Palace, and once a delightful relreat of the sovereign. It is small, with extensive gardens. The floors of the rooms are exquisitely laid with oak, iu square panels, without any nails ; the furniture and all the ornaments exceedingly elegant and tasteful. Willanow, another royal residence about four English miles distant, is an irregular building, form- ing three sides of a quadrangle, the front ornamented with eighteen figures, and over each a bust. Above the principal entrance are the words tluod Venus urbs solvit Nur. c nova villa tenet. In Ihe various rooms are nearly 500 paintings, some by first- rate artists, and a splendid portrait of tiie late estimable and revered Prince Poniatowski, by David. The study of the late monarch has been left untouched hy the express orders of Alexander. The secretaire at which he last wrote, the royal seals ( from which we conhl not resist taking im- pressions), and the minutest trifle which he valued, are all preserved with the strictest care. It is impossible to view these interesting, though trifling, remains of a fallen monarch without commiserating the fate of the unfortunate Stanislaus. Indeed, tiiis spot, once the seat of wit and beauty, and now totally deserted, will force melancholy reflections on all who view it. Returning to the capital, we passed the very extensive and new barracks, with a hand- some stone portico, inscribed Rt- i militaris incremento. There is a French and a national theatre af Warsaw. The operas, especially the instrumental parts, are extremely well formed, indeed, llie Poles, even of the lowest grade, are passionately fond of mus'c; and it is not unusual to see poor creatures, half clothed, lying round the pot ( hanging on a simple triangle of three sticks) in which they cook their victuals in the fields, delighted by the sound of a violin, played by one of them in no mean 9tyle. The public carriages, called Droshkas, are very numerous and cheap, as they convey passenger.! to any part of the city for 6d. We were surprised to see officers drive in them daily to parade. The private carriages are very showy, generally drawn b> four horses, and, owing to the desire of imitating the Russian customs, the leading horses are at so great a distance from the others, that fhe latter are some moments in making their appearance after the former have turned the corner of a street. Some fashion- ables drive four horses abreast. In this case the two centre ones draw a light Vienna carriage at a brisk trot, whilst the outside horses trained for sUow, go on a prancing canter, their heads inclining outwards, and their elegant flowing manes reaching below their knees. The drivers are dressed in a long dark robe, closed to the waist with a sash, and the skirts long and flowing ; their thick black hair is brought over the forehead by a low. crowned and broad- brimmed hat. They sit with their knees almost touching the horses which they guide with reins made of knotted rope covered with baize; a lash whip is tied round the right wrist. They utter a shrill cry to warn passengers of their quick approaeh. During our stay at Warsaw, the Princess Rad- zivili, § with General Kiesietowsfca, called upon us to solicit alms for the aged poor, th^ re totally dependant on casual aid. That accomplished lady employs much of her time in alleviating the misery of her fellow. creatures, and her appeal to strangers is seldom made in vain. Gallantry to a beautiful woman prompted those to contribute, whose hearts could possibly be Untouched by her lively picture of the existing distress. We left, with great regret, a city, from its former rank and recent misfortunes, well worthy of observation, and returned to ——, after passing twenty- five days in Ihe journey. ! One ofthe family conspicuous in the present revolution. PRINCE PONIATOWSKY. This brave man had fought and bled for France during the harassing campaigns in the Peninsula and the North of Europe, and, by his means, bring the idol of the army, were the Polish troops true to the French standard ; yet, at the retreat of Napoleon, after the battle of Leipzig, the bridge across the river was blown up, and the noble Poniatowskv was left to fall into the hands of the Russians. This his high mind disdained ; and, though severely wounded by the Cossack's lances, he rode, with his staff, th rough Reichenback's garden, at the end of which runs the narrow river, which he had little chance of passing. Then, turning to his faithful comrades, he exclaimed « Brave Poles, here we may at least find an honourable death !" He spurred his horse into the stream, which is deep, though not 30 feet broad. The poor animal succeeded in getting his feet on tbe opposite bank, which is very steep, but tlic prince, faint from the loss of blood, fell backwards from his saddle, aud was drowned. Thus died one of the last of the royal family of Poland ; a prince for whom even his enemies enter- tained the highest respect, and whose upright and amiable character, bravery of conduct, and cul- tivated mind, will ever render bis memory dear. Near the spot where the remains were found, a plain stone monument has been raised, with an elegant Latin inscription, to the following effect: In this river, PRINCE JOSEPH PONIATOWSKI, Commander of ttie Polish troops,{ and Field Marshal of France, Having received three mortal wounds, whilst, continuing last on the field of battle, lie covered tile retreat of the French army, Terminated a life consecrated to glory and liis country the XIX October, MDCCCXIH.

The news respecting Poland is of unusual interest and importance. The Emperor of Russia has an- nounced his intention of inflicting summary ven- geance on his revolted subjects, und has already issued orders to the entire body of the army of Lithuania to enter Poland without delay. His Imperial Majesty is in a high stale of exasperation, SJ that the Poles will have a most vindictive power to contend against. Mtanwhile it gives us pleasure to learu that they are fully aivare of their situation, and are resolved at all hazards to struggle for the preservation of their freedom. Their disposable forces amount to 140,000 men, 45,000 of whom are regular troops; 20,000 disbanded, who again take up arms, and nearly 80,000 recruits. This force if well organized, and above all, unanimous in the assertion of their natural rights, inay do wonders, even against the myriads of the Czar. We expect shortly to hear news of an engagement between the two Powers, which will of course be bloody and desperate. FIRF. AT LKWISIIAM CHURCH — On Sunday morn- ing, about seven o'clock, that ancient edifice, the parish church of Lewishatn, was discovered to be on fire, aud the consternation of the parishioners, and of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages, heightened by the late conflagrations caused" by incendiaries, was extreme. From Ihe most careful inquiries, the fire originated in mere accident. It appears, that at the early hour above- mentioned, a lire was lighted iu the stoves ofthe vestry- room ' to w liich several flues were attached for the purpose of wanning Ihe church. From some inadvertence the fire was not properly guarded, and the pipes being over- heated communicated to the wooden wainscotting of the room of the vestry and parish registry, which was entirely destroyed, aud tbe flames extending to the adjacent gallery, the vener- able' edifice was for some time iu the most imminent danger of being completely destroyed. The orna- mental work of the ceiling and the oak carvings were very much burnt and injured, as vvas the organ lately repaired, the pipes and metal works of which were nielled by the intense heat. The organ loft and the western galleries were entirely'de- stroyed, aud every window of the church is broken to pieces, and the framework partly consumed The interior of Ihe edifice, Ihe altar and the chan- cel, have sustained considerable injury by the dis- charge of water and Ihe exertions made lo extin- guish the flames. Fortunately water was eai ly obtained from Ihe river Ravensbourne, which flows through the village, aud engines'arriving in quick succession from Greenwich, Deptford, aud London the fire was. got under by nine o'clock. The assem- bled multitude and the new police rendered Ihe most praiseworthy assistance, and every person did their utmost to preserve the church" from total destruction. The parish records, in the vesti- y- room, were preserved. Soon after the commence- ment of the fire a policeman was seriously injured by the falling- of one qf the burning rafters. * Kluzewo, I. owiczek, Rrzesc, Kowal, Gostynin, Gombin, Socllazew, Ulonic, Orzanow. j To this village ( called erroneously, in tl-. e newspaper*.

It has been affirmed here throughout the past week, and with' a confidence, arid in quarters lhat lead us to place faith iu the sfatement, that a change is about to take place in the office of Lord Lieutenant of this county, by the appointment thereto of Lord Foley, in the room of Ihe Earl of Coventry. The: latter Nobleman, as is well known, has been for some time incapacitated by the infirmities of age, ant! severe indisposition, to the discharge of the duties which pertain to the station in question, and they have consequently devolved upon Viscount Deer- hurst, bis Lordship's eldest son, as Vice- Lieutenant. It appears, however, that upon the demise of the Crown, it is required that Lords Lieutenant should take the oaths of allegiance, & c. to the succeeding Sovereign within a staled time. That period having now arrived, and unhappily the venerable Earl con- tinuing in that state which prevents his performance of this act of fealty and acknowledgment of the new Monarch, he has become disqualified de facto et de jure / or the further holding of the office, anil hence the necessity of that proceeding we are led to believe has already taken place, Lord Foley being distin- guished by the choice of his Majesty to fill the vacancy.— Worcester Herald. SLNGULAK COINCIDKNCFS OF SOMNAMBULISM. — James VVatkins arrived in Bath from the country, on Wednesday, Dec. 8, and slept at the Darby and Joan public- house, in Guinea- lane. Between 3 and 4 o'clock on the following morning, he hiis since stated, lie dreamt that he was letting himself out of a window upon some green turf, and became conscious of his situation ouly when his hands were letting go their hold on the frame of an attic window, from which he fell upon a sky- light about fifteen feet below, where lie was found suspended. Mr Skinner, surgeon; of Belmont, was immediately sent for, anil f. uind the unfortuunte man suffering from several long nnd deep cuts inflicted by the glass of the sky- light, together with some severe contusions'.— On the night of the 20th inst. Mr. Durbin, musician, had retired to his bed at the Plough inn, in Southgale- street; when, also between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning ( his mind being previously impressed with the necessity of rising very early), he dressed himself, and lifted up the window of his bed- room, which was fastened by a nail, out of which he proceeded, and fell on the curb stone ofthe pavement in the street. Mr. Durbin was taken up in a state of insensibility by the wafchmrn, and we regret to learn that he has sustained very considerable injury, his left elbow joint being much shattered, and his head severely cut and bruised. Mr. Skinner was also 9ent for on this occasion, under whose care both these somnambulists are at present going on as favourably as may be expected from the nature of the injuriesfhey havesuffered — Hath Herald. EARL STANHOPK'S CALCULATING MACHINERY. — The smallest machine, which is intended for the two first rules of addition and subtraction, is not larger than an octavo volume; and hy means of dial- plates, and small indices moveable with a steel pin, the operations are performed with nndeviatirig accuracy. The second, and by far the most curious instrument, is about half the size of a common table writing desk. By this, problems in multiplication and division, of almost any extent, are solved without the possibility of a mistake, by the simple revolution of a small winch The multiplier and multiplicand in one in- stance, and the dvisor anil dividend in the olher, are first properly - vi... nged; then, by turning the winch, the product or quotient is found. What alwavsappears singular and surprising to spectators is, that in working sums in division, & c. if the operator be inattentive to his business, and thereby attempts to turn the handle a single revolution more than he ought, he is instantly admonished of his mistake by the sudden springing up of a small ivory ball!— New Monthly Magazine. ANCIKNT PIKE.— In the year 1497, a pike was caught in standing water, at Heilbroon on the Neckar, which had a copper ring round its head ; the ring bore the following inscription in Greek:—" I am the first fish that was launched into thia pond, and was thrown in by Frederic the Second, emperor of the Romans, on the fifth of October, 1230." It appeared therefore, lhat the pike was two hundred and sixty seven years old when thus caught ; it weighed three hundred and fifty pounds!! and an exact representation of it exists to this day against one of the gates of Heilbroon.— Literary Gazette. CULTIVATION OF POOR SOILS.—' The cultivation of poor soils is objected to, because corn can be grown cheaper on rich lands; bill it is equally true, lhat com can be produced on the rich soils of Ireland for instance, cheaper than on soil of tho same quality in England, and cheaper still in Poland than in Ireland; so that this argument,. if carried out, would make all England a desert. But it is most important lo continue the poor lands in cultivation, ( and especially on account of the manufacturers themselves,) since the cultivation of ' poor lands furnishes far more employment for lh » poor llian that of rich lands; they cause also a much greater demand for implrmeutH and manu-' factured articles; they furnish a profitable vend for the refuse of various manufactures ( in the form of artificial manure), and to a vast amount, which would otherwise be altogether worthless: for manure on rich lands, instead of augmenting tho quantity of corn, rots the straw; these lands also produce corn of finer quality, and ( by means of artificial manure) a greater quantity ; and in wet summers they are the main dependence of the country.— Soils of this description cannot be con- verted into permanent pasture; and if they could, a farm, which in tillage would furnish constant employment for twenty families, in pasture would only require'a single man. To decide this question by a reference to the price of corn alone, aud over- look the many important collateral interests affected by it, would be both impolitic and unjust. MANSION HOUSF, LONDON.— The Hiter Bitten. — The well- known Joseph Ady, of Houndsditch, who for many years has industriously employed himself in finding fortunes for Ihe poor, was placed at the Bar on the charge of having refused to pay the carriage and porterage of a parcel from Wol- verhampton. The porter to the Swau- with- Two- Necks, Lad- lane, said he went with Ihe parcel, which came to 2s. 2d. He asked Mr. Ady for tho porterage and carriage, whieh the latter said he should certainly not pay. Mr. Ady— But it was a hoax. 1 have had six hoaxes played off within a few days. One was a basket, as 1 hoped, of gamp, a hare's head sticking out at one end, aud a hare's foot at the other. There was no body though lo the hare ( loud laughter). In another basket was a part ot a ( log ( continued laughter) The Lord Mayor: Let me see the parcel. Ou his Lordship unfolding several pieces of coarse paper, out tum- bled one of Mr. Ady's letters, ( Mr. Ady hail not paid the postage,) staling that if Ihe party for- warded a certain sum of money, he ( Mr. Ady) would tell him of something to his advantage. The letter was signed Joseph Ady, 26, resident in Houndsditcli, and personally known to all Ihe Aldermen of Loudon. Mr. Alderman l. ucas, who was present, and the Lord Mayor laughed heartily at Ibis; and after some consideration, and a refer- ence to the Act of Parliament regulating Ihe car- riage of parcels, & o. ordered Mr. Ady to pay the demand, with 8s. costs, in all 10s, 2d. Sir. Ady looked much confounded, and said he should appeal against the decision. ASSESSED TAXES.— We understand surcharges to. the amount of £ 1300 I ave been issued in lhi » town, creating an excitement amongst - the inhabitants unusual on such occasions. No tow n in the king- dom has more cheerfully paid tbe government imposts than this, and at such a juncture as the present, when Ihe country is calling aloud for the modification or a repeal of taxes, the present cir- cumstance operates most mischievously. The go- vernment calculates, and justly too, on the loyalty of the middle classes of society, because of the interest they have in the country, but there is n point beyond which it is imprudent for the Board of Taxes to go, and in this particular we think they are acting unwisely. Such a state of things cer tainly calls loudly for a change.— Stockport Paper* SHREWSBURY PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BV wii. t. rAM irnrow'M AND JOHN EDIIOWES, CORN- MARKET,
