The Lord is entitled to the free and exclusive Fishery of the Rivers Cerist and Dovey, flowing through a considerable Part of the Estate, and yielding plentiful Supplies of fine Salmon and Trout: Salmon in any Quantities may be taken during the proper Season' by Means of a Weir, which with due Attention may be rendered highly profitable to the Owner of the Property. The powerful and never- failing Stream of these Rivers might also be applied to various beneficial Purposes, by the Erection of Mills or Factories of different Kinds. The Eslate holds out flattering Prospects of Lead and Copper Ores, the Existence of which has been proved by partial Trials; and if they were to be vigorously pursued by an enterprising Company, under the Super- intendence of a skilful and experienced Agent, they would probably lead to the Discovery of most valuable Mines. iK" The Property lies in a Country remarkable for its Picturesque Scenery, possessing withal the Advantage of a Daily Post, all the requisite Facilities of Conveyance hy Means of Coaches regularly passing to and from Aberystwith, Barmouth, and Shrewsbury.

This was an action of ejectiVient, brought by tl e plaintiff, a lieutenant in the navy, to recover possession of large estates at Sheiburn, near Ferry- bridgi, ill thi county, from the defendant Oliver Gasc. iigne, Esq. lite father of the gentleman who is locum tenens for the present Sheriff of YOrk. Much interest was excited by this cause, the circumstances connected, wit'i. it having been matter of public interest in. ihe county for many vcars. ' For the p'aintiff appeared Mr. Sergeant Jones, Mr. CohrttnajVavd Mr. Alexander; Mr. F. Pollock, Mr. Williams, Mr. Starkie, and Mr. Wightman, appeared bti'helm) f ; of the defendants. Mr. Sergeant Jnnes'sta ed the- case to the jury. 1 he family of the Hungates, from whom t'- ie plaintiff claimed to be descended, was in former times 01 e ot the mo? t ancient and respectable in the county of York, and tiieir possessions were very considerable. In the reign of Charles 1, the heads of the family were three brotneis, one'of whom died young; the second married a daughter of Sir Thomas Scores, and. died without issue ; and the third. Sir Philip Hungate, If. rrt. succeeded to the family honours and estates. This baronet was the immedia e ancestor of the present claimant. For his services in the wars of that period estates were gra fted him in the year 1020,- by Charles the First, of which the estate of She. burn, the subject of the present dispute, formed a part. The family of the d.- fondant, Mr. Oliver Ga « eotgnc, was highly respectable, but did not belong In Yoikshire, and in- herited no title whatever tn the estates which he now holds, unless bv his marriage with a member of the family of the H in^ a os He was the son- in- law ( having married the daughter bv a former husband) ot Ladv Ga- c riir" e. the wife of Sir Thomas Gascoigne. who'succeeded his brother Sir Edward, who married the only daughter of a. Sir Francis Huligate, the gieat grandson of the first Sir Philip, and thus enjoyed possession of the estates ill question. 1 Ins Sir 1 . nlip, the grantee of the crown, had issue two sons, Sir Francis and William Hnngale. Sir Francis, who succeeded to the title and estates towards the latter part of the reign of Charles, held Ihe rank of Colonel in the Kind's army, and fell in the battle which was 1' oiK'ht near Chester. He left two sous, Sir Francis and" William. Sir Francis succeeded to the estates, and ill the year lfi"> 2 executed a deed of . settlement, creatine an estate tail male in ihe event ol issue oi his ; and it" failure of sncli issue, the remainder to his brother William. This Sir Francis had issue a son called Philip, who in 1082, succeeded to the title and estates, and married a daughter of Lord Monson. In this year, also, Sir Philip executed a deed of settlement, Creating an estate tail male, re- scttling what his father had done and limiting the estate over to bis uncle William who was the, same man his father had limited it tn and through whom the present claim was sought to he established. Sir Philip was succeeded by his son. Sir Francis, who. in 1715 or 1716, married a Miss Weld, of Lu'worth Castle. From hnn it devolved to his brother, Sir Charles, who was a lunatic, and who * as a lunatic in 1749. Issue failing with Sir Francis, who left onlv a daughter ( Mary', who married Sir Thomas Gascoigne, the affairs of Sir Charles Hungate being, in consequence of his lunacy, in the care of the Court of Chancerv, Ladv Gascoigne applied for and obtained custody,' as trustee of the committee, of the lunatic and his'possessions, in conjunction with Dr. Francis Hungate, one nf his uncles, who, however, died, leaving her in the possession of full power over the affairs of Sir Charles till his death in _ 174& The estates remained in possession of the family of Gas- eoigne' till the year 1810, when the defendant, Oliver Gascoigne, whose proper name was Oliver only, assumed the name of Gascoigne, when he took possession of the estates, in right, as it was alleged, ot his wife a Miss Turner, the daughter ot Lady Gas- coigne ( Ihe wife of Sir Thomas) by a former husband. He was in no manner connected with the family ot the Gascoignes or the Hungates, and his marriage with Miss Turner alone constituted his pretensions to the possessions of the estates. The plaintiff founded his claim upon the fact that the estates, by virtue ot the deeds of 1662 and 1682, in failure of male issue oi Sir Francis, devolved by the death of Sir Charles to William, the uncle, and the plaintiff's immediate an- cestor. This claim would have been pursued much earlier, but from the circumstance that in 1810, when S> r Thomas Gascoigne died, and the father of the jAintifTinstituted some inquiries into the affair, he was deterred by some misinformation he received that William ( who was, in fact, his ancestor) had died in 16' i7 without issue. He had passed tile whole of his life at sea, and this supposed obstacle being presented to him, he was easily dissuaded trom pursuing his inquiries. That this information was a mistake was palpable, ffom the circumstance ' bat in the deed of settlement executed in 1682 he was clearly described to be then living.. This William Hungate married a Miss Oliver, and had issue Ralph and Thomas. In 1717, Ralph petitioned the Lord Chancellor, claiming to be entitled tg the custody of the estates, and to have the protection of Sir Charles Hungate, the lunatic ; not on the ground'of his being next remainder male in tail, lint on the ground of his being the next in the Pro- testant line, Sir Thomas Gascoigne being, like the Hungate family,. of the Romish faith, and not having at tint time conformed. Ralph did not succeed in his suit; bill, in 1722, again litigated the question, and insisted on his right, with as litlle success as before. Ho died soon after without issue. His brother, Thomas, hail a Snn Thomas, who became Sheriff of York ill 1753. He was a man of very singular habits He had been, in early life, an heraldic painler itl the city nf York;' and liis penurious and retired habits continuing after he had arrived at distinction, he did not assume the title which had devolved upon him, although he was generally called by his title. In public documents, and matters relating: to the affairs of the corporation, whose officer he was, lie was not described by the mio, but he was known ir. public as Sir Thomas Hnngale. He died without issue ;. but his brother John had'a son,, who was the grandfather of the plaintiff. He obtained a situation in the Excise, and we it iuto Essex, where, he married. He had several children, but no two were born in the same county, he l. e ng lcmoved, by virtuo of his office, to different puts of the country. One of his sons went to va, and continued a sailor till his death. This was the father of the present, plaintiff. One of the chief witnesses upon whom Ihe plaintiff relied for the confirmation of his pedigree was his aunt, a Mrs. Tibbals, of Chelmsford, in Essex, who knew more nf Ihe family than any other remaining member of it. She was upwards of lour score years of age, and very infirm ;• but, notwithstanding, had been brought wit ft great care to Yolk, from- Chelmsford. A few days, however, after the Assizes had commenced, she most, unfortunately died. Her examination-, however, had been previously taken, and was now put in evi- dence. By it, it. appealed that her father, John Hun- gate. ( Ihe brother of the Sheriff), had preserved an old pedigree of their family, to which he had made addi- tions as he obtained information respecting it. This he hid had in his possession longer than she could re- member, and when he died he bequeathed it, with an emblazonment of the Hungate coat of arms, to his daughter, the deponent This pedigree was confirmed by registers of the births, deaths, and marriages of the parties described in it. Mr. Sergeant Jones stated, at the conclusion of his address, that application had been made to the defend • ants for some deeds and documents, which were merely required lo facilitate tile forms of law, and could tie of no hurt to tlieir cause ; but they had been refused, and they ( the plaintiff's agents) had been told that they'must get what they could how they could. Upon this Mr. Pollock said— We have the deeds and documents in court, and you may see thein-— but not till you have proved your titleto do so. A great mass of documentary and other evidence was then brought forward in support of the plaintiff's case. Air. Williams addressed the jury for the defendants, and contended that they had failed lo prove that the William II ungate from whom the plaintiff claimed to be descended was the William Himgate described in the deed of 1682 ; and that the real ancestor of the plaintiff was a Wil'iam Hungate who died iu 1077, and whose death was recorded in the registry of Maltoti. The examination of the defendants' witnesses was thou entered nprm : after which tlie- Learned Judge summed up the evidence, concluding soon after ten o'clock at night. The Jury retired to consider their verdict; and, at eleven o'clock, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff. SOME It SET ASSIZES. BL'CKNKLL, ASSIGNEE, WRTUT JENKINS. Iii this case the plaintiff, Mr. Bucknell, of London, sought to recover £ 3000, the value of a quantity of raw hides, bark, and valonja, sold and deliveied to a man of > the name of Wore, a tinner of Bristol, in the early part of 1830, which Were, who! has since been made, a bankrupt, disposed of to the defendant Jenkins, al considerably less than the cost [ liice, without having had the goods on his premises. Alter doing so, lie ( Were) embarked lor America. The grounds of ihe action- were, that there had been a supposed collusion between the bankrupt and the defendant in the transac- tion. A number of witnesses were examined, aud the case for the plaintiff being closed, Mr. Serjeant Mere- wether addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in a long and energetic speech endeavoured io ' point out the impossibility of any unfairness in the purchase by the defendant. It was," he - said, a purchase similar to all purchases between buyer and seller, ahd the defendant was justified in purchasing the goods, for how was he to know that the bankrupt, Were, intended to defraud liis creditors: and if the defendant did not obtain a verdict, no man would be safe in making a purcha- e. The defendant called no witnesses, and Mr. Justice Taunton si'inmed tip the evidence, bearing on the side oi' the defendant, as lie coul} » ot be persuaded that a collusion had taken p'ace; and whatever m'ghi have been the fraudulent intentions of the bankrupt, llie defendant was not bound lo be ansuevaliii; for lb" se intentions— His Lordship having concluded, about 5 o'clock the Jury ( which was special) letired, and were locked up nearly a: i hour, when they returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ ik)' J0.

No resistance appears to have been offered to the progress of their army, and the ancient authorities have been restored. The Brussels papers last received tlo little more than confirm the preceding accounts of riot, and dis order. If we may judge from the mt. imati< 11. respecting Luxemberg, the Belgian paitv there is hy no means undivided, and among the- military m n in particular considerable discontent prevails. The intelligence hr - ught by the French papers this morning is highly important, if true. it is stated, on the authority of General Sebastiaui, that olHcial information had been received by the French Government of a great victory obtained by tbe Poles over the Russians. Wc have no details of the battle, not even the place being mentioned ; but it is s. » id, that the invaders have beeu routed with a lo- ss of 2,000 men killed, and 7,000 or 8,000 wounded. — In addition to this blow, it is asserted, also, that the provinces of Lithuania and Vol , nia have risen, and that the Cossacks have been compelled every where to fly before the insurgents. From the Dublin Evening Po. it of Friday, the following, relative to the present state of the counties of Clare and Galway, is extracted :—" T. e state of Clare and a part of Galway is such as must till the mind with disgust, if not alarm. The Lord Lieu tenant had scarcely entered the borders of Clare from Limerick, when in the barony of Corkomroe, live police- men were murdered by the peasantry. Not the slightest cessation of outrage has taken place in that county- Fences are broken down, fields turned up, and arms seized in the open day. Resistance on the part of the residents is out of the question. There is no law and no authority to which the least regard is paid. The Catholic clergy had exerted themselves at the c nimem ement of these disturbances— but. not only have their exhortations been disregarded, but the lessons of intimidation which they had been taught lor other purposes been practised on the clergy, whom they told at. their peril to interfere with the people. The operations of the system have not bet n confined to that county. It. has passed the border, and the southern parts of Galway have been made the scene of, if possible, more daring outrage. The house of Sir John BurUe, of Marble hill, a Roman Catholic, one of the members for the county— and during the late election the popular candidate— has been ransacked and plundered. All the arms in the house have been taken away by a mob of five thousand men in the middle of the day— the windows, the furniture, and the looking- glasses smashed t<> atoms. Visits of a similar kind were paid toother gentlemen in the neighbourhood— so that this part, of the county of Galw iy is in a state of more frightful alarm than even Clare itself While these proceed- ings are going on in a distant, part of the county, tlie Judges of . A^ ize are sitting in Galway — and the Lord Lieutenant himself is on the point of entering the county." BEEU BILL. The following is a copy of the representation made on tbis subject by the Magistrates assembled at the late Quarter Sessions for this county, and tvhich has since been forwarded by the Lord Lieutenant ( the Earl of Powis) to the Secretary of State for the Home Department :— Shropshire Session 4th April, 1331. — The Magis- trates tor this County, assembled at the last Easter Sessions, by an unanimous resolution then entered into, expressed their opinion that that part of the Bill for permitting the Sale, of Beer by Retail in England allowing the Beer to be consumed upon the premises where sold (. vhich was then pending, and has since passed into a law,) would be injurious to the interests and morals of the population of this county. A suffi- cient time having now elapsed to shew the effects of the Bill, the Magistrates here assembled in Sessions are desirous of respectfully stating their conviction that the fears they ventured to expression their former resol'iVtioYf have been fully verified : inasmuch as it appears, both from the experience of the Magistrates in their several divisions, and from the observation of other gentlemen of the county ( who have had the opportunity and felt, an interest in watching the effects of this Bill), that permitting the Beer to be consumed up-) t'e premises where sold has produced not only an increase of .- drunkenness and disorderly conduct in tlie frequenters of such houses, but also ot poverty and distress to their wives and families; . a- id has. tended to the demoralization of the population of this county. B E « ACT.— I he Magistrates at. the last Sessions for the Town of Shrewsbury, came to a resolution, similar in effect to that, adopted by the County Magistrates, as to the evil tendency of this measure. SHREWSBURY QUART Ell SESIOXS. At the General Quarter Sessions for this Town and Liberties, on Friday last, John Cope ( who had been out on bail) was acquitted, after a patient investiga- tion, on a charge of having stolen a dead goose and a cloih, the property of John Davies— hliza belli Pugh pleaded guilty to a charge of having stolen some articles of wearing apparel, the property of a fellow- servant named Rebecca Beech, and was sen- tenced to be imprisoned two months. Richard Wilding ( a waterman) and Mary Wilding his wife, pleaded guilty to a charge of having assaulted a constable when in the execution of his duty, and, having expressed their contrition, were, after a suitable admonition from the Bench, fined Is. and discharged. — thomas Lewis pleaded guilty to a similar charge, and was, after being cautioned as to his future conduct, discharged on his own recogni- zance. ,. >, iu\ Several prisoners, confuted for disorderlf conduct, were remanded for want of sureties; and two of them, being deemed characters of a most dangerous description, will be reported to the Secretary of State, for his opinion as to the manner in which they are to be dealt with. William Holmes, tbe keeper of a beer shop, im- prisoned for assaulting his wife, made an arrangement for her separate maintenance, and was bound in recognizance to keep the peace, himself in £ 40, and two sureties in £ 20 each.

The new Beer Bill gave rise to much discussion. A resolution was moved by J. S Russell Packing- ton, Esq. " that the Court, deeply impressed with the per- nicious effects of the Beer Act, do petition both Houses of Parliament for the repeal of so much of it as permits the consumption of beer and cider on the premises." However, the prevailing feeling amongst the Bench appeared to b<, that no partial alteration of the bill would divest it of that pernicious tendency, the effects of which were already so visible; ami, on ti e motion of Lord Lyttelton, stconded by l) r. Beale Cooper, it was resolved, by a large majority, to peti- tion both Houses of the Legislature for its total repeal. Toe petitions ( which were described as th > se of the Magistrate of the county of Worcester, in Quarter Sessions assembled) were as follows:-—" That your petitioners, being deeply impressed with the great aud wide spreading mischief arising from the Beer Act, bv which the morals of the people are corrupted, and crimes alarmingly multiplied; and being further con- vinced that no amendment of the hill can prove effectual for Ihe correction of these evils; \ our, peti- tioners, therefor.- pray your Honourable Ilim- e that such a measure, productive of these evils, nylf- bi- re- P" aled." The petition to the House of Lords is to. be presented by Lord Foley, and that to the Commons by Culonel Lvgon. William booth, Gecrttc Bonlton, and John Cor, were indicted for a conspiracy 10 defraud a Mr Jacob Giles Smith. This prosecution arose out of a horse- dealing transaction at the last Stourbridge fair. Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, lives at Bridgnorth. The de- fendant Booth, an elderly man, had been employed by him to take a mare pony lo the fair for saie, and he was to a- k £ 18, but not to take Jess than £ 16 for the animal. Boolti remained at fhe fair without effecting a sale of the pony, from the Thursday until Ibe Saturday, ( hi the Saturday, it seemed, the other two defendants volunteered their services to assist him in selling the animal, and did seil her lo Mr. Edward Corser, a surgeon, for £ 14.

Il appeared, however, that Booth had never been- at the Three Crowns, lint that lie had put. np at the Mitre instead, at which the defendant Boulton was the under- bostler. This fact, and his having paid Mr. Smith £ 11 17s. only, were all the facts which came out affecting Booth, and il would seem that the former was a deception to which he had recourse in order to screen his disobedience of his orders; and with respect lo the money, it appeared that it was all that remained of what he had received, bis expenses deducted. The Jury therefore acquitted Booth, and found Cox and Boulton guilty. They vrere sentenced to six month,' imprisonment.

Since this day se'uuight the supplies of Grain, as well from foreign ports as coastwise, are unusually heavy : the greater bulk consists of Wheat from the Mediter- ranean, France, and Spain: there are also several parcels of Flour from the United States. The demand, though to a fair extent, has been very unequal to the imports, and prices of Foreign Wheats, which were, on Tuesday, fully supported, have since given way Id. to 21. per bushel. Irish and all the inferior qualities are, at present, almost unsaleable. Rather more business pissing in Oats than for the. last few weeks, but prices are Id, per bushel lower. Fine malting Barley is scarce, and no other description will sell at present, live and Indian Corn are neglected, and each article is offered on lower terms. No change in the value of Beans; a few parcels have arrived, but the market is still bare. Peas, in consequence of an import from the Baltic, are 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper.

A PICKED PARLIAMENT Mr. Gough, in his MS. History of Middle, is very diffuse upon the subject of Thomas Baker, Sheriff of Shropshire in 1649— Among Other observations by 51r. Cough, are the following : — " Mr. Baker was made a Justice of the Peace in tiie parliament time, and so continued till tbe restoration of Charles II He was chosen by the Protector [ Oliver Cromwell] to be a parliament man. The other Knight of the Shire, chosen also by the Pro ector, was John Brown, of Little Ness, one that Mr. Baker had a great respect for. This parliament was picked by the Protector, through the kingdom, and not chosen by the freeholders, as usual. It was thought that the Protector chose this Parliament on purpose that they might make him King, but they were too wise for that, though ti e Protector, when be turned them out, called them a parliament nt fools: they made only one act, which was, that all persons should be married by justices of the peace."* Blaheway's Sheriffs of Shropshire. • !> tr. ttlakeway, in a note, says, Mr. Gouj- li has made a mistake here -" The pretended parliament which pass. rt the Marriage Act was that of July, Hj. j.' l; and in llr. it Willi;, m Rottrell was Mr. Baker, colleague: nor can I find that Mr. Brown ever represented litis county in parliament Tli- s mode of eelehraling marriage was very distastefi 1 to tlie clergy of the dav. One of them in Norfolk, recnrdii g snrh a t mis action in his Kegister, savs, that the parties came before tiie justice and ' desired to tie joined together in marriage accord- ing to an Act of tiie t. ittle ilorn'd Puriiameule, lately in that cause made and provided.' " — MKOTIFFIW ™ — MR. HUNT IN MANCHESTER. [ From th. Q Manchester Chrotiicle.] The town lias undergone another visitation from Mr. Hepry Hunt, . the. Member i'or Preston. What his real object was in honouring IVJanchkstdr with his presence it Vould not be difficult to conjecture; his Ostensible design Was to rehearse his < c sayings and doings" in the House of Commons, to talk with becoming modesty of • hig- QWQ^ irio& isuvand-. toji^ iterate, the s'lly demand for the radical nostrums— annual . parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot. We are not. aware how much good Mr. Hunt effected by his heterogeneous oration; but we believe that lie added to the'evils of Easter fair bv keeping thousands of men out of work , a whole day when they might have been profitably em- ployed. We would not unjustly charge even Vr Hunt with an attempt to create tumult; bnt. we would ask what design could he or his partizans have in exhibit- ing a black bordered flag bearing tie inscription, " Murder demands justice !" Mr* Hunt, is a member of the British Senate, and Ms voice, hrs been raised, though without effact, on the subject <~ f the unhappy affair in August, 1819. Because the Ho^ se of Com- mons has refused to listen to demands " which- would at once be silenced by every man of sense and integrity in the country, did he mean, as a denier resort, to appeal to the tender mercies of the mobocracy of Saint Peier's Field? With smooth, oily p ofcssion. s of peace and tranquillity upon his lips, he adf> p rd the language of. the incendiary and bravo, and p esentcd to the minds of his auditory the levolting picture of the town of Manchester in flames, and half of the inhabit ants brutally murdered for the accomplishment ofa Tt, e * pecwtor9 that a ^ ociely ot tins description political obiect!

NFW BEER. HOUSES. — At Taunton Assizes last week thc Grand Jury made a presentment in which they stated in their judgment that a great part of the immense mass of crime which swells the present calendar is to be attributed to the increase of intoxi- cation pri dueed among the lower orders by frequent- ing the beer houses w hich have been opened under thc late Act i f Parliament. FRANCE.-— It is not to be denied that, up to this moment, tbe revolution of 1? 30 has brought forth none bnt bitter fruits ;— the ruin of hundreds of opulent families ; thousands of industrious workmen thrown out of employment; perpetual apprehensii n of internal tumults or foreign war; the most grievoi s riisaj pointirents ; the most violent political dissin- sions ; and, finally, a government not moie democratic i i its constitution — not more popular in its spirit— and, by the necessity of its false position, not less op prcssive ai d anti- national in its acts, than that of Charles the Tenth.— Fxanii . er. Il has been urged as one of the strongest objections to the experimental Reform Bills, that they Hill inevitably lead to the overthrow of several ofthe most important relations and institutions of the Empire, as well as tu the disarrangement of the three estates of Parliament, nmv so happily balanced. That the Irish Reform Bill will effect the former of these evils, we think is plainly enough acknowledged by Earl Grey, himself, if his words, which we are about to quote, are correctly reported In the recent inci- dental debate oli tiie Reform Bills in the House of Lords, Lord I-' arnhaui, more particularly alluding lo the Irish Bill, most truly stated, that the'first effect uf this measure, if carried, would lie to give to the Agitators the nomination of forty or fifty representa- tives— the next to overthrow the Established Church —( he third, to unite all parties, Protestant and Catholics, in an. irresistible effort for the repeal of the Union ;— and the last, the establishment of popish ascendancy. In refutation of Ihe third of these pre- dictions, Lord Grey is reported to have replied as follows :— I " But in spite of my wishes and endeavours, in spite of those which are more important, it. ( i. e. the super- cession of the Prntesiant church of Ireland by a Roman Catholic establishment) may by possibility happen. i But the connection with England might remain; the ; two commies under separate chili dies might still con- tinue united under the government of the same Sove- reign. Of this there are examples enough in the different States of Europe, and even in his Majesty's dominions, which it cannot be necessary to detail to yon. The churches then might be separated; but the union of the kingdom might pe preserved, and all the great sources of national power and prosperity might still remain entire." Can these be' the sentiments of a Prime Minister of Great Britain who professes to maintain the supremacy ofthe Protest nit Church, and who has declared that the great offset of these Reform Bills would be, to knit more closely together, and to strengthen the institutions of the empire ? !! The Minister who does not think the Protestant Church of Ireland necessary to the integrity of the empire— the Minister who takes the auspicious examples of Russia and Poland having different churches otiiler the same sovereign ( if tiicy are still under the same sovereign); or of Belgium and Holland lulch! under the same sove- reign ;— the Minister who iiolds this opinion, Will Sontt find Very good reason for sacrificing the Irish Church, whose sole hope of safety must henceforward be in its influence iu Parliament. " Nu t the Reform Bill," truly observes the Standard evening print, " besides its effect in destroying the influence which tile Church exercises through the aristocracy of both countries, takes from the Primate of Ireland the nomination borough of Armagh, a strictly ecclesiastical borough ; and the hypocritical pretence of those who support that hill is, that by conferring a second mem- ber on the University of Dublin, the damage done to the church is mot'e than repaired. Whereas, the real effect of that measure must be, that the church, instead of gaining any tiling hy the proposed change in Ihe university representation, will lose what little influence it now enjoys in the election of its one member." Is not the opinion we have quoted above of Earl Grey ominous to every friend of our existing Institu- tions, to every Briton who would uphold the integrity of the Empire, and a fearful sign of the times ? The next ominous si^ n tu which we would allude, is the formation i. f the numerous Political Clubs or associations recently established, and springing tip throughout the country ; Ihe effect of which must he continually to overawe the Parliament, to degrade ( he Kingly Office, debase, if not annihilate the Aris- tocracy; and establish throughout the kingdom, that scourge of all society and of every government that has adopted it, the Monster Democracy. Should we appeal lo history for the truth of the assertion, even though it should be to events so recent as the two Fr nch revolutions, we are met with the new light that mv Lord Plunkett lias promulgated— that his- tory is an old almanack— that the parallel docs no! hold good ; that in this country we have a Const it u' tion, impaired in some degree, it miiiht be, by time arid a few abuses, but that all which these Societies and the Reform liills aim at, is to restore it to its pristine purity— forgetting all the while, how fre- quently, since Ihe last, settlement of the Constitution in 1086, the Legislature has found power within itself to restore any undue influence which has arisen in the Crown, the Aristocracy, or the Commons. But let us notice the Societies or Associations to which we have alluded, and see if in the nature of them - we are not ( reading exactly in the footsteps of France, when she set about revolutionizing her country ; or to use words more polite we believe to the ears of a Re- former— when she asserted the rights of the people. The first we shall notice is, one formed in London under the title of the " Parliamentary Candidates Society." It is thus announced iti the Spectator ; and if in the formation of it, we are not running a parallel iout. se wilh the French, we know not what imitation can mean. " The Globe"( says this weekly print) " suggests the formation of a Society, like thut in France, u der the name of " Aide toi, et le ciel t'aiilera," which was of infinite service to the nation, by promoting the return of deputies opposed to the S egregation nf Jesuits, and the system of Charles the Ti nth. " \ Ye rejoice in being able Instate," continues the Spectator, " that a Society of this description is ill LP VOIDS I. E AND THE KLNG WILL HI- LP YOU.' The allusion to the French Society which that name contains, would be expressive of the objects in view." Thc Spectator too is so enamoured with the bene- fils that the Society will confer upon Ihe nation, that il has been amusing its readers for three successive numbers wilh the names, character, and qualifications of different gentlemen, w hom it suggests as fit can- didates for parliamentary representation ; or, lo use its new appellation, instead of Members of Parlia- ment, " TRUSTEES OP THE NATION." In another number, the , ide toi Society is thus described— " This Society resembles the Birmingham Political Union" ( of which wc shall have to relate an anecdote or two presently); " and as that Association was fin- mid not to create but to supply A DIM AND for ACTION in favour of Reform, so this . Society lias arisen not to excite the public mind on Ihe subject of r, presentation, but to direct the most virtuous politi- cal excitement ever known in England to an end of the greatest national importance." The candidates a'ready suggested by the Spectator are in complete unison with Ihe majority • f the representatives who were returned to the National Assembly of France, liz tbe encyclopajdists, the philosophers, the doc- trinaires, and the political economists,— the disciples of Liderot, D'Alcmbert, & c. A knowledge of POLI- TICAL ECONOMY is Ihe highest qualification that is necessary iu this writer's op nion, for the representa- tion of a Reformed Parliament! Talk indeed of the night, the requisition for which was first signed for an assemblage of the freeholders only ; but a second was afterwards issued requesting the attendance also of thehouseholders tif Ihe county. Availing them- selves of this latitude of character, from tw- enty to thirty canal- bout loads of the taechaiiics of Birming- ham attended, principally members of the Political Union of that tow n ; and such was the ifeal in the cause, that one i. f the largest inns in the place, frequented by commercial travellers, found itself without " Boots" or waiter, they having deserted their posts so early ns five o'clock in thc morning— the hour at which the hoots were advertised 10 stuH ro Warwick undertaking fo convey the rniUeal gen- tlemen to ahd fro lit eighleen- pence a head. The' day too was most happily chosen, it being l'; i, l! T Monday. We are particiditrly induced lo allude tit llie cause of the increased numbers at this meeting, springing out of the members of the Political Union, b" eause we think this association, in conjunction with lhat to which we have first, alluded, is one of the most fearful signs of the times: for whether the Reform Bill, " the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," is passed or not, we are convinced from what we have heard of the proceedings of this association, tliiit fhete is contained iu it the germs of future mischief— if not the seeds of incipient tumuli— the • mildest epithet wc can apply to the organization of such a body of combustible materials. ' I lie billowing day also, Faster Tuesday, thut on which the Church- wardens for the town are chosen, afforded another opportunity to Ihe Mentbera of the Political Cnion to use their influence and power in their nominatiurt and election, when the body of Saint Murtin's cbu- r'Cb was, we understand, filled by a party such As never before was witnessed within its Sodreil Witlls. ' Hie Birminqham Gazette of Monday last alludes to this l.- ttter proceeding, as follows : — " The scenes of clamour and angry contention which have of late disgraced the proceedings at the Vestry Meetings nf this parish, appear at length to have driven the respectable portion ot rate- pavers from taking any part in them; and the consequence is, that at the meet- ings held on Tuesday and Wednesday last, the leaders of the multitude managed every thing entirely . their own way. On the first- named day they proposed and carried the election of Mr. W. Weston, one of their own body, as Parish Warden of St. Martin's; and his first official act was to nominate his friend and' pro- poser, Russell, as a Sidesman for that church. On the latter day, a meeting was, held for the appointment of twelve Trustees iinder the new Burial Ground Act, and the eame parties succeeded in rejecting a number of highly respectable names, and filling up the list witii others nominated by themselves. The persons de- clared elected we believe were:-— Mr. Thos. Attwood, Mr. Joshua Sdliolefield, Mr. G. P; Muntz, Mr. J. Betts, Mr. Charles Jones, and Messrs. Knight, 1' iissefl, Salt, B. Ha- ltey, B. Redfern, J. PorlioCk, and T. Hadley ( Smallbrook - street)." HIEMBEa FOR KXDDEHKlISrSTER. evils produced bv the Boroughmongers! We would undertake to prove froth the events ot' the last ten years, that one political economist has inflicted more misery upon this nation than all the borough members in Parliament assembled together. But it is nut in political economy alone that we are copying our French neighbours, and the virtues which have distinguished them in their revolutionary phases 1 we arc aping them in tneir false philanthropy, in their contempt of religion, in their belief in optim- ism, in their immoralities, their vices and manners, itnd even in ilieir dress. All, all must be French — French wines, French silks, French gloves, French perfumes, and French sentimentality. One thing alone we believe the English nation is not thirsting after like the French, aud that is WAR; for which alone we have to tli link, perhaps, our national debt and heavy taxation. But— *' The sword we dread not;—- of otJRSEi. vES secure, Firm were our strength, our Peace and Freedom sure. Let all the world confederate all its powers, " Be they not back'd by those that should he ours," High on this rocik shall Britain's genius stand, Scatter the crowded hosts and vindicate the land. Guard we but our own hearts; with constant view To ancient morals, ancient manners true; Tree to the manlier virtues, such as nerv'd Our Fathers' breasts, and this proud isle preserved For many a rugged age; and scorn the while— The soft seductions, the refinements nice, Of gay morality, and easy vice:— • So shall we brave the stonn; our ' stablish'd power riiv refuge, Europe, in some happier hour. — But, French in heart-- tho' victory crown our brow, Low at our feet though prostrate nations bow, Wealth guide our cities, commerce crowd our shore, London may shine— BUT ENGLAND IS NO MORE." There has been one County M eting held last week which, in point of numbers, may perhaps be said to have exceeded any before convened to sanction tie ministerial plan of reform— we allude to the meeting for the county of Warwick, held on Monday se'iv From the Worcester Herald. The first of a long series of holidays, which will follow the Reform Bill, look place at Kidderminster on Tuesday ' ast. Thousands of persons j with a band of music, left that town to meet i\? r. Godson, thfe BaiVistri*, who had been requested, late on Monday* to go over on that day from the sessions, atid make a. public declaration of his political principles. On the hill above the Hori fcrook, the horses were taken from his carriage, and he was drawn into the town amid the applause of a great multitude of people. When the carriage arrived in the front of the house Of. the High Bailiff it was stopped, and the band played " God save the King." As the carriage proceeded up High- street, the sccne became a very animated one. The whole space of that wide street was Occu- pied by the joyful ct- owd, and eVerv window prer sented some happy faces. From a window at the Lion Hotel, Mr Godson addressedjin a very eloquent speech, an assemblage which has heen es imated at the least at six thousand persons. The address was continually interrupted with applause, arid took nearly an hour in the d. liveryi We can Oitly give the substance of it. The Learned Gentleman commenced by saying that his feelings were so overpowered by the scene befoh- hint that he was afraid he should not he able to give an adequate expression to his sentiments. He thanked them for tiie checking reception that had been given to him, which was tod deeply impressed on his heart ever to he forgotten. He dwelt for sonie time upon the advantages which would accrue to the tciwii of Kidderminster from having a member to take care of their interests in Parliament. " I come," said Mr. Godson, " at your request. You have au honour to confer, and I am ambitious of receiving it. I am a native of this county, born and educated among you, and 1 have grown up in your sight. I aih one Of you ; 1 am not the nominee of some Lord - not the member of some great family, not put forth by any- exclusive body of men; but I stand here one of the people to represent the people, and t<* give expression to their principles." He then stated the principles upon which he intended tii act. First he dwelt upon the Reform in Parliament, which he described as merely bringing back to them the good Old Constitution which would give to every one a, proper weight in the national assembly, of which they had been deprived; and that, in future, the voice ofthe people would be heard before wars were commenced and taxes imposed. From the Reform in Parliament would follow every species of reforni which could be desired. The King himself beiyg a reformer arid the head of the Church, he felt no doubt that the p ons, learned, and wise men, who presided over the Church, would see the necessity of removing those defects in our establishment which give offence, without the interference of the reformer. Time will be given to them, and they will act pru- dently in employing it well. The next Reform to which he alluded was Reform iri Commerce. It was impossible for the nation to bear its burthens without a free trade, arid particularly a, free trade in curri. If men wer- 3 to make carpets io be sold cheap in it foreign country which grew corn, they must receive cheap corn frotrt that country to enable them to enjoy life. There mtist, not be any tttonopolieSj arid ihe East India Chai'ter cannot be renewed. The market tlicit would be opened in the East Indian poss£ ssiptis would enable them to support their bhr- tlieiis, and would giVe to every man a fair recom- pence for his labour. On the subject of the Eman- cipation of Slaves, the Learned Gentleman said—" [ am placed under peculiar circumstances. When I married, 1 became interested in a large mortgage (£ 50,000) on a West Indian estate, and 1 was forced to take possession of it. 1 scorn the idea of having jitfopertV in my fellow subjects. The Government may declare the black population free upon any con- ditions that may he thought reasonable; 1 only ask that the lives of the white people, resident on the islands, may he protected. 1 shall therefore vote for an emancipation which will protect out4 col - nia! possessions, and the best emancipator is the man who is williiig to sacrifice his own interests" The next reform was that which would take place in the law* of this realm. We want cheap and good law, but. no distressing imprisonments. He then called on them, to say whether he had touched upon every topic which interested them, and if there was any other* name it. No answer was given, but. a shout of applause. " Then," said the Learned Gentlemaij, " 1 will tell you upori what terms I wish to hec. nu ' your Member. These are your principles, and I shall only be your representative of them When any new and great, question arises, the spirit of independence will direct me along the right path, t ask not. the trust, as a pe sonal benefit, and if my conscience at aity time should not permit me to vole you nuty desire, 1 will throw up the trust anil resign. I come not. among you to make stiife, or to divide you into parties; hut opposition may arise; be therefore prepared, ami form yourselves into committees. 1 rail upon the ladies to assist, me. I well know their influence over their husbands arid lovers. A qualification of £ 10 a year may be ob- tained by any man who is industrious, and who is prudent, and t advise all the u'uls whom 1 see before me not to marry, unless the 4 dear man' will promise to live in a ten- pound house. It is mv intention n > t to < anvass at present. 1 have declared my senti- ments, and 1 wish y m to think of them and deliber. atelv to form vour judgment. 1 thank you again for the kind a d heart- cheering reception which . you have given me. Whether i succeed or not in obtain in" the object of my laudable ambition, I shall cherish the remembrance of this day with pride, and 1 slia I think of you all w; th feelings of gratitude to the last day of my life."

The following was Mr. Tom I i neon's speech at the County Meeting at Stafford, on Thursday, the 24th of March, 183L ; and which, as he Was prevented from obtaining1 a fair hearing, has been printed at the particular request of several Freeholders. Mr. High Sheriff, and Brother Freeholders, T agree with the Honourable Gentlemen who have preceded me, that we were never assembled on a more momentous occasion than the present ; and, as 44 England expects every man to do his duty, 1' 1 shall endeavour fearlessly to discharge mine, as a very bnmble, yet independent FreeHoldeiv That 1 may not be misunderstood, I shall consider ihe Reform Bill under three distinct heads. As first in order, I shall begin with— the enlarge- ment of the representatu n, and the extension of the elective franchise-, and 1 have no hesitation in stating, at once, that in this object of the Bill I fully and cordially concur. 1 have long entertained, and often expressed the opinion, that copyholders and lease- holders, of a proper yearly amount, ought to have votes for Knights of the Shire, and that it was high time for tlie technical distinction of tenure to he done av\ ay. The stake in the soil is certainly the true principle on which to base the right; and 1 rejoice that this act of justice ami policy is intended to lie granted to so numerous a body of landed proprietors. I also think that the right of voting in cities and boroughs should be extended to every respectable / householder, and I fully agree that the large manu- facturing tonus are fair y entitled to send Repre- sentatives of their own ; whilst an addition to the ] Members of the great counties may he useful and expedient, though I very much doubt whether the proposed division into districts - will not materially deduct from that weight and influence which the Members of entire counties now enjoy. My second division is— The regulations for exer rising the elective franchise, and for conducting elections in future. Whatever is directed to keep down expense, and fo purify and facilitate elections, must have the hearty assent of every well- regulated mind. 1 wish, however, these provisions had been carried further, that the property qualification of Members had been increased, and that an oath had been imposed upon every Candidate, and also upon the Committees and Agents, at all elections, that neither directly or indirectly had bribery been resorted to, aud that this oath should be repeated by each Member on taking his seat. This would have driven the nail to its head ; and until the bribers are effectually pinioned, ! fear the bribed will cont inue to be found. When, however, a case of corruption can be brought home, let disfranchisement instantly follow, and if the present laws are not sufficient to search it out, let stronger enactments be made. Only let even- handed justice prevail, whether it be Evesham, or whether it he Liverpool. After this exposition of my views, let it not be said that I am opposed to a reformation of abuses. 1 now come to the third division of the Bill—- ttie disfranchisement enactments. And I' should, indeed, consider myself wanting in common honesty to my incorporated neighbours, and regardless of the principles of justice between man and man, if I did not boldly lift up my voice against this flagrant invasion of public and private right. In my humble judgment, these sweeping disfranclii. se- inents are not only unjust, but unnecessary— unjust, as taking away at oncer without even the form of a trial, or any offer of compensation, those rights and privileges which have for centuries descended from father to son, and are regarded as- their birthright and inheritance— unjust, as placing a large number of boroughs, against w hich delinquency has not been proved, on the same proscribed and degraded footing as those which, upon solemn investigation, have been found unworthy, and justly to have forfeited their franchise— thus, at " one fell swoop," confounding nnd involving the innocent with fhe guilty, and dealing out to all the same measure of punishment, without distinction or degree. I cannot subscribe t<> the doctrine of forcibly taking fiom A, to give to B.; nor can 1 be reconciled to any plan which strips one class of persons of their ancient prescriptive .• rights, to bestow them on another class; and these, I think, must he the cahn and rcflectivc sentiments of every fair and upright maw. ! maintain too, that such disfranchisements arc unnecessary, and that all the good we seek may be obtained without the wrong. Suppose the line had been drawn, so that every city ami borough, where tlie population was under eight or ten thousand, should in future return only one Member. This modification would have given an ample supply to the unrepresented manufacturing towns and the populous counties, without any disfranchisement at all; and though not to go large an extent as is pro. pesed, yet some reduction in the total number of the House of Commons— a* matter, after all, of doubtful policy—-- might thus have been effected. And now I would ask how can that be a healing measure, as it is called, which goes to deprive the whole of the lower classes ( certainly by far the most numerous) of all direct connexion with the represent- ation. And let it be remembered, that with all the defects of 1 he present system, some portion of every class of the peop'e ( stopping short of pauperism) have a voice, and that the humblest of Englishmen lias the opportunity of becoming a constituent through the varied corporate rights that now exist, but against which the door is to be arbitrarily closed for ever. For my part 1 can see no reason why the burgess- born and the freeman by apprenticeship, claiming under prescriptions coeval with political communities, should now cease to exist. 1 have often witnessed the good effects of such incentives in society ; and I can with truth aver, that 1 have known numerous instances where voters of this description have exercised the elective franchise with with as faithful an adhetence 10 the principles of their party, as the highest minded Member of the House of Commons. The changes proposed would, in my opinion, act with too much violence upon our ancient customs, existing Institutions, and settled bah'is— would come too suddenly upon us to be either beneficial, or give that satisfaction to the Nation at large, which is professed to be a leading object in the ttieasure. The just and safer course would be— to add, witliotit subtracting— fo participate with those in possession, bu' not exclude. These, my Brother Freeholders, are my honest and deliberate sentiments on this great question. I may be in error, and when I see so many honourable, influential, and enlightened persons ranged on the other side, it leads tiie to pause; but still I differ, and I am sure you would all despise the man who professed what he did not believe, or who adopted opinions against his own conscientious conviction. And now, Sir, notwithstanding the rank and high respectability which surrounds me, I will ask, whether any man, looking round this Hall, will venture to say that the persons assembled here can be taken as fairly expressing the sentiments of the great body of freeholders of Staffordshire? Notwithstanding the Requisition to you, Sir, to call the Meeting bore the names of eight Peers, two Noble Lords, five Baronets, Esquires by dozens, and two Clerical Magistrates, wilti both our County Members in full cry, what has it produced ? I do not think that oOO persons are now present, including the Sheriff's attendants, the livery servants, and other non- effectives whom I see mingled in the assemblage before me; and yet. m re than 9000 freeholders voted on the recent election of a Coroner, and 1 can remember when upwards of 0000 came forward to Stafford, in a mass, more than j thirty years ago, to oppose an Address to the King for the dismissal of his Ministers. Can I then, under these circumstances, comfc to any other conclusion than that the attempt to get up an overwh'ehmnfg meeting of freeholders in the Shire Hall, 011 the pre- sent occasion, is a complete failure? May I not fairly infer that the majority are, like myself, opposed to the Reform Bill, as it. has been presented to the House of Commons, or at least that the statements which have been made, of its being fully approved from one end to the other of this great county* are not borne out by the appearance here this day ? I Wish 1 could have added, as I hoped to have done, that t was grateful for the indulgence you had shewn me; but the disgraceful interruptions which I have experienced, so unusual with Staffordshire Free- holders, oblige me to confine my thanks to those in the gallery, and to the High Sheriff for hitf endea* vours, and another Gentleman for his interference, though in vain, to obtain for me a fair hearing. I will not however detain you longer, than to declare, with a view thus publicly to record,— That to the Disfranchisement Clauses I am decidedly opposed, both upon principle and expediency. And regard- ing them, as I do, to be revolutionary in their cha- racter, and I still use the expression, notwithstanding an Honourable Baronet has called it " ridiculous," and a Reverend Gentleman, in not very clerical language, has pronounced it to be " false;"— con- sidering, too, as 1 also do, that this would be the first step in that system of spoliation, tVhich the Radicals meditate, and which some of them, in their paroxysms of exultation, have already threatened, taking Reform, as they say, as only the first payment on account. And if Chartered rights and . prescriptions* and cus- toms more ancient than Charters, are fo be thus violently swept away, whose title is secure? what property is safe? 1 say, with these impressions, whilst I have a tongue to utter and a hartd to wield a pen, that tongue and that hand shall be emp'oyed in characterizing the disfranchisement portion of the Bill as I think it deserves, and in preventing that foul stain from appearing in the pages of our history, as such a measure, if once put upon the Statute Book, cannot fail to mark the present generation with disgrace rn the eyes of all posterity. that when the mercury is very lew, and therefore the atmosphere very light, high winds and storms may be expected. The t'ollbwing rules may generally be relied upon, at least to a certain extent:— 1. Generally the rising of the mercury indicates tlie approach of fair weather ; the falling- of it shews the approach of foul weather. lu siillry weather the fall of the mercury in- dicates coming thunder. In winter, the rise of the mercury indicates frost. In frosty its fall indicates thaw ; and its rise indicates snow. 3. Whatever change of weather suddenly follows a change in the barometer, may be expected to last but a short time.— Thus, if fair weather follow im- mediately the rise of the mercury, there will be very little of it j and, iu the same way, if foul weather follow the fall of the mercury, it will last but a short time. 4. If fair weather continue for several days, during which the mercury continually falls, a long continuance of foul weather will probably ensue; aud again, if foul weather continue for several days, while the mercury continually rises, a long succes- sion of fair weather will probably succeed. 5. A fluctuating and unsettled state in the fner- curial column indicates changeable weather. The domestic barometer would become a much more useful instrument, if, instead of the words usttally engraved on the plate, a short list of the best established rules, such as the above, accom- panied it, which might be either engraved on the plate, or printed on a card. It would be right.,* however, to express the rules only with that degree of probability which observation of past phenomena I has justified. There is no rule respecting these effects which will hold good with perfect certainty i. i every case. July hangs between glol* y and laws of restriction ou the presS; yet it exists by the press, and that very press is its assassin ; if it pursue not gioi y, it will be devoured by liberty— and, if it assail liberty, it will plunge the dagger into its own bosom." And whence hangs the infant Monarchy thus Suspended between two abysses ? France, like England, has surrendered herself into the fangs of those who live aud move, and have no being but in au atmosphere of such change as. is yclept ^ Reform!" " There are two species of revolutionists; the one desires revolution for the sake of freedom, aud this forms the minority ; the other pants for revolution for the sake of power, and this constitutes the immense majority. We do but lend ourselves to a dream, and are fools enough; even in the glow of good faith, tb believe, that liberty is our idol. We thirst- ed for liberty so long as it served us in opposing a power which we disliked ; when this power was overthrown, and that liberty was attaiuedj what man amongst us has retained the least concern for either? It would be a strange spectacle, after ex- pelling three sovereigns by our barricades, in be- half of the liberty of the press, to see new barr'U cades erected iu order to put that liberty down ? Yet, what other remedy is to be found?. Let our laws and courts of justice be as active as they may, will it suffice to keep our pens within bounds? A new government is a child, which cannot walk with- out props and stays."

DUBLIN, APRIL 2*. [ From the private correspondence of the Morning Herald.-] A FAMILY PARTY. The Ctanconuels are making extensive prepar- ations for Ihe next general eleelion, and, should a dissolution lake place, O'Connellmore will have the support of several members of his 0W11 family in the ensuing, parliament'. In addition to Waterford and Clare— for which the Liberator and Maurice now sit— his brother John will be up for Kerry, and his brother James for Tralee, iu which borough he has succeeded in securing a majority of votes. Chrislophero Fitzsimon, the happy father of Hie Liberator's grandchildren, will represent the heroes of Garryowen ; and Cornet Morgan— not he of the u Noctes," but of the Imperial Hungarian Hussars, who has been here some months ou leave— intends to abandon the service of the Austrian despot, shave his upper lip, and, with the assistance ofthe freeholders of Rrogheda, try his hand at franking ! Ou Wednesday next, iu tbe metropolitan church of the Conception, the Liberator's amiable and accomplished daughter, Elizabeth, will exchange her ancient patronymic for that of French*.• The conciliation badges of orange and green will be used on this happy occasion, instead of Ihe ancient nuptial favours of white ribbons, & c. Immediately after the honeymoon, a western county will have theJionour of returning this French representative to the Imperial Parliament. Mr. Finn, the brother in law, and Mr. Ronayne, the cousin of the Liberator, are also canvassing, and places are already bespoken for the chieftain's sons and grand- sons, on attaining their majority. THE REVENUE. The official returns ofthe produce of the Revenue for the last quarter were closed on Tuesday night I hey exhibit, as compared with the corresponding quarter in the last year, a considerable falling off,' and upon a comparison of the two years, taken together,, they give a similar result.' The principal deficiency arises in the " Excise'*' and Stamp De. partmeuts; and in the M Customs," and in that alone, is there any increase in favour ofthe present quarter aud year. This increase for the quarter amounts to 4: 194,864, and for the year £ 433,505. In the Excise the falling off for the quarter is 1* 826,163, and for the year £ 1,371,220 ; in the stamp duties^ for the quarter, the falling off is £ 39,716, and for the year £ 77,860 ; in the Post office, for the quarter, the falling off is £ 8,000, and for the year £ 29,989 ; and in the assessed taxes there is a falling off, for the quarter, of £ 49,380, but an increase upon the year of £ 60,860. The total deficiency upon the quarter, as compared with the same quarter last year, is £ 740,309, and upon the whole year £ 1,134,947. The balance account of income and expenditure is incomplete, because the Civil List is not yet struck. The amount to be provided for in Exchequer Bills is £ 4,795,650. VULGAR ERRORS RESPECTING THE BAROMETER. The seventeenth volume of Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia just published, devoted to Hydrostatics and Pneumatics, contains the following notice of the absurdity of the directions engraved on the common Weather Glasses :— The barometer has been called a weather glass. Rules are attempted to be established, by which, from the height ofthe mercury, the coming state of the weather may be predicted, and we accordingly find the words " Rain," " Fair," " Changeable,'" " Frost," & c. engraved on the scale attached to common domestic barometers,, as if, when the mercury stands at the height marked by these words, the weather is always subject to the vicis- situdes expressed by thein. These marks are, how- ever, entitled to no attention; and it is only sur- prising to find their use continued in the present times, when knowledge is so widely diffused. They are, in faet,, to be ranked scarcely above the vox stcllavum, or astrological almanack. Two barometers, one near the level of the river Thames, and the other on the heights of Hampstead, will differ by half an inch ; the latter being always half an inch lower than the former. If the words, therefore, engraved upon the plates are to be relied on, similar changes of weather could never happen at these two situations. But what is even more absurd, such a scale would inform lis that the weather at the foot of a high building, such as Sl. Paul's, must always be different from the weather at the top of ji- lt is observed that the changes of weather are indicated, not by the actual height of the mercury, but by the change of height. One of the most PICTURE OF GIBRALTAR. iFroin « A Year in Spain" by an American.'] Nothing could be more striking than the contrast which everything presented, as 1 passed the narrow interval which separates Spain from Gibraltar. It so happens that the very poorest of the Spanish troops are stationed here, and that everything connected With the public service denotes more than usual ruin and dilapidation. The soldiers on duty were ragged, their schaikos often stretched out of shape, and kept from falling over their eyes by a handker- chief thrust between them and the forehead, until they projected in front like the self- sustained pent- house of a Low Dutch dwelling. Some wore shoes aud gaiters, others hempen sandals. In this neglected garb, however, you could see a well made and sinewy, though starved form, a weather- beaten face, and black and bristly mustachios, which, with the keen eye of the poor soldier* denoted a fund of military spirit. Besides these troops, the traveller is beset by g'fottps of beggars, vagrant gipsies, sijiialid, un washed men, and half- naked women, paralytic and rickety wretches from the quicksilver mines, con- verted by their toils into monsters of deformity.— How different everything within the Englislv,. lines! I first came t6' a drawbridge of neat construction; then a guardhouse, with a snug lodge for the person who is charged with the service of watching those who enter and depart, and who sits comfortably under cover. Beside this man, to secure his obedience, stood a British soldier, as stiff'as a statue ; his Coat* cap, and shoes, all brtfshed to perfection; his frowsers, ruflles, plume, and belts, as white as washing and pipeclay could make them ; and his musket, where not coloured* reflecting the sunbeams lifre a mirror. Though his form was less muscular, and his eye less martial, than those of the poor Spaniard without, he was, nevertheless, larger and better fed, and was ready, by the force of discipline, to do anything and go anywhere. On a near approach to the fortress, I paused for a moment to look upon its rugged front with S mingled feeling of awe and admiration. Here the whole art of defence has been exhausted. The entire face and foot of the rftodntain is covered with defences, and bristling with cannon. The level ground below, the slopes and ridge, and every inequality of surface, have been converted into batteries. Even the precipice itself, where nature, haviug precluded all approach, refuses a foothold for a single warrior, is perforated with yawning port- holes, suspended near a thousand feet abbve, and ready, in a moment, to be converted into mouths of fire. All these had cannon, pointed at the place upon which I stood, their tompions out, to denote preparation and readiness to be lit up in moment into one vast blaze, as terrible as the thunder of tiie heavens. After passing through several parallels, where all denoted the most perfect state of order and pre paration, I came to the neat market recently erected without the gate, and the general landing- place of men- of- war's- tnen and merchant sailors of every nation in Europe. Here one may see filthy Jews, bi "- breeched Moors, wily Greeks, spluttering Dutchmen, and flippant Frenchmen, smooth- tongued Italians, long- waisted and red- capped Catalans, and English sailors, with their neat tarpaulins and blue jackets. As you penetrate into the town, all denotes the stir and bustle of commerce, an immense busi ness confined within narrow limits. Goods constantly landing and embarking, and carts and waggons passing in every direction. The peopl 110 longer moved slowly as in Spain, nor loitered about the corners ; every one had something to do — every one was in a hurry. Salutations vver abrupt, and ceremonies dispensed with : u How do? was the word, without waiting for an answer Even the Spaniards residing be re seenj io have caught'the impetus. Instead of ( heir long How are you ?" and " God guard you?" I now heard nothing from them but a sudden " salude" as they were forced against, and bounded away from each other in the crowd. The officers of the garrison, amid all this bustle, seemed the only men of leisure. They sat on horseback, dressed iu their neat red Moorish jackets, with foraging caps covesMng- their faces, often equally red ; their horses drawn up in the middle of the street, to the obstruction of the drays, or planted at the only crossing- place for footmen. Others monopolized the side walk, driving the trader into the street ; whilst elsewhere a couple, as if mutually unwilling to sacrifice dignity by coming towards each other, carried on their conversation for the public benefit from either side of the street, saying very flat things, with arms folded or a- kimbo, and iu a very ' pon- honourish tone, as though eaeh were talking through a quire of paper. Here was music, too, and marching, and fadies, and everything that can be seen in the whole world, reduced into a narrow compass. There was much iu all this to please, and yet there was much that was un pleasing. I now saw again, in the appearance of many ofthe moving multitude, those indications of intemperance to which I had long been a stranger— swollen aud unwieldy bodies, surmounted by fiery faces, mottled with blotches and carbuncles. Everywhere along the main street stood open tap- rooms— the ready reservoirs of all this intemperance. The well- rubbed bottles glistened upon the shelves, with each its silver label, while the alternate glasses were surmounted by lemons to make poison palatable to beginners It was long since 1 had seen anything like this; and it pained me to remember, that, had 1 been transported as suddenly into my own country, I might have met with objects equally hateful and disgusting. The contrast brought into strong relief the frugal, temperate habits, the sinewy conforma- tion, and manly bearing of the Spanish peasantry. Nor could I help reflecting, that if their case called upon ns for connnisseration, there was also some room for admiration and for envy. STATE OF FRANCE. A French writer, in treating of the late revolu- tion in that country, says— As to the Restoration, its fifteen years' being, with all its inconvenieucies, faults, and stupidity— its struggle after despotism in acts and deeds, and the evil purpose of the spirit which swayed it— its fifteen years' being, looking at it in all its parts, have been fifteen years of the purest freedom which France has enjoyed from the earliest dawn of her annals." And now, mark the sacrifice which is coupled with the thirst for violent change in the constitution of States. u How has it happened that, by displacing one solitary individual at St. Cloud, we have been forced to advance one million sterling to our traders— to sell eight millions sterling of our woods and forests— to call for ten• pence iu the pound, in addition to the heavy burthens on lands and houses ? No anointment of our crown ed heads has ever cost so dearly as our republican inauguration!" " The Monarchy ofthe 29th of BFFR SHOPS.— Gloucestershire Assizes.— At the conclusion of their labours on the 4th instant, the gf& nd jury came into court, and delivered a present- ment ( o Mr. Justice Patteson, stating their opinion that a great many of the offences which had come before them had arisen from the number of beer shops which had been opened in the country tinder the late act of parliament, ami which they had no doubt tended very much to the increase of crime, from the facilities they afforded the idle and ill- disposed to meet together; and fhey trusted his lordship would make such a representation in the proper quarter as would lead to some regulation being adopted with respect to them.— The learned judge said he perfectly concurred in the opinion of the grand jury, as he had ho doubt, from the number of criminals at this and other places on the circuit, and from circumstances which had Come to his knowledge in many cases, lhat the beer shops had produced very great mischief. He had come to the 6ame conclusion from what he had seen on the special commission, and he would take care that their presentment should be laid before his Majesty's government. A ^ oung lady of good connexions, and of some fortune, residing near Edinburgh, is about to resign herself in marriage to a Jew cobbler, who was lately baptised. The lady has been drinking deep in the Row heresy, and has had visions and revelations. In one or more of these, as she gives out, she has had an assurance that it is her duty to marry this man, of whom nobody knows anything. The Jew, like others of his nation, knows the value of ready cash, and ac- quiesces of course in the vision, as what should be ncredly complied with, ' fhe heretical excitement in the west has, as was to be expected, produced the marriage of the female leader of the sect— Mary Carfipbell— with a kindred visionary. Edinburgh is now become the chief seat of the heresy. Fifty- three young misses, seventeen full- growrt ladies, without liusbafids, with one or two matrons, and a few gentle- men, led captive t> y silly women, are in daily and active operation ; fondly cherishing one another, whispering or talking aloud of visions and miracles, and denouncing God's wrath as about tO come oft ( he ity. The conduct of these people maybe sport to the profane, but it is distressing to every sober- minded Christian — Strathmore Journal. The militia ballot has been a sore trial of temper for our northern neighbours, and sundry skirmishes are recorded in the Scotcti papers as having occurred between the authorities and the people on the sub- ject. At Dundee, those who were enrolled having been called on to give in their grounds of exemption, the persons who attended at the church were so nu- merous ( all the male population of the town being, for the nonce, either crippled, blind, short, deaf, or in bad health), lhat it was found impossible to get through them in one day ; and, about six o'clock, the officials resolved on an adjournment. Hereupon the appellants waxed wroth, and Mr. Walker, the clerk, who brought up the rear of the retiring party, was " knocked over" ( Anglice, we presume, knocked down), made prisoner, and compelled to return to his seat. He afterwards took shelter in the pulpit, and favoured by th6 darkness of the night, escaped by a side door. A scene of extraordinary confusion and noise followed, in which cries of " We want remuner ation,"" Away with the militia," resounded from all sides, and which terminated in the malcontents resolv- ing themselves into a 44 meeting." One of the party was called to the chair, their grievances were expati- ated upon at great length by various speakers, and at last a committee was appointed to prepare petition against the conduct of the individuals engaged in the ballot. At Arbroath, the population had experienced a similar visitation of deformity and disease, and an adjournment having been rendered necessary by the quantity of business, the authorities were besieged, and were finally compelled to make a precipitate retreat by the back- doors of the place where they had assembled. AN APOLOGY.— When JOHN CLF. RK ( Lord ELDIN) was at the bar, he was remarked for the sang froid with which he treated the Judges. On one occasion, a junior Counsel, on hearing their Lordships give judgment against his client, ex- claimed that " he was surprised at such a decision!" This was construed into contempt of Court, and he was ordered to attend at the bar next morning. Fearful of the consequences, he consulted his friend, JOHN CLERK, who told him to be perfectly at ease, for he would apologise for him in a way that would avert any unpleasant result. Accordingly, when the name of the delinquent was called, JOHN rose and coolly addressed the as- sembled tribunal:—" I am very sorry, my Lords, that my young friend has so far forgot himself, as to treat your honourable bench with disrespect; he is extremely penitent, and you will kindly ascribe his unintentional insult to his ignorance. You must see at once that it did originate in that. He said he was surprised at the decision of your Lordships ! Now, if he had not been very ignorant of what takes place in this Court every day— had he known you but half so long as I have done, curse me if he would be surprised at any thing you did !"— Aberdeen Chronicle. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE IRISH POOR.— The report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons 011 the state of the poorer classes iu Ireland, and the best means of improving their con- dition, which, with the minutes of evidence, fills four folio volumes, contains an excellent summary of facts and opinions bearing upon the three great divisions of the subject; first, the actual state and condition ofthe poorer classes in Ireland ; secondly, the laws which affect them, and the charitable in- stitutions, both public and private; and lastly, the remedial measures proposed by different witnesses. In considering the last branch of the subject, the committee strongly recommend the extension of public works and inland navigation, upon the prin- ciple of loans repayable and adequately secured ; and they observe that " if the system of grants in aid of local funds be adopted on the Highland- road precedent, it may be anticipated, from the ex- perience of the past, that an increase of revenue, and the suppression of smuggling, will afford to the state an indirect return.— On the subject of emigration, the committee consider that it offers one remedy for the disproportion between the num- ber of the labouring classes in Ireland and the amount of capital which can be profitably employed in creating a demand for labour; and although they are not prepared to recommend any compulsory system of taxation for the purpose, they " do not entertain the slightest doubt, that colonization might be carried to a very great extent indeed, if facilities were afforded by the government to those Irish peasants who were disposed voluntarily to seek a settlement in the colonies; and they speak with apparent approbation of a very simple but most effectual mode, by means of public works, of raising funds to enable the poor to emigrate— namely, by reserving, with the consent of the parties, a portion of the wages of labour where public works are carried on, for defraying the ex- penses of emigration. The draft bf a bill to disfranchise the freemen of Liverpool was received last night, aud is, at present, in the hands of his Worship the Mayor. This, as might have been expected, has produced a sensation : it was perfectly unexpected; and from the circumstance of the writ being suspended, and parliament adjourned^ many persisted in disbeliev- ing the report. The draft of the bill has been drawn up by Mr. Wason, with the assistance or concurrence of Mr. Benett, chairman of the Liver- pool Election Committee. It has been submitted to Lord Althorp, who approved of it ; and it is intended to present it to the House of Commons on Monday, the 18th instant. At one stroke, it dis- franchises all the freemen of Liverpool, and it confers the right of voting on inhabitant house* holders, rated at £ 10 a- year. Whether the Reform Bill, therefore, be accepted or rejected, Liverpool will be in the Situation which it is intended to place Manchester, and other large towns, which have uow no elective franchise.— Liverpool Journal. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.— In a recent number of our paper we inserted a paragraph respecting an pld woman,- named L. evisou, who lately died ut Brauustou, near Oakham, who made a confession on her death bed to the minister, that she, along with her then master, one Smith, had been con- cerned in the bloody aud cruel murder of a beast jobber, a stranger, who had come to her master's residence to receive money; that she held his head while Smith beat out his brains With a ham- mer. Mr. William Hinds, late a schoolmaster, of Boston, having nearly thirty years since lost cousin, called Samuel Johnson, who disappeared in a mysterious manner, seeing the above paragraph, immediately wrote to the minister of Braun3ton for further Information relative tu the muffler, and the gentleman very politely answered his inquiries. The result is, that Mr. Hinds has ascertained lhat the person thus murdered was the identical beast- jobber, Johnson, w ho left Friestou about Christmas, 1801, with considerable property, and a quantity of cattle to sell at Smithfield market, which it now appears he sold ; aud on his return called at Oak- ham to meet Smith and a man named Hackett, to receive money for beasts sold to them at Lammas previously. Hackett settled with him ; but Smith failed to come; and, in consequence, Johnson went to Owston Lodge ( about two or three miles from Oakham) to Smith's house for the money, but lie never returned from thence. Smith and the woman lately dead, whose name the minister says is Leavis, robbed and cruelly murdered Johnson, aud buried his body in the stack- yard. Smith, who had previously been in indifferent circumstance ® , launched out into business for some years, but after a time he failed and died a pauper, and was buried at the expense of the parish. Smith used annually to erect hay- stacks upon the place where he had buried his victim ; on Smith leaving the place, about twelve years ago, some men, digging for gravel, found the bones of poor Johnson, and they were collected and interred in Knossington church- yard, about two miles from Owston Wood Lodge, where they werC found. Johnson was a man of good character, and had been entrusted with much cattle by many respectable graziers round the neighbourhood of Frieston and Boston. It is supposed that he had about him property to the amount of £ 1,600 or £ 1,800. The iuhumau mur- derer ( Smith) has been dead 6ve years last January, aud his accomplice died only a few weeks ago. Johnson's uncle, who resided at Frieston, had made himself responsible to several graziers for the amount entrusted to his hephew, of whose integrity he had such au opinion that he paid £ 900 to the graziers. Two letters, purporting fo be written by the deceased, but which at the time were generally believed to be forgeries, were received by his friends at Frieston, stating that he had hired him- self to a butcher at Epping. It is supposed these letters were written by the murderer, for the purpose of diverting the attention of the deceased's friends. The above narrative proves that murder, although long hid, is generally discovered and brought to light; and though, in this instance, the guilty parties escaped hiimau justice, yet we find that a retributive Providence visited one with all the miseries of poverty in bis old age, and the other with all the horrors of a death- bed repentance. — Stamford Herald. Mr. VALPY has just published the first Number of a Series of the most popular productions of our eminent HISTORIANS, PmLosopHEks, & c. intitled " Aft EPITOME OF ENGLISH LITERATBRE ;" the Editors of wlrch intend to prune luxuriances and remove blemishes, by the rejection of what is super- fluous in matter or quaint in style, while they retain all that is useful and interesting by a system of CON- CENTRATION.

NAPOLEON AND THE COAT OF MAIL. Bonaparte used to wear a coat of mail tinder his dress and seldom went out without it. When he was setting out for Belgium, lie was anxious to neglect nothing which should preserve his life from the dangers with which it was minaced by the league which all Europe had formed against him ; lie therefore, sent for a skilful workman, and asked him if he thought himself sufficiently skilful to make a coat of mail of such a texture that no ofiensive weapon could penetrate it or break its rivets. The workman replied in the affirmative, and demanded 18,000 francs for the coat, which Napoleon promised him. On the appointed day. the coat of mail was brought to tbe chateau Napoleon examined it with eagerness, and desired the artificer to put it on : he obeyed. The Emperor then took two pistols, saying, " We will now see if the coat of mail is such as you have asserted it to be." He fired instantly at the work man's breast. The coat of mail resisted. < 4 Now turn round," said he ; the armourer obeyed ; the Emperor fired again, and the ball struck the back of the armour, and the same result followed. The poor patient, half dead with fear, thought these two experiments were sufficiently conclusive, but he deceived himself. Bonaparte took a fowling- piece and resumed his experiments, firing again at the shoulders, back, and breast, of the trembling artificer. Fortunately, the coat of mail resisted that, and saved the inventor from tbe danger of such severe experi- ments. " How much do you ask for this bitter trial?" said the Emperor. " 18,000 francs, sire," uttered the almost expiring workman, in a voice scarcely audible. " No, sir," was Napoleon's reply, (< I will give 36,000 francs," and gave him an order for that sum on the Treasury.— Intelligence. STRUCTUUE OF ANCIENT AND OF MODERN BRIDGES.— Till lately, to unite the two banks of the stream so that a waggon might cross safely, was the sole aim. Our old bridges are clumsy and narrow; their arches are so small of span that a boat can scarccly pass through, and yet rise so high above the current, that a carriage mounts them with diffi- culty. The old bridge of London, indeed, with its lofty houses on either ledge, and its warded gates in the middle, must have looked picturesque ; but the stones were soft and thin, the arches small and narrow, and the landstools and piers were sunk so little below the bed of the river, that at every flood the inhabitant trembled. Geometrical skill and genius came at length with Rennic and with Telford info bridge architecture, and works were constructed worthy of the days of the Romans. Hoards were formed to keep off the streams; excavations were made deep below the bed of the river, till solid earth for the piers was found ; the water which oozed ill or arose from springs was expelled by Watt's steam engine ; piles of beech or elm, forty feet long, and pointed with iron, were driven by tbe impulse of machinery into soft or unsuitable foundations as close as they could be planted; a thick and thwartered coating of plank was laid over, and on the whole the squared blocks of the hardest granite were placed in mortar ground in a mill. When the pier rose fairly above the water, and another required to be built, the piles which formed the protecting hoard were extracted by that compact and ingenious instrument, the hydraulic machine of Bramah. Such was the way in which Rennie constructed Waterloo Bridge, and rendered it a work of surpassing strength and beauty.— Family Library, XIX. Lives of Archi- tects. PORCELAIN MANUFACTURE.— Another art, at lhat time ( 1722) unknown iu France, and indeed iu every part of Europe except Saxony, was the art of making porcelain, a name given to the beautiful translucent stoneware which is brought from China and Japan. Reaumur undertook to discover the process employed in making it. He procured specimens of porcelain from China and Japan, and also of the imitations of those vessels at that time made in various parts of Fiance aud other European countries. The true porcelain remained unaltered, though exposed to the most violeut heat which ho was capable of producing; but the imitations, in u furnace heated by no means violently, melted into a perfect glass. Hence he concluded, that the imitation- porcelains were merely glass, not heated sufficiently to be brought into fusion; but true porcelain he conceived to be composed of two different ingredients, one of which is capable of resisting the most violent heat which can be raised, but the other, When heated sufficiently, melts into a glass. It is this last ingredient that gives porce- lai n its translucency, while the other makes it refractory in the fire. This opinion of Reaumur was soon after confirmed by Father d'Entrecolles, a French missionary in China, who sent seme time after a memoir to the academy, describing the mode followed by the Chinese in the manufactory of their porcelain. Two substances are employed by them, the one called kaolin and the other petunse. It is now knowu kaolin is what we call porcelain- clay, and lhat petunse is a fine while felspar. Felspar is fusible in a violent heat, but porcelain- clay is refractory in the highest temper, atures that we have it iu our power to produce in furnaces.-^ iVafiontti Library.

Mr. Foulkes, Baker, of Bulwelly near Nottingham, to Lignum and Son, Manchester. Messrs. John Bulwell, near Nottingham, Sept. 27, 1828. GENTLEMEN, IHAVE frequently regretted that 1 have not in times past made that oeknowledgmenj which is justly due for the benefit my family has derived from vonr excellent medicine, the ANTI- SCORBUTIC DROPS. My son William, when about a year old, was afflicted with the Measles, which left a spot on his leg. This soon ulcerated and spread, forming a large wound. The surgeon to whom we applied succeeded iu healing tbe ulcer, but almost immediately afterwards an ulcer appeared upon his face, and the boy was dreadfully afflicted wiih running' sores upon h s neek and body ;* the discharge of mai- ler was so great, that we were obliged daily to change his linen. The physicians and surgeons in the neigh- bourhood were applied lo, but their skill was in vain; several olher remedies we resorted to proved equally ineffectual, and the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near 20 years. At this time I heard of Ihe virtues of your inestimable medicine, and afrer taking- six hollies, which I pur- chased from Mr. Stilton, of Notting- ham, an amend- ment began to take pJace, and perseverance in Inking- four bottles more effected a per feci cure. Jt is oa\ y six years since this was accomplished, for whieh 1 re- turn you my unfeigned thanks, and wish you to make it public, for the benefit of those who may be simu laily afflicted. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedieul servant, JOHN FOULKES. To Messrs. John Lignum & Son, Surgeons, Manchester. N. B. I know several other instances of extraordi- nary cures, performed by your Antiscorbutic Drops, iu ihis village. Those who doubt the truth of the above casp, inay apply personally, or by letter ( Post- paid) to Mr. Foulkes, or Mr. Sutton, Bookseller, Nottingham.
