The defendant offering to go to trial* upon such day, within the present tertn, or the sittings after, as the Court may appoint. The appli- cation was founded on the affidavit of iVlr. 04Cotinell$ which was vefy brief, and merely slated that he hail a good, fair, holiest,, rtnd just, defence on the riieritSj and that as to the cotints demurred to* he$ as he tva* advised and believed, had a legal defenc » * thereto. It was not for any Vexatiofis purpose that he now sought to withdraw the demurrers; lie would Under- take to have judgment entered as of this tehn, and not to move for a new trial or arrest ot judgment. The Attorney- General said, he felt himself impera- tively bound to resist the application on the pait of Mr. O'Connell; He resisted it on the ground, first, that the Court had hot the power to comply without the Consent of the Attorney General; he resisted it, secondly, on the ground that eveit if the Court hail the power to comply vVith. tbe application, the grounds to sustain it were wholly and altogether insufficient, as Mr. O'Conneil did not swear that it was not for the purpose of procrastination and delay that the demur- rers were first filed and this application now made*.— " What is the consequence ( said the Attorney- General) of your lordships now allowing pleas to be ifiled instead of these demurrers?— that no trial can be had during the present term ; thus the ends of justice arc defeated, and the provisions of this statute, which secures to the public a speedy administration of the law," are tendered wholly inoperative. Then instead of a trial at bar, which 1. intended to have, they pro- posed to giVe me a trial at Nisi Prius. Now 1 tell y learned friends on the other side, / never trill fry this case at Nisi Prius. Look a little at tlie conse- quences of bringing this case at Nisi Prius ; it would inevitably lead to the postponement of judgment Until next term. Had 1 tried the case at bar there would be no necessity to have a rule for judgment oh Ihe postea-. Any points of law arising in the case would be disposed of at onfce before the full Court, and judgment, in case of a verdict against fhe defendants, would follow instanfer. There would be no motion for an arrest of judgment., but by a Nisi Prius tibial, they would have until the fourth day of the next term to move in arrest of jtulgment. The Solicitor- General followed on the same side. The judges were unamimously of opinion, in repu- diating the doctrine laid down by the Attorney- General, that it was the exclusive right of the Crown, and not of a defendant, to withdraw a plea hnd substitute a demurrer, arid e contra, and that the court had not the power to grant the application without the consent of the Attorney- General. • In consideration, therefore, of the difficulty in which the court would be placed in case of judgment against the defendants, in apportioning the punishment, iu the absence of all judicial knowledge of the facts against, them, except from affidavits, their lordship* granted the application, on the terms proposed. The Attorney- General said that he would leave the matter entirely with the Court, and would not be party to any terms; of course the Court would pronounce such order as they Considered right. H « wished to suggest, that whatever terpis were offered should be incorporated within the order, that he might, if he thought fit, take advantage cf them. The following order was then pronounced—" That the defendant should have liberty to withdraw his demurrer, and file a plea of * not guilty^ the defend- ant to take notice of trial for the sitting at Nisi Prius, and appear personally and allow judgment to be given instanter; the defendant also undertaking, that in case of a verdict against him, he shall not move an arrest of judgment, as for a new trial."— The same order was made as to all the defendants. This decision is looked upon as a triumph by one party, and received with wailing and gnashing of teeth by the other " This decision" ( says the Dublin Evening MailJ " has produced an extra- ordinary sensation not only upon the members of the legal profession, but on the public generally; the privilege sought hy Mr. O'Connell, having been con- idered of almost too absurd and preposterous a nature for serious argument. A great victory is claimed— and the adherents of Mr. O'Connell, and those who advocate the separation of the two coun- tries, begin solemnly to believe that that person bears a charmed life," invulnerable to the weapon* of the law, and shielded against the shafts of justice ! The truth is, a severe blow has been inflicted by this decision upon the measures of Lord Anglesey and his Administration; one of which the faction will not be slow in availing itself."

No sailor on the wide ./ Egean ever longed more fervently for rest- when the moon was hidden by black clouds, and not a guiding star was to be seen. With excellent intentions and clear judgment, he was, while irreproachable in other respects, a timid, temporising Minister— temporising not for any interested or selfish views, but from the irre- solution of his nature. Owing to this cause, h § contented himself with providing shifts for the day, and left the morrow to provide for, itself, Upou the Catholic question, and upon that alone, he was " rm; yet even upon that lie was remiss, leaving lidone what he ought to have done', and never ndeavouring to strengthen the Constitutional aud ' rotestant party, while their' opponents opened houses for recruits, and beat up for them witli idefatigable activity. It was a part of- Queen Elizabeth's policy that her Ministers should always be informed of what hopeful'subjects were rising- in the Universities," in order that she might bo supplied from thence with persons welt Qualified for the business of the State in its various depart- ments. Mr. Pitt ( who had as little inclination as isure for giving any attention to literature) was not without foresight of this kind, and he raised up successors to himself w hen lie brought Lu'rd Liver- pool and Mr. Canning forward in public life; but Lord Liverpool neglected this policy, needful and obvious as it is. Although trained to the business of the State, and wholly devoted to it, his natural inclination was for domestic and private life; and when he was not engaged in the routine of Govern- ment, beseemed happy if he could lay aside all its concerns. Ease, then, was what he most desired, and for the sake of ease he yielded every thing to the importunity of his opponents, or regarded with cold indifference the best intended efforts of his friends. The strength of his Administration de parted with Lord Londonderry. Sherlock speaks of * tame and gentle virtues which encourage the injuries of bad men.' Lord Liverpool's ministerial character was of this kind.— Quarterly Rev'ew. CHESS.— We know not what credit is due to the report so generally prevalent, that the death of Phillidor, the famous chess- player, was greatly- accelerated by his extreme sensitiveness at being beaten in six successive games of chess by the Turkish Ambassador; but, however this may have, been, we understand his Excellency found his match in this country long befoie his return to Constantinople; and was himself beaten over and over again, and at last with a castle given him, bv the late Mr. Page, a lawyer of Haverfordwest, in South Wales. We believe this Mr. P. was the same person who, some years before that time, ( when residing at N. ew Cross, Kent,) at the instance of Mr. Fox and other genilejnen of Brookes'* admirers of this scientific game, occasionally visited and caused so . much mirth aud betting in the Rooms, by discomfiting the celebrated chess- playing automatou then exhibiting iu St. Jumet » ' s street.

It is tiry intention, S: r,' to state to the committee the financial plans which govcrl/ iiient have: resolvtd to submit to the consideration of the llonsC of Com'rtioils. I tnl'C this early opportunity of doing so, because I know tile anxiety of the house and the country to be informed of t ie nature of thos£ plans. I take this early opportunity of making a statement pf the Supplies and the expendi- ture, for the rea- o. i which I have all'tady described, lint withstanding the whole of the estimates for the pre- sent year are not yet on the table'of the house. Before, however, I go into that statement, aud into any descrip- tion of the alterations in the financial system, which I shall suggest for tlie consideration of tlit; committee) I shall take the liberty of stating what government have done wit1-, n-^ e- enre to the reduction of offices. We havfe tfot bttn ill office long enough to propose all the reductions which it may be advisable to make; But we l- ave already determined upon the reduction of many placet; some of which may be carried into effect im- mediately, although the greater part will require time before tfiey can be fully adopted. I will now, Sir, state the names of the btiices which government are of opinion maybe reduced witlu ut detriment to the public service; and in making that statement, 1 wish the com- mittee to understand tlint I do not describe the reduction as any great immediate saving of the public mfiney; because, although it will certainly be productive' of im- mediate saving, if will not be So to. the extent tfhitih might be expected; because it Is necessary to provide for many of the persons whose offices are rCduCed, by retired allowances; Sir, the names of the offices which it has appeared to Ministers may be advantageously re- duced iue - ' I'he Vice Treasurer of Ireland-- the Lieutenant- fleneral, anil Clerk of the Delivery of lh(- Ordnance - ihe Auditor of the Civil List.-- the treasurer nl' Ihe Military College - the Treasurer of llic Military ASvlum— ati officer. in ttie depart- ment nf the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer-. the Postmaster, general in Ireland- the Resident Surveyor- General, Surgeon, and oilier nlficeis, sixty in number, t'Otuiected Willi the Post.

Making ill the whole two huildred and ten places, which, in the opinion iff government, inayi with the assistance of the House of Commons, be advantageously reduced. Sir, continued the Noble Ijordj besides the redactions whichThave described, my noble friend at ihe head of the Colonial Department is in hopes that he shall be able to carry into effect the recommendations di the commission appointed bv the late governrftCnt to inquire into the state of the colonies; and if iffy noble and learned friend, the Lord Chancellor, is enabled to carry his intentions into effect, a great reduction will t'ake place iii his department, I do not state these re- ductions as any great economy in point of money, but I slate, the ill as a grCat diminution of patronage ; and as a confirmation of my declaration ou a former occasion, that the government of this country w ould no longer be Carried on by patronage. I now-, Sir, proceed to the financial statement for the year. The amount of the proposed supplies for the present year is £ 16,850,000, including, of course, the interest of the debt and exchequer- bills, and all the other nnnn. il charges. The income of the year 1830 wis £ 50,060,000; but from the amount must I/ O de- ducted the duties ou beer, leather, cider, and a portion of the duties on sugar, amounting altogether to £' 2,9l0,( XK)'. This will reduce the income to £- 17,150,000. If from that be subtracted the estimated expenditure of £ 10,850,000, it will leave a surplus ot' £> 00,000 Now, Sir, although I was never au advocate for a large sink- ing fund, or a large surplus of revenue, I certainly think that a surplus of only £ 300, OIK) is coining too near the margin. I do think that the present juncture ft a favourable due— our manufactures being in a prosperous condition-'— to make those changes and re- ductions which may give a stimulus to industry and feiteve the poorer classes. The great object which I have in view is to relieve the labouring people—( cheers) — by the removal of those taxes which press most heavily upon them. The best mode, Sir, of relieving the labouring poor, is, undoubtedly, to be found in giving them'employment, which can only be done by relieving those' manufactures in which the greatest number of persbns are employed. With this view I. have attentively considered our taxation J and though, 111 the present state of our finances, it is impossible to remove any great weight of taxation, I yet feel that the linn hen may be made lighter by an alteration iu the mode in which it is imposed ; so that, while we sup- port the revenue at the point to which it must be kept up, we can, at the same time, afford great relief to the ihlfttstry of the manufacturing interest. The taxes to which I have directed my attention may be divided into three classes. Of these, the first Consists of such taxes as, by ( heir largeness ot amount, diminish the receipts of the revenue. The second class consists of taxes which press unequally upon the people—- on one part of the population very much— oil another not at all. Un- der the third head come those taxes,- which,' being im- posed upon particular manufactures, take much from the pockets of the people, Without making any thing like a proportional addition to the revenue. These are fhe three classes on which I propose to act when I re- duce laxalinn. ( Cheers.)' Having stated the course I propose to pursue, it would not bfe jtist in me to refrain from' retnrnjng thanks to my hon. friend opposite ( Sir On Candles of . C' 12.), UIA>, ,..-•' this article ti, e reduction by the way, ' will hot, tins year, lib: £ 491),( Ml, because, iu consequence' of representations made to ine by the manufacturers . respecting the heavy loss of. sfo. ck which would be,, caused to IheiUj by any sudden alteration in the system, I have been yidiiced to defer the repeal of this tax lujtil, tile. Hill of, October; the reduction, then, on tins article may perhaps lie taken at about £ 200,000). On Printed Calicoes, of £ 500,0OO. On Glass £ 1) 00,000. On Auction Duties on the sale of laud, £ 60,000. On the Miscellaneous Taxes, £ 80,000; making iu the whole a diminution arid relief to the people ol £ 1,080,000. This, Sir, is the reduction I have been enabled to effect, and it is carried as far aspossiIdy. it could be, consistent with the extent of power 1 possessed in laying on frMh taxCs which should not interfere with productive industry. The nexl point is now I propose to make good the deficiency fo the revenue without imposing an equal binthen on the people, so as not to interfere with the productive . industry, nor press on the less wealthy c'assCsj . The first article of this kind which I propose t" modify is, that upon Wines. Flench wines pay a duty of 7s. 3d. a gallon j. other foreign wines pay - Is. lOd. a gallon, and . CJape wines ' 2s. 5d. 1 intend to equalize these duties, aud to make it 5s. Gd. a gallon upon all ( hind cheers): This change in the1 duty, I contend, will produce no diminution of consumption; and I may remark, that although there is apparently a great rise in the duty on Cape wines, yet that, in fact, it is not so extensive, inasmuch as the public were much in the habit of p lying the high duty for Cape wines under other names. ( Near, hear.) This equalization of the duty on Wines will, 1 trust, occasion adiininution in the price of the article; - and if the'consumption be not diminished ( as I have every reason to presume it will not), I may come to the following conclusion : — TI. e average consumption of wines in this Co'uhfry amounts lo 6,70.1,000 gallons; anil this, imposing a duty of 5s. Gd. a gallon, on all wines, would give £ 1,810,000. Now, heretofore, tlie average receipt of those duties amounted to £ 1,585,000, Therefore, therfc would be ait increase to the revenue of £ 1250,( XX). The next tax to w hich I come, is that, on Timber, which at present Stands thus i - Rough European timber pays 5s. a load - lhat from the Canadas, iu a similar stale, pays 10s. a load ; but when this same European timber is cut no i to deals, it pays 45s. a load, while that of the Canadas, ill the same condition; pay's but 5s. 9d. a load. It is quite true that, speaking on principle, timber is not a tit object for taxation; but as the custom of taxing it has J rivalled So long,' and as it is one of those articles exceedingly difflcul to'smuggle ( hear, hear), I think I am justified in maintaining it. I propose thus lo modify it: raising thi'Ss. per load on rough European timber to 20s. ( thereby continuing the advantage to the Canada limber)' and to advance the duty on the Canada timber in deals to 30s.--- three times the duty on it in the rough state; This Change I calculate will go to increase the revenue to £ 760,000,- or say £ 660,000. These, Sir, w ere taxes interfering w ith the manufacturer. I now propose a tax, the greater part of which, will be, drawbacks, for I should be very sorry to touch a staple manufacture in any way which could be hurtful to it. I have decided upon taking off £ 500,000 which pressed on part of a manufacture, and now my objectisto spread it over all. I propose, with this view, to impose a duty of Id. per lb. ou Raw Cotton 1mported into this Country, and to a low a drawback of Id. per lb. on all manufac- tured cotton exported. The next tax to which I comfe, is that on the Report of Coals. On the larger coals'it amounts to a prohibitory duty; on the larger coals it is 17s. Gd. on the smaller 4s. Gd. I intend to lay 10s. on bolft. I calculate ou this tax producing £ l00,0iX). The next tax is one of a nature altogether new— a tax tiport passengers by Steam. boats. ( Hear). I propose to lay. on a duty of Is. per head for every distance so per- formed under twenty miles; of two shillings under thirty miles; and two shillings and sixpence for any distance above thirty . miles; I now come to another point of taxation. I, have relieved the land from the auction'duties upon its transfer. In its stead I propose a Mx oh ( he, Transfer of Land of one half per ceni. I do not think any justification can be made Of a system by which any one classshoulil be exempted from bearing its fair share of the public burdens. 1 propose, accord- ingly, in like manner, a tax on all bona fide transfers of property in the l'' unds of one half per cent. ( Hear). 1 do not mean to touch cases of transfer of stock as security for the loan of money. I am aware of the delicate nature, and the excessive difficulty of the sub- ject. It may be fancied that danger may arise from it. I do not think so. I do not flunk the proposition affects the interests of the country more than the income tax, I have already said I do not mean to touch the transfer of stock as security for the repayment of money. I only add ress myeslf to the bona fide transfers, bet weftn which and the others the distinction may be easily lftade. From the duty on property in the funds, I calculate on £ 800,000, and from that on land £' 400j000, niaking £ 1,200,000; from wine £ 210,000: from timber £ 600,( XX); from cotton, £ 500,000; from coal, £ 100,' 000; from steam boats, £ 100,000; making in all £ 2,740,000.— To re- capitulate— the income of 1830 was £ 17,150,000.

We noticed In onr last, that a flood, consequent on the late rapid, thaw,. had commenced in the river Severn.— In the niglit Of Wednesday the river attained its greatest depth, and by that time con- siderable portions of each' of the suburbs of this town, were under wafer— the inhabitants of many houses being obliged to leave their lower apartments to, the occupancy of the umeelcomc element.— Wc regret to add, that, in addition to the great inconvenience sustained, Mr. Beacall, of the Sun and Ball Inn, Castle Foregate, and several other respectable resi- dents, whose premise!) were assailed by the stream, suffered considerable loss, although the flood on this occasion was not so great as that in the year 1S09, and still less as compared with what is emphatically called " the great flood" of 1795. As in former instances, the rapidity with which the river rose was such as to take many persons by surprise, and conse- quently great loss has followed to many individuals, in the destruction or injury of their property ; while loose timber, hay, arid Various pther articles that would float, have been carried off by the stream — Providentially, no life has been lost in this vicinity, as far as we have been able to ascertain. Some erroneous assertions having been published as to the height of this when compared with former floods, we have it in our, power to give an accurate statement on this point. There are in the house now occupied hy Mrs. Davies, maltster, opposite Frank- well Quay, brass plates marking the height attained by the water on several memorable occasions; and from this sure index w£ learn that the flood of last week was lower by 30.1 inches fhan that of ]? 95; lower hy 241 inches than that of 1770; and lower by 22' j inches than that in the^ ear 1672. H. Parnell), and acknowledging myself indebted for niggestio'ns to his a'dnJiraMe publicati ition 011 the many su^ . financial state of the country. With respect to the first claSis of taxes fo which I propose to apply myself. The duty on TolmcC'o is in this class, and I calculate that ill making a reduction ill this article, the revenue will suffer little, as the con- sumption will be considerably increased. I also anti- cipate from it another advantage. I have good reason to believe'that it will altogether destroy smuggling in Great Britain and Ireland ; and I ain convinced it will afford great relief in England, and still greater in Ire- Find. I propose to reduce the duty on raw tobacco i 3s. to Is. 6d. a pound, and that upbiY the imnu- froin . factored tobacco from 9s. to 4s. fid. a pound ( hear.) I now- coine to another tax - that on Newspaper Slumps and j4aiSertisemenls. ( Hear,- hear). The newspaper Stamp at [ ireseht Costs 4d. and there is a discount of 20 per cent. I now propose to reduce this duty to 2d. without discount. Advertisements now pay a duty of 3s. Gd. I intend tn reduce this duty to Is. for every advertisement under ten lines and to 2s. ( id. for those above ten lines. ( Cheers). The next tax 1 approach is that on Sea- borne Coals ( loud cheering)— than which there is none that presses more directly upon the labouring classes of the community, by increasing the expense'of fuel, while it at the same presses on them considerably fry impeding the growth nf manufactures in those parts of the Country in which coal does not abound. In England,. I may fearlessly assert that very great relief will be afforded by. the repeal of this tax, hut greater still will be the benefit conferred Upon Ireland. This tax pressed with, peculiar severity upon Ireland. Sir, I take oft the' whole" of it. ^ Continued rfieers). The next tax I come to' is that gn Tallow and Candles ( hear, hear). This interferes more particularly with manufactures, and it takes an immensity of money out of the pockets of the people, without making a pro- portional return to the revenue. If the farmer were allowed lo use the raw material, he could make candles at a much cheaper rate than he now buys them, for he . has to pay not only the excise duty, but the profits of the manufacturer. The next tax is one Which interferes with the manufacture itself— 4 mean that on Printed Ca'icnes, which I look upon as in all respects one of the most objectionable taws that could possibly be devised. Two millions are drawn from the pockets of the people, while of this, not more than £ 500,000 ever found its way into the exchequer. I Consider it most desirable to take off this tax. There is another tax of this class to. which I shall apply myself, it is the tax on Glass; and I beg to say I consider jt a matter of great import- ance, because I am convinced glass might pe raised into one of the staple manufactures of the country. We posse s the materials, and our unequalled machinery would give us a powerful advantage in the manufacture over foreign nations, ami when once the article is freed frnm the trammels of the excise, and the duty is taken Off coals, I have no doubt this manufacture will rise into prosperity, and furnish commodities for a great export trade. There are 163 small taxes which did not bring to the Exchequer more than £ 2000a year amongst them, which I also propose to repeal. I will only further mention the auction duty on tbe sale of land'; from this the revenue derives very little benefit, while it is product! « of much in'convemcnce and expense to the individual.— I will now state the amount of the reduction. The receipt arising from the duty on To- bacco amounted to £ 2,800,000; the reduction of one half left £ 1,400,000. The receipt on Newspaper Adver- tisements amounted to £ 389,000; on Stamps £ 150,000 — the reduc ion on them will be £ 190,000. The repeal of the duty on Coal and Slates—-( by the bye, I forgot to me ition that I also propose tn take off the duty rn slates)— this repeal occasions a reduction of £ 330,000. is the income, as reduced from the £ 50,056,616 by the ' axes which were repealed. The estimated expenditure of this ySar we take at £ 4( » yf00.000, leaving a surplus of £ 450,000. I hope the house- will consider thai the taxes to which I. have, applied myself— namely, the duties on coals, candles, printed Calico, and glass—- have been well Selected, as impeding manufactures, and preventing the employnienr of the labouring classes. 1 trust I am not wrong iu making a Lold experiment ( I admit it is a bold one) but still one attended with no real danger. All calculation seems to prove that the plan I suggest will succeed; and if it does, it will raise the prosperity of the country to a great extent. ( Loud and Continued cheers.) The proposition of the Noble Lord to impose a tax upon the transfer of Funded Property, was warmly ob- jected to by several members as a breach of faith with the public creditor, and a strong determination was evinced to oppose it in its progress should his Lordship persist.

Zith Minshull Guide Post At half- past ten, In South Wales, travelling was much impeded owing to the flooded state of the roads. The Mil- ford mail, which ought to have reached Gloucester before five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, did not arrive there till nearly twelve hours after its time. It experienced several delays on the road, one of w hich was of the most perilous description. In coming over a bridge, neat- the Half- way house, about nine miles on this side of Carmarthen, fhe wheel became locked In a low wall in such a manner that advance dt retreat was at the moment impracticable. The flood was rising rapidly at the time, awl the four horses turning round, were swept over into the stream and all drowned, whilst yet attached to the mail. The same fate threatened two gentlemen inside, but an outside passenger, servant we believe to one of them, after one or two fruitless attempts, succeeded in swimming to the public- house, whence assistance being procured, they were providentially rescued hy means of coracles. At Monmouth, on Wednesday, the inhabitants were thrown into the greatest alarm by the rivers Wye and Monuow overflowing their bounds, and occasioning great peril to the residents near Wye- bridge, Ovcr- Monnow, arid the lower part of Mon- now- street. The flood had not risen to so great a height dining a period of six years, but hy the latest accounts it was happily subsiding. The greatest interest was excited for the arrival of the Welsh mail, which was delayed till between nine and ten o'clock at night. It was then necessary to forward the bags by a chaise, and instead of Ihe regular route, they were compelled to go the Hereford road, crossing hy Welsh Newton to gain tbe usual direc- tion — An iron bridge, lately erected across the Monnow, at Monmouth Forge, was swept away, and carried down the flood, till it was arrested in its progress by some trees overhanging the river near the town. KENII/ WORTH, FEB. 11.— An accident occurred on Tuesday, at Chesford Bridge, which crosses the Avon about a mile and half from Kenilworth, on the road to Leamington, which might have been attended with the most calamitous and fatal results. The family of the Bishop of Chester, consisting of five young ladies, his daughters, and three domestics, were travelling in a carriage and four from Lichfield to Leamington; on arriving at the bridge above- mentioned, the post- boys most imprudently attempted to proceed through a body of water, which, had it been perfectly still and motionless, would yet have presented a serious obstacle to further progress, the river, in consequence of the sudden thaw, having overflowed its banks and covered the road and adjoining meadows to a greater extent than has been witnessed for some years. The water for a consider- able distance, on crossing the bridge, could not have been much less than five feet in depth. The carriage had proceeded about half way through this bedy of water, when the violence of the stream occasioned the horses to lose their footing and lifted both them and the forepart of the carriage across the rails fencing off the meadows from tbe road. To the circumstance of the hinder part of the carriage not following, hut becoming locked with one of the posts, the safety of the whole party at this critical period can alone he ascrilied ; for had it not been for this stay, nothing, humanly speaking, could have pre- vented the carriage being swept away by the force of the current into the bed of the river. Some labourers had observed a carriage proceeding in the direction of the bridge, and by calling out to the post- boys, endeavoured to stop them from crossing at so danger- ous a ford ; possibly, however, they were too distant for this " voice of warning" to be heard. Mr. Dor- mer, in whose employment the labourers were, and who lives at a farm- house near the bridge, immedi- ately dispatched one of his men to Kenilworlh, and among others, to Mr. Bodington, surgeon, of that place, to whose personal exertions, aided hy the prompt and judicious measures recommended by him, the preservation of the whole party is mainly to he attributed. Before Mr. Bodingtnn's arrival, a braVe effort had been made by one of Mr. Dorn • ,' s labourers, who succeeded in reaching the carriage on a strong and powerful horse, and took up behind hiin one of the female servants who was sitting in the rumble of the carriage; the violence of the stream, however, swept away the horse, and his riders, at Ihe same instant, w- ere seen struggling in the water. The man, however, who w'as an excellent swimmer, as soon as he could disengage himself from the grasp of the woman supported her with his teeth, and swam with her to the shore in safety. At this moment Mr. Bodiugtou arrived, ami finding none willing to en counter a similar risk, having adopted the precaution- ary measure of having a rope tied round his body, and accompanied by his assistant. Mr. Chinn, he entered the water. Where the rails by the roail- s de were unbroken, they served as a support against the pressure of the stream, and a rope that had been thrown to the carriage, secured by one end to the hinder springs, enabled the adventuring parties to reach tbe carriage w here the rail teas broken. Fol- lowing the example thus set them, several then entered the stream, and a ladder being brought, one extremity was placed on the top of the nearest post, nnd the other on the wheel of the carriage. A plat- form was thus made, and having got out of the car- riage by the window, the young ladies and domestics severally crept on their hands and feet; on reaching the rail, a succession of men conveyed them on their shoulders into a waggon, which had been backed. into the water as far as it could with safety, and they were thence conducted to Mr. Dormer's house, where warm beds were, under Mr. Bodington's directions, immediately provided for them, and every attention administered that kindness could dictate or humanity suggest. The young ladies had remained in this situation of extreme peril for upwards of an hour and a half, during the whole of which time the water was gradually rising in the carriage, until at last, it reached nearly the level of the windows. When Ihe news of the accident reached Kenilworlh, the greatest sympathy for the sufferers pervaded the whole village, and this feeling was not a little in creased when it became known who the individuals were, Kenilworlh being the native village of the Bishop of Chester, and his Lordship in his earlier years being recollected by many of the inhabitants of the place during the incumbency of his father, the Rev. Mr. Sumner. The young ladies have entirely recovered both from the effects Of so long an ex posure to the water, and also from the alarm neces- sarily occasioned by the accident; and they were enabled to leave Kenilworth on Thursday, whence they proceeded to Leamington, their original destin- ation. In another part of our Journal, we have given a clear exposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial statement.— As regards our own business, the altera- tion in the Stamp Duties and Advertisement Duties wi| I be a boon both to the trade and the' public : and, as far as they go, the abolition of the taxes on candles, coals, and slates, will be a positive benefit. But fieri: onrjpraise must end i and we regret to say, that the performances of the present Administration o. n . the Civil List and Finance show how little the country has gained by a mere change of Ministry. We have, indeed, new men; but there is the same feebleness, the same want of nerve, that has so long been the cause of jiational embarrass- ment. Why were not the Assessed Taxes, boldly grap- pled with, or if not that, why not some other branch of taxation, in which, with the taxes, all their portion of expensive machinery might have been taken away.' Ill Ihe present case there will, in reality, be 110 taxes re- duced, The recent and. present tamperings with Beer, Tobacco, and Newspaper Duties, however good in their way-,' show, we think, any thing but a statesmanlike method of meeting the exigencies of the times: and have each of them been accompanied with some cor- responding measure that tends to induce a belief that the Ministers wish rather to court the favour which is to be obtained in the empty praise of those who look only to the surface of things, rather than that substantial support which can alone be received from those who judge of public measures according as . they are calcu- lated to promote the religious and moral interests of the people, as well as to conduce to national strength and the encouragement of British agriculture and domestic commerce. Some of the alterations now proposed will induce a great and positive loss to riiany respectable tradesmen, and bring no corresponding benefit to any one: while, looking at tlie whole scheme, we know of no word by wlflcli it can be so well characterised as that of " Delusion." The while affair is a mere shuffle, in which there will be a sufficiency of fuss aud talk and much ado. aboht nothing, for in that term may all its bearings be comprehended. The Revenue, as a co- temporary truly observes, is now below llie expenditure, as every annual statement shews ; and for all taxes now proposed to be reduced others must be substituted, to draw the same amount from . the profits of industry into the Government treasury. This amount will continue to reduce our trade, and render the country, every year, less and less able to bear it. We fully see the propriety of taxing wines and luxuries in preference to necessa- ries ; but we must have the taxes positively reduced be- fore any real benefit will be experienced by the whole public. Until this is done, the reduction of, and putting on, of taxes, will be only a continually shifting and re- shifting the burthens from one portion of the community to the other. Duty being put on Wines will not only tax those who are enabled to enjoy their bottle after dinner, but it will prevent those, whose incomes are small, from drinking wine, and will injure the trade of thousands to an incalculable amount— not only of wine- merchants, but of others whose manufactures reach a foreign market ill . exchange for wine. In fact, while the country is taxed up to its present state of op- pressiveness, in whatever shape, or from whomsoever collected, the trading community will, in the aggregate, feel its pressure with e'qftal severity. Tradesmen de- pend on the incomes of the gentry, who, having lo pay more for their wines, will have less to expend- among tliein. We must have a positive reduction of taxes; without this, partial good only will beeffected, and that always attended with a corresponding partial evil. Since writing the'above, we learn from the London Papers, that the proposed fax on transfers of funded and MARRIED. On the 8th inst. at St. Matthew's, Brixton, the RcV.

Thus all speculation wiih regard to Ihe issue of the trial is at an end. The traversers, have, by their plea, tacitly admitted, that Lord Anglesey was right and that they were wrong. We suspect, from the way in which the trial has gone otF, that the whole is the result of a compromise between the traversers and the Government.. Agitation is, for the present, at an end, and the Viceroy's triumph over Mr, O'Connell complete. It is, however, rumoured, that O'Connell has stipulated for a place! If so, then wc have the quintessence of humbug! and fare- well to all that is honest and worth an Englishman's contending for. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEBRUARY 9. SALWF. Y t'. SALWF. Y. The LORO CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this matter. It was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, given when his honour was Vice Chancellor. [ Mr. While was appointed a receiver, and Messrs. Adams and Burltou, who were not partners, became his sureties. An arrangement was made ttiat the money should be paid into their bankers ( Messrs. Prodgers), anil that Anderson should till up checks, d awn upon them, and White should sign them. The first bankers failed ; and au account w- as opened, on the same arrangement with Messrs. Coletnatl and Morris, who also failed. The question was, whether the receiver himself or his sureties were answerable for the losSj and the conduct of the receiver, the length of time the money was allowed to remain in the bankers' hands, and the slowness with which tie broiiytit it within the jurisdiction of this court, were eir. cumstinces to he lakell into consideration. Though he might have accounted mice a year, yet it appeared that there was generally a balance of £ 1 300 or £ l,- 100 with the bankers, although he had, independently, enough in hand to defray the expenses of the estates A pa'rty was not to he exonerated from all responsibility by merely happening once a year to perform the minimum of what wiis required of him. Looking into all the circumstances, he ( l, ord H could not agree with the decision of his Honour, whose attention could not have been called to the whole of them; if it tiad been, tie would have had the more grateful lank of affirming his judgmeut. It must be admitted, that if the receiver puts the funds oul of his contronl, he takes upon himself to insure and guarantee the solvency of those to whom hf gives the control. It was quite true, that though the receiver did not. so part with his control as to give it entirely to others, yet he gave up his own control j for, though he signed the checks, he could not diaw out the money tin ess thev were filled up by Anderson. That he should be exonerated in such a case, was a doctrine of most serious, not to say formidable, aspect. Strangers alone would control tile fund, and possess a veto against the acts of the receiver; it would be pregnant with Ihe greatest danger The receiver was appointed under the order of the court, and was paid for his servicrs; and his responsibility ought tn be substantial. It was a part of his discretion to keep the money at a banker's no longer than it might be safe j but he could not exercise that discretion if there wits a run upon them, and they were in the jaws nf bankruptcy while the adbibition of another party existed, who,. even if he were willing to concur iu withdrawing the niouey might be prevented by absence or other causes.. If the consideration lo sureties goes to Introduce the control of others, the receiver must be answerable. He ought to liave conducted himself with prudence, and not merely prevented lite misapplication of the funds. There was a'difference between a trustee and a paid agent, though the contrarv had been suggested from tiie case of Massey ti Banner, decided by I. oul Kldon; but which appeared con. sistent with the distinction. It was not, however, necessary to go into that, point, as this ease must rest on its own merits. There was no imputation against Ihe character of Mr. White. ... Decision reversed. Committed to our County Gaol, John Preston and John Harris, charged with stealing two gallons of port wine out of the dwelling house of George Parker, of Hales Owen; Patrick Rresland and Anthony Slade, charged with stealing, at the parish of Crtund. a certain sum of money, the property of J. Williams ; and Eduard Dorricoit, charged with stealing one live cock fowl and one live hen fowl, the property of Thomas Gregory, of Astley, in the parish of St. Mary. PRISON REGULATIONS.— A conversation of some length took place in the House of Commons, on Thursday last, relative to the regulations of Fisherton and some other Gaols, in which it was stated to be the practice not to allow criminal prisoners to see their ^ attorneys in private. The practice was much condemned; and Mr. Lamb observed, that if it existed, it was w rong, and should he discontinued. We can state, for the satisfaction of our readers, that no such practice exists in our County Gaol, the Rules and Regulations of which are printed and exhibited according to Act of Parliament, and expressly pro- vide, that every criminal prisoner shall see his at- torney, " a/ all reasonable times, without witnesses."

IMPORTANT DECISION RESPECTING SHERIFFS. — On Tuesday se'nnight, in the Court of King's Bench, a motion came on, on behalf of the Sheriff of Pembrokeshire, when it appeared from the affidavits filed, that a writ of latitat, in an action of Thomas v. Parry, Esq. was delivered to the . Sheriff, who granted a warrant thereon to bailiffs of the plaintiff's appointment, on which the defendant was arrested; that subsequently the bail bond given by the defend- ant on arrest was, at the request of the plaintiff, assigned to him, and the writ, on the indemnity of the plaintiff's agent, was returned cepi corpus etparatum kabeo. A rule to biicg in Ihe body having been served, it was moved on behalf of the Sheriff fo set it aside, oil the ground of his being indemnified in making such return ; and on argument by Counsel, the rule to set aside the rule to bring in the body was made absolute, MARKET HERALD.

The imports since this day se'nnight have been light, but those of the previous week have kept the market fully supplied. Ttie transactions" in wheat have been to a very limited extent; our neighbouring millers purchase very reluctantly, but their stocks are considered very trifling, and holders anticipating a speedy revival of demand, evince no disposition to submit to any decline in the prices of the finer descriptions; some middling and inferior qualities have been purchased on rather lower terms. - The quantity of Oats on the market is small, and this article has fully supported its price. Barley has continued heavy of sale, but we note no variation in its value. Beans have further advanced Is. per quarter. Flour has been in limited demand at full prices. For Oatmeal there has- been more inquiry, and some parcels taken 011 speculation at our highest cur- rency. A cargo of Odessa Wheat, now on the passage, has been sold at 9s. 9d. and some inferior Baltic has brought 9s. 6d. per 701bs. in bond. Flour, under lock, is still an- object of speculation, but there is al present little on the market this article would now readily obtain our extreme quotations. Wh. eat,( 701b.) 9s. lOd. tn lis.

THE Simplicity of the Ingredients of which these Lozenges are composed is a Recom- mendation for their Use in Preference to all other Medicines advertised for similar Purposes; as such Preparations generally, and perhaps without a single Exception, consist of Opium and. other stimulating Ingredients, highly dangerous in inflammatory Com- plaints, but especially in acute Coughs and Sore Throats. , , , The Efficacy of these Lozenges has been proved by ample Experience, a single Box, with proper Attention to Diet, he. usually sufficing to remove the severest Irritations in the Throat or Lungs, when arising from Cold, the Effects of which, though often apparently trivial in their Commencement, lead too frequently ( when neglected or badly treated) to the most fatal Consequences. It is no slight additional Recommendation to these Lozenges, that their Flavour is so peculiarly grateful ss to render them highly acceptable to Children, whose Lives often fall a Sacrifice to their Obstinacy in refusing appropriate but unpalatable Remedies. Sold by Messrs. WHITNKYS, Shrewsbury, Mr. S. Edwards, Oswestry, Nicholas, Bridgnorth; Harding and Taylor, and Edmonds, Shiffnal; Smith, and Bees- ton, Wellington; Newling, Whitchurch; Franklin, Wem; and by most of the respectable Venders in the Country.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE EDINBURGH MAIL GUAKD AND COACHMAN, I. OST IN TIIE SNOW.—( Further particulars ffotri the Dumfries Journal.)— It is but too true. The fears expressed for the fate of the two unfortunate men have been woefully verified. On Saturday, M'Donald, the guard of the mail, which, should have left Edinburgh on Tuesday, hut which was slopped hy the. rough- ness of the weather until Thursday, had contrived, with great danger and difficulty, sometimes on foot, to reach Tweedshaws.

On the lirst appearance of danger a number of these boats . cut. away from their lines, and made for the land ; wbiift others waited to lift their lmes.

This being remarked, ( he queen replied, ' How liille do we really require: 1 have good books, a good piano- forte,' and a good con- science. With these I can live more ut ease amidst the storms of the world than those by whom they are raised.' 44 lu 1800, after a visit' to tbe eritpress at St. Petcrsburgh, she wns seized on her ri turn to Konigsberg Ivilh an intermittent fever, brought on by anxiety and the critical state of affairs, Prussia being completely overrun by the French troops.

On the 2' lld December, the anniversary of her bridal day, she again entered Berlin, during a period of gloom, and the sorrow of a nation's debasement. The next year, 1810, lier npttil day was eelehrsfed iii the capital with unusual'demon- strations of the love and attachment of the inhabit- ants, but in the course of the evening she was heard to say,— 4 1 think this is the last birthday that I sliull spend 011 earth.' 0 Her words were prophetic.

During her last illness she exhibited all that resignation land composure which are the result of a pure faith aud an unspoiled life, lief only anxiety being for Ihe w elfare of those she was about to leave behind.

The Bank capital was then also doubled, or increased to £ 4,402,343. But the year 1708. is chiefly memorable in tbe history of the Bank, for the act that was then passed, which declared, that during the continuance of the corporation of the Bank of England, 44 it should not be lawful for any body politic, erected or to be erected, oilier , lhan the said Governor and Company of the Bank of England, or, for any other persons whatsoever, united or to be united in covenants or partnership, exceeding the number of six persons, in that part of Great Britain called Eng land, to borrow, owe, or take up any sum or sums of money 011 their bills or notes payable on demand, or in any less time than six months from the borrowing thereof."— This proviso, which has had so powerful an operation on banking in England, is said to have been elicited by the Mine- adventure Company hav- ing commenced banking business, and begun to issue notes. The charter of the Bank of England, when first granted, was to continue for eleven years certain, or lill a year's notice after Ihe 1st of August, 1705- The charter was further prolonged in 1097. In 1708, the Bank having advanced £ 400,000 for the public Service, without interest, the exclusive privileges of the corporation were prolonged till 1733. And in consequence of various advances made at different times, the exclusive privileges of the Bank have been continued by successive renewals, to a year's notice, after the 1st of August, 1833. The last renewal was made in 1800, by the act 40lh Geo. III. cap. 28, ill consideration of an advance hy the Bank £ 0 the public of three millions for six years without interest.

In 1745 the alarm occasioned liy the advance of the High- landers under the Pretender as far as Derby, led to a run upon the Bank, anil in order to gain time to concert measures for averting the run, the directors adopted the device of paying in shillings and six- pences.

Ils principal projector was Mr. William Patetson, an enterprising and intelligent Scotch gentleman, who was afterwards engaged in the ill- fated colony at Darien. Government being at the time much distressed for want of money, partly from the defects and abuses in the system of taxation, and partly from the difficulty of borrowing, because of the supposed instability of the revolutionary establishment, Ihe Bank grew out of a loan of £ 1,200,000 for the public service. The subscribers, besides receiving eight per cent, on the'sum advanced as interest, and £ 4000 a- year as the expense of management, in all £ 100,000 a- year, were incorporated into a society denominated the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The charier is dated the 27tli of July, 1B94. The corporation is prohibited from engaging in nny sort of commercial undertaking other than dealing in bills of exchange, and in gold and silver. It is authorized to advance money upon the security of goods or merchandize pledged to it; and to sell, hy p'tibiie auctioit, such goods as are not redeemed within a specified lime. It was also enacted, in the same year in which the Bank Was established, by statute C William and Mary, cap. 20, that the Bank 41 shall not deal in any goods, wares, or merchandize ( except bullion), or purchase any lands or revenues belonging to the crown, or ad- vance or lend to their Majesties, their heirs or succes- sors, any sum or sums of money by way of loan or anticipation, or any part or parts, branch or branches, fund or funds of the revenue, now granted or belong- ing, or hereafter lo lie granted to their Majesties, their heirs and successors, other than such fund or funds, part or parts, branch or branches of the said revenue only, on which a credit of loan is, or shall be, granted by parliament." And in 1697 it was enacted, that the 44 common capital and principal stock, ami also the real fund of the governor and company, or any profit or produce to be made thereof, or arising thereby, shall be exempted from nny rates, taxes, assessments, or impositions whatsoever, during the continuance of flic Bank; and that all the profit, benefit, and advantage from time to time, arising out of Ibe management of the said corporation, shall be applied to Ihe uses of all the members of the said corporation of the governor and company of the Bank of England, ratcably anil in proportion lo each member's part, share, and interest in Ihe common capital and principal stock of the said governor and company hereby established.'' It was further enacted, in 1697, that the forgery of Ihe company's seal, or of any scaled bill or bank note, should be felony without benefit of clergy, and that fhe making of any alteration or erasure in any bill or note, should also be felony. In 1696, during the great recoinage, the Bank was involved in considerable difficulties, and was even compelled to suspend payment of her notes, which were at a heavy discount. Owing, however, lo the judicious conduct of tlie directors, and the assistance of government, the Bank got over the crisis. But it was at the same time judged expedient, in order to place her ill a situation the better to withstand any adverse circumstances that might afterwards occur, to increase her capital from £ 1,200,000 to £ 2,201,171, lu 1708, the directors undertook to pay off and can- cel one million and a half of Exchequer- bills they had circulated two years before, at four and a half per cent, with the interest on them, amounting in all Bank, incurred considerable danger. Had the mob attacked the establishment at- the . commencement of fhe riots, the consequences might have proved fatal. Luckily, lioiivever, they delayed* their attack till time had been afforded for providing a force sufficient to ensure its safety. Silicc that period a fconsiderable military force is nightly placed in the interior of the Bank, as a protection in any efttergency that tflay occur. ... In the latter part of 1792 anil the beginning of 1793, there was, in consequence of a previous over- issue on their pari, a general run on most of the private banks ; and about one- third of these es- tablishments were forced to stop payment. This led to a considerable demand for coin from the Bank. The year 1797 is, however, the most important epoch in the reccnt history of the Bank. Owing partly lo events connected with the war in which we were then engaged — to loans to flic Emperor of Germany— to bills drawn on Ihe Treasury at home by the British agents abroad— and partly, and chiefly, perhaps, to the advances most unwillingly made by the Bank to government, which prevented the directors from having a sufficient control over their issues, the exchanges became unfavourable in 1795, and in that and the following year large sums in specie were drawn from the Bank. In llie latter end of 1796 and tbe beginning of 1797, considerable ap- prehensions were entertained of invasion, and rumours were propagated of descents having been actually made 011 the coast. Iii consequence of the fears that were thiis exfiiled,' runs were made on the provincial banks iu different parts of the country ; and some of them having failed, the panic became general, and extended itself to London. Demands for cash poured ill upon Hie Bank from all quarters; and 011 Saturday, Hie 25th of February, 1* 797, she had only £ 1,272,000 of casli and bullion i » hef coffers, with every prospect of a violent run taking place ori the following Mon- day. In this emergency art Order in Council was issued 011 Sunday, the 26th, prohibiting the directors from paying their notes" in cash until the sense of parliament had been taken 011 the subject. And after parliament met, itnd tlie measure had been much discussed, it was agreed to continue the re- striction till six months after the signature of a defini- tive treaty of peace. As soon as Ihe Order in Council prohibiting pay. trienls in cash appeared, a meeting of the principal bankers, merchants, traders, & c. of the metropolis vt- as held at Ihe Mansion- house, when a resolution was agreed 16, anil very numerously signed, pledging, as had been done in 1745, those present to accept, and lo use every means in their, power lo cailse Bank notes to be accepted, as cash in all transactions. This resolution tended to allay the apprehensions that the restriction had excited. Parliament being sitting at the lime, a committee Was immediately appointed lo examine the affairs of fhe Bank; ami tlieir report put to rest whatever doubts might have been entertained with respect to the solvency of Ihe establishment, by showing that at the moment when the order in council appeared, Hie Bank was possessed of properly to the amount of £ 15,513,690, after all claims upon it had been de- ducted. Much difference of opinion has existed wilh respect to the policy of the restriction in 1797 ; but consider- ing the peculiar lircttmstanccs under which it took place, its expediency seems abundantly obvious. The run did not originate in any over- issue of Bank ) aper; but grew entirely out of political causes. So long as Ihe alarms of invasion continued, it was clear lhat no Bank paper immediately Convertible info gold would remain in circulation. And as the Bank, itiough possessed of ample funds, was without the means of instantly retiring her notes, she might, but for the interference of government, have been obliged lo stop payment; an event which, had it occurred, must have produced consequences in the last degree fatal to the public interests. after the taste of RubenS we admit— but 110 matter, she was the patron of Mr. Canning. Having gained her, the avenue to power was open. Having lent himself to her intrigues, surrounded as she was by poor relations and Irish recusants, tbey played into each other's hands— she conferring power on the minister, and lie shutting his eyes to those spolia- tions which were making the fortunes of her sous and daughters. Is it suprlsiug, then, that so upright a man as Lord Eldon should withdraw from a minister whose power was founded in such glaring corruption ; or that, having withdrawn; he should draw with him the Dtlke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel ? It was unfortunate for the country that the tories had no other course left to them. No man of honour or character could be a party to such proceedings. What followed was, perhaps, more unfortunate still — the defection of Wellington and Peel^- the mad- ness of the former, and Ihe unpardonable apostacy of the latter. The honest part of the tories were justified in condemning tbe conduct of Mr. Can- ning; and they proved their honesty by censuring, in a still more unqualified manner, the conduct of the apostates. Their silence could not have strengthened Mr. Canning, for it was impossible to act with him ; nor could it have preserved his life, which was embittered, shattered, and destroyed by remorse, and the gnawings of a proud spirit, which felt acutely the humiliating condition to which he had reduced himself by underhand manceuvres and contemptible intrigues, Mr. Canning broke np the conservative party— the party who had made him— and be was severely punished. Sir Robert Peel subsequently disgraced that party, and nearly destroyed it; and he also has had his reward. From the first hour that these shameless intrigues were commenced by Mr. Cunning, England has not enjoyed a single moment's repose. The attempt to divide and annihilate that once powerful party, has brought overwhelming rtliu on the country* Apos- tacy has not only damned its actors and abettors, but it has also lowered the credit and the influence of every public man. It has not only blackened the vile, but thrown suspicion ou the virtuous. It has cot up the great parties who ruled the nation, and acted as balances on each other's conduct, into innumerous small factions,— poor, irritable, nnd discontented and each preying upon the other. It has given rise to petty jarrings, and small jour- neymen debates about gingerbread and pots of beer. It lias made the House of Commons a sort of Mechanics' Institute, where the subjects are, whe. tlier Ibe. porter of a dock- yard, with a wooden leg, should have nine- pence or eleven- pence a day ; or whether Jenny Peel should be 00 the pension list < o the amount of £ 47. 18s. ( id. whije Mary Grey is an infirm spinster, living at the expense of the parish. It has, in fact, brought our modern legis- lators into contempt— made Orator Hunt an 44 Ho- nourable Gentleman,"— and the question of the ballot the only thing palatable among the quacks who want employment, and the wretched labourer who is dying by inches from absolute hunger. In one word, it has done more mischief, than, we fear, the present race of petty- larceny placemen and small- beer politicians are competent to remedy. There is iu the Quarterly, however, one admls. sion which we read w ith uuniingled sorrow, inas- much as it proves that the fi tends of the tonstitution are often its worst enemies. We shall here quote ils own words :— 44 During more than twenty years tli6 Roman Catholics and the pro- catholics and their infidel allies, had incessantly employed the press in aid of their cause ; while their opponents, with the usoal remissness of those who are acting upon the defen- sive, ueglected far loo much this powerful means of acting upon public opinion. There can be no impropriety now in declaring * that this journal was withheld from entering ( as in conformity with its general principles it ought to have done) upon this particular question, by Ihe influence of Mr. Canninq, whose friendship with Mr. Clifford enabled him to exercise such an influence." This is tbe way in which public questions are lost, and public interests frittered away. The shepherd is dosed with an opiate, and he sleeps; the wolf enters, and the flock is destroyed. Such conduct we reluctantly confess is a blot npon the character of Mr. Gifford, and reflects greot discre- dit on the Quarterly. Principle is here sacrificed < 0 private friendship. The minister dictates, and the astute editor naps. The champion of the church drinks his sack wilh his friend ; and the infidel steals his armour and his sword, and em- ploys Ihem against his undefended brethren. Alas! there has been too much of Ihis ; and we fear that at the present moment there are some important questions which Mr. Lockhart is slumbering over iu as fatal security as Mr. Gifford. Of course he, will not be aroused ( ill it is too late.— United Kingdom. PAUAMENTARY REFORM. . HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY.

Tf » e Jhvrnal ( It Debate of Saturday has pub- lished the annual report made by the Directors of the Bank of France to the shareholders, at a meeting which was held by them on the 27th ult. The Duke: de Gaette, Governor of the Bank, opened the busi- ness of the day by a summary account of the affairs of the Bank, and informed the shareholders that two 6f its late Directors, M. Lafitte and ftf. Vassal, having resigned— the former on account of his acceptance of the office of Minister of Finance^ and the latter on aiccount of his recent commercial misfortunes— M. Audenet and M. La fond have been appointed to till the vacancies created by thosfe resignations. The auditors' detailed report was then read, from which it appears that the amount of discounts in 1830 have beeu as follows : — Amount discounted. Yielding-; Francs. Francs.

The Quarterly Review, just published^ contains an article on the " Moral and Political State of the Empire, which, bating a little dnlness, and a pcdantic pprinkling' of obscure and nearly obsolete phrases, is cleverly written, and abounds with information. The attack upon Sir Robert Peel, considering: the quarter wheuce it comes,, is one of the most severe which has yet been made upon that apostate Statesman iu any of the journals of the day. He is not only charged with * ins of omission and commission, but made Responsible also for the sins of others. On his poor head alone are poured the vials of wrath for granting Catholic emancipation. The Duke of Wellington is excused on the ground that beinjr a soldier all his life he was totally ignorant of the subject, and incapable of giving a reason either for or against the measure* The other members of the cabinet are not even named— Lord Lyndhurst is forgotten-~- these being considered merely as tools to whom the right of thought and speech was altogether denied. Sir Robert has to bear the braud, the whole shame, the exclusive curse. He, as the acknowledged champion of the Protestants, is charged with having betrayed the cause— with having used arguments iu favour of the bill which he had him- self again and again refuted— with having yielded to fear what he had resisted from conviction— and with having sacrificed to dastardly expediency, and the meanest and paltriest shifts of policy, not only his own professed principles, but the Consti- tution itself. In short, such a eastigation, such a kicking, such a knout ing never did helpless devil receive before. ' j,,- , » ; Unfortunately for George the Fourth, he had all the weakness, and perhaps more than a common share of the weakness of humanity. He was sur- rounded in the shades of Windsor by an enchant- ress, the wife of another man, who ruled with all the majesty of a queen; who dispensed favours profusely; who, in the habiliments of an abbess, disposed of mitres like a pope; and who, deeming coronets scarce worthy of her patronage, aspired to the power of making ministers of state, and in a n u fae t u r i ng cabinets. To this artful and sordid enchantress Mr. Canning paid his court. She was the guardiau angel— one Total discounts 617,493,733 Total profit - 1,021,068 In 1829, the total amount discounted was 434,303,234 francs, which yielded 2,585,553 profit, being 1,435,515 francs less than this year. This difference is reported as the consequence of the great Commercial distress which has prevailed in France Since the month of August last, and the readiness with which the Bank has been indticed to afford all the relief that was compatible with the security of its 6wn interests, and allowed by its statutes. But, notwithstanding all the caution that could be used, losses have been unavoidable, and the profit and loss account stands debited for the first half- year in 33,830 francs, and for the second half- year in 750,000 francs. The auditors allude to the advances lately made to the house of Jacques I^ fitte* and Co. and express the fullest confidence in the adequacy of the security received from tbe loan ; they assure the shareholders that by thus contributing to uphold that eminent house, " they had saved from ruin not only itself, but an immense number of individuals and establishments throughout France,, whose existence depended entirely on its solvency. The greatest amount of Rank notes in circulation last year has been 238,000,000, and the lowest amount 212,000,000 of francs. On the 1st, of January, 1830* the number of shareholders was 3,631, and on the 31st of the following December it had increased to 3,681. Dur- ing that space 5,300 shares changed hands by sale, and 2,562 shares in consequence of the death of 93 holders. The result of this movement exhibits a dividend of 42 francs per share for the first six months of the year, and of 43 francs per share for the subsequent six months, making the annual dividend of 1830 amount to 85 francs, besides reserves of 12| francs per share. In the whole of 1829, the divi- dends amounted to 64 francs, and the reserves to 2 francs per share. The increase of profit last year has therefore been of 21 francs. i$ U0cellaneoii0 BntelUgencc* Many amusing scenes were exhibited in the height of the late demand for gold at the banks of Limerick. The country people were of course the urgent and almost only applicants. One of the lads in the bank, seizing a fire- shovel, which was red- hot in a coal- fire, brought out a lot of sovereigns on the burning metal, and threw them on the bank counter. The country fellows stared with surprise at the daz- zling spectacle, and their astonishment was increased when the clerk exclaimed, in a quick voice, u Here, boys, here they are; easy, and we'll coin enough of them for you." The peasantry, whose eyes spread upon the shining heap, actually imagined there was a mint in full work at the bank, and it was funny to see them dropping the heated sovereigns, which, in an instant before, they fingered with the cupidity of a miser.— Limerick Chronicle• 1782 hyMr. Pitt negalived by 20 1782 Mr. SawbHdge. ditto 88 1783 Mr. Pitt ditto 144 V? 85 Ditto ...... ditto 75 1790 Mr. Flood....... withdrawn 1793 Mr. Grev, ntiw the Preinief negatived by 241 1797 Ditto....! u. i ditto 105 1800 Ditto ditto 142 1809 S, ir F.

The retirement of Ihe venerable and learned Lord who has so long dignified that high office, it is stated, may, in consequence of his Lordship's age and increasing infirmities, be shortly expected. MARCH OF THE MUSES— Nothing is done now. a- days as in the times of our forefathers. A gentle- man, the other day, wishing to recommend a Patient to an Hospital, at a place not 100 miles from Staf- ford, addressed a note to the House- SurgeOu as follows:— 44 A poor Irishman, on his way, In a case llot admitting delay : So give him, I pray yon, a pill, And a blister and salve if you will.'* The apothecary attended to these instructions, and replied thus :— 44 To the Irishman I have given A pill to compose him, this even ; And a blister and salve, os desired— This was all, I believe, you required.' SINGULAR PHENOMENON.— Before the Artesian wells were iu use, the inhabitants of Tliairi, in Savoy, wishing to procure water, dug, in 1825, a well in that commune. They could not find a suffi ciently abundant source for their wants ; but in de- fault of water, this well, by a curious singularity, exhibits all the variations 6f the atmosphere, and almost obviates the necessity of a barometer to in- dicate the weather. If the vicinity of Thairi is menaced with hail, or snow, an impetuous wind rushes like a torrent, which carries with it stones and pieces of rock, and the wind lasts as long as the snow or hail is likely to fall, and indicates the quantity. When this wind ceases, after a slight breeze, a south- east wind is aboot to manifest it- sell". When the wind rushes from it suddenly, in a single gust and with violence, it indicates an ap proaching storm. When the weather is fine, and the north wind dominates, the well is tranquil, and the air is in a state of stagnation. Several natural ists, attracted by these marvellous effects, have sought lo- explain the cause of them; and the academical bodies and men of science at Turin Chamberri, and Grenoble, have visited the spot and by various experiments, established the fact that the well possesses the properties here attributed to it .— La Vol cur. ACOUSTIC CHAIR.— The science of acoustics, ii a practical point of view, has been strangely neg- lected in this country, and, in fact, in modern times generally. The ancients appear to have been better acquainted with the doctrine of sounds, and to have applied it to more useful purposes, than ourselves ; for we learn that Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, had a cavern excavated in a rock, the shape of the human ear, ( which is of coorse best adapted for the reception and transmission of sounds,) in which he confined his state prisoners, and by tubes leading from it to his chamber, he was able to catch even their softest whisper, and thus to discover their designs, & c. This idea seems to have been lost sight of tltl now, when a well known aurist has invented a chair, with an acoustic barrel and tubes, something on the principle of the Invisible Girl, for the benetfi of the deaf, and for old persons who are hard of hearing, and who, while sitting in it at tlieir leisure, may hear con- versation or reading in a low tone of voice, carried on by an individual in any part of the room. By means of pipes, also, a person whispering in a dis- tant apartment can be distinctly heard. We have ourselves been seated in it, and were astonished at the ease with which we distinguished the different voices of those engaged in conversation in an under lone, and also a tune played by a small tftusical box ( which was as audible as if it had been standing on a table before us), in a room separated by a hall, & c. from the one in which the chair is placed. Upon the whole, we consider this invention as one of Ihe most ingenious applications of the principles of acoustics with which we are acquainted,— l. ondon Paper. VOLCANOES.— With regard to the nature and theory of volcanoes, which have hitherto battled Ihe inquiries of all the most eminent philosophers in Europe, Dr. Paris remarks :— 44 A short time before Sir Humphry Davy quitted England, to which he was destined never to return, he commu- nicated lo the Royal Society a paper 4 on the Phenomena of Volcanoes,' which was read on the 20th March, 1828, and published in the transactions of that year. The object of this memoir was to collect and record the various observations and experiments which he had made on Vesuvius during his several visits to that volcano. It was a point of great Importance to determine, whether any com- bustion was going on at the moment tbe lava issued from the mountain ; but this fact being once disco- vered, and the nature of the combustible matter ascertained, we should gain an immense step towards a just theory of the source of volcanic action. For this purpose he carefully examined both the lava and the elastic fluids with which it was accompanied. He was unable, however, to detect any thing like deflagration with nitre, which must have taken place had the smallest quantity of caibouaceous matter been present; nor could he, by exposing the ignited mass to portions of atmo- spheric air, discover that any appreciable quantity of oxygen had been absorbed. Oil immersing fused lava in water, no decomposition of that fluid fol- lowed ; so that there could not have existed any quantity of the metallic bases of the earths or alkalies. Common salt, chloride of iron, the sul- phates and muriates of potash and soda, generally constituted the mass of solid products; while steam, muriatic acid fumes, and occasionally sul- phureous acid vapours, formed the principal elastic matters disengaged. He concludes this paper on volcanoes," says Dr. Paris, 44 with some observa- tions on the theory of their phenomena ; in which he remarks, 4 It is almost demonstrable that none of the chemical causes anciently assigned for the volcanic fires can be true. Among these, the com- bustion of mineral coal is one of the most current; but it seems wholly inadequate lo account for the phenomena. However large the stratum of pit- coal, its combustion under the surface could never pro- duce violent and excessive heat; for the production of carbonic acid gas, where there was no free circu- lation of air, must tend constantly to impede the process; and it is scarcely possible that carbon- aceous matter, if such a cause existed, should not be found in the lava, and be disengaged with the saline or aqueous products, from the bocca, or craters. There are many instances in England of strata of mineral coal which have been long burn- ing, but the results have been merely baked clay and schists; audit has produced no results similar lo lava.... On Ihe hypothesis of a chemical cause for volcanic fires, and reasoning from known facts, there appears to me no other adequate source than the oxidation of the metals which form the basis of Ihe earths and alkalies; but it must not be denied, that considerations derived from therino- metrieal experiments on the temperature of mines and of sources of hot water render it probable, that the interior of the globe possesses a very high temperature: and the hypothesis of the oucleus of the globe being composed of fluid matter, offers a still more simple solution of the phenomena of volcanic fires than that which has been just de- veloped .'" CONVERSATION.— The first ingredient in convers- ation is truth; the next, good sense; the third, good humour; and the fourth, wit.— Sir IV . Temple. convicts at the late special commissions ! Mr. Hunt's long speech provoked an equally long speech MI reply from Mr. Benelt, of Wilts, with speeches of no despicable dimensions from Mr. George Lamb and the Attorney- General. The best that can be hoped from this discussion, which closed in a divi- sion of two hundred and sixty- nine against two ( Mr. Hunt being half the units), is that the member for Preston, has not made Ihe case of his unlucky clients the worse by his interference. After this tedious and rather serious affair was disposed of, Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON amused the House with one of the pleasantest little capriccjos lately exhibited. The hon. member commenced by a censOfe upon 44 the cut of a certain courtier's smile, vVhleh liked him not." He then embarked in a dialogue with Ihe Speaker, which seemed to ter- minate unsatisfactorily enough on both sides. Finally, after a most pompous, furious, and pn- mcaning speech, he addressed himself to the sub- jects of his motion, which concerned Ihe repeal of the Union; the distress of the Irish people; the snow with which he said the sister island is clad, to the thickness of five feet; and the garments of another colouf, which invest the person of Sir Charles Wetherell. Lord Ai. TnOnt*, in answer to that part of the tnember fof Clare's speech which regarded ( he epeal of tlie Unions declared his determination to resist such a measure, to the extent of wac itself; And the declaration was deceived by the house in a manner which fully demonstrated that the members pfesent cordially concurred in it. Mr. LEADER vindicated Ihe conduct of the Irish agitators; Sir ROBERT PEEL avowed his entire concurrence ith the government in its proceedings against Mr. ' Conhell, and ascribed the agitation in Ireland to the effect of the French and Belgian revolutions. Sir Francis Burdettj Sir Charles Wetherell, Lord Palmerston, and Mr. T. Wyse, took Sir Robert Peel's view of the subject, and Ihe matter ended in the grant, by consent, of certaiu papers moved for by Mr; O'Gorman Atahon. In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr. Slaney gave notice of his intention to move, on the 24th of March, for the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the necessity of securing open spaces in the immediate vicinity of large- and populous towns fitted to preserve health and afford means of exercise to the working classes!' CAUTION to PROPRIETORS OF BEER HOUSES.— On Friday, James Maggs, a retailer of beer, living in Bath, was summoned before the Mayor and Ma-, gistrates of that city, for refusing to find quarters for some soldiers of the 3d tegiment of Foot Guards. He waS, in consequence, fined in the sum of 40s. and Costs ; the present Act rendering all retailers of beer liable to provide accommodation far soldiers. The chemists employed by the Board of Exciso have been for some time engaged in a course of experiments for the discovery of a test by which the presence of any deleterious mixtures in malt liquors might be detected, and have, it is stated, been completely successful. A few drops of the test liquor, it is said, will be sufficient ( o discover any adulteration. The scientific gentlemen by Whom this important discovery has been made, are also said to be engaged in a series of experiments for ( he discovery of a similar test for spirits. , EXPENSES OF WITNESSES.— Notwithstanding the revision of the scale of allowances to witnesses attend* ing criminal courts, those allowances still, it appears, furnish an incitement to prosecute. A Middlesex grand juryman recently handed to a magistrate the following remarks, which had occurred to him and some of llis colleagues, while serving on the jury in December last:— 44 Nearly 500 bills were brought before us, involving, on the average of three witnesses on each bill, the attendance of 1500 persons for one, two, or more days, as the case might happen, whilst the subject matter charged, as respected a very large proportion of ( hem, was not of the value of iOs.; a great number of 2s. or 3s. only, and some less than that; or the assaults of so trifling, not to say con- temptible nature, as to make the machinery of— first, a police- office examination, secondly, a grand jury bill, and thirdly, a trial in court on indictment, appear a most useless and expensive misapplication of valuable time, and trouble, in the persons of magistrates, jurymen, policemen, witnesses, and others. The attendance of the grand jury— which, though properly at the service of the county for the ends of public justice, yet should not be unnecessarily re- quired, was thereby extended to eight or nine days; and I assure you we thought that the witnesses in some of the cases that then came before us, seemed to like being employed in that way so well, as to give them a direct interest in getting up, or at least encouraging, petty and contemptible charges, as, whatever might be the final result, ( hey were almost sure of being well paid for idleness, not to mention the odierwise injurious tendency of such a mode of spending their time." A Charter, which now only awaits the Royal signature, is to be granted to the University of London, bestowing on this establishment ail the privileges and powers at present enjoyed by tbe most favoured of our universities, the granting degrees ill theology alone, for the present, being excepted. In compensation for which privation the University of Loudon is lo be enabled to grant newly- invented degrees of Master of Medicine and Surgery, in addition lo those better known, of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Medicine.— Difficulties have been presented by the charter of Ihe King's College not affording a prece- dent for liie granting of degrees, but these have been overcome by tbe zeal of the founders and patrons of the University, who, in possession of the power afforded by their high official stations of favouring an establishment in which they have n deep interest, have exerted themsetves promptly and vigorously on its behalf. Some jealousy is felt at these proceedings by the two great universities of Oxford and Cambridge: and to this feeling is added, on the parts of the Scotch universities, more especially Edinburgh nnd Glasgow, great dissatis- faction at the injury threatened to thein as Schools of medicine. TUB LORD CHANCELLOR.— A periodical publica- tion, entitled the Law Magazine, gives the follow- ing statement as a true history of Mr. Brougham's elevation to the Peerage and the Woolsack :— 44 Oil the night the late Ministry were beaten on the civil list, a meeting of Ihe principal Whigs look place, at which the present Chancellor was not invited to attend. At this meeting,' however, il was almost immediately resolved that the with- drawal of his reform motion was' necessary ; and Mr. VV. Cavendish ( Ibe intended seconder) wu » deputed lo request his concurrence. He indig- nantly refused, aud under, it is presumed, a bitter sense of his party's distrust, made his firsl. declar- ation in the house, that no change of ministry could possibly affect him. On the following morning ( the 17th), a letter, containing an offer of the Attorney- Generalship, was brought him. This he tore to pieces in the presence of the messenger, saying Ihere was no answer; and the same evening he made his second declaration in the ho, use— 4' l speak wilh all respect of any future ministry, bul l hav. nothing to do with them but to respect " them. I speak this for the information of those who may feel- an interest in the matter.' T he Chancellorship was subsequently tendered, and after some slight hesitation, accepted." THE 44 LATITAT FAMILY."— A correspondent cal- culates, from official documents, the number of bar- risters at 1132, whose fees constitute nearly 25 p « r cent, of Ihe whole expenses of law suits; conveyancers and pleaders, 142; country attorneys, 9342; l. ondon attorneys, 2732 ; total number of 44 gentlemen learned in the law" in England and Wales, 13,348, being 453 more than there were on the 1st of January, 18311. For Ihe ten years ending in 1830, the attorneys paid iu duties on articles of clerkship, admissions, anil yearly certificates, nearly one million one hundred thousand pounds sterling!— Morning Herald.
