That the People employed be required to wash their Hands and Faces at least twice every Day ; that they change their Linen frequently, and that they also Whitewash their Houses, and keep them clean and well ventilated. Although the Recommendations above named are more particularly addressed to the Occupiers of large Establishments, where considerable Numbers of Work- people are congregated together, it is particulnrly de- sirable that the Owners and Occupiers of Cottage Property as well as the Occup: ers of all other Houses, should adopt them as far as practicable, in their re- spective Tenements or Places of Abode. As a general Rule, Cleanliness in Person, and in every Part of the House or Manufactory, is of the utmost Consequence.

" MY DEAR Lorn GREY, " Befoie I quit tbe coUitlry, I ain dcsiroiis to stole, in writing, the intentions and views which I had tbe pleasure of Communicating to you verbally this morn- ing on the subject of my British annuity, " As Sovereign of Belgium, it is not my intention lo draw from this country any portion of the ircome which was settled upon me by act of parliament at the period of my marriage. Yo'ur lordship is, however, well aware, that up to the very moment of my leaving England, I have muintained my establishments here upon their accustomed footing, and that, consequently there remain to be fulfilled and discharged pecuniary engagements and outstanding debts, to an amount which it- is quite impossible for me to s afe at the pre- sent time with precision. As soon, therefore, as I shall have accomplished the payment of these demands it is jny intention to make over, info the bands of trustees, whom 1 will without loss of time appoint, the whole of tbe annuity which I receive from this country, in trust for the following purposes :— • • ' " I shall require my trustees to maintain, in a state of complete habitation and of repair, the house, gar- dens, and park, at Claremont; and further to pay all the salaries, pensions, and allowances, which I shall deem a proper reward to those persons who have claims upon me, for their faithful services during my residence in this country, I shall, in addition, requite them to continue all those charities and annual donations to charitable institutions which have been allowed or subscribed to, either by the Princess Charlotte or by myself, up to the present, period. " All these objects having been fulfilled, it is my • ish and desire that the remainder shall be repaid into the British Exchequer. " I remain, my dear Lord Grey, "' Most faithfully yours, ( Signed) " LEOPOLD." The reading of this letfer was followed by repeated cheers from all sides of the House, and the conduct of the Prince was warmly eulogised.—> 11 the mili- tary appointments held by the Prince in the British army be has resigned, ami placed at the disposal of Lord Hill.

Georqe Gilchrist, and James Brown, for robbing the Prince Regent coach, from Glasgow to Edinburgh, in March, of £ 5712. 6s. belonging to the Commercial Banking- Company, took place on Wednesday, in the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh. On the 24tb of March a parcel inclosed in a fin box, containing Ihe notes and gold, was forwarded from the office of the Commercial Banking Company in Glasgow, and put into the front boot of the coach, to be conveyed to Edinburgh. For some time previous Geo. Gilchrist had planned the robbery of the banking parcel, and he was to be assisted by William, his brother, and Brown. Some days before the robbery took place he engaged the whole inside of the coach, and engaged the services of two or three men, who were lo assist him ih his plan. On the 21th of March William Gil- christ and Brown started from Glasgow on the out- side of the coach, and about two or three miles from that place they met George Gilchrist and a man named Simpson whom Gilchrist had hired to assist him. George was dressed in female's apparel, and Simpson carried a small basket which contained centre- bits and other instruments of that description. Simpson, who was examined as a witness, saitl when they got into the coach they put up the windows, when Gilchrist took off the straw boniset and shawl, and took out tbe tools; he then ripped up the cloth of the coach, and bored five boles horizon tally with the brace and bit; the place between the boles was cut with the chisel; they then attempted to cut the tin box with the chisel, but finding tliev could not do so, they pressed tbe lid up with a chisel, and in doing this raised up the lock. They took out two parcels of notes and a packet, which, from its weight he supposed to be gold. Left some parcels in the box, which he believes were bills, and put someof them under the cushion. Having effected the robbery, they pressed the lid of llie box down, and it had the same appearance as if locked ; put part of the notes and gold about his person, and Gilchrist put tbe rest about him, and again put oil the bonnet and sliAwl. All this occupied about an hour. When at Airdrie heard some oue say " John, get on, remember the opposition." William Gilchrist said it was Brown that said so, and that he would drive on if lie saw any danger. Gilchrist said to witness that no one should get into the coach, anil he would keep one side, and directed witness to keep the other; fliat they would get out in about a mile and a half; antl that witness should look out of the window and Brown would see him ; this he believed was a signal that till was right; be thinks that Brown observetl him look out. Was desired by Gil- christ to call out stop at the first entry on the left hand. The coach stopped at tbe place., and Brown came down and opened the door, and said to the coachman, " John, I've got balf- a- crou- n for you." When they came out witness carried the basket, and the coach imme- diately drove off. He and Gilchrist proceeded down tbe avenue about a mile, and went into a planting. Saw a man coming down the avenue, when he tobl Gilchrist, who said be was a friend. The woman's clothes were put into a basket, and Gilchrist put on his own clothes. All tbe money was put into a silk handkerchief, the man saw it lying, when he said that was a good lift. Witnesses were called, who swore that they saw George Gilchrist oil the day of the robbery, at or near Bcllshill Toll, betwixt two and three o'clock, thus endeavouring to establish an alibi in bis favour. Their evidence, however, was much shaken by the cross- examination of tbe Solicitor- General. On tbe part of William Gilchrist, two witnesses gave evidence that the prisoner, William Gilchrist, came to Hillend at twelve o'clock on the day of the robbery, and remained there going about tbe doors until two o'clock, when tbe Regent Coach arrived. Tnat he remained there during the interval between twelve and two o'clock, and that they saw him going about the doors ufter the Regent Coach passed. lames Brown called several witnesses, and among them his parish minister, who all bore testimony in the strongest t'rms as to tbe excellent character he had always maintained. He attempted to account lor tbe hundred- sovereigns which had been found in his possession after the robbery, by calling various witnesses who proved that they had occasionally paiil him one or two sovereigns among other c . sli, in the course of their mercantile dealings. The Jury found George Gilchrist guilty, anil ac- quitted the others. Sentence of execution on the 3il of August was then passed on the prisoner George. The trial excited the utmosl interest. STEAM- BOAT DISASTERS.— On the 7th of jttne, the fjeneral Jackson, New York steamer, blew up, with tremendous violence, while lying off a landing- place about thirty five miles below the city. The boat was totally destroyed, two persons were killed, and sixteen severely hurt. On tiie 14th of May, a steam- boat called the Coosa sunk in the mouth of Ohio; when eight persons, five of them slaves, were drowned. Another steam boat was burnt lately, some miles below Pittsburgh ; l. u' in thut, no lives were lost. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE FROM IRF. HND.— The following ere Ihe numbers of cattle, sheep, pigs, & c. brought to Bristol from Ireland, during th? mouths of April, May, and June, as reported in the Bristol Presentment :— Figs, 27,760 ; sheep and lambs, 2,588; cattle, 1,495; horses, 60. Wool, MARKET.—' 1 he last year's clip of wool being nearly all disposed of, and the manufacturer's stock completely run out, a considerable rise in that article is expected before Christinas. The staplers here have commenced the price at . t* 12, but it is i expected to reach £ 20.— Kentish Chronicle. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. REFORM BII. L. The House then proceeded to form jjself into " Com- mittee ; and Lord John Rt'SSrLL commenced by moving that Downton should be introduced in Sche- dule A, for though it contained upwards of 3,000 inhabitants, it was a nomination borotigh, and Conse- quently came under the principle or ttie bill. The IS'oble Lord admitted,- that though it was thought expedient to disfranchise Uownton, it was a proper » ubjec, t for the exercise of discretion, even though the No' le Ne- hdreif ( Lord Ratlhor^' liad disinterestedly cojwtited to its ( iisfranchiseinent. — Mr. Cnofti n said Lord IU) du? U-', s offer was an offer to'give tip liothing, because , n preserved, 1 it would be fnadefvee.— A long discussion ensued, and oh a division there Appeared, Ay s 074 - Noes 244 - Majority'- for disfranchising Pownfon 30. — The borough of Dunwich was next ordered to stand part ofSchedule A. The borough of Lye was the next borough under consideration. Sir C. KFRKYSON said he had been returned three times for Eye without corruption or undue influence. By the late census, the borough would not come tinder the operation of the bill, as it contained 2,320 inhabitants. - Sir C. WEYHKRFLL contended that the census of 1821 was not made up with / Accuracy, and consequently ought not to be adopted. The Question was then carried affirmatively, and Eye stands among the disfranchised boroughs.— On the proposition that Fowey should be disfr mchised, some observations were made by Lor< I BHCDENELL and Mr. SKVKRN, OII the ground of an increase of the inhabitants since the census of 1; 21. Lord JOHN RUSSF. LI, saw no- reason why it should be excluded, and the question was agreed to-;— The next borottgh named for disfranchisement was Gatton, which was ussented to amid shouts of laughter.— The borough of Haslemere was afterwards added to the list, The Chairman then reported progress,' and obtained p/ r- nVissiori to sit again.—- The house adjourned at two o'clock in the morning. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The House, having resolved itself into a Committee on the Reform bill, the firs* questien put. was on thC borough of Hed- m. Mr, STRICKLAND complained that Yorkshire would, under the hill, be very in- adequately represented in comparison with other counties — Lord ALTUORP, in reply to some remarks from Sir C. VYetherell, observed, that if any Hon. Member sin uld be of opinion that either Mai ton, Calne, or Tavistock, ought to be put in Schedule A, the house might take that, point into consideration in some future stage of the bill. The motion was at length agreed to without a division— Heytesbury came next, Vfhich was also consigned to disfranchise- ment without a division, as 1 kewise Higham Ferrers — The question was then put upon the borough of Hiudon, which was in some degree defended by Mr. WEYLAND, one of its representatives, who was fol lowed by Sir Charles Wetherell and Alderman Waith man, between whom a warm alternation arose.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL deprecated the continuance of a Con versa'ion which had no reference to the ' immediate question before the Committee— Mr. NF. F. LD said that. the borough still continued in favour of reform The question was then agreed to without a division — Ilchester was the next in succession, which was quietly disposed of, and then came Ivist. Looe. Mr DAVIES GILBERT proposed that this borough am West. Looe and their two parishes, containing al together a population of 2,559, should be united to form one borough, and placed in - Schedule I>.— Mr. STANLEY thought this was asking too much.— M BARING complained of the transfer hy the bill of the representation from the south of England to the north, giving a manifest preference to the manufacturing over the agricultural interest. After some conversa- tion the question was carried without a division, as was also that respecting West Looe, and the lattef without any observation.— Lostwithiel came next, re- specting which it was contended by Mr. GOULBURN that the borough extending into two adjacent parishes, and containing a population of 3,157, it ought to have a repieffcntation— Lord JOHM RUSSELL said the rule laid down was that it would not be right to take in the whole of the adjacent parishes, when the borough itself did not Contain the requisite con- stituency. The question was then put. and carried without a division, which was also the case with Ludgershall.— The borough of Midhurst was then consigned to disfranchisement Mr. JOHN SMITH stating his entire approbation of; the measure ; anil t he j borough of Milborne Port, followed it in the same ' course, without any remark— On the question being put respecting Minehead, Mr. LUTTTRKLL contended that fhe borough extended into another parish, called Duuster, and that altogether a population was made up of 2,134. A conversation of some length ensued respecting the localities of this borough, after which the; question was carried without a division. Newport in Cornwall, and Newton in Lancashire, were also agreed to be disfranchised without opposi- tion. Newtown, in fhe Isle of Wight, came next, and Mr. HUDSON GURNEY spoke in its defence; a conversa- tion ensued, and an observation having been made by Mr. ATTWOOD, that after ihe bill should have passed the representatives of the people would, no doubt, discover that the Peers were useless, and next that the throne itself was vicious, Lord JOHN RUS- SELL strongly protested against the use of such language. A rather warm discussion followed, after which the question was agreed fo without a division — On the next question respecting the borough of Orford, Mr. CROKIR moved fhat fhe boroughs of Orford and Aldeburgh be united, the former contain- ing from 1,600 to 1,700, and fhe latter 1,300 in- habitants, and they being within three miles of each other. He contended fhat by fhe bill a change would be made in favour of the manufacturing dis- tricts of between 110 and 120 members. Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed Ihe proposition, for which he maintained that no ground had been laid. The question for disfranchisement was then carried withou a div sion.— Next came Petersfield, respecting which Colonel JOLLLFFE alleged that two parishes might be taken in, containing a considerable , population, and the borough be thus transferred fo Schedule B Lord JOHN RUSSELL, however, thought, no case had been made out, and ( he question was carried without a division — Wiih regard to the next borough, Plvmpton Earle, Lord VALLETORT attempted to make out a similar case; but Lord JOHN HUSSELL contended that it came clearly within the line of dis franehis nient, and that opinion was pronounced by the vote of the Committee.— This made the eighteenth borough disposed of in the course of the evening. It was then agreed to adjourn; and the house having resumed, the Committee was ordered to sit again on Monday. LONDON* Tuesday Morning, July 26, 1831 PRICES OF FUNDS AT THE CLOSE.

CHAM BER OF DEPUTIES— ROYAL SITTING. As early as eight o'clock in the morning the crowd assembled round the chamber, the doors of which were not. opened till noon. The two first rows of the reserved galleries were occupied by elegantly dressed ladies, the gentlemen were seated behind. The hall was fitted up in the same manner as for the royal sitting in 1830. On the right and left of the throne, which was erected in the place of the President's bureau, wire seated the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours. Below the throne, fo the right and left, were the seats of the ministers, and immediately below them the Marshals of France. The seals of the Peers were but. scantily occupied. We remarked MM. de Rroglie, de Cases, Pasquier, Roy, Portal, fhe Duke de Choiseul, Semohvlllc, Talaru, & c. & c. The left side, allotted to the Deputies, was entirely filled, Messrs Lafayette, Guizot, Dupin, Lafitte, Roycr- Collard, Mauguin, Ch. de Remasat, Thiers Viennet, fid a great many other Deputies took their usual seats. A. great number of strange faces were observed on all the benches. Among the new deputies we par- icularly remarked Messrs. Arajo, Farfrede, Merilhou, & c. & c. At one o'clock a salute of artillery announced the arrival of the King; the deputation went to meet m. . , I The Queen, accompanied by her children and > Madame Adelaide, was introduced into the gallery- reserved for her, near that of the diplomatic body. Immediately afterwards ihe King, dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, entered, preceded by the deputations of the two chambers, and followed by numerous staff. Cries of " Vive le Roil" rose in the hall. His Majesty having uncovered, took his place On fhe throne, having on his right hand the Duke of Orleans, in the uniform of a Colonel of Hussars; and the Duke of Nemours, in that of a Colonel of Lancers. The King, still uncovered, said to the peers and deputies, " Gentlemen, be seated." He then put on his hat, and delivered the following speech in a firm voice : — '' Messieurs Peers and Deputies,— I am happy to be among you in this place ; here France has received my oaths. Deeply impressed with the duties which they impose upon me, I shall always rest upon the national will, of which you are the constitutional organs ; and I expect from you that frank arid entire co- operation w- b'i. o'n must glVts tu my government tbe strength, with- out which it cannot answer the expectation of the nation. " I said, gentlemen, that the charter would be a truth ; what I have said has been accomplished. The charter is the constitutional monarchy, with all its con- ditions loyally maintained— with all its consequences frankly accepted. It is true that, by the uniform action of all the powers of the stafe, we should put an end to those prolonged agitations which feed the criminal hopes of those who dream of the return of the late dynasty, or of those who still dream of the chimera of a republic. Divided respecting the" object, they agree in the will to overturn, no matter at what price, the political order founded by the revolution of July. Their efforts will be disconcerted or punished. ( Loud apnlause, and cries of " Vive le Roi. ) e In calling me to the throne, France desired that the royal authority should be national. It did not desire that it should be feeble. A government without strength cannot suit a great nation. I have just taken a tour through France. The tion hitherto refused has been offered to us. The Portuguese men of war are iu our, power, and the tri- caloured Hag flies under the walls' of Lisbon. ( Bravo, bravo ! Vive le Roi !) " A sanguinary and inveterate struggle is prolonged in Polsftid. This struggle, causes lively emotion in tbe midst of Europe. I have exerted myself to hasten the termination of it. After having . offered mv mediation, 1 have invited that of the great powers. I have desired to stop the effusion of blood, to preserve, the sotith of Europe from the scourge which wai-!"' pr6pag^ fes, and, above all, to secure to Poland, whosef.. courage has revived the ancient affections of France, that nationality which has resisted time and its vicissitude^ ; y .-• " You will, doubtless, judge , that in, these difficult uegociations the true interests of France— the'interests of its prosperity j of its power, and of its honour, have been defended with perseverance and dignity. Europe is now convinced of the rectitude of our intentions, and of the sincerity of our wishes for the maintenance of peace ; it is also convinced of our strength, and it knows how we should support a fcar if we were driven to it by unjust aggressions. " It is by persisting in the system of. policy hitherto jM. rsued that we shall succeed in securing and in mak- ing our country enjoy the benefits of the revolution, which has secured its liberties; and to preserve it from new commotions, which would endanger, . at, die same time, its own existence, and the civilization of the world. We are on the eve, gentlemen, of great anniver- saries. I shall see you with satisfaction join me in their solemnities. May these serious and affecting commemorations awaken sentiments of union' and concord, which, a year ago, alone decided the triumph, the remembrance of which they celebrate.' 1 After the reading of this speech, the Keeper of the Seals read the oath. The-.' Minister of the Interior called over fhe list of member*, and each member, after his name was read, said, w I swear it." This operation being terminated, the- Keeper of the Seals, having again taken the King's orders, declared the Session of the Chamber for 1S3.1 definitively opened. He invited the Peers nnd Deputies to meet on Monday in the usual place of their sittings. The King was then conducted back in the usual form. His . Majesty was followed with repeated cries of 4< Vive le Roi!" which had burst forth several times during the reading of his speech, n; From Poland, wc learn, that one cf the Russian corps crossed the Vistula,, ou the 13th, and that the main body was expected to do the same on the 15th. Skizynecki has ord. red the people of Warsaw to prepare for a siege.? The accounts from Lithuania continue to be contradictor^. • f Hofh Houses of Parliament were occupied last night with miscellaneous business; the Committee on the Reform Bill in the House of Commons being deferred.— Lord Chandos and Mr. Robinson, in refer- ence to that part of fhe King of France's Speech which announces the demolition of the Belgian for- tresses, observed, that all this country had received from France as an indemnity was expended on those fortresses, and had thus, with the consent of the pre- sent Ministry, been thrown away. : ^^—: MARRIED.

We are happy to inform our readers, that a District Committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts has been established iu the county of Montgomery. A . Meeting took place at Welsh Pool, H short time ago, the Dean of St Asaph in the chair, which was attended by a con- siderable number of the Clergy of that neighbour- hood. The Bishop of St. As. tph was appointed Patron ; l. oul Clive, President; William Owen, Esq. David Piigh, Esq anil Panton Corbett, Esq. Vice- Presidents j and the Rev. M. Davies, of Pennant, Secretary.— We are informed that the number of Subscribers is already very considerable, and we an ticipate that it will still be increased when tile establishment of such a committee is more generally known, for we feel confident that the public only require to have their attention directed to such laudable objects to piomote their success by every means in iheir power. MONTGOMEUYS HIREASSIZES. The Commission of Assize for this County was opened at Welch Pool on the 19th iust. before Mr. Karon Bollaffifc— A numerous cavalcade accompanied the High Sheriff, R. M. Bonnor Maurice, Esq. to meet and escort his Lordship into Welch Pool, and about seventy gent'emen afterwards dined with the High Sheriff' at the Oak Inn, where every delicacy was produced ; and we shall do innst justice to the sumptuous repast by consenting ourselves with saying that the dinner was served up in Mrs. Whitehall's usual excellent style. The Assize Sermou was preached by the Rev. C. T. C. Liixmoore : and his Lordship having taken his seat on the bench on Wednesday morning, the following gentlemen were sworn of the Grand Jury:— David Pughj Esq. Foreman, so frightened he could not see what Rees had in hi hand ; the mare. sprung from the ground; David Owen had a pikel,. and was on the other side of the horse by the mare -, David Owfen stabbed the horse; the prisoner Evans was standing close by them ; they then went away together towards their houses; witness then went away without speaking to. them ; he was afraid; he went about four or five o'clock the same morning to the field to examine the mare; there was a hole on the part where lie saw Rees's arm go ; Richard Morgan, the farrier, saw the wotind; the liiare died between nine and ten o'clock on thfe Sunday night, the 12th.— On his cross- examination, witness said, he did not tell any one what he had seen until the mare difed; he was afraid of saying any thing about it; he had told his master the mare had been hurt, but did not tell hlih by what means ; be was afraid to do so; Mr. David Edwards stated, that he prosccuted a brother to the. prisoner Rees at the last Assizes; as soon as the mare died, his servant told him she had been stabbed, and the circumstances, but did not say so be- fore : his servant had told him before to go to' Edward Rees and say that he ( Rees) had done it, and he did so. — Witness said, " I asked Rees how the old boy ( the D— Ij cou'. d prompt him to kill the horses ?" he replied, " Was it I that did it?" I said, " the neighbours tell me von look, guilty of the crime." He . said, " If you think I did it; it is only a beginning." I then went away ;. Rees ran after me, and said; " If you had come tii me in < t friendly manner, I would have told you who did it." I asked him who did it: he said, " 1 know." I told him I thought he had done it: he denied it. Richard James remembered the time when David Edwards's mare died; had a conversation with the prisoner Rees about it on the Monday after the mare died ; told him that David Edwards's mare was dead : he said, " It is no matter." Witness said it was a pity to kill her. Rees said, '• It is no pity at all: we are only beginning to kill them for him yet; he had better not have transported my brother Evan, for there will be more killing. for him yet. Richard Morgan.— Is a farrier^ attended the mare of the prosecutor on the Thursday morning; she had been stabbed in the belly with a sharp instrument, which had entered the bowels; tbe injury was sufficient to caitse death. Several witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoners: some with a view to shake John Owen's testimony; others to prove an alibi; and some to character. The Jury found al! the. prisoners Guilty; but re- commended them to meicy.— Sentence deferred. STANLEY R. MATTHEWS. SPECIAL . HTY. John Davies, Esq. C. G. Humphreys, Esq. A. D. Jones, Esq.

The most active measures appear to have been resorted to in every part of the empire to prevent the entrance of the cholera. Riots are reported to have broken out. at St. Peters- burgh, owing to a notion entertained by the lower orders, that hospital physicians were tampering with the lives of their cholera patients. The Emperor, it is added, was in consequence compelled fo leave his seclusion at petei'hoff, and exhibited himseff publicly in the streets. Dr. Seymond, a German physician, was murdered by the populace, and his body drag- ged abrut the streets. The cholera still raged at St. Petersburgh to a frightful extent. The new King of Belgium made his public entry into Brussels on Thursday lasf, from the palace of L cken, and publicly took the oath tendered to him by a deputation of the Congress, in the presence and amidst the cheers of thousands of his subjects. He was. afterwards seated in due form on a throne erected in the Place Royale, from the steps of which he previously read an address fo the assembled multitude. After receiving the homage of the distinguished persons around him, his Majesty was escorted to his Royal Palace, when the ceiemony terminated. At the Wexford Assizes, the Grand Jury threw out the bills charging with the crime of murder certain parties implicated in the late affray at Newfwwnbarry. Bills were afterwards sent up by the crown against Captain Graham and a policeman named Gilfoyle for the minor offence of manslaughter. The bill was ig- nored against the former and found against the latter, who is to take his trial.

W II IT I- HALL, JULY 21— The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to pass under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, granting to the Kight. Hon. George Earl of Monster, the office or place of Lieutenant of his Majesty's Tower t> f London, in the room of General William Loftus, deceased.— Gazette. testimonies of affection which 1 have received in these journeys have deeply affected my heart. Its wishes are present to my mind: you will assist me in fulfilling them. " Order will be protected— liberty guaranteed— every factious attempt confounded and repressed. Thus will revive that confidence in the future, which alone can restore the confidence of the country. " It, is to attain this end— to consolidate more and more the constitutional monarchy, that. 1 have paused the several projects of law to be prepared which will be laid before you. " tn that which has for its object the decision of a great, constitutional question reserved by the charter for the examination of the Chambers, you will, I hope, perceive that I always seek to make our institutions harmonize with the interests arid the wishes of the nation, enlightened by experience, and matured by time. < f You will also have to examine, conformably to the promises of the charter, the projects of law destined to complete the departmental and municipal organization, to determine the responsibility of ministers, aud of the other agents of government, and to regulate the liberty 0 f ins true ioi. Other projects of law- on the recruiting of the a my, on the penal code, on the finances, and divers public interests— will also, be laid before you. I ac - knowledge the whole extent of the distresses which the present commercial crisis causes the nation to suffer. 1 am afficted at them, and admire the courage with which they are supported. 1 hope they are approach- ing to their close, and that the consolidation of order will- soon produce the security necessary for the cir- culation of capital, and will restore to our commerce and manufacturers that activity, which, under a govern- ment always guided by the national interests, can never be interrupted except for a moment.. " The situation of our finances is satisfactory ; if our wants are great, abundant resources are prepared to provide for them. " The budgets for the service of 1831 and 1832 will be presented to you early in the session. Reductions have been made in several branches of the administra- tion. They would be more important if the increase of our means of defence, and the developement. of our military force, had not hitherto imposed on us great sacrifices. " 1 shall hasten to diminish the burden of them as soon as I shall have acquired the certainty of being able to do so without risking the dignity and safety of France. " This certainly depends On a general disarming. France desires it— the governments of Europe feel the necessity of it— the interest of all requires it. ( Bravo.) " I have the satisfaction to announce to you already, that 1 have not. had occasion to employ all the re- sources which the chambers had placed at my disposal. " Since the revolution of July, France has resumed in Europe the rank which belongs to her, and hence- forth nothing can deprive her of it. ( Bravo.) " Never was her independence belter guaranteed. Our National Guards, who are equal to our army— our aimies, the worthy depositaries of the inheritance of our ancient glory, would defend that independence as they have lately protected internal peace andliberty. I have only to congratulate myself on. the, fiienoly rela- tions which foreign governments maintain with mine. " It was our duty to seek to draw closer the natural and anc- ent bonds of friendship which uni^ e' France and the United Stales of Norlh America. A treaty has just put an end to disputes which have been too long Carried on- by two countries connected by so many recollections and sympathies. Other treaties have been concludcd with the. repub- lics of Mexico and Hayti. ' c All these acts will be communicated to you as soon as they shall be ratified, in order that the financial s'filiations which they contain may be submitted to you for your inspection. " I have given orders to increase the number of vesse's employed to insure the execution of the law passed in tbe iast session, for the effectual suppression of the negro slave trade. " Conformably to my demands, the troops of tlie Emperor of Austria have evacuated the'Roman states. A real amnesty— the abolition of confiscation— import- ant changes in the administrative and judicial system; such are the ameliorations which, being secured to these, states, make us hope that their tranquillity will not be again . disturbed— that the balartce of Europe will be strengthened by the maintenance of their inde- pendence. " The kingdom of the Netherlands as constituted by the treaties of 1814 and 1815 has ceased to exist. The independence of Belgium, and its separation from Hol- land, have been recognized by the, great powers. The King of the Belgians will not be a member of the German Confederation. The fortresses erected to threaten France, and not to protect Belgium, will be elemolishcd. A neutrality recognized by Europe, and the friendship of France, ensure to our neighbours an independence of which we have been the first support. ( Lively applause.) " The power which governs in Portugal had insulted French subjects— it had disregarded, with respect to them, the rights of justice and of humanity; to obtain reparation, demanded in vain, our ships of war have appeared before the Tagns. I have just received the news that they have forced the entrance. The satisfac- Sheriffs of' Shropshire} - JUST PUBLISHED, IN ONE VOI. I ME, DEMY FOLIO, PRICE £ 2. 2s.

Mr. BARON BOLI. ANC, in his charge to th6 Grand Jury, expressed his regret that the Calendar should comprise so many heavy charges, at the same time con- gratulating tlie gentlemen that several of the prisoners charged with the most serious crimes were not residents of the county. His Lordship then proceeded to refer to the principal cases that would be submitted to the Grand Jury; after which he dismissed thetn to their important duties. ELIZABETH EVANS was found guilty of a lar- ceny ; and as, on the trial, the prisoner evinced evident symptoms of imbecility, sentence was deferred until enquiry could be made as to her state of mind. JONATHAN ROOSE, of Elton, JOHN FARREN, of Hales Owen, and HENRY BEESTALL, were in- dicted for stealing, on the 17th of April, from Dolanog House, in Welch Pool, a bay mare, a saddle, and three bridles, the property of Mr. David Jones, of Welch Pool— a black gelding, the property of Mr. William Stead, of Shrewsbury— aud a brown pony gelding, the property of Mr. Henry Jones, surgeonf of Welch Pool.— Trie prisoners pleaded " not guilty" in a very confident tone. John Hayues, servant to Mr. D. Jones, at Dolanog, deposed, tliat on Sunday night, the 17th of April, he locked the stable door, and that his master's mare was then in the stable; that about a quarter past six next morning, he found the stable door open, its lock nearly broken off, and that the mare was gone; and that a saddle and three bridles were also missing, which were there when he locked the stable the previous night; the door appeared to have been forced open with a chisel.— 1 Mr. Stead was staying at his master's house on the 17lli; he had a black horse, which was left in Mr. Jones's field that night, but it was not there next morn- mg. Witness said his master's mare had since been brought back, and he could swear to the identity. Samuel Davies, Serjeant at mace, and police officer of Welch Pool, was seiit by Mr. David Jones in search of his mare : from information he gathered on the way, he succeeded in tracing the prisoners al the bar principally d and bye- roads to Church Langton, in PA l'SONS'S TEA GROCERY ESTABLISHMENT, Opposite the Talbot Inn.

Leicestershire, about 100 miles from Welch Pool; he found Roose at the Red Lion public house, at Church Langton, where the stolen horses were in the stable; this was on the 20th of A pril; he took Roose into custody, to convey him to Leicester; there were four horses in the stable; and on witness going to take possession of them, Roose said'—" What do you want with the four horses, only three belong to you." Roose said he had given 60 guineas for the other horse. On searching Roose he found upon him £ 62 in money, and a bar- bill from the Wheat Sheaf, Welch Pool, where he said he had been two days and a night.— On the 23d of April, witness receiver! Farmer and Beestall into custody at Uttoxeter, where he also received a saddle from a constable. Mr. Charles Lee stated, that he keeps a public house at Cheswardine, which is about 38 miles from Welch Pool; the prisoners at the bar came to his house, with five horses, about a quarter before nine on Monday morning, April 18th; the horses appeared very much tired, and witness fed and fettled them ; they stayed about two liottrs; they came from the Shrewsbury side, and oil leaving enquired their way across Staffordshire, and went in a direction for Eccleshall.— Witness had since seen Mr. David Jo- es's inaie ; and he was quite sure it was one of the five brought by the prisoners to his house on the 18th of April. Mr. John Hayward said, he keeps the Bull's Head public house at Blvthbury, in Staffordshire, about sixty miles from Welch Pool; on the 18th of April the prisoners came to his house, with five horses, about four or five o'clock in the evening; thgy slept at his house; and went away about half- past nine next morn- ing. There was a black horse, a pony, and a brown one, among the five. The prisoner Fan- en had been at his house before. Mr. David Jones,— Live at Dolanng, in Welch Pool; missed a bay mare on the morning of the 18th of April, and went into StafTordshiie in pursuit; had bills printed at Uttoxeter, and distributed them at Rugeley ; went to Uttoxeter on the. following Saturday, found Farren and Beestall in custody there ; and brought ihem to Welch Pool. His mare was afterwards brought to Pool by William Davies.—[ At the conclusion of Mr. Jones's examination, the prisoners were asked, as is customary, by the Court, whether they had any question to put to th. e witness ?— To which one of them replied, " No, my Lord, he is a gentleman every inch of him."] William Davies.— Is a horse . jockey, and lives at Welch Pord; knows Mr. Jones's maie well i went to Leicester, by direction of Samuel Davies, on the 23d of April, where he received the mare, and brought her back to Mr. Jones's. George Ashley.— Ts ostler at the Wheat Sheaf, in Welch Pool; saw the three prisoners there about eleven o'clock on Saturday night, t!' 0 16th of April; the three did not come together ; they had two horses with them ; they left the house about three or four o'clock the next afternoon, said they were going up to Llanidloes, and did start on that road. Mrs. Newell, landlady of the Wheat Sheaf lntl, con- firmed Ashley's testimony.— This closed the case for the prosecution. John Ouseley, a farmer, of Elton,. in Derbyshire, was cjtlled on behalf of the prisoner Roose. Witness said he knew Roose well; he had lately been a horse- dealer ; and witness had always heard a good character of him.— Mary Dale, a schoolmistress, living near Elton, also gave Roose a good character. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty; and they were sentenced to be transported for life.— There were three other indictments against the prisoners: but on the above conviction taking place, it was not thought necessary to call evidence as to the other cases. LEWIS MEREDITH, charged with stealing a brown mare, the property of Mr. II. Griffiths, innkeeper, of Llauwrin, was acquitted. EDWARD REES, DAVID OWEN, & EDWARD EVANS, were indicted for maliciously wounding and killing a mare, and for maliciously maiming a horse, the property of Mr. David Edwards, of Fronfelog, in the parish of Llangerrig, on the 9th of June last. The Attorney- General, in stating the case, said Mr. Edwards had prosecuted a brother of the prisoner Rees at the last Assizes, and the other prisoners were rela- tions to Rees: from this circumstance the malice of the prisoners against the prosecutor was inferred. John Owen examined.— Is servant to the prosectitor ; turned two horses into Griffin Wood pasture on the 9th of June last, between one aud two o'clock in the morn- ing ; as he was coming out of the pasture he heard men's voices, and sheltered himself behind a tree; saw three men there, they were Edward Rees, David Owen, and Edward Evans ; saw Edward Rees go lo the side of the mare and make a stab at her; witness was ANN EVANS, charged with stealing fowls at Llanfair, was acquitted. THOMAS JONES, indicted for stealing a bag at Llanfyllin, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be imprisoned six months. NISI PRIUS. CFIF. wE i'.

FITZGERALD r. BOSTOCK. This was an act: on brought by the plaintiff ( a trades- man residing in Chester) to recover the amount of a bill drawn by Thomas Evans ( formerly grocer in Pool, but now residing in Shrewsbury'), upon Edward Bos- tock, and accepted by the latter.— Mr. Lloyd conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. Temple that of the defendant. TnoinasEvans examined.— fThebill being produced.] — I am the drawer of this bill; the acceptor is Edward Bostock. 1 am not sure that it was an accommodation bill ; there was an account current between defendant and myself; 1 am not certain of the amount of balance between myself and defendant when this bill wasdrawu, but there was a balance ; it was not to the amount of the bill produced; I was in Bostock's debt in 1829.— [ An account was produced.]— I do not recollect when the account produced for 1829 was delivered to Bos- tock ; the .. balance on the face of this account is £ 32. 2s. Kid. This account was delivered about September, 1829, and was made out by myself; but I dispute " cash, £ 7," put in the account by Bostock since 1 delivered it The balance, as appears in my hand- writing, is £ 13.13s. Sd. in Bostock's favour. I have had two or three returned bills of Bostock's since 1829, when that account was delivered. [ Another account was now put in.] 1 am not prepared to sav that this account is correct.; there is the amount of a bill which ought not to appear against me. The bill before the Court is my drawing, and I saw Bostock accept it. Cross- examined.— 1 cannot say it was accepted at the time it was drawn; it was accepted two or three days before it was drawn; it was a blank acceptance ( that is, the acceptance was made on a blank stamp); it was accepted in the bar at the Bear Inn, on the 16th March, 1830; we had two glasses of ale ; the pen and ink were brought by Miss Lloyd ; Bostock has frequently accepted bills on b'ank stamps; Miss Lloyd was present; it was ab lit eleven o'clock in fhe morning. On the part of the defendant ( who denied having acccp'ed the bill) Mr. TEMPLE called the following witnesses:— David Jones.— I am a maltster in Pool, and was so in Maich, 1830; I remember that the Bear Inn was shut up on the 16th of March, 1830; the house had been shut up for about a month before; Miss Lloyd was the bar- maid : she left about three weeks before the 16th of March; she was not there at the time of the sale; I was at the sale each day. Thomas Evans called.— I was messenger at the Bear Inn, under the bankruptcy; I was in possession five weeks ; there was nothing served to customers for that time; Miss Llovd went away in the latter end of February, arid did not retnrn ; I was in possession, and the house was shut up ; sometimes the shutters were closed; Mr Packwood had the keys of the cellar; I never saw Miss Llovd after the end of February; I believe she went to Birmingham. Mr. David Jones re- called.— I went with Miss Lloyd about 30 miles on the road from this place, and then left her on the coach going to Birmingham, in which town her friends reside. Thomas Groom.— I am a carrier; I live at Welsh Pool. [ The bill was produced.] I am acquainted with Bostock's hand- writing, I have had several bills of Bostock's, and do not believe this acceptance is Bos- tock's hand writing. Cross- examined.— I do not recollect, having any bills from Bostock of Evans's drawing; I have seen Bostock's hand- writing many times; 1 will uot stvear it is not Bostock's hand- writing. By the Couit.— If I had been asked, 100 miles from hence, if it was Bostock's hand- writing, not knowing the circumstances, I should have said it was not. John Newell.— I am an innkeeper and maltster; I have seen this bill before; I have seen Bostock's hand- writing; I do not ilynk this acceptance is Bos- tock's writing, from the manner in which I have seen him write. Cross- examitied.— I have seen Bostock write accept- ances ; I may have seen acceptances of Bostock's on bills drawn by Evans; I know Bostock, and have fiequently seen him write. Richard Goolden.— I am a carrier living in " Welch Pool; 1 am acquainted with Bostock's writing; I have seen this bill, and to the best of my knowledge I bel'e> e it is not Bostock's acceptance ; I have frequently seen him accept bills. CioS^- examined.— 1 have received several of Bostock's acceptances ; I will not swear that he did not write this acceptance. Mr. Eaton.— The e is a resemblance to Bostock's writing in this acceptance, but it differs rather from his signature generally, and I will not sdy whether it is his or not; I have seen him write several times, and have R. J. Harrison, Esq. John Bill Pryce, Esq. T. Lloyd Dic. ken Esq. Arthur LI. Humphreys, Esq.- " Edward Williames, Esq. Samuel Edmonds, Esq. This was an action brought by Mr. Stanley, of New- town, against Mr. Matthews, for taking down and! carrying away a hedge. It appeared that Mr. Stanley had purchased a piece of land, upon which he had built some cottages; that there was a piece of waste land ad » - joining the end, but running along between a piece of land called Coedtnawr ( belonging W Mr. Matthews)- a- id the turnpike road from Llanfair to Newtown.— Mr. Stanley had the piece of waste fenced off for himself, and thereby cut off Mr. Matthews from a very consider- able frontage to tlie turnpike road ;— Mr. Matthews had the fence thrown down, and this action was the con- sequence. Plans were produced on each side; and it was proved by defendant's witnesses that a specific quantity of land had been purchased by Mr. Stanley, which specific, quantity he Continued to possess. The case occupied the attention of the Court until lialf- past twelve o'clock at night; afterwhi. ch the Jury continued in deliberation until ufearlv twp o'clock in the morning, when they returned a verdict for defendant.

TH MADDOX were found guilty of keeping a disorderly house, and were sen- tenced to 6 months' imprisonment.— The prisoner called" some witnesses to character; one of whom described herself as the wife of a linen- draper ; biit on her cross- examination she said, " by a linen- draper, 1 mean a ragmun."'

EHS— Farren, one of the three men convicted of stealing horses from the neighbourhood of Welsh Pool, has made a disclosure as to some other individuals belonging to their gang, and as to some of tlieir plans. He lias admitted that they have hail correspondents in many parts of tbe kingdom; and that Mr. D. Jones's mare was stolen by a Welshman, and transferred to him and his confederates. He ha* named two or three associates, and a gentlemaiK » in pursuit of them. He has also said that a person in the town or neighbourhood of Oswestry is connected with the gang; that on the occasion of their stealing the horses for which they were apprehended, ifie principal of the gang remained at the New ttth, + f » Frankwell, Shrewsbury," while they went up to steal the horses ; and it had been determined to come for more horses from the same vicinity. SHREWSBURY HUMANE SOCIETY. On Thursday last a Town Meeting convened by fhe Mayor, pursuant to a " requisition addressed to him for that purpose, was held in the Guild Hall, " to lake into consideration some more efficient means " of supporting the Shrewsbury Humane Society."— Robert Gray, F. sq ( in the absence of the Mayor) took the chair; and, after waiting a considerable time, nine or ten gentlemen only being assembled, the business of Ihe meeting was proceeded upon.— Mr. Whitney said that the funds of the society were in a very inefficient state, there being on the last year' » account n deficiency of £ 29. IPs 9d.— Mr. VV. further observed, that the men employed by the society had, since its formation, been the means of saving thirteen lives, by reselling them in situations of imminent peril, and in which, but for such aid, they must have perished. The persons thus employed had also done much good in pointing out the dangerous places of the livedo persons about lo bathe therein, and by preventing persons bathing in improper places. One life only had been lost by bathing within the Society's limits since its commencement; in that case the person employed to watch on that division had neglected hi. duty ; anil in consequence be was ili- chargrd.-^ ln two instances, the means directed for the recovery of suspended animation in persons who had fallen into the water, had been successfully exerted; and he ( Mr. W) was quite satisfied that much good could and would be done under the Society's directions, if it Were adequately supported.— A series of resolution* were then proposed and unanimously adopted ( see Advert. 1st paffej, as was also a resolution founded upon a communication received by the Mayor from Manchester, urging the necessity, under existing cir- cumstances, of the proprietors of large establishments, parish officers, & c. calling upon work- people and occupiers of small tenements to use every means that can be effected by cleanliness, ventilation, whitewash- ing, & c. for the preservation of health and the prevention of infection. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. A Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors was held in this town on Monday last, before William John Law, Esq. one of His Majesty's Commissioners. Richard Lewis, late of Wellington, cooper; William Brookes, late of Ketley, labourer; John Jones, late of Wem, coal- dealer and boatman; Ambrose Brookes, late of Whitchurch, shoemaker ; James Lowe, late of Hales Owen, Agent to the British Iron Company ; and ll'illiam May, late of Shrewsbury, ostler, were de- clared to be entitled to their discharge forthwith. Richard Onians, late of Rowton, in the parish of Stokesay, farmer, was opposed on behalf of Mr. Mar- ston, one of his creditors ; ami after a long hearing, it was decided by the commissioner that tno insolvent should be discharged conditionally, on a certain . mort- gage to a Mr. Smith being given up ; in which case, Mr. Smith and Mr. Marston to be assignees ; otherwise to stand adjourned for judgment; and in the latter cas. a new balance sheet to be filed from 1st of April, 1831. — Twenty- one days' notice to be given to the opposing creditors. William Smith the younger, late of Madeley Wood, stationer and paper- hanger, was opposed on behalf of Messrs. Sineaton, of Birmingham, paper- hanging manu- facturers and was remanded for six months from the day of filing his petition. John Garbett, late of Pontesbury, carpenter, was opposed by Messrs. Chime, t tnbcr- merchants, Shrews- bury; anil the Commissioner, gave judgment for his discharge in 6 months; Messrs. Chune consenting to llis immediate discharge on his verifying the receipts and expenditure ill an account produced in Court Dy the Insolvent, but not inserted in his schedule, .' f seen several of his acceptances; I do not recollect having seen any bills of Evans's drawing accepted by Bosto'ck : I have seen a trifling variation in people's manner of writing at different times. Cross- examined,— The object in forging a man's name is to make a resemblance of his signature. By the Court.— This acceptance appears to have been written in a hurry, and may have been Bostock's writing. I should not have supposed it to be a forgery, if it had been presented to me. Mr. Bostock is about 40 years old; this writing is rather incomplete, and not so well written as he usually does. Mr. Temple having addressed the Jury for the defendant, Mr. Lloyd made an able reply on behalf of the plaintiff; and the Learned Judge summed up the Case to the Jttry. The Jury, after deliberating some time, said, " We find Evans not guilty.'"— The Learned Judge ex- plained to them that they were not trying Evans, aud must find a verdict for plaintiff or defendant, as they should in their judgment decide— They then returned a verdict for plaintiff, damages £ 32. 3s. BENNET V. PRYCE.— This was an action brought by plaintiff against defendant for alleged trespass, by cutting rushes, & c. npon a part of the plaintiff's lands, called Bortha Wythen, near Llanidloes.— After the evidence, & c. had been gone through, the Jury re- turned a verdict for defendant. DAVID JONES & WILLIAM PICKERING were arraigned npon, and pleaded not guilty to. an indictment, con- taining 26 counts, written upon 12J yards of parchment, charging them with an attempt to defraud the Trustees of the Second District of Roads in Montgomeryshire.— After hearing much argument in the case, Mr. Baron Bolland directed an acquittal, and the Jury accordingly retumed a verdict of Not Guilty.

Oil COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, APRIL 22, 1828. Adjourned Sitting at Nisi Pi ins, in London, after Hilary Term, beforeioriTENTERDEN, ahd Common Juries, THURNEI. L versus VERONL This was an action for goods sold and delivered by the plaintiff, an upholsterer and cabinet- maker, lo the defendant, a gentleman residing in A'sop's Place, Regent's Park. The demand was for £ 37. 3s. Proof having been given of tbe sale and delivery of tlie goods, which consisted principally of a bedstead and furniture, palliasse, mattrass, bolster, and pillows, Mr. GURNEY addressed the jury for the defendant. He hoped that the public, if not his client, would derive some benefit from the remit of this action. The defendant had been attracted to the plaintiff's shop by a handbill, in which the plaintiff held himself out to the public as the agent of the Journeymen Cabinet- makers' Society, aud staled that the goods deposited at his warehouse were for sale at no profit beyond that which was sufficient to pay the bare journeymen's wages. This was a barefaced fraud, there being no such society as the one alluded to. He should show that the goods in question were mere rubbish, arid that tlie defendant, on, finding that they were so, sent them back according to tile terms of the purchase, but that the plaintiff refused to take them again. It would be for the jury to say, whether, under these circum- stances, they would allow any part of this demand. The plaintiff's hand- bill was then put in and read. It described the plaintiff's premises as follows:—" The Western Repository for llic Cabinet- makers' Society, Union Place, New Road, between Mary- le- bone New Church and Baker Street ( late the Regent's Bazaar), and at 71, Corner of Leadenhall Street, opposite Aldgate I'ump, for Ready Money only, established for the Benefit of a number of Cabinet- makers with large Families ; aud as there is no profit attached to the goods further than the bare journeymen's wages, it enables their agents to sell so cheap. The Society return tlieir sincere thanks to the Nobility-, and the Public in general, who have so liberally patronized the undertaking; and, as tbey feel themselves so hand- somely supported, beg leave to say that, no exertion shall be wanted to merit, a continuance of their favours." The plaintiff's foreman admitted that the goods were sold subject to approval. When the defendant gave the order for them lie was promised that tliey should be of good quality, anil that if not approved they should be e.\' changed. The foreman also stated that the plaintiff was the proprietor of ( he premises described in the bill, and he ( witness) knew nothing about bis being an agent for tlie sale of goods. He believed he sold them on his own account. Two cabinet- makers stated that the bedstead, palli- asse, and mattrasses were of the most inferior quality. The bedstead was made of the very woist materials, there were some heavy shakes in the wood, which were filled up with putty or something else. The laths, too, were very slight and inferior. One of the' mattrasses, which was described in the bill as a doe- hair mattrass, was filled up with some very bad stuff; the witnesses did not know what it was. The other ina'trass, which was stated to be a horse- hair one, was not quite so inferior; it was, however, not a horse- hair mattrass, but. was filled up with a sort of cow- hair. The bolsters and pillows were npt properly filled. It was proved that the defendant sent the goods hack to the plaintiff, and that the latter refused to lake them in. Mr. F. POLLOCK, who appeared for the plaintiff, was about to reply, but— Lord TENTERDEN interposed, and said he thought lie might as well spare himself the trouble. This was the case of a man who had held out false colours to the world. He professed to be the agent of the Cabinet- makers' Society, anil sell goods at a profit of journey- men's wages only— his statements were false— ought he then, under such circumstances, to he allowed to recover any put of his demand? There were, no doubt, a gieat many gulls in this town, and it was tlie duty of judges and juries to protect such persons as much as possible. The case might go to the jury if the learned Counsel ( Mr. Pollock) pleased, but he ( Lord Tenterden) thought that the plaintiff could ex- pect nothing from their hands. Mr. Pollock elected to be nonsuited, and the plaintiff was accordingly called. Lord TENTERDEN.— This is as gross a fraud as was ever committed. Great injury is done to the fair and honest, t radesman by such practices as these. A decoy is held out to the public by the exhibition of s- ine good articles which are now arid then sold, but in general the most, inferior articles tire put upon ti e customer, aud thus the most abominable frauds are committed. top auction.

The Ci immission was opened at Worcester on Saturday week, and the trials of tbe prisoners, of whom there were 3- 2 in the calendar, were brought to a conclusion on Wednesday morning, The following were tbe sentences:— William Harrison, found guilty of beajtiality at Dudley, was condemned and left for execution, without any hope of mercy. DEATH RECORDED.— Wi'liam Hopkins, for stealing five sheep from J. B. Averell; William Corbet, for stealing a colt from 1). Hawkes; James Hopkins and Thomas Cox, for house breaking, at All cchurcb ; William Sweetman, for a similar offence, at Mai tley; arid John Williams, for stealing money from ibe person of J. Moore. John Beecham and Henry Becslcy, for picking pockets, were ordered to be transported for life': Thomas Harris, for a similar offence; Mary Anne Smith and Sarah Brown, for stealing wearingapparel from J. Owen ; itml Joseph Tedd, for receiving money knowing it to be stolen, to be transported for 1- 1 years: and Edward Griffin, for stealing an iron grate from F. Williams, Esq 7 years'transportation. Six were sentenced to various periods of imprison- ment ; one was fined ; nine were acquitted or dis charged ; and the trial of three men, charged with shooting ot Lord Coventry's gamekeeper, was post- poned til! the next Assizes Amongst those who Were acquitted, was Jiin Walters, a bankrupt, charged with conceal!: g two account- books, with intent to defraud his creditors. There were entered for trial 35 causes.— The Special Jury case, The King v. Heath, was tried on Tuesday. Mr. Whateley opened the pleadings, and stated lhat this was an indictment for an assault on the Rev. E. Herbert.— Mr Campbell shortly addressed the Jury.— He stated that the assault was committed in tbe streets of Worcester, on the 23d of February last. Tbe learned gentleman called witnesses to prove the assault. The defendant horsewhipped Mr. Herbert. Among other witnesses was Mr. John Parker of Wor- cester ( the Rev. E. Herbert's solicitor), from whose evidence it appeared that an effort hail been made on Mr. Herbert's part to settle the affair with Mr. Heath. Whin the eiidence was concluded, Mr. C. Phillips addressed the Jury in a long and brilliant speech, from which it appeared that Mr. Herbert some time ago paid bis addresses to Miss Heath, the sister of Ibe defendant, and that those addresses had been discon- tinued.— The immediate cause of the assault appears to have been some reflections cast by Mr. Herbert upon ( he memory of tbe defendant's father, the Rev. W. Heath, vicar of lnkberrow, in this county.— Mr. Justice Patteson told Ihe Jury the only question they bad to determine was, whether an assault had been committed ; they had nothing to do with the motives which actuated the defendant.— The Jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. C. Phillips applied lo tbe learned Judge to deliver judgment, during the present Assizes. Mr. Justice Patteson declined to do so, as it would probably be necessary for him to hear many long affidavits Mr. Fretwell's action against Lord Nor 111 wick for pulling down his threshing machine, expected to come on for trial, before a Special Jury, was compromised in Court, the defendant's counsel agreeing to pay £ 100 aud costs of suit, to the disappointment of hun- dreds who wished it to be proceeded in. It will be recollected that there was a previous prosecution against his Lordship's men at the Quarter Sessions, where they were fined £ 140. J lie Commission of Assize was opened at Stafford on Thursday evening.— There were 74 prisoners for trial; and 31 causes were entered at NisiPrius — The only ease of interest tried on Friday was lhat of Galtimore v. Fisher, for a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff, who is about 10 years of age, is a widow with a large family, and keeps a public- house at Lane End. The defendant is a gar- dener and seedsman at tlie same place, arid is about the same age.— After hearing the case, tbe Jury returned a verdict for plaintiff with Is. damages.

InoNBiunGE DISPENSARY.— This benevolent in- stitution has been established more than two years: President, the Right Hon. Lord Forester; Vice Presi- dents, Hon G. C W. Forester, M. P. Paul Beilhy Thompson, Esq. M. P. Thomas Ivyunersley, Esq. Rev. George Edmonds, Rev. Townsend Forester, D. D F. B. Harries, Esq. Walter Moselev, Esq. Joseph Reynolds, Esq. The Committee of the present year report as follows :—" During the past year, 735 Patients have been admitted ; a number exceeding by 1 11, those admitted during the preceding year. Of these, 553 have been discharged, cured — 17, relieved — 4, for non attendance— 2, as receiving parochial relief.— G, have been transferred to the County In- firmary— and 26, have died — 126, remaining on tbe books. The total number admitted since the opetfing of the Dispensary, on the 4th of August, t828, lias amounted to 1S53. In the past year, 3184 visits have been paid to patients residing in the parishes of Madeley, Broseley, and Benlhall, and 243 visits to patients beyond the limits of those parishes, and con- sequently of tbat district, within which alone the Medical Officers of tbe Institution are bound, if need be, to visit patients at their own houses." The Com- mittee bear testimony to the continued assiduity of . Mr. Richard Tbursfield and Sir. James Rowland, the Surgeons; and add " The abstract of the Treasurer's Account shews that fhe Receipts of the year have amounted to £ 128- 13s. Od and tbe Disbursements to £ 168. 17s lid. tbe excess of expenditure, above the income being £ 40. 4s, lid." We have to announce, in our paper of this day, the completion of an Abridgment of the Common Law Reports, by Mr. Petersdorff, the eminent special pleader. There is no branch of the legal profession to whom this work will not prove of ( lie highest value, as well as to magistrates and members of parliament: but to solicitors in the country the possession of it is quite requisite, as it places before them, in Hie most comprehensive form, anil vvifh the greatest facility of refercrice, fhe actual state of the law, under every essential head, as well as tbe latest adjudications. The laborious and difficult undertaking of collecting, col- lating, translating, comparing, arranging, and epitom- ising, not less than CO, 000 decision's, comprised in 240 volumes ( many of them exceedingly s- circe), with connecting and explanatory notes,* critical remarks, analytical tables, and a series of illustrative references, lias, at laist, been finally, arid we doubt not, efficiently and satisfactorily accomplished. It may now be truly affirmed that the Reports are no longer inaccessible to any branch or grade of the profession The following appear to be the leading features of fhe Work : — 1 An Abridgement and Translation of the Common Law Reports; 2. A Specification of what Decisions have b en affirmed, recognised, qualified, or Over- ruled ; 3 An Abridgment of all the Rules of Court; 4 An Index to all the authentic Common Law Cases, fi om tbe Year Books to the piesent Time ; 5. A Col- lection of Manuscript Cases; 6 An Abridgment of all the Public Statutes to which Reference i. i Practice usually made; 7. A Practical and E'emina; y Treatise on every Branch of the Common Law. COMMANDING THE THUNDER.— The appetite and eccentricity of the gOod humoured crier of tbe Sessions Court for the county of Cheshire, have long been the subjects of merriment to the loungers of the hack benchcs of tbe ball, at Knutsford. A circunw stance occurred on Monday week, that affirdcd ad difional cause for laughter. During tbe transaction of Ihe private business in the Magistrates' room, there was a temporary suspension of those duties which be performs With such credit to himself, and advantage to the county. Tbe atmosphere being ratherclo'uded, the lassitude to which he is occasionally subject after repletion, sfole upon his senses, and in a few moments he was fast I Picked in tbe arms of Morpheas. He had not long been nodding when suddenly a clap of thunder aroused liim from his. reverie, and starting to his feet he roared out " silence," mo- t lustily. This singular command threw tbe whole Court almost into convulsions.

' Fhe sweep of change is over all; nor do even inanimate things continue the same. The pustoral stream is defiled by tliei encroachments of trade ; the axe has been laid to the root of the. memorable tree ; and the seclusion of the wood is bared to ibe flaunting of improve- ments— nature has been altered by the " inarch of mind," lill all her tranquillizing and ennobling effects bave been destroyed ; aud what of man's own works were dear from association and feeling; have perished beneath tbe beautifying baud of a more enlightened age. Oh, lei us look forward— it is sad lo look back. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Thursday last, the 21st instant, a dreadful accident occurred iu Ludlow Castle; by which the town has been deprived of a very valu- able member of society. Mr. Richard Jackson; plumber and glazier, a most, respectable tradesman, was employed in the Castle Green to paint the fire- engines, whose good nature induced him to leave his work to show tlie curiosities in tbe interior of tbe Castle to some visitors ; treading incautiously on some decayed timber placed over a wide and deep well ( ninety- seven feet) which in times long gone by hail supplied ( he garrison of the Castle wilh water, he was precipitated headlong to the'bottom, and killed on tbe spot, leaving an affectionate daughter and a numerous circle of acquaintance to lament bis un- timely end.— Ludlow Castle being considered extra parochial, it was deem d expedient to send to Bishop's Castle for Mr. Wollaston, one of the coroners for tbe county, before whom the inquest has been held, and the Jury have unanimously returned a verdict of1 Accidental Death. MOST MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.— On Friday last, all occurrence of the most melancnoly nature took place in tbe parish of Boharm, and caused the deepest regret throughout the district in which it happened. About ten in the evening, James Reidj tailor, thought be heard tbe screech of a partridge, and accordingly took his gun, which was loaded at the time, and went ont for the purpose of shooting at the bird. He had not gone any distance from his own house when be espied two objects near a plant- ation, which appeared to hint to be two deer. He accordingly placed himself in a stopping position, and having so far neareil them as he conceived would enable him to shoot them, he levelled bis piece anil fired. Immediately on the report of the gun he beard a loud wild sort of scream, from which be in- ferred thill one of the cleer must tie wounded. lo ari instant another scream followed, the deln- ioit still ex- isting that it was ( hat of a deer. A third one fol- lowed, when the shocking fact flashed on his minrl that the wild sounds he had heard were those of a human being. He rushed to the spot whence they proceeded, when, to his utter horror he beheld two inen, bis nearest neighbours, lying all covered with blooil on tbe ground. John Taylor, the name of the one, after the arrival of the unfortunate man, made a slight motion wilh both his hands, and then breathed his last. The other person, of the naine of Morrison, was sprawling on the ground in a most dreadful state of agony. The unhappy individual who had itnconciously been the cause of tbe dread- ful scene, ran lo the nearest house, when a number' of people having assembled, tbe survivor was'carried 111 a blanket to bis own abode. It appeared ort ex- amination, that the ball had entered above the aruu pit of John Taylor, whence it passed, in an oblique direction, until it came out at the left side of his neck. It then entered one of the sides of Ihe ot I'er individual, and proceed right through his body un- til it reached to within an inch or so of tbe other side< where, being spent, it remained. At tbe time the' shocking occurrence took place, the two men were moving close beside ea, h other. Hence the singular circumstance of Ihe same ball thus taking down two men at once. On the survivor being carried home, the Reverend Mr Forbes, parish minister, was sent for, who took his deposition, air far as he was able to give it, regarding the circumstalnCes uf the dreadful case. There can be no question whatever that the affair was purely accidental Morrison lingered until Sunday morning, when be expired. He was unman rieil; but the other unfortunate deceased has left, a wife and five children to mourn over their sad be- reavement. The two deceased had, it seems, gone out for the purpose of killing deer; and it appears, from the testimony of tbe one who lived longest, that both be and bis comrade were exactly under the same1 delusion with regard to tlie person who was tbe innocent cause of their death, as he was with regard to them— they mistook him for a deer, and under this impression were preparing lo level their pieces at him at the very moment the/ were struck to ihe ground bv ( he contents of bis What increases I he sirjgu'arity of this strange as well as mournful catistroph" is the fact, thnt tile d st ance between the deceased a id the unhappy man who was the means of their d'jath at fie time he fired was 129 yards The u lhappy i idividu'al who has thus prculaliirely ended th • tins of two fellow- beings, is in a state, as may b w II cmeeived, of the utmost distress: and to add lo its p lignancy, were lhat possible, one of them was hi* own ci. us n, and both were bis neighbours and . intimate acquaintances.

On Friday, the 1st instant, a slilp of Ihe line, a frigat •, and a brig, funning part of tbe French squadron off Lisbon, chased a Portuguese vessel the Lord Wellington, of 301) tons, into Cascaes Bay, keeping up n constant tire, to otiligo her to heave to. When within the range of the guns of Ibe battery, the Poriugues" opened a brisk fire on the squadron ; the Lord Wellington then came to anchor under the butteries. The line of bailie ship and frigate returned the fire from the batteries, anil silenced ihe guns; afler which ihey sent in Iheii. boats, which succeeded in bringing out Ihe Wel- lington.

Mr. Wellesley'a commitment to the Fleet for contempt was mentioned in the House of Commons on Monday, tiie Speaker reading I. ord Brougham's and Mr. Wellesley's letters to him on thc sutiject; and, after some conversation, it was agreed to refer the matter to the committee of privileges, to ascer- tain whether or not Mr. Wellesley was protected by being a member. Mr. Baring took' occasion to animadvert ou the extent of the privileges Claimed, and declared that, if he should be in parliament next session, lie wftuld call attention to the pro- lection enjoyed by members against arrests for their debts, HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. MR. WELLESLEY. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had to request the attention of their lordships lo a matter which was very likely to raise a question as to the privileges of their lordships' house," ibe most im- portant that in his memory had occurred. An order had been pronounced by a venerable prede- cessor of his, whom he now saw in his place ( Lord Eldon), and which order had been subsequently and solemnly confirmed by their lordships— by the highest judicial authority in the state— to prevent Mr. Long Wellesley from having the charge of, or uny communication with, his children. Notwith- standing this, that gentleman had thought pro- per, by force aud fraud combined, to break that order, which was done by going to Ihe residence of the M isses Long, accompanied by four individuals,' who displayed constables' batons, and demanding, in the name of those ladies" solicitors, the child to be delivered up to them. Now in doing this Mr. YVellesley had ill fact been guilty of au assault in law, for he held up his fist in the face of the indivi- duals who endeavoured to prevent his forcibly removing his daughter. Upon having these facts upon affidavits, he ( the Lord Chancellor) instantly sent his own officer to bring the infant back; but Mr. Wellesley refused to deliver her dp, and that gentleman himself admitted in open court that he had removed her by fraud and violence, and that he • would keep possession of her; and added, what was the greatest contempt that could possibly be con- ceived, that he bad already taken steps lo convey licr out of the jurisdiction of the court. Upon this lie ( the Lord Chancellor) had ordered that gentleman lo stand committed ; and had he hesitated for one moment iu doing so; he should not only have been altogether lit) Worthy of tbe seat he had the honour to hold, but have very properly subjected himself to an impeachment' at'their lordships' bar. Was it, he would ask, fo be tolerated, that a pretence like Ihe privilege of parliament should be put up in a case where the dignity of a court of justice was insulted ? No, it would be much better for all law, w licther common or statute, lo be swept away, than for 6uch a monstrous proposition us this to be established. ' I'lie tendency of such a precedent would be the most dangerous. The learned lord, after eniimernting the privileges of members of the legislature, said that this was not process but punishment: il was punishment fur acting wrong, although it might be that the inducement to act wrong was of the most amiablS kind. He had yel to learn that the C ourt of Chancery had not the power he had exercised, and he supposed he was lo learn that from a gentleman, who, although inti- mately acquainted with the laws of parliament,' had been too absent from Westminster Hall lo know much of tbe law s of cburts of justice. But, if it was to be said that any individual who hud Ihe privilege of parliament might, at his pleasure, enter into any court, and obstruct its business, by in- dulging in abusive and inflammatory language, and the presiding judge to possess no power to order his removal, no member of either house of parlia- ment need appear as a witness, or' attend to any process whatever. Never was such a doctrine as Ibis set up before ; and if it should now, or al any future time, be entertained, he felt confident that thc wisdom of both houses of parliament— of the House of Commons on tbe one side, und of their lordships on the other— would repudiate and abjure the privilege. ( Hear.) HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. The House having gone iuto a Committee on the Reform Bill, Mr. W. MACKINNON moved " That thc House do instruct thc Committee to take the census of 1831 instead of 1821 for regulating Ihe population returns of the boroughs included in schedule A and schedule B."— The bun. member argued that il was against common law, common justice, and common sense, to take a census ten years old as a criterion, when that of the present year vvas to be oblained, and which, if the House • wished to do any kind of justice, ought to be adopted. Mr. CRESSETT 1' ELUAM seconded Ihe motion. Mr. G. BANKES supported the motion, and said he had presented a petition from the borough of Great liedwin, which would serve us an illustration iu this case— In 1821 that borough contained about 1900 inhabitants, and was iu consequence now put down among those to be entirely disfranchised, although by the census just taken, the population had, through the increase of the trade of tbe place, & c been enlarged, so as to amount to 2191 persons. The House, after some further discussion, divided; when there appeared, for the motion of Mr. Mackinnon 1( 19— against it 244— mujority 75. On the question being put, that Appleby stand 1 art of schedule A. Lord MAITLAND proposed, as an amendment, that Appleby should be transferred from schedule . A to schedule B.— The borough was iu two purishes, and Iheir population was about 2li00. Mr. CHOKER supported the proposition; ob- serving, that on the same principle that hud been adopted towards Calne, Malmcsbury, Oakhamptou, Horsham, Morpeth, Tavistock, & c. most of which were Whig boroughs, aud had beeu permitted to add ihe population of their parishes to tbe boroughs, in order to preserve their franchise, Appleby ought to be placed in schedule B, by which, instead of being wholly disfranchised, it would relurn oue member. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL maintained that Ihere could be no just ground for disfranchising Ibis borough. The noble lord, though squeamish about uniting some parishes, had been liberal iu his union of parishes about Loudon. In Greenwich, Lam- beth, St. Giles's, St. George's, and others, he had established a sort of Turkish polygamy—( laughter) — a seraglio of parishes; but when they wished to disfranchise or take away a member from two parishes they passed a sentence of divorce a mensa i t thoro.—( A laugh J— He knew that gentlemen who formed the majority were more disposed lo vote than explain. They thought it was quite enough to support the bill ; but that would not do. They should legislate upon sound principles.— Having read schedule A, aud made his comments upon it, be should not pursue the subject further on lhat occasion. He could not avoid at Ihe same time some observations on the case of Appleby, discussed a few days since. Au honourable alder- man had beeu questioned by his constituents for the manly part he took upon that occasion. What 1 did you mean to go into inquiry, said they, in the case of Appleby ? They sent a sort of capias to fake the worthy alderman's body. ( A laugh. J T hey said, " Oh, come before us. What ! did you, a member for the City of London* presume to give a vote for inquiry iuto a case which you had to decide? What! is the City of Loudon to be de- graded by sending a man to parliament who will hear a ease before he decides? Could the City of London allow one of ifs members to be voting for inquiry? This will not do; you must explain lo us. You must admit that you acted inadvertently when you consented to hear counsel." What was to be the end of squabbles like these between inde- pendent members of parliament and their consti- tuents? Why, all independence in the City of London would be at au end. ( Loud laughter. J Much had been said about nomination boroughs, but did they ever hear in tbe examination Of the close borough system, either io latitude or longi- tude, any thing like the system iti Ihe City of London? There the systeni of, a reformed parlia- ment had been well defined. It was a sample of the instruction which would flow from the seraglio of parishes. What might they not expect to hear from Saffron- hill aud the rural population of St. Giles- in- the- Fields ? ( Laughter J When they had disposed of the evil in schedule A, he should iu good lime attack the evil in schedule B. Mr. ATTWOOD said, if Appleby was disfranchised, it would be against tlie very principle profssed by the framers of the Bill itself, and would be an evidence of gross partiality. On a division there appeared, for Lord Maitland'' s amendment 228— against it 302— majority 74 HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The House having gone into a Committee on the Reform Bill, and the disfranchisement of Great Bedvviti and Beeralslon having been carried, The Chairman put the question that the Borough of Bishop's Castle should stand part of schedule A. Mr. KNIGHT said, lhat up to last night he hu'd fully intended to have divided the committee upon this question, but in consequence of the proceedings this day, and the decision last night of adhering lo the census of 1821, he should not persevere in his intention. He must, however, request the attention of the committee while he staled the case of the borough which he had the honour to represent. At fhe last election the burgesses polled were 190. There were besides these 200 sworn burgesses who were either non- resident, or in consequence of minority could not vote. Hie population of the borough and parish in 1821 was from 1800 lo 1900, and in 18S1 it exceeded 2000. He certainly should have divided the House upon Ibis borough were it not for Ihe decision lo which the committee came last night. It vvas not a nomination borough. If the noble lord denied this, he was willing to put the issue upon lhat point, and to demand enquiry upon it. That there was influence he did not deny, but it was lhat sort of influence Which residence and liberality and good offices naturally had, and he trusted ever would have, whether in a reformed or uureforined parliament. He should not divide ihe House; but he must enter his protest against the injustice of such a proceeding as that of dis- franchising this borough* and should reserve to himself the power of proposing upon some future occasion that Bishop's Castle should be placed in schedule B. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he believed it was only fn consequence of a system of bribery that Bishop's Castle returned a member hostile to the Bill. Mr. C'RESSETT PELHAM defended the borough of Bishop's Castle, which he thought was very unjustly dealt with. The Bill now before the House did not propose to confer any boon on Shropshire, except that of giving it two additional county members ;' but if Bishop's Castle were to be disfranchised, they would lose the two in one way, which they gained in the other. He denied that Bishop's Castle vvas influenced by the corrupt practices of any man, and expressed his opinion that the virtues of the noble Peer who was said to have the power of nomination, made him reign in the hearts, and nbt in thc pockets of the inhabit- ants. Mr. ROGERS, as one of the members for Bishop's Castle, said he must deny that it was a nomination borough. He came into that House as independently as the noble lord ( John Russell) or any of his honour, able friends near him. A noble Peer alluded to Certainly possessed such influence as conduct lilie bis must always sciifre— that species of influence which he understood to be iii ifoison with even the principle of the proposed bill. The noble lord had charged the borough with bribery at tbe last election. Where were tbe proofs of it? There had, in fact, been but one attempt of the kind, and that was made in 1821 by a Whig gentleman, who was afterwards unseated hy petition. It was not in the power of the noble lord to mention another instance of thc kind. But supposing it had been so, did the noble lord mean to • say that bribery was to be the test of disfranchise rrient? If so, lie called on him to place in schedule A the boroughs of Evesham, Stafford, Liverpool, and all those where bribery had taken place. If he did not do so, then let him withdraw his articles of im- peachment against Bishop's Castle. Mr. KNIGHT said it was hard for gentlemen at that side of the House to know how to act. If they felt it their duty to go to a division, they were styled factious by the noble lord, and were said to have no other object ( ban to retaid and obstruct the measure. If they avoided going to a division, and consented to any particular proposition for the sake of argument, they were met with vague and general vituperation. He would ask whether the charge of bribery and corruption, which had been made by the noble lord, was material or immaterial to the case now before the committee. If it was immaterial, what right had the noble lord to make tile accusation? And if it were material he de- manded the proof. In short, did Ihe noble lord proceed upon bribery and corruption as the ground of Ihe disfranchisement of this borourrh, or did he liol ? If he did, then he ( Mr. Knight) was entitled, ou every principle of reason and justice, to demand proof of the accusation, and he should be quite ready to meet the noble lord and the bribes of his reforming friends. But the fact was, that nothing was considered out of place in attempting to justify this measure. When its supporters were driven out of nomination,' they fell upon population ; — when they were driven oaf of population they fell upon nomination ;— and when deprived of both grounds they bad recourse to bribery, and to vague and unfounded insinuations. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he only endeavoured to show that this case came within thc general rule, lie did not enter into the charge of bribery al Ihe last election, though many particulars had been communicated to him which were not perhaps capable of proof. llis only object was to put the house on their guard against the general allegation of purity made by Ihe honourable and learned gentleman. If they were put under the necessity of proving bribery or nomination in every case, they never would have done ; the Reform Bill would become something like a suit in Chancery, and might be protracted ten or twelve years. It was to avoid this delay and difficulty that they look a fixed line. As the hon. and learned gentleman did not propose lo divide, he coald bave no objection to bis pronouncing a funeral oration on the obsequies of this borough. The question that Bishop's Castle should stand disfranchised was then put and carried. Mr. BARINO said lhat lie was all his life a re- former, though not to the extent contemplated by tbe present bill. He had voted for the extension of the franchise to Ihe large towns, for opening the representation of Scotland ; and so far he could not be considered as no reformer since March last He knew well the opinions of the great majority of the present cabinet to be in favour of reform, but not of that violent alteration which was now to be forced upon Ihem. It was too much to charge as bigoted and ignorant upon this subject those persons who agreed with tbe present government only ten years ago. He should not, however, take out a ticket in the lottery of constitutions, and then get the best he could ; and such an opinion he knew to have been entertained a few years ago by a noble lord ( Lord J. Russell), who had written and spoken more ably upon Ibis subject than perhaps any other member in this house. He did not deny that Ibe present state of the representation might be better; but while they might agree to that principle, let them not 1 > se sight of the manner in which it was recommended by the Crown, that that improvement should take place which was lo be in strict conformity to the principles of the constitu- tion as it now existed. He firmly believed that a monarchy such as ours cofild not co- exist with the extension of voters, which would take place if this bill were to pass into a law. Look at the present slate of France, with their HouSe of Peers, which was now about to be extinguished ill consequence of tl\ e alteration in the constitution, although the number of voters for deputies was only 250,000 out of a population of 32,000,009. He thought Ihey were embarking ill this country upon a sea of adventure in supporting a measure of reform, of whose evil consequences no one conl^ d form any- thing like au adequate calculation'. The proposed new constitution might be a very good one, but no where could he find iu history an account of any similar constitution ; and of this he was satisfied, that it could never work with security to Ihe British people. It was stated at Norwich . by ail hon. member ( Mr. R. Grant) to his constituents, that one half of the members in this house were returned by the proprietors of the boroughs; and if that were so, which he would only suppose for the present, then see what a wholesale alteration would be made in the constitution of this house by that very Reform Bill, of which Ihe hon. member was so strenuous a supporter. It appeared to him ( Mr. Baring) as if the people at the late elections had been told that their hands were lied up, upon which they cried out " Oil loose my hand, or else you'll endanger the liberty and prosperity of the country." Be it so. But what did that not lead to? Did it not lead to serious disturbances? Would it not lead to further ? Would it not endanger the very existence of popular rights, properly under- stood? Ati'd,' Ultimately, might it not lead to thc disturbance of the rights belonging to the peers? The people undoubtedly had a right to power, but only to such a measure and extent as would be lo their own interests ; but not to the extent of tear- ing down the fabric which was the general pro- tector of properly to pieces, as children destroyed their playthings, of whose use or value they knew nothing. Tliut the popular feeling had very great influence in returning members to that house could not be doubted. If any one could doubt, he could only say, look round these benches— Si monumeutum ( jueris circumspice. The existence of boroughs, however much deciied, had a beneficial influence, for they mitigated the democratic power; and he had no doubt it' might yet be found that an honest man could vote in favour of the Crown though not with thc people, as it might be found that au honest Chancellor of the Exchequer could, after finding his plans or measures defeated, manfully relfact them and admit his error.' He hoped when the new constitution should be agreed to that the noble lord ( Lord Alt'borp) would find lhat he could do his duty as well by fhe Crown and ihe people as he had been able lo do nnder lhat constitution under which their ancestor^ hud lived for so many generations with happiness, and the full enjoy ment of rational and genuine liberty. He sincerely inspected Ihe noble lord, for be really believed the noble lord to mean Well and honestly towards his country. But he ( Mr. B.) at* the same time doubled very much if, after the new system of representation rotten boroughs were represented hy independent persons, ready. to promote what they considered the interests of the country. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said he could not allow that independent feeling had been first expressed in these boroughs. Sir C. WI THI. RF. rx observed that this borough must be buried in a particular way. It formed a case of felo de se; and although funeral honours had been mentioned by the noble lord who was member for Bletchingley, this borough must be buried in cross roads. ( Laughter.) The member for Camelford ought to attend and drive a stake through it. There should be some frail memorial to induce persons as they passed to cry," Fie, fie! on suicidal Camelford." Lord J. RUSSEI. L thought the epitaph should be " Died for the good of the country." Mr. MlI. LLANK jocosely observed that in passing through Boroughbridge he had been told that the disfranchisement of that borough and the succcss of the Reform Rill, would cause the death of the poor old gentjenJan ( Sir C. Wethercll). The disfranchisement of Camelforel was Carried, as also the disfranchisement of Castle Rising and Corfe Castle— The House then adjourned. was put in practice, the democratic principle would not prevail to so alarming an extent, that. before the sun rose to- morrow they might not have com- mittees elsewhere sitting in judgment upon their votes of this evening. The influence of property he considered to be a conservative principle against a democracy, and with that view he had opposed the disfranchisement of those boroughs which had so long existed, and he would contend had existed for the general good. As an individual he never trafficked in boroughs, and he could safely say that never iu his life had he paid a single sixpence for a vote. What danger, he would ask, had resulted from the existence of boroughs ? Was it that some merchant, some gentleman of fortune from the East or West Indies, knowing well and feeling deeply interested iu the general prosperity of England and her colonies— that gentlemen capable of imparting great knowledge on important subjects, should by the means of such boroughs find their way into this house ? He ventured fo say that he had the interest of the country as much at heart as any of those gentlemen who might for Ihe future be going among the ten- pouud householders, soliciting their voles, exaggerating any of the difficulties which really existed, holding out promises which they never could perform, ami, in a word, using every species of cant and hypocrisy to gain " the sweet voices" of the multitude. He did not mean to say that all populai elections were bottomed in cor- ruption; far from it. Take London for example, where Ihe new right of voting would very consider- ably increase the number of voters. Buf, on the other hand, take Liverpool, the election for which was one mass of corruption, and at which more money was expended on a recent memorable oc- casion than up On all the voters of burgage tenures for the last twenty years. He had no intention of now going iulo the general question. But he would just remind the house of Mr. Canning's argument against reform. He said " that a wild spirit, and still wilder theories, were abroad," and that Ihe only chance of safety for this country was " to cling round their existing institutions." The present ministers, however, now saw that change was every where abroad, and they could not rest satisfied until they bad also introduced it at home. Now one or Ibe other of these two courses could not be right, although upon which was not right he would nut now pronounce an opinion. He was ready to make any safe, cha'nges; in our institutions which might be necessary, but even these with great fear and doubt as to their efficacy in working well. But now- a- days the virtues which were most prized in statesmen— such as temperance, caution, and wise delay— had been only considered as the proof of weak and irresolute minds. The only reform which he remembered to havie pro- duced any good result was the " bil- by- bit"' reform, as it was called, which the right hnnourabJe'. bBrone! ( Sir Robert Peel)' had so wisely introduced into our Criminal Code, while great promises were made in other quarters, and yef nothing whatsoever had been done. He had no objection to give members to large towns, but at this period of general con- fusion in the world Ihe present change in our insti- tutions should not be allowed to take place. The great feeling he had found amongst the people wherever he went was that this bill came from the Crown ; and though iu many cases they expressed doubts, and in others suspicions of its dangerous tendency, yet the feeling that it came recommended from the Crown induced them to think it could not be dangerous. When the Crown listened to the fatal advice of democracy, and he would say radical- ism— flic sober and intermediate class of the people would have reason for considerable apprehension. It was said by an honourable member ( Mr. J Smith) When first this bill was introduced, that " it almost took away his breath ;" but he ( Mr. Baring) vvas sure that if it included vole by ballot and annual parliaments, it would meet with as much support as it now did, it having been so studiously reported that it bad the sanction of the Crown, in stating these opiiiionshe Was acting conscientiously, and, as he conceived, for the best interests of the country. The boroughs of Bletehingley, Boroughbridge, both burgage- tenure boroughs, and of course being in tbe same situation now as when first enfranchised, were next brought forward.— Sir C'IIARLES WE- THERELL said, the burgage tenure was originally such as to give the power of nomination, and so it now remained; the proprietor of those burgage tenures having always had the power of dividing and snbdividing them so as to multiply the voters at his will.— The pretence setup by the bill, that it was a restoration of the constitution, could not, therefore, apply to these boroughs ; for they were now what they had always been, and their lights had always been recognized as constitutional. Mr. ATTWOOD protested against the disfranchise- of Boroughbridge. Thc electors of that borough had been tainted by no crime, convicted of no abuse, and he denied the right of parliament to take away the franchise. The injustice of the act would rest on ministers. The question being put respectively for the dis- franchisement of Bletchingly and Boroughbr. idge, it was carried as to both.— The disfranchisement of Bussiney, Brackley, Bramber, and Callington was also carried. Camelford came next under consideration. Mr. MILBANK said it was not bis intention to con- tend that Camelford ought to be taken out of schedule A. The country demanded the sacrifice of that borough, and himself and colleague voluntarily gave it up to Ihe country. Sir RORERT PEEL said the devotion of the hon. members for Camelford furnished a proof that those FRANCE. A letter dated Paris, July 16, says, in reference to the financial state of lhat country,—" At length the minister has published his six months' account of receipts, and, as I told you would be the ease, there is a great deficiency. I knew this a fortnight since, and announced it to you a week ago. In the article of stamps, registering of property, transfers, Sic. there has been a falling off of five millions of francs as compared with Ihe first six months of the year 1829, and eight millions as compared with the same period in 1830. In navigation, customs, & c. a falling off of four and a half millions as compared with 1829; and nine and a half millions ascompared with 1830. On Excise duties on wines, a diminu- tion of twenty millions as compared with 1829; and twenty- one millions as compared with 1830. The diminution is partly to be attributed to the decrease in the amount of the excise tax levied by law during the last six months; but this decrease will not account for so large a diminution. Because, why Was the tax decreased? Because its large amount prevented consumption. Then of course the diminution of the tax increased Ihe consump- tion, and that to a very considerable extent. It is not, therefore, fair to say that the falling off in the amount of excise duty is to be wholly attributed to the diminution In the duty itself. It may account for a small portion, but certainly not for 21 millions of francs in six months. So again the indirect taxes on carriages, & c, have fallen off nearly 3; millions as compared with the same period of 1829, and nearly four millions as compared with 1830. The lottery also, which is a sign, when flourishing, of the abundance of money and employment among Ihe poor, has fallen off 3^ millions as compared with 1829, and nearly 3j millions as compared with 1830. The total diminution on the receipts as compared with 1826 is 33^ millions, and as com- pared with 1830 is 44,077,000. The government, however, insists that from this deficiency 16 millions shall be deducted on account of the diminution of the excise duty, I have already shown you lhat this is an error," since increased' consumption is nearly equal to diminished duty. However, as we live in strange times,' let us consent to make a diminution of eight millions on this account from the deficiency, and still a deficit of 86 millions remains, as compared with the same period of 1830; and this deficiency would have b'een still greater by nearly a million, but for the increased amount of the postage of letters, in consequence of the es- tablishment of deliveries of letters in 4,000 com- munes, where letters were formerly rarely delivered. This measui'e has been only ill operation tbe last six months, though the work of the Martignac and Polignac administrations, and is therefore a sort of new tax, which makes the deficiency on the re- ceipts greater as compared with those years when this improved post- office system did not exist. On the whole then the account is a very bad one, and is calculated to excite apprehension and alarm. New taxes are impossible, new loans will depress funded property, and diminished expenees are out of the question, until a general disarming shall take place in Europe, of which there is no prospcctat present." TIMBER DUTIES. Extract of a letter dated Quebec, June 16, 1S31: " Some vessels have arrived in twenty- five days from England ; and both this port and Montreal are full of ships, and in the greatest slate of activity, in the short period since the opening of our navigation, only seven weeks, the arrivals are 441 vessels, 117,290 tons, bringing the astonishing number of 27,310 cmi grants adults ; besides young children— against 310 vessels, 83,100 tons, 9,900 emigrants, at tbe same period last year. It may be expected that 50,000 emigrants will arrive this year. It is a most astonish- ng fact that fhe number of helpless persons left iu this city is very small in proportion. The Scotch settlers are generally steady men, with some means to locate themselves, of which they prudently take advantage. The Irish emigrants are for the greater part Protes- tant, who have been glad to " clear out," and avoid the party conflicts of their native country. Besides these direct arrivals, parties are constantly crossing over to us from the United States. " Surely, when the astonishing employment of British shipping in these colonies is considered, und the equally astonishing number of emigrants lhat resort to us from the United Kingdom, his . Majesty's ministers can never contemplate bringing into jeo- pardy, still less the destruction of the colonial lumber trade, which is the leal support of Ibis immense traffic. " In thc present state of superabundant population of Great Britain, the easy expense of reaching, and fhe easy settlement of emigrants, is a matter worthy the most serious consideration of parliament. It is considered that Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia receive this year 65,000 emigrants, of which two thirds or 44,000 were paupers at home ; the ex- pense of keeping these latter, which cannot be less than 5s. per week, would be £ 572,000 per anniim ; a serious addition to, or a very desirable reduction from, your poor- rates, which, at sixteen years' purchase, is equal to a capital of £ 9,152,000 ! This is Ihe way in which Sir Henry Parnell has calculated thc cost of the Camillas to the country, and the same in which Mr. Bliss has ably replied to him in his excellent pamphlet on the Timber Duties. It appears to me to be a very fair and unanswerable argument. But besides this number of adults, a host of children should be added. Again, so soon as they have been located one year, they become consumers of * British' manufactures, to the extent of 30s. each, or £ 97,500 per annum. '• This argument admits of being carried to result that would surprise those who are unac- customed to sucb calculations. I merely give you the bint in tbe present instance. 11 On the 15th instant we experienced a heavy gale of wind, which has broken up a great many rafts of timber on their way down. The river is covered with loose timber, & c." The above letter, with the practical inferences it contains, we nre satisfied will have its due weight with independent members of parliament, and the public generally, and therefore for the present we offer no comments of our own upon the subject to which it refers. iHtsccUaitcouo UntcIIijfcncc.

THE ENGLISH AND THE FRENCH ARISTOCRACY • CONTRASTED.—" I do not hesitate to say," observes the traveller, speaking of Stowe, " that we have nothing in France on such a scale as this : we understand the toils anel pleasures of a town life better : our Parisian banquetings have more of grace, and poetry, and elegance; and the fine arts feel more at their ease in our saloons than at London routes. But Englishmen, when in the conntry* and on their estates, leave our countrymen far indeed behind them. They have taken a just and ad- mirable view of what constitutes a country life and a landholder's true existence ; their whole pride and glory centres in living nobly where their fathers dwelt before them; and the influence and patronage they dispense is a blessing to the district they inhabit, during eight months of the year. We are ashamed lo confess that, in France, there is such an abhorrence of every thing which savours of superiority, that a large landholder, though he might rival a Buckingham or a Grosvenor in ex- pense, is excluded altogether from the exalted influence which marks the provincial career of those noble houses. What would be said under our sky, if a French peer, returning to his seat from the tumult of parliamentary debate, were to hoist his armi^ ial banners on the family pinnacle, as a signal of his arrival, and by way of announcing lhat he was about to keep open house for the season ? The cry of feudal pride would instantly din in his ears'. On fhe classic soil of liberty, the usages of yore are yet a matter of conventional acceptation. The good sense of the English has found out that equality is a chimera, and they have exiled ils inanities from their laws and customs. The radical, it is true, grumbles at such a state of things ; but the aris- tocracy may laugh his barkings to scorn. Its roots are deeply implanted in the very soil, and no British sovereign will ever allow violence lo the privileges of his nobility; for they are the strong foundation on which the throne itself is based. The plain country gentleman, bent on suffering no inroad to be perpetrated on a constitution which is the bul- wark of his own rights, shrinks from undermining its corner- stone, and lends no ear to the voice of levellers. He feels, therefore, neither hatred or humiliation at a social superiority, which is as necessary as it is beneficial to him. He takes part in the splendid doings at the noble mansion, at its long dinners, and the gay hunting parties led by bis powerful neighbour. Nor is the humble coun- tryman of envious mood : his well- being originates with the lord of the manor; and his trim cottage, and his neat and thriving farm— to whom does he stand indebted for them? Look at the air of ease that reigns arouud you. If the mansiou be ap- parelled with magnificence, some portion of it has reached the humble cabin; for that cabin has also its splendours— comfort and cleanliness."— Viscount Walsh's Letters on England. A female itinerant vender of rare and valuable commodities for female attire, more particularly foreign shawls and laec, has been very successful in her impositions on the credulity of many in this county. In several instances she sold shawls for £ 4 and £ 5 each, which can be purchased in any respectable shop for 7s. and 10s. She professed to be a French woman, speaks the language fluently, and affects not to understand English. A very little consideration would have told this woman's dupes that thc safest, best, and really cheapest place to procure such articles, would be the shop of the respectable tradesman, whose judgment would insure a good article, and whose character would form a certain safeguard against imposition.— Hereford Journal. PATENT BREAD.— A discovery has recently been made in the baking of bread, which promises important consequences. The process, for which Mr. Hicks, of Wimpole- street, has obtained a patent, may be briefly described as follows. His oven is made of iron, of a cylindrical form, so constructed as to be hermetically sealed. The fuel is placed on a plate, which is kept revolving in a circle, under the oven ; by which means the heat is supplied at the smallest expense of fuel. The temperature within the oven is indicated by a thermometer, according to which tbe application of the fuel is regulated. When the thermometer has reached about 300 degrees, the oven is charged ; and then, by a simple process, the door is closed and made air- tight. In a quarter of an hour, the vapour, which is evolved from the dough, passes through a small aperture in the top of the oven, which com- municates with a still, and thus undergoes the process of distillation. The only care required is, not to raise the temperature much above 300 degrees. When the alcohol ceases to drop, it is a sure sign fhat Ihe bread is sufficiently baked. The time to complete a batch is about an hour and three quarters. Each quartern loaf produces about an ounce of proof spirit. The advantages of this in- vention are many and obvious. The bread is purified, and rendered of superior quality, by the expulsion, in vapour, of all Ihe matter which, when allowed to remain, renders it acid and unwhole- some ; and this very matter is converted into alcohol, in such quantity as fo be an object of im- portance. Bread baked in this way, after beiug kept a week, is more moist and fresher than bread baked by the present process only two days old. We are informed that a company, for the baking of bread, uuder Mr. Ilicks's patent, is to be imme- diately established, and to be culled the Metropolitan Bread Company. CAUTION TO PARENTS.— Mr. Professor Davy, in a letter to the Secretary of the Dublin Society, says— " Last evening I observed in a little child's hand some white peppermint sugar drops, having bright red spots on them. Suspecting they were coloured with a substance improper for children, 1 was induced to examine them, and I found that their colouring mat- ter is red lead. These drops are, I understand, com- monly sold in our streets on slips of paper. As the combinations of lead are known to be poisonous, anel the habitual use of peppermint drops, containing red lead, may lay the foundation of inveterate diseases in children, such a pernicious application of this pig- ment, ought, of course to be made known to the public, and, if possible, prevented," On Saturday information was received at the London police offices of the commission of a very daring and extensive robbery at the house of Mr. Mark Baker, of the Mulberry Tree Tavern, Strat- ford- upon- Avon, on the 12th inst. It appears that the tavern was visited on thc above day by the Lon- don " Fancy," attracted by the fight between Ward and Byrne, at Stony Stratford, who committed several daring robberies, and must have netted a large booty. Mr. Baker's house was amongst others visitedby the " swell mob,' who broke into his bed- room by picking tbe lock, and, after obtaining ad- mission, burst open the drawers, which they plunder- ed of £ 280 in gold, silver, and bills, but mostly in the former, together with a silver watch wiih golei seals and key, valued at £ 20; a dozen silver tea- spoons, marked " P. B.'' and a pair razors mounted with silver studs, in a morocco box The robbery w- as not discovered until some hours after the thieves had left the house, and were on their way to the metropolis. Sir Richard Vyvyan, Bart, ex- member for Corn- wall, was returned on Thursday for the borough of Okehampton. OAK TREES.— The most valuable variety of the common oak is said to be the Qutrcus pcdunculata, or the stalk- fruited ; by some considered a distinct species. It is distinguished from Q. robur, by the marked circumstance of the acorns being placed on long fruit stalks, whilst those of the robur are nearly sessile. Besides, the superior utility and hardiness of the timber, the pedunculated oak is, in fact, the most magnificent of the two British sorts. Professor Martyn observes, that Ihe figures in ancient authors have the fruit uniformly on foot- stalks, which shows that that variety bad been most common: and Ray considers it as the common oak of England. Du Roi affirms that the sessile- fruited is reddish and brittle, whilst that of the stalk- fruited is whitish and hard. From these and various other accounts, it may be usefully recommended to nurserymen and others, who gather acorns for seeds, to take effectual pre- cautions that only the stalked sort be gathered. The insects that inhabit the oak are the egger inoth and the small gnat. The larva; of the first ( the I'halena Quercus of Linnaeus, and Lasiocampo of Leach) sometimes denude entire branches. Tbe small gnat, the Cynips Quercus folii of Linnaeus, and Diplalepis of Leach, pierces the leaves with its sting, and deposits its egg in the wound ; the exlravasated juices rise around it, and form a gall, the oak apple, which becomes hard, and in this the larva lives and feeds, and changes to a pupa. The oak galls of com- merce are so formed, the best of which are imported from Turkey and Greece.— Savage's History of Car- harnpton. COURT OF CHANCERY.— TUESDAY. MR. WELLESLEY'S CASE. Soon afier the Lord Chancellor took his seat this morning, his secretary handed a paper up to his lordship, which, we understood, was a message from the Speaker of the House of Commons, com- municating the appointment of a Committee of Privileges to investigate the singular case of Mr. Wellesley. After perusing the note the Lord Chancellor, With considerable emphasis, said " The House of Commons may have Ihe power to shut the doors of this court, but they have not the power to demand my prisoner. Mr. Wellesley is now in Ihe custody of my officer, the Serjeant ut Arms, for a contempt of court, which he himself confessed iu my preseuce ; and while the existing laws continue ill force, in lhat custody he shall remain until he has purged himself of lhat contempt. This, it ought to be known, was not a civil but acrimina! proceeding ; and I am sure thi Houjie of Commons will take those steps that are most becoming its own dignity ' and most in accordance with the laws of the land. I repeat, however, that no consideration will induce me to give Mr. Wellesley up, until he shall have purged himself of his contempt ; but I bave no objection for Mr. Butt, my Serjeant at Arms, to attend the Committee of Privileges now sitting." CORONATION.— In the House of Commons, on Monday, Mr. Briscoe made some inquiries as to the probable expences of the approaching coronation, and the cost of the last coronation. Lord Allhorp stated that it would be conducted in the most economical manner possible ; that no expense would be incurred Without estimates having been previously forwarded to the Treasury— that llie expense of the last coronation was enormoujs— that the expense of the approaching coronation wouhl not be oue- fifth of the outlay incurred by the former ceremony, but that he could not now state what the expense might be, as all llie estimates were not yet delivered. Dr. Bell, in addition to his munificent bequests, has announced his intention of endowing a professorship of ecclesiastical history in Edinburgh, for the use of students for the episcopal church iu Scotland and thc colonies. At the close of the late Old Bailey Sessions, the Court pronounced sentence of death on tweuty- eiglit persons, three of these were condemned for stabbing Police- men ; one was the Stamp Office clerk, Smith, convicted last Sessions of removing stamps from cancelled instruments, and affixing them to others; the rest were chiefly for stealing in dwelling- houses— there were three women among the latter. Sixteen were condemned to transporta- tion for life, fifteen for fourteen years, aud sixty- two, of whom seventeen were women, for seven years. The exportations of the precious metals liavo recently been carried on to a very large amount. The shipments, it is said, are principally intended to pay for purchases of foreign grain, a large quantity of which will be imported into this coun- try during tbe present year. The shipments of wheal, & c. from the Baltic ports for this country, will be very large, although the stock of foreign corn in bond in the port of London is very consider* able. DOMESTIC COMFORT OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND. — That which peculiarly strikes a stranger on his arrival in England, is thc arrangement incidental to every dwelling ; it is evident that those who tenant it reckon on remaining under its roof. Look at the care they take lo surround themselves with the cheerful, the agreeable, and the convenient; look at the fondneSs with which they respect yon ancient trees, which bave lent their shade to the owner's ancestor's, and shall yet afford shelter to their children's sports ! In France, we encamp rather than take root in Ihe soil; it may be said of us, that we are always on our legs, as if ready for a forward movement: but, in England, men take heir seats and pillow themselves in comfort. I am well aware lhat, in the end, Ihe Frenchman and tbe Englishman arrive at the same goal; but life is all the better for the ease which has accompanied our journey through it.— Viscount IValsh's Letters on England. DESPERATE CASE OF HOUSE- BREAKING.— A most desperate case of house- breaking took place in the residence of Mr. Molineux, of Cheelham, on Wednesday. Mr. Molineux was awakened about three in the morning by a noise in the lower part of the bouse. He got up, provided himself with ai loaded pistol, and proceeded down stairs. He- there found the back door open, and observed a mail making his escape; he pursued the fellow, who, however, outstripped hiin, upon which Mr. Molineux returned to his house. On entering the sitting- room he heard a noise behind Ihe door, on which he exclaimed, " Come out, you rascals, or I'll shoot you." Upon this a man made his appearance, and said he would remain if he would not shoot him. Being asked respecting the man who had eseaped, he disclaimed all knowledge of him, and declared there were no more thieves in the house. The other inmates being alarmed, a light was procured by the servant, who was proceeding with it into the sitting- room, w hen she suddenly returned and exclaimed that there was another man in the room. At this moment a man presented himself at the door, upon which Mr. Moiineux fired, and the man seemed to stagger back into the room. In a moment, however, and while Mr. Molineux was- engaged with bis prisoner, Ihe man rushed past him and made his escape. On examining the room, Mr. Molineux discovered that a cupboard, in which a quantity of silver plate had been deposited, waa broken open, but the man lie had secured denied having taken any thing. A constable was then sent for, who searched the prisoner, when several articles belonging to Mr. Molineux were found on him. His natfie is William Riley, aud he is about 20.— Manchester Courier. A London Temperance Society has just been established to prevent the pernicious habit of dram- drinking. A meeting took place at Exeter Hall on Wednesday, at which it was resolved, " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the unhappy propensity to drinking ardent spirits is one of the chief causes of the pauperism, disease, and crime that prevail in this country."— Resolutions, in furtherance of the object, were unanimously agreed ( o. By the coroner's return to the present quarter sessions it appeared that 39 men and women in this town and thc immediate neighbourhood have died, within the last quarter, from the effects of drinking ardent spirits; and that four cartcrs have lost their lives hy careless driving upon the road, when in a stale of intoxication.— Manchester Courier. Wednesday morning, a fire broke out in the nialf- house of Mr. Tozer, at Ashburton, Devon. From thence extending to his extensive drying- lofts, in which were upwards of 1000 pieces of serge, it destroyed property to the amount of £ 4000; the greatest part of which was, however, insured. In boring for water at Castle Rising, near Lynn, in Norfolk, a part of the coast on which the sea lias been for many years progressively encroaching, at the. depth of 600 feet, several horns were found, supposed to he those of the unicorn ; they were straight, about two teet in length, and one inch in circumference, and hollow, the medullary substance being petrified. At 640 feet numerous oysters were found ; the shells were half open. At tbe depth of 660 feet a large oak tree was met with; it was quite black, and its texture extremely hard.
