Bennett — This was an action brought b<> flit plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for the non- fulfilment of au agreement. The defendant bad agreed lo let the plaintiff a factory iu the town of Macclesfield, at the rental of tm) per afnrtnfh, the machinery in the building to be paid for on certain terms specified. Previous lo Ihe entering on Ihe premises, ihe de- fendant made some inquiries as to the circumstance* and connexions of Ihe plaintiff, nnd from what ho learnt, refused to abide by fhe agreement. The hearing of this case commenced at noon ou Monday, and it was half past eleven o'clock al night befoi c fhe jury retired to consider their yerdicf. They remained absent about half an hour; and on their return into Court, the foreman said, " we find u verdict for tbe plaintiff; but nh costs" The Judge pointed out the impropriety of the verdict they hail given. The foreman said, " My Lord, eleven of us were for the defendant." His Lordship: " You are not all agreed theft ; yon must refum and re- consider your verdict." The jury accordingly etired; but on their way to their private room one of the jurymen, named Chandley, who resides near Rudheath, bolted 1 ( He had previously told bis brother jurymen that he didna know what tliev meant by plaintiff and defendant, and said that h'e was almost clemmed and choahed, and it was no use bothering any longer, for he was sure Ihe Judge would be satisfied if they'd divide htdf. and- hnlf. J As sioon as the jury got into the room'they missed Chandley, and officers were sent oat in every direction, in Search of him, to almost every pnblic- house in thfe city. His Lordship and the Court sat for some time, when Ihe foreman appeared in the box, and said, « My Lord, there are only eleven of us, one has run auay." The Court continued to sit nn'il one o'clock, and the jury were discharged without finding a verdict. About this hour, the " lost sheep" was found comfortably seated ' by u good fire in the Black Bear lun, eafing beef steaks, and drinking porter !— The following morning he w as ushered into Court, when bis Lordship addressed him on the enormity of his conduct, telling him that Ihe parties in tbe cause bad been put lo a great expense in bringing it into Court, the whole of which by his extraordinary conduct was entirely thrown away. His Lordship ordered him to be fined £ 311. Chandley pleaded total ignorance of ihe duties of a jurylfian ; and said,- " he sboudna bave gone away Only be thought all was o'er." His Lordship declared that the fine should certainly be levied against liirti.

The House stands Upon an Eminence adjoining the Turnpike Road, and is adapted for the Residence nf a respectable Family ; and there are appurtenant to the Estate very valuable Rights of Pasturage on a Common of 3552 Acres. The Whole of tlie old Inclosures of the Manor of S. retton, the Proprietors of which have the exclusive Commonage of the said Common, do not admeasure more than 3300 Acres, so tbat in the Event of an In- closure, it is highly probable that the Allotment in Respect of the Bank House Estate will exceed 100 Acres. Mr. BROOME, of Stretton, the Tenant, will shew the FATAL DUEL AT BOULOGNE. Death of Mr. Bcrhe'ey Bond, at Boulogne. This fatal occurrence took place on Thursday, the llth inst. Mr. Bond riiet his adversary, a Belgian officer, of the iiame of Esse, at four o'clock in Ihe morning, in tile neighbourhood of Oapicure, which is about a mile distant frorii Ihe town of Boulogne. He was shot in the groin, the ball passing nearly through the body, Slid ludging near tbe back bone, whence it was ciit out by a Frertch surgeon, notwithstanding which, Mr. B. died in great agony at eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, seven hours after the meeting. The dispute, out of which this melancholy atlah- arose, originated in a debt at cards, which bein « - claimed by Mr. Esse, was denied by Mr. Bond. The " lie direct" was given by one party, retorted by a blow from the other, and an offer of honourable satis- faction. Mr. Esse having no friends at Boulogne, called upon a British naval officer to attend him. The parties first ( on Wednesday evening) met at the Colonnade, on the heights, but were disturbed by the police. They then met at Ihe place already mention- ed, and the manner of settling the dnet'is represented as remarkable. The parties were plated at twenty paces distance, and slicks were planted in tbe ground between the combatants, ten paces from each other, wilh liberly to the principals to advance upon each b'. ber, keeping within that limit. Mr. Esse, pointing his pistol steadily at liis adversary, frorii the moment of tbe signal, did advance till he reached tbe pre- scribed limit, and then fired with fatal effect. Mr. Bond, as our informant believes, did not fire at all. As the wound was instantly pronounced mortal by Dr. Allatt, an English physician called in on the oc- casion, Ihe survivors instantly fled, the principal In England in an open boat, and the two seconds in a carriage and four for the Belgian frontier. He hail an attachment and a family of five children by the sister of an admired English actress, who has lately figured in two elopements, and heen the subject of a divorce bill in the House of Lords. Independently of this connection, it is nlleged that Mr. Bond ha » left a widow to deplore his untimely end. The death- bed scene, with his five children nnd their mother assembled to witness the last agonies, was of the most distressing nature. Tbe deceased is said, with Ilk dying breath, to have declared lhat the money claimed from him as a debt was not due. The French authorities have instituted a rigid inquiry into all the circumstances.— Observer. ". BEER ACT" AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord Melbourne lias prepared a measure to amend the much- complained of " Beer Bill." The following are its leading features:— No licences to retail beer are to be granted to any constable or peace officer. In case of any licensed person being elected constable, & c. on production of his licence, and proof of carrying on the business, he is to be discharged from serving the office. Licences are not to be granted to nny person who shall not be the real resident occupier of the house, and assessed in respect thereof six months to the poor- rates, or who shall not have paid the rates due, or who shall have received parochial relief. No person is to Im received as a sorely who is not qualified to bo licensed. Persons applying to be licensed lo pro. cliice a certificate from Ihe overseer of the poor of their being assessed and having paid their rates. Constables with warrant are empowered at all limes to enter the bouse of licensed persons. It shall be lawful to any justice of the pence, on com- plaint on oath that there is rioting or disturbance in such house, or that persons are drinking or remaining therein at times or hours when such house is by law prohibited lo be open, to issue a warrant, commanding any constable or other peace officer lo enter such house ; and every such con-, stable and other peace- officer is empowered aud required lo remove anil put out all persons who shall be fonnd in any such house concerned in any riot or disturbance, or drinking or remaining- therein al times or hours when such house is by. law prohibited to be open ; and every person who hall assault or resist or obstruct any constable or- peace officer in Ihe execution ol' such duly shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding £ 10; and any constable or peace officer so assaulted, resisted, or obstructed, may immediately arrest and detain the party so offending, and convey him befoie one or more justice or justices of the peace, & c.

Sir RICHARD VY VV AN brought forward his motion for ( lie production of ail pil| iets- t'Oiitif'i'leil with the late conferences relative to Belgium. The lion., hart, at great length condemned the policy adopted towards the King of Holland.— Lord Fill of seconded the motion,— Lord PALMI BSTON said the papers moved for could not he produced without prejudice tu Ihe public service ; and after some further discussion the motion was withdrawn. , • -.. KKFORM BIJ. tr. On the motion that, the House resolve itself into a Couimitteo, Mr. KI N" N o\ brought forward a propo- sition for tut increase of the numbers for, the Welsh counties; but on Lord ALTHORP remarking that the proposition was worthy of consideration, and should receive attention, the motion was withdrawn.— The Committee then resumed Ihe consideration of that part of the sixteenth clause which provides- 1-" that any persons holding lands or tonenit nts devised for fO yearsas lessee or- assignee, be entitled to vote for a knight of the shire,"— The Marquis of CHANDOS had no objection to give the right of voting to copy- holders, leaseholders, and l'iO: householders; but he was anxious to give the right cf • voting to the farmer of £ 50 a- year,. though be might have no lease. In the county he represented there were comparatively tew leaseholders; and he thought the tenants at will should be admitted to voic. The Noble Lord pro- posed an amendment to Ihe effect," That any person occupying and farming on his own account land at a rent not less than £ 50 by the year, although without any spirifie tenure of his land, shall be entitled to vote at elections. for knights of that shire wherein the said laud is situated ; provided always, that no such occupant shall be entitled to vote until he shall have been one year in bona fide possession of the land."— Lord MILTON objected to leaseholders having a right to vote, ou the ground that it would be a derivative right; he wished to omit the words in the clause giving the right of voting to leaseholders.— Lord AI. THORP thought lhat in the present state of pro- perty iu this country, it was impossible to say that the man who had a lease of land for sixty years was not sufficiently independent t o be entitled to vote for n representative. lie thought differently, however, though with regret, as it respected tenants at will of farms, and must therefore oppose the proposed alter- ation.— A division then took place on the Marquis of Chandos's amendment, when the numbers were— for the amendment 232, against it 148; majority against Ministers 84 — Lord ALTIIORP proposed that the Chairman should report progress, in order to give time lo mate the alteration in the clause in accord- ance with the amendment " f the Noble Marquis, lite motion was agreed to, ( he house resumed, and leave was given to sit again to- morrow. Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. The House resolved itself into Committee on fhe Reform Hill. After a few observations from Lord ALTHOHP, in allusion to the amendment carried on the preceding evening, a trifling amendment in the same clause, proposed by his Lordship, was agreed to. The Sixteenth Clause, amended so as to include as voters for counties till house- holders of £ 50 a- year, whether w ith or without land, as well as farmers, was then put and agreed to. The Seventeenth Clause w as assented to without discussion; anil the Eighteenth was deferred. The Eighth— that having reference to the appointment of Returning Officers by Sheriffs, previously postponed— was next adverted to, and a long discussion arose, in which many of the legal members Of the llouse took part; the clause, with a number of verbal amendments, was at length agreed to. The Returning Officers named in Schedules C anil D were also passed. The bouse then resumed; ami. the Union of Parishes ( Ireland) Bill was thrown out by a division of 38 to 11, after passing the Lords. HOUSE OF COMMONS— SA I URDAY. On llie House resolving itself into Committee on the Reform Bill, the Eighteenth Clause was read. Mr. II. HUGHES complained that by ( lie words ofthe clause the freeholders' rights would be limited in a way that was not contemplated in fhe original clause. — Lord AI. THORP said that by the clause as it now stood, it was intended that the freeholder should not in any case be deprived of his vole for Ihe county, without giving him a right fn vote for the town. Another object was to prevent the voters in totvns overwhelming those of the county at large— Mr. WYN. V asked whether a freeholder would . still have the right to vole for the county if not resident?— Lord Al. THonp replied that freeholders would, as they had al present, liaye that right, but copyholders' and leaseholders would not.— Lord MILTON said the clause had for ifs object to exclude fhe voters for towns from the county constituency. This he thought proceeded upon a false principle, and Ought not fit be the basis of legislation. He considered it desirable that the landed interest, and commercial and manu- facturing interest, should, instead of being separated, lie roughed against each other in their respective counties. He would rather have a vote for two members for a county than for one for a borough. The county constituency would be considered much deteriorated by not continuing fornix up with it the different classes or freeholders. His Noble and Right Hon. Friends wunhl hove haJ infinitely less difficulty in coining forward upon the broad principle that no freeholder should be deprived of his vote, instead of endeavouring to make a miserable balance between Ih> commercial and the landed interest. It was not wise to alter ancient institutions, it was not wise fo tell Ihe freeholder that his right of 600 years* stand- ing could be taken away by an act of parliament. He voted for disfranchising the boroughs eon amdre, but he would „„ t vote for the disfranchisement of miy freeholder iu . England, and he therefore'could not vote for the clause.— Lord A- LTIIORP said lie was placed in a situation of peculiar difficulty, from the conflicting object ions to the clause; lie did not think it right to legislate on the extreme cases put.— Sir R. I'EFL thought it would be advisable to confine the right of voting for freeholders to the boroughs in which those freeholders were situate. This would simplify the measure. The right of voting for free- hold property where the owner was resident was laken awav, with reference to their county, and why should it not lie taken away from the non- residents Mr. WARBURTON sail I lie should suggest an amendment to the clause, which would give'to free- holders and copyholders Ihe right of voting both for members of boroughs ami counties. He ilid so, as he thought the balance of ( he franchise as the clause stood at present was destroyed.— In answer to a question from Colonel Sibfhorp, Lord ALTIIORP said he saw no reason that the voters for counties should be placed in any other position more or less favour- able than the other voters in the country. Mr. Pit AED thought' that the non- declared plan of the noble lord was not a fair exposition of it af the period of its introduction to the House. After some other remarks, it was understood ( lint ( he Hon. Member's ( Mr. Warhnrton) amendment was nega- tived without a division. The original amendment' was then agreed to. After several verbal amendments, had been. made, Mr. 11. HUGHES moved an amendment fur assimi- lating leaseholders and copyholders in towns to free holders. The house divided— for flic amendment' 1 • against it 187— majority 186. The clause Was then agreed lo. Clause 19, dispensing wifli the payment of the land- tax as a necessary qualification fur county voters was next assented to without remark. Clause 20, relating to registration, was agreed to after some verbal amendments. The Chairman then reported. progress, and. obtained leave to sit again on Tuesday. The House having resumed, some conversation ensued relative to the Election going forward in Dublin, ill the course of which it was wamdy insisted that the Government there was improperly inter fering on behalf of two of tbe candidates. This was strongly denied by Mr. Stanley— The House then adjourned. NI . XT MEETING of llie ATCHAM CRICKET CLUB will take place on TUESDAY NEXT, the' 30th of August instant. SHREWSBURY.

King Leopold returned to Brussels oil Tuesday. All the latest accounts from Paris, and some of them come down to Saturday evening, concur in slating that 30,000 of the French troops are to be immediately withdrawn from Belgium; and the understanding seems to have been universal in the French metropolis that the remaining 20,000, or 15,000, as they are variously estimated, would retire simultaneously with the retirement of the Dutch.

REPORT. " It has been' with much, regret that the Committee, iu several of tlieir last. Annual Reports, have been obliged to call Ihe attention, of the public to a gradual diminution in tbe Hst of Subscribers. They have now, unhappily, a » ain to announce a still greater defalcation in their manners,- which, should it increase, must create considerable alarm fer tile . continuance of the Charity on that same liberal, and useful scale which it has hitherto so successfully cuspfayed'. . " Under these ci'rcirmstaticcs the Committee earnestly renew their appeal to a benevolent public, for a suc- cession of new Patrons in the room of those whose loss they have so much reason'to deplore. '' The Committee venture likewise' again to remind the fl iends of the Charity, that its prosperity must in a great measure depend on the frequent aud vigilant inspection of such of them as may devote'a portion of Iheir tin e to visiting tlie School; a practice which was formerly found to be attended with the most beneficial results," but w hich has unfortunately, of late,- been almost, entirely discontinued. " The Committee have only further to- Wftfess theif earnest hope, that the solicitations.. which ih » y- liSve thus been called upon to make will be promptly attend- ed to. by every well- wisher to the present artd l'uture welfare of their poorer brethren ; that so, by the com- bined exertions of old and new friends of this Charity, Ihe Shrewsbury National School may, under.

Your obedient servant, AMICUS. August 22d, 1831. That particular regulation of the Royal British Bowmen w hich restricted the scene of tlieir festivities to places within a hundred bow- shots of Wrexham having been latterly repealed, several meetings have been recently given in Shropshire; and Sumlorne Castle was fixed upon as the spot where the Royal Prizes were to be shot for on Friday, the 19th instant. No seat in the county could have been more happily situated. Independently of its individual and pic- turesque beauty, it presents a peculiar claim to the patronizing eye of the classic Archer, for it was in a part of this domain, called Battlefield, where the renowned Percy ( that Prince of Archers) fell at the battle of Shrewsbury, a scene immortalized by the pen of our illustrious Shakespeare. The plan of these delightful meetings is too generally known lo need particular description, but it is justly due to the tasteful and excellent arrangements of Mis. Corbet's Bow- Meeting, to allow it a pre- eminent distinction in the annals of Archery. Among the guests and mem- bers we observed Lady Lucy Clive, Lady Emily Graham, Viscountess Feilding, Lady Emily Harding, Lord Hill, Viscount and Viscountess Avotimore, !> ir Edward and Lady Smythe, Hon. Mrs. Kenyon, Mr, Fitzhugh ( President of the Society), Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart. ( Vice- President), Rev. G. Cunliffe ( Se- cretary), Capt. Greville, Lady Kynaston Powell, Hon. II. W. and Hon. E R. B Feilding, Col. and the Hon. Mrs. Leighton, Sir Baldwin Leighton, Hon. H. Crof- ton, Hon. H. Crewe, Sir Robert and Lady Hill, Sir Francis Hill, General Glegg and family, Mr. LLoytl ( Lcaton Knolls) and party, Mr. Mrs. and the Misses Vorke CErthig), Mr. Mrs. and the Misses Sparling ( I'etton), Mr. Mrs. and the Misses Boycott, Mrs. Borough ( Chetwynd Park), Mr Mainwaring ( Oalley Park*, Mr. Norbury, Mr. Parker, & c. & c.& c.; and ( he numbers, consisting of tbe nobility and gentry of Salop and the adjoining counties, amounted to con- siderably more than two hundred. A plenteous and elegant dinner, served up in a long range of tents, was announced by the Band of the Society playing the air of « Oh, the Old English Roast Ileef." To this repast succeedeil numerous loyal, patriotic, and appropriate toasts, interspersed with songs from seve- ral gentlemen, and glees sung by four members of the Shrewsbury Philharmonic Society, thfi* e of whom gave " Non nobis Domine'" iu an imptessive'lfh.' inner. After dinner tbe shooting recommenced, continuing without intermission until sun- set, when the contest having terminated in favour of Miss H. Brooke and Mr. W. Drake, the former was presented by the Pre- sident with his Majesty's gift, viz. a magnificent gold chain, sevigne, and ear- rings of chrysopholite, and the latter, from the same Royal Donor, w ith a pair of massive silver candlesticks.— The following was one of ( lie songs sung on ihis festive occasion. HARK! hark' heard ye the bugle sound? How its wild t ote puts the air ill disorder! Rock, bill, turret, and plain rebound, All the blithe Bowmen are over the border. These, fair Sabrina allures to her groves By the shade of the Percy who nallow'd her shore, Tho' she. still weeps hisfate, British Heroes she loves, And they'll slieW her brave sport like her Archers of yore. Mourn, mourn, Britons of gentle birth, They for whose smile ye had dar'd ev'ry danger,.* Far, far, from the scene of our sylvan mirth; Leave our display to the eye of the stranger. Fill, fill high to our hostess fair ! ,,- i , . Under the tow'rs she erected around her, Fill to lier sons, gallant, manly, and debonair, Life to otVr Archer- band! - health to its founder ! f Fill for our King '. let each member arise; For the Queen !: may the love of tlie nation reward her; To all tbe fair Archers who hope for the prize ; And all hail to the day we pass'd over the border! * Alluding to the absence of Ihe young 1. allies of the Castle. + Sir Foster Cnnlifle, llaronet.

CLAY, HENRY JOHN BARKER Melancholy Wreck of the Rothsay Castle Steam- Packet. FROM THE LIVERPOOL ALBION. ll'ith Additims and Corrections from other Sources. We have, this week, to discharge a most melancholy duty. The shipwreck of the abefve vessel, accompanied as it has been by a dreadful loss of human life, is one of . the most appalling catastrophes which has occurred, of late years, 011 the adjacent coast. Awful as were the circumstances which attended the loss of the Alert and the EarlMoira, sail vessels, several . years ago, those which have accompanied the loss Of the RothSay Castle are still more awful. Above one hundred human be- ings, in the full enjoyment of health and vigour, and most of them in the pursuit of recreation or of pleasure, have becu swept, iii a single itiome'tlt; as it were, out of time into eternity. Of this mblanelioly and heart- rending calamity, which has thrown numerous families into mourning, several accounts, more or less correct, have been published already. The following, wc have reason to believe, will be lound correct in all its mitin particulars. Its general correctness has been verified by orte of the survivors of the dreadful wreck. The Rotlisay Castle, as most of our readers are by this time aware, was one of the steam- packets which ply regularly between this port, Beaumaris, and Bangor. Though twelve years old, she was generally considered, we believe,' seaworthy. She was propelled by one £ ngiu6 only. She was commanded b'y Lieut. Atkinson, who; fre& tt. having been wounded in the head in the course of tlie late war, was subject to much mental ex- citement whenever he drank a few glasses of wine or spirits. The vessel sailed hence for Beaumaris on Wednesday forenoon last. The appointed hour of sail- ing was ten o'clock. It appears, however, that, just before, the time of departure, a carriage, in which were W. M. Foster, Esq. of Regent's Park, London, and liis lady, accompanied by their servant, ( all of whom were rjliiE Creditors of JOSEPH WILCOX, " late of BtACKmiooK, in live Parish of Maer, near Ncwr. astlc- under- Lync, in the County of Stafford Farmer aud Labourer, who was ' discharged front the County Gaol of Stafford on or about the 26th Day of July now last past, are requested lo Meet at the Office of GEORGE HARPER, Solicitor, in Whitchurch, in the County of Salop, ou Friday, the 10th Day of Septem- ber, at Eleven o'Clock in the Forenoon, to approve and direct iu what Manner aud at what Place or Places the Real Estate of the said Insolvent shall be Sold by Pub- lic Auction.

Some difficulty having been experienced in embarking the ringe. the packet was detained for nearly a whole noiir. This delay had, doubtless, some inllueiice in bringing about the awful catastrophe which afterwards occurred. At eleven o'clock the vessel left the Pier- head, crowded with passengers. People who saw them differ as to the number which was on boa id. It seeing probable, however, that the number could not be less than from 100 to 110. ' l'he passengers were chiefly persons from the interior, who had come hither ou their usual summer excursions of pleasure. There were several family parties among thein, as well as several parties from Ihe same towns. One of . the latter class of parties, from Burv, consisted of not less than 26 in- dividuals, male and female. Among the passengers were a number of children, in charge of their parents. The captain, crew, band, Sc. amounted to 15; so that tlieie were not less, perhaps; than 120 or 130 souls on board the ill- fated vessel. The weather was not pnrticuljirly boisteroui at the lime she sailed. When, however, it is recollected that tile severe storm which liad raged in the morning must have agitated the water on the Banks more than usual, ( an American vessel, which attempted, by means of a steam- boat, to put to sea at five iu the morning, having beeu compelled to return to port,) thisdirdumstance will account for the alarm which seems, early in the after- noon, to have seized several of the passengers; and to have prompted thein to urge the captain to return to Live pool. The wind, too, blew strongly from the north- west, and the vessel had to contend with the tide, which began to flow soon after she passed the Rock. These considerations willaocount for the slow progress wlrch a vessel with only one engine^ made' against an adverse wind and tide, without any mismanagement, up o a certain period, on the nart ofher Commander. When the steamer arrived offtlie Floating Light, which is situated about fifteen miles from Liverpool,- it appears that the roughness of the sea. alarmed many of the passengers. One of the survivors stales that Mr. Terry, of Bury, who, with his family, consisting of himself, his wife, their five children, arid servant, was 0: 1 board, being, in common with others, greatly alarm- ed for his own safety and the safety of those dear to him, went down to the cabin where the captain was at dinner, and requested lii in to put back His reply was, " I think there s a d— d deal of fear on board, and very little danger. If we were to put back with passengers, it would never do,— we should have no profit." To another gentleman who urged him to put back, he is reported to have said, very angrily, " I'm not one of those that turn back." He remained in the cabin two whole hours, aud peremptorily refused to comply with the repealed requests made to him by thd more tiifiid of his passengers to return to Liverpool, observing, that if they knew him they would not make the request. It is a painful thing to have to censure a mail who lias lost his life ; but truth compels us to state, that very serious complaints are made by some of the surviving passen- gers of the conduct of Lieutenant Atkinson. Before dinner, we believe, his behaviour was jierfectly unex- ceptionable; but, after he had dined, a Very striking difference was observed in his conduct. He became violent in his manner, and abusive in his language to the men. When anxiously questioned by the pas- sengers as to the progress the vessel was making, and the time at which she was likely to reach her destina- tion, he returned trifling, and frequently very contra- dictory, answers. During the early part of the voyage, he had spoken confidently of being able to reach Beaumaris by seven o'clock ; but the evening wore away, night came on, and the vessel was still a con- siderable distance from the termination of her voyage. It was near twelve o'clock when they arrived at the mouth of the Menai Strait, which is about five miles from Beaumaris. The tide; which had been running out of Ihe strait, and which liad, consequently, for some time previous, retarded the streamer's progress towards her destination, was just on the turn. The vessel, according to the statement of two of the seamen aud 011c of the firemen saved, had got round the buoy on the north end of the Dutchman's Bank, and had roceeded up the river as far as the tower on Puffin i'and, when, all at once, the steam got so low lhat the engine would not keeji her oft her proper course. When asked why there was not steam on, the fireman sa d, that a deal of waler had be'Cti finding its wtty into the vessel all day, a" d that, sortie time before she got into the Strait,- the bilge- pumps were ehoaked. The water 111 the hold then overflowed the coals; so that, in renewing the fires, a deal nf water went in with the coals, slackened the fires, and niaide it impossible to keep the steam up. It was clearly the duty of the fireman fo give notice of this occurrence; but lie set'ins not to have mentioned it to the captain. The vessel, which had evidently come fair into the channel, though there' was 110 light 011 the coast to guide her, now drifted, With the ebb tide and the north- west wind, towards thS Dutchman's Bank, on the north point of ithidll She struck, her bows sticking fast in the sand. It is staled, by the seamen and the fireman above- mentioned, that Lieut. Aikiuson immediately ordered the man at the helm io put the helm a starboard. The man refused to do so;' but put it lo port. The mate, perceiving this, ran aft, took the helm from the man, afud put it to starboard again. In the! mean time, the captain and some of the passengers got the jib up. No doubt he did this intend- ing to wear her round, and bring her bend to tiie north- ward ; bill, in the opinion of nautical met!, 1 it Could not make . the least difference which way her head was turned, as she was on a lee shore, and there was 110 stettm to work her' off. The captain also ordered the passengers first to' run aft, in the hope, by removing Ihe pressure' from the vessel's stelii', to make Ii6r float: this i'. iiling to produce the deSiiefl effect, lie then ordered them to run forward. All the exertions of the captain, the crew, and the passengers united were unavailing. The ill- fated vessel stuck slill faster in Ihe sands,, and it'l gave themselves up for lot. The terror of the passengers became excessive. Several of them urged the c'aptaji to. hoist lights, and lfiake other signals of distress; but it is stated that he positively refused lo do ST, assuring the passengers that there was no danger, and felling them, several times, that the packet was afloat artl doing well, and 011 her way ; when the pas- sengers knew perfectly well that she was sticking fast in the sand, and her caffins rapidly filling with water. Doubtless the unfortunate man was perfectly aware of the imminence of the danger; but we may' charitably suppo'e that he held such language for the purpose of p eventing alarm, which might be fatal. T He alarum be" ' ' locked in each other's arms : whilst parents clung to iheir beloved children; several mothers, it is said, having perished with iheir dear little ones firmly clasped in Iheir arihs. The narrative which we subjoin to this account will show the manner in which many of the devoted pas- sengers deported themselves on the brink of their yawns ing grave. A party of the passengers, about 15 or 20, lowered the Bqat and crowded into it. It was Impossi- ble for any open boat to live in such a sea, even though not overloaded; and she immediately swamped and went to the bottom, with all who hail made tins last hopeless effort for self- preservation. The vessel did not break up for some time after she struck'On the bank. The sea, however, made a com- plete breach over her, sweeping off several ofthe un- fortunate persons on board as the waves broke over the deck. The captain and the mate were among the first who were swept overboard and perished in the deep'. The poop, 011 which were congregated between and 40 of the passengers, was the first part ofthe vessel which gave way. A heavy sea completely separated it from the fore- part of the steamer, whelming the whole of the persons who were upon it in the yawning gulph beneath. The shriek of anguish and of despair which at this instant arose pierced the heart of the firmest individual 011 the wreck. Several ofthe wretch ed people clung to pieces of the wreck, most of whom were washed off by the surge. About eight clung to the rudder alone, some of whom were ultimately saved. At length, af er having beat on the bank for full ari hour and a half, the passengers, meanwhile, dropping off gradually, from exhaustion aud the Violence ot the waves, the remainder of the vessel broke completely up, and the unfortunate survivors at that period 011 the wreck were plunged into the foaming abyss. The pro- vidential and almost miraculous manner in which several of them were saved is detailed in the subjoined list, of the persons rescued frotfl an untimely grave. The following narrative is driwn Up ftom the verWal statement of Mr. James Martin, one of the survivors of the wreck. It is chiefly personal, and refers particu- larly to the circumstances attending the fate of his friend, Mr. Mark Metcalf: scores of individuals were, however, exposed to the same dreadful perils, and perished., under circumstances as awful as those under which that respectable and lamented individual met his death. The narrative will be read with feelings of deep and painful interest. " We were some time in the river before we got tfff, and nothing particular happened during the former part of the voysire, only tlmt it WAS rough, and we were a lotrir time before we passed tlie Ornish,- ad. I was Vsry sffcK during a consider- able part of the voyape; and, 011 passing the Ormshead, Mark came to me and ' James, how do you feel?" 1 replied. ' Better.' He said, ' I have had 110 sickness, but I have a kind of dread or fear U| ton me.' Soon after, we saw Puffin Island, and rejrtleed, continuing to encourage each other, until the vessel struck 011 the bank, about hall'- past 12, P. M. He then said, ' O, . Ism,- p. wliat do you think of tills?' I replied, ' Keep up your courage,- whilst there's life there's hope.' We then, amidst great consternation and confusion among the passengefs, went forward and examined the pumps, wliich we lound were choked and had ceased to work. At this time, many of the pasfcnigers were making speaking trumpets nf their builds and shouting together at the top of their voices, whilst others were eng. iged in ringing the bell ; but no persuasion could induce the Captain to hoist, a, tight at the mast- head. During all this thoutingand confusion, we got to the bow of the vessel, against the anchor, where we knelt down and engaged in prayer, Mark's hand being in mine. He exclaimed, ' O, exercise taith, James!' Afler [ had prayed, Mark then enaaged and wrestled witll the I, oril. His praver was marked by fjond sense and exceeding fervour. By tnis time a great number of females had surrounded us, and a gentleman from Leeds, a member of the Methodist Society, came up to us. Mark had some conversation with this gentleman during Ihe voyage, and now besought him to join with us in prayer, observing--' O, sir, you h^ ve faith,— assist us bv your prayers.' The gentle, man then^ ffefed up a truly sensible and energetic prayer; and thus weI'outumed in prayer and supplication until the bill warks were broken down and the waves were dashing against us. We. tfien roge from our knees; Mark appeared under great ex^ jte. meiit, and said.' O, James, your wife and family # il! nevtr forgive me for taking you away from them 1 O, my poor wile and children ! O, Lord, have merev upon me, anil spare me for the sake of inv poor wife and children !' He ad- di ess d the Ah'iVighty in strong terms, and often in language which truly surprised me.

The bell was hoard, it is said, at Beaumaris; bfit, as there was no light hoisted on the mast of the steamer ( a fatal neg- lect!) those who heard the signal were, of course, ignorant from whence it proceeded. The weather, at this awful moment, was boisterous, htft perfectly clear. The moon, though slightly overcast4 threw consider- able light, on the surrounding objods. Bfit a strong breeze blew from the north- west, the tide began to set in with great strength, and a heaVy sea beat over the bank on wfiich the steam- packet was now firmly and immovably fixCcf. We cannot describe the scene xthieh fallowed. Certain <! fjt « h sonned now to present iiseff lo nil MI hoard, nnd Ihe most nft'eeiin « r scenes were exhibited. The fenuiles, in particular, nitercd the mnsl piercing « ltr: eks : some locked themselves in each others* arms, while others, losing nil self- command, ! « » • e of}* their capo nnd bonnets, in the mildness of despair. A Liverpool pilot, who happened to be in the packet, now raised bis voice and exclaimed, 44 Tt ii all over— we are nil lost! 0 . At those words there was rt universal despairing shrrek. The women nnd children Collected in n knot together, nnd kept embracing ench other, keeping np, all tbe time, tbe most dismal lamentations. When lir^ tl with crying, they lay against each other, w lb their heads reclined, like inanimate bodies. The steward of tbe vessel and bis wife, who Wason board, lashed themselves to the mast, determined to spend iheir last moments in each other's arms. Several husbands and wives seem also lu have met their fate knees, we commenced our starch for* « i place of security, such was to b'e found. Observing several individuals on a plank, wbicb reached across the vessel and rested upon the paddle- boxes on each side, upon this plank I endeavoured to get, and, after some effort, succeeded. I then exhorted Mark to try and do the same ; he made several attempts, but failed through want of strength. lie then got near one of the paddle- boxes, and laid hold of the iron under the plank; there were a great number of persons iu a similar situation, holding on by the iron. I was situated jnSt over. Ii! m,: and had frequent opportunities of conversing with him. Tbe waves wete con- tinually dashing over us with great impetuosity, sweeping away the passengers at every stroke. A short interval of ease occurred, and I looked for my friend i 1 found him! still at his post, clinging to the iron. 1 asked him if he had a firm grip. He answered • Yes; but I am nearly exhausted.' At tbis period, all the passengers who had had previous hold of tbe iron which was under the plank had disappeared, from the violence of the breakers, except my friend Metcalf aud another person. A short time only had elapsed, and 1 saw him carried away by a dreadful wave towards the puddle box, poor Met- calf exclaiming, ' James, I'm afraid it's all over !' I replied, ' O! Mark, Mark! lay hold ofthe paddle- box!' He then attempted to do so, and 1 saw his hand laying hold, when another wave came and swept him right away. ' O! James!' said he, as he was carri » . l into the sea, 4 it's all ovcl• now /' I then saw hi| n throw back his hands over his shoulders, and in great anguwliI exclaimed, * O ! my frieud, my friend, I Shall see lihn no more 1' 1 commended him to God, he disappeared, saw hitri u'o rtfore. " Shortly afterwards, the plank oft which I myself and about twenty other persons were situated gave w. iy, aud we were all precipitated into the deep, in tbe inidst of the breakers. 1 rose to the top of tbe surge, and struck out my arms, in the hope W Irfyiug hold of some floating substance, when I provi- dentially grasped the identical plank by which 1 had just before been launched into the sea. On recovering from the stupor of the moment, I discovered two others who bad hold of tbe same plank ; one of them was without clothes. We were fi'ot long m getting into smoother water, and the tide was taking us on towards Beaumaris. The naked person, after some time floating, disappeared, and shortly afterwards tbe other individual, leaving me alone with the plank. As I was tliUs struggling and floating, 1 bethought me it would be liUich easier for me to get on the nlauk ; 1 ac- cordingly made an effort, and succeeded, afler which I found myself greatly relieved : my chief fear now was that the tide would turn before any orte could perceive me, and that I might thus be cafried back and lost after all. These and similar reflections occupied my mind whilst in this perilous > ituation, when, casting a longing look towards Beaumaris, 1 d< seried two individuals upon a log of wood, floating in the same direction as myself. Presoutly I came in Stght of Beau- maris harbour, could see several boats, and perceived chimneys smoking. A strong hope now spruug up in my breast; and, on looking after my felrow sufferers oh th'e Fog,' I discovered ouly one, the nth^ r having met with a watiry grave. , Now I could distinctly see boats passing to and fro; at a considerable distance, near to Beaumaris 1 shouted, in the hope tbat some one might bear me; and, findiug a small spar with a spike, 1 endeavoured to secure it, and succeeded : to this spike I affixed my handkerchief, waving it over my bead, and shout- ing with all the strength of my lungs. Presently 1 perceived a boat mating towards me, and was satisfied, by the cheers of the boatnien, i| iat my distress was perceived, and tbat relief was at hand, which. I need hardfy say, truly gladdened my heart; Of this I was happily not deceived, for the boat was brought alonpide, and 1 was pulled in, being the second rescued, orf6 having been taken into the boat before me. I then informed the men ofthe individual on th& logf they im- mediately pulled away in the direction pointed out by me, and we secured him, almost in the last stage of human exist- ence. We were then taken to Beaumaris, where we arrived about half past eight, praisfng God for the. wonderful deliver- ance he had thus wrought out for us. To his name be the praise !'* ^ : _ , The heart - rendin^ Cat, astroplie which had taken place on the Dutchman's Banlv was not. known on shore until about four o'clock in the morning, when a man, at Penmon Point, on the Anglesey coast, saw, just above the surface of the water, what appeared like the in'kst a sunken vessel. At first he thought it was the mast of a flat; but lie was soon convinced that it was the chimney pf a Steamer. . YTfthoht the least delay a boat was maniied and rowed to. the spot, when the awful calamity was ascertained. The boat picked up three men alive, and carried them to Beaumaris. It was now about six o'clock. The alarming intelligence was at once spread abroad, and, with a pVoinptitnde thait we are unable to commend as we could wish, scarcely fewer that) twenty boats from Beaunmris hastened to t^ e wreck. Amongst the foremost in this work of c nn passion wa^ > if Richard B. Williams Bulk£ ley,; who, with his land agent, went immediately along tlifc sands to Pentnaen Mawr^ where,: it was supposed, frfosJt of the luggage had been washed ashore, that he might give orders to his tenantry to secure it. Captain Gait, of , the Eclipse, steamer, proceeded in his vessel to PnfTin Island, in order to render all the assistance in his j/ ower to the Survivors. The greatest praise is due to the Beaumaris boatmen for their prompt and un- flinching exertions in saving the lives of eighteen persons; and two others owe their live'£ to Wil- liamson, Esq. of the Campado'ra yacht,- who, the mo ment that heard of fhe calamity, went out with his b'oats, and hid the good fortune to snatch those indi- viduals from a watery grave. The bodies of 38 of the sufferers were washed up in the course of Thursday and Friday. Seven more, we undersandf were washed up in the course of Saturday. The bodies, consisting of those of fnen, women, and children,- wCi' 6 conveyed to Beaumaris. The scene was heart- rending. The* melancholy catastrophe ha$ filled the whole1 town, as well as the country generally, with rief. On Friday th'ornirig A coroner's inqtiest was held Ori tiie bodies that have been found. -..

Mr. Nuttall and Miss Whillaker made up a partV of 26 persons, all from Bury, nnd persuaded theni to visit Wales. It is remarkable, that out of the 20 Mr. Nuttall and Miss Whittaker were the only per- sons saved. When the vessel went to pieces, at half- past one o'clock, Mr, Nuttall, on being carried away, clung instinctively to the first object which presented itself to his grasp, aud found il to con- sist of a portion of ibe wreck, about two and a half yards square, consisting of the rndder- w he « l, and a portion of the timber to which it was attached. Five other persons were also adhering to th « same fragile support, and among these was a boy. son of the helmsman, who had climbed on [ tlr. Nuttall's back, aud fclflng round hi* neck. These six indivi- duals succeeded in picking up other three,' uud afforded them a refuge. Amofig these was Miss Whittaker, of Bury, who was Ctftiglit by Mr. Nuttall by the hair of the head, as she was swept past them, and thus almost miraculously preserved. They re- mained in tbis position, drifting before the wind and tide, until seven o'clock in the . morning \ tW the first four or five hours the tide was Bowing, aud carried them towards laud, bill when it began to ebb, tbey were carried in a contrary direction out to Sea. Their deliverance was thus effected. Hav- ing caught a piece of timber which was floating past them, tbey tied a handkerchief to it, and waved it as a signal, in hopes of being observed. They also shouted as long as they could retain auy com- mand over their voice.!; but, although tbey were now within sight of Beaumaris, they failed for n lofig time to attract the notice of those on shore. At length Miss Whittaker gave up' her flannel petticoat, which, being torn into large strips, was lioisted to tbe top of the stall'; and being by this means at length perceived from the land, tbe life- boat put off < 0' their assistance, aud succeeded in re> cuiug theni from n wntery gratfe. Among the persons thus saved were Mr. John Wilson, of Man- chester, a gentleman from Leeds, William Jones, n Li vet pool pilot, Miss Whittaker, Mr. Ntittall, and the boy who clung to his neck. On arriving at Beaumaris* they were conveyed to the head int., kept by Mr. Brecknell, where the most htimahe attention was paid to litem. They were put to bed, and attended by a medical gentleman, under whose care they speedily recovered from tlie stuie of ex- haustion in which they were found. BROADHURST, Mr. of Shellield.

Tbe latter gen- tleman, on finding tbat the vessel was jkoing to pieces, stripped himself to his shirt, and, on being swept away by the waves, he clung to a piece of \ Vood, part of the wreck. He was not picked up until half- past eight, by which time he bad drifted seven or eight miles to seaward. His deliverers were several persons belonging to a pleasure- boat or schooner, the property,- we believe, of n nephew of Mr. Alderman Wrighj, of tfiil town, ami which was lying at anchor oft* fteauliiaris. Mr. Whit taker, when taken out of the water, had completely lost his eyesight, and, although it was broad day light, he imagined that lie was surrounded by thedarkuess of midnight.

Jibrtion of the community, iii regard to this measure; is now rapidly dissipating ; anil people liegiu to per- ceive that, instead of a benefit, Ihe adoption of the measure would be a real outpouring of Pandora\< box upon the iottntrjl. " The Manchester Chroniclei hitherto one of the most respectable supporters of the measure, now says—" One of the clauses of the Bill, to whiili we most decidedly object, relates to the division of counties, a measure which would at once strike out the aftcieiit landmarks of the king- dom, and produce change in property, connexion'; privilege, and influence, that would amount to little ifanything less than a revolution. We entreat the members of the Government to pause in this design; ere it he too late, for, if We knoW any thing of the spirit which animates the breasts of Englishmen', tin's uncalled for and dangerous innovation will he effec- tually resisted. To another of the propositions, hy W'hicli ari almost universal suffrage tvouhl he intro- duced into Manchester, we can never assent. Tlie operation of voting here, by such an alteration, would lie carried on to " the crack of doom," and the <] uali; y of the constituency vfo'tild be ao$ idly iWfrt- orated iu all large towns that not perhaps half a'- dozen gentlemen could he found in the kingdom who would be willing to represent them in Parliament the S'Cmid time. We know not upon what ground Lor- 1 Althorpe has su'b'mitled this alteration, but we can assure him lhat it viill lie looked upon with great, distrust, if not alarm, hy a majority of the rbspectaMc Inhabitants of this town." The Bf/ siol Journal says—" " the Agitation of the Reform Bill has caused more depression in trade, more stagnation ill commerce, more distress in our manufacturing districts, than the proceedings of any Administration sincc that wliich. originated the reform in onr circulating medium. So true is it, as on* of the most powerful writers and reasoners of th> pre- sent day says, " the cursed currency concern of IS JJ was, after all, the father of the national discontent— discontent has in adl ages been the progenitor of delusio'n— and delusion a 1 tine could ever have given breath and being to such ti minister as the Ourli. un ( Reform) ftill." « Go wherever you wifl, ask everv Commercial Traveller you meet, and he tells you tlut a re- actiuit is taking, place— that trade lias almost come to it stand- still— that tbe people are sick of the very nantc of Refoim— that tbe popular delusion' b passiil<- awsiy— and that the Whigs arc not the men of btisi. riess who can make this nation prosper." f Fritiii the Standard of Monday.] The Morniny Chronicle says that ( hp Public are tired of the " folly and imbecility dl Ministers." The Morning Herald replies, that all of their bill, except that part of it which would disfranchise some of the itiore corrupt boroughs, and give represen- tatives to large towns ( viz except lliat prart whielf was suggested by Sir Richard Vyvyan's resolution, for whifch tlie wise farmers of Cornwall Voted against hiin)' is ai mass of absurdities. The T- nes hints that tire jieopie ought to withdraw their patronage t'fofii the bill since ( he adoption of the Marquis of Clisriilos's amendment; arid what we Tories think of tiie hill and the ministry is well known. ftut it is riot ( lie Morning Clirohiclk only iit-. it con. sidefs { tie ministers to be in danger: The Special. r of yestet- day thinks they are e,- tiled u'ptfu icf turn oi. t at onte.

Il would be a pro- per punishment of the bariii of trimming traitors Who* pretend to support them and the people, tind; when their own interests, real or supposed, for a rtio'ifte'ift interfere', turn round and lietray both." Now we have no cbotCe as to what may be fhe motives sufficient to induce ministers to retire, pro- vided we get rid o'f them. Whether the'y shake themselves off the enftntry as a proper punishment on these unreasonable and ill drilled persons, who having voted for uiriety- nine anomalies and stupidi- ties of the Bill, Were so scrupulous as to deserl them nit. the hnndredt lt— 6' r w hether they do it out of sheer patriotism III promote Ihe public happiness— or any other reasolri whatever, we shall lie perfectly gratified.

On the motion that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on the Reform Bill, Mr. HUMF. rose to move an instruction to tile committee, to make provision for the return to that House of repre- sentatives from certain colonies and other foreign possessions. He regretted that by this motion he should delay the progress of the Reform Bill, but when they found such unexpected difficulties arise as had presented themselves in arranging this great measure, even respecting the internal £ ift! iimsttfH< es of the country, he thought it deserved much reflec- tion and deliberation as to what would be the effects of leaving Ihe large colonial possessions of Ihe empire entirely out of its represeiitaSOn. The honourab'e member proposed that the colonies - hdl'lM be directly represented ; that our possessions in the East Iiieties should return lour members, and that Jamaica, with our olher West India possessions, the North American Colonies; &' e. should return representatives to that House. Mr. LAnotttliF. RE objected to the plan of giving direct representation to the Colonies. Mr. K. DOUGLAS salt!, at present the Colonies by indirect means returned members to that Mouse - he deploreet that Ministers should have introduced thc Hill lhat had now forced upon tSefh the necessity of considering of some new arrangement for Ihe repre- sentation of the colonies, and. he thought the motion now before the House was one of great importance. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not rise for tbe purpose of entering into discussion either upon the principle or the details of the plan proposed by his honourable friend the member for Middlesex. It must, he thought, appear clear to every honourable member that it would he ullerly impossible to graft that plan upon the present bill. He indeed Cririltl hardly conceive his honourable friend had been serioils when lie proposed his instruc- tion, for the committee had lidStt sitting upwards of a month, and if this instruction should be carried il would he utterly impossible to say or think when Ihe bill would be got through. He admiited that the subject was an important one, but it ought to he dis cussed hy itself, and without reference to the Reform Bill. Tbe honourable member w ho had spoken last i, nl lit. > t,.. li.>- 4 i if" Ills' l, nnr.. i l-: l 1,1." friend in tl. f> had used the niufioii of his honourable frieiiet in the only natural way. The honourable member had taken it as tin argument against the provisions of the Reform Bill. Such was the fact, and really, if he had not known that his honourable friend had no such meaning, he should have concluded very differ- ently to what be now did knowing that fact. He wonld not then enter into a discussion upon the subject, certainly important in itself, but he tt'euilil appeal to thc house, and ask whether it was possible to introduce the plan of his honourable friend into the present bill? And if the plan could not be intro- duced, was it not uselessly delaying the progress of the bill to discuss it then? Sir J. MALCOLM thought the honourable member for Middlesex Was entitled to tbe appl a use of thc house and the country for bringing the subject for ward. Under the Reform Bill, India would experi ence an immense loss, and it was absolutely neces- sary, if lhat empire was to be retained, that some compensation should be made. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had in fact admitted the position which he ( Sir J. Malcolm) had before contended for. Under the Reform Bill, India would lie without representatives, arid he certainly had expected, from the admission of the Chancellor of thd Exchequer that some arrangement would have been made to do away with die danger -. fhich wonld result from such being Ihe case. He had no doubt that iri'the re formed House of Commons money and property would have their influence. Of course Ihey would but- their influence Would be directed in a different course to what it hitherto had been. . Persons locally connected with the diffi- rcrit plains' returning mem hers would be required as candidates; antl those who had served abroad, however meritoriously or efficiently, or whatever might be their knowledge of the interests or the wants of oar foreign possessions, would be without a chance. Such wonld ndt be desirable or a safe state of things. He bad seen measures on the brink of being adopted by that house which would have risked the empire of this country iu the east, and which had been stopped only by the timely evidence of men who spoke Willi niilhorily,- lor they spoke upon personal experience. Under tlie Reform Bill there would be 110 such men to assist or to direct Ihe judgment of thc home, and, therefore, it behoved that house lo consider well how it would supply tbe deficiency. He would not say this if the records of the admirable government in India were received as evidence ; hut they were not; they were doubted by many, and derided by some. The government in India required no new checks; it was already restrained by a link of checks more perfect than was imposed upon any other government. There was another point of view in which he found the Reform Bill would produce a most serious effect upon India. The Reform Bill, in his opinion, would do anything rather than give stability to the ministry. Now, if there was one thing upon which more than another depended the preservation of our empire in India, it was upon there being a strong government at home. Perpetual changes in the government of this country vibrated to the very extremities of that • empire, and were likely to produce the worst effects. He said this upon his. own knowledge, and not upon ' Untried theory. He wished to God he could console himself, when he looked upon the many evils of this Reform Bill, with the thought that after it was passed the present government would hold their places. Such, however, he was convinced would nol prove Ihe fact. The additional members for London anil the additional members for the seaports and the manufacturing towns would press so hard upon the administration, that- it - would find it impossible not to abandon India to their views. Upon the great question of the government of India he should he prepared at the proper time to give his opinions. In what be said now be did not mean to anticipate the discussions upon that subject. Upon it be had writ- ten books, as the noble Paymaster of the Forces had upon another subject. But he trusted he should be consistent. Sfr T',. WETHERELI. said that every day that passed strengthened the conviction on bis mind that many of the most urgent supporters of the Reform Bill were among Ihe most strenuous opponents of many of ils principles. He was glad to find that the senseless cry which hud been raised against tlie avowed opponents of the bill was now heard 110 more. Discussions and delay had been complained" of, but during the last week the ( lis missions and the delay had been promoted almost exclusively by some of the most ardent and resolute advocates of the bill. O11 the first occasion Ihe noble lord ( Milton), the member for Northampton " hire, attacked an important principle of the bill; ou the second occasion the lion, fneriiber for Oxford, another zealous supporter of the bill, attacked another important principle of the bill; and now the hou. member for Middlesex eame forward and moved an instruction which the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, if carried, would never let Ihe bill out of committe at all. But respecting Ihe subject upon which the instruction before the house went, he must say that if fhe bill was not to be discussed, nod disposed of in a peity, paltry, and disgraceful manner, but to he entertained with lhat enlarged feeling, and judgment, and philosophy which an entire, complete, and radical subversion of Ihe con- stitution ought to command, then the house was bound fo give il the most serious and the most dis passionate consideration. The hon. member for Taunton had asked how could they { hink of bringing colonial members into that boose? Why," the answ er t6 that wus, that there bad been members for the colonies already indirectly returned to that house, and bad acted virtually aud efficiently as the repre. senlalives of colonial interests. And what he wished to impress upon the house was, that by tbe new Reform Bill such members would in future be excluded from the house, because it closed up for ever those avenues of indirect but virtual repre- sentation. Though he did nof agree in all the positions of the hon. member for Middlesex, he fully coincided with him in thinking that the colonies ought in some manner to be heard by re- presentatives in parliament. The arguments of the lion, member— though he did not mean to say that Ihey established the practicability of hU plan— proved irrefragably the injustice and mischief which must arise from the reform measure ; and more, it proved lhat they ought not to be excluded from their present share in the representation until their interests were otherwise provided for. It was the opinion of a great sttftCsman ( Mr. Burke) lie who to the possession of' enlarged and liberal views united a' hiind bent upon the improve- ment of his country— it was his opinion that the colonies ought to be represented in that house : he at the same time expressed his doubfs as to the practicability of direct representation. But theti it was to be recollected that Mr. Burke spoke of Ihe constitution, not as altered, but as it stood in his time. The question with regard to the opinions of that great man now was, what would in all proba- bility be his opinion at the present day? He bad left his doctrines 011 record. His opinions on abstract principles were for direct colonial repre- sentation, but as the constitution stood he saw practical difficulties which he could not remove, and which, indeed, it was then absolutely necessary to remove, whilst fhe sentiineuts of the colonists were expressed for theni in parliament. In some of the colonies there were legislative assemblies; in others, where none existed, the King in council assumed legislative powers; but in alt cases the pailiament taxed Ihe colonists, not exactly in Ihe sense in which the American colonies were taxed, but by acts of parliament. Their trade was in- directly regulated, nnd all their property affected. Of this there were lately many instances : amongst other, not the most agreeable, reminiscences to the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer, were the Canada Timber and Cape Wine Duties. ( A laugh.) It was true ouch duties did not amount to a tax, and were not collected abroad ; but in substance it came to the sanie thing, for Ihey were raised al home. At all events it was undeniable that the government or parliament at home exercised legis- lative powers over the colonies; and in future, if the new Reform Bill passed into a law, they ( the colonists) would have rib representatives, either directly or indirectly', in the bouse. The repre scntatlon rtf England w ould be lessened by thirty- three members, and most of those were returned for places wliieh were occasionally open to colonial interests. It was well known that there had been in that house for a long time past five, six, or seven members, who assumed to themselves the manage- ment oT the F. ast India interests, aud there were about an equal number who attended to the business f the West Indies, and other colonies were similarly represented. Now the new bill excluded all these members from the house, giving members to Brighton, Cheltenham, and Greenwich, \ Vhile the British possessions in thc East and West Indies, and in North America, were wholly unrepresented. Cheltenham was to have a representative in compli- ment to ils medical springs, and Greenwich 011 aecountofits whitebait, and the right's and liberties of our fellow- subjects in our Indian and other vast possessions abroad were left unheeded. ThiS" was not the only instance in which the Reform Bill operated unfairly : every page of it was filled with levity, inconsistency, and injustice. He could not go the whole way with tbe lion, member for Mid- dlesex, but all the difficulties which now existed ere created by the new bill. One of the great objections made to the motion of the hon. member for Middlesejf'was that the election of members for tile colonies would create a new interest in the house, and give rise to cabals and intrigues. For bis part lie could see nothing less likely than that the several interests of Ihe three great sections of British possessions should unite for any common purpose. He cotild not see any great probability of sucb a coalition between tbe growers of sugar in Ihe East and those of fhe West Indies, nor between the owners of Canada timber and Ihe pro- prietors of ihe teak- wood of India. ( A laugh J— To that objection he did not attach much import- ance, and he believed it was only intended to fill up a passage in ;; h extemporaneous speech. It was also said that colonial representation wa3 not agreeable to Ihe bill. That was perfectly true ; but was it or not the practice of the constitution of late I years to admit it, and had riot the practice been found beneficial? The bill men would not now allow any change in their favourite measure, which was not, as has been stated, susceptible of improve- ment. The first Hill was stereotyped, and as an argument against improvement it was said it could ndt be changed. That might be an argument for the bill- men, but it was no Consideration with those who were determined upon attending carefully to thc progress of the bill and of discussing all its details. It was rib consideration with those who adlttired the Constitution as il stood, who valued it, and who as far as lay iu their power were determined to preserve it. Sir GEORGE STAUNTotf said by tlie Reform BUI many interests would be totally deprived of repre- sentation, and it ought lobe borne in mind what were among the first questions that would come be. fore a reformed parliament. The East India charter and the Bunk charter would be to be reviewed, and how could that be well effected if all authority upon those subjects were to be excluded from lhat house? The country ought to know that it was not only by the house at large that' such questions were discussed, but by committees up stairs. It was in fact by committees up stairs lhat Ihe most important business was transacted. He sought not Ihe protection or the preservation of the East India Company as a corporate body, but fbe maintenance of our empire in India, when he contended that that I country should not be left destitute of representa- tives in that house. Mr. SURGE said it was now made manifest that n future Ihe interests of the colonists could not find representatives in parliament, and he begged llie house to consider whether such interests ought to be thus deserted. He wished Vile house not to look at tbis as a colonial question ; it was one deeply affecting the revenue, the commerce, and Ihe manufactures of the British empire. The mere amount of revenue derived from the colonies, though that amounted to millions, Was one of minor consequence compared lo the benefits which Eng- land derived to her commerce, and more particularly to manufactures, from her colonial possessions, if Ihese were abandoned or injured, what would be- come of the manufactures of England ? Would the foreigner replace the colonist in his tastes or demands for Eualish troods ? In short it was to her colonial possessions that England owed tbe greater part of her wealth and splendour, aye, and of her greatness, and even of her security. It was the colonists who spejiJ their accumulated wealth in England, and to none had tiiey ever yielded in loyalty and attachment to the throne. Sir CHARLES FORBES felt some consolation at observing lhat, though the colonial interests were thrown aside by the bill, Ihey were not neglected in other quarters. If he could find any fault with Ihe speech of the hon. member for Middlesex it was ils extreme moderation, for be had only asked to have four members allowed for a population of 100,000,000 of fellow- subjects in India. Why, if the population principle was applied there, then would India have four times as many members as England. He did not mention this circumstance as wishing io en- courage any such notion, but to shew that the number asked by the hon. member was as small as could be thought of; and 011 leaving them without representatives he thought a great injustice had been done to a vast aud important portion of British possessions. Sir GEORGE MURRAY was happy 16 perceive that so much attention had been given to the dis- cussion of this subject, throughout which it ap- peared that during all the other discussions 011 the Reform Bill the colonial interests had been entirely forgotten. Mr. HUME said he stated in the first part of his observations to the house that he regretted liis motion should delay for oue moment this bill, but he had felt so strongly what Ihe eoloniei required that he could not refrain from pointing it out as a defect in the bill. He was sorry for the delay, but there was 110 foundation for supposing he opposed to the question of reform He had laid belote fh'e committee that which he considered important to the colonies and country at large. The question was then put, and negatived with- out a division. Thc House then went into Committee on the Bill, and after some discussion it was Resolved that the Isle of Wight should send one Member to VaiTiainciit. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The House having gone iuto Committee on the Reform Bill, the 15th clause was taken into con- sideration, and Lord AI liorp stated, that by this clause, it was provided that persons possessing free- holds in boroughs, but not residing there, should vote for the counties in '. tliicll such boroughs were situate. — Colonel DAVIES, aiid' dlber members op- posed the clause, urging that the freeholders whose property was in a borough, should vote for thai borough, and not for the county— After much dis- cussion, the House divided, when Ihe clause was carried in its original form by a majorily of 164 to 124. The I6H1 clause, providing that leaseholders and copyholders of £ 10 a year slVall vote, also excited much discu'ssTon ; and several members urged that' it would open' a door to endless fraud.— The clause was, however, Ultimately carried, aud thc House adjourned. majority in the Chamber? Yet this is the way France is governed. The address of the Chamber of Deputies to the King is Still under discussion, and will be much altered before it be presented to Louis Philip. Whether those alterations will lead to a dissolution of the present ministry is still uncertain; but the general opiniou appears to be that thc existing Cabinet cannot hold together much longer. The adoption of the amendment made by M. Bignon with respect lo Poland, appeared yesterday to be certain, before the lamentable scenes which took place in the Chamber: and it is very probable, as all the journals of to- day except the Debats, and the Journal de Paris, unite in condemning the conduct of the ministry, that the opposition in the house will net lose, but be fortified by the public opinion, and the judgment already pronounced against M. Perier. What ministry can be named in the present state of France with a chance of remaining in power is indeed difficult to imagine, especially as we are still in actual revolution. It is said that the King Leopold will abdicate. This will be a wise step, and fnay lead to the re- establishment of the Pays Bas. But what will the French do ? Bourse, quarter to four. The Bourse has been, during the whole morning, in a state of anxiety and agitation. It is said that England is expected to object to the occupation of Belgium by a French army, but that the French govern'merit is decided on not evacuating that coun- try at present, even if ever, Casimir Perier, jun. has left Paris for London, on a mission relative to this matter. Ten minutes to four. It is just announced lhat the Chamber of Deputies has adopted Ihe proposition of M. Bignoii, but with the word " assurance" instead of the word " certi tude." The minister ought now to retire. fliUscellaneoue Sntelligence, FRANCE, BELGIUM, & c. Paris, August 16. Each day as it passes sliotfs us' more distinctly two facts— that we are still in a state of revolution, and that on the French government not the smallest reli- ance can be placed ; yesterday the proceedings ih the Chamber of Deputies convinced us yet more than ever of the truth of the first of these statements, and to- day the columns of the Moniteur demonstrate in contestibly thc latter. Y'esterday the Chamber was the scene of a parliamentary emeule. The tumult was never greater or more violent in the w- ofst times of the first revolution, and but for thc interference of peace officers, the deputies of France would have proceeded to blows. Y011 will perceive from the most extraordinary elocumenls I inclose, that this parliamentary tumult arose in consequence of M. Casimir Perier having insisted upon his right to speak relative to the proposition of M. Bignon for " assuring the independence of Poland," after the general debate had been terminated and tbe Chamber had resolved to proceed to the vote. The friends of M. Perier, as well as himself, make this claim, by virtue of the 46th article in the charter, which confers on thc Ministers of tbe Crown tbe right of addressing fhe Chambers whenever they shall claim to do so. The enemies of the ministers reply, that such claim must be subject to thc rules of the house, or otherwise that no business could be proceeded with, and no debates concluded, if the ministers had always the right, 011 perceiving that a majority was opposed to them on a question, to avail themselves of their privilege, and speak and debate until the delay desired should be obtained, and tlius the attendance of a further number of mem- bers secured by the ministers for the next sitting. The scenes of yesterday were, however, most afflict- ing. The Chamber of Deputies, never very calm or dignified, became the arena for the display of the worst" passions, and never Was any assembly so self- degraded as by those proceedings. The most gross, vulgar, and violent gestures and language were made use of and adopted. The President of ihe Chamber was insulted. The President of the Council was personally attacked, and one deputy attempted to pull him by the collar. The public in the tribunes joined in the shouts of the deputies, and this legis- lative and representative assembly became a political bear- garden. Nor could even thc aeljournment of the members ill their bureaus produce order. An absence of nearly an hour was not sufficient to re- establish tranquillity, but the president was compelled to declare the sitting adjourned till to- day. What a spectacle for France, for Europe, andfortheworlill Yet just such scenes you mrtst anticipate in the British House of Commons, if a bill shall pass, which, under the pretext of merely granting " reform," is intended to displace the aristocracy of Great Britain, and confer the inestimable blessings of Billingsgate legislators'. Indeed it is quite clear that we are stiH in a staie of revolution. Nor less true is the other fact which J announced at Ihe beginning of this letter, that we cannot place in the French government, or its statements, the smallest degree of confidence. I have in my two last letters called your attention to the false and con- tradictory statements of the Moniteur, relative to the war between Holland antl Belgium, and the inter ference of France, and the Moniletir of yesterday w- as obliged to admit that Ihese statements had been j erroneous, and that there had been a " mistake.'" I But 1 will not let the government so easily off, espe- cially as to- day another falsehood has come to light, which requires explanation an'd a thorough probing, The riew statement of the Moniteur, that the French Charge d'Affaires made the communication on the 7th, instead of the 4th, to the government of tbe Hague does not at all clear it from its embarrassment . Be- cause, if it be true, as alleged by the Moniteur, that the King of HoMand, on learning that the French government would serid an army, promised that his troops should retire; then how comes it that on the 9th the King of Holland terminated the armistice which had been agreed on for three days by Baron Cliasse, and ordered him to re- commence hostilities? Antl bow coriies it, if the King of Holland was so " desirous of not offending France," that although a few hours were sufficient to have given his orders to the Prince of Orange, yet that from the 7th to the 14th, the fighting Continued, even if it yet be terminated, which I very much dojbt. But more than this, the French government on Saturday the 13th, anel Marshal Soult 011 the same day, in order to raise the funds, and thereby secure a few more votes for the address, published in the Moniteur, and then in the Chamber of Deputies, that all hostilities had ceased, and that the troops had retired ; and yet now this morning in the Moniteur is an article which is official, and which announces that Louvain was invested— afterwards was evacuated— that on the 13th the fighting continued, and even up to the present hour we have nothing more certain as to the retreat, than that " an officer of the staff of the Prince of Orange had come to the Marshal, to enter into some agree- ment about the manner of regulating the retrograde movement." Nothing therefore Is certain or sure, except that the Belgians have been put to the rout everywhere, — that Brussels might have been occupied by the Dutch forces in a few hours, if they had thought fit,— that poor King Leopold is without a soldier or a general in whom he can place the smallest reli- ance,— and that a large portion of the Belgians received the Orange colours with transports of joy and gratitude. But for the intervention of France all Belgium would now have quietly submitted to the Dutch forces, and King Leopold would have been a Dutch prisoner, or a refugee in France or England. As the Belgians themselves admit this, we may, therefore, surely ask what right had a French army to enter Belgium, to interfere in a dispute between the King of that country and his rebel subjects; and what- right have they to pre- vent, by ils military occupation, the nation from declaring itself against the present arrangement, which will neither secure to it peace at- li'etjfi'c nor respect abroad? Let thc French army leay. e Bel- gium and you will perceive immediately a strong and decided expression of public opinion against the present dynasty, and the throne of the barri- cades. in conclusion, I cannot but rejoice at the success of the Dutch Protestant forces against the rebel Belgian papists, and 1 cannot but ask what confidence can you place in the French government, which announces in the Moniteur false intelligence, for the purpose of obtaining a rise in the funds for the day, and in order to obtain for the moment n The whole amount of Foreign Wheat entered into the United Kingdom for hoirie consumption itV the present year, to the lith of July, was 1,074,700 quarters from foreign countries, and 72,223 from British possessions abroad.

Waverton, neat Wigton, where he had been attending a sale, for Grainger Horfses, his residence, but having gone iuto a field a short way, he fell, by some mischance, into a hedge gutter, and, from his position ( being almost doubled— his knees and chin touching each other), being a little inebriated, was unable to extricate himself. The free circulation of his blood was, in some degree, prevented, and in the course of the night bis lower extremities becartie morbid and powerless, and in the morning he could not rest himself in the least, nor call oof for assistance. To the pangs of thirst and starvation were shortly added another torment — the flies settling- in great numbers about his mouth and nostrils, whilst the ravens circled around him ill expectancy of their prey, and were, with the greatest difficulty, kept away b^ the feeble waving of one of his hands. Saturday passed in the same horrible way. In the evening a shovVer of rain eame, which somewhat relieved his thirst: and in the course of tbe next day he was found and conveyed home. He recovered a little, and was enabled to give an account of bis sufferings, but after lingering in the most dreadful agonies for four days, be expired on Thursday week .^ Carlisle Journal. GREAT SEIZURE OF SILKS.— Information was a short time ago received by his Majesty's Board of Customs that it was contemplated to smuggle a very large quantity of silks, and the necessary steps were taken to counteract the efforts of Ihe adventurers, who were, it is understood, men in very high repute for extensive dealings in the trade. The movements of certain parties were watched both by land and by water in the neigh- bourhood of the metropolis, and in the several sea- port towns. At length Mr. Donne, an officer of the Customs, who was for some time occupied in the search, received information, iu the early part of last week, that a lodgment of the expected pro- perty had been effected in the city of London, at Ihe houses of some of the first people in the trade. It was not, however, stated that Ihe leading men In the establishment w ere aware that the goods were contraband. Mr. Donne despatched, after having ascertained beyond a doubt that the silks had been warehoused without the payment of the duty, three officers of the excise to three houses, one of which is in Newgate- street, another in a larie near Cheap- side, and the third in a court in Fleet- street. At three o'clock eacb of these officers contrived to lay his hands upon silks of a very valuable description, upon which the duty never had been paid. The valne of the seizure is estimated at not less than £ 10,000. It had been thought proper by the pur- chasers in the first house to take in a little brandy, without going through the usual ceremony of pay- ing the duty, and two kegd of very fine Cognac were found 011 the premises, and carried off by the officers, along with the more valuable goods. The silks were, it has been ascertained, smuggled from France, but no clue has yet been found as to the manner in which they had been landed. They were packed rip witli great care in 24 large cases, which were evidently made in this country, and are such as Manchester goods are usually packed in. Upon being taken to the Ring's warehouses, they were unpacked and examined. The gauzes are of Ihe most beautiful kind. The officers will have the whole of the profits arising from this enormous seizure, the King having some time ago, as appeal s from the order of the Lords of the Trea- sury, issued at tbe commencement of his reign, given up all claim to any advantages arising from seizures of this description. It is said that other extensive seizures will most probably be made very speedily in the port of London, which it is agreed upon all bauds affords more facilities for, aud is of course the more frequent scene of,- smuggling than all the rest of the country. The Thames has been, in consequence of communications received of the contraband trade carried 011 it, more closely watched. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.— On Thursday evening week, a servant girl, who lived as cook at the Bell Inn, Driffield, went to a druggist's shop, and asked for a pound of laudanum, as she said, for a surgeon who was at fhe house. The young man in the shop said, " You must have mistaken the quantity, and mean an ounce." She replied, it perhaps was to be an ounce; and that quantity he sold her. The young man, however, look the precaution of ashing at the inn whether a surgeon was there, and staled the circumstances. No such person being in the house, the family were alarmed, and sought the servant, who was found at her mother's house, about to go to bed, having taken the lauda- num. Four surgeons were soon on t| ie spot; but not one of them possessed a stomach- pump. The girl could not be persuaded to take medicine, as she said she wished to die; and tbe next morning, about nine o'clock, she breathed her last. An inquest was held on the body, anel a verdict of felo de se returned. The body was buried between nine and twelve o'clock on Saturday evening. BEES IN LONDON.— Some of the London citizens keep bees in in hives, however unnatural it may seem to have them in the middle of a great city. A bee amateur, residing in Ilolborn, was able lo ascertain that his own bees went to seek for honey as far as Sydenham Common. He had suspected this to be the case, and satisfied himself that it was so, by throwing flour over his bees as they came from ( he hive iu tbe morning. I11 the course of the same day he discovered bees, as dusty as millers, on Sydenham Common, which is seven miles off. The distance is not greater than in many other instances bees have been known to go iu quest of favourite food; but it is remarkable that Ihey do so, having, for miles, to fly far up iu the smoky atmosphere above tbe houses. SPIRITS AND TEA— There is five limes as much spiritous liquors consumed in England as in France, but there is nearly one hundred times as much wine consumed in France as in England. Nearly three times as much beer is consumed in England as in all France, and a hundred times as many pounds often. The harvest ( now nearly completed) throughout France; is represented as unusually productive. The quality of the grain is also declared to be very fine. The hopes of the vine- growers had received a check. The quantity of wine expected from the approaching vintage will, it was feared, fall short of that of average seasons, but it will be superior in quality to any obtained during several preceding ones. IMPORTANT TO DISSENTING MINISTERS.— Two cases of great importance to dissenting ministers have lately been decided by the King's Bench. They appear in the last number of the reports of lhat court, by Rarnewall and Creswell, vol. 10, p. 718. In both cases the question was, whether a minister; duly elected and placed in possession of the chapel, with a dwelling- house attached to il for his residence, ( the chapel and house being vested in trustees in the usual way, to permit the chapel to be used for the purpose of religious worship,) could be turned out of shell possession by the trustees at a moment's notice ; and it was decided, that such a minister paid no rent for the property, he is only a tenant at will, and is bound to quit on demand.

PORTSMOUTH* AUGUST 13.— His Majesty's ship Eden, 26, Captain W. F. W. Owen, arrived 011 Monday from the South American station; having on board 800,000 dollars on merchants' account, and 120,000 dollars saved from the wreck of the Thetis. The Eden left Rio de Janeiro on Ihe 11th of May, touched at Cape Frio, arrived at Bahia on the 24lh of May, and sailed again on fhe 27th, pro- ceeded to Pernambuco, and quitted that place on the lllh of June. From Rio wc learn that the newly elected President, Cezimbra, had shown considerable ability in directing the affairs of the government, and was spoken of by the Brazilians in the most enthusiastic terms of approbation and respect. The excitement caused by the great change in the political horizon by the abdication of Don Peelro had in a great degree subsided. The principal object of the Brazilians would seem to be not so much to establish any particular form of government as to expel from the couutry all the Portuguese now resident there. To such an extent did they carry their resentment,' that hardly a day passes but some unfortunate Portuguese is assassiu- afed or poisoned. This cruel conduct was tbe more despicable, inasmuch a9 it almost invariably appeared that the murdered person was a man of property, ffnd hence may easily be traced the motive for marking him out as Ihe victim of their licentious and ruffian- like persecution. The Brazilians had determined upon dispensing with the services of alt foreigners, retaining such only as have been engaged in actual conflict with the enemy. At Bahia things had assumed a more calm and pacific character, and the recent disturbances, which appear to have been exaggerated both as to their extent and importance in their operation, had been easily suppressed by the prompt and energetic con- duct of the governor. The following was the dis- position of our squadron when the Eden left :— Seringapatam, Captain Hon. YV. W. Waldegrave, was at Cullao ; Tribune, 46, Captain Duntze, in the Pacific ; Alert, 18, Commander Fitzgerald, gone to the Galapagos Islands, for freight; Lightning, 18, Commander Dickinson, at Cape Frio ; Algerine, 10, Commander Hon. F. F. De Roos, at Montevideo; Clio, 18, Commander OnsloW, gone to Valparaiso. The Druid, 46, Captain Hamilton, had not arrived out. The Tribune wus the next ship for England and would be followed by thc Alert. The arrival of the Eden has given us an opportunity of obtain- ing authentic information of the mortality in that ship, whilst employed on the coast of Africa; aud we are sorry to have to corroborate the melancholy fact of her having lost, between the lst of May aud lst of December, 1829, llo officers and men. Cap- tain Owen, Lieutenant Ivellett, one midshipman, and 12 seamen and marines, are the only survivors of fhe Whole of the officers and ship's company that left England in her. The Eden came into harbour on Thursday, and will be paid off into Ordiuary in the ensuing week. LAWS FOR RELIEF OF THE POOR. The bill presented to the House of Lords by Lorif Kenyon, on Monday, is entitled " An Act to amend the Laws for the Relief of the Poor." The preamble recites the 59th of George III., en- titled " An Act to amend the Laws for the Relief of the Poor," whereby certain powers are given to churchwardens and overseers of the poor to pro- vide land for the employment of the poor, to au ex- tent not exceeding 20 acres. And continues, whereas such limitation to 20 acres liaB been found inconvenient in many parishes, be it enacted, & c. It then proceeds to provide that churchwardens, & e. may provide land to a certain extent for employ- ment of the poor, subject to tbe regulations of the recited act. 2. That churchwardens, & c. may enclose part of waste lands for cultivation, with consent. 3. That power tn hire laud, & c. be extended to guardians, & c., under 22 Geo. III., c. 83. 4. That the provis'ons of the recited act be ex- tended to lands hired, & c., under this act. 5. That no poor and industrious inhabitant of any parish or place to whom any land shall be let which shall or may have been or shall be hired or enclosed under or by virtue of Ihe said recited act, or this act, shall gain a settlement by reason of his renting and occupying or paying parochial taxes for such land, either alone or with auy other land or tenement. AFRICAN DISCOVERY.— ANOTHER. VICTIM.— Most of our home readers are aware that a deep cloud has hung for years over the fate of our countryman, Dr. Dickson, a native of Annan, and a man of very excellent abilities, who, at the request and suggestion of the indefatigable Clapperton, became a fellow- labourer and sufferer in tbe terestiug cause of African discovery. Though his friends had long given him up for lost, still a painful uncertainty enveloped Ihe manner and cir- cumstances of his death- a- a mystery which we are at last enabled to clear up, on the authority of a private letter, written by Mr. George Irvln London, to the deceased's brother, late Provost of Annan. In substance tbe letter runs as follows: " I had a long conversation yesterday with Lander, Ihe African traveller, relative to Ihe fate of poor Dr. Dickson. There is now no doubt that he fell a sacrifice to his own enthusiasm. The villain who was the indirect cause of bis death, was one De Sousa, a Portuguese, and a great slave proprietor. In an unguarded moment, and when about to pro- ceed into tbe interior, he menlioued to this man that one main object of his journey was to put an end to the barbarous traffic iu human flesh. This was sufficient. Ere long he was desired to kiss the point of a poisoned spear by the son of some petty Kington which he drew his sword and stabbed him to the heart. Environed with perils— a devoted victim— all he could do was to die the death of the brave, and it need hardly be added, that he was attacked instantly by tbe Chief's followers and literally cut to pieces."— Dumfries Courier. STOPPING- UP OF PUBLIC FOOT- PATHS.— In a petition presented to Parliament on Wednesday, complaining of Ihe present state of the law, it transpired that as much as £ 800 have, in some instances, been incurred by aggrieved parlies, in making a successful resistance to this monstrous grievance ; and Mr. C. F. Pallmer said, that not jess than seven roads and five footways had been shut up in the course of a very short period in his neighbourhood; that the abuse was notoriously increasing; and that therefore it was the more necessary that it should be rectified. CURIOUS WAGER.— The other day a gentleman at a coffee house in the City laid a wager of five guineas that he would walk the length of Broker's row, Moorfields, without being asked to walk into one of the shops. He then offered the same wager, that immediately after the determination of the first be would walk the ground over again, aud receive an invitation from every broker to inspect his re- pository. To determine the first wager he assumed the appearance of a tax gatherer, with his morocco- backed book open in his left hand, and in bis right a pen, and an ink bottle suspended in his left breast. This wager was won by him. He then resumed his own dress and character, and sallying through the row, with a fair damsel under his arm, his attention to whom bespoke a recent or intended trip to the altar, he received rather a pressing invitation to walk in from every " hero of the chips," and the wager was again determined in his favour. MUSHROOMS.— Many serious, and sometimes fatal, accidents having occurred from eating what arc erroneously deemed mushrooms, a correspondent, who lias been a sufferer, has published the following test whereby to prove them :— To ascertain whether what appear to he mushrooms are so or not, a little salt should be sprinkled on the inner or spongy part. If, in a short time afterwards, they turn yellow, they are a very poisonous kind of fungus; but if black, they are to be looked upon as genuine mushrooms. They should never be eaten without this test, since the best judges may occasionally be deceived. An emn, which was bred at Sir R. Heron's, at Stnbton Hall, near Newark, and the only one of Ihe kind ever bred in England, was lately sent by the honourable baronet as a present to Sir John Thorold, of Syston Park. It stood eleven feet high. On Ihe 2Slh ult. it was dressed for table, and proved of exquisite flavour.— Stamford Herald. WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN ?— It appears by the . Brighton Guardian that this difficult question has been solved by a witness at the Sussex Assizes held at Lewes. The counsel having asked him who he was ? he made fbe following reply, " 1 am not of any pro fession, nor am I a mechanic; so, of course, 1 am a gentleman." HORSES' KEEP.— The high prices at which horses have been fed for several years past, have forced the coach proprietors, carriers, and carters, to study economy in all its branches. Numerous plans have been tried and faileel ; but one that has stood the test of four years' experience may be described, with some confidence in ultimate success. The plan is t » take specified proportions of oat straw and hay, to have them cut with a machine to the 8th or 16th part of an inch in length; they are nicely mixed in the process, and the horses give it a decided preference to hay alone. One man can feed a hundred horses ; the pails or wooden vessels into which thc food is thrown, handful after handful, according to the ap- petite of the horse, are carcfujly washed out twice .1 day, and not the smallest part of the food is lost. Our townsman, Mr. John Laing, proprietor of the splendid new repository ill thc Lothian road, whose experience, skill, and integrity, have been long known to the trade, paid particular attention to this plan when on his late professional visit to London. He called on a coach- proprietor who keeps about 400 horses— he examined tbe mixture, the cutting ma- chine, and the condition of the horses, and he is quite satisfied that they prefer this new species of food to hay alone. — Scotsman. At Lansdown Fair on Wednesday last, the supply of live stock was larger than was ever remembered by the oldest farmer present at the fair. The im- mense quantity of Irish Cattle which was brought thither produced a glut that put a stop to all busi- ness. Many of these were wretchedly poor, and some idea may be formed of them when it is stated that several yearlings were purchased for thirl 1/ shillings a head ! 1 This circumstance, however, completely prevented the sale of the fine Devon- shires, very few of which were even bid for.— Bath Journal. Marlborough- Street.— EXTENSIVE ROBBERY James Robinson was on Wednesday night brought to this office by Clements and Goddard, two of its officers, charged with robbing his employers, Messrs. East, woollen drapers, in Leicester- fields, of property to the amount of upwards of £ 2000, and John Mar- tin, Henry Martin, and Charles Arsill, charged with receiving the same. On searching the lodgings of the prisoner Robinson, No. 8, College street, Chelsea, the officers discovered a cupboard in a room, which they opened, and found it filled with goods, all of which one Of the partners identified as his property. Two coaches were instantly procured and loaded, and several hundred pounds' worth were brought to the office. This discovery led to the apprehension of the other prisoners, and about nine o'clock Goddard ' proceeded to another place, and returned with another coach load. In thc course of the inquiries they found that the prisoner had sold upwards of £ 500 worth of goods to one person, and a large quantity to another, the second person not beinR able to pay Robinson at the time the bill was due, he had arrested him for the amount. The prisoner was to have left his place as that night, intending, as he said, to go to America, which was believed by the Messrs. Easts. The prisoners were all remanded for further examination. Three officers of the American militia, recently convicted of desertion, were sentenced lo have their faces blacked all over, and five rations of beef- iind meal hung about their necks, their coats turned Ihe wrong side out, with the label " desertion" on their backs ; the prisoners to be furnished with wooden swords, and their swords pointed at their backup aud. thus to be drummed round the lines of the camp three limes bareheaded, and then dismissed. According to the latest accounts from Lisbon, thc Don John and another of the Portuguese men- of- war had been given up by the French, who had received from the government of Don Miguel the sum of £ 40,000, the amount demanded. Some other conditions remained to be fulfilled, on the per- formance of which the whole of the captured ships would be given up. The French fleet, with the exception of one or two ships of war, it is expected; have by this time left the Tagus. INSOLENT BEGGAR.— On Thursday week an old man, without legs, who was driving through Twerton in a little vehicle drawn by two hartiesseel dogs, ac- costed a gentleman 011 horseback in the street, begging alms, and not receiving tbe kind of answer he wished, he poured forth such horrid and foul- mouthed abuse as to disturb the peace of the neigh- bourhood. He was therefore locked up in the blind- house, together with his dogs and his carriage. But on the following morning when the officers went to take their prisoner before the magistrates, it was found that the strong locks of the place had yielded to some instrument of the prisoner or of some con- federate, and thc man with his equipage had escaped. This abandoned wretch appears to be about 60 vcars of age, and wears the dress of a sailor. EDUCATION.— To diffuse information among the people, and render them capable of comprehending sound reasoning on public business, was a favourite object of Cecil. I11 contradiction to tbe absurd idea that ignorance is the parent of good order, that men will prove the best subjects when they bestow no thought on their social relations, it was the maxim of this sagacious statesman," that where the people were well taught, the king had ever good obedience of his subjects." Considering Ihe church as the grand channel for the moral as well as religious instruction of tiie people, he earnestly laboured lo fill every ecclesiastical office with able, learned, and active teachers. To impress these sentiments 011 his sovereign as well as his political colleagues, he warned thein that where there wanted a good ministry there were ever bad people : for Ihey that knew not how to serve God, would never obey tha kinar.— Dr. Lur ( liter's Cabinet Cijclopcedia, Vol. XXI. Lives of British Statesmen, Vol. I. Among the European nobility, probably the Marquis of Stafford is Ihe wealthiest individual. His income goes beyond £ 300,000 sterling, England contains 10,000 leagues of roads, 1500 leagues of canals, and 1200 leagues of rail- roads. The territory of France is twice more extensive than that of England, and has only 1500 leagues of roads, 5C0 leagues of canals, aud 40 leagues of tail- roads.
