We will not pretend that the constructing ofa line of bulwarks on the French frontier. is not a manifesta tion Of the distrust whjcli the poVvcrs of Europe en tertained of the moderation' of France: centuries before the C, ingress of Vienna; but we. require some better proof than Sebastiani's ipse dixit in. tbc Chamber of Deputies, that it " has been her, interest and en- deavour to preserve the statu qiq,. established by the treaties of 18I5"- and for. this prettv significant reason: after the Dutch victors have consented to retreat within their o-. vii" precincts,— and. after the Brussels authorities have remonstrated against further occupation,- and after' the cabinet of St. James's have demanded the. evacuation of the Belgic soil by the French troops,— we find, by the official bulletin in tire Monitcur; that detachments of them are to tread upon fhe heels of the Dulch in their retreat, to watch the frontier from the Scheldt to the Meuse, ami to retain possession of the. Netherlands, and the Netherlands' barrier next France,, until— we believe it would puzzle Downing street'to say ti / icn? though not the Moniteur— DOOMSDAX 1 Now, as less prominent warnings are apt to pass ih at one ear and march out at the other, we ace desirous of bespeaking attention to a fact which has . been much less dwelt upon than it merits— the garrisoning of ( he most im- portant fortresses in Belgium by ." foreign invaders.

That such acquisitions as these lire not merely valuable as military positions, but,. in niany other respects, de- serving of being ranked among the " good towns" of the Sovereign of the Freiich, will appear from the brief data'which we now adduce :—.

ATH, which lies some twelve miles north of Mons, was rendered of importance as a military post by Charles V. but owed its strength ( o. the science of Vauban, whom Lewis. XIV. employed to fortify it in the year 1077. It was captured by the French in 1745, and the demolition of its ramparts, which had been coriinienced by them, was completed by Joseph II. to whom it was restored three years afterwards,. Since the peace of 1815, its fortification has beeu effected on a new plan, lt has valuable manufactories pf linen, woollens, Sc. and drives an .' extensive trade in hemp; flax, oil, and cloth. ' The population amounts to 9,000souls and upwards. TOIJRNAY will complete the chain of formidable outworks, protecting the northern frontier of France iu nearly a straight line from Lille to Maluicdi, 011 the Prussian frontier. It is about eleven miles distant from the former, and twice as much west of Monn, and mention of it occurs as fai- back as the age of Ciesar, who captrired it on bis return from an expedition along the Sambre. Ir. was one of the most important towns- fn the French kingdom during the fifth century, became pari of the earldom of Flanders in the ninth, was sold back to France- in 1518, and- united to the Austrian. Netherlands in the middle ofthe eighteenth century. Tournay has again become a fortress of the first order since the expulsion- of Napoleon, antl its position with regard to France rentiers it a place of deep importance both to that country as well as to the Low Countries and Holland. In a commercial point of view, it is of considerable note for its carpet and porcelain manufactories ( tbe'lbrmer of which lias at times given occupation 16 - as many as eight thousand workmen), its jewfltery, glass works, cotton and linen yarns, ribbons, pill manu- factories, and' bonnets, for which latter" it is the Leghorn of the Netherlands. Of'its 21,000 iu- h ibitanls, - fifteen thousand arc of the ' working* class. It is situated 011 Ihe Scheldt;, in a plain of great fertility, which produces grain, flax, and oil in abundance. • The cursory glance which we have now taken, will amply suffice lo show that this question of the Belgian foiiresseff is- ft- ot one of those which can " bc- treated with indifference by any statesman to whom the iudepend euce ot the north of Europe'is an object wortli consideration. Without them there can be 110 security, as against the actual or " adjourned" ambition of France, for either the Netherlands, the United Provinecs, or the vast German lowlands,' extending' from Emderi and Dusseldorf to Berlin and Konig « berg. To" have consigned them to- the hands bf a SovereigVi ' in- capable of maintaining them, was ail act, therefore, of the most desperate folly to- which even R- ouir'. head diplomacy has ever conse'utf'd— an act, ev6ry way. in keeping with the outragoOns precipitancy, which thrust a heretic for accepiuiicc upon Belgian bigotry. Il was as much as saying' to Frttiifce",—. " The chapter of accidents nl- ay oust you froni'Lilto, Co ode, Valenciennes, iMaubeurge, Philippeville, Charlemont, and Givet ; look ye! here are"" the Belgian bulwarks; take them ; we rely Upon your giving 11s a turn, whenever yon may find an opportunity'' But the npjiortiinify an'd , tfte\ nrn will not arrive, before French diploinarfsts are become as arrant simpletons ns the artiflcel- s oT iho Buenos Ayrcan and Dardanelles expeditions.

Every night's discussion of- the Reform ftill Irtih more a fill more lo expose its alisurditics and it* revolutionary fendenev. Its most abley as well as its most violent and abject advocates, are ih absolute despair ot* its success. One day its authors ate in fault — another . day its details are inconsistent.;— now its friends are lukewarm arid indifferent -,— they are betnote 14 optimist*.;"—- they . are like " the pious Mahometan^, quietly resigning themselves to the heaviest visitations of . destiny, and congratulating themselves that matters are no Worse." If iis very principles are Abandoned and defeated, excuses are ready at hand; and though Lord Althorp, with every member of his cabinet voting with him, is left in a minority of upwards of 80, the broken, the annihilated, fhe disfigured and discomfited Bill is to be allowed to proceed, " because it is right to ascer- tain the feelings of its friends and the House;" though, in the roost unequivocal terms, the present time- serving, weak, and degraded Ministry have frequently declared lhat they would stand or fall by " tbe Bill, tbe whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill" Is fate, however, is clearly decided. Neither the Timet hor tire Courier can get up County Meetings again, nr Common flails. Tlie petitions of " Political Unions," and " Trades Unions," are rejected by the House. Their hisulting and unconstitutional language is such that the . House will not sometimes even let it be read, much less suffer it fo be printed. It is plain, i ndecdr that Lord Althorp must either consent to Sir Jtoliert Peel's proposal of a three months' adjourn- ment of the lJilf, fo give time to harmonize and adjust its now disjointed and incongruous clauses, or upon the bringing Dp of the Report from the Com- mitter he must submit fo such defections anil defeats, even from his pledged friends and delegates, as no Minister with a spark of honour iu his breast ever before suffered, wjio had slaked his reputation, and that of his party, upon the success of that favourite object,, which was declared to lie necessary for the upholding and prosperity of his Administration, and the measures it was meant tn carry. There was a |> eriod, perhaps, w hen fhe withdrawal or defeat of the measure might have been attended in some places with serious consequences. The very worst feelings of the populace were roused and set in motion by an incendiary and mercenary press; and delusions fhe most gross were practised by itinerant orators on the peaceable and unwary. The excite- ment is over. Discussion, has exposed the evil tendency of the measure; the passions are cooled ; and thanks ff> r Ihe speeehes of the conservative party in the Senate, and for the cool and dispassionate SI ritings out of it of some nf tlie most talented authors of the day, the Bill has been exposed, with alt the fearful consequences attendant upon its success, and i t has become the execration and the laughing. slock of its very friends and supporters. Owing to the d scussioii which if has undergone, it has now become apparent to the most casual observer, that Ihe present ineasure of reform would he utterly fatal to every intirrest in the country ; tfiat if passed into a law, ItscHVcis would be to render the Hottse of Peers a mere nonentity ; that it would Ultimately he subversive of the monarchy itself, and that the durability of the empire must be shaken to its found ntion ;— that instead of the inequality itf our repre- sentative system, which has so long preserved Hie British Constitution, the Bill is based uport tlie uniformity of representation ;'— ffiat in the choice of representatives, it gives an overwbelniing preponder- ance to population over, property, and that it precludes the mrans of any distinct representation at all of our vast colonial possessions, and their multiform concerns;— that its principles savour so strongly of democracy, that ih its workings and effects it must inevitably tend to debase the aristocracy, to destroy our church establishment, and if it dW not immedi- ately lead to .1 confiscation of the national1 debt; its security must lie shaken, and the public credit" of the nation wi told receive a blow, at home and abroad, which it would be uncertain if it ever could' recover. • LO N DON- S AT U RL> A Y.

According to the German papers, the Cholera is mak- ing rapid progress across the Continent', and has nearly rracHed'the gates of Vienna.— The Austrian Observer states, that in some parts of the kingdom of Hungary disturbances have broken out in consequence of the ineasnres against infection, which had caused great inconvenience. The cholera in approaching nearer to the capita I- on the side of Hungary, ami svmptoms of it are said to be observed at Brock, on tiie Lcptha, and Boliran, only a few leagues from Vienna. If this should prove true, the Emperor and the Imperial Family will probalrty soon leave Baden Ibr the palace al Schonbrunn, where every thing has been prepared for their reception. The mercantile lellers from Panada stale, that Ihe rapid influx of emigrants there from the United Kingdom, excited great'sillprise.

We understand that Ihe Sussex militia are under orders for Ireland.— Brighton ( iazctt'e. On Tuesday night a most important debate took place in the HoWse of Commons, on Mr. It. Gordon's bringing forward certain resolutions founded upon the Keport of fhe Select Committee appointed to try the merits of the late Dublin election petition. The first series of resolutions sprung from the evidence ad- duced before the Committee of the corrupt practices of the agents of the Ixird Mayor and Mr. Fefrin, and of tile creation of a set of fictitious freeholders by Mr. Grattan, a near relative of the Hon. Member for Wicklow. From these resolutions, broifght forward in the manliest anil most gentlemanlike way by the Hon. Member for Cricfclade, his Majesty's Ministers scarcely thought it necessary to dissent, merely dividing npon a resolution, Which, as sub- mitted originally tot he House by the Hon. Motor, would have the effect of obliging the law officers Of the crown to institute criminal proceedings against Ihe poor and misguided individuals, more sinned against than sinning, who had oh fhe occasion of the last election voted for Ihe reform candidates.— tthen, however, lhat part of the case was brought before the notice of the House, which directly Implicated certain persons officially connected with Ihe present government of unduly interfering in the election, to secure the return of the reform or government candidates, ( for these two terms were irrdiscri'. ninatefy used by the witnesses examined before the Commit- tee), the course proceeded in by his Majesty's Minislem was widely different; though assenting t'A the previous resolutions, and by so doing comprising so much of the report as merely went to vitiate tire late return, when the question of the infringement of the rights and privileges ofthe Commons came under discussion, ( hen up rose fhe Right Hon. Secretary of Ireland ( Mr. Stanley), the Attorney- General of Ibe Reform Bill, as he has been facetiously termed by Sir Charles Wetherell, and after a speech which was alone famous for misrepresentation of evidence, and empty declamation, concluded by negativing the resolutions, as far as they went to affect that part of the evidence which criminated the Irish Government of using undue influence in the return of the late members for the city of Dublin. Upon a division at a late hour, he was of course backed by a large majority of delegates, falsely named reformers, many of whom, without even taking the trouble to read the evidence, and others upon the mere assertions of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary of Ireland, wore pleased by their votes to declare, that the evi- dence taken before the Select Committee, upon oath, on this occasion, to use the very words of the Right Hon. Secretary, was weak and frivolous.— See 4th page. In the HOUSE OP COMMONS, on Friday night, the subject of the Irish Yeomanry was again brougnt under discussion, by tbe presentation of petitions from the county of Wexford by Mr. LAMBERT, praying lhat that species of force might be disarmed or remodelled: A warm and personal conversation tfrose in consequence, and many Irish members spoke under great excitement— Mr. O'CONNELL took oc- casion vehemently to declaim against the force in question ;• aud Mr, DAYVSON defended them with equal energy, fir the cdftrse of his speech the latler Hon. Member designated the deputation of Irish members which lately waited upon the Premier as a cabal, and charged them with attempting to beard the government. This drew from Several members who formed a part of it heated and angry replies. Mr. STANLEY attempted to mediate between the conflicting parties, but with not much apparent success. He stated that miiiisters were not prepared to disarm the Yeomanry for Ihe faults of a few members of the corps ; but that if instances of improper conduct were substantiated, prompt and decisive steps Would be takert by the Irish govern ment fo punish them. The petitions were ordered to be printed. " THE BILL J"— Among the acts of intimidation resorted to hy the reformers (!) at the commencement of their job, was that of printing the Parliamentary divisions on " tlrt Bill" iu red and black, as if any honest opponent of " tlie Bill" cared one farthing in What colour his name was printed.— A correspondent fof a provincial Journal has, in consequence, made the following suggestion:—" Now, Mr. Editor,' what think you'of the speculation of priming the Reform Bill, as it was originally brought forward, in black ink, and tn introduce the additions and alteratidhs, when completed' irl the Commons, in' red ink ; and then dedicating this harlequinade to the baWlers for " tlie Bill'; the whole Bill,- and nothing brit tbe Bill," Who hooted down every one who attempted to point out its defects ? 1 rather think it would present an Uniqite in legislative proceedings." Mr, Littleton's Bill for tbe aboHtion of the Truck system has passed the House of Lords, and now only awaits the Royal Assent. Alderman Thompson has got a friend lo keep him in countenance, and now enjoys all the consolation to lie derived from a fellow- sufferer in trouble. On Thursday, his brother- representative, Aid. Venabl was called to account by liis constituents for daring to vote according to his'judgment and his conscience on the Marquis of Chandos's amendment to the clause in the Bill for the Disfranchisement of fhe Yeomanry of England. The culprit Cried craven, and promised not to offend again! We announced on Saturday the return of that staunch loyalist and anti- reformer, Mr." John Jones, for the borough of Carmarthen. This makes the seventh return of anti reformers sift'Ce the exposure of the real merits of the Reform Bill; and Uie sincerity of its contrivers.

Rr FORM BILL.— flour? of Commons.— After debate of three nights ( Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), and several divisions on - amendment*-- brought forward and rejected, llie twenty- Ami clause of the Bill, giving the right , of voting to occupiers'of premises of the annual value of £ 10, wns carried.— On the question that the clause should' form part of the bill, Mr. Fane, IMr. S. Wortley, Mr. t . W. W. Wynn, ami Lord Loughborough warmly protested against the House of Commons, this day ( Saturday) the twenty second clause of the bill was brought forward, which provides that non- resident freemen stall not be permitted to vote in any borougl from which Ihei* residence is more than seven milei distant.— Sir C. Wetherelt, Mr. Cresset! Pelham, Mr. Trevor, and Olher members, opposed tiie disfranchise- ment of any persons entitled to vote, but, on a division, the clause was carried by a majority of 89 to 17. Last night, " the ten- pound clause was finally dis- posed of, but what the ten- pound clause is we shall not in Ihe least attempt to explain—" Davi sumus non ( Edipi,''— and ( Edipus himself would have hard task to extract a meaning from the tissue of contradictions and absurdities of which Ibis clause consists -^ suffice it lo say, that very nearly every one ' who spoke about it— and many spoke— bad a differ- ent view from every other, and that Sir Charles Wetlierell and Sir Edward Sugden, who are surely high authorities, in technical law at least, treated the clause as impossible to be put into Operation; how ever, it was carried, ami in the same way. would have been carried a law for equalizing the tides, or alio lishing the phases of the moon. If, however,, the tenth clause mean- any thing more within the sphere of human legislation than these last- named reforms, it is this, that every man who pays rent daily or yearly, of which ten pounds, or the ." 165th part often pounds respectively, is a divisor, may Cu- ate bona fide voters to the extent of the quotient. As, for example, A pays £ 40 rent— lie can, besides his own vole, carve out of this tenancy a vote each for B and C his sons, and for D his footman ; that is Ihe bouo fidt operation of the clause, according to Ihe glim- mering of meaning which it presents.

The speech of M. Castmir Perier, upon the law of the peerage, lias, together Willi the law, been re- ceived by an extraordinary express this evening. The peerage is to be no longer hereditary; the moral influence of the order, all lhat influence which springs from' ancient renown and ol< l~ as- sociations will be extinguished ; the same kind of homage which is offered here to a Lord Mayor, will be Ihe utmost that a Peer of- France can expect; indeed to destroy all the prestige at station is one of the primary motives for the abolition of an hereditary peerage. The evil is, liou ever,- light, compared with the ' terrible doctrine laid down by Ihe President, as his apology for the law, which Ire proposes avowedly against" his' own will, and against the will of his master and colleagues. It is this,- that the popular impression must be obeyed. This is a plain acknowledgment, not merely that France is to be, but that Traiice is already a pure democracy ; and that fhe formal ' depositaries of power are but' the blind unreason, . iiitr ministers of a rabble will. Woe lo the country in which Knoh doctrines' are the foundation*' of her government; and, alas; woe to her neighbours— the President has taught the French populace that they may curtail the honours of tbe peerage. The lesson comprehends Ihe right to shiver to atoms the crown of the King. He has taught them that he must attend, or rather lead them, in the attack upon their own arislocracy, and he lias given them in this lesson tiie right to call upon him and his master to lead in any aggression upon their neigh hours which caprice shall suggest. Belgium may be formally evacuated this month, 1ml the speech of the President is a solemn pledge that it will be again invaded before many weeks pass over. No such mischievous anti- social doctrines have been broached in Europe during the last 35 years, as may be deduced by direct and inevitable inference from this unhappy speech. The weakness indeed of having first promulgated the doctrine that lawless clamour was to be obeyed, does not belong to M. Casimir Perier; whoever first promulgated that doctrine has to answer for all the calamites which now afflicl the west of Europe, and all tbe far greater calamities that arc behind. It now, more than ever, behoves tbe anti. • revolutionists of all countries lo stand up firmly for the maintenance of order and their ancient institu tions. A Dutch Mail arrived at two o'clock, bnt Ihe papers which il has brought are not of later dates than ( hose previously received.

Such is the Irigh" respect entertained for this amiable and honourable family, that our Wellington friends seem to have found great difficulty iii briirgihg their rejoicings fo ft termination*. Ou Tuesday, live 23d,' there was" a fete On the laWti of Apley Castle, given by the lady of William Charlton, Esff. to the children of the Free Schools, and the gentry aiid tradesmen of the vicinity. Mrs. Charlton received her numerous friends iu the most affable and condescending manner, and " elWiled the warmest expressions of gratitude from them by her unremitting attention fo tli'eir • fMmfMt,. On Ac following day S sinMhtr treat was prepared on the lawn of Ihe Vineyard, but the Wea- ther proving rainy, an adjournment look place to the adjoining Hall, where flic gObd people tripped away,' i " On the light fantastic toe," till a tale hour of the niornin*. A brilliant display of fire- works enlivened the scene ; and the hilarity of the company indulged itself in several appropriate songs composed for the occasion. Public dinners have taken place at three of the principal'inns, all of which have been attended by a most respectable influx of company. Yesterday being fixed" for tli. e final day of public rejoicing, it was determined 16" bring the affair to a conclusion by a grand distribu- tion of beef, mutton, and ale, to the poor of the neighbourhood. An ox was roasted in the Market", Place, and nine others, together with forty sheep and two fat pigs, ornamented with various devices, were carried in procession through the town, attended by a large bodyofthe inhabitants, many of them onliorse- back, with bands of music and appropriate banners. After proceeding to Aplcy Castle, and thence to the Vineyard, testifying their enthusiasm by repeated cheers at both places, the cavalcade returned to Walker- street, and the meat was distributed. Mean- time the bells of the steeple were ringing many a merry peal, flags were flying in all directions, the doorways of the houses were hung with festoons of flowers, triumphal arches decorated the entrance of the town from Apley, and repeated explosions of ' Cannon indicated tlie warm expression of public feel- ing. Indeed, the good feeling of the inhabitants of Wellington evinced itself on this occasion in every possible form. Long life, prosperity, and happiness to this ancient and revered Shropshire family, every- where resounded; and the universal hope was heartily expressed, that Apley Castle might never want a heir of the name of CHARLTON.

The prow is lain Towards the main Of Life's open sea;— may his journey be long; And we, who have seen His voyage begin,— We'll freight him with wishes that Friendship may pay,- We'fl outfit him with riches from Wit's own store, " Aiid toclieer the young sailor this night ou his way,— Here's hip, hip, hurrah ! now he's off from shore. And jiot quite alone,— for a chosen few Arehis shipmates thro' life, where'er he may fm- e, Let liim look to theni well— they're a slippery crew, There's Bacchus to tempt him, and Pleasure & Love. Pleasure's ray To lead him astray, And Love pointing on to his land nf dreams,- Looking bright and fair, While Peril is there ;'— And yet it's a sight tlrat is glowing with bliss, Thp* there's many a shoal round that tempting strand, And his only chance of escape is this— That Prudence is by with the helm in her hand. Or e'en let him land and loiter awhile, In its snimy paths, and each shady grove, Lei him revel and live in the warmth of the. smile That catches its light from the shrine of Love. And tho' he may play While on his way. And on every altar incense fling, There's- a saving light Will lead him aright :— Yes, though he may laugh and gather tbe flowers That grow in his path, and that spring up as fast Asthey'repluck'dby yoiingheartsin Love's ownbow'rs, He'll - eome to- the one true shrine at last. SHREWSBURY RACES. We have, in a subsequent column, inserted a letter addressed to us by John Mytton, Esq. of Ilalston, in wliieh he slates that Shrewsbury Races, this yeaJ*, " will not take place on the usual ground, Bicton " Heath, it being done without any authority or per- " mission*' from him. We publish Mr. Mytton's letter will, regret, not only on account of its contents, but also on aerount of Mr. Mytton himself; inasmuch as it compels us to charge him with a breach of faith towards his " worthy friends in Shropshire," as to whom be expresses so much " regret" that he should inflict upon them this « deprivation." On the 16th of March last, a public meeting was held in Shrewsbury, to thank His Majesty for giving a Plate to be run for at our Races.; at that meeting we were present, and we heard Mr. Ha. zledine state, that he had received a letter ( which he held in his hand) from Mr. Mytton, dated in February last, expressing his wishes for the success of the Races, and giving his permission to use for the ensuing Races those portions of the Race Course, thitt belong, to him, should he continue to be their proprietor, .'! We leave fo Mr. Mytton the task of reconciling his two letters ; but we feel it a duly to Express'our opiuion, that as, by persisting in the resolve an- nounced in his last communication, much injury may be done to the interests of the town, Mr Mytton will do well to cancel a resolution certainly not dictated by a regard for the inhabitants of Shrewsbury and its vicinity, whose feelings must be wounded, as their enjoyments would be obstructed, by the perseverance of Mr. Mytton in tbat course which we hope will not be maintained by liini on the present occasion.

Barrel Flour also brought an advance of Is. to 19. Gd. per 196lbs. Oats were in moderate demand, but no dearer. Since Tuesday there lias been an increased demand for Wheats, and afurther improvement of 2d. to 3d. per quarter has been realized for bonded and free.

RACES,— Another of those extensive - robberies, usually.. occurring at races, or on occasions of a similar description", took place at Burton, on - Wednesday. last. Between three and five o'clock iu the afternoon, during the time the horses/ were running, two or three gentlemen entered the house of Mr. Lees, the . Three Queens' Inn, and proceeding to the dining- room up stairs; " called for brandy and water. The room is situate contiguous to the bed- room of Mr. Lees, in which, locked up in a bureau, he kept his cash. The gentlemen after re- mainingup stairs for upwards of an hour, left the house without any of the family, most of whom1 we're enjoying the races, suspecting the object of their visit. About seven in the evening, however, Mr. Lees, found that his bureau had been opened by means of false keys, and that the whole o. f his cash,' amounting. to upwards of £ 310, had been stolen. Immediate steps were adopted tor the detection and apprehension ofth'e robbers ; 1 and at'length a due. was. obtained to "( he rout taken by tiie gentlemen who had been iti the dining- room during the afternoon : Roe and Wood, the Burton arid Rtigeley NEAR BIRMINGHAM. officers, traced tliem- to Lichfield, and from ( hence to Birmingham,' where the officers arrived, abciut. five o'clock on Thursday morning. Three men answering., the description of the thieves, were observed on, Wed-, nesday evening,- proceeding on the: road at- the/ rate of fifteen miles an hour; one rode in advance ' on horse- back for the purpose of opening tile turnpike gates, and the, other two in a gig. Oil 3ie application of the pursuing"' constables' at our. police- office, Palmer, on hearing their statement, immediately., proceeded to the house of a notorious character, named Charles Deni ham, residing with his mother in Smallbrook- street'. Il was ascertained that he returned, from Bilrton the night before.— and lie . completely. eorresppnded with the description given of one of the men who called for the brandy and waten On examining- his trowsers and boots, they were extremely wet and dirfy, as if the consequence of fast riding W a heavy Toad; in. his pockets were found 17V ' sovereigns. He was im- mediately conveyed to tlie dungeon in. Moor- street, and in the course of the same morning; two of his known companions and suspected associates inV ( lie robbery, named Richard Fitsgera d, and C'hdrtes ( alias Hales- Owen Charley), were likewise tikeri into custody. I'he prisoners, three of our most accomplished flash thieves— were yesterday conveyed lo Barton lor examination • which is expected to take place'on Mon- day next. They will have, we are informed, .( lie benefit of Mr. Edmonds's advice and assistance.

PAUPER SETTLEMENTS— An Act is riOw before Parliament relating to this branch of thc poor laws, which is well deserving the attention of the inhabit- ants df towns generally. It is entitled " a Bill to alter and amend fhe Laws of Settlement, by hiring and service;" and by its provisions, no male person can, after the period of its passing, obtain a. settlement in any parish in England Or Wales, by reason of his being hired as a servant in husbandry, or by reason of any service performed by him in sitch parish, township, or liberty. The Bill also proposes that no male pefson shall acquire any settlement in any parish; place, township, or liberty, | n Eiigland or Wales, the population whereof should be found by the pariiiu mentary census then last taken to exceed lobo persons, by reason of being hired, or having served as a yearly servant to any carpenter; blacksmith, wheelwright, thatclier, brick or tile maker, or agricultural imple- ment maker, in such parish, place; tdWnsllip, or liberty, subsequent to the passing of the said intended act. , The mischievous and rippresive operation of such " tin, act, in nil towns within its scope, must, if it be passed into a law, be obvious to . every one, and we find that the Directors of tlie Worcester House of Industry have agreed upon a petition to the House of ConinioKs againSt the Bill. The petitioners represent to fhe Honourable House : — " That in case the said Bill should pass into a Law', your petitioners and all other the paymasters and inha- bitants of the Parishes Of the City of Worcester, and the Parishes united therewith, will be greatly injured by reason of thegreat umillier of poor your petitioners and other inhabitants will have to maintain; if all male persons are prohibited from gaining settlements by being hired, or serving as servants in husbandry, whereby tbe agricultural Parishes will be benefitted at the expense of Ihe Parishes sitiiate in Cities, Towns, or Boroughs And your petitioners further huinbly submit, that by lite second section of the said intended Jill, the expenses, attending the settlement of Paupefs will be materially increased, as the contending Parishes will have to pro- cure legal evidence to shew whether the parish, town- ship, dr place, in Which tile hiring and service took place, did or did not exceed. 1000. persons, according to the then last Parliamentary census. • Y'onr petitioners therefore humbly pray tliiit. your Honourable HoUse will not allow ( lie said Bill to pass into a Law." . <* A REFORMED PARLIAMENT!

Harty and Perrin.— Among others, Mr. Grattan had manufactured 80 of these sham freeholders by planting their freeholds iu cabbage- garden belonging to him in Coldblow- lane, and which garden scarcely one of them had ever seen; and the parties received a gratuity of £ 2. 10s. each for swearing that they were bona fide free- holders and giving their votes to the Reform Can- didates 1 The subject of this Election was brought before the House of Commons, on Tuesday night, by Mr. GORDON, the Chairman of the Committee, who moved tbe following resolutions :— " That it appeared in evidence laken before a Com- mittee appointed lo inquiie respecting the merits of ' tie petition uf David M'Cleary and others, coniplain- ng of Ihe undue electinn of Sir It. Harty and I., erriu, Esq, to. represent the cily of Dublin in that uuve, that a system prevailed of creating fictitious freeholds in ihe comity of the city of Dublin, for the purpose nf giving the light of voting for members to serve in Parliament. " That it further appeared, that nt the lale election for members lo serve in the present Parliament, bribery and other practices, contrary to the iuw of ttie land, litid been resorted lo hy the candidates, their friends, and agents." These two resolutions were agreed to unani- mously. Mr. GORDON proposed a third resolution, as fol- lows :— " And thnt, therefore, it was the duty of ihe law • Ulcers nf the Crown in Ireland lo prosecute the persons who Were concerned in those transactions." Mr. STANLEY defended the Irish Government; and the ATTORNEY- GENERAL moved an amendment to Mr. Gordon's resolution, as follows:— That the taw Officers of the Crown in Ireland be cted 10 take immediate measures for the purpose of bringing In justice such persons as may have heeu guilty of bribing the voters at the last election." On which an amendment was proposed, to leave out the last words of the resolution, " guilty of bribing tbe voters at the last election," and to add, " concerned, in these illegal and unconstitutional practices;" and 011 the question that the words proposed to be left out stand part of the resolution, the House divided— for tbe resolution of the At- torney- General 224— against it 147— Majority for Ministers 77. Mr. GORDON then moved the following resolu- tion:— ' That it also appeared from evidence which had been taken before the Committee, thatoftieial influence had heen unduly exercised by persons connected with llis Majesty's Government in Ireland in favour of, and with a view to promote Ihe election of Sir R. Ilarty and L.. Perria, Esq. as representatives of the city nf Dublin, and that such interference was a gross violation of the privileges of Ihe House, and 2 contra- vention of the laws of Parliament." Mr. LEFROY said if this resolution was not carried, the House ought to rescind all the resolu- tions tbat stood on its books as to illegal inter- ference at elections.— Mr. C. W. W. WYNN also supported the resolution.— Mr. HUNT said if this resolution was not carried, it was a farce to talk about reform, for the people would cave very little aboat a government that had endeavoured to rule upon such principles ; and if the resolution was lust, he should himself bring the conduct of the Irish Government before tbe House on a specific motion : he would not attack, as their resolutions had, the petty and humbler ' offenders ; but he would proceed agaiust the higher aud the noble game. Mr. STANLEY and Lord UXBRIDGE defended the Iiish Government. On a division the numbers were— for the resolu- tion of Mr. Gordon 06— against it 207— majority for Ministers 141. Among those who voted in the majority were— John Benett ( Wiltshire), " Sir F. Burdctt, J. Camp- bell, E. B. Clive ( Hereford), Right Hon. F. Jeffrey, ( Edinburgh Review), W. Marshall, D. O'Connell, Sir H. Parnell, R. Waitbman, W. Wolryche Whit- more, Mr. J. Wood ( Preston), and Alderman Wood 111 In the minority were— Marquis of Chandos, H. Hunt, Sir R. luglis, Hon. Lloyd Kenyon, J.

If he should succeed in tb's, Ireland will no longer be a place for a Protestant to live in. The Emancipation Bill has had no effect in satisfying the Roman Catholics of Ireland— they are superstitious iu history as well as in religion— they believe that as Roman Catholics they are entitled to supremacy in Ireland— that it was wrested from them by violence, and that whatever conditions may have been made, they have a right, as soon as Ihey have the power, to wrest it back again. Such notions are inculcated in chapels after service— they are urged with deep and mysterious fervour in mid- night meetings, and when the natural wildness of the Irish peasant is excited by drink into ferocious mad- ness, these ideas arc uppermost in his heart and brain, and on he goes to rapine and to slaughter, in the just cause ( as he imagines) of bis religion and bis right. It was thought that Emancipation would put an end to all this; it was supposed that the Roman Catholic clergy and laity, being satisfied of the justice and good feeling of the Legislature towards them, would take pains to disabuse the ignorant of their prejudices, and to turn their natural vehemence to better ends. The Roman Catholics themselves insisted that Ihe sentiment of gratilude which would be felt towards the British Leg slature— the source of all the laws— would be quite sufficient to ensure a ready and even enthusiastic obedience to them. The expectations have turned out to be all vain— the promises hollow and worthless. A more determined animosity towards the British Government exists now than ever did before, coupled with an insolent sense of power, to control a Government whit h has no strength save in the windy antl fleeting approbation of the unreason- ing multitude. The Roman Catholic faction seem now determined fo compel the Government to crush the Protestant yeomanry, and what they will do next, it is more easy to guess than safe to describe. It is time that the parliament should make a. stand against Irish menaces. If it should yield now, Ireland will ere long be tlni scene of rebellion, and nothing less than a Popish Republic will be attempted. , FROM THE STANDARD. It is now asserted authoritatively that Ihe Irish yeomanry are to be disarmed but not disbanded— that is io say, they are to be subject to the control and obloquy of the military system, and of enforcing the laws in a lawless country ; but they are not to have the means of dcfencc usually confided to military men.— The yeomanry are, happily for themselves, a volunteer force, and they will therefore use their own discretion how to act under this arrangement, which would in fact both mark them and tie them as victims for slaughter. It is ridiculous to suppose that any thing is meant by the project hut a virtual disbanding of the force which, upon the confession of ministers themselves, saved Ireland last winter. Tbe dullest amongst them, and, " e'est beaucovp dire,"— cannot expect that the Protestant yeoman will put on his red jacket and walk a mile even, thus marked and still unarmed, through the fastnesses of the savages, the keeping of whom in order is the pretext for summon, ing him abroad. And then the depot of arms is a plan which out Irishes every thing that has been told of Irish blundering. What are the arms for? To arm the Yeomanry, in order that they may keep in order the arms plundering peasantry ; and therefore the Yeomanry and the arms must be kept as carefully apart as fire and combustibles.— Now we^ eg to siig- ' gest a scheme which will be attended with much saving of time and bloodshed ; let the arms be called in at once, and given to Dr. Doyle and Dr. M'Hale, and Priest Burke, of Castlepollard, to arm « Mr. O'Connell's police,"— taking, however, a sufficient guarantee for the safe conduct of every Protestant out of the island. To that we must come at last as we are proceeding. question to him, but allowed him to proceed in his own way, without interruption :— He stated that he became acquainted with the deceased about eight years ago; and was then between 19 and 20 years of age. She was with child by him soon after their intimacy, and about seven years ago the overseers compelled him to marry her. They lived for some time pretty com- fortable, and might have continued to do so but for tbe ill usage be experienced from her relations. They took some household furniture from him which they had previously given him to induce him to marry, and he got but £ 2 from them for the goods. His furniture being gone be went to sea, and he afterwards formed an acquaintance with Ivennard, aud lived with her as man and wife. At that time he was a very young man, and if his wife's friends bad behaved kindly to him, and given him good advice, he should have gone back to live with his wife, and left Kennard ; but they persecuted him, and went to the overseers and magistrates to induce them to make him pay his wife a weekly sum for her maintenance. They did all in their power to make him wretched, and his wife did all she could to destroy his peace of mind, and be determined on being revenged upon them for the ill- treatment he hail experienced. For some time before he committed the nnirder he had deter- mined to induce her to go out with him to walk in some private place, and to assassinate her. He had asked her repeatedly to go out with him, but she always refused to accompany him from her lodgings after dark. When all his efforts to get her out to some secret spot, where he could dispatch her, failed, he resolved upon taking an obscure house in Donkey- row, and under pretence of living again with her there, to inveigle her to that place and put her to death. He pretended to her that he was anxious lo cohabit wilh her again, and she agreed, after making some objection to his removing her boxes and things from her lodging to the house he bad taken. She afterwards accompanied him to the house, without having the least suspicion that he had determined to murder her. After be got her inside the house, he seized her by the throat unawares, and she fell to the ground. He drew her under a chest of drawers, and continued pressing upon her throat with all his force, until he strangled her. When she had ceased struggling he took out his knife and cut her throat. He did not strip tbe body, but, finding tbat he could not carry off the corpse whole, so as to dispose of it in a secret place, he determined to cut it to pieces, to enable him to remove a part at different times. He cut off the bead and divided the limbs with his knife, and cut her in the manner in which the remains of Ihe body were found. ( No idea can be formed of the sensation produced in the minds of tbe magistrates and gentlemen present 011 hearing the dreadful avowal.) . He put the trunk of the deceased and the thighs into a box, and carried thein lo Ihe place ( the Lover's walk) at Preston, where be dug a hole and buried thein. ( He did not allude to the bead and limbs found in the privy.) He was the only person in the house when the mur- der was committed. " He alone did it; he was the guilty person, and no one else." He was prompted to do it froin a feeling of revenge towards his wile and her relations. The magistrates having read the statement to the prisoner, signed it, and told him that he might withdraw the confession, and not sign it, even then, ' f lie thought proper. He replied," No ; it is time I did it," and then took up a pen and signed his name to the paper. He was then removed to his celt in the jail, and observed that his mind was relieved of a great burden. THE MINISTRY. STATE OF IRELAND. At the late election for this city there were four candidates— tbe Lord Mayor ( Mr. Robert Harty) and Mr. Perrin, reformers; and Mr. Shaw and Mr. Moore, anli- reformers. The former were returned. A peti- tion was presented against that return ; and 011 tbe Ist inst. and following days, a Committee of the House of Commons was employed in examining into its merits; when a ease was made out, which, in the language of Mr. Harrison, one of the counsel for the petitioners, is ao monstrous, that it must he difficult to find ils parallel;" and the two members were un- seated. It appears that Baron Tuy 11, Private Secre- tary to the Lord Lieutenant, Captain Hart, Comp- troller to tbe Household, and Mr. M'Cansland. hrother- in- lart to Lord Plnnkct, were, with Lord Plunket's sons, most active on Ihc part of the government, in support of the reform candidates, and persuasions and threats were made use of to secure their return.

This is. a specimen of the evidence relative to the interference of government ( except that Capt. Hart shewed a list of all the tradesmen of the Castle to Mr. Long, upon whom he was to call with a similar message to that delivered to him). Several other witnesses were also examined to prove that gross bribery bad beer, practised by Ihe silling members or their agents; aud that a host of sham freeholders bad In consequence of an invitation from Mr. Stanley, a very numerous meeting of Irish members was held at Lord Althorp's residence in Downing- streef, at twelve o'clock on Thursday. Upon their assembling they were informed by Mr. Stanley that he had asked Hie favour of their attendance in order that he might explain to them the nature and provisions of a bill which he intended to introduce into parliament for the regulation of the Irish yeortianry corps. He did not for a moment wish it to be understood that the proposed bill was a legislative measure which he would have originated for establishing a yeomanry force in Ireland, as it was admitted on all hands not to be the best species of force for tbat country. But it so happened that the force did exist, and it there- fore remained for the government to render it as innocuous as possible. With that view the bill would provide that the arms of the several yeomanry corps should be lodged in district depots, and not remain in the possession of the individual members of each corps. The separate corps were also to be formed into battalions, which battalions were to be under the immediate command of the lord lieutenant of the county to which they belonged. These battalions could only be called out for scrvicc by such lord [ Prom the Standard of Thursday ] The feebleness and disunion of the administration is .110 longer to be . concealed. The ministerial journals themselves are compelled to confess that the Cabinet cannot- go 011 in its present structure; and the Times of tills morning tells us that a modi- fication, excluding Tory principles and Tory men, is indispensable. Who are the men to be turned out in the process of modification it is uot difficult to discover. An Administration which has bungled every thing that it has undertaken— that has manifested the most absolute incapacity in all the capital departments of government— in finance- diplomacy— and in legislation— when it is called upon to make victims, must offer up all its most prominent functionaries : Lord Althorp must die ( politically) for his budget; Lord Palmerston, for his Belgian negociations; Lord J. RuSsell, fur the clumsiness of his 61 clause bill, the reading of a third of which, though not very carefully, has already occupied two months— nearly killing the House of Commons, and exciting a mutiny in tbe fourth estate— the gentlemen of Ihe gallery. Lords Al- thorp, Palmerston, and John Russell, are then to go; aud who are to replace them ? Tories, if tliey do not exclude themselves, are to be excluded by the edict of the Times. Who then are to make up a government with Earl Grey's clear head, and Lord Brougham's steady temper— who are to make up a government which, with such aid, will be able to conduct this vast empire through the present crisis? Mr. O'Connell, Mr. IItune, Mr. Whittle Harvey, Mr. John Wood, and Mr. Shiel— these must constitute the new part of the ministry, accordio_ to the modified plan ; and how long such a ministry will last it is not difficult to guess. lieutenant, and even he, except in cases of emergency j • m out without fMteccUaneotis SntcUigencc. When an English officer was asked, after the battle of Waterloo, how the Belgians fought, he answered, " they fought shy."— In the late en- counters ( we will not call them battles) the Belgians seem to have understood the maxim of that re- nowned warrior, Hudibras— " For, when the fight becomes a chase, He wins the fight who wins the race." An inclination to turn their backs upon their enemies is not new in the military character of the Belgians. General Picton lost his life in a vain endeavour to rally them at Waterloo. was not to he empowered to call them Ibe cspecial command of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. There were oilier arrange- ments as to the internal organization of the corps which it was proposed to carry into effect, anion which, wc are informed, is the abolition of the office of permanent Serjeant; but. we believe tbat the above will be found an analysis of the main objects of tbe bill. Several members at once protested against the contemplated measure, and contended that, instead of removing the present evil of the yeomanry corps, it was calculated to give stability and permanency to tbat force. They bad cxpectcd of his Majesty's government some proposition for gradually reducing fhe yeomanry corps, With a view to their final sup- pression, hilt, to their aslonishniefit, Ihey now fonnd tbat the object was to remodel that force for the purpose of placing it on a permanent footing, and thus perpetuating all the irritation which so obnoxious a force must excite in Ireland.. Lord Althorp and Mr. Stanley disclaimed fhe slightest wish to promote or encourage any ill feeling among Irishmen, their anxious object being to give and secure tranquillity to all classes in that country. At the same time tbey did not see how, consistently with that object, they could at once disembody a force which had existed so long, or how they could bring themselves to give offcnce fo such a large portion of the people of Ireland, as they most certainly would, were they to dismiss the yeomanry corps. Desirous as they were to meet the wishes of the gentlemen present, tliey could not Undertake to accede lo them the extinction of tbe yeomanry force. As, however, such very strong objections were made to the bill which Mr. Stanley had intended to'intro- duce, it was intimated to the meeting that the govern- ment would give the matter further consideration, wilb the view of satisfying all parties, as far as was consistent with the impartial course which, on all occasions, tbe government had pursued. Several members expressed the greatest confidence in Ihe integrity and anxiety df his Majesty's ministers' both as regarded Ireland and the general policy of their government, and regretted tbat upon this particular measure tbey should differ from ministers, who, in other respects, had their most cordial esteem. After some further discussion an understanding was come to, tbat the matter should, for the prisent, be left in the hands of the government, and that 110 member would originate any question upon Ihe subject in parliament until ministers should have the opportunity of giving it full consideration. Before the meeting broke up Mr. Spring Ricc informed them tbat it was in contemplation to improve tbe inland communications in Ireland, and to give additional facility to intercourse between the different parts of the country. This announcement was received with great approbation, and the meeting separated at about half- past two o'clock. FROM THE ALBION. We dare not venture to print tbe ideas which arise in our minds, when we consider the fierce d- termina- tiun of Mr. O'Connell's faction to have the yeomanry IRISH YEOMANRY".— Rumours very generally prevail of an approaching change in the administra- tion. The Reform Bill lias visibly enough impaired the energy of more than one of its supporters, l. ord John RosscM is completely exhausted. For- the last fortnight jie has been very seldom, iu the house. But, the effects of ennui may be elsewhere than in the Commons. Lord Grey was remarked in the House of Lords last evening to look exceedingly ill and depressed in spirits. The report of; Mr. Stanley's resignation has revived. No doubt now exists that he is at issue with Lord Allhorp as to what should be done by the government in re- ference to the yeomanry. There are two suc: cessors to . him spoken of— the one the patriotic patron of fhe infant agriculture, of the Highland crags and the notable opponent of Irish poor laws, Mr. Spring Rice— the other, Mr. Ellice, one of the under secretaries to the Treasury, From all that 1 know of the character of Mr. Ellice, I am per- suaded, that in so far ns it depends upon the good intentions of a subaltern to promote the welfare of Ireland, be is likely to be a valuable servant. When Mr. Stanley's retirement, however, is mere • natter of report, it is premature to discuss the reputation of him, by whom he may be succeeded." — 1) uhlin Morning . Register. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND, & HORRID MUTILATION OF THE CORPSE. Abont three weeks since, a labouring man dis- covered part of a female's dress above the mould, in a copse at Preston, near Brighton, and from Ihe effluvia he suspected it was a body.- Having com- municated bis suspicions to several persons, they agreed to go with him to the place, " to know ail about it." By the use of a spade Ihey exposed to fiew a spectacle the most revolting and appalling, — the thighs of a human being, and the trunk of a female form enclosed in a pair of stays, and wrappep round with a linen garment— the whole in the most putrid state. The news of tbe horrid deed now spread. Inquiry was made, the pattern of the gar- ment corresponding with that of a gown which Celia Holloway was known to have worn, and the ill- treatment she had constantly received from her husband, connected liim in people's minds with the foul deed ; tbe people visited his lodging, where they took into custody a female, Ann Kennard, with whom he had been living, and who represented herself as also being married to hint. Search was made for HoJIoway, and at night he voluntarily delivered himself up to the police authorities. Strict search was then made for the rest of the remains of the poor woman, when the head and the legs, wilb tbe stockings on, were discovered in a privy to which the prisoner had access. Several other circumstances connected the prisoner with the dreadfal crime. The poor woman was the mother of tivo children by the male prisoner, and would have given birth to a third in a few weeks. The Coroner's Inquest found a verdict of wilful murder against tbe husband, who was immediately committed to Horsham Gaol; and on Saturday he made Ihe following voluntary confession.

THE SHEPHERD LORD CLIFFORD.— Some inci- dents in the lives of individuals open a more clear view into the state of England during the calamitous civil wars of York antl Lancaster, than public docu- ments or general history can supply : among these may be numbered the romantic tale of tbe shepherd Lord Clifford. The Cliffords, a martial and potent race of the northern borders, afterwards Earls of Cumberland, had embraced the Lancastrian cause with all the rancour of hereditary feud. John Lord Clifford was killed at the battle of St. Alban's, by Richard Duke of York. At the battle of Wakefield, another John Lord Clifford, avenged the death of his father by tbe destruction of the young Earl of Rut land, tbat Dtike's eldest son ; to say nothing of the slaughter which procured for him in that action the name of " the butcher." At the battle of Towton this interchange of barbarous revenge was closed by tbe death of Lord Clifford and the disappearance of his children. Henry, his eldest son, was then only seven years of age. But Lady Clifford, tbe mother, eluded tbe rigorous inquiry which was made for the children. She then resided at Lonesborough, iri Yorkshire, where she placed her eldest son under the care of a shepherd who had married his nurse., The boy was trained in a shepherd's clothing and habits. Some time after, however, on a rumour prevailing' that he was still alive, the court renewed the jealous search, and his mother removed the faithful shepherd with his family to Cumberland, where be dwelt some- times on the debate- able ground, at other times at Threlkield, near the seat of her second husband. At that place she privately visited her beloved child. On t! e accession of Henry VII. at the age of thirty- one, lie was restored to the honours and estates of his family. Every part of his life was so well fitted to bis outward station, that he was not taught to read, and only learnt to write his name. He built the tower of Barden, which he made his residence by reason of its neighbourhood to the Priory of Bolton ; that he might converse with some of the canons of lhat house who were skilled in astronomy, for which his life as a lonely shepherd had inspired him with a singular affection. Amidst the beautiful scenery of Barden, he is said to have pasted the remainder of his days. His death occurred when he had reached his seventy. second year, after a life, the greater part of which was spent in tbe calm occupations of science antl piety. He distinguished himself as a commander on the field of Flodden ; and he was allied by marriage to the royal blood. It is hard to conceive any struggle more interesting than that of a jealous tyrant searching for infants whom, had he made them captives, he would have won the power of destroying against the perseverance anil ingenuity of a mother's affection employed in guarding her progeny from the vulture.— Mackintosh's England, Vol. 2. SINGULAR VISITATION.— The inhabitants of a little village called Helgay, three miles from Mar- ket Downhain, are once in every three or four years iufested with an incredible number of field mice, which devour their corn of every kind. Last week they repeated their visit. As certain, however, as this visitation happens, a prodigious flight of Norway owls are sure to arrive, and tarry till these little mischievous criminals are totally destroyed by them. The other day the owls made their ap- pearance, to the no small joy of tbe farmers, who pay almost the same veneration to these birds as the Egyptians did io the Ibis. As usual, they executed their business, which tbey seem provi- dentially sent to perform. The vermin are now all devoured, and the owls have taken lo flight.— Country Times. CAUTION.— A11 engraver at Kentish- town, named Whelan, died a few days ago in consequence of having fractured his skull iu the following singular manner: — He was drinking tea, and according to his usual practice, when seated and reading a newspaper, was balancing himself upon the hinder feet of the chair, when he lost his equilibrium, fell backward, and struck his head against a marble slab. THE TELEGRAPH.— Afler the occurrences of tlie last week, if any thing further was required to prove the immense utility of this excellent establish- ment, or the efficient manner in which it is con. ducted, the following circumstances would be more than sufficient :~- On Saturday morning, while it was yet blowing fresh from N. N. E. a brig was observed in distress off West Hoyle. This was immediately communicated to Liverpool, and re- ported iu the public rooms, and a steam boat with Lloyd's agent went to her, and, by an order from the Telegraph- office, signals were made to the different life- boat stations on the coast, for them to proceed instantly to her assistance. By this time the vessel had struck upon Hoyle Bank, and was reported to have been beating very heavily. The life- boat from tbe Point of Ayr and several other boats put off. A Chester Pilot boat was first to reach her, and, soon afterwards, the satisfactory intelligence was announced by Telegraph, that several boats were alongside, including the life- boat ; consequently, all fears for the safety of the crew were allayed. Ihese fears had been more than usually intense, from the melancholy catas- trophe of the Rothsay Castle. The brig was re- ported to be the Berb'ice, of Lynn, from St. Peters, burgh, cargo, hemp and tallow. The crew were brought off in a Hoylake boat, and taken to the Lazarette.— Liverpool Albion. Don Pedro, in one of his late visits to the Opera in London, had a good proof of English independence. Talking, in a somewhat loud tone, with tbe gentlemen who accompanied him, he was admonished by the pit, in a very expressive manner, to be silent.

Mr. Thomas Steel, the original concoctor, we be- lieve, of" the Order of Liberators" in Ireland, is now sojourning within the walls of Banco Regis. " Phy- sician, heal thyself1." On Friday there was a very serious fracas on the moors near Midhope. With a design of keeping off' certain unqualified characters, who in great numbers claim the right of free warren over the Midhope moors, a tent was erected and well garrisoned with armed tenters, and furnished moreover with the requisite materials for a siege— porter, victuals, & c. A knowledge of the existence and object of this pre ventive establishment having reached tbe ears of certain sporting freebooters, they mustered a strong force Of blackguards from Sheffield, and the whole party proceeded to the scene of action at an early hour. The keepers had already taken a few guns from stragglers, when the main body made their ap. pearance, and in a very short time entirely drove off the rightful occupiers of the tent, and possessed themselves of their quarters. The porter barrel, as a munition of war, was broached by firing a shot through the end of it, and fhe besiegers soon exhausted it of its contents.— Sheffield Iris. STATE OF TRADE.— We are sorry to say that a heavy commercial depression prevails throughout the manufacturing districts of the north, affecting, in a like degree, the woollen, linen, cotton, silk, and hard ware branches of industry. We have already alluded to certain failures in our immediate vicinity ; and others are announced in more distant towns. The universal complaint is, that "- there is little doing, and that little at so small a return that it can scarcely be called profit." At Manchester, business is exceed- ingly dull. In Liverpool, we are told by a journal published there on Tuesday, that " trade is at present very unsatisfactory;" that " the arrival of almost all kinds of produce have of late been immense, whilst the demand for them is very dull;" but private letters speak in stilt more gloomy terms. There are some few among us who affect to deny the influence of the issues of the Bank of England upon the commerce of the country. Now let us look to the parliamentary returns. We find that m the first seven months of the year 1830, the highest amount of Bank of England paper rin circulation' was £ 22,612,106; this was on tbe ailli . of July in that year. From that date a gradual diminution took place, till on the 16th of June, lf5af, we find the Bank's issues no higher than £ 17,449,591, a difference of no less than £ 5,162,515. Let any one conversant with the state of general trade, past and present, look at these periods with reference to commercial transactions, and he will need no argu- ment to convince him that the favourable movement which was so perceptible last summer and autumn correspond precisely with the amount of Bank of England paper ; and that as that amount was di- minished, for reasons affecting the establishment rather than the British public, trade fell off", prices declined, and profits became smaller and more pre- carious. Weare certain that England owes a, great proportion of its recent " griefs," to its monetary system ; and that if the system be persevered in, serious difficulties will continue to be experienced in every branch of commerce, in spite of the Reform Bill, or anything that the wisdom of a Whig or any other ministry can devise.— I. ceds Intelligencer. The following is a specimen of the state of fratle last week in the metropolis— its authority will not, wc suppose, be doubted, when we find it among the leading articles of one of the most respectable as well as staunch of the hebdomadal Prints that advocate the Reform Bill: - " Notwithstanding the late Session of Parliament and the crowded state of the metropolis, at this period of the year, we believe that the ordinary course of trade and business in London has never been so bad. The great channels of. popular employment are almost dry ; building has been at a stand for a long time ; and if we except the improvements which are pushed on by public money, namely, those in the Strand, there is little or no call for labour . and industry among the operative classes. The trades most conversant with personal ornament and decoration, notwithstanding the constant levees and drawing- rooms, have been com- pletely stagnant during the: last 3 months— Jewellers, Silversmiths, Mercers, and all classes, complain— but the evil most observed is the hoarding of the precious metals, and the contracted expenditure of the nobility and gentry. We look forward to better times; but there are few promises or indications at present."—- Bell's Messenger, August 8. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.— During the night of Tuesday, some experienced thieves, having first obtained an entrance into an unin- habited house in Castle- street, Whitecbapel, bored a large hole through a thick brick wall, and . by that means got into the back premises of Mr. M'Ctay, an extensive oilman, whose shop is in High street, Whitecliapel. The burglars proceeded through the warehouses to the counting- house, when they forced open the clerk's desk, and rifled two cash- boxes of their contents, which consisted of upwards of £ 700 in bills and drafts, ten pounds in silver, five pounds in copper, and £ 85 in Bank of England notes, with which they got clear off". Information of the cir- cumstance was 011 Wednesday morning given to Mr. Miller, the chief constable at Lambelh- strect police- office, and he at once dispatched Prendergast, an active officer of that establishment, to make the necessary examination of the premises, and, if pos- sible, to trace out the depredators. RAMSGATE, August 23.— A melancholy occur- rence took place here yesterday. Mr. William Nicholson, of Dowgate hill, London, solicitor, who had resided in Ramsgate for a few days with his family, went to bathe between nine and ten o'clock, when he unfortunately got out of his depth. On being award of his situation he called out for help ; but the sea being very rough, some time elapsed before any assistance could be tendered to him. William Christian ( in the employ of Mr. Miller, shipwright,) plunged into the waves and caught hold of him, hoping to be able to keep him above water until the arrival of tbe life- boat, which had put off as soon as alarm was given ; but being then in a depth of twelve feet, be was reluctantly com- pelled to let him go, or his own life might have been sacrificed to his humanity. The unfortunate gentleman sank for the last time, and was not found until more than an hour had elapsed, when his dead body was washed ashore. By express we learn lhat on Tuesday last Mar- shal Gerard had received orders to evacuate Belgium with his whole army. ' This is, wc presume, the prelude to a general arrangement of Belgian affairs. The King of Holland has placed himself in a far better position for commanding attention to his just claims by the spirited step which he has lately taken ; and the Belgians, covered as they are with the ridicule and contempt of all Europe, must lower their arrogant tone. It is, however, amusing to see them, in one of tbe subjoined articles, dated Ghent, laying claims to portions of territory " by the right of the revolution," i. c. of arms, after it has been so conspicuously proved that they cannot keep them from the Dotch. The King of Belgium is abont to establish diplo- matic relations with all the European powers. Some of the correspondents of the Morning Papers inform us, that French and English parties have already sprung into existence in Brussels, aud are endeavouring to obtain tbe favour of the King. We confess that it appears to us of little conse- quence how we stand with the court of Belgium. The policy lately pursued in the affairs of the Netherlands has put Flanders into the hands of France, whenever she Wishes to " round her terri- tory," according to the counsel of Gen. Lanrarque, unless she be prevented by a general war. Such is the price we pay for honour and the independence of the brave Edges. The accounts from Lisbon to tbe 30th ult. clearly indicate that a crisis is at hand. Don Miguel has shut himself up in his palace at Queluz, with a guard of about 3,000 men, who comprise all upon whom he supposes lie can rely for protection. He has forbidden the Council to meet on account of the unwillingness of some of its members to second his tyrannical views; and in the short space of a fort- night immediately preceding these accounts, more than one thousand additional victims had been- immured in his dungeons. At Lisbon a con. iderable number of troops had been assembled, but they were of the most incongruous description, and continual quarrels took place between the regular soldiers and the royalist volunteers. The Usurper had ordered a levy of all persons capable of bearing arms above the age of sixteen ; this measure, although it may increase his numerical force, must expose him to great danger, as the levy will necessary include many unfavourable to hiscause. The greater part of the Frenchsquadron remained in the Tagus. Five ships out of the eleven, however, have sailed ; the reason of the protracted stay was a reference of some points of dispute to the French government.— The account of the taking of St. Michael's by the troops of the Portuguese Regency ( acting in the name of Donna Maria), has been for-> warded to Don Pedrq, antl it will probably hasten hi* designs on . Portugal, at the same time that it will promote the raising of the loan, without which he cannot prosecute his views. By the fall of this island the Portuguese Regency will be able to send'nearly 6000 troops against Portugal, or, perhaps, in the first instance against Madeira. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Clauses of the Reform Bill underwent discussion on Wednesday and Thurs- day. Ministers, as we- have stated, were defeated in a division arising out of the latter; and an addition has been made, on the motion of the Marquis of Chandos, to the county constituency of the kingdom by the addition of persons occupying and farming, on their own account, land at a rent not less than £ 50 per annum, although without any specific'tenure. Liverpool and its vicinity were visited, at an early hour on Wednesday morning, by one of the most tremendous falls of rain which has occurred, of late years, in that neighbourhood, tt is said, by persons who witnessed the memorable flood which took place in tbe year 1789, when the wards of the Infirmary were fitted up for the reception of the poor, who hail been driven in despair from their wretched habitations, that the recent flood exceeded even that in the incon venience to persons and the destruction to . prdp'erty which it has caused, particularly ih the lower districts of the town. FATAI. ACCIDENT FROM THROWING STONES.—• On Monday, the 1st instant, two boys, about fourteen years of age each, meeting in New- street, near to the top of Worcester- street, had, in passing each other, some angry words, antl when at a little distance the one taking up a stone threw it at the other, which, hitting him upon the temple, caused his death in less than four hours. The boy so throwing the stone has been imprisoned ever since, and will take his trial at the next Assizes; but taking his youth and the length of time intervening into consideration, the Magistrates on Thursday last took bail for his appearance, tbe afflicted parent of the deceased boy humanely con- curring in the measure. We insert this as a caution to youth in general, in the hope that it may irrduce them to abstain from such a practice.— Birmingham Gazette. In tbe Court of Chancery on Saturdny, the Lord Chancellor stated that Miss • Wellesley • had been brought within the jurisdiction of the Court, and would be speedily restored to the custody of her guardians. The Masters Wellesley, his Lordship also intimated, would likewise be shortly forthcom ing. When this was done Mr. Welfesley would of course be at liberty to make any application he thought proper as to his discharge — Mr. Wellesley has since been discharged from his imprisonment in the Fleet. HINT FOR LOVERS!— BY Mrs. C. Hall.— If a youth is wooingly disposed towards any damsel, as he values bis happiness, let him follow my advice; call on the lady when she least expects him, ami fake note of the appearance of all that is under her con- troll Observe if the shoe fits neatly— if the gloves are clean, and tbe hair well polished. And 1 would forgive a man for breaking off an engagement if be discovered a greasy novel bid away Under the cushion of a sofa, or a bole in the garniture of the pret- tiest foot in the world. Slovenliness will ever ' be avoided by a well- regulated mind, as would a pesti- lence. A woman cannot be always what is called dressed, particularly one in middling or humble life, where her duty, and it is consequently to be hoped her pleasure, lies in superintending and assisting in all domestic matters; but she may be always neat,— well appointed. And as certainly as a virtuous woman is a crown of glory to her husband, so surely is a slovenly one a crown of thorns. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Thursday afternoon an inquest was Holden at the sign of the Dog and Partridge, Bow, before Mr. Baker, on view of the body of Mr. John William Clapham, aged 52 years, a most respectable trades- man at that place, who came to his death in the following extraordinary and distressing manner; Mr. Wallace, a surgeon, residing at Bow, stated tbat he had known the deceased for many years, and had attended him frequently, he being subject to epileptic fits. On Monday afternoon he ( Mr. W.) called lu pay the deceased a friendly visit, and while they were sitting in his parlour, conversing jocularly to- gether, he declared that he had not been so well for some years before as be was then. In a moment afterwards, however, he fell from his chair against a cupboard, antl his head coming with some force against one of the squares of glass passed through it. He ( Mr. Wallace) removed him from this situation, and he continued dreadfully convulsed for about ten minutes, with blood flowing most copiously from the left side of his head, when he expired. lie instantly examined the part from which the blood bad flown so rapidly, and found a wound of about two inches iu length and four in depth under the left ear, and not only tbe carotid artery but the jugular vein com- pletely severed. The wouhd be found to have been inflicted by a sharp and pointed piece of glass, which remained unbroken in the lower part of the square of glass through which the bead of tbe deceased bad un- fortunately and accidentally fallen, and was the cause of his death. The jury expressed themselves satis- fied with the evidence of Mr. Wallace, and unanim- ously returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
