JOHN ROGERS. was indicted for the manslaughter of William Goodall, at the parish of Poiitesbury. Jt appeared from the testimony of two of the witnesses ( Ann Davies aud Jolm Janies) lhat i. h « deceased aud John Rogers, wilh other work, people, - went to the Red Lion public- house, Pontesbur. y, . Oil Saturday, the 21st of May last ( where they were usually paid), to receive their wages; after which, William Goodall and John Rogers remained drinking together till between 10 aud 11 o'clock at night, when a quarrel arose between them, iu consequence of Rogers charging Goodall with not paying hi* share of the shot. Goodall, on being asked lo pay hi* part, got up from his seat wiih a slick in his hand, and shook aud vapoured with il in Rogers's face, on. which Rogers fetched him a blow and knocked him, over his chair, when he fell with the back of his head against a table. He was helped up by John James, nnd put to sit on his chair. No medical assistance \ va » sent for, as he did not appear to be much hurt at ihe; time. Goodall getting worse, Mr. William Edd^ nvtfx, sistant surgeon lo Mr. Glover, of Longden, Was lulled in on the 20lh of May ; he stated that he found Goodall insensible; his head was very much swollen, aud t here was a wound at the back part of it ; he died ii about ten minutes after w itness saw- him, Mr. S. Glover, surgeon, Longdeu, took a post mortem examination of the unfortunate muii on the 27tli of May; he found a contused wound al the back of ihe head. Witness also opened the head, when he saw it great quantity of extrnvasated blood just opposite the wound ; the extravasated blood was between the mem- brane of the brain and the skull, which blood lie ( witness) belived produced compression of the braiu and subsequent death. In answ er to a question from the Learned Judge, the! witness said, in his opinion the exiravasated blood was caused by the external violence ofthe CQUcussion^ Cross- examined, witness stated that if an operation had taken place ou the head of Goodall immediately after the blow, life might have been Saved'. The prisoner was found guilty; but it appearing that this unfortunate occurrence caused his wife's premature labour and ultimate death, and on account of the excellent character he received from several very respectable persons, he was sentenced lo be imprisoned only 14 days. The Grand Jury appearing in Court at this time with Bills, Mr. Justice. Park took an opportunity of staling to them, lhat a case of manslaughter had ] ust been tried; in which it appeared the death of the unfor- tunate man was caused at a public- house, where he and other workmen had been receiving their wages. His Lordship then deprecated the system of paying men in public. houses, and said 4* it is a crying against the nation ;" for it frequeritly caused men ti> spend great part of their earnings, whereby their families were injured, and it was, to say the least, u temptation to indulge in acts of drunkenness, and. ultimately led to vice of every description. He said he was sorry he had not alluded to it in his Charge; but was not awaie there was any case of that nature in the Calendar. However, he hoped the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury would draw their attention to this subject, and endeavour to put an end to such a system. The Hon. Thomas Kenyon said his Lordship in- iy depend upon the practice receiving their besi con- sideration.

WILKINSON 0. PRICE. This was an action for breach of promise of irarriage. The plaititiff, Winifred Wilkinson, is a young woman, daughter of a person who occupies a small farm, and keeps a hauling team, in the parish of Bitterley, and the defendant, Mr. William Price, occupies a firm called Sheep Leasow, in the same parish.— It was proved by several witnesses, that tlie defendant had kept company with the plaintiff; and Mary Butcher, a Collier's wife, proved that ill her hearing the defendant had promised the plaintifflie would marry her.— On the cross examin- ation of the plaintiff's witnesses, they admitted that there were rumours in the vicinity prejudicial to the plaintiff's character; that her father had turned her out of his house, and, as he had alleged, for immoral con- duct; and that the plaintiff sometimes earned her living by weeding and doing other work for the neighbouring farmers at 7d. or Sd. per day.— It appeared further, however, lhat, whether the rumours anil statements prejudicial to the plaintiff's character were true or not, tliey were known to the defendant prior to his having promised her marriage, and a letter of Ilis was produced expressive of his regard for her, which was addressed to her in Staffordshire, in 1829, w here she had beeu sent by her father, who disapproved ofthe defendant's atten- tion to her, and in whicli the defendant alluded to these mnTotirs in fernis of reprobation.

The defendant in this case is a dealer in timber; and the present'action was brought to recover the balance tine from defendant for a quantity of timber and poles that he had purchased of the plaintiff.— The bargai t for, and sale of, the timber atid poles in question was very distinctly proved by William Thompson, the woodman of the. plaintiff; and the Jury immediately gave a verdict for the plaiptiff for £- 19. 7s. being the amount of balance claimed. RUSSELL r. FARMER. The plaintiff is ati attorney of great respectability in Ludlow;- the- defendant, Mr. Farmer, is an agriculturist in that vicinity.— In 1826, an execution and other pro- cesses were taken out against the defendant, for debts owing by his father; and he, conceiving these pro cesses against him to be illegal, employed Mr Russell to move the Court of King's Bench on the subject, and to do other business. Mr. Shipman, who had Iven 35 years in tlie plaintiff's office, proved that the defendant ( lad employed Mr. Russell as stated; that the bill of the plaintiff for such business amounted to £ 30 Os. 7d. and. that tiie defendant, in 1820, had paid £ 10on ac- count.— Mr. B-. Russell, a son of the plaintiff, proved that an account had been sent to the defendant in 1828. after which he had, by his father's direction, called upon the defendant, and requested ltiiri to pay a part at least of his father's demand, if he could not then con- veniently pay the whole; they drank a jug of ale to-: gether; and tbe defendant promised to call at liis father's office in Ludlow in a few weeks, and pay a part of the amount due, if not the whole. The defence setup was— that the plaintiff hid engaged £ 10, including what little I otfed yoft tjefor- e let it I done, for lWh now a. rtihjed man, aiid.' dortot Jtrislit involve mvself in further difficulties." Witness said, the plaintiff's reply to tlus. was, that although he was Willing to work for Mr. Farriier for nothing? hisj& ents in London would not; but that ho_( tb « pbtiotlta then engaged to do. aH the business . in the itsatttm. tM wtilcli Mr. W. Farmer wished to employ hinvfor Jfe-.^ IO, promising also to; give himf tts further, adry^ jH0' his then f -"- XR4t—* his cross fort arte of - , . spent, as also an additional sum. of £ 78 that had. si nee devolved to him ; that he had been studying, Jarming, when living with Mr. Farmer, hfti he had never held a plough nor taken hold of a pitchfork, haying employed himself in reading; that he had since lived on Jus pro- perly white lie had any ; that he had afterward! been a player, employed in the general business, of the stage", ttiitfasa prompter, in various parts of the provinces; and that he is now a canvasser for Mr. Verdi, the publisher, of London. i,. Mr. Campbell addressed the JtiVy for the plaintiff; and urged the tiller improbability of Mr. Russell en- gaging to do the legal business of the plaintiff for £ 10. When, on the verv day that payment was made, the chalges against, the defendant' for the business then done amounted to £ 13.17s. KM of which n « ire than £ 9 was money actually paid out'of pocket to the London agent. The" Jury, not being able fo ^ gree'ii'poti their veVdi'ct, retired from the box; and1 after being lotted up some time returned a verdict fof defendant. THOMAS AND ANOTHER >'• M'YTTO'S.

This was an action brought, to obtain uosseSsioti of certain premises mortgaged to the'plaintiff, who resitles at Clcobnry Moitimer, bv tl » defendant, who formerly lived at Neen Sollars.— The execution of the deeds of lease and release, & c. by the defehdant havinp bften proved, the Jury returned a verdict for plaintiff WOODWARD ' » : EVANS. This was an action for an alleged trespass : aiid the case 011 being entered into exhibited some very singular features.— It appeared that the parties reside in or near Cleohurv Mortimer; that many years ago a mender of ttie ancient family of Meysey had founded and ehdoW. ed a school near the town of ClCobury Mortimer-; that tbe last person who occupied the school houst and premises for the purpose intended by the founder Was, a clergyman named Story, after whose death, nS present- ation'to the school took place, and a female: rdatioh'of Mr. Story's, named Cooke, continued to Occupy the school- honse and premises ; the schoolrgreeft, with her permission, was converted into a timber- yard ; flic school- room afterwards became a carpenter's! Shop and a theatre, and has lately been converted by tile, defendant ( who succeetled his father) ittttv^ AweWlg house. On the death of Miss Cooke, the plaintiff, Mr. Woodward, took possession of the school- house, yard, and garden, stating that he did so on the recommenda- tion of the late Mr. Mevsey Wigley, of Shakenhnrst, until the right heir should claim them ; but he did not interfere with the parties who had got possession of the school- room and of the school- green.— Tile defendant, however, on sinking a cellar under the school- room, had wheeled the soil upon the school yard or green, so as to obstruct the plaintiff's road to the garden ; and for this alleged trespass the action was brought. , It having been intimated to tbe Learned Judge that there were proceedings now going forward in Chancery to restore the premises to their original purpose, as intended by the founder of the school, his Lordship said, it was very clear that none of the parties now before the Court had any right in the premises hut such ,1s an intrusive possession bad given them, and which the proceedings ill Chancery would very soon set aside. — He therefore recommended that a Juror should be withdrawn, the defendant undertaking to remove the obstruction: and thus leaving all parties in statu qvo until the Decree of the Court of Chancery shall issue, HUGHES v. MARSHALL AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case is Richard Charles Hughes, who keeps the Elephant and Castle Inn, Mardol, Shrewsbury; the defendants are Edward Marshall, William Davies, William Cureton, and Samuel Brom- ley, who were. sU[> poiters of Mr. Slanev in tlic con- tested election for the borough of Shrewsbury in 1S30; and the present action was brought to recover froth tlie defendants the sum of £ 23. 18s. 8d. for refreshments, & c. supplied to them, and by their order to other sup- porters of Mr. Slaney, ( luring that election.— The plaintiff had been paid £ 30. - 7s. 5d. by Mr. Nicholls, the Chairman of Mr. Slaney's Committee; but Mr. N. had refused to pay that part of the hill for which the plaintiff now brought his action against'the defendants.

Richard Asterley examined.— I am an attorney.—[ A paper was shewn to witness.]— The name Samuel Bromley attached to this paper is the handwriting of the defendant of that name; I bejieve the signature Edward Marshall to be the handwriting of the defend- ant of that rlame.— I had a conversation with the, defendant Bromley ahout this bill; lie said tiie liqnort Sc. had been had, and Mr. Hughes ought to be paid; The date attached to the portion of the account signed by the defendants as being correct, and as ordered by them, was August 4th, 1830, when the account wis made out ini their presence.

Under this, the defendant had seized about 30 strikes of malt, alleged to be worth £ 12. , Ips. a haul worth 8s. and a pony said to bfc worth £ 10'. It' Was proved that the defendant had caused the malt, & c. above- mentioned to be ' removed from the premises; and a witness named William Phillips deposed that lie saw the plaintiff tender to George Reftvef, the bailiff in possession for the defendant, on the 2d of April, feh sovereigns and. eight shillings in silver, being the ariionnt nf die' halt year's rent and the legal e'xpetiies of the distress:' he refused to take if;' and the article's distjained were removed to the Half Way Inn. On the part of the defendant, it was urged,- that there was no'ground'for theiallegation of excessive distress; and that the plaintiff bad received his mall, pony, and ham safely back, on the rent and expenses being after- wards paid. Tiie Learned Judge concurred as to this point, but said a legal tender of the rent and expenses had certainly been proved ; and the Jury returned a verdict for plaintiff— Damages ' 10s. EDWARDS v. BROXTON. This case, which had been made a remanet al the pre- ceding Assizes, was tried on Saturday last before Mr. Justice Pattesbn and a Special jury, composed of the following gentlemen:— Thomas Boycott, Esq. Thomas Beddoes, Esq. Robert Jenkins, Esq. John Whitehall Dod, Esq. H. D. Warter, Esq. j Rann Edwards, Esq. Edward Cludde, Esq, TALESMEN. Edward Bowen John Griflitlis John banner William Adams William Bluck. The'plaintiff in thisraSe is John Edwards, Eso. df Hampton Hall, in the'parisli of Worthen ;'• the defendant, Mr. Broxton, is the" octsfijjier of certain' glebe lands Called the Backbond Grounds, nea/ Haitiplotl Hall, which he rehts from the Rev. Philip Snlythe", the Rector of Worthen', dhe reM defendant in this actiortv The case, which occupied flip Critirt many hours, maybe very briefly stated.— The defendant,- as pro- prietor of the Backhouse G rounds, claiiMed'to have two ancient occupation roads to the same, namely, orie froth Worthen by Beech Hill, and through- the plaintiff's fold- yard, and a piece of land called Brick MeadoW ; and the other from Worthen up Crow Hill Lane',- and through lands of the plaintiff called Park LeUsow,- and Elm Barn Meadow, into the said Backhouse Grounds. • The plaintiff admitted that the defendant had a right of road up Beech Hill, and through his fold- yard, & c.; but denied that the defendant was entitled to an occupa- tion road from the Crow Hill Lane, through the Park Irfasow and Elm Barn Meadow, to the Backhouse Grounds. On going into the evidence, however, it appeared, both from the testimony of several of the plaintiff's witnesses, as also from those of the defendant, that the defendant was clearly entitled to two occupation roads. But the case turned upon a point arising out of the test'mony of one of the defendant's most aged witnesses, as well as that of the most aged'Witnesses produced by the plaintiff; for they distinctly proved, that, within the'r memory, the road ill Elm Bam Meadow had been diverted, and that although it liad for the last 40 or 50 years come from the BackhouseGrounds, direct through ihe Elm Barn Meadow at once into Park Leasow, and so to Crow Hill Lane; yet, within their memory, it had come from the Backhouse Grounds, into Elm Barn Meadow, from whence it turned into an adjoining piece called the New linings, and thence into Park Leasow, and that that had been the ancient direction. This point was unknown to the defendant; and he having pleaded an ancient road from the Backhouse Grounds, through Elm Barn Meadow, into Park . Leasow, without any mention of the New Tinings, the Learned Judge put it to the Jury whether they believed the ancient line had been proved to liave gone along the New Tinings, because, if they were of that opinion, although the defendant was entitled to two occupation roads, tlie plaintiff must have a verdict with nominal damages iu the present action, the defendant having erroneously claimed an ancient road in a direction vary- ing, as it appeared in evidence, from the line that the ancient road had really occupied. The Jury, after consulting a very short time, ex- pressed tlieir opinion, through their Foreman ( Mr. Boycott), that the ancient road hat! passed along the New Tinings; and found a verdict for plaintiff, with Is. damages. WATSON v. HUGHES & OTHERS. This was an action brought by George Watson, of the Original Pig and Whistle public- house, Liverpool, against the defendants, Richard Charles Hughes, of the Elephant and Castle Inn, Shrewsbury, David Williams, of the Bugle, and Margaret Emmanuel, of the King's Head, for instigating a lawless rabble to throw down the plaintiff's marquee, and destroy ' his property therein, on Shrewsbury Race Course, on- the 15th of September, 1829.— The defendant Hughes had compro- mised his share in the action by paying to the plaintiff a sum of money; and the defendant Emmanuel had suffered judgment by default.— Mr. Williams- refused ; fo compromise ; and the action as against him came on fc- r trial before Mr. Justice Park on Monday last. It will be recollected that several of the parties actually engaged in the demolition of the marquee, &- c . were indicted for that, offence, found guilty, and sen- tenced to various periods of imprisonment, at the Lent Assizes in 1830; on which occasion we gave adetail of the whole transaction as narrated in evidence. It was now proved, as on that occasion, that the plaintiff's booth had been thrown down and damaged, and his property destroyed ; and a mail named John Wheeler, a nailor, deposed that he was at the defend- ant's booth o t the Race Course, and heard the defendant Williams, on the morning of the 16th, complain that the Clerk of the Course should have permitted the plaintiff, atotalstranger, to erectaboolh; that Williams said it should be down before night; and that when the parties were pulling down the marquee, Williams stood at a little distance behind the booth, encouraging the parties, - saying—" Hurrah 1 Btavo ! down with it, -; 1 n » ?.. eonversavm. w. m ^ it_„ iTh(, re'was a ! t claw aboiU tins Ml; he stud liquorr]. g j/ e c, eA of ^ Cowse, stated that tile defendant, Williams, had complained of Watson being permitted to erect a booth ; aud a witness named Tlios. Jones said he saw the defendant Williams near the plaintiff's marquee during the time that several of the convicted parties were cutting it down ; he saw defend- ant move his hand, and the defendant spoke, but the witness could not distinguish what he said. Oil behalf of the defendant, Mr. Thomas Cooper, grocer, and several other witnesses, deposed that they vyere at Mr, Williams's booth at the time the plaintiff's inarquee was thrown down; lhat they saw Mr. stock, See. in the shop hi the Market- Square was seized on the 26lh of April, aud sold for £ 530, and the plain- tiff's business iu that shop was consequently entirely closed and destroyed. The grounds alleged for tills conduct oil the ptfrt of the defendants Were, that although the shop in the Mai- ket- Square was carried on in the name of. Miss Tombs, it was in reality the Shop of Andrew, who, contemplating the bankruptcy that afterwards took place, had put Miss Tombs into this shop, supplied it froin his own stock, and conspired with her to carry on the business with the view of defrauding his creditors. On the part of Miss Tombs, a great number of - witnesses w- ere produced, 1 whose evidence went to show that the'business was carried on bona fide by Miss Tombs on her ow n account. On behalf, of the defendants, several witnesses were /- examined;. witKJa' vie% " to" support the ease set up by thi- defendants, • 1 The Jury, after consulting for a short time, returned a verdict for plaintiff, with £ 600 damages. BROWN « SHUKER 8C OTHERS. This was an action to recover fhe'surii of £ l'f00 with interest, on a bond and mortgage given by the late Mr. Edwards, of Carreghova Half, to whose estate the wives of the three defendants, being his sisters and coheiresses, bad ( Succeeded. It was pleaded - as a defdne'e to this action that the late Mr. Edwards had no right to mortgage his esta'fe, with the exception of a small portion, the rest being a settled family estate; and the portion not ao settled was now- proved to be of the value of £ 486.— The Jury gave a verdict for plaintiff for £ 1266. BOWDEN n.. PUG IT & OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case is & journeyman carpenter at Newport, and the defendant is a master carpenter at the satfte place ; and the action was brought lo recover a compensation in damages for assaults alleged to have been conunitted- upon the plaintiff and his wife by the defendant, Mr. Pugh, and for illegally taking possession of his goods, X- c.— After hearing the case, the jury re- timed a verdict for the defendants. MOUNTNF. Y r. WATTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, • Charles Moimtiiey, formerly a butcher at Stone, against the defendant, Mr. John Walton^ proprietor ofthe Shrews- bury Chronicle, for a libel published in that paper, of and Concerning tne plaintiff. It appeared that in November, 1S28, the plaintiff had been taxen into custody in Shrewsbury Oil suspicion of having stoI. cn a horse; and that he was, after being examined before the' Magistrates in Staffordshire, re- leased froiq the charge. Ill the Chronicle of the 2Isf of November, 1828, the defendant had inserted a paragraph, giving an account of the plaintiff's being taken into custody, & c. This paragraph' ftaii headed " Horse- Stealer;" and the con- tents of this paragraph formed the ground of the present. action; which had been delayed by various proceedings in demurrtir, & c. in the Courts above. Mr. CAMPBKI I. addressed the Jury for the plaintiff; aiid to prove that the paragraph. in question applied to the' plaintiff, he called a Mr. William Tomlirison, who keeps a publicrhouse at Stone, and who stafed that the plaintiff had formerly lived with him as boots, & c. i that he afterw ards went apprentice to a butcher, and was subsequently a master- butcher at Stone, but where he was now he did not know: he had seen him in custody on the charge to which the paragraph forming the ground of the present action had alluded, aud hie had seen him after he was released from custody, but hail no conversation wiih- him on the subject. No other witness was called for the plaintiff. Mr. BATHER then very ably addressed the Jury for the defehda'nt; observing that he never yet had ad- dressed twelve. Shropshire Jurymen in a box without having a thirteenth auxiliary there, namely Common Sense; and he thought a very slight exercise of that quality would enable them to see the nature and motives of the present action. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for plaintiff, with One Farthing damages. Mr. Bather applied to the Learned Judge to certify, as . tb deprive the plaintiff of his costs; but this his Lordship declined doing. This case concluded about ten o'clock on Monday night, and terminated the business of the Assize. LONDON— SATURDAY. In ( he House of Lords yesterday, the ARCHBISHOP of CAWTRamiRr moved the second rending of his bill lo extend the privileges of au Act of Charles II. for the augmentation of ttnnll livings. The object of the Most Rev. Prelate is to authorise and legalise grants from colleges, hotp'tals, and lay Impropriators fit t i. purpose ; and his Grace slated that manv of the Col- leges were disposed to assign a portion of their estates lo increase lite livings in their patronage. The bill i « also intended lo give power to Rectors to assign, with the concurrence of Ihe patron nnd ordinary, part oflhe titlie fer the augmentation of chapelriet within their respective parishes. There were, the Most Rev. Prelate added, not much fewer than one thousand livings in the church under sixty pounds a year, and he kne~ w many instances in whicli llie provisions of Ihe bill would be applied ; lie felt justified therefore in staling that the measure must prove a very beneficial one.— The I. onn t- HANCITI. i. on expressed his entire approbation of ihe hill, and complimented the Most Her. Prelate on Ills continued attention to the affairs of the church.— The BISHOP nf l. oxnoN also declared his satisfaction with the bill, and with Ihe probability lhat there would hereafter lie instituted nn authentic inquiry into the revenues of Ihe church. He was persuaded lite church hod nothing to fear from inquiry, nud il was by means of such an inquiry only lhat 1111 end would he put lo the exaggerated statements which, however contra, dieted, were again revived from day today ; for on strict investigation it would lllrn out thai the revenue of llie church was not nearly one- third of that which its enemies allege it to possess. Another advantage was that the inquiry seemed a necessary groundwork of an improved distribution of ecclesiastical revenue, nod the correction nf those defects and anomalies w hich gradually found iheir way into ihe best institutions By n more equal distribution of ils revenues 1 lie church would be put upon a fooling of increased efficiency.— Tlie bill was then rend a second time and ordered for committal on Wednesday.

IMPORTANT CAUSE.— Two civil acfiops were tried , at ( lie last York Assizes, in which 11 person named Hungate claimed lo recover from Richard Oliver GaV- cnigue, Esq. of Parlington, near Tadcasieri, exlensiv*' estates of Ihe value of several thousands a. year, which Mr. Goscoigne received bytbe will of Ihe late Sir; Thomas Gascoigne, Bart. There were several points of law against the claim of Ihe plaintiff, one of. which 1 was thai liis grandfather ( according la ihe plaiotiffV case) was entitled to the estates, but allowed his claim tn rest without being brought forward for more than 50 years— a legal bar lo any future claim. But l^ e plaintiff, by a long train of evidence, including wills, inscriptions on tomb stones, nud in registers, and parole^ testimony, made il so slrnngly prnbable that he was, really the heir ot law of the original testa lor, ( a Sir; Francis Ilangnle, who was killed in the civil war ofi Charles I.) that ihe Jury found a verdict affirming' ifmt; fact. The legal objections are not vet decided. A » tiie present York Assizes Ibe same plaintiff has trieji an action lo reenrer from the same defeudnut oilier, estates of ihe value of £ 15( 1( 1 n- venr. Brit on this oc- casion ihe defendant has succeeded in inraliitaitnjHlie plaintiff's claim not only to these estates, but to' that* involved in Ihe former action, by disproving an> 9* en-,. lial part of the plaintiff's pedigree, amf showiug that' a William Hiiugate, from wlmin the plaintiff claimed ^ lo hare descended, died unmarried at Lonvain, in 1710. The will of this William Hiiugate was discovered in Ihe Prerogative Court only a few days since. Ifhii Jury found a verdict for Ihe defendant, and lh » plaintiff III us loses all chance of recovering any of the estates^ — adding another lo Ihe list of suitors who have exr. pended large sums in Chnucery ntul common law lis obtain immense possessions, with 110 other effect than - Ihe loss of what thev already possessed and fhf blighting of their elevated hopes.

This was. a case tried before Mr. Justice Patteson on Monday, and occupied the Court about seven hours.— Hhe ciwnnnstances may be very briefly stated. f, siH3lliam Andrew, of Mardftl, Shrewsbury, jneicei, wak gazetted as a bankrupt on the 15th of March last. ii& JFhe' plaintiff, Miss Susanna Tombs, is sister to A'ridttw's wi e, and from about August, 1S29, had, in. ller'own name, carried 011 a hosier's shop in the Market- . Square,-, continuing to board and : lodge with Mr. Andrew,' as she had done for about a year arid'half previous to her taking the shop in the Market Square. Mr. Phillips, one of the. defendants- in the present action, is a mercer in Shrewsbury, one of the assignees under the commission of bankrupt issued against Andrew; and it appealed in evidence that, under liis direction, as such assignee, the whole of the plaintiffs The French papers represent the affairs of the Poles as not quite so desperate as lliey appeared by former accounts. It is stated that tlie Polish Genernl " ChrziiIr- aki 011 Ihe 1 lis nit. withstood nn attack nt Minsk, five miles from Wnrsnw, from Rttdiger's corps, nod niter snme hard fighting succeeded in repelling ii, with a loss tn ihe enemy in killed and wounded of 3000 men, and 900 prisoners. The Russians, it is added, were compelled lo relrent, pursued by the Poles. This ad- vantage, however, does not nppenr to have prevented ihe main army from crossing the Vistula, and Ihe nexl ndvices may lie expected lo bring details of n general engagement. General Schrzynecki had joined Chrznn- ski, aud was operating with him against the Russians for two days subsequent to llie 14th, but ihe result does uol appear. A letter from Paris, dated 011 Saturday, gives the following particulars of Ihe operations of the French fleet in- the Tngus.

Among these last one ill- form'd pitches " Who griev'd to view materials richer, Harangued his friends of common clay, • Saving—" Those porcelain wares survey, " All gilt, superb, with various dyes, " Conspicuous meet the admirer's eyes ; Whilst we cond'emn'd to vile$ t uses, " Tamely submit t, a all abuses ; " Courage, my friends, for what arc tb?: f 44 But like ourselves, J'orm'd out of clay ; " Tliey even want our own solidity, ^ " Whilst we submit with dull stupidity ; " Let us resolve to shew our Spirit, 44 And prove we have superior merit ; " To join with me you can't refuse, TVe've all to gain, and ? iought to'lose." This wild harangue rereiv'd applause, From all contemners of the laws ; A few plain jars alone essayed, To/ ccdm the. hubbub he had made ; 1 * . But every platter, every pan,' Was eager to ado jit the plan • So by tire factious crew s consent, The pitcher was dubb'd president. A water jug did gravely say— ' Tis true we, aijp all formM- of clay,' Shall he who mudr w all be blamM, ". Since we're for different functions fram'd? " Be each contented with his fate, All aie not happy who are great; " Our pursuits are quite different.

They prais'd the grease- pot to the skies, And all resolv'd the enterprize; But quickly rose a source of grief. For every one would fain be chief; With fury they did each survey, j^ ll would command but none obey ; So fierce their contest then arose. From noisy words they came to blows; Pots, basins, pans, with furious clatter, Did one another fiercely batter; All in contention wildly ranged, They found their order quickly changed ; Instead of bettering their state, A heap of rubbish was their fate.

A Minister could not stand, as, under our nuicb vilified but excellent Constitution, the Minister often has done, if lie arrayed himself on the side of justice, when he had neither means or influ- ence tbat enabled him to resist the great and over- powering interests which I have named*, and these would act singly or combined, as suited temporary objects. " The present system of education is too rapid to form habits, and allow good principles to take deep rout ; and some of the recent institutions for diffusing knowledge among the labouring classes carry those at once to the summit, whose . minds have never been disciplined by the toil and labour of Climbing the rugged sides ofthe mountain. They give knowledge without principle, and iu a way which cannot tend to Ihe strength of the mind, but is rather calculated to make a man self- conceited in a shallow judgment, teadv to give an ear fo hint who declaims against the constituted authorities of his country." same day these professional gentlemen drew up a will for her, in which she entirely excluded her favourite tiiece and nephew, and left the whole of her property divided amongst Mr. T homas Archer f'dtlin Mr. \ HIli-. ni; el Catlin- bis brother, and a MA NSION. HOVSE,' LOS DON. Extracts from Sir John Malcolm's Pamphlet. " It has been truly said by a modern writer of great celebrity, that ' Governments'are dot framed after a model, but that all the parts and powers grew out of occasional acts, prompted by some urgent expediency, or some private interest, which in the course of time coalesce and harden into usage; and lhat. this bundle of usages is the object ofthe respec: and the guide of ^ ondticl, long before it is embodied defined, and infused iu written laws. Government may be in some degree reduced to a system, hut it iannot flow from it. It is not like a machine or a building, which may be constructed entirely, and according to a previous plan, by Ihe art or labour of man. It is better illustrated by Comparison with vegetables, or ev^ n animals, which may be in a very higH degree improved by skill and care— which ibay lie grievously injured hy neglect, or destroyed by violence— but which cannot be produced by human contrivance. A Government can indeed be no mor than a mere draft or scheme of rule, w hen it is not composed of habits of obedience on the part of the people, and of an habitual exercise of. certain portions of authority hy the individuals or bodies who con- stitute the sovereign power; these habits, like all i'lhers, can only be formed by repeated acts; they cannot be suddenly infused by the lawgiver, nor can they immediately follow ihe most perfect convic- tion ( f H eir propriety. Many causes having more power over the human mind llian written law, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, FROM THE M KIIK PE- RUSAL OF A WRITTEN St ill ME OF GOVERNMENT, TO FOB! TEL WHAT IT WILL PROVE IN ACTION.' — Sir James Macintosh's History of Englund, vol. 1, page 72. " These just reflections," says Sir John Malcolm, " singularly refer to the British Government, and are conclusive against so sudden and great a change in lhat Government as would be produced by tbe He- form Bill. It would disturb and unsettle Ihe minds of all classes of the nation in an extreme degree, nor could its consequences be either foreseen or con- trolled. It commences by destroying chartered rights, by disfranchising thousands in the present and next generations. It establishes principles in the creation of new rights, which will probably he found im- practicable ;— and those that bring it forward accept, if they do not call for, ttie aid of men, whose conduct and views they profess to reprobate. " And for what do we incur such hazards? Will abler men come into Parliament, or will those who are returned be less fettered hy pledges and promises ? Will labourers be relieved from the hardships and toils incident ( o their condition? Will trade be ex- tended ? Will taxes he diminished ? Will bread or meat be cheaper ? Will the road lo wealth ami honour through Ihe industry, the gallantry, or the talent of individuals be more open ?' Is any relief denied under the present constitution of Parliament, which will lie given by that which is proposed? Will public meetings of the people he rendered less fre- quent and tumultuous by concessions to their excited passions ? Will Ireland he tranquillized by the measure in ils present form ? or the condition of Scotland be improved ? Will the interests of the people he more attended, to, and will fliey become more happy aiitl prosperous by the widely extended franchise r Will the increase of members, and the change in the qualification of voters of London and other great cities, lessen bribery and corruption Will the lower ord< rs continue long content under the loss of rights enjoyed by them and thefr fathers) These and many more questions must be answered, not by declamations or general arguments, but by substantial proofs resting 011 acknow ledgt d results of practice and experience, before we can cease to regard the contemplated measure of the . Ministers as one, that may in its consequences deeply atl'ect alt that we possess as the fruits of a life of labour— the peace and happiness of the families that we love— and above all, the strength and continued prosperity t'f a country in which wc have ever gloried. We cannot yield our judgment on such a question to the general maxims of utilitarians and economists, nor are we to be deceived hy the specious and delusive nrgtimeiils of theorists, much less be restrained from open expression of our sentiments hy the abuse of a vu. leut Press, or the clamour of an excited multitude. Some, in the dread of Ihe torrent, think to avoid its immediate fury hy going along willi it ; thus making an irretrievable concession to the destructive princi- ple, that the people ( as large tumultuous meetings nre often most erroneously called) whenever as- sembled, are to be pleased at all hazards, or in other words, that llie reins are to be given tliem, whenever they clamorously demand them. " No human wisdom can say to what extent the proposed change will atl'ect the various interests of ' tie stale. One result, however, may be confidently foretold. No Administration, if the proposed mea- sure has full effect, could ever be strong, or able to conduct the Government under any agitated slate of the public mind, or against the efforts of any strong body of individuals combined to promote their own interests. They could neither support the authority of the King, nor protect his subjects. They must be the demagogues of fhe multitude, or the beads of llie predominant party of the day; if the former, the Crown and Nobles would soon fall; if the latter, what Ministers could protect the lesser towns or sea. ports against London with her sixteen Members, her meetings, and her mobs? Suppose the great manu- facturing towns or individuals, who have large vested capital in the coal, or copper, or iron, or any great commercial staples, combined 011 any occasion for On Tuesday, several respectable lightermen ap- plied lo Sir P. Laurie ( who sat for the Lord Mayor) lo assist them in some way or other against tbe masters of ihe Margate and Graveseiid gleam- vessels," who seemed lo set at defiance every thing that could be said or dous to prevent theni from racing in the Thames. The complaint disclosed a new fact; wliich convinced the Alderman lhat nothing short of legislative interference could have the effect of remedying the evil so long aud loudly reprobated. ' t he lightermen said that, people would have sup- posed that, afler so complete an. efjiosure us had taken place of the conduct of the masters of the steam- vessels, there would have been some abate- ment of llie nuisance. It was ridiculous to suppose so. But a few days ago serious injury had been sustained. A lighterman was responsible for some ne silks with which fifs vessel was loaded. She lay in the river, and suddenly a cotiple uf steamers issed by in a race, and half filled her with water. The silks at the bottom of the vessel were conse- quently injured, but it was uot yet known to what extent. Another vessel belonging lo a lighterman had 011 board a large quantity of preserved sugar, amongst which the swell caused by the speed of Ihe steamers dashed about four tons of water. Another vessel, which was laden willi coals, was unk as the steamers passed along at full speed ; but the owner was unable to ascertain by w hich of them the mischief was dodo. Numbers of » berries had been overt timed ; but the masters of the steamers never eared whether there was loss of life or net. Sir P. Laurie said that the whole waterside rung with complaints against the steamers ; in fact, the more preposterous they became the more dangerous became the nuisances. Already several applications luid beeu made to the Court of Aldermen on the subject; but he thought that complaints ought to be accumulated, for tbe evil was beyond endurance. No person who had any regard for his life could venture to cross the waler in a small boat while a steam- vessel was iu the neighbourhood; and there was now so many at work that the danger was at every moment most imminent. One of the lightermen said that unfortunately the racing was now so much a part of the system, that he could see no chance of stopping the nuisance except an attempt was made through the ( lockets of the owners. The fact was, that numerous wagers were made upon the speed of steamers, uot only against each other, but against time. A Murgate steamer reached Margate now in five hours and a half, but there was 110 abatement ofthe speed when Ihey were in the narrowest aud most crowded part of the river. To the know ledge of Ihe complainant, upwards of £ 1000 had been often depending upon the speed of the vessels. The master* were generally dipped on the wagers £ 16 or £ 20, and they seldom stopped to lake passengers up 111 the river, as the profits arising from the increase of passengers could by no means eqtiitl those which attended the winning of Ihe race. The plan of making the work of steamers a matter of spoi ling w as fhe thing that altogether interfered with the safety of the river Sir Peter Laurie said lie certainly never heard that sucfi gambling was carried on, und his surprise al the continuance of the nuisance no longer existed. He advised llie applicants to petition parliament 011 ihe subject, and lo be prepared to lay before the legislature ull the information they could collect. The lighterrt\ eii said that within the lasl two y& irs, to their knowledge, thirteen lives had been lost by means of the steamers; properly to au im- mense amount had been injured in lighters, boais, and small craft; and tbe trade of. the waterman had been almost entirely destroyed. 1 Sli' Piter Laiirte said it was impossible that such a statement could be made without exciting a very powerful sympathy; and the applicants might rely upon his exertions in Ihe Court of Aldermen to put au end 10 so formidable a source of danger and annoyance. He, however, thought that au applica- tion to parliament must be eventually resorted to. The lightermen said that above bridge the spirit of gambling had the same effect upon the masters of lite steamers. Sir Peter Laurie— You must add your complaints to those already before the Court of Aldermen, and, ito doubt, some improvement will take place. Il will, 1 think, be necessary to pret'ent llie steamers from coming up llie liver higher than Lini^ House or perhaps Greenwich. Mrs. Kobinson, their sister, and iu three days after signing this will, namely, on the 13th, she signed ulso a power of attorney drawn up for her by Mr. Hall, handing over to Messrs. Hall aud Masler the whole antl sole possession and management of all her properly during her life ; and under this power of attorney these gentlemen immediately acted and look possession nf Clavering, and every thing else that belonged to the testatrix, even to a few pounds iu money in Ihe hands of Miss Betsey Brand. Afler being some time at Mr. Catlin's house the old lady removed to u house taken for her at Waldeu, next door to. Mr. and Mrs; Robinson, the defendants in this cause, aud here, as well as at Mr. Cat lilt's, all her relations and former acquaintances were denied any access to her, and tier favourite niece and nephew were even insulted whenever they asked to see her; antl, on occassion, Miss Brand was turned out of CatlinV house, aud threatened with personal violence by Mr. Hall, the attorney, be- cause she went into her aunt's room without per- mission. At the house to which the old lady was removed, in Gold- street, at Walden, the front win- dows wer. e kept constantly closed, and the street- door always chained, so that 110 oue not approved of should be admitted that way; and the only free communication was a door new ly made for the pur- pose, at the back of the house, to communicate with Robinson's house, ar. d some certain persons approved of were only allowed lo enter. In this abode the old lady lived chiefly in the kitchen amongst Ihe servants, and a new doctor ( the doctor of fhe Catlins) as well as these new attorneys, were appointed to attend her, to the exclusion of her own former solicitor and surgeon, who in vain applied to be admitted to her presence; aiid iti this'house, and under these circumstances, the lady remained until she died, none uf the relations or former friends having ever again seen her alive. When Ihe will, signed by the testatrix 011 Ihe 10fh of March, as a'bove stated, was duly witnessed und completed, Mr. Hall, the attorney ( aud also, with his partner, the attorney in defending this action), got from the. old lady the will of 1828, in which she had left hef property to her relations; and it being no longer of any uSe," us he said, iu his evidence, he very deliberately put it into Ihe fire. For some reason which tlid not clearly appear, and must be guessed at, the testatrix made another will, 011 the 19th of Ihe same- month of March, also drawn up by Mr. Ilall, leaving her property lo Ihe Catling, as before, uud one or two legacies of trifling amount to two servants; and on the 28th of October followiug she made a fhifd will, drawn op again hy Mr. Hall, his partner, Masters, always assist- ing in the proceedings, in which she left tlie whole of her property to Mrs. Robinson, Mr. Catlin'i sister, but omitting the names of the two brothers, except a legacy to £ 100 to one of her relations, ti young 1 idy named Cornwall, who, however, refused to accept any thing under the will. A Mr. Smith, a very respectable gentleman at Walden, and great friend of Mr. Callin, was named an executor 11 this will, but he refused to act, although Mr. Catlin strongly urged him to do so, aud offered to ndemnify him against any pecuniary risk. Oil the morning o'f the " day that Ihe last will of October was made, a number of persons, acquaintances and friends of Mr. Catlin, at Walden, were taken to see the testatrix by Mr. Catlin, before she signed the will ; and Ihey held a sort of inquest iu the room on the state of her mind, aud signed on Ihe spot a paper, as was stated, declaratory of her perfect sanity; and these men, some of whom were witnesses to the different will, gave the chief evi- dence as lo the sound slate of her mind. For llie plaintiff, whose case was opened this day by the Coinnton Sereeant, in a most able address, which occupied neai ly four hours ifi the delivery, it was clearly proved by many most respectable witnesses, both professional and otherwise, lhat the unhappy old lady's mind had beeu in quite a dis- eased und distorted state long before she quitted Clavering, and went to live at Catliu's, from which, at her advanced time of life, there w as no hope that she would ever recover; and it was proved that 01 e of llie principal witnesses, who now swore lo her perfect sanity to within a few hours of her death, had repeatedly declared that she never had even a lucid interval since she cafne to live at Walden. — The jury then Save i'j their formal verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. Juhit Horner Brand, w ho is a grand nephew to the deceased, and takes as heir at law ihe freehold property, unless ( he contents of Ihe will which Mr. Hall burned shall beset up; which, we understand, is not likely, all the relations bein on such kindly aud amicable terms. ' The whole of the properfy left by the deceased is about £ 15,000. panic struck, and helpless. This vile and cowardly - surrender began the work of discomfiture and dis- grace iu the other parts of the country. It is true, that few men have courage enough to expose them- selves to rabble insults in a public cause; but iu this cause the City owed something to itself— the intelligent merchants and respectable inhabitants of London owed something t, o their country. They ought to have done something for the sake of example. If Ihey could not calculate on success, they ought at least to have shown us how much they could do. Is it to be believed, that the most respectable portion of the City liverymen could not return one anti- reform caudidate? Perhaps not, incredible though it may seem ; still they might have recorded two or three thousand plumpers merely to convince Lord Brougham that the City electors were not unanimously in favour of Lord John's thrice amended, twenty times considered, fifty times cobbled, and yet imperfect and abortive bill— convinced even Lord Grey that the measure of a united Cabinet, which was half strangled at its birth, and died before it was two months old, was not a measure of absolute wisdom. This duly the capital owetl to the nation. How it shruuk from it let history tell." REFORM. THE LATE ELECTIONS. CHELMSFORD, JULY 23. DOE, DEM. BRAND, V. ROBINSON. This very reinarkuble cause commenced on Friday morning, and was not terminated till'this evening, there being no less than 40 witnesses to be ex- amined. The short history of the case, us proved in evidence, is as follows :— The testatrix, Mrs. Elizabeth IJrand, a maiden lady, who died iu the month of January last, at the age of 80, at Saffrou Waldeu, in this county ( Essex), had been born und lived all her life, until within ten mouths of her dettlh, at a place called Cluvei iug, her own estate, within nine miles of Walden, lo which she was greatly attached, and was much respected unit beloved in her neighbourhood as a most kind and benevolent lady, dispensing her Charities most liberally to the poor aud distressed around her. for which her means were abundantly ample. She had a favourite namesake and niece. Miss . Betsy Brand, whom she took to reside . with her many years ago, and also a favourite nephew, Charles Brand, the brother of this young lady, who lived at a short distance from Clavering, on a pro- perty of his own; aud towards this nephew uud niece she professed the warmest attachment; and had always given tin in to understand that they should be the successors to her properly afler her death;' and in the 1' 8C8 she confirmed her previous professions by making a will in which she be- queathed to theiU. llie whole of tier possessions, real and personal, and she built a new house on Ihe estate, the fust sione cf which she had luid by the hands of I hose two favourite relations, who, it ap- peared, bad always relumed her fondness for them by the most affectionate and kind attention to all llie old lady's comforts and sources of happiness. Matters continued iu this slate of natural and affectionate hatninny until the beginning of March,• 1830, when suddenly the old lady, without' the slightest apparent cause, professed the greatest disiike for ibis niece and nephew, to whom for so many years she had been so ardently attached, and about the same lime some remarkable aberrations of mind became observable lo those around her, lo which alone could be attributed her sudden dislike of her relations; aud il soon became bruited about that the old lady's faculties were fast decaying, which almost every one ubout lhat part of Ihe country could not fail lo hear of. Just ut tbis time Mr. Thomas Archer Catlin, of the firm of Gibson and Cal tin, bankers, at Saffron Walden, u very distant relation ofthe old lady's, paid her a visit at Clavering, which he had not done above half a dozen times in as many years before, and in exactly one week after his visit— namely, un the 10th of March,— the testatrix quilted her own residence at Clavering, w hich was 60 endeared lo her, and drove in her carriage lo Saffron Walden, where she took up her abode at the house of Mr. T homas Catlin, aud where she was placed to breakfast, dine, & c. in the same room, and lo sleep 011 the same bed from which the corpse of Mr. Thomas Calliu's mother, who died there, had only been removed two days before ; and on the very day of Mrs. Brand's arrival there, Messrs. Hall and Masler, the latter mayor, uud the former town- clerk of Saffron Walden, the solicitors to Mr. Callin, and almost total strangers to the old lady, were introduced to her, and on the The following just remarks upon the means employed lo carry the late Elections, to obtain " shows of " hands," & c. are given in Eraser's Magazine :— " The Times newspaper, which has done more to bring the public press of England into disgrace than all the publications of Carlile or Cobbelt, instructed its rabble readers to proceed to the hustings wilh mud iu their hands and stones in their pockets, and expatiated on the liberal regime of ducking in a hofsejxmd, provided , its, worthy abettors should iia'vc no convenient Fleetditch to render the outrage more disgusting aud appalling. These fiendish instructions, which could ouly emanate from the mind of a person habituated to a pothouse, or some lord paramount to a Ciiy stew, supreme amongst his brother blackguards, were wafted in the same broad sheet over the whole country, copied into all the other revolutionary journals, and enforced by thesafiie sort of argument which distinguished the master- appeal. The mob were called upon, in. his Majesty's name, to break the King's peace. They were armed with con- vincing reasons in favour of reform, by having bludgeotis under their smock- frocks, and brickbats under ( heir arms. They were told that a knotted stick was as useful at an election as a good vote, and that a seoofndrel so accoutred, although he had neither a coat to his back, nor a house lo live iu, although his shoes had been given him by the parish, and lie had stolen the ale with which he was inebriated, was, nevertheless, as good an elector as a twenty- pound freeholder. These were the sentiments which the ministerial journals inculcated, and these the intoxicating arguments by which the rabble were driven to fhe hustings, wilh the sacred name cf the King 011 their lips, and the symbols uf their lawless authority flourish- ing over their heads. It was in this way lhat many of the elections of the kingdom were decided — by these acts of violence aud intimidation lhat many honourable candidates were defeated. At no period ill Ihe history of this country, was there ever an election contest similarly conducted, ' t he rabble were stimulated to these outrages, not per- haps by his Majesty's ministers, but certainly by those who call themselves the organs of llie govern- ment, and who have beeu permitted, God knows for what reason, to run a long career of insolence wilh impunity— slandering all that is good and great in the country, aud pandering to the iucensed passions of the very wretches whose bread they have aided in taking away, and whom, now lhat they have reduced tbem to pauperism, Ihey would willingly cheer 011 to deeds of spoliation aud crime. " But while we are bound to commiserate those candidates who were compelled to retire from such law less and sanguinary scenes, and must appreciate the motives under which many of them acted, we cannot at Ihe same time help regretting that some of them shutild have so soon taken alarm. The retirement of Mr. Ward from the City w hen he was so fully prepared and resolved to stand the brunt of the contest, was, to our thinking, a deep misfortune. It was against him that the brothel- bullying of the Times newspaper was first directed. His committee absolutely quailed under it. Tliey took ( jiglii ar* t| ie first volley fired from the guns of Printing House- square. They were as much iutimidalc- d by the first broadside of these dirty- faced politicians as if it had come from the tinkers of the Fauxbourgh St. Autoiue. They trembled in their shoes as if they had seen their counting- houses 011 fire, Ihe wine from their cellars washing the pavement of Ludgate- hill, and the ghosts of their wives and children looking down upon them from the cross of St. Paul's. They took to their heels, and left poor Ward very much like a fool, or the Lord Mayor— The Number of the Quarterly just published contains an article 011 Reform, written with all the force and ability which characterises that valuable publication. The " popularity" of the Sovereign, saitl to have been acquired by his conduct 011 the Reform Question, is one of the topics brought under consideration. " When the orator of old," observes the writer, " found himself applauded by the giddy multitude, he exclaimed, 1 What folly have 1 said :' When a King finds himself extravagantly popular he may well inquire w hether he has not committed some folly ; and if lie finds that the popularity is, like all new- born zeal, most violent among those who liad been hitherto the bitter opponents and revilers of every tiling royal, lie may not unwisely suspect that he has unintentionally done something derogatory or injurious to the royal authority." These are sound observations, and not less so are those which we subjoin, regretting that we are unable at present to quote more at large from this ably- writteh|, ar, ticlc :— " Upon the KING'S future coijtisc^ dtmiiWinnot presume to speculate. We have intimatedlbirldly,— because the crisis requires truth— but respectfully, because we duly reverence the monarchical station, — ouropinion of the duties of the King of ENGLAND. We are satisfied that his MAJESTY, in following im- plicitly the advice of his Ministers, conscientiously believes that he fulfils his duty, and his MAJESTY is unquestionably right in that opinion ; but— at the moment when a Cabinet should have proposed to his Royal Father a measure of one- tenth of the danger of lliis Reform Bill, they would have ceased to be liis Majesty's Ministers. Again ; when on the Budget it was demonstrated that the Cabinet had neither the experience of business nor the confidence of the country, they should, according to the usual princi- ples of our Constitution, have ceasetl to rule; and again— when the voice ot a Parliament, so lately elected b'y his MAJESTY'S own summons, had ex- pressed its opinion against the Reform Bill, the good old practice of our Constitution would have pointed cut, that his MAJESTY, instead of dissolving the Parliament, should have dissolved the Cabinet. " But these occasions not having been taken for the exercise of the KlNfc's undoubted right, we con- fess we contemplate his MAJESTY'S situation with the most dutiful and affectionate regret. We do not see how he can now appear in the character so essential to liis office, and so congenial to his feelings, of the protector of his people against a portentous danger. His sacrcd name has been so liberally abused by every ministerial candidate, that it seems, as it were, identified with Reform-, and his MAJESTY appears to us, notwithstanding the fumes of false popularity with which his Ministers obscures his eyes, and, as we believe, offend his good taste, to be in a situation of perplexing and powerless embarrassment, such as nn King of England has experienced since the Revo- lution. u It is not for u's" to suggest the means of extrica- tion— that is the duty, above all, of his MAJESTY'S hereditary counsellors— hilt we may be permitted to say that if any new encroachment on the part of the Ministers, or if a nearer view of the probable effects of their Bill, were to give to his MAJESTY a fair and rational ground for a change of opinion, we have no doubt that the same general and generous patriotism which twice burst forth to emancipate GEORGE the Third frorti two infamous coalitions, would be ready in the same spirit to respond to the call of Wit. I. IAM the Fourth; and would show his MAJESTY how different is that semblance of popularity, with which the radical enemies of the Crown mock the " patron of the Reform Bill," from that sober but steady, that moderated because rational affection and reverence wilh which the PEOPLE of England regard the SOVERUGN GUARDIAN of their Constitution in CHURCH AND STATE,— a Constitution which alone, of all the political devices of mankind, has been found adequate to combine the necessary power of the Monarch with the individual liberty of the subject,— the stability of society with popular rights widely diffused and constantly exercised,— and fixed grada- tions of rank and riches with an open field to every talent, and a fair career to every ambition 1 Such is our Constitution, such only could it have become, and such only can il be maintained, by that very excellence which the Reform Bill professes to destroy — the nice combination and well- poised balance of all the powers of the State in the House of Commons, where, in fact, the chief powers of the Government are exercised, and where the influences of the other two branches of tbe sovereign legislature are mutually felt, fairly appreciated, and satisfactorily adjusted. " Surely, surely, men cannot be so mad as on the sudden— without any alleged practical evil— without any presumed practical good— to overthrow so an- cient and admirable a system, merely because some of its parts look old- fashioned. On this point we are tempted to quote an anecdote, the accuracy of w hich we can guarantee. During a late contest for a town in the West, a watchmaker in the Reform interest went to canvass a particular friend who was in some other trade," a coachmaker as we recollect. After the watchmaker had explained to his friend the merits of the Reform Bill, the latter replied, " My good friend, if you liad a clock which had not only regulated your own family for a century, but which was con- sulted by the whole neighbourhood, and never equalled by any clockmaker who had tried to copy it, and if one of those who bad never been able to imitate it should advise you to take the old fashioned machine to pieces, and substitute newer wheels, more modern movements, and the last Parisianscapement, what would you say to liini ? for whatever you would say about mending your good old clock, I say to yob about Reform." IBTSSRCUANEOUS INTELLIGENT. FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.— The following significant anecdote comes via Berlin ; we think therefore it may be relietl 011 as authentic :—" Accounts from Vienna say, that the French Ambassador, by order of his Court, had asked Prince Metternich for informa- tion respecting the real object of the continued armaments of Austria, adding, that he required a positive answer. The Prince, it is said, referred the Ambassador to the Emperor, to whom he accordingly put the same question. Tlie Emperor is reported to have answered in the following terms: —' Sir,— The whole world knows that France is arming, as you have yourselves stated in your official reports, and as your budget and loans sufficiently prove. Notwith- standing this, I have not hitherto inquired the reason of this arming, tint I now plainly ask you, why does France arm ? When you have answered this ques- tion in a clear and unequivocal manner, 1 will inform you of the motives of my armaments.'— The Am- bassador, it is said, made some excuses, but without further insisting on a positive answer." The " conveyancers" were particularly successful at Ihe fight near Warwick ; Ihey robbed Mr. Hall, of Ihe Mattock and Spade, Warwick, of £ 300, of which £ 103 was in cash ; a gentleman of Coventry of £ 25; and several parties had their pockets picked of £ 10, £ 5, and other sums. During Ihe fight a gentleman of Manchester was eased of £ 700. Hie Mulberry Tree Inn, at Stratford, was robbed of 200 sovereigns, and notes and plate to the amount of £ 100 more. The Unicom lun, ut tbe same place, was also robbed of £ 90. Both these robberies were effected by parties who requested to be accom- modated with upstair upartmeuts, contiguous to which Ihe property, iu both instances, was de- posited.— Warwick Paper. BRILLIANT INVENTION.— An engineer of Bristol, named Richards, living in that city, has, after 15 years' study and labour, completed'a machine which he calls his Endless- Power Machine, which is now in motion. This engine, it is said, Will supersede Ihe use of steam iu all its various purposes. The inventor declares that his self- acting engine, of 250 horse power, will take a vessel round the world with the small quantity of two gallons of oil applied to its movements when required. A NOVEL MODE OF SHEEP DRIVING— A butch- er's hoy of York, having been sent to fetch up two sheep, resolved to try an experiment on the habits of that patient animal in order to drive them with greater case to himself. He had seen hounds run in couples, and, reasoning by analogy, why might not sheep ? The youth, therefore, took a cord, anil with it yoked bis fleecy charge together. Experiment, however, has overturned many a plausible theory ; and so it did in the present instance. The parties not being exactly agreed, began to pull different ways, and, feeling the unusual restraint which was imposed upon them, they commenced a sort of steeple chase in search of their wonted liberty. A cow, which was lying at her ease on the green sward, directly in the line of the hurried flight, presented a tittle obstacle, which tbey, attempted to surmount in their sheepish way, not by turning aside but by leaping over it. One of them made a spring, and was fairly over the mountain of beef, but the un- lucky cord happened to rest across the cow's back, up she sprang, and roused by the sudden liberty taken with her person found herself in possession of two fat sheep, as nicely balanced as ever were pan- niers on an ass, or the famed bottles which dangled at at the saddle of Johnny Gilpin. Away ran the beef with the mutton, whilst the astonished lad joined in the pursuit with the prospect before him of his experi- mental cord anticipating the knife of the butcher. The cow at length began to he fatigued with her load, and this enabled the pursuer to come up in time to prevent the catastrophe, antl, suddenly cut- ting the cord, the < 110 fleeces fell to the ground, and they were then driven in the usual way, the youth being satisfied that, though dogs may do very well yoked together, it is not exactly the same thing with sheep. MONTE ROSA.— Monte ROSAJ a mountain of the Alps which separate the Valais from Piedmont, is not quite so high as Mont Blatic, but of far greater circumference; indeed, as a single mountain, it sur- passes in magnitude any other in Europe. It is a curious fact that the south side of the mountain is yet inhabited by Germans, a robust and honest race, who live almost wholly secluded oil their uuvisited heights, and have very little intercourse with the Italians dwelling lower down. They are subjects of the King of Sardinia; and M. Hirzcl remarks, with just indignation, that the clergy have forbidden Ihem, on pain of excommunication, to speak German any longer ; but they care very little about this interfliet. The men are absent all. the summer, going as masons and day labourers to France and Germany; so that the women alone are left on the mountain to look after the cattle. In winter, when the men return, they are confined by the snow, and cannot descend into the valleys. Under these cir- cumstances they may, perhaps, maintain their ground for a long time to come, if they should not be routed out ( says our authority) " by the cruelty of the missionaries"— Desultory Foreign Reading. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE— Last night, soon afler ten o'clock, a new factory belonging to Mr. T. Fernley, jun. called the Weir Mill, was completely destroyed by fire, and of all the modern and valuable machinery which it contained not a vestige was rescued from Ihe destructive element. By half- past eleven all the floors were consumed, and by twelve o'clock the west front wall, six stories in height and 40 yards long, fell with a tremendous crash into the river. The properly was only in part insured, and the loss to Mr. T. Feruley canuot be less than £ 12,000. That to the fire- office ( the Phcenix), Ihe respectable agent for which was on the spot the whole of the night, will be about £ 6000. The scene which this mass of fire exhibited for about two hours beggars all description, and the desolation which the light of day brought to view with it is beyond the power of our pen sufficiently to illus- trate, added to which from 250 to 300 men, women, and children have been deprived of the means of providing for their livelihood.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF RYE GRASS.— In a field occupied by Mr. Reeve, of Yalding, may be seen the extraordinary instance of two hundred and seventy- eight steins of rye grass, proceeding from a single seed, self sown '. There are 15 joints to each stem, and each joint contains 10 seeds, so that this one seed has produced the immense num- ber of forty- one thousand seven hundred seeds This would be incredible if tbe fact were not in. disputable, and removes Ihe possibility of doubt by presenting visual evidence of its authenticity.- Maidstone Journal. At the Glamorganshire Assizes, William John, for sending 1111 anonymous letter to the Hon. VV. B.

O11 the 12th inst. the roof of Woodchurch, near Dewsbury, suddenly fell, and buried the nave, pulpit, pews, & c. in the rUins. Time had impaired the roof, and some^ ien had gone up to examine and restore it; but just as they commenced removing the slates, the whole roof fell in with an astounding crash, but we arc happy to state that no persons' sustained injury. The walls are so shaken by the concussion that they must be taken down. OUY'S SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK.— When Ibis work was first published, we predicted that il would very soon be used iu every respectable school in the empire,— and in less than twelve months a demand upoti the publishers has been made, we understand, for not less than ten thousand copies! Indeed, the great quantity of historical information it contains is alone enough to secure its universal adoption. It has an abstract of no less than ten ancient and eighteen modern kingdoms and states; and besides this important feature, it has a succinct abstract of ancient and modern biography, with all names of consequence, and some notice of their works, commencing at the earliest periods, and continued to the preseut time; with an abstract of geography, astronomy, and mythology, explanations of Latin and French phrases and abbreviations; the human structure, questions 011 miscellaneous subjects, such as productions for food, raiment, clothing, wines, gums, gems, tithes, government, titles of distinction, great offices of state, trade, commerce, arts, sciences, & c. A conflagration occurred on Thursday morning at the extensive china manufactory of Messrs. Chamber- lain and Co. Frog- lane, Worcester. About half- past five o'clock, flames were observed to issue from a small painting- room, forming a part of a long range of the factory offices, and which, at one time, wore so serious an aspect as to threaten the destruction of the whole building. However, two engines were immediately hastened to the spot, and there being plenty of water close at hand, added to the indefa- tigable exertions of the neighbours, who assembled in gieat numbers, the fire was got under in about an hour, and before its ravages had extended beyond the portion of the premises in which it originated. The entire of the painting room was gutted, aud it was also unroofed ; the model- room adjoining was likewise injured ; and besides this, damage to some amount was occasioned in the destruction of numerous valuable models, and some beautiful china in the process of painting. Amongst the china was part of a splendid service which Messrs. Chamberlain are making for the Duchess of Kent; it is hoped, how. ever, the injury this lias sustained is reparable. Upon the whole, the mischief occasioned is comparatively trifling to that which was at first apprehended; and it is most fortunate the flames vvere so early discovered, or the results must have been serious. T he cause of flic accident was the ignition of the flooring joists of the painting- room from the intense heat of one of the kilns underneath, although the furnace of the kiln bad been extinguished as early as four o'clock the previous afternoon. We believe both premises and stock were insured. There was found, a few days ago, in Argyle Lodge, which is at preseut undergoing a thorough repair by government, a single pane of stained glass, 9 inches by <) inches square, which had beeti used us a sun- dial, and evidently of considerable antiquity. The graduated line for the hours was placed upon it diagonally, descending from Ihe right to the left, and fitted to distinguish lime from three o'clock iu the morning till twelve o'clock at noon. On each side of the hour- line, at about a third of the whole lint from the upper angnlar point, are two small holes drilled, in which are still the leaden pins in which Ihe gnomon, probably also of lead, was fastened for casting the shadow. The different compartments of the glass seem to have been stained into it, but the graduations, as well as the figures, are painted upon it, and also the words festina, " make haste," in the. upper division, and parafo, " make ready," ill the lower pari, written iu the current Italian hand of the fifteenth, and commencement of the sixteenth centuries. Thereia a small figure painted on it which appears at first lo resemble a spider, but, when held in the light repre- sents afly, tlie wings being painted upon the opposite side of the pane. This dial of the olden time must have been placed in au eastern exposure, but as it was only calculated for indicating the hours iu the first part of the day, it is very likely that there were other panes,- on the same principle, placed iu different exposures— conveniences which must havo been found extremely useful in such lordly mansions before the introduction of clocks and watches. This curiosity was found tinder the floor 111 lhat part built by the Earl of Stirling ; and it is highly probable, that nobleman had caused the principal apartments to be furnished with such conveniences, as it was from his taste for the fine arts be was ennobled by his sovereign.— Stirling Advertiser. At tfie Bedford Assizes, James Rearing and John Atkinson were capitally convicted of having, iu the town of Bedford, 011 the night of the 25lh of April, burglariously entered the bouse of John Bull, a silversmith and jeweller, and stolen therefrom 60 watches, 300 gold rings, 30 gold seals, a great number of ear- rings, silver snuff- boxes, and other valuable goods. The prisoners were proved to have been at Bedford on the night iu question, and Deal ing was identified by the post- boys on the road as having, with three other men, come up to London in a chaise. Part of the property was left behind in one of the post chaises. On Saturday, the prisoners were sentenced to death. The evi- dence against Atkinson was very slight. Dearing admitted that both before and after the robbery, he was with the actual robbers, but denied further participation in it. He declared that Atkinson had 110 connexion whatever with the robbery. , Died, a few days since, at Mayfield, near Ash- bourn, at an advanced age, Mr. Joseph Allen, bachelor. He was exceedingly penurious in hi* habits, living entirely alone, aud a few days before his death he informed a relative, that in his cellar, under a quantity of chips, would be found a box containing something worth notice. Upon ex- amination, 290 sovereigns were found, besides guineas, to the 110 little satisfaction of the inte. rested parties ; the whole of the property left ia estimated at £ 3,000 or £ 4,000. O11 Tuesday two of the Lanark rioters were tried before the High Court of Justiciary, and found guilty of mobbing and rioting on the day of the election. One was sentenced to 9 months' im- prisonment, and the other who wouuded Colonel Douglas, to 12 mouths' imprisonment. Some of our Whig friends must feel very uncomfortable. Tbe result of these trials lias placed them in a very awkward position.— Glasgow Courier. On the 17th of last month, a portion of thp Duchy of Parma, to the extent of 30 miles in length, and 10 to 15 in breadth, was so dreadfully ravaged by a hail storm, that the crops, which were ready for the sickle, were actually buried under heaps of hail- stones, the smallest of which are said to have weighed half a pound, the largest three pounds. Thirty villages were ruined by the storm! RAILROADS SUPERSEDED! CANALS ABOLISHED ! AND HORSES RENDERED USELESS!— The follow ing is an extract of a letter, dated July 9, from a gentleman iu Ireland to a friend in this town " J have fortunately hit upon an invention for pro- pelling carriages, so simple in its structure, yet so vast in its power, that it must supersede the use of locomotive engines, and of horses too iu a great measure. Capable of having its power increased to au unlimited exteut; adapted for propelling vessels on rivers and canals, as well as carriages ou common roads, however hilly; the expense of construction small; without liability of the machine getting out of order, and the working of it inconsiderable ; it will very materially reduce the price of travelling and carriage, and cannot fail of coming into geuer& l use. I have already made such experiments aa convince me of its powers; and 1 intend to make application for a patent as soon as possiblc.' V- Macclesfield Courier. PROFITS OF BARCLAY & PEKKINS' BREWERY. — I11 1781, the brewhouse and all that appertained to it, were sold to Mr. Perkins ( who had been chief superintendent at a salary of £ 500) aud to Mr. Barclay, for £ 135,000. Such has, however, be. eu the success of this sort of properly, and its increase in value, that, two or three years ago, a gentleman who possesses one- quarter share of tbis concern, received for bis proportion of oue year's profits, upwards of £ 50,000. The interior of Westminster Abbey now presents a most curious appearance— that of an absolute ruin. Seats for 6,000 persons will be erected, an arrangement involving a consumption of at least 700 loads of timber. The monuments are all cased, to protect them from injury. Their Majesties will be crowned upon a platform raised twelve feet, and immediately in tbe centre between the transepts. A covered way will be erected from the House of Lords to Poets'Comer, for tlie accommodation of the Peeresses, who will assemble there, and a similar platform is to be put up from the uorth door, through St. Margaret's Churchyard, to the iron railing, where the carriages will set dowu. NUISANCES.— In Ihe case, The King v. More, in Ihe King's Bench, recently, Lord Chief Justice Tenterden observed, that " if a person did anything which attracted crowds to a particular spot, and they, by their conduct, occasioned annoyance to the neighbourhood, he who attracts the Crowd was, in point of law, guilty of a nuisance, and liable to be indicted." tl would appear that our two city representatives may make up their minds to an opposition upon the next recurrence of the time when their constituents shall be called upon again to exercise their elective franchise. We have seen a letter from the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, of the date of Saturday last, iu reply to au offer of support which has been made lo liini by a party here, whose movements we have receutly noticed, in which lie assures them of his presence immediately upon the dissolution of Parliament, for llie purpose of personally requesting of them the fulfilment of the promises they have done him the honour to lender him.— I Worcester Herald. THE LATE COACII ROBBERY.— We lately men- tioned that upwards of £ 4000 had been recovered, upon the information of Gilchrist. It seems the notes were concealed under the pavement of a stable, and lo prevent the rats from destroying tltem, arsenic bad been scattered about the place. Not- withstanding this, however, a good many were destroyed. Brown, as we stated, hud gone and're- stored somewhere about £ 1100 which were con- cealed hard rammed into a gun barrel. Of the whole sum stolen, £ 5712, there is now recovered, destroyed, or otherwise accountcd for, upwards of £ 5400, leuving a deficiency of under £ 300.— Glas- gow Courier. GIN DRINKING.— As a proof, if any proof be wanting, of the pernicious effects of dram- drinking, we will subjoin a letier of Sir Astley Cooper to the Secretary ofthe London Temperance Society. Sir Astley observes :—" No person has greater hostility to dram- drinking than myself, insomuch that 1 never suffer any ardent spirits in my liou6e, thinking them evil spirits.' and if the poor could witness Hie white livers, the shattered nervous systems which I have seen, as the consequences of drinking, Ihey wduld be aware that spirits uud poisons were synonymous terms. But stiil I think the scheme so Utopian, that 1 cannot annex my name to il, for I could as soon believe lhat 1 could, by my own efforts, stop the cataract of Niagara, as prevent the poor of London from destroying themselves by intemper- ance'"
