An enthusiastic devotion to the sacred cause of freedom is the prevailing characteristic of | these lyrical effusions, occasionally varied by the Softer strains of love, and of early and local associations. It is well calculated, both hy its contents aud its outward appearance, to claim a prominent station on the table | of ihe boudoir."— Gloucester Journal. u The following spirited ode is extracted from a little volume, just published, under the title of 4 Bri- tish Melodies,' by T.

Lord JOHN Rtnitu, 011 presenting a petition from Evesham for Parliamentary Refufin, took ocea sion tp rejnarU that lie did not now tfffach the import- ance ( 6 the- transfer of franchises which he formerly did; and staled ( in reply to an inquiry hy General Giisrnjno, whether his l. tml- Iiip would, on the 1st of March, proceed l> y hill or resolutions) that his motion would he fe. r leave ! o bring in a bill to amend the rcpresenf. atioit.. The IVlarijiiis of CfiAtiiios then said that the evidence adduced respecting the. Corrupt state of the franchise in the borough of. Evesham, demanded immediate cotisiileMion, and he thought th, e House ought . not to Kait for the motion of March I. His Lord hip Couelit'led by moving ( hat the corrupt state of that borough d. mantled the immediate consider- ation of the house. Lord ALTHORP and Lord J. RTWTU larfienfed < t> » t the. Niible, Lord would not, wait, for fhfc result of Tiie Reform motion ; but added that tbe?> buld not oppose ( he Noble Marquis's propositiori. I ord JOHN ItiJisn. L further remarked, that tiie correction of borough . corriiptiinis, bv transferring them to popu. hitis tow hs, Ivnuld no longcr.'& itisfy the people, and tl. al Ihey had been disgusted with. fhe Fast Retford kflhir. There was a growing demand for Reform, which such limited plans would not allay. Sir I!. PEEI, supported the inquiry now demanded, hi < 1 said that the notice of an individual member who intended fo bring forward some motion for KefAriii Might. nhl to delay judicial inquiry into corruptions. SirCi FORK, g Opposed the inquiry as ( inWairrant- alile and partial. There was to he inquiry info the case of Evesham, because the cUmip'ion bad been found out; if fhe House acted justly, why uot in- quire inlo all the boroughs where corruptions notori ously existed. '/ lie motion was nlfmislely adopted. The Report of the Committee of Ways and Means, and Ihe Report of'the Exci e Acts, were brought up, read, and agreed Id. On . tfie Report ofthe Customs Acts fieing brought up ( the preliminary proceedings fur bills to carry into effect the proposals of the budget), much conversation took place 011 the con- templated changes in the taxation, particularly 011 the proposed . tax on Meam Packets and Ihe duties on Cape Wine— Lord ALTHORP intimated that the proposed lax on steam packets would undergo some ftiodiflcatinn, particularly as it regarded sliort dis. lances. His Lordship at Ihe same time added lhat ihe tax could not be considered unjust, when all lain! carriages were subject to taxation. The Noble Lord also said, that an alteration would take place with respect to fhe duly 011 Cape wine. Instead of raising the Cane trine to fhe same duty as other wines, it i- nuld he raised only to 2s Oil. a gallon for the next two years.— T he resolutions were then agtecd to, aud a bill ordered to he brought in. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in presenting petifions from Edinburgh and Glasgow praying for Reform, fonk occasion to express his most cordial approbation the plan which, afler very mature deliberation, and a" fer ' he fullest and most anxious inquiry, had re- ceived the support, of all the confidential servants of the crown ; and in support of which, he added, they were determined to persevere as firnriy as in support tifutiv icsolufion which could'demand their attention. The plan, although intended to be bi'otight forward by Ihe Paymaster of the Forces ( Lord John Russell), was to all intents and purposes that of the govern- ment. Their Lordships on rising adjourned until Momlav. ' HOUSE OF COMMONS— FKIDAY. .. The Marquis of CitANnos brought in his bill fo disfranchise the borough of Evesham, and to enable fhe town of Birmingham to return two members fo parliament. Afler considerable discussion the hill w as read a first time, and ordered for its second read- ing on Monday, March 7. Mr. D BUOWNF., member for Mayo, in presenting some petitions relative to the condition uf the popula- tion of that part of Ireland, observed, that for want of employment many thousand persons on fhe western coast of lhat. country were iu a state of complete starvation. The pofatoe crop had failed, Ihe stock was almost exhausted, anil for ( lie next three or four months the want of food would he most severely felt. To obviate, if possible, the dreadful consequences to • be apprehended from fhis state of tilings, the hnn. member suggested 1111 immediate grant of £ 200,000, One- fourth of which should be at once distributed gratuitously, and tbe remainder applied to the prose- cution of some public works.— Mr. STANLEY bore testimony to the truth of the representation of the hori. gentleman, adding that the two baronies more particularly referred to, were in a condition very 1 ittto short of actual famine. Ministers he admitted were bound lo make some provision for such an extreme ease, and to mitigate tile evil as far as they consistently I'nuld do so. He was sorry to be obliged to acknow- ledge that a great, deal of the existing distress was owing to the landlords thertl. telves; they had not, come forward as they ought fo have done. It was not consistent with the duty of government fo recom- mend a gratuitous contribution towafds the relief of local distress; but. Ministers were prepared to submit a proposition fo advance large shins of irtoney upon pfhper Seci'irifii'si for the purpose of promoting useful public works. He also felt assured that an appeal to the charity uf the British people oh behalf of Ihe Buffering poor of Ireland would not he made in vain. A notice relative fo the Army Estimates gave oc- casion to a discussion of sliine lengtli'on the increase of the army, and the foreign policy of the country, in the course of which Mr. Huns reproached ministers with having failed in some of Iheir pledges on accept- ing otlice, by not reducing the expenditure, and not abstaining from interfering with the affairs of otlv- r states.— ljird I'AI. M 1 RSTON, in reply, defended the foreign policy of the government, and justified the determination of ministers to complete Ihe peace establishment of the country, a slep that was rendered liy circumstiinccs absolutely necessary. and Bande, M. Lafitte said with vehemence from Ihe centre, that ."( lie government was sirong — stronger than the chamber, and would prove it when neces- sary." This declaration excited tenfold confusion, and the Ministers soon afterwards withdrew. The Belgian Deputies had their audience of the King on Thursday, when his Majesty delivered fo Ihern his positive refusal of the Crown of Belgin'm lor Ihe Duke of Nemours. ' Ihe private Communications are likewise of great interest. The Ministry are quite out of fnVoirt w ith the National Guard, and a portion of them' have petitioned the Chamber to prefer, an accusation against M M. Monfalivet, Bathe, and Battle. It is supposed that ap immediate change must be llie result. Soult and Lafitte, it is added, will form part of the new ministry, though the lalter is not expected to make a stand long. Lafayette, it is thought, will take office in the new administration'. The war party is evi- dently gaining strength,' notwithstanding the efforts of the present cabinet to Convince the public of the advantages of peace. Accounts from Turin, received at Paris, state that an insurrection had taken place in the Grand Duchy ot Modena., and that the insurgents had established a regular government. O11 quitting Modena, the Grand Duke, gave up his authority to a Council of Regency; biit the armed peasantry having marched 011 the town, the regency soon took to flight. The Grand Duke retired to Mantua, whither he conducted Moneto, the chief of the conspiracy, whose house was stormed hy the troops, after a bloody defence. The revolution of Bologna, has quietly extended throughout R6- magna. The provincial government is ill the hands of the most respectable citizens of the country. All is quiet in Lombard}', where none of the Austrian troops have as yet made a movement, and the same tranquillity prevails in Piedmont. An express from Berlin, dated the 101b inst brings information of the entry of the Russians into Poland, on the 2d and 3d instant, in three places— namtly, Merecy, Alexotin, and Prenn. On the 5th instant a division of Russians was at Sgakie, lint no attempt at resistance had been made. The Warsaw papers of the 5th announce that the Cossacks had passed the frontier at a point much nearer Warsaw, in the neighbourhood of Beyese- Sitewski, 011 the Bug, in Lithuania. There is a report of an insurrection having taken place in Lisbon. A Spanish newspaper, called the Mercntio, pub- lished at.

LAW OF ARREST.— In Ilie Court of King's Bench, last week, it was decided that no person, in Cheshire or in Wales, can be arrested by process out of the Courts of Westminster, for a debt under fifty.. pounds. This is one of the beauties of Sir James Scarlett's anomalous bill. After the above decision it may be a question w hether any debts in Wales can be recovered under fifty pound.', as by the Welsh Judicature, bill the defendant would lie entitled to a judgment as in case of nonsuit, if the plaintiff proceeded against him in any of the Courts of Westminster for any sum less than fifty pounds.

At a lale hour on Saturday letters and papers of Thursday's date were received express from Paris. Their contents are of great moment, and another Crisis is evidently at hand. The Gazette de France, of Friday's date, also received, says— " lint for the National Guards, the Republic would have been proclaimed yesterday. Such an one as would have commenced in the devastation of the church s, the tearing down of the cross, and violence against the clergy. We must say the re- publican movement has gained ground in these latter days; for they have delivered up to it the insignia of religion and the emblems 01 royalty." The Minister of thf Interior officially addressed the Etat Major of the National Guard 011 Thursday, slating ( hat it was the intention of a number of young men 011 lhat day tn collect the multitudes of the I'auxbourgs, and, assembling in arms at the Gardens of flic Luxembourg, to endeavour to proclaim a Republic; and iti consequence the chiefs de legion immediately called upon the officers of battalions and companies fo take Ihe necessary measures to prcvtnt disorder. This letter of M. de Mont divel is pretty decisive as to the natute and progress of the uioveinenit which has manifested itself The King reviewed several battalions of the national guard, ami detachments of the tine a oil of cavalry in the Place < le Carousel, 011 the same morning, and as they defiled before him lie addressed them, earnestly intrearing them to second his endeavours to put an end to the agitations. On Wednesday the country t- oaiilence of the Archbishop of Paris was visited by tile- Blob: he was fortunately absent. His furniture ! ind picture* " ere destroyed, but bis house was saved from liamolition by tlte arrival of detachments of the national ( guard. On the sinie day the cross, and stone having.) Heurs de lis at its angles, were removed from the clwicta Saint Marguerite; and Ihe has relief jaod royal emUlenw over the arch of the Carousel aud other iwWdc buildings, were removed by order of Ihe authorities. The- Chamber of Deputies assembled Thursday, and a tUtrmy discussion ar. se. The Ministers were prevented by clamour from making explanations in reply to charges against them, and after some ineffectual attempts by M. de Montalivct From Blaheway'x Sheriffs of Shropshire. Richrtrd Lyster was elected Representative of the town of Shrewsbury in the Parliament of 1721, but after having enjoyed his seat during the two sessions of Parliament, was declared unduly elected, hy a vote of the House of Commons, April 9, 1723. It is. no calumny upon tile third estate nf the realm to^ leclare, that as long as the House of Commons reserved to itself a judgment of the validity of elections, ils de- risions were not models of equity: every thing was, at that time, biassed by parly. The Administration with the majority of Parliament were Whigs; Mr. Lester was at the head of the Tories of Shropshire; and the . pretence for displacing hi in was a plea, that the Abbey Foregate, in which his interest greatly preponderated, was not included within the voting liberties, though it had enjoyed that privilege for many vears. When the House decided against Mr. Lyster, he is related tn have put 011 his hat, turning his back 011 the Speaker: and on several members calling to order, he. looking round, wifli a firm and indignant tone said, " When you learn jtistie'e', I will learn manners." The same zealous members proposed, lhat he should be brought to the bar of the House for this affront; but Sir Robert Walp ile. with his characteristic good humour, repressed their warmth, saying to tho^ e about him, " Let him go, he has been hardly enough used." Mr. Lyster was re- elected to the Parliament of 1727 by an undisputed . majority.; but at the election of 1734, the returning Officer, who. as well as the Corporation ill general, was in the Whig interest, rejecting the votes of those who had gained their freedom by servi- tude, prevented the success of Mr. Lyster. I11 1740, lie w'as raised to the honourable distinction of Knight of the Shire, in the room of Corbet Kynaston, deceased, and retained his scat in the four succeeding parliaments, till his death in 17( iG. His parliamentary career com- prised ( wilh the exception above- mentioned) the un- usual period of l'orty- five years, and he is still remem- bered in this count v hy the famibar appellation of the Senator. The establishment of Mr. Lyster was ad- ministered upon ti e most ample sea'e of ancient Engl sh hospitality: one day in the week- his table was open to every class of his constituents, from the veiy . highest to the lowest of those who could with propriety appear at il,— and there are a few still living who can speak lo the copious potations of ale at those convivial meetings. His progress to London to attend ihe duties of parlia- ment, in which he is described to have been very assiduous, had somewhat of the feudal cast, and may liot be unamusing as a picture of manners now obsolete. He travelled in his coach and six, and was a week upon the road: bis principal tenants and tradesmen accom pinying him as far as Wat ling- St reel, where they were entertained at his expense. At Higbgate he was met liv a select body of his London tradesmen, and thus ushered to his . town house,. iti Bow- Street, Covent- Garden: and the same ceremonies were repeated on his return into Shropshire.

If!! dloiv- s\% lh Febrmriji 1831. [ Frorft, the Bristol Jovrrtal ] Our comment* last week upon thfe acts of the new Ministry were chiefly Confined to their propositions upon the Civil List ; and if their friends in particular, and the country generally, were disappointed on t . is head, fhey are tenfold more so at the disclosure of the Budg » t of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. As to Lord Althorp, we believe he means well—- that lie is; the straight- forward, kind, and confiding friend, he is every where represented IO be. But these are" not flie qualities which the country demands from the individual who tak"* upon himself the important financial situation of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer of a kingdom, w hich has to raise £ 501( H! 0J000 of faxes annually, to cover the interest of a debt unparall- led in the annals of history, and to defray a State expenditure of equal magnitude. Lord Al- thcrp's studies in his chambers in the Albany, when preparing for a set speech to oppose a Ministry, were, we apprehend he finds by this time, not exactly those which will enable him to combat ihe . official experience and knowledge of his predecessors, any more than they have fitted him for Ihe situation which he has assumed Our opinion of his Lordship, drawn from the specimens he has hitherto exhibited in his speeches in fhe House is, that Itts want of official information and tact upon niereanfjle, and £ ven the c > mmOn routine of financial affairs, v suchj that if is impossible he can support his station through the present. Session. Experience he evidently has none— and from his own confession, he seeks it. not from those sources fo which an enlightened states- man ttould naturally tesort. That he was infected with the principles of fhe economists and the bullion- ists we were aware; but we did not think, til! the f. ut is now Clearly ascertained, that, his oracle of information is that youthful sciolist, and disciple of Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Poulett Thomsoh, and that the noble Viscount condescends to seek for information only from this self- interested arid superficial mentor. S > crude, untenable, and impracticable a budget of taxes was, we believe, never before presented to Parliamen; ; to say nothing: of the violations of public faith which it Contained, it. may be creditable to a private individual, and iu some instances it may be so to a statesman, to acknowledge and renounce an error. But the present Budget is so entire a 4Tra gedy of Errors/ ( to reveise the usual title) such a specimen of ' Legislation gone astray1— tnat was never before exhibited in the most infatuated antl blundering days of any Whig Administration. We have not yet received a report from a member of any of the numerous deputations that have waited upon the Noble Viscount to state the grievances to which his measures will subject them. His reasonings and replies to the practical men to whom he must give audiences will be highly amusing. Sir Oracle may, perhaps, assist him a little in the Baltic trade ; but upon his Poll Tax on Steam Passengers}— his cool effrontery in set! ing aside an Act of Parliament, which secured the duty on Cape Wines at 2s 5d per gallon till the 1st of January, 1833—' and after that at only 3s. per gallon;— and now raising it to 5s. 6d or perhaps it may turn out that he was as ignorant of this act, as he appears to have been of that w hich Sir Robert Peel brought forward, expressly stating, that no stamp duty should be imposed on the transfer or sale of Stock;— how his Lordship will combat these and a hundred other unanswerable and shrewd objections he will have to contend against, we are at a loss to conceive; for except the remission of the Coal duty, there is not another item in his Budget that he will not have to alter and amend— even in the trivial subject of lowering the duties affecting Advertisements, he has shewn that he has consulted with no experienced or practical man. We will defy h'm to levy his duty of Is. for every ten line ad vertisement, without causing eternal disputes and endless modes of evasion. The Stamp Ollice Com- missioner, the mere desk Clerk, was no more the competent person to advise on this head, than was the Director of the Bank of England, or the Chair- man of the London Custom House, ou the practica- bility of levying a transfer duty, or collecting a poll tax. Each of these public officers could easily give an opinion upon the facility and the mode of collect- ing a fax, when imposed ; but they were not the men to he consulted, or alone consulted, upon the opera- tion which taxes would have upon the trades or individuals that have to pay them. Who were the Minister's advjsers in the remission of the duty on Glass, we know not; but strange as it may appear at first sii » ht, the hour its announcement became known to Proprietors of Glass Works, they immediately determined upon stopping their houses— the under- standing being, that there was to be no return of duty for the manufactured stock on hand, except the usual drawback upon exportation— and any one at all acquainted with the state of the Glass Trade for the last few years, must know that no manufacturer can export for any thing like a reasonable profit — and the immense stock that is now on hand, owing lo the master's unwillingness at. all times to incur the enormous expense of extinguishing and relighting a firr, and the reluctance to dischatge his workmen, has accumulated fo such an extent, that the proposed remission of duty must have ruined the most opulent of the manufacturers. Some wise senator alsC observed, that the remission of the duty <> n sea borne Coals would benefit the Glass Manufacturer!! in what, manner he did not condescend to inform fhe House: being ignorant, no doubt, that all our Glass Houses are established only where there is coal upon the spot, already free from duty— and in many instances the pits themselves being the property of the manufacturer. Look at Nailsea, for instance, in our own neighbourhood—- But. we are sick of ex- po- ing the policy of such financiers. — One of the London Prints informs us, that Lord Althorp was once objected to by Mr. Herries and . Mr. Huskisson, as Chairman ofa Finance Committee; by the former on account of his hostility to a sinking fund— by the latter on account of his financial ignorance. " 1 expressed my doubts," said the latter in his'speeeh on the 18th of February, 18* 28, 4> how far the industry and talents of the Noble Member had been especially directed to such objects as would qualify him for presiding over a Committee of that nature." For the sake of influence on party grounds, Mr. Huskisson afterwards waived his objections, but the event has proved how well that acute statesman took the mea- sure of Lord Althorp's abilities. " But is Lord Althorp to blame for this Budget of errors," a* ks the same Print ? Certainly not— he has been no more than what the Portuguese call jiao de cape/ lo— a barber's block, on which Mr. Poulett Thomson has laid his hand, and used it for his own experimental purposes. The dress came from Sir Henry Parnell's volume on Finance, and Mr. Poulett Thomson ar- ranged it art captanduni. [ From the Manchester Chronicle'] The financial expose of the Chancellor of the Exchequer supersedes in point of interest and im- portance every other subject of national considera- tion, and really furnishes abundant grounds tor the most grave attention. It is obvious that the Ministry are anxious to acquire popularity by the abolition or reduction of some of the taxes; but in our opinion they will not long maintain tlie character ofa wise or prudent Administration if they continue to act with the same inconsiderateness and rashness which they have displayed in the Budget. We are not so un- reasonable as to suppose that the imposition of taxes will ever be received by the nation with perfect and unmixed cordiality; but the history of the country affords numerous proofs of the comparative ieadiuess of Ihe people to submit to taxation, if equitably distributed, and when the real . wants of the State require it. Lord Althorp proposed in the first instance to reduce eight distinct items of taxation : one of these he has since been compelled to keep; another, is so crude and unsatisfactory as to call for extensive modification ; antl a third he, is also under the necessity of retaining. Among fhe six items of taxes which he proposed to atid, there is one on cotton, which it ie distinctly proved would be utterly ruinous to the trade which is called upon to pay it; another is precisely of the same description ; and two others ale abandoned ! Whoever heard of so lamentable a piece of legislation as this, excepting the loose and straggling propositions of the notorious Whig Ministry in 1806? It would seem that Lord Althorp had hardly bestowed a single day's con- sideration to the important alterations which he has propounded to the nation, and that none^ of the mercantile, manufacturing, or commercial interests which some of his measures threaten most seriously to affect, were in the sHghte » t degree consulted. The Ministerial measures appear to have been concoct' d in the closet at Downing- street, secure from the penetrating gaze of practically'enlightened indi- viduals, and thus, with the necessarily imperfect information which Lord Althorp po. ssessm. on the leading branches of trade, principally derived, ac- cording to his own acknoYi^ cd^ ent, from the pro- dnctions of pamphleteers, ate projects enforced upon the attention of parliament, a large pro; ortiOn oi which, if finally determined upon, would bring upon the country serious calamities. . The intended tax on passengers by stertm- bOats hasi created in the neighbouring town of Liverpool just such a sensation as might have been expected:; The proposition was at fir.- St ridiculed ftS the tfhsurtfity of* the thing deserved; and something Jifcte indignation; has succeeded, the inhabitants scarcely Conceiving that a body of in< i5^ vidua Is professing abiht v'^ o go vern; the nation would have given countenance'to>* o wild a project. A Liverpool Contemporary- justly-^ ays, tfc wills put an end to steam navigation on oftr. rivers; aiid deprive the Irish packets Of all their steerage passengers, ft will double the fare in tripifof fifteen or twenty, mi'es, and knock . op fhree- fouiihs of the steam boats on the Mersey irt a tew ntOnths ^ , Here is another notable specimen of Lord Althorp'si talents- for the Chancellorship of the Exchequer! But. the prominent and more objectionable trtx, in a\ national point of view,' was that of one- half per cejit on all transfer of stock : like Pandora's box it - was; full of evils; it was both partial and unjust; a violation of faith with the public creditor; a direct., encouragement to mvcsjt money in foreign securities j au effectual - obstacle to loan- granting on stock ; and finally would have disappointed the expectations of Lord Althorp in pofut of produce, ft has, howev'eiy descended to the " tomb of the Capulets," where, it is . hoped, it will resi in peace. The duty on the transfer^ of land is also abandoned ; and the tax on glass is to remain as it is, Ministers not being able, as they say * to remove it. It is generally understood that the proposed tax on raw cotton will be abandoned by the Government. If is stated'that the . Chancellor of the Exchequer* yielding to the representations of parties interested, has consented not to commence levying the proposed new duties upon Timber until October ; and wome of the trade « fre not without hope that the Noble, Lord Will be induced to abandon the tax altogether* THE BUDGKT,— The correspondent of the Cock. Southern Reporter, whose information - is generally' very accurate, gives the following interesting account of the meeting of members of Parliament which wasr held, on Sunday week, at the house . of Lord Althorp, in consequence of the opposition which his financial plans had experienced in and out of Parliament.: — " LONDON, . MONDAY, FEBIU ARY 14. — A meeting of the supporters of the present administration was called by circular, and held yesterday, at Lord Althorn's Official residence, in Downing- street, and it will oe learned Wilh surprise, # S it may without the leasi doubt, that it depended on the rfcstilt of this conference" whether the noble lord would, or wouhf not,- continue to hold office. Since the developement of the budget on Friday night, the outcry against parts of it, aud particularly against the tax on transfers, of funded pioperty, has been so great, that- the Chancellor liasf been obliged to abandon it, and yesterday, at. two o'clock, for which hour the meeting was called, he addressed it at some length, stating that lie had accepted office against his inclination, having no personal object or ambition to attain or graftfy, and yielding only to the representation that was made to him, that his services might be useful to his country ; that, there- fore, it would give hiui neither pain nor disappoint- ment if, uow that he was about to announce an aban- donment of parts of the. financial p an which he had so recently submitted, that circumstance should induce those who supported the administration to withdraw their confidence from him, or distrust his Capability. The noble lord then intimated that the transfer duty was given up. The assembled members, I believe unanimously, declared that, they saw no reason for withdrawing their confidence from the Chancellor, because, yielding to an expression of opinion, and on mature consideration, he gave up part of his project, and avowed their readiness to support such measures as may be recommended by the Government., as would constitute a substitute for the revenue which would be deficient by such abandonment, those measures to be as little onerous as possible on those whose relief was the most to be attended to. A general Conversation then took plaCe^ in the Course of which a property tax of 5 per cent, was suggested. Sir John Newport ap- proved of it, and1 said he saw no reason that it should not be extended to Ireland, but at the moderate rate of 2| per cent. After having collected the opinions of tho? e present, the Chancellor intimated that he " Would give them his best consideration, and at i'otir o'clock the meeting broke up.". , DESTRUCTIVE FIHE AT BATITOV.— About three weeks ago, the hay and corn stacks belonging'to Mr. Jackson, a respectable farmer at Barton, near this city, were totally destroyed by fire, the act, it. was supposed, of an incendiary; and it. is with extreme regret we have now to announce, that on Wednesday evening last, the barn and cow houses on the same farm were discovered to be in flames, and scarcely a vestige of either was preserved.— Chester Con rant. We had hoped, says the Oxford. Jnirnaf, that the diabolical spirit of incendiarism, which some time since visited the southern part of this county, had been at an end, and much we lament having to notice another act of this description, which occurred at Sloke- row, near Henley- on- Thames, on Sunday morning last, and which destroyed an oat rick* about • GO quarters, and a hay rick, containing about 30 tons, the property of Mr. Deane, of Cuversham. The wind was favourable, otherwise three ricks adjoining must, have shared the same fate. The property was insured in the British Fire- office. Several fires Jiavo recently occurred in the vicinity of Newbury and other places in Berks. A few days ago a letter was picked up in the vicinity ofjLoug Parish House, near Andover, the re- silience of Colonel Hawker, to the effect that, if Colonel H did, not induce the farmers in his neigh- bourboood to raise the wages of their labourers his property would be destroyed This epistle met with no attention, and it. was not tor a moment supposed that any feeling of hostility could Cxist against Colonel Hawker, as liis labourers have been paid at a considerably higher rate than is usually given in that part of the country. At half past three o'clock on Tuesday morning Colonel Hawker's farm was discovered to be on tire, and it Was not completely subdued till four in the afternoon; in the course of which time property to. the amount of £ 800 was reduced to ashes, including barns, granaries, hay- ricks, agricultural implements, & c The houses were fortunately saved, but a large quantity of poultry was burnt alive. At a meeting of the Directors of the County Fire 0: nce, on Thursday, it was stated that, the loss the company had sustained by fires in fhe last year amounted nearly to £ 30,000, chiefly arising from the destruction of farming and other property by in- cendiaries.— It was added, that, the lovs by other Insurance O lices was very great, amounting in the whole to very nearly half a million sterling. HOT AM STOVES.— On Thursday* Mr. Chcsshire, one of the parties deputed lo investigate the cause of the late fire at St. Peter's church, was called upon to examine a hot air stove constructed in the house ofa gentleman near this town; and upon inspecting th « Hue he found a piece of limber connected with it in Haines, so situated that had the fire broken out in the night, the entire premises woul I in all probability have been destroyed. After these warnings on the subject surely gentlemen win) have similar stoves in their houses will cause them tu be thoroughly ex amined.—- Rr, mint/ ham Gazette. BANK Kouu NV — On Thursday night the hank- ing house of Mr. James AspjnaU,. in the Temple qourt, Liverpool, vvas entered by some thieves, who carried off about £* 00 in cash, an I bills to a large amount, which, of course will be of little avail to them. The perpetrators of this robbery were evidently of a more accomplished tinier of depredators than that neighbourhood produces; they effected their entry bv removing an outside hanging lock, which they afterwards replaced, and picking the other locks, w hich they also fastened again on retiring. The doors of the iron safe they appear to hay.' operated on with that powerful description of screw commonly ' called " Jack in Ihe box." Such was the style in which the thing was done, that not the si. ghtest suspicious appearance seems fo liaie presented itself to notice, until the attempt of the cashier, on ' Friday morning, u open the safe.

TUMULTS IN PARIS. The intelligence from Paris is important. Some pai'tizans of the exiled house chose ihe day when the Parisian population is ni" st idle, and most abroad— the Mafffigras, lor celebrating a mass for the repose of the soul J*= nf the Duke of Belli. Stupid and impious as this ceremony must appear at all times to people possessed of common sense, it liiay have passed wilh Ihe other togiieiies of the ( iopisft Superstition dtmoticed as it will speedily become Unprofitable, aud therefore of course be ditu- oi. liuucd by the priest's,- but it vVaS made a matter of politics. I lie prayers offered up to Various saints to interfere with and regulate Ihe immutable decrees of God IVere but Ihe pretext; the true purpose of the idolatry was 16' muster as many persons luvoiuabte to the claims of Ihe Duke rtf Bordeaux as possibfe. The natural consequence Of this lolly Watf fhe excitement of the Parisian populace, and, a private letter remarks, Paris again NilMlUn a large barrack. Nobody can calculate tin Ihe consequences of this tumult, ' t he popular rage was excessive. We give the following ac- dount from Gulignani's Mcsstnyer ol " Tuesday :— " Yesterday morning, al eleven o'clock, about 2011 persons \ Vdhr to the church of St. Germain I^ Auxerrois, to attend it commemoration service, pei formed for the late Duke of Berry. The rector df the pal ish officiated. In the middle of the choir was raised a cattifbUpiei without ornament's. An officer, who wore Ihe insignia of several orders, took fr'fith hiS coat the Cross of the Order of St. Louis, and attached it to lite pall, as did another officer his Cross' Of the Leglbli of Honour. The catnfalft* was siii nidiltiled by a bust of the Duke cit Bordeaux,- whicli had been consecrated, and at the four corners were white il'ags. A'ft'ef the service, at the moment' when the attendants sprink- led holy water upon the pall, two crowns of immortelles were pladed upon if. dftYiong the jier'sons preSent were a Pupil Of the Scliobl of St. Cyr, in uniform, and three National Guards, one of Whom was a truss- maker, named Valerius, residing ill Ihe rue du Coq. A rumour having got' abroad that the bust of the Duke of Bordeaux had been cfrowued under the title of Henry V. a crowd proceeded fo the church, and a disturbance being apprehended, the National Guards on duly at head- quarters hastened to the spot, and the persons who bad caused the service to be celebrated being still in the vestry, a commissary Of police was scut for. He entered the vestry, and found the bust iu th'e hands of MadatUe Valerius, who had gone round lo make a collection for the poor, to which the Duchess of Berry had sent oOOf. M. Ardel, a shoemaker, living in the rue de Greneil St. Honoi£ attempted to seize it, but Valerius took it from his wife, and it disappeared. Hv order of the coin missary, the three National Gttards were arrested, aud conducted to his office. U[ Von his examination, Valerius declared that Henry V. was his Sovereign, and his wife exclaimed, " We must uot surrender, but must conquer or die." This occurrence made some noise in thc quarter, strong patroles were set du foot, und, at half- past three o'clock, I In ee other persons were apprehended and taken before the commissary of police. The crowd from this time gradually augmented in t'lie Place J't. Germain 1' Aiixerrois, and I iC windows of the house uf the rector having been broken, the; drums at five A'clock beat lo arms in all quarters. Paris, and the whole body of the National Guards were on foot. " All intention was expressed of demolishing the chinch, and a pat ty actually mounted on the roof, and threw down the cross, ornamented Willi fteur- de- lis, and some of the stone work. Several thou- sand men of the National Guards, besides a regiment of the line, and a detachment of the Mtiiiicipal Horse Guards, were stationed in front of the church, and ill the environs of Ihe Louvre, who hindered all approach to commit further mischief, uud the inhabitants of the neighbourhood placed lights at tlieir windows to prevent confusion. A part of the crowd then proceeded to the palace of llie Archbishop of Paris, and it is caid that il was forced and pillaged; but a strong force of the National Guards being draw n up round the church of Notre Dame and the palace, and all approach fteing forbidden, we were unable to asceitaiu the extent of Ihe damage. " A vast multitude still continued in the vicinity of the church of St. Germain I'Auxetrois, the rector of which had fled. Au individual, armed with a pair of pistols, who attempted lo harangue Ihe people, was seized, his clothes torn off his back, uud lie was thrown over Ihe parapet of the quay, and, but for the interference of the National Guurds, would probably have been massacred. A party went to the house of Valerius with thc intention of sacking il, but were pre » ented by the National Guards, who, stationed at Ihe extremities of Ihe rue du Coq, allowed no one to pass. A project was formed to make au attack upon the church of St. Sulpice, but means were taken to thwart it by a body of National Guards being stationed in ( he vicinity. By midnight the crowds were completely dispersed, but the National Guards continued ou duty, and strong patroles paraded Ihe streets of the capital during the whole of the night. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Sir RICHARD VYVVAN put some questions to Ministers, wilh a view lo ascertain the nature of their intentions as regards the designs of a certain parly in France towards Belgium.— Lord PALMER- STON, without being explicit, stated that Ministers would pay proper attention to the honour and security of Great Britain, in reference to the sub- ject alluded to by Ihe Hon. Bart. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN brought forward a series of resolutions setting forth his belief that there had been a greut decline in tbe export trade of the country.— They were opposed by Mr. Irving and others, and the previous question was eventu- ally moved upon tlieni, and carried without a divi- sion. On Ihe motion of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, a number of papers relative lo the esti- mates aud cost of completing Buckingham Palace uud furnishing Windsor Castle were referred to a Select Committee. It appeated that the estimate in the one case had heen exceeded by £ 46,0011, and iu the other by ft, 0,000.— The motion for referring ihe papers to a Committee met wilh general approba- liou.— Mr. HUNT said that he rose on the part of the people of England to give his support to this matter being sent to a select committee. They were indebted lo llie public press for noticing aud exposing the profligate, extravagant, and unneces- sary expenditure on- those palaces, atii! in Ihe name of the people he should protest against Ihe payment of any portion of thc excess, until u committee of inquiry shcitld have decided upon it. As to Ihe taste of the building ( Buckingham Palace), all titan, kind had exclaimed against it. It was a mixture of mud and magnificence. ( A laugh J If inhabited, the Royal inmates conld not look out of their windows without seeing the back doors to public- houses. CA laugh J hi the name uf the people of England, he once more protested against paying one single shilling of thc excess until the people should lie fully informed upon the subject. CAME LAWS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would not detain the House litany minute* iu making the motion of which lie had given notice for to- night, ft would uot be necessary to press on the house— he was sure it was uot necessary to press on the country, Ihe evils produced hy the present system of the game laws. He believed tli. it there were scarcely any regulations which produced more evil than Ihe present system of game laws, lit conse- quence of these laws, numbers of able- bodied per- sons were constantly committed to prison, where they learned every crime, hi his opinion, one great reason against Ihe game laws was that the principle on which they were regulated was contrary to flit feelings of Ihe pe& ple. Instead of giving, as they ought, a full tight to every man over his own property, they gave an exclusive privilege to one particular class. Although it was perfectly well known that no person could preserve game unless lie was the owner of property, yet even persons who vveie owners of property had, iu many in- stances, no legal right over the game upon it. He had looked at these laws with Ihe desire of getting rid of these titioinalies, and, by placing the laws upon a more reasonable principle, lo conciliate the feelings of the country, and give them some chance Of their being obeyed by the people. He had offered Mr assistance to I tie hon. member for Buck, inghamshire, in amending bis bill, but the noble lord had staled that thc amendments were such as lo make it quite a new bill, aud he therefore de- clined admitting them. He would state the princi- ple of the proposed regulation, and how far his bill coincided with or differed from the bill of the noble lord. The noble lord,- as well as himself, proposed to repeal all the present laws. The noble lord re- tained all Ihe qualifications which were necessary to enable a person to kill game. He ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) intended to get rid of all quali. fictitious whatsoever. Any man raising the amount of the license, which would be £ 5, was to be quali. Bed. The noble lord permitted the Sale of game, and lie ( fhe Chancellor of the Exchequer) so far concurred with the noble lord as to think that, in order to prevent depredations, dealers ought to be licensed. It was his intention also to retain the system' of licensing contained iu the noble lord's bill. The mode in which be proposed to protect all laud was by the law of trespass. He gave thc power of bringing persons trespassing before two justices, and punishing them summarily. One of the great evils under the present game laws had been the night poaching, but he thought that the severity of the punishment had tended to produce many of the battles which had occurred. The noble lord proposed that for the first offence a per- son should be confined three months, aud give security for a certain period; that for the second offence he should be confined six mouths, and give Ihe same src6i ity ; aii'd fof the third offence he should be guilty ofa misdemeanour, and tried before the Quarter Sessions or the Assizes, aud be liable to seven years' transportation, lu his ( the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer's) bill, he put Ihe punishment for the two first offences rather higher than the noble lord. He put the punishment for the fifSt offence at four mouths; for the second at eight months ; and he declared the third offence to be a misdemeanour, liable to two years' imprisonment, but uot lo transportation. He hud refused calling upon the man lo give security, because it was tantamount to imprisoning him. He gave immedi- ate'arrest in thc case of persons found poaching in the' night. There was another material difference between himself and the noble lord. He had on'ritted altogether the Clabse in the noble lord's bill renderiug three persons found together at night liable at once to fourteen years' transportation. through the war; and without this, all attempts at an alleviation of the existing distress will be in vain. " A Mr. Morrison, a gentleman who is ac- customed to enlighten the public upon all subjects of policy aud finance in the columns of the limes, is said by that journal to have favoured the house with the following doctrine upon the subject of taxal: 0n : — " He did not think, as some of his honourable friends seemed to think, that the country was now ou the brink of ruin. The poverty of the people did not appear to him a sufficient reason for calling for a reduction of taxation. It was of no use on such a subject to say that the people had only bread and cheese ; if it were, then, when the people had plum- pudding and roast- beef, no obiection could be tnade to the Continuance of the taxes. Tbe proper question was not whether tbe people cotild pay the taxes, but whether the ministers could do without them." " Compare this with the late Lord Londonderry's phrase Of " ignorant impatience of taxation," which was so long the subject of obloquy ; or fancy, leader, that any living Tory had beeu guilty of the tenth part of this hard- hearted nonsense, and imagine the yell that would be raised against him ; but Tories, thank God, are Christians— they have learned that eternal wisdom " tempers the wind to the shorn Iamb," and they do not pretend to be wiser than he. " Mr. Powlett Thomson, as usual, meeting the evidence of facts with an abstract principle— an abstract principle derived, like all lite fundamental doctrines of the economists, through an induction, not from experiments, but from the aggregate of do!> tua and cants, replied, that— " It must be obvious to every one, that it was quite impossible that any trade could be carried oil for a series of years at a constant, continued, and increasing i'< ss; anil yet ill this way must the trade of this country have been carried on if the statements which the worthy Alderman had made were correct." " The sophistry here, if it deserves a name which is generally supi osed to involve an acknowledg- ment of some ingenuity— the sophistry here con- sists in the phrase " series of years." No doilbt, if series of years implies protracted continuity, Mr. Thomson is right; and he and his brother dis- ciples will prove that he is, by terminating Ihe series very soon in a general ruin. But Ihe history of any commercial country, which has sunk, shows that commerce ItaS been continued for a series— for a long series tif years—- after it bas eeasetl to be profitable, and that it has been continued to the destruction of those engaged in it, and finally of the slate, by these very same arts of pretended prosperity and promised recovery which Mr. Thomson and his con- disciples, the economists, are now employing iu the face of the truth." PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The ferment which prevailed in the capital yesterday, aud which scented lo be allayed last night, is renewed this morning (' Tuesday). By seven o'clock dense crowds assembled opposite the church of St. Germain I'Auxerrois, in the Place ties T'rois Maries, und on the quays. Disturbances be- ing apprehended, the drums beut to arms, aud Ihe National Guards were again soon on foot ; and, as a measure of precaution, orders were given by the government for the pictures and other valuable pro- perty to be removed from thc church lo the Louvre. The people, who form the crowd, have somewhere obtained a number of the caps generally worn by priests, which ore displayed on poles to violent shouts of " A bas les Culotius ! A bas le's Jesuites!" It' is asserted that the rector of St. Germain 1' Auxevrois has been arrested. The cross which was thrown down yesterday was removed by order of the mayor of the arrondisseineut, who found that the fleurs- de- lis with which it was ornamented excited the indignation of the people. In its fall it passed through the terrace, and descended into the organ loft. T he high altar is said lo have been greatly damaged, as well as many nf the interior ornaments. It is stated that the mischief done af llie archbishop's palace yesle. day is very great, the newly i mb IT- lied rooms having been wantonly defaced, and it er at quantity of the furniture and other effects hiok m autl thrown out < f I lie windows. At the lmiliumt we are writing ( noon), valuable fur- niture of every description, pictures, richly bound books, & c. are floating down the river, which a number of boatmen are endeavouring to collect. The Pout Neuf it* covered by a dense multitude of people, and numerous crowds are collected in va- rious directions; but thc populace seem perfectly peaceable and good- humoured, and strong detach- ments of tbe National Guards are stationed near the church, to protect the building. A number of artillerymen aud National Guurds are now destroy- ing with hammers the fleurs- de- lis that ornamented the railing surrounding the statue of Louis XIV. iu ihe Place des Victoires, and thuse iu front of the church des Petits Peres. At eleven o'clock lust night a mob of about 50 persons proceeded to the Hotel of M. Dupin, utter- ing alarming cries anil vociferations. Several ill- dressed men forced their way into the court, with shouts of " A bas Dupiu ! Dnpin i la laiilerne!" They were kept from acts of violence for some time by the inmates of the house, till the National Guards from a neighbouring post came up and dispersed thein. Ott retiring they sang the PariB- ieiiue, and threatened to rcturu. The Courier Francois Statos that " last evening;, STATE OF Til A I) E. We have In our Parliamentary notices mentioned Mr. Alderman Waithman's motion relative to the decline of our export trade.— An Evening Paper says— " Mr. Waithman's resolutions were opposed by Mr. Irving and others, on the ground that the reduction in the value of exported goods, to which lie ( Mr. W.) had alluded, was produced solely by a reduction of taxation. As this was the only feasible answer attempted, we may dismiss it briefly, Jiy asking w- liy, if the decline in value has been pro- duced solely by diminished taxation, did not, as always happens where taxes are judiciously re- duced, the increased demand compensate the taxes sacrificed ? If this has not been the case, it is very clear that the taxes, which were all of course paid directly or indirectly by the foreigner, have been unwisely and improperly taken off, the revenue having lost that which the subject has not gained, while we are at home imposing new taxes to supply the place of those that we have so unprofitably thrown away. " This is the answer to Mr. Irving's theory, drawn from itself, and it is a complete one; but we do not say that Mr. li ving's theory is sound— we believe not. We believe that the diminished ex- ports are consequences of poverty in our former customers; for it is a grand error to forget that liny laud, the centre 60 long of commercial transac- tions, must, for a time at least, infect other nations with the poverty which she inflicts upon herself. " Messrs. Courtenay, Wolrych Whitmore, Mor- rison, Hume, Poulett Thomson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and others, also spoke generally in opposition to Alderman Waithmaifs motion. A few sentences are worth remarking :— " Mr. W. Whitmore observed, that if it had not been for the great improvements in our machinery, and for the A- rkw rights and the Watts,, who invented them, tiie country could not have maintained as it did the tremendous struggle which- arose out of the French revolution." " Now, we can tell Mr. Whitmore that it was neither Ark wright nor Watt that enabled the country to bear the expense of the war, but that, to which Arkwright and Walt owe their success and their fame. Arkwright and Watt, could they, iu 1831, bring to light even more • powerful agents than their loom aud steam engine, would make nothing of them, because that still higher agency, which put the loom and the steam engine iu motion, would uot now be available; that higher agency is a free representative currency. u This it was, which supported the country The Gloucester True Blue Club held their annual meeting on the 4th inst.— The health of the late Representative of that city,' R.. Bransby Corner, Esq. having been given from the chair, Mr. Cooper returned thanks, and in doing so, he adverted to the times, and to the present important crisis of public affairs, when a revolutionary spirit appeared to tie excited and fomented by a more licentious press than this country had witnessed since the former French Revolution. At such a period, Mr. C. remarked, he did not hesitate to proclaim himself a Tory, One who maintains that the world should be governed by the will and laws of God, and not by the self will, inclina- tions, and passions of mankind ; he considered the motto of the Tory to be " Church and King,"— its object, to promote the happiness and good order of the people, rather than their uncontrolled freedom and deliverance from restraint. As a Tory, he looked up with reverence to the sovereignty ( under God) of thc King, but the sovereignty of the people was a position he utterly disclaimed ; he disclaimed it as impious and absurd, as a contradiction in terms, and as a solecism in politics; for, remarked Mr. C. if a nation be a sovereign, who are its subjects? If a people be masteis, who are their servants? A nation then has no subject but its King, a people have no servants hut their governors? Glorious inversion of all order! and mockery of all sense'. Such are the mad speculations which in a former century drove this country into rebellion and regicide, and in the last, hurried a neighbouring kingdom into similar crimes, into anarchy and despotism. He did not mean to deny, that the object of all human authority ought to be the welfare and happiness of the people, and that a degree of popular influence was necessary to confine the ruling power of the State within its just limits, and to direct it in the exercise of its acknowledged duties It was for this purpose that the House of Commons became an essential branch of the Legislature ; it was intended to be composed of Members taken out of the higher and middle ranks of society, and connected with the people hy the ties of interest and affection; but the House of Commons was never designed to be a pure democracy. Its Members are to be the guardians of the best interests of thc people, not the delegated instruments of their will; and if that assembly be rendered the mere organ of popular clamour, it then becomes despotic and uncontrollable, and neither the aristocracy nor the throne will be able to stand before it. Mr. Cooper avowed that he was no enemy to reform, but it. must be a reform identified with improvement; not merely a theoretical and speculative change, but a practical good. All reform, he observed, should begin with the electors, and not the elected; for if the former, instead of aiming at pecuniary advan- tages and private interest, would conscientiously vote for that candidate best qualified to be their Repre- sentative, they would seldom have reason to repent their choice. As to the Boroughs, whether confined or extended, still the same attention appeared to have been paid to private interests only, and not to public good; and the late election, in one of our most populous northern towns, proved the extent of that venality which he was afraid no alteration in our system of election would ever effectually abolish. With respect to the elected, he did not hesitate to admit that there might be some call for reform ; but after sitting twelve years in Parliament, he had wit- nessed a gradual improvement in the management of fhe public business, and he despaired of seeing in the House of Commons, however constituted, a more conscientious body of men than those with whom he had the honour to associate. He did not pretend to deny that abuses existed in the body politic, for no human institution was exempt from abuse; but these were not to be magnified and exaggerated in the public eye with revolutionary malevolence, to excite tfie indignation of the ignorant and disaffected ; they required to be touched and probed with a careful and circumspect hand ; but with such discretion, that in removing the evil, the good should not be endangered, lest in plucking up the tares, the wheat also should be rooted up; above all, that every alteration that may be expected, should be done in a conservative, not in a destructive spirit; not accord- ing to the wild and visionary speculations of the day, but with a steady attachment to the foundation of all government, and of all law. As to the present Administration, he believed them to be most consci- entiously disposed to promote the public good, and to effect no change which they did not think conducive to it; and he heartily wished them success in the arduous task they had undertaken of governing the country at a most eventful crisis. Mr. Cooper con- cluded a long and luminous speech, by saying, that he sincerely trusted that the Legislature, while it endeavoured fo effect a practical reform, would pre- serve inviolate the ancient rights of the aristocracy and the throne; and While it maintained the best interests of the people, would hand down to posterity all the blessings of our unrivalled constitution. action of ejectment was brought by Mr. William Williams, the lessor of plaintiff, to recover pos- session of'other estates in Carnarvonshire belong- ing to his late brother, Griffith Williams, in the possession of the defendants; and on the 29th of January last, the defendants applied to this court for, and obtained, ou several affidavits, and princi- pally on the affidavit of David Williams, Esq of Pwllheli, 7/< e Undersheriff, a rule nisi, why the venue in this cause should not be changed from the county of Carnarvon into the county of Merioneth, because, for the reasons mentioned in such affi- davits, a fair and impartial trial could not be had before a special or common jury in the county of Carnarvon, which affidavit of the said David Williams stated, that a great degree of excitement and prejudice upon the subject of the insanity of the said Griffith Williams, and the subject of this cause, then existed in the county of Carnarvon ; that the jurors' book for the said county of Carnar- von, as delivered to the Sheriff for the year 1831, contained the names of 650 persons and no more, and that ont of the said number of 650. 37 only were eligible by law to serve upon special juries, and out of si. ch number of 37, 8 served upon the former jury ; that two w ere interested in the event of this cause, that out of the remaining 26, five were iu the jurors' book designated merchants, but out of such five so designated, two were., until some time back, common working shoemakers, but had lately taken a few cargoes of slates from the port of Carnarvon, and were then styled in the said jurors' book as state merchants, by reason of which they became eligible to serve as special jurors. That one of those persons so styled slate merchants was until a short time ago, a common working gardener, and about two years ago took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and shortly after his dis- charge from gaol, he also embarked in the slate trade in a very small way, and was then designated iu the said jurors' book as a slate merchant. That of the remaining: 23, one was the brother- in law of the plaintiff's solicitor, and that of the remaining 22, twelve were the constant and regular clients of the plaintiff's solicitor, and in the habit of constant intercourse with him, of vbiting at his residence, and greatly under his in fluence and controul; and that the persons who were eligible to serve upon common juries, were mostly persons unacquainted with the English language; and that the first name on the list of those returned as eligible to serve the office of Sheriff, for the county of Carnarvon, for the ensuing year, was Rice Thomas, Esq. of Coedhelen, in the county of Carnarvon, who was also a client of the plaintiff's solicitor, that the said plaintiff's solicitor was likely to be his Undersheriff, in case the said Rice Thomas was pricked as High Sheriff for the said county of Carnarvon. That the said plaintitt's solicitor had very powerful and extensive influence i; i ti e said cOunty of Carnarvon amongst the persons eligible to serve on special and common juries; aud that a fair and impartial trial of this < ause, on the fair merits thereof,- could not, as he Mr. David Williams, verily believed^ be had by either a special or common jury, in the county of Carnarvon, by reason of the great influence of the plaintiff's solicitor, aud the feeling of prejudice then there existing upon the subject of the said insanity of the said Griffith Williams, deceased. On Thursday, the 10th instant, Mr. John Jervis, and Mr. J. H. Lloyd, the counsel for Mr. William Williams, the lessor of the plaintiff, shewed cause against the before mentioned rule nisi for changing the venue from Carnarvonshire into the county of Merioneth, upon very numerous affidavits filed on the behalf of Mr. William Williams, the lessor of the plaintiff, in contradiction to the affidavits filed on behalf of the defendants ; and upon hearing the observations made on the statements contained in the affidavits filed on both sides, by the Counsel for the lessor of the plaintiff, as well as the Counsel for the defendants, the Court were of opinion, that there was no reason or pretence whatever for supposing that a fair and impartial trial of this cause could not be had in the county of Carnarvon, and therefore discharged the rule nisi obtained for changing the venue from Carnarvonshire into Merionethshire, and ordered the defendants to pay the costs.

The difference in the parochial burthens between the northern and home counties is deserving the attention of Parliament. It should be ascertained why the rates iu Northumber- land amount, to only Is. 4d. in the pound on the rental, and tiji. lid. per head on the numbers of the population, anil in Sussex to 6s. 7d. in the pound on the rental, and 10s. Ild. on the population. The pressure of the Poor Rates is much heavier in the agricultural counties than in the manufacturing distrjets. In Lancashire the cost is 4s. lid. per head, while the home counties average lbs. j$ U0cellatuoti0 Intelligent?. IN THE EXCHEQUER. DOE DEM. WILLIAMS V. EI. I, IS AN II OTHERS. At the last a, sizes for the county of Carnarvon, au issue directed by tlie Court of Chancery was tried, in order to ascertain whether or not Griffith Williams, late of Bryngola, in the county of Car- narvon, Gentleman, deceased, who died in 1824, was, at the time of making his will iu that year, of sound mind, aud capable of disposing of his property real and personal. Aud upoti that trial the jury ( which was special) found a verdict for the defendant, the brother and heir at law of the said Gi illitli Williams ( aud who is the lessor of the plaintiff* in this cause), thereby invalidating such will; and so well satisfied was the learned Judge Jonathan Raine, Esq before whom such issue was tried, with that verdict, that he, on the cause coming oil for further directions at the last Beau, maris Great Sessions, ordered the plaintiff' in that issue ( the person claiming under such will) lo pay all the costs thereof, as well as the proceedings in Chanccry. Previous to the last Hilary Term, this IRON WORKS.— It is stated that Mr. Craw- shay and Mr. Guest, iron- masters in South Wales, are now keeping many hundred men in their employment out of pure feelings of patriotism, inasmuch as large quantities of iron and coal are being stacked at their r spective works without tbe prospect of a market for many months. Mr. Craw- shay ( adds the inform- ant) has in stock, at his works in that neighbourhood, 70,000 tons of coal, anil 20,000 tons of iron ; and it is said that the whole concern, in which that gentleman is interested, holds in hand at least 70,000 tons of iron, the make of nearly three years. A FURIOUS SIKOKER.— A young dandy, fashion- ably attired, named Frederick Whatmongh, residing at 4, Meliua- place, Westminster road, was charged, on Tuesday, at Queen- square, with the following outrage :—' The prisoner had run up a score of 4s. 8d. at the shop of Mr. Williams, tobacconist, Prince's- place, near the Surrey Theatre, and on his being refused another cigar without payment, he broke the complainant's gas lamp, several windows, snuff jars and boxes, and ultimately broke Ihe pan. nels of the door.—' The dtfeitdatil, in answer to the charge, saitl ( in the most affected manner) that he had acted through irritation, for, at the moment he was taking his wine, his servant came back and told hint they would not send a cigar, which, " pon honour," he deemed very insolent. The prisoner was fined five pounds, for which he wanted to give the complainant a bill at a mouth, but this was re- fused, and no money beinu' forthcoming, he was sent off to Brixton for two months ! ! It is not, we believe, generally known that the name " Adelaide" is of Saxon origin, and signifies " a noble wife— one of generous spirit." It is sel- dom that literal meanings are so accurately sustain- ed as we live to see the case in this instance. The recent display of feeling in Belgium is very Well characterised in the following observations writ- ten by " A Bostonian:" — The conduct pursued by the Belgians in the election of a chief magistrate, has induced me to trouble you with my American senti- ments on the subject. From the second edition of your Journal last week, I learnt that the Belgians had clccted a King or Chief Magistrate; but my sur- prise was great when I learned that the candidates for the office were thfee inexperienced youths, mere children— and from them the Belgian Congress elected a King— a chief to lead them to battle, or to make terms of peace for them, & c. & t. This act ot the Belgians induces me to the opinion that the old men of the country are dolts, and that the young ones are no better. The candidates for Belgian sovereignty were foreigners, and almost unknown to the electors. In my country we seek among our v eterans for a ruler, anil one, the most expcrienceil and the most competent, is chosen ; but iu Belgium is chosen one possessing the least experience, and no competency. His Majesty's brig Ttarra-. outa, Lieut. James, has just arrived from Buenos Ayres, whence she sailed 21st November; from Monte Video, 25th November; and from Rio dc Janeiro, 15th December.— By this conveyance we have received an account of the loss of bis Majesty's ship Thetis. It appears that she sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 4th of December, and on the following night she struck thc headland of Cape Frio, and sunk in five fathoms water. She was bound to England with a large freight— otic million of dollars— the whole of which is lost; and, we regret to say, about 20 of her crew, among whom is Mr. Bingham, son of thc late Captain Bingham, who met with' a similar fate a few months before. The Orniit, Clio, and Algerine, under Ihe command of Admiral Baker, were at the wreck, to ascertain the probability of saving any of the treasure Falmouth Packet. MARCH OF INTELLECT IN SOMERSETSHIRE.— Bridgcu ater, Feb. 10: - On Monday evening last, Feb. 7, on the members of a Friendly Society assembling in their club- room at the King's Arms Inn, in this town, they discovered that their box, containing £ 54 and upwards, had been broken open and the contents s'olen. The masterly pencil of a Hogarth would have been well employed in taking the likenesses of the members on this occasion. After the excitement that the discovery had created had in some measure subsided, several plans were proposed, ( in speeches ot considerable eloquence,) for discovering the person or persons who had so diabolically plundered them of their tittle all, when, after long find weighty arguments, two sapient members most willingly offered to go the following morning to Westleigh, iu the county of Devon, to consult Mr. Baker, thc white witch; the proposal was received with the most deafening cheers. On the following day, two sons of Neptune plodded their weary way to Mr. Conjuror Baker's, and, on their return, the members assembled ( with anxiety seated on their brows) to learn the event, when the ambassadors, after many a hem and hah, stated that he had informed them that ' twas a man ! or woman ! .' that perpetrated the deed, whether an inmate of the house or not he could not ascertain ! ! ! CARDINAL MAZARIN.— The pecuniary wealth, the valuables and pictures of Mazarin, were immi nse. He was fond of hoarding,— a passion that seized him when he first found h nisclf banished and destitute. His love of pictures was as strong as his love of power, — stronger, since it survived. A fatal malady had seized on the cardinal, whilst engaged in the confer- ences of the treaty, nnd worn by mental fatigue He brought it home with him to the Louvre. He con- sulted Guenaud, the great physician, who told him that he bad two mon hs to live. Some days aft r receiving this dread mandate, Brienne perceived the cardinal in night- cap and dressing gown tottering along his gallery, pointing to h s pictures, and ex- hibiting, " Must I quit all these ?" He saw Brienne, nd seized him : " Look," exclaimed he, " look at that Correggio ! this Venus of Titian ! that inconi- arable Di luge of Caracci! Ah 1 my fr end, 1 must quit all these. Farewell, dear pictures, that I loved so dearly, and that cost me so much !" His friend surprised him slumbering in his chair at another time, and murmuring " Gucnauil has said it! Gue. naud has sa d it!" A few days before his death, he caused himself to be dressed, shaved, rouged, and painted, « so that he never looked so fresh and vermillion," in his life. In this state he was carried in his chair to the promenade, where the envious courtiers cruelly rallied, and paid him ironical com- pliments, on his appearance. Cards were the amuse- ment of his death bed, bis hand being held by others and they were only interrupted by the visit of tl e papal nuncio, who came to give the cardinal thai plenary indulgence to which the prelates of tbe sacred college are officially entitled Mazarin ex- pired on thc 9th of March, 1661 .— Br. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia. MONKS AND JESUITS IN ENGLAND AND IRE- LAND.— We find from a careful analysis of the parliamentary return, under thc 10th Geo. IV. c. 7, that of the above description, independently of lay- men, being " Brothers of the Christian Schools," there are registered in England, 188 ; aud in Wales, 1 ; of the former, thc counties best provided are Lancaster, 113 ; Somerset, 19; and Yorkshire, 10. In the sister kingdom of Ireland the supply is naturally more abundant: here we find 277 Monks and Jesuits, besides 36 " Brothers of the Christian Schools;" and of the former, Dublin county finds employment for 52, Dublin city for 42, Kildare for 49, King's County for 23, Tyrone and Wicklow for 1 each, and Clare for none. The whole registered establishment comprehends, therefore, Roman Ca- tholic members of Ihe " Society of Jesus," Car- melites, Benedictines, Cistertiaus, Dominicans, & c. over and above 43 laymen, terming themselves " Brothers of the Christian Schools." Our readers will observe, that this establishment is independent of the papal hierarchy ; and that the Notnadic or unregistered brethren are yet wanting to complete the return. Can any one inform us, what is the amount of the importations under this head, since thc sentence of expatriation pronounced by the constituents of Louis Philip? Died, at Halifax, on the 29th Dec. in his 105th year, Old Logan. T he following facts, from docu- ments in the possession of his family, may prove in- teresting to our readers:— He was born at Montrose, the 16th Sept. 1726. He consequently lived in five king*' reigns. Fifty years of his life were spent as a soldier in the service of bis country, in England, Ire- land, and the West Indies— nineteen years he be- longed to the 26th Cameronian regiment— twenty- three years to the 32d regiment of Foot— three years to fhe 3d regiment— and five years to the Breadal- bane Fencibles; of the last regiment he was drum- major. This long service was rewarded with a pension of Is. ] 1 id. per day. He had been twice married, and heen the father of thirty- two children— eight by his former, anil twenty- four by his present wife. His last child was bom in 1803, when he was in his 77th year. Two of his sons were killed in battle in the West Indies. He was a man of very temperate habits, and, like his father before him ( who could, when more than seventy years of age, say that he had never needed nor tasted a drop of medicine,) always enjoyed good health, and, though having reached an age at which it mulit be expected lie would he in the condition of Sltakspeare's old man, " Sans eyes, sans teeth, sans taste, sans every thing," yet lie could, ( ill the close of his life, hear and see, relish bis food, and was free from all disease and pain ; and, what is still more remarkable, he retained a fine head of flaxen hair, which gave Itiin a moftt venerable appearance. As may be expected, however, he was very feeble and childish. A bible, eighty years older than himself, printed in the old English characters, and which he carricd about with him ever since he was a boy, is still preserved, as a book which he dili- gently read and highly prized, and in which he re- gistered tbe names and ages of his family. He always bore a gooil character.— Fife Herald. ' THE NEW BEER ACT.—/( Time- serving Clock.— A case came on before the Magistrates assembled iu Petty Session at Aylesbury, on Thursday, against one of the new beer- houses, for being open at an improper hour ; but as the closing of the house was so near the time prescribed by law, the Magistrates dismissed the case, especially as some doubt was thrown on the honesty of Aylesbury town clock. Mr. Rickford, one of the Magistrates, said lie he lieved his own watch lo be very good, but he sonic, times found it suddenly at variance with the town clock, as much as ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. It having been remarked, in reference to the number of the Premier's relatives who have taken office, that his Majesty had got a complete team of ^ Greys—" Aye," rejoined a witty banker, " and shuttld they lose their places, his Mnjesty will thell have a complete turn- out of' Greys." THE CURRENCY.— Lord Althorp made an im- portant declaration in the House of Commons, on Tuesday night, respecting the Currency. " He was of opinion that tbe currency of the country was now in a healthy state, and being so, he thought the House could not act iu so imprudent and unwarrant- able a manner as to endeavour to disturb it. Willi these views, he therefore did consider it necessary to say that it was not thc intention of Government to look into the subject, and also to express his opinion that any change in that currency would not now prove beneficial, hi this respect he trusted their experience would teach that caution to the House, which was so necessary in matters affecting so deeply as this did the universal, as well as the commercial, welfare of Ihe country." We insert here a brief political observation, which wc have not opportunity, if we had any desire, to enlarge. The Morning Chronicle says, " Without a Single exception, the ballot has been considered a sine qua nun in any reform from which benefit is to be derived." Several of the public meetings recently held so expre> s themselves. The tnorc revolutionary organs of public opinion it! the press do the same. The Titties opposes it, in the first person, but is the willing instrument or medium to circulate opinions favourable to that which itself professes to disapprove. In a v/ oril, the ballot is certainly desired by one section 6Tthat part off the public, who are now most busy on the Keform question, although lltey repre- sent but oi Small portion of the people of England- anil the ballot is, as all acknowledge, considered Ihe extreme point of reform. How, then, can any but extreme reform meet the opinion of those to whom avowedly, Concession is about to lie made. Who so blind, then, as not to see that tbe question of reform cannot now be set at rest by granting what is called moderate reform. The stand should be made de- cidedly now against all democratic reform, or t| ie utmost point should at once be reached. The attempt to rest in a middle course will certainly fail. MARCH OF LIBERALISM.— JEWS IN FRANCE. The Paris letters state, that the law project for placing the Ministers of the Jewish persuasion iu France on the same footing, as to salary, as those of other religions, had passed the Chamber of Peers. Ou referring to the report of tbe debate, we find that this ineasufe was, notwithstanding au opposi- tion founded on old prejudices, carried by a majority of 57 to 33. Thus all distinctions between Jew and Christian, as civil members of the State, are now removed in France, as well as in Holland, Belgium, and America. SYMPTOMS OF WAR— The tone of the Frcncli ( the government as well as the people) becomes more warlike. « We do not fear war," said M. Maugnin, one of the most popular deputies of the Chamber, in a discussion on the interference respecting Belgium, which took place last Friday " And if Belgium should offer herself, I should say, even at the risk of war, ' Accept Iter.' It would " be a deadly war, f know, but it would be to ihe honour and glory of France. And, besides, who would dare to attack us? Would it be Russia ? She has Poland and Turkey to contend with. Would it be Austria? She knows that with 50,000 men we should give her occupation in Italy. Would it be England ? With steam- boats we should carry arms atld battalions into Ireland." The English of tbis is, that, to accomplish the favour- ite object 6f their territorial cupidity— to make tlie Rhine once more the boundary of France there is no hazard that France ought not to encounter, and no wrong which she would not attempt.— M. Man- gum's statements have been echoed by a still more powerful voice— that of M. dc Lafayette. The " excellent" Marquis has asked how " regenerated France" can he bound by thc treaty that united Belgium to Holland? Upon the same principle, " regenerated France" may shake off the obligations of all the treaties entered into by her past ruler., usurping or hereditary. If, w henever a state changia thc character of its internal relations, it is to be held as dispensed from the observance of those conven- tions that, previous to the change, bad been made with third parties, there can remain no force nor faith in any international agreement. THE REV. MR. ARMSTRONG.—( From a Cor- respondent of Ihe Glasgow Chronicle. J— Since the time that Dr. Chalmers and Mr. Irving were amongst us, we do not remember of such au extraordinary sensation having been produced among our church- going population, as has been by this Rev. Gentle- man, during the last eight days. Mr. Armstrong, who belongs to the establishment in Ireland, In s been deputed on a mission to this country, for Ihe pui pose of affording information regarding Ihe stale of Popery there, and making collections to enable the society to prosecute ai d uphold the principles of the reformation, as achieved by our Protestant reformers. A bolder or more fearless champion for the cause he has espoused, we will venture to sav, l as not appeared in our city ; and at several meet- ings, which lie attended, he spoke for nearly Itree hours, with a rapidity and originality of thought, that both astonished and electrified Ihe audience. Mr. Armstrong, on Sunday last, preached all day in St. Mary's Church, which was crowded lo excess, and many hundreds could not gain admittance. His principal attraction seems to consist of a very quick and brilliant imagination, and an almost unequal earnestness iu addressing his audience. During Ilia delivery in llie forenoon sermon, there were ex- hibited some as fine imagery and bursts of eloquence as we have seldom heard, aud are ouly sorry our limits will not allow its lo notice them more parti- cularly. Mr. Armstrong, in person, is very com- manding, being nearly six feet in height, of dark visage, similar to Mr. Irving, and uses his hands in Ihe pulpit, frequently not unlike Dr Chalmers ; but he seems to treat wilh contempt any thing like reading his discourse, a word of w Itich, we imagine, was never written, saying more in one hour Ihau most other speakers do in three; but, withal, per- fectly distinct, and delivered iu a voice that almost shakes Ihe very pillars of the home, and said, too, with Ihe utmost effect, and though occasionally spoken with the true Irish brogue, yet so well managed us to make it even more interesting. On Monday evening, Mr. Armstrong and the Rev. Mr. Daly both addressed Ihe Irish Society for the education of the native Irish, in Mr. Gunn's chapel, Hope. street, and though the streets were blocked up wilh snow, lite house was filled to suffocation long before the hour of meeting. INFORMATIONS AGAINST PUBLICANS.— Several publicans were summoned to the Board of Excise on Saturday. Mr. Bailey, proprietor of the Hircules public- house, in Hercules- buildings, Lam- beth, was charged with having one pound of copperas in his possession, and adulterating hla beer.
