[ FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] If was long ago said by Lord Burleigh, that the English constitution never could be ruined but hv her Parliament. So long us the government remained frue to itself, it shook off all tile assaults of its ene- mies, like dew drops from tlie lion's mane." But that which neither fhe decay of a thousand years, nor Ihe forte of embattled Europe, nor fhe genius of Napoleon, could effect, is on the point of being accomplished by the suicidal hands of ils own children. The prophecy of Montesqiijeii is likely fo he in- verted. England is not in danger of perishing because the legislature has become more corrupt than the executive, but because fhe executive has become more reckless than the legislature. The poiion which no, v no,-: ti,,,.., Kh the. veins of rue empire has oeeii inhaled from the most elevated sources ; it has flowed down through the arteries of the state from its highest, members. The " corruption" which has proved fatal to the ancient and v enerable fabric has not been the flaffcry of courts, the seductions of wealth, or the Selfishness of prosperity ; it has been the tumult of popular applause, arid the vanity of plebeian adula- tion. Borne forward on the gales of democratic ambition, the administration have inverted ( he usual order of nation, il decline.— Symptoms of ruin have appeared, while yet the political body was. in the vigour of youth ; and long before the extremities had begun to feel tlie decay of Time, the whole system has been thrown into convulsions from the vehement passions of the heart. Like the American Indians, they have lighted a forest to dress a scanty meal— but the fire has proved too strong for those who kindled it; and, like them, they are how driven befoie the flames, and dare not stop, lest they sl. ould be enve- loped in the conflagration. What can fie expected from a continuance of the Where are we to stop ? Ob- serve the astonishing progress which democratic ambition has made in the last six months. What a change of ideas, of language, of expectations! Al- ready, what a host of republican writers have sprung up, and how rapidly have the concessions which necessity has wruiig out of the conservative party augmented I The Times declares, that if the House of Lords will not pass the Bill, « ' means must be taken to make it part of the law of the land, without .

VALUABLE ESTATE OF FREEHOLD.| BY MR. ™ SMOUT, At the Bear Inn, in the Town of Newtown, in the County o'f Montgomery, on Tuesday, the 12th Day of July, 1831, ( unless Sooner disposed of by Private Contract, of which due Notice will be given,) be- tween the Hours of Three and six in the Afternoon, subject to Conditions .4 Capital MESSUAGE, FARM, and » LANDS, called BERTHDDU, and several other MESSUAGES, BLACKSMITH'S SHOP, LANDS, and Hereditaments adjoining thereto, situate in the Parish of LLAND1N AM, in the County of Mont- gomery, and in the Occupation of C. D. Williarae: Esq. or his Undertenants MONTGOMERYSHIRE FREEHOLD ESTATE, On Thursday, the Fourth Day of August next, at the Dragon Inn, in Montgomery, at Three o'Clock 111 the A fternoon, subject to such Conditions as will be then and there produced ( if not previously disposed of by Private Contract, of which due Notice will be given); ALL that capital FREEHOLD ES- TATE, called LLWYNMADOC, situate in the Parish of Llandyssil, in the County of Montgomery, comprising a comfortable Stone- built Family RE- SIDENCE, in a beautifully retired Situation; an excellent newly- erected MALTHOUSE, capable of wetting and drying Sixty Bushels of Barley regularly, and Store Rooms which will contain many thousand Bushels of Malt; also Two Hundred and Forty Acres or thereabouts of sound and fertile Arable, Meadow, . . nal, devoted apparently to writing down the national debt, vehemently urges the adoption of that " equi- table adjustment" with the public creditor, which has been seriously recommended by a leading member of Parliament, in his pamphlet on the currency. The adherents of administration make no secret of their determination, early next session, to carry the repeal of ihe corn laws through a reformed Parliament. Not a whisper of all this was heard of six months ago. It. has all sprung up like tbe pestilence that walks in darkness, since democratic ambition was excited by Reform ; in other words, since the prospect of power was conceded to the people. Where is all this to terminate ? Utter ignorance of history; or wilful blindness to undisputed fuels, can alone conceal the painful trufh, that since the pro- spect of power excited democratic ambition in this country, the march of revolution has been much more rapid than that which precedetl the Reign of Terror iu France. What arrested this fatal progress iu Great Britain in 1793? Was it the system of concession— fhe doctrine that mobs are irresistible— that the good- will of the people must be conciliated by yielding to their demands ? Was it the complete destruction of the whole constitutional influence of the conservative party in the Lower House? If these measures had been adopted, where should we have been now ? They were adopted on the other side of the channel, and the rule of Marat and Robespierre was the con- scquence. It was not thus that the British aristocracy of 1793 fronted the danger. Tbe march of intellect had not as yet taught them that peril is to be evaded by weakness, and that pusillanimity in the presence of an enemy is the best way to avoid a defeat. They had not then learned that concession to an insatiable opponent is the only mode of buying him off; and that the nation which gives a gratuity to its invaders to persuade them to retreat is most likely to be secured from future insult. They did not adopt the pusillanimous conduct of the Roman emperors, who raised vast sums to persuade the barbarians to | retreat, fondly trusting that when their backs were oncc turned tliey would never see their faccs again. They proceeded 011 the antiquated principle— sanc- tioned indeed by fhe Roman republic, adopted by all the greatest of mankind, the parent of the long line of British greatness, but wholly unworthy of modern illumination — that in moments of peril, the most resolute course is the most prudent; and that the danger of resistance is incomparably less than that of exciting the passions of the enemy by symptoms of intimidation. Acting on this principle, that the passion for democratic power grows with every grati- fication it receives, the British aristocracy resolutely faced tbe danger: tbe great bulk of tbe Whig nobles , acting under the direction of Mr. Burke, joined the administration ; the threatened disturbances came tu nothing ; popular ambition, like every passion, being deprived of its only food, hope, gradually declined ; and in a few years the island exhibited a more united people than it had ever done since the Ncrmati conquest.

Creichton, giving an account of the progress and decline of the cholera in Russia. It does not, bow- ever, appear that any mode of treatment has been discovered as a cure for this dreadful malady. The learned writer describes the pains attendant upon it to be excruciating beyond belief. [ Since Ihe above was w ritten we have procured Sir W. Creich- tou's account of the disease, which we subjoin].—- " General uneasiness; violent head- ache and giddi- ness : great languor; oppression at the chest; pain at the pit of the stomach and sides; a very weak pulse and frequent vomiting, first of undigested food, and then of'a watery fluid mixed with phlegm; frequent purging; severe pains; cessation, or very scanty secretion, of urine; excessive thirst; cramps in the legs, beginning nt the toes, and by degree* reaching the body; voice feeble and bourse; eyes dull, nnd sunk in Ihe head; the features changed and like those of a corpse ; coldness, contraction, aud bluish tinge of extremities; coldness over the whole body, the I ps and tongue becoming blue; cold and clammy perspiration. The vomiting and purging soon exhaust the patient ; ihe spasms be- come greater, attacking the most vital parts; the pulse ceases; the beating of the heart become* scarcely sensible ; and Ihe patient, after suffering: the most horrible martyrdom, dies quietly, having a few moments' ease just before bis end. The dura- lion of this malady is generally from 2- 1 to2S hours; but sometimes its course is still more rapid."

The object of tlie bills, his Lordship* slated, was to enable creditors to avail themselves of the property of persons wlio remained in prison after a certain period, and aiso to get/ hold ofthe property of those persons who went beyond, the seas for the purpose of avoiding the payment of their just tlehfs. HOUSE OF CO^ I. MONS!— HILRSDAY. OILTCLAR. SAI- ARIKS. TYTr.

Would be to pass a vote of censure on . Minis- ters. He therefore moved the previous question.— The motion gave rise to a long and very desultory debate % iri the course of which Sir J. Graham said, that all that government wanted was time, and that he thought they hail shewn how sincerely they desirki reduction The house then divided, when there appeared, for the motion 13, against it ' 21G.

The discussion was itdjoiirned fo • that day week. HOCSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. Ri FORM BILL. After several Petitions had been presented, Mr. Esfconrt tailed upon tfre Ministers to whether Mr. Gregson, Who drew up the Reform Bill, was him- self to blame for the manner in which the £ 10 rent, clause had been framed.— Lord Althorp and Lord John Russell distinctly avowed that no blame attached to Mr Gregson in the matter. Lord John Russell then moved the second reading of the Reform Bill; on which Sir J. Walsh lose, and spoke against the Bill, concluding by moving, as' an amendrnenf,- that it should be read a second t. me that day'six months. Mr. F. Clinton seconded the amendment.—- As, under the present system of representation, the coun- try had advanced in power, wealth, and intelligence, he would riot assent fo have it rashly tampered with,, but would resist, as far as in him lav* a bill which placed all our institutions in imminent hazard tor the mere purpose of theoretical experiment.. Sir James Macintosh, in a speech of great, length, supported the Bill, and opposed tiie amendment. Mr. BruCe supported the amendment, and at. con- siderable length detailed in strong language bis ob- jections to the Bill, particularly as it related to Scot- land. Mr. C. Ferguson and Mr. G. Knight opposed the amendment, and Lord Porchester supported it.— Mr. 11. ' A. Dunilns then moved Ihe adjournment of the debate to the following night, which was agreed to. Mr. C. W. W.

In these days, when the reproach of having sacri- ficed principles to office has been so fight Iv regarded, it must be refreshing to our readers to know, that an example of Ihe contrary practice was furnished at a critical period by a Shropshire gentleman : — " Sir Thomas Jones, Knight, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in the reign of King James IL refus- ing to pronounce for the dispensing power, sacrificed his office to his principles. Sir John Reresby, in his Memoirs, tells us, ' lhat he was informed by Mr. Jones, the Chief Justice's son, the day after his dis- missal, that his father upon that occasion observed to the King, that he was by no means sorry that he was laid aside, old and worn out as he Was in his service, but concerned that His Majesty should expect such a construction of the law from him as he could not honestly give; and that none but indigent, ignorant, or ambitious men would give their judgment as he expected : and that to this His Majesty made answer, it was necessary his Judges should be all of one mind.'"— Btakeway's Sheriffs of Shropshire. The Archbishop of Canterbury has introduced hi bill into Parliament " to restrain and regulate the holding Plurality of Livings and Benefices," and the second reading is fixed for an early day. His Grace's bill to effect a Composition of Tithes is to be read a second time on Tuesday next. LONDON— SATURDAY. The clause in the new Reform Bill, which provides, " lhat no tenant occupying premises at a yearly rent of no less than trn pound*, shall, by reason thereof, acquire a vote in the election for any city or borough if such rent shall be payable more frequently than once iu every half- year," is not lo be retained — Any person paying £ 10 a- year, whether quarterly or other- wise, is to come within the range of the Bill.— A public meeting vas held last week at Manchester relative to this clause; at which many of the working classcs who attended declared they would never be satisfied until they had universal suffrage! " When this clause— this very clause, with all its imperfections as they appear— came under the consi- deration of the able and honourable gentleman who lias bee i employed to draw the bill— we mean Mr. Gregson — that gentleman called the attention of Lord John Russell to its operation and consequences. His lord ship, so far from being surprised, seemed aware of that operation and those Consequences, and even expressed his opinion of the neceesity for throwing the elective franchise into the channels to which the proposed ilatise would naturally lead it. Mr. Gregson differed 111 opinion with his lord hip, and the question was referred to Lord Althorp, and after much consideration. Lord John Russell agreed to abandon it; and so the conference upon it ended. At a cabinet, however, which was held a short time after, Lord John met v.' i h more support and countenance, and after a second mature deliberation the clause was- inserted. " This being the case, Mr. Gregson, when he found lhat the insertion of the clause'was attributed to either Ihe inadvertence of the gentleman who'dre'w the'bill, or to some worse cause, and that its appearance in the hill was spoken of as being the result of Tory ma- noeuvre, did not hesitate to call'iipon Lord John Russell, and request a vindication of his character upon this point: but J, o.< l John Russell turned a deaf ear to the appeal, and adopted the system recommended by the l imes, of saying nothing about it, as the best way . of getting rid of it altogether. This, however, would not satisfy Mr. Gregson, than whom, as all those who know him know, there does uot exist a more honourable or higher- minded gentleman, ai d, in order to wash his hands of all farther connexion with persons who denied him common justice, he tendered his resignation of the . ollice which lie holds under gbvernment. " To this Lord Althorp demurred. He begged him to retain his offce, and promised him that on Friday he would explain the whole of the circumstances in' the House ot Commons; which accordingly his lordship omitted to do. " This is the plain statement, and a prettier picture of inadvertence, accident, mistake, and oversight, we think, never was exhibited; to say nothing of the personalconduci of the ministers to Mr. Gregson, or the insinuations cast by their diieftiou upon, the party to which Mr, Gregson politically belongs."— John Bull.

BELGIUM.— We have seen a letter to a commercial house of the highest rank, in which it is said that the Congress came to a division oli Friday evening as to receiving Prince Leopold on his own terms, and that ISO were for linn and 39 against him. A west- end correspondent, however, writes to say, " We arc able Instate, from unquestionable authority, that the political leaders at Brussels have kicked against a material point in the last arrangement, anrl that Prince Leopold is likely still to remain with us." The Prussian and Hamburgh papers to the 27th and 26th ult. bring intelligence from Warsaw up to the 20th It. appears that the attempt to prevent Ihe Junction of Kudigcr's corps with the main Russian army has beeii foiled, and thatthere is a daily expect- alinn of a great battle. Field Marshal Count Paske- wilscb had arrived in a steam vessel at Memel, and would soon afterwards tie in the field. There are many complaints on the part of the Poles against Iho Prussians for a breaehnt neutrality. And itis stated from Hamburgh, on the authority of a letter from Berlin, that some Russian troojin, having nttcmpted to break through the quarantine corps to escape from a pursuing Polish corps, were attacked by tile Prus- sia..', and a smart engagement ensued. This has Ihe srniblanc of impartiality, and, if correct, will serve « s a specif* « answer to the charges made against ( he Cabinet of JJcrlin of actively promoting the Russian jn. te rests.

THE GERMAN WOOL FAIRS.—- We learn from a gentleman who has just returned from ihe wool fairs of Breslau, Stettin, and Berlin, that the lower and middle qualities of wool have advanced in the German market. Wools below 20d. per lb. have sold 10 per cent, higher this year than last; from 20d. to 2s. 3d. per lb. they have been sold 5 per cent, higher; and ahove that price there is no advance. The supply is smaller than usual, and the wool is not well washed. A great number of foreigners were in the market— some from the United States, u hich is a new thing; the Netherlands buyers arc also again making their appearance, though their woollen manufacture has received so violent a shock; Ihe Prussian buyers are numerous, and give larger prices than the English thought it prudent to give— the woollen manufactures of Prussia being now very In i. k and flourishing. The English did not buy more than two- thirds the quantity they had intended to buy. Our informant says, that no part of the Prussian dominions has suffered from the cholera except Dantzic, and that every possible precaution is taken, hy military cordons, to prevent the spread of the disease. I. ubeck and Hamburgh are quite healthy, The people of Prussia are universally favourable to the cause of the Poles, though they daro not openly express their sentiments.

The following is an extract from a paper, tinder this title, in the number of the Cambrian Quarterly Magazine, just published : — " Montgomery is to he joined by old associates. Welsh Pool and the other places, which will here- after contribute towards the election of its nlrnili'T, formerly participated in the same invaluable right; until, in 1728, one of lluise resolutions of the House of Commons which have, from time to time, bren sweeping away, not the members indeed, but Ihe constituents of most of the English boroughs, extend- ing the arm of authorit> to Llanidloes, Llanfvllin, and Welsh Pool, declared the right of election io be in the burgesses of Montgomery only. The'following are extracts on the subject from Ihe journals :—• ' May 23, 1685. A petition of Charles Heibert, Esq. touching the election of the shire to\ vp of Mont- gomery ; also a petition of the mayor and burgesses of this town, and of the boroughs of Llanidloes, Poole, and Llanfvllin. ' June If). The house proceeded in the. 1 tearing of the merits of the said election ; and the counsel being called in, and heard at large upon the matter, ' Resolved, that the election of a burgess to serve in parliament for this shire town doth not belong to the burgesses oi Montgomery only. ' That the several burgesses of the several boroughs of Llanidloes, Poole, aud Llanfyllin, in the county of Montgomery, have a right to vote at the election ofa burgess tn serve in parliament for this shire town. ' That William Williams, Esq. is not duly elected. ' That the late election of a burgess to serve for this shire town is a void election, and that a warrant be ordered for a new writ. ' April 20,1728. Resolved , that the right of election of the said shire town is in tne burgesses of the said shire town only.' " The town of Machynlleth, though an ancient borough, and previously a contributor towards the elections, does not appear to have claimed its right at either of Ihe above periods. " The resolutions of 1085 and 1728 being at vari ance with each other, the burgesses of Llanidloes, Welsh Pool, and Llanfyllin, have had a pow^ r to assert their right of voting for a member for'Mont gomery, before another Committee of Ibe House of Commons, hy a statute of 28 Geo. 111.; and also an appeal within twelve calendar mouths against any future decision, is given by the same Act. They were all equally entitled to this privilege hy the 27th of Henry VIII. which empowered Wales to send twelve representatives fur the counties, and as many for all the ancient boroughs. Welsh Pool, Machyn- lleth, Llanfyllin, and Llanidloes were four of these ancient boroughs; and they continued to exercise the right of voting for nearly two centuries ( from 1536 to 17- 27), when it was resolved lhat the right of election was in the borough of Montgomery only." REPRESENTATION OF KIDDI RMINSTER.— An address from Mr Sergeant Russell, announcing him- self as a candidate for the representation of Kidder- minster, on the Reform Bill passing, has heen pub- lished, in which he says—" The Corn Laws afford another subject of great interest. I do not hesitate to slate that I trust the time is not far distant when they may be safely and consistently repealed." The learned gentleman arrived at Kidderminster on Wed- nesday morning last, and we are informed that on the termination of his canvass that evening, the signatures to the declaration in his favour amounted to 210. The canvass was to be resumed the next day. The number of- voters in Kidderminster has been computed at between 400 and 500. We believe a canvass has been likewise commenced for another candidate, a gentleman in the neighbourhood ; and Mr. Richard Godson, the barrister, and Member for St. Albau's, has also put forth an address to the inhabitants. Mr Godson, however, confines himself merejy to the request that they will, for the present withhold their promises, not signifying whether he purposes or not to follow up the intention he avowed a short time ago, of soliciting their suffrages upon fhcif becoming invested with the elective franchise. STAFFORD SESSIONS.— In his Address to the Grand Jury, { he Chairman, Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart regretted that he could not congratulate them on a diminution of crime in the county, the Calendar pre scnting a greater number of prisoners for trial than usual at fills season of the year. He remarked, that in some cases the off ncescharged against the prisoners were of an exceedingl)' trifling nature; for instance, a boy Win' charged with stealing one halfpenny, and another with stealing three eggs j and he thought it much to be regretted that sotne legislative enactment did not empower magistrates to dispose summarily of such cases, without subjecting the parties to the parade of public trial, and the county to the expense of prosecution. The Chairman further remarked, that a plan for fhe enlargement of the Coufity Gaol, admirably adapted to crtsufe the security, Ihe health, and the full employment of the prisoners, had been approved by the magistrates, and that tenders would be forthwith obtained and the work proceed without delay. A debt of about £ 5,000 would be brought upon the county by the proposed enlargement, but it was one that could not be avoided. LONDON MAIL TO CHESTER.— We regret to hear, that in consequencc of the little patronage which the London ." Mail has received, it will cease to run from this city aft< r to- day. The London letters, therefore, which will be conveyed in future as far as Lichfield, in a one- horse gig, will arrive here about seven o'clock in the evening, and be despatched at half past six in the morning.— Chester Courant. EMPLOYMENT IN IRELAND.- Mr. Stanley's bill for a loan on the subject of employment in Ireland appoints five commissioners with salaries, secretary, and solicitor. It gives power to lend money on security. Fifty thousand is to he granted, if so much he subscribed ; Ihe money to be lent is five hundred thousand ; the works to be calculated tn give present employment to the poor— to encourage industry, and to be of public utility.

OPINIONS OF, THE PRESS, On the Appearance of• the First and Second Numbers, published in May dnd June, 1831. rg^ riE METROPOLITAN. This new 5 magazine is now before us, and gives golden promise of the future. Some, of the best writers of the best days of the New Monthly are visibly present, or we forswear all judgment.— Athmcpum. The opening of the month is distinguished by the commenccment- of a new magazine. The Metropolitan, under the editorshipof Mr. Thomas Campbell, who has seceded from the New Monthly. An union of very clever men may produce a work that people must buy; and such men are likely enough to join under the banners of a name that adds lustre lo periodical liter- atiue. The ground on which Mr. Campbell starts is independence— it is the ground on which we ourselves stand, and we heartily wish him success: if we can lend him a hand, he may rely upon us. His intentions are good, his public views liberal, his spirit energetic and manly.— Spec'ator. A new candidate appears in the list this month, — The Metropolitan, edited by Mr. Thomag Campbell. This, we believe, is t! ic offspring of tiie separation of lhat gentleman from Mr.' CoJburn. Who may lose by that to which we allude, we shall not inquire; but the nation at large seems likely to gain as The Metropolitan stands fairly on its own legs, and does not meanly steal Ihe name, or studiously ape the appearance of any rival. Its pages present. an interesting variety. Among the treasures of this Number, we were much struck with the picture of Lord Brougham's Levee. It is full of curious information.— Sunday Times. The Metropolitan. Such is the title given by Mr. Thomas Campbell ( who has seceded from the Burling- ton Street establishment) to one of the best periodicals of the day. Great pains appear to have been bestowed in the arrangement of the miscellaneous matter. ' Ihe literary notices ate written in a'spirit of great fairness and impartiality; the light articles are sketchy and amusing; the serious articles are bold and nervous; and tlie execution of the whole work indicates " the pen of agenius," and " the discriminating mind of Campbell the poet."— The News. The number for June possesses three sterling reeom-. ma'ndations— first, a poem on a worthy subject, " The death of Lord Falkland"— one of Lord Clarendon's favourite heroes— finished in his very best maimer, by Jaincs Montgomery, tbe author of the " Wanderer of Switzerland;" secondly, nn elaborate prose essay, entitled a " Retrospect of Literature," by the same accomplished writer; and thirdly, " Lines on the View from St. Leonard's," by Thomas Campbell, which remind us of his eai iier pnems, and rival them in ele- gance, if not in tenderness and chastened vigour of expression. A Magazine thus powerfully recom- mended, scarcely needs to ha\ e its other excellencies pointed out, though these are for the most part of a superior nature, and such as cannot fail to become popular.— The Sun. Mr. Thomas Campbell has lately retired from the editorship of the New Monthly, and assumed that of the Metropolitan; and we have now the pleasure of presenting to our readers some specimens of the w ork, which has thus appeared before the public, under Ihe auspices of our accomplished countryman. We select two extracts, one in prose and the other in verse : the former on the Political Tirnes and the Eleclion's ; the latter, Lines on the J lew from St. Leonards, by Mr. Campbell; and we need scarcely remark, that while we concur in the political sentiments expressed ill the former, we are delighted to trace in the latter the master- hand of a poet belonging to the classical school, whose exquisitely polished verse reminds us of the music in Milton, Thomson, and Akenside, Combining, as it does, the poetry of thought with the dignity and purity of English versification.— New North Briton. The above are selected from upwards of ONE HUNDRED favourable notices of the work from the press of' the United Kingdom. * » * The THIRD NCMSKR, published on the 1st of July, contains a new Poem on Poland, by Mr. Camp- bell No. 2 of Mr. James Montgomery's Lectures delivered at the Royal Institution— A Continuation of the article on the Present State of Poland, commenced in the First Number, and derived from authority—- No. 3 of the " Lite of a Sailor" — A Galley- Story,' bv the Author of " The Naval Sketch Book"— No.' 2 of " The Pacha of many Tales," by the Author of " The King's Own"— State of Parlies in Dublin, by tile Anllior of" Sketches of the Irish Bar"— together with a vast number of valuable articles from the most esteemed writers of the day.

Winners lo pay One Sovereign rT « Upwards of thirty years ago the " own of VVignn was thrown into the greatest, consternation by the mysterious disappearance of two young men, one a weaver residing in the neighbourhood, named Peler Hownrth, and the other a recruit, of the 03d regiment, named Draper. Both the young men had been seen entering the Hoe- Buck public house together, but never were observed to leave it by nft'y person who knew them. Circumslanees wore such a suspicious aspect at. ihe time as to fasten the actual guilt of the young men's murder upon Mel ling, the landlord of the Roe- Buck, and certain of its inmatesand a medical man not. remarkable either for the soundness of h s Understanding or for his temperance," who made thi* his house, related a dream of h s, wherein he saw the murder committed— that the servant, maid held the vessel into which the blood flowed— that the guilty parties attempted to sink the bodies in the Douglas, which runs at the hacK of the premises, but. finding this impracticable they then buried them in the garden— with other details of flesh- creeping, blood- freezing minuteness. The authorities wrote to the Commander of the Forces in the ] sle of Wight, at that, period the depot, of the 63d regiment, and were informed by lhat officer that. Draper was then under his command, and preparing for India., Thus part of the story was disproved, hut what had become of Howarth ? So convinced were the inhabitants generally that the murder had been perpetrated, that the place pointed out by the surgeon, as seen in his dream, was examined, but in vain, tjere the affair rested for years, but these dreadful reports brought Howarth's mother to an untimely grave, and entailed expenses on the family which reduced them to poverty. Some years ago the matter was again revived by a surmise industriously circulated, that Mel ling, being on his death- bed, had acknowledged the bloody deed, and another search was made, but in vain ; still the general opinion remained unchanged, and fhe case of Melting was looked upon as a solitary exception to the truth of the adage that u murder is sooner or later found out," when a few weeks ago, to fhe indescribable astonishment, of Howarth's surviving friends, he presented himself, and was instantly recog- nised by 1 of his sisters He gives the following account of himself:— After leaving home, he obtained from his employer 18 or 19 shillings, went into the Roe- Buck, and was there robbed of his money. Not daring to face his father, from whom he expected severe treatment, he resolved to leave the neighbour- hood. He repaired to Manchester, w& s employed by a dyer, and resided there four years. He then enlist- ed as a soldier, was sent to India* remained there ' 21 years, and was discharged on a pension of 17d. per day. He returned to England six years ago, married, and had come once more to visit the scenes of his youthful days, and to wipe off the odium which had been cast on the life and memory of the late Nehemiah Mel ling.

Ordinaries at the Castle ( nn, and Crcwn ami Star, 1 and Ball as usual t JAMES BACH, Clerk.- Some curious facts relative to the state of trade in genera) may be collected from the printed statements of the produce brokers, which are usually in circula- tion at this period of the year.— In the article of coffee the most remarkable feature is the great increase of its consumption in the United States of America^ where, owing to the reduction of the duty, it. is estimated to have advanced from a consumption of j2,500 tons to 20,000 tons within the year, which is supposed to be nearly double the consumption of { jlrcji. t Britain, A considerable quantity of coffee has - in conV^ uence been exported lo the United States from tUis country. The exports of this article to the Continent are stated to have fallen off materially, compared with what they were in the first half year of owing probably to the great political excite- mcut which has prevailed, and which, by disturbing credit, has prevented the accumulation of large stocks of this and some other articles.— On the subject of cotton it is stated that the importation into Great Britain-, for the first five . months of 1831, compared with. the same period of last year, has decreased, the quantity being 403,000 bales in 1S30, and 368,000 in 18IL- T he consumption of the article would nut appear; however, to have diminished, as the deliveries tor iYonie ' consumption since the Ist of January have benV'at the rate of 18,200 bags weekly, while fhe average weekly consumption during 1830 was 16,000 la^' s.: There has been some partial cessation of the demand" for export yarns lo the North of Europe, but that of ra* v cotton for export, notwithstanding the'disturbed state of the.. Continent, is said to be decuTeffly on. the increase.— In indigo, so far as regards ' its production in the East Indies, the crops are sup- posed to be somewhat less than those of the preceding yCaVy but the Stock in hand appears nevertheless to he ^ aibing on the consumption. The purchases of the'ftrtScle in this country seem likely to fall off, as merchants, but particularly the French, are ref^ rtingr^ o the countries where it is produced for tMr supply, and they of course ship it direct for thejr own ports. The French have purchased in the Calcutta market this season about 7,000 chests of indigo, part, of which have already arrived at Havre and Bourdeaux. The lo%* price which indigo has home for some time past will check, it is thought, to a certain extent, its production, and some of the large factories in the East are said to be on the point of being abandoned. Sugar is believed likely to yield a deficient crop in the present year, from the West Indies, Detncrara, Trinidad, Mauritius, India, and Cuba j but the increase of production of this impor- tant article is so great in Brazil as to promise, in some degree, to supply the deficiency in other parts of the world. The consumption of sugar in Great Britain appears to be somewhat on the decline. From the 1st of January to the 31st of May, 1830, the quantity oh which dutj was paid amounted to 84,615 tons 5 ai d for the same period of l « 3l to 83,51* 0. It is thought probable, however, that the dealers have smaller stocks on hand. The trade in sugar is said to he in a depressed state; and, as one mode of relief, application has been made to Government to allow the use of molasses in the breweries 5 but, no decision ' liais yet been given. The circulars of the brokers, it should'be remarked, are to be received with some allowance, as they endeavour, in a certain degree, to adapt themselves to the views of their customers, especially when they have any large speculations in hand ; but those facts, arc selected which are least liable to a suspicion of that, sort, as well as of the most general interest, and. from the reports of ihose houses whose character should place theai above wilful misrepresentation. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Friday, an action was tried Dean fy Van's v. Mirart, brought by the well- known boot- makers, in Bond street, to recover £ 42. 12s. for boots and shoes supplied to the defendant, the son of the hotel keeper, Brook- sireet, a student at Cambridge. The defendant put. in a plea of infancy, which was admitted by the plaintiffs, who contended the goods supplied were necessaries. Two of the plaintiffs' shopmen proved his having boots, shoes, slippers, and boot trees, to the amount charged in the bill.— They were forwarded to " E. J. Mi vart, Esq. Redtown Hall, Lincolnshire," and " Peter house College, Cambridge."— Cross- examined: £ 2. 14s. is the usual charge for a pair of Wellington hoofs in the superior shops, and a guinea for a pair of blue morocco slippers. The defendant was not at all looking like a boy : he wore a large pair of black whiskers, and drove about the town in a buggy, and associated with men of fashion. We charge £ 1. 10s. for mending a pair of boots; but then we made the old ones new ( laughterJ.— The Lord Chief Justice: Then you charge too little ( laughterJ ? Upon look- ing at the account,. I find that in the course of seven months twelve pair of boots, from £ 2 14s. to £ 3, were supplied to the defendant, and four pair of shoes.— Mr. Samuel Hobey, boot- maker, deposed that the prices charged were the regular prices. Cross examined : We charge according to the quality of the materials and the workmanship; " there are many of you, gentlemen at the bar, that will take a brief for a guinea, but others will not take one under five ( loud a. nd continued laughter, in which his Lord- ship heartily joined); 1 have made boats for tbe Duke of Wellington and Lord Palmerston, and I always charge them £ 2. 16s. a pair."— Mr. Sergeant Taddy : Aye, I suppose that was when in office ( laughterJ?— No, Sir, not exactly; 1 charge them the same now.— Mr. Sergeant Taddy addressed the Jury for the defendant. As fathers, he would ask them, did tfi'ey not think that £ 42. 12s. was a very unnecessary charge for boots and shoes for a youth in set'en months ? His learned friend wished to' show that because his client wore black whiskers he should be charged with twelve pair of boots and four pair of shoes in seven months. If the box were filled with two penny postmen, he would ask them whether it was possible for either of them to wear out such a quantity of boots and shoes in seven months? The question for the Jury was, w^ re those extravagancies, or were they necessaries? The Chief Justice summed up, and the Jury found for the p aintiffs— Damages, Twenty- five Pounds. FRANCE. Paris, June 26.— There exists in Paris a vast deal of discontent on publ c grounds, and, unhappily, an immensity of individual corporeal suffering, If the late emeutes have been fortunately unproductive of extensive evils, it is to be ascribed to the forbearance of a very large portion of the lower orders, who are " bottling up" their rage for explosion iri July. There is a moral certainty that there will be " something" ( quelque- chose J on the anniversary of the three days. Void a few of the items,— the proclamation of a Republic — La Fayette, President,— a horrible report published by a Parisian Journal, of the projected assassination of an individual whose name, stilt ion in life, and virtues, ousrht. to protect him against, all such suggestions, lest it should act as dn incitement; how ever, it is pretty certain that " the schools" ( students) intend planting a tree of liberty in the Place Louis XV. Place de Greve, or lace de la Bastille ; for all those situations are spoken of. This will be opposed by Government if attempted. Visits to the Chambers and to the Palais Royal with Addresses, calling for Ihe abolition of the hereditary Peerage, the annexation of Belgium to France, immediate succour to Poland, and the extension at home of the elective franchise, are also said to be in contemplation 5 but that which is the most innocent* and which will appear the most strange— that also which is, the most certain to be executed, is a project of the cochcrs ( cabriolet and hackney- coach drivers) to open one of the pits adjoin ing the east front of the Louvre, in which the bodies of some hundredsof the poor fellows killed in storming it on the 29th July last were deposited, and to take from them the remains of one of their own comrades who had been greatly beloved by his friends, and who had distinguished himself in the revolution. Having done Ihis they are to place the remains in a colli and bear them to a neighbouring church, where they will have a grand service performed for the repose of the soul of their friend ; and to pay the clergy for performing which they have already subscribed 300 francs! The service over, they will carry fhe coffin and its contents to Pere la Chaise, and bury theni in state. Government mean to assemble in Paris no fewer than 30,000 regular troops upon this momentous occasion. Nothing can. exceed in deadly atrocity the engravings that disgrace the shop- windows of the prlntsellers of Paris— all directed against the Govern- ment, the Clergy, or the King. Influenza, in a severe form, is at present prevailing extensively in London and many of the provincial towns. It commences like a common cold, but is soon discovered to be more serious ; the constitutional disturbance being much more considerable than the catarrhal spmptoms would seem to account for. The attacks generally last from two days to a week, passing off with a perspiration, and, in the worst cases, leaving Ihe patients considerably reduced. The last epidemic of this description, so remarkable for its extent and ? cverity, was in 1803. Every precaution has been taken to prevent fhe introduction of cholera morbus into Belgium. The latest accounts from Riga are much moref ivourable; the new cases are fewer,. and in place of above one- half dying, the recoveries for several days were in the proportion of three to one death. The medical men were sanguine of wholly exterminating the dis- ease within a short time. fHiscclItmrciis Entelligrncr. A N!- W SPFCIFS OF PHEASAXT,-^ Among the1 numerous interesting jiathral productions recently brought from China by i\ 1r. Reeves, it was with pleasure we observed a magnificent, new species of pheasant, which will be a most in'erestinfj addition to the a\ iaries of Europe; and as if comes from the same part, of the world as the gold and silver kind, there is scarcely a doubt but that, with a little care, it mav be induced to brcnl in this country. It iw about three times the si/ e of the common pheasant,' aiid has a tail from fi ve to six feet, long ; it is of a, pale buy colour, ornamented with black moons, an<{ fhe head, wing, and under part of the body, black, varied with white; the tail feathers are black and brown banded.—- Miv Reeves brought with him from Canton two . living specimens, but one of them un- fortunately died in the channel ; the other is now in the gardens of the Zoological Society, where it will, most probably soon recover its fine tail. A beautiful specimen, in nearly perfect plumage, brought, by Mr. Reeves for General Hardwlclte. has been presented l> y that gentleman to the collection of fhe l.' riiisii Museum. The tail feathers of this bird have been Jong known, two having been exhibited in the Museum for many years; but the bird which bore them was first, de- crib^ d , in General Hardwicke's Illustrations of Indian Zoology, from a drawing: sent by Mr. Reeves, where it was called the Reeves* Phc sunt ( Phaxianus lieevesiij. At Bromsgrove, on Friday last, ( being Bromsgrove fair day) a robbery to a srfiouS amount was com- mitted in Ihe house of Mr. Irish, the Hop- pole Inn. Taking1 advantage of the people of the house being1 busily engaged uith their numerous guests, some- villains got into the bed- chamber^ where they broke open a bureau, and succeeded in carrying off Broms- grove and Coventry bank- notes, ami sovereigns to the amount of i. 200 ! As soon as the robbery was discovered, every effort was Used to trace the thieves, but without success. Several of our tradesmen have, within the last few dav*, been taught, to their cost, the folly of giving credit to strangers, without first satisfying themselves of their responsibility. About three weeks ago, two persons, one calling himself Mr. Owen, and fhe other Thomas Close, came to this city, signifying that they intended to make it their permanent place of abode,' and fhe former took a small private residence near Barbourne Brook, and the latter opened a shop in the general line in Newport street. They then dis- tributed their orders pretty freely to the tradesmen in their neighbourhoods'; Close obtaining credit by re- ferring to Owen, who wears a tolerably respectable appearance, and, having a good address, filled the character of a referee very well. This sort of traffic they carried on up to Saturday last, and both hail succeeded in obtaining property to some amount. However, in consequence, it would seem, of some of their creditors becoming rather pressing for pay- ment, these fwo adventurers began fo think it time they changed their quarters, and on Monday morning both houses were found abandoned, and the goods of course all cleared off; their dupes being left without the slightest clue as to whither their customers had fled, or the smallest chance of obtaining payment, of their debts. Owen stands about 5 feet 9 inches high, is a well looking man ; Close is shorter, and has the appearance of a groom.— Worcester Herald. We have been led to visit a new discovery in Hy- draulics, which for the moment has been permitted to be erected in the unfinished building of the Madeleine. Wc found it realized all the ideas that had been given us of its union of astonishing force with extraordinary simplicity It consists of a simple machine not ex-- ceeding 22 inches in height and 15 inches iu dia- meter, which, by the strength of two men, throvs a column of water, 5000 cubic inches a minute, to the height of 150 feet, through tubes of three inches in diameter; the whole apparatus costing not more than £ 25 sterling. This discovery must, when known, supersede liie use of every known pump or water engine. It is equally applicable to the purpose of raising the element from the bottom of a well, wh it- ever may be its depth, or of forcing it from any reservoir to the tops of houses or other eminence,' acting with even increased power in an inclined or horizontal direction. If is very portable, and wi!) assuredly supersede all the expensive and complicated machinery at prespnt in use for clearing fhe water from mines or quarries ; its advantages on board ship ill case of a leak are incalculable. We recommend Ihe curious fo take an opportunity of viewing the machine itself, which fhey may do by applying any Thursday or Saturday between two and four o'clock,' at Ihe gates of the enclosure opposite the rue RoyaJ St. Honore.— tialignanCs Messenger. A man, nSthied Appleford, was taken info custody in this city yesterday se'nnight, a number of £ 5 notes of the Shrewsbury and Kington Banks having been paid away by him, and others found up in his person, which it was suspected he had not h nestly corne byi He gave a very unsatisfactory and confused account of himself, stating that he was a pipe- maker, from Bristol, and that soon after his arrival in Worcester ort Wednesday evening, lie found the notes, rolled np, near the Cathedral! He wis remanded for further1 examination. On Saturday, information was received that a gentlemen, residing near Shrewsbury, had had his pocket picked, at Brampton Brian f lir, on Wed- nesday, of Shrewsbury, Kington, and other notes, to ( he amount of £ 100 On Monday this gentleman arrived here, when Appleford was re- fx 1 mined, an « t again remanded, in the expectation that on : of the notes can be identified.

The timbers used in her are of English oak arid African oak, the latter being placed in the less important parts. They are precisely of the size and substance used in a frigate of the largest class. The wheels, instead of projecting from the sides, as in ordinary steam- vessels, will be let into the sides, a digression equal to about, three feet being created by running the timbers up straight along the space to be occupied by the paddles, which are fo be less broad than those generally seen.

In our last it was stated that an attempt had been made on the Saturday n ght preceding to assassinate a young female in this town. The pistol first dis- charged by her assailant fortunately missed her, but the contents of the second were driven completely through her r. Cck. Though severely, she does not appear to have been dangerously wounded, u d she is now said to be in a fair way of recovery. The assassin in the confusion escaped detection nnd absconded, ami though it was soon ascertained who he was, his retreat remained undiscovered until the evening of Monday, when information was received that a yonrig man answering his descriptor! had been found dead in the neighbourhood of Darlaston, evidently destroyed by his own hand. Persons were immediately dispatched to the spot, and Ihe body was clearly identified. <> n inqu ry, it appeared lhat he proceeded, after Ihe attempt, to the vicinity of Bilston, where he remained the whole of the Sunday, evidently in a very distressed state of mind ; and that toward * the evening he left Ihe public house in which he had been staving, arid was found on the following morning partially immersed in the canal, having, it would seem, first, wounded himself seriously, if not mortally, in fhe head by a pistol- ball, and af'er vards thrown himself into the water.

This ship is 8AILOFI AM . JFJLJJRMAL,* AMD COJJEHER OF WAJLESO PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. We have had ouratteiitiou called to Ihe following observations,' which appeared iu the 28th Number of the Edinburgh Review:— " We may conclude with safely, that there are evils in the present political situation of the coun- try, and that these are supposed to be owing to the misconduct of its governors," or to the, defective constitution of the government itself. Taking all this, however, and much mere than this, for grant- ed, we. shall still have litany questions of the utmost moment aud delicacy to determine. We shall still have to determine whether the existing evils arc capable of any remedy; whether the remedies which have been suggested are likely to prove effectual; aud whether they could be applied with- out hazard of greater evils tiluft those which they were expected to cure. , " The great leading evils in our actual condition, — passing over such as arise front local circum- stances or individual malversation, may be reduced, perhaps, to the three following heads:— l'st, the burden of our taxes ; 2tl, Ihe preponderating influ- ence of Ibe Ciowii,~ arising from the enormous extent of our establishments," and of tbe patronage consequently vested ill the Sovereign; and, 3dly, the monopoly uf political" power whicli the . very permanency and nature of the constitution has a tendency to create iii the hands of a small part of Ihe nation, aud the growing jealousy and disaffec- tion which'tliisls likely lo breed in the body of the people. " The real magnitude and danger of these vari. ous evils is very far,' lis'we conceive, from being in the direct ra^ iu of their popular estimation. The most palpable aud vexatious of them all is far from being, in a political point of view al least, the most grievous or alarming, ' fhe actual burden of the taxes dots' not necessarily indicate any" thing unsound or corrupt iu the constitution or adminis- tration of Ihe government. It may'be ascribed, in a great degree, to the peculiar circumstances iu which the country lias been placed, and to the rash and sanguine leinper'bf ils inhabitants. The weight of our taxes is owing lo the wars, in which ihe Government has always been seconded by a great majority of the people,— if, indeed, it would not be more correct to say, tiial it has engaged in them on their instigation. This is an evil, therefore, for which Ibe people have really lo blame themselves, and not the Government; and which, tvitli a View to their political rights, muv be considered as acci dental, if it be not iu reality symptomatic of their extent. " For these, and for all the other disorder!.' which threaten our body politic, the popular prescription is Parliamentary Reform. Ail amendment in tbe representation of Ibe Commons, we are assured, is to ease us of our taxes,— lo reduce tbe influence of tbe Crown,— and lo heal all breaches, and heart, burnings between the governors and the governed. • We are rather partial to this' medicine upon the whole ; but it requires no ordinary skill and cau- tion ih thb preparation and dosing; aud, at all events, we are perfectly certain it'is'iiot capable of effecting half the wonders that are expected from it. No man of sense has faith In universal specifics ; and it is the part of an enemy,' or a very pernicious friend, to degrade this useful thedicine, by investing it with the attributes of a quack's panacea, and thus effectually'to exclude it from all regular prac- tice, as well as lo discredit it in the eyes of the 8oberminded and judicious. While we are of opinioiij'therefore, that very serious and substantial good may be effected by a reform of Pailiameiit, we think if our duty tb say, thai 110 such good as seems to be iu the contemplation of its' present advocates can possibly result from it; and that while the experiment itself is by uo means free from danger," it would be altogether extravagant to hope lhat it could deliver us from any considerable part of the evils we have enumerated. With regard fo tbe faxes, in the first place, it appears' to me in the highest degree chimerical to imagine that any change in the plan of representa- tion should sensibly lessen their amount. The greater part are actually levied to pay the interest of the debts which have been contracted. That [ the late] war, and almost all the other wars by which our debt has been created, has hitherto been most unquestionably popular, and it is reasonable, therefore to presume, would lia"/ e been carried 011 to at feast as great an extent by a legislature more immediately under the influence of popular feelings. As to the superior economy which it has been sup- posed that such a legislature would be inclined and enabled to observe, « e villi confess that we are unable tu sec any just grounds for such an expecta- tion. " Though we were to admit lhat a reformed Par- liament would be considerably more honest than 1111 unreformed one, we are not exactly aware tbat it must also be considerably wiser. The same errors of policy, therefore, lhat give rise to unprofitable expense ut present, may be expected to produce tbe same cffects hereafter; nor is Ihere any ground for thinking, tbat a Parliament chosen mainly 011 accoutit of its good intentions will commit fewer blunders than one selected iu a great degree from a regard to ils skill and its habits of business. " Upon the whole, then, we are clearly ofopinion tbat whatever olher benefits might result from 11 Reform in Parliament, it could be of no sensible benefit to Ihe people by lightening the burden of their taxation ; and that lie. delusion can be greater, and iu some respects more mischievous, than that which represents these two things as essentially connected with each other. To this false opinion, however, and to tbe pains which have been taken to disseminate it, we are perhaps indebted for a good part of the apparent zeal and activity which has lately been manifested 011 the subject of reform. " It is perfectly obvious, tbat if the House of Commons, with ils absolute power over Ibe sup- plies, and its connexion with the physical force of the nation, were lo be composed entirely of the representatives of the yeoinaury of the counties and the tradesmen of Ihe burghs, and were to be actu- ated solely by the feelings and interests which are peculiar lo that class of men, it would infallibly convert the government into a mere democracy, und speedily sweep away the incumbrance of King und Lords, who could not exist at all, therefore, if tbey had not au influence in this assembly. But even supposing that Ibis consequence would not immediately follow, is it not obvious, in the second place, that if the House of Lords and llie Sovereign had 110 means of influencing the determination of the Commons within their own walls, they could only coiitroul them in the exerc ise of their legisla- tive function, by throwing out or negativing the bills which had been passed by ttic unanimous assent of that House3— Now, Ihere is no man, we believe, who can hesitate as to the consequences of Such a mode of controul as this. If Ihe House of Commons were to send tip a series of popular bills, which were successively negatived by tbe Sove- reign, the consequence would infallibly be, an insurrection and a civil war ;— and if, on the other hand, he were to pass, as a matter of course, every bill which had been voted by a great majority of that House, at the same time that he and his servants had no influence over their deliberations, Jhe coiitroul of Ihe executive would be utterly lost uud abandoned ; and the government, as we have already said, would be changed into a virtual republic. It seems to us to be a matter of neccs- sity, therefore, thai the Crown should have a certain influence in the House of Commons. That of the nobility is still less irregular. Ill point of fact, indeed, the nobility of England are no longer distinguishable, as lo their interests, from her opu- lent commoner*; nor is there any intelligible ground for excluding the influence of the one, more than that of the olher. If it be true, indeed, that the whole force of the government actually resides in Ihe House of Commons, which we take lo be obvious lo every one who will take the pains to reflect upon it; it follows lhat the Nobility, as well as the Crown, must cither have something to say in its deliberations, or must have nothing to say in the government. Their separate functions serve other purposes indeed; but, acting ill these, they could exercise no effectual coiitroul over the Commons, though they might provoke Ihem to their destruc- tion. " These propositions might be copiously illus- trated by the whole history of the English govern- ment, ever since the increasing weight and conse- quence of the Commons gave them an effective power in the proceedings of Ibe Legislature. " Willi these impressions, then, not only of the liariulessiiess, bul of the vital necessity of a certain infusion of Royal and aristocratic*! influence in that assembly whicli virtually engrosses the whole power of the Legislature, it would be easily under- , stood tbat we have no great indulgence for those notions of reform, which seem lo be uppermost in the minds of some of its warmest supporters. " The only difficulty with which it appears to us lhat this great question is attended, arises from the circumstance of Ihis interference of tbe Crown and tbe Nobility . in the representation of the Commons, not being avowed or regulaleil by the public law of the land It is practised in a sort of covert and underhand manner ; and this gives an appearance of guiltiness to the lliiug itself, which naturally embarrasses those who are called on to defend il, and excites a rational, apprehension of its danger and illegality. If Ihe thing, however, be proved to be actually beneficial, the argument drawn from appearances and presumptions must be admitted to be sufficiently answered. " While. the nation retains lis curiosity and inte- rest about public events— while there are men of all parlies and all sorts of opinions iu Parliament — While there is publicity and freedom of speech there ami through the country—- we have 110 fear of losing our liberties, or even of any serious attempt being nfa'de lo infringe them." 3/ tnperlai parliament llOUSF. OF LORDS— TUESDAY. TRfiOK SYSTEM. Lord WHARNCLlf I E brought in a bill to regulate the payment of wages to labourers, and to remedy the evils resulting from the truck s\ stem. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TCESDAt. SALARIES. . Mr. S. WORTI. EY said be wished to put a question to liie noble lord opposite, in reference lo the repot;! of a committee appointed last session; fo inquire inlo tbe possibility of effecting certain reduCftouS in the amount of public salaries. That committee, it < iaS understood,~ tiad recommended that the salary of the President of the Board of Control should be reduced from £' 5000 per annum to £ 35l! 0, without adducing any reason for such a reduction, and no adequate reason for it, iii his opinion, could poss lily be assigned. He believed that 110 public officer had applied himself more laboriously to bis duties, and he therefore took the liberty of asking whether it was in the contemplation of government to accede lo that suggestion. To adopt it or not, he was aware, de- pended entirely on the discretion of Ihe Treasury, and he had 110 doubt that, if acted oil, it would have the effect of materially'lowering the efficiency of the board, as th'fe post would probably henceforward be offered By government only as a step to some higher office. Should it, however, be the intention of minis- ters to acquiesce in this reduction, he should deem it necessary to bring the subject regularly before the house, ih'order tha't I1011. gentlemen might be made aware of the exact nature and extent of the duties. The CHAHfiEI. Loa or THE EXCHFQUER replied, that, not being himself a member of the committee, it was impossible for him' to explain the grounds ou which they had formed their decision, but it certainly was the wish of his Majesty's servants to attend as much as possible to every recommendation, of that committee, and in this particular instance ( heir recommendation he did believe had already ;- 4' adopted. Mr. HUME defended the recommendation of tbe committee with respect to the salary of the President of the Board of Control, and referred to the extensive patronage enjoyed by the holder of tbe office," as rendering the situation the more valuable. Mr. COURTENAY strongly objected to the reduc- tion. Mr. C. FEUGUSSON expressed his doubts of the expediency of a reduction of salary in the case of an office the labour and responsibility of whicli were so great. As to the other question, he thought that if general officers should be allowed to retain their military emoluments when in' the enjoyment of salaries for civil offices, it would' BTI partial and unjust, so long as subalterns continued to Be deprived of half- pay on obtaining civil offices. Mr. J"! WOOD said, the principle of thS committee was, that it would be poor cconomy not to fix the amount of salaries at such a rate as would secure the best talent to the public service. He contended that the scale of compensation recommended by the committee was sufficient for the attainment of that object, although gentlemen who had been deprived of tlie sweets of office might think differently. He observed, that in many cases persons had been put into secretaryships and other offices connected with the Board of Control, without aify experience or acquaintance with the affairs of India sufficient to qualify them for the discharge of duties which the lion, member for Kirkcudbright described as being important, and attended with great responsibility. Such being the case, if those duties had been ilis- Jhargcd efficiently in every instance, it must have been by miracle. He hoped government would ad- here ( 0 ils determination, and go on reducing olher salaries in tbe same proportion as bad been recom- mended by fhe committee in reference to the offices upon which they had reported. Mr, GOULEURN objected in the strongest terms to its being understood lhat patronage ( as the lion, member for M ddlesex appeared to suppose) was to be considered as forming part of the emolument of office. Mr. C. W. W. WYNN concurred willi Ihe right lion, member for ihe University of Cambridge, in thinking that nothing could be so detrimental to the public service as the principle of considering patron- age in the light of part of tbe emolument of office. When lie held the office of President of the Board of Control, lie looked upon the proper distribution of its patronage as a public duty, and acted upon that principle. A salary of £ 3,500 placed the office lower ill the scale of remuneration than other situations of a like nature; consequently the place would be con- sidered as a stepping stone to something better. But he looked upon frequent changes ill the Board of Control as being hy no means desirable. Tbe duties of Ihe officc were arduous and important, and there should be as lilllc motive for alteration as possible. Sir H. HARSINGE said, when gentlemen spoke of the " sweets of office," they could not be aware of how little was gained, or, more properly speaking, how much was generally lost, by an official life. For his own part, after some years of official service, he had retired from office a poorer man than he entered it. His pay returned but scanty interest for the purchase- money of his commission In conclusion, the right hon. gent, bore testimony to the public spirit aftd public virtue of the right hon. member for Montgomeryshire, who, when in office, had disposed of his patronage in a way the best calculated to con- fer a public benefit, by giving writerships annually, in order to stimulae the youth cducatcd at West- minster, and in one of the colleges, to useful exertion. POOR LAWS. Major WEYLAND, in moving for Ihe appoinfment of a committee to explain and amend the several acts relative to the hiring and wages of labourers, observed that he had in tbe course of last session introduced a bill similar to the present, and it would be therefore unnecessary for him 011 tbe present occasion to occupy much of the attention of the house. That tbe atten- tion of Ihe legislature was demanded to this important subject was proved by Ihe starving condition of the labouring poor in Ireland, and by the increase of crime amongst the same classes in this country, caused in many instances solely by a sense of unrequited toil, and a want of that due share in tbe increased pro- sperity of the country to which they felt their own good conduct entitled them. One of the causes of ( his evil appeared to him lo he that part of the law of settlement which operated to prevent the free interchange of labour and employment. With a view to its removal, one of tbe objects of his bill would be to abolish the right of settlement as gained by hiring and service for one year. He looked forward to the time when the law of settlement might be abolished altogether, and the pauper relieved 011 the spot where he was found destitute. Tbe hon. member moved for leave to bring in a bill to regulate and amend the law of settlement by hiring and service. Mr. ADEANE seconded the motion. He thought the bill would be productive of good, as a palliative of the enormous evil created by the principle of the poor laws. But for a removal of that evil he thought they could only look to his Majesty's government, and he hoped the house would hear that it was the intention of the government to bring forward a mea- sure upon tbe subject. Mr. SLANEY contended that the evil had been caused by diverting the poor laws from their intended course. The administration of those laws had debased the peasantry of sixteen of ( lie southern English counties, until they had been reduced to such a stale as to cause no surprise at the recent condition in which those counties had been placed, The abuse Which had created all the evil was that of paying wages out of the pool- rale, and thereby breaking down and destroying tbe independence of the la- bourer. If the slate of the peasantry in the south were compared with that of the same class in the northern counties, it would be found that the latter were in a comparative slate of independence and Comfort, and that because no such abuses in the administration of the poor laws had there been adopted. If the landed proprietors of this country wished to maintain tbeir influence and tbejr station, it must be by elevating the peasantry to the character tlity had formerly possessed. Mr. HUNT was sure the bill proceeded from the very best motives, but felt confident that it would injure rather than benefit the poor. He thought the poor laws the very best system of laws that ever was devised, and that Ihey. could not be altered without being injured. The evil arose solely from their mis- appl cation. . Mr. BEMETT felt the difficulty of making any alteration in the poor laws, having seen so many eminent men in the house fail in the attempt. He Concurred in the opinion that the evil lay in the administration of the laws.. j Mr. COURTENAY asked whether it was the intention of the government to bring forward, during the pre- sent session, any, measures for amending tbe poor laws, or for bettering the general condition of the labouring poor. The CHANCELLOR of ihe EXCHEQUER, said that the consideration of the question by the government had hot proceeded so far as to warrant him in ex- pecting that liny measure would be proposed during the present session. With regard to this bill, he had no desire to throw any obstacle in its way,- but he feared it was calculated to aggravate the evil of liti- gation, though it would unquestionably be ail i. n- p? ove( hent,, inasmuch as it would facilitate the circulation of labour. He agreed in the main with f| ie principle put forward by tbe hon. member for Shrewsbury, but the d. fficulty was in discovering the means of applying that principle without inflicting new pressure upon the labouring classes, which could not be thought of under their present circumstances. Mr. SAOLMI contended that to allow a poor 113: 111 relief 011 account of children was one of the . first and most merciful principles of tlie poor laws, and a prin- ciple which no humane mail or true lover of his country could fail lo respect. He could state from his own knowledge lhat in the northern counties, where the poor laws were said to be better adminis- tered, the number of marriages among tbe poor was' greater than in tbe south, where so much impro- vidence was said to have been caused by the mal- administration of the law. fie trusted that the greatest care would be observed in touching an institution which had made us an example that other nations had in vain attempted to follow, in respect to a merciful and charitable provision for their poor. Mr. STRICKLAND said, that as a magislrate, with much experience of tbe administration of tbe poor laws in the north, he was strongly impressed with the difficulty of interfering with those laws, and was happy to hear lhat his Majesty's government had no intention of bringing forward any sweeping measure upon the subject. He could state^ o the house that whatever might have been the effect of the mal- administration of the law in the southern counties, that system was fast creeping into praclice in the north. He believed lhat the main cause of the evil in both cases was to be found in the law of settlement, and paiticularly in lhat part of it which gave the " setllement'by a year's service. The greatest mischief was now being produced in the north by the attempts of the farmers to prevent men earning this settlement by not hiring them until a month after Martinmas, during which time they were leading idle and dis- solute lives. He therefore thought the bill would effect a most desirable change. Mr PAGET contended that the condition of the labouring Classes must be improved, or it was im- possible to expert that tlie happiness or prosperity of any other portion of the community could be maintained. Mr. JAMES sSid that Ihe evil of the poor laws was to be found in Mr. Sturges Bourne's act, transferring the power of granting relief from magistrates to select vestries. After a few words from Major Wt. YT. AND, leave was given to bring in tbe bill. Mr. SLASEi' obtained leave to bring ilia bill to regulate tile letting of small tenements. UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS. A deshltory discussion took place in consequence of a petition presented. hy Mr. Hunt from " the National Union Association," complaining of the Six Acts, of the prosecutions commenced under them, and praying for their repeal. Mr, Gordon fead extracts from some unstamped publications, in which it was desired in gross lertns, to have an end put to tile authority of King, Lords, and Priests, and expressed his astonish ment that sUCh publications were not prosecuted for sedition and blasphemy. Mf. Hume said that he, on the other hand, must express bis astonishment at these complaints, and maintained that most good would be done by leaving such wild publications to themselves, and relying 011 the good sense Of tile public and the force of free discussion. He added, that what the parties wanted was prosecution, and the consequent notoriety ; and that. Carlile, previously to prosecution' had again become necessitous; that he had been furious at the idea of llie prosecution being stopped and that ( besides other profits) 1111 annuity of £ 51) had very recently actually been setfled 011 Carlile and his wife. Mr. Hume condemned Ihe Six Acts, comparing them to the ordinances of Charles X ; declared it was useless to attempt to stifle free discussion, and stated that there were now regularly published 32 unstamped and, so far, unlicensed publications, similar to those from which extracts had been read. All were pub- lished in defiance of tbe law. Mr. Trevor contended lhat blasphemous and licentious publications had been most properly prosecuted; licentiousness was not liberty. Sir F. Burdett wondered why thosfe who complained so much of the Six Acts did not move their repeal. As to the publications from which extracts had just been read, antl of which he now for the first time heard, he viewed them as the sinister efforts of the enemy; no sensible man could think of promoting reform by such means. After remarks from Mr. O'Connell and Mr. C. W. W. Wynn, the Attorney- General intimated that, as one of the pro- secutions was about to come on in a few days, he could not speak so freely 011 this subject as lie oilier wise might, but declared that 110 proceeding had been adopted where tbe publications bad not directly incited to crimc, or attacked the institutions of the country and the security of property. Sir R. Peel was glad to see it thus exemplified that the govern- ment. thought there ought to be repressive laws for such publications, and was surprised that he who was so desirous for free discussion and the spread of con- stitutional knowledge should he unable to make 110 distinction between acts of parliament proceeding from the estates of tbe realm, and the arbitrary ordinances of a King and his ministers. Mr. Hume explained that he bad meant their effects. The petition was then received. promise, that, with the blessing of God 011 our resolutions, no supineness or negligence on our part, 110 want of moderation, or zeal, or disinterestedness, shall obstruct the success of our pastoral cares and labours. ( " But we humbly represent to your Majesty, that the exertions of the ministers of the church, how- ever assiduous or able, must fail in too many instances of their full effect, while the truths of divine revelation are publicly held up to derision by professed teachers of impiety, and writings, replete with sedition and blasphemy, are extensively circu- lated, iu open defiance of the law. We do not object to the fullest discussion of religious subjects; or ihe freest animadversion oil the church, or its ministers, where either may seem in fault. Even when the intention is hostile, the result may be the elucidation of truth, or tbe removal of blemishes or defects. But, sire, no eicuse can be offered for a course of proceeding, which poisons the morals of the young, and emboldens the ignorant to scoff at their Creator, and reject the instruction which would render them happy iu themselves and estimable and useful in society. " At tbe same time we beg leave lo assure your Majesty, lhat, in every disadvantage we may have to encounter, we shall tint! an additional incitement to tbe diligent use of tbe means which the mercy of God has placed in our hands, for the benefit of our fellow- creatures. To tbe mischievous delusions of infidelity and immorality on the one hand, and enthusiasm and superstition on the other, wc shall persevere in opposing the doctrines and precepts of the Gospel. And while, iu limrible reliance 011 aid from above, we inculcate the necessity of personal holiness, and cheerful obedience to the laws, we shall never cease to pray, that your Majesty may long continue to reign, beloved at home and re- spected abrosd, in peace, prosperity, and honour." THE KING'S ANSWER. , t " My Lords, and the rest of the Clergy,— 1 thank yon for your loyal and dutiful address. " Deeply sensible of the necessity of ensuring fo my subjects the blessings of a pure religion, my constant care will be directed to the support of the established church iu all its just rights aud privU leges. " J rely with confidence 011 the moderation, zeal, and disinterestedness of its ministers in the perform- ance of the important duties assigned to them; and 1 receive with Ihe highest satisfaction your assur- ances that, not objecting to the utmost freedom in the discussion of religious subjects which can be fairly required for the elucidation of truth, you will persevere ill " opposing . the doctrines and precepts of the Gospel fo tlie delusions • of Ifilmorality and infi- delity 011 the oae hand, and to enthusiasm and superstition on the other. " A due enforcement of the powers of the law shall not be wanting 011 my part, whenever it may be required for the protection of tbe true interests of religion; and fo your professional exertions, irected by a just sense of duly, and by the utieek spirit of Christian charity,' I trust, under the blessings of Divine Providence, for tho defeat of all attempts which may be made to pervert the feelings of a moral and religious people, or to shake tlieir belief in those holy truths 011 which their present and their future happiness equally depend." Jttisceuaiieoitg Entclligcnrc. ] CULTIVATION OF FLAX.— A respectable conlem- porary, in an interesting article upon this subject, The Excise- office has issued an order, desiring says,—" The perfection to which Flax Husbaudry irious officers tu take notice, "- that cider, being a has been carried on for a long series of years in FRANCE. A desire to propitiate popular feeling appears lo have influenced the alteration in the time of the meeting of the French Chambers. The day first fixed as the anniversary of the King's accession to the throne— but as the revolution which led fo that event had been effected ou the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July, some burst of popular feeling was expected, aud in order to regulate that feeling, Ibe meeting of the Chambers and various pageants are to take place irior to and during the " glorious days;" so that the King will be placed at the head of the people, and, at least, will seem to sympathize with their salurn- alian performances. Tlie King's Speech, which will be delivered on the 23d, will be a most interesting document, as it must give some clue to the line of policy to be pursued— some index to the great pro- blem whether concession or resistance to the Move- ment party is to decide the fate of France. It is impossible to regard the state of the French Monarch without apprehension. The Sovereign has Been rendered unpopular by the Movement party by means of the journals and other factious publications. He is charged with ingratitude for not surrounding himself with republica'ii institutions according to the formula of old Lafayeffe; or in other words, for not destroying the Monarchy. Riots are frequent, not Only in the capital but in the provinces— the tree of liberty has been planted in numerous places— the Military are insubordinate even when Called npon ( as at Tarascon) to prevent murder and violence- risings in the provinces in favour of the exiled family fe of frequent occurrence— and some of the zealots of revolution are endeaiouring to provoke foreign war. This is a fearful combination, from the evil effects of which we very much fear that neither integrity of purpose nor firmness of resolve will extricate OUT neighbours. BELGIUM. Prince Leopold has accepted the Belgian crown ! The following is bis answer to the deputies :— " Gentlemen,— I entertain a deep sense of the wish of which the Belgic Con'gress has made you the interpreters. - " Thi3 mark of confidence is to me the more flattering, that it was not sought for on my part. " Human destinies do not present a more noble and more- useful task than tbat of being called to maintain the independence and consolidate the liberties of a nation. A mission of such high im- portance' can alone determine me to abandon an independent position, and to separate myself from a country to which 1 have been attached by ties and recollections the most sacred, and which has given me so many proofs of its benevolence and sympathy. " I accept, then, gentlemen, the offer which you make me, ii being understood lhat it will belong to the Congress of the national representatives to adopt the measures which can alone constitute the new state, and thus secure for it the recognition of the European powers. It is thus that the Congress will give me the power of cfleyoting myself entirely lo Belgium, and of consecrating to ils well- being and prosperity Ihe relations which I have formed in countries whose friendship is essential to it, and to secure it, us much as depends upon my co- opera- tion, au independent and happy existence. " June 26, 1831." It still remains to be seen how far the Belgian Congress will be inclined to agree to any terms which will secure " the recognition of tbe Eu- ropean powers." various manufactured article, is liable, being sold by auction, to the auction duty, and must be charged with that accordingly." , , . EXPEDITIOUS CAPTURE.— Three fellows, of ycry gentlemanlike appearance, 011 Saturday robbed the till of the landlord of the Castle Inn, Kingston, of nearly £ 400. The robbery was detected in len minutes after. The thieves, who drove a light cart with a fine, spirited horse, were pursued by a I butcher of Kingston, who is also a constable; and I after a hard run, tbey were caught, opposite the Dorset Arms 011 the Clapham Road. Their horse was so completely knocked up, that a gentleman's groom, who stopped the cart, actually knocked it down with a blow of his fist. Tbe whole of the properly was recovered, savifig the box, which they had thrown away. So great has been the influx of shipping, trade, and commerce in the port of London,. that there are above six hundred vessels this year from foreign ports more than there were by this period last year. Two hundred and ten landing officers having lately been employed for days together at one of the docks at Liverpool, the same increase and activity of com- merce is also experienced. Within a week past seventy could not land their cargoes for want of officers from the Custom- house. THE LADIES OF GERMANY.— I have often heard it said, lhat the ladies of Germany are rigid observers of the sentimental in philosophy, which some of their best modern writers have done much to foster and defend. That they are highly sensitive,— more apt to feel keenly than to philosophize in the affairs and business of life,— may be said, 1 think, without injus- tice, and without insinuating more than the words imply. But the charming ingenuousness of their Character,— the sincerity with which they feel, and the sympathy With which they feel, and the sympathy with which they regard tbe feelings of others, arc- bright and undisputed points in their character. The art of dissimulation is with them 110 essential part of education.— They do not, as far as my own observation extends, either affect talents and accomplishments which they do not possess, nor obtrude upon your attention those which they do. There is ail ease and an elegance of manner,— a propriety of demeanour, a. grace of exptession, among the higher ranks in Germany, which every where command respect, and conciliate friendship.— Dr. Beattie's German Courts. NEW RHODODENDRON.— Highclere, the seat of the Earl of Carnarvon, boasts having raised a more magnificent variety of this genus than has yet been seen; its creation deserves to be particularly described and generally known, as holding out to us a prospect of the most gratifying kind in regard to the future gayness of our gardens. " Rhodo- dendron arboreum" is, as is well known, an Indian plant, bearing blossoms of an intense carmine, and having a stature equal to that of a small tree, but not hardy enough fo live in the open air of this country, and also less beautiful than might be anticipated from Ihe rich colour of its flowers, 111 consequence of the small size of ils bunches. Some years ago it occurred to Lord Carnarvon, that if a hybrid variety could Be obtained between this and some one of the hardy American species, the result would be a more robust constitution on the one baud, and a great brilliancy of colouring 011 the olher; and also that if the pollen of Rhododendron arboreum could be employed, the stature of fhe hybrid would also be Increased. An opportunity of ascertaining the justness of tliese expectations having occurred, the experiment was tried, and tbe result has proved how completely Lord Carnarvon's anticipations have been realized. To tbe hardiness of R. catawbiense is added the arborescent habit and rich colours of R. arboreum, while tbe con- tracted clusters of the latter are exchanged for the spreading bunches of the former.— Botanical Register for June. LORD ERSKINE.— Lord Erskine was one of the many men overrated, as others were underrated, in their day. He was a sort of shining ephemeron. His faculties never reached the views or the elo- quence of political deliberation. Even his speeches at the bar, preconised as they have been, will not save him from oblivion. His rhetoric, as preserved in them, is so superficial, that his power niust have consisted in the contagious fervour of delivery and temperament, with which he applied himself to juries, whose minds were of the same stature with his own. — Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library, Vol. V. A dreadful fire broke out at Tiverton, on Thursday se'nnight, in the house of a Mrs. Langsford, owing to the carelessness of her brother; the flames soon spread to the adjoining houses which were all thatched, and although every exertion was used, twenty- one dwell- ings were consumed— driving out into the wide world 33 or 34 families. Most of the houses were insured, but many of them being inhabited by the lower classes, their goods are not. A public meeting was held on Wednesday last, for the purpose of entering into subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers. At a parish in Devonshire last week a woman brought her son to be christened, and on the Minister enquiring what was to be the name of the child, she replied Acts ; the minister doubting the accuracy of so novel a name, and enquiring why she had chosen one so singular, she said, that her husband and self were religious folks, that having christened tlieir four other boys by the names of the Evangelists, it was their intention to pay the same compliment to the Apostles, and they had therefore commenced with the Acts. CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE — O11 Monday last the stupendous work of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, across the Avon, from Clifton heights to Leawood, was commenced under the superintendence of the Trustees and Mr. Brunell, jun. their engineer, by whom the first stone was raised, in making the ap- proaches, and handed to Lady Elton, on which Sir Abraham Elton made an appropriate speech. The beauty of the scenery, heightened by the beauties of Clifton, the attendance of the band of the 3d Dragoon Guards, and the re- echoing of the cannon amongst the rocks, together with the colours flying on both sides of the river, and the steam- packets passing below, gave an effect to the whole, whicli no one can picture who is not acquainted with that delightful spot. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint General William Loftus Governor of the Tower of London, and Major Gen. William Nieholay Governor and Com- mam'e- in- Chief of St. Christopher, Nevis, and the Virgin Islands. THE CONVOCATION. Address to Ihe King and Ansicer to the same. NEWEST LONDON FASHIONS FOR JULY, 1831. From the " World of Fashion," a monthly Magazine. " To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. " Most Gracious Sovereign,— We, your Majesty's dutiful subjects, Ihe archbishop, bishops, aud clergy of the province of Canterbury, in convocation as- sembled, most humbly entreat your Majesty to ac- cept our assurances of sincere affection ai. d loyalty. " It has been the wisdom of our sovereigns, aud of those more particularly of your . Majesty's illustri- ous bouse, to secure lo their subjects the inestim- able blessings of sound doctrine, and the regular ministrations of religion, by affording their special protection' and countenance to the established church.— 111 this faithful aiteution to tbe charge committed to Christian Kings by Divine Providence, your Majesty has adopted the principles of your ancestors, and acted on their example,— a consider- ation which, in this season of danger and difficulty, tends much to our encouragement and comfort. Yet, site, we must not conceal that we are not alto- gether free from anxiety. Since last we had the honour of addressing your Majesty, tbe tranquillity of the country has been partially disturbed by a spirit of violence, which prevailed for a time over the moral restraints essential to the w ell- being of society, and which, though now providentially quieted, may again be called into action. Among the means of averting such a calamity, your Ma- jesty will unquestionably look to tbe professional exertions of the clergy. Wc trust, sire, taken as a body, with reasonable allowance for human in- firmity, we cannot be justly accused of inattention to our sacred duties; and" we humbly venture to RULE OF COURT. For the information of our respei table professional friends we have inserted the following Rule of Court enacted in last Trinity Term. " And it is further ordered that no declaration de bene esse shall be delivered until the expiration of six days from the service of the process, in the case of process which is not bailable, or until tbe expiration of six days from tbe time of the arrest in case of bail- able process, and such six days shall be reckoned exclusive of the day of such service or arrest." It is moreover ordered by the Court that in future all declarations be drawn lip in the following form :— " Whereas the defendant on at London ( or in Ihe county of ) was indebted to the plaintiff in £ for the price and value of goods then and there sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant at his request. And In £ for the price and value of work then and there done, and materials for Ihe same provided by the plaintiff to the defendant, at his request. And in £ for money then and there lent by the plaintiff'to the defendant at his request. And in £ for money then and there received by the defendant for tbe use of Ihe plaintiff. And in £ for money found to be due from the defendant to the plaintiff in an account then and there stated between them." The practice with sharps lias hitherto been lo file the declaration instantly upon delivery of tbe writ, . and thus frequently put the defendant wantonly and utinecessarily to an expense of some £ 12 or £ 15, as the declaration was often spnn out to 20 or 30 folios. By the amended practice a period of six days is a Hord- ed the defendant to settle, before he can be burdened with the expense of filing the declaration, and even should he omit that opportunity, fhe whole expense of writ and declaration will not exceed £ 5. This is a reform in which every respectable practitioner will rejoice. HATS AND BONNETS.— First in our catalogue is the capote a bee de Corbin, which bears the seal of Herbaut, from whom Mrs. BELL has just received it. The form is perfectly new, the brim is cut in such a manner as to present a resemblance to the upper part of the beak of a bird, and the curtain behind, shaped and arranged with ribbon wire, forms the other part of the beak, the brides pass through the opening close to the ears. These capotes are trimmed in general with a knot called a comet, which it very much resembles; it is composed of two large bows, and some long ends of ribbon, which imitate a comet's tail. The form called demi- Anglaise is still much in favour. Hats, though not generally adopted, are fashionable, particularly for morning visits. Watered gros de Naples is fashionable, both for neglige and lialf- dress. Crape, rice straw, and tlssu du paille, are confined to the latter. Lilac bordering on grey is one of the most fashionable colours for undress bonnets, which are now trimmed in a style of less formality. Some are adorned with coques, or leaves of ribbon, which form a half wreath behind the top of the crown, terminating on one side of the front by a nceud, and descending on the other side upon the brim, where it finishes by a bow and ends. Several half- dress bonnets are trimmed with bouquets, formed by a rose, surrounded by violets, a poppy or jessamine, or a wreath of blue bells round a yellow dahlia. Bonnets that have the brims suffi- ciently wide to admit of it, continue to be trimmed inside tbe brim. Those for undress have coques and cockades of ribbon placed on one side, or in the middle. Coquilles of blond lace, or light wreaths of flowers of various kinds intermingled, adorn half- dress bonnets. Both are worn placcd rather backward. OUT- DOOR COSTUME. — Gros de Naples pelisses are very much in favour. The flower of marsh- mallows, green, and lilac are the fashionable colours for pelisses. A great number are made with pelerines in the shawl style. There are also several with Iwo round pelerines, falling one over Ihe other. Tbe front of the skirt is trimmed with knots and other fancy ornaments. Flanders, is a circumstance well entitled to the attention of the farmers of this country, more especially at a period when the invention is ever on tho rack to devise profitable schemes of em- ployment for the unemployed thousands in our agricultural districts, whose only dependence is the scanty pittance derived from the Poor's Rate Fund. The advantages arising from the culture of this manufactorial plant— whether regarded in it* various processes as a means of support for the in- digent, or in a national view as furnishing article* of essential importance to our maritime and domestic wants— are points of such deep and prominent interest, that we are astonished the subject is so in- ijifferenlly regarded both by the legislature and local interests. Of the beneficial appropriation of lands to Flax Husbandry in Flanders it may be In- teresting, and we hope useful, to detail some curious particulars. Previous to the year 1774; fallow* were enforced, and the culture of tiax and rape was prohibited by the leases granted to the farmers, a* destructive to the fertility of the soil. A Mr. Motidez was the first to prove the absurdity of such doctrine, aud who introduced the cultivation of plants pfoducing oil, lite crops of which were more valuable than those of, grain, whilst by raising a productive article, instead uf a naked fallow, the farmer was enabled to sell his grain,' in the course of a rotation, at a cheaper rate than otherwise he could afford it. Even 011 soils of a clayey nature flax was raised successfully, unless where the clay was mixed with red sand. It certainly require* great attention on the part of the farmer— particu- larly to the weeding of the crop— but all the other operations are now greatly facilitated by improve-, meiits introduced in the preparation of the flax for being manufactured, and it is thus rendered, per- haps, one of tbe most advantageous productions that the soil call furnish. In tbe neighbourhood of Lisle, flax husbandry is carried to the greatest perfection. Land that has carried a crop of wheat, or oats, after clover, is there preferred. The land must be thoroughly pulverised by repeated ploughings, liar- rowings, aud rollings, and manured with rape cake or night soil; it is considered by some to be a scouring crop, but it may be raised every five or six years without injury to the soil. Indeed, as a farmer of that country justly remarks, ' the crops of lint and rape may exhaust the soil when they aro too frequently repealed, but there is no reason to apprehend such a result where attention is paid to the collection of manure, and to judicious rotations: the experience of many ages proves that tbe pro- hibition of these rich productions is not necessary to preserve the fertility of the soil.' Another in- telligent farmer observes, ' Thai in many respects the culture of Flax is advantageous; that it sells at a high price; that the soil iu which it is grown is completely cleaned of weeds in the course of tbe culture, and that the sacceeding crop, whether wheat or rye, is better than after fallow.'— In tha Netherlands every farmer can afford to keep mora servants than in other countries, whose assistance in critical periods of cultivation is so essential from bis being enabled, at other times, to employ his servants in the various operations connected with Flax Husbandry, and its manufacture afterwards. In tbe neighbourhood of Lisle Ihe result is in tho highest degree important. I11 two small district* there were a few years since 40,000 wheels em- ployed in spinning coarse, and 10,000 in spinning fine threads; there are above 7000 weavers of cloth, as many of cambric, 300 for table linen, and 750 for mattresses, making iu all 15,000 weavers besides the spinners!" CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.— The actual expansive force of solids in the process of heating has not been made the subject of anything like admeasure- ment; but a very curious upplication of Ihe force exerted in the converse operation of cooling was made a few years ago in Paris by M. Molard. It was discovered that the side walls of a large room filled with eugines at the conservatory of Arts, & c. were bulging outwards from the great internal pressure. To remedy this, strqng bars of iron were passed quite through the building, the extremity of each bar passing through the main outer wall. The ends of the bars were forced into screws and fitted with nuts, which being screwed up closely to tbe wall, might have served to prevent further mischief. Still the walls had to be brought to their original position lo complete the cure. This was accom- plished by heating each bar, a row of lamps being placed beneath it for the purpose; the beat of the lamps having produced a considerable elongation of the bars, during this expanded state of the metal thle nuts were screwed up close to tbe wall again, and upon the removal of the lamps the contraction of the bars actually brought together the walls of the building. The operation was repeated upon alternate bars till the walls had been restored to their true vertical position. In the Zoological Gardens is a pheasant, one of whose feathers measures five feet eleven iuche* iu length. DUTY OF THE PHYSICIAN.— And here you will forgive me, perhaps, if I presume to state what appears to me to be the conduct proper to be ob- served by a physician in withholding, or making bis patieuts acquainted with, his opinion of the probable issue of a malady manifesting mortal symptoms. I own, I think it my first duty to protract his life by all practicable means, and to interpose myself between him and every thinp which may possibly aggravate his danger ; and, unless 1 shall have found him averse from doing what was necessary ill aid of my remedies, from a want of a proper sense of his perilous situation, I forbear to step out of the bounds ( if my province in order to offer any advice which is not necessary to promote his cure. At the same lime, 1 think It indispensible to let his friendB know Ihe dauger of his case the instant 1 discover it. An arrangement of bis worldly affairs, in which the comfort or hap- piness of those who are lo come after him are in- volved, may be necessary; and a suggestion of hi* danger, by which the accomplishment of this object is to be obtained, naturally induces a contemplation of his more important spiritual concerns, a careful review of his past life, and such sincere sorrow and contrition for what he has done amiss, as justifies our humble hope of his pardon and acceptance hereafter. If friends can do these good offices at a proper time, and under the suggestions of the physician, it is far better that they should undertake them than the medical adviser. They do so with- out destroying his hopes, for the patient will still believe, that he has an appeal to his physician beyond their fears; whereas, if the physician lay open bis dangers to him, however delicately he may do this, he runs a risk of appearing to pronounce a sentence of condemnation to death, aguinst which there is no appeal— no hope; and, on thut account, what is most awful fo think of, perhaps, the siclc man's repentance may be less available. But friends may be absent, and nobody near the patient in bis extremity of sufficient influence or pretensions to inform him of his dangerous condition ; and, surely, it is lamentable to think, that apy human being should leave the world unprepared to meet his Creator and Judge, " with all his crimes broad blown :" Rather than so, I have departed from my strict professional duty, and have done lhat which 1 would have done by myself, and have apprised niy patient of Ihe great danger he was about lo uudergo.— Sir Henry Halford's Essays, BANSMJI'TS, JUNK 28 —' Thomas Metcalfe Moses, nf Sioekton- iipuu - Tees, Durham. — Daniel Beaumont Payne, Henry Hope, and George llolbert Hope, of Wells, Somersetshire, bankers.— John Palmer, of Birmingham, scrivener.— Harriet Tapper, of Titoh- lield, innkeeper.— John Low Overton, of Leiiiuington Priors, Warwickshire, builder.— William Puttixou, of Weilierby, York, spirit- merchant — Joseph Phillips, of Brook. street, Holhorn, tobacconist.— John Luke,- of Mark- lane, wine merchant.— William Willtliet and George Willslier, of Oxford street, bakers.— Jeieuiiah Brown, of Sheeruess, Kent, barge- owner.-— Alio Say- well, of Qiieeaborough, Kent, linen- draper.— Edwin d William Bishop, of George. street, Peutotivilte, sur- veyor.,— Win. ftloore and John M'Creighl, of Liver- pool, corn- merchants.— William Tusker, of Oldham, Lancashire, innkeeper.— Tinnitus West and Atiroit Brain, jun. of Coiiiiatu, Gloucester, coal- iiiiucrs.— William Clark, of llford, Essex, victualler.
