For twenty years I had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my aims, legs, nnd back of my neck, attended with the most intolerable itching; and smarting.— 1 tried various remedies, and had the ad vice of Medical Men in this City, but all to no purpose: the disease increased to such a degree as lo destroy my rest at night, m appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery. Being- recommended to give your Ant;, scoibutic Diops a trial, I purchased a small bottle from Mr. F. divards, Druggist, of ibis City, and alter taking Five Small Bottles, lt> my great astonishment, as well as that of my family, the complaint was entirely erad' cated and 1 am now able to follow my business, which before I was incapable of attending to..

R. FISHER, Clerk to the Trustees. N ewport, August 21,1831. CHELTENHAM. FOR ABSOLUTE SALE. TBIKX. ESTAINE HOUSE- Oil the Shirts of the Town, and on the Bath Road, the most distinguished Freehold Mansion in this admired Neighbourhood, with corresponding Offices of every Description, and its admired Grounds, completed very recently; in extraordin- ary good Taste, at an Outlay of nearly £ 100,000, by James Robert Scott, Esq. MR. GEORGE ROBINS AS the honour to announce, that he is directed bv the Trustees to offer for unre- stricted competition, on the Premises, at THIIII. RSTAINR MANSION, on Thursday, ihe 29lh of September, at Oue, ihe splendid FREEHOLD MANSION AND OFFICES, CALLEO THIRLESTAINE HOUSE, on the confines of Cheltenham, erected during the Inst seven years, in a manner worthy of imitation, in- asmuch as substantiality is. combined with the happiest efforts of the classic school. It is modelled upon the lonie order of architecture. The vestibule is decorated with the finest examples of the Grecian fluted Ionic columns, with all the purest originalities, after the order of the Temple of Bacchus, at Teos. It presents a most imposing front, ornamented by colossal columns f the pure Bath stone. The windows are of the trg- esi ptutes of glass fitted in solid mahogany. The oilier front is on a moderated scale, an imitation of KAGLEY HALL, the SEAT of tbe MARQUIS of HERTFORD. Of the interior, a lengthened description would be hardly adequate to do it justice, and the usual confine of an advertisement absolutely prohibits it. In pursu- ing the pleasant task of giving only a faint outline, » t may be well observed that nearly ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS HAVE BEEN EXPENDED on its COMPLETION, which simple fact will make it manifest that it is THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THIS HIGHLY POPULAR WATERING PLACE; , what may be better understood, is tbe principal lion of the place, where little hundreds annually congregate, and which no person of acknowledged taste fails to visit. It is, in fact, worthy of THE REPOSE OF ROYALTY, and would be the only suitable abode for HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY, ihe very probable event of his honouring l\ iis town by his august presence. Returning to tbe subject in its internal accommodation, it may be observed, that the grand niite of rooms would lose nothing by c parison with the. most renowned Mansion in England. The infinite taste which pervades the whole is so per- fect as to appear to require ocular demonstration to confirm it; the. rooms are five iu number, and as they communicate with each other by massive double doors, the effect, when all are open, is uot easily described, and the windows, composed of plates of glass of unusually large dimensions, necessarily add to the delightful illusion. The bed chambers, and those of secondary class, are almost multitudinous, and perfectly harmonise with the rest. The domestic arrangement is all that can be desired, while the taste and singular sty le of the kitchen and cellars ( which iu other mansions rarely require or deserve a separate commendation) may he assimilated with all du defeieiice, yet equal confidence, to those ofthe PAVILION AT BRIGHTON. The range of the bins, formed of ponderous stone, are forty, five in number, each intended to hold one pipe of wine ; adjoining is a depot for eighteen pipes in wood; and there is a large outward cellar, the temperature excellent, aud the whole thoroughly dry. THE COURT YARD AND OFFICES are qui » e detached, and present a building uot a little refreshing to behold as in contradistinction to any of its compeers of modern date. A drawing of this fine building, taken for the Sporting Gazette, will be lithographed, aud accompany the printed p- uticulars, and a description of the stables ( which this respectable work thought of sufficient im- portance to give in a separate number) will therein be more particularly described ; it need only be observed, they leave all that the humble composer of this hasty sketch has seen at an immeasurable distance. The Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, adorned bv a conservatory and grapery, are resplendent in American plants and flowering shrubs. Two lodge gates iu good taste complete the coup d'ceil. To conclude : if there be any who tuny think the picture, so imperfectly described, to be at all over- charged, they are respectfully, but earnestly, invited to seek ocular demonstration. Mr. ROBINS is exceedingly anxious to convey to the public a knowledge of the important fact thai the Trustees have directed him to sell this unequalled Mansion, at anv sum that may be offered by PUBLIC COMPETITION: and on the same and following day will be Sold un- rest? i vedly, the SERVICE OF SPLENDID SILVER PLATE, from the Magasin of Rutidell & Co. It includes every thing that may be considered useful as well as decora- live— exceedingly massive — in the last fashion— tiie workmanship quite elaborate. THE CHINA AND GLASS are really splendid ; in the former it may be visible how much has heen accomplished by native talent, and ils evident superiority ( as it regards ihe painting) over the French manufacture. The materiel of the kitchen has never beeu in use, and fears not a com- parison auy where. THE MISCELLANIES, including the Library of Books, the Indian Gong, a modern travelling Chariot, with imperial ; a wardrobe of very fine Table and Bed Linen ; THE GRAND PAINTED WINDOW, representing Aurora, by Collins; the range of rose- wood bookcases ; fine whole length figures of Hvgeia and Pomona, executed by P.

Thursday being the day appointed for the Corona- tion of thCir Majesties, tlie metropolis hadan animated appearance almost from the commencement of day- break. The artillery commenced firing at five in the morning, and at an early hour numbers of persons were seen pouring in different directions towards the great focus of attraction, Westminster Abbey; and much interest was excited in the neighbourhood of Parliament- street,- where numbers of seats had been creeled for the accommodation of the public. A great number of persons, notwithstanding the coldness of llie morning, were seated so early as five o'clock. By six o'clock the interior of the Abbey afforded a spectacle well worthy the august ceremony by which this day was to be distinguished. In every part of it, and even along the grey pillars, galleries had been erected, and these were filled by company dressed in the most splendid style. About eight o'clock the Peers and Peeresses began fo arrive. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, & c. arrived at Ihe Abbey about nine o'clock. At twenty minutes before eleven oTclock a discharge of artillery announced that his Majesty had quilted fhe Palace. The yard of the Palace was surrounded by elegantly dressed females. The Royal carriage was preceded by several others. His Majesty sat bare- headed, with a high ruff round his neck, and appeared remarkably Well. Her Majesty sat by his side, but rather higher, and wore a crown of pearls. As the carriages passed, the bands which had been previously stationed in the line of procession played After the service, a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a quart of ale, were given to each of one hundred I of Chichester, a man beloVcd in his diocese, and long j " God save the King."

The deceased was a member of the Privy Council, and was one of tlie few Whigs who accepted office under the Duke of Wellington, in whose administration lie- was Paymaster of the Forces, and with whom, at the period when tbe vote of the House of Coftimons on ( he pension list dissolved lhat a'dniinistration, he went out of office. His Conduct, however, on the question of Reform, ( o which, after a speech little calculated to induce persons to believe that lie intended lo vole for that measure, he gave his support, again placed him among the ranks Of his former political friends; and by his single vote the second reading of the Reform Bill was carried. Both Houses of Parliament were occupied last night in miscellaneous business. 11 is said that the Marquis of Stafford, the Marquis Of Cleveland, and Ihe Marquis of Anglesey, are to be created Dukes.— Morning Chronicle: LONDON— SATURDAY. ARCHDEACONRY OF SALOP, COVENTRY. IN THE DIOCESE OF LICHFIELD # poor families, who were thus furnished with the means of enjoying a comfortable meat in their own houses. The greatest loyalty was evinced throughout the town of WENLOCK on Thursday.— The morning was ushered in by merry peals from the lofty steeple of fhe handsome and venerable church, and reports of cannon were heard repeatedly throughout the day. In the afternoon a sumptuous dinner was laid out at the White Hart Inn, in Mrs, Rhoden's usual style of excellence, where a number of gentlemen assembled ahd passed the evening with the utmost hilarity. At half past four a superabundant quantity of good meat and drink was supplied to the boys and girls belonging to fhe Sunday Schools ( more than a hun- dred in number) by Richard Collins, Esq. whose benevolence has been long experienced by the poor of this neighbourhood. A most beautiful pyrotech- nic;!] display subsequently took place amid the most deafening cheers from the spectators. This scene attracted many even of the fair sex; and as the rockets, & c. lowering majestically thro' the heavens, left for an instant a glimmering light behind them— The matrons flung their gloves, Ladies and maids their scarfs and handkerchiefs. A magnificent balloon was prepared, with which it was intended to conclude the amusements, but, owing to some mismanagement, when about to ascend it look fire, to the great disappointment of an infinitude of spectators. SHREWSBURY MOUSE OF INDUSTRY. tn fhe House of Commons on Monday, a new writ was moved for the borough of Liverpool, and afl'cr nnicli opposition by Mr. Cresscft Pelham and other members, was negatived by a majority of 7ti to 41.— In the House of Commons, last night, new writs were moved and ordered for Derbyshire and Forfarshire, in the room of Lord George Cavendish, created Earl of' Burlington, and the Hon. William Maule, created Lord Panuiure. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, in reply to a question put by Mr Hume relative to the Bishopric of Derry, with reference to the motion of which he had given nolice, the Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, that the view the government had taken of the subject was, that by ail alteration in the distri- bution of the revenues of the Church, the poorer Clergy might be aSsissted in a belter manner than at present, without diminishing in ari improper manner the support required for the maintenance of the rank and station of the superior Clergy. But if any sleps of this kind were adopted, Ihey ought to be taken generally, and not applied to any individual instance. Whoever, therefore, was nominated to fhe See of Derry it would be upon the undcio'anding lhat no rights so acquired should be allowed to interfere with any such arangrment, if at a future period it should take effect.— Mr. Hume expressed himself perfectly satisfied, and withdrew his motion. As the absence of the Duchess of Kent and: her daughter the Princess Victoria from the Coronation could not have escaped notice, Ilie following expla- nation has been given by the Times, apparently from auihority, of the motive which induced the Duchess to absent herself from the ceremony. That paper says— " We have received two versions of the affair, and both, if we look to the quarters from which they come, are entitled to the highest consideration. The first says, ' Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent wrote to the Duke of Norfolk, as Hereditary Earl Marshal, to know how she was to go to the Abbey herself, and what arrangements had been made for fhe Princess Victoria.' The answer was, 1 That his Majesty had signified his pleasure that her Royal Highness should attend iu her place as a dowager Princess and Peeress, and that the Princess Victoria would go under Ihe care of Ihe Landgravine and Ilie Princess Augusta, and be attended by the Duchess df Northumberland in the Royal pew * This answer being received, so far was her Royal Highness from declining attendance, lhat she ordered her robes, and it was understood by all the Rojal Family that she would be there. The King never doubting but lhat the Duchess would be at the Coronation, ordered a letter to be written to her lo know whom she would name to carry her coronet; to this no answer was received. After waiting some time, his Majesty ordered another letter to be written in his own name, and to this an answer did come from Sir John Conrov, speaking of her attendance as uncertain, but saying that if she did attend, she would have her coronet borne by Lord Morpeth." Our other account agrees in the chief facts with the preceding; but adds, ' ller Royal Highness llien wrole to express her ready compliance' ( with the ar- rangement made as to the places selected for herself and her daughter) ' and her desire to he present at the ceremony, and to mark her dutiful regard to his Majesty ; but it was afterwards considered as inex- pedient to interrupt the benefit which the Princess Victoria's health was receiving by her residence near the sea; and upon this ground, and also upon lhat of the expense which would attend the Duchess of Kent's leaving the Isle of Wight, and removing all her establishment to town, so as to appear in state at the Coronation, his Majesty was pleased, in the most gracious and in the kindest manner; to dispense with the attendance of tbe Duchess of Kent and the Princess her daughter."

IMPORTANT TURNPIKE DECISION.— Last week, James Langson, servant of Mr. Heskelh Goddard, Wilmslow, appeared before the county magistrates to answer a summons from the toll- bar- keeper of llollin Fee, for having, by llie directions of his master, passed through that bar with a cart laden with turf without paying toll. The magistrates decided that the turf being the production of Mr. Goddard's own land, and for his own use, came within Ihe clause of exemption in the general turnpike acl, and dismissed the complaint. The inhabitants of Wilmslow, con- sidering the decision so important, are going to present Mr. Goddard with a silver cup, for his manly stand against this illegal demand. the instruments'Of the military in cryin; the King." At eleven o'clock their Majesties arrived at the Abbey, where Ihe ceremony of Ihe Coronation, as detailed in our last Journal, took place, and occupied about four hours. ' 1 he finest or most imposing part of the ceremony was that portion in which tbe Crown was placed on the Monarch's head, and when all ( he Peers put their coronets upon their brows, llie visiters giving at the same moment loud huzzas. The signal was given Outside, that the King was just crowned, a royal salufe was fired by Ihe Park guns, a telegraphic despatch was conveyed to Portsmouth, annoumiug the event, aud a Royal salute was fired there within three niinrites of the time, and whilst his Majesty remained seated on the throne. Next to this scene, was the enthusiastic approbation with which the Duke of Wellington was honoured by the Peers, and ail assembled in the Abbey, when lie performed the ceremony of doing homage to Ilis Majesty.— Lord Hill was also highly applauded. The Duchess of St. Albans was blazing with brilliants, and the upper part of her crimson robe was surmounted with a rigid circlet of gold lace. For sonic time fhe duchess was allowed to have no rival' in the profusion and costliness of sparkling gems which she exhibited to Ihe general gaze; but two fair competitors presented themselves in turn'; and each completely eclipsed her— still less, perhaps, in display than in refined and tasteful embellishment. The MarcliiotiesS of Londonderry and the Lady of Viscount Stafford might, equally claim the palm for a model of exquisite attire; and it was universally allowed by fhe ladies, who, it must be admitted, are the best judges'of si « eh matters, that their triumph over her Grace of St. Albans was decisive and absolute. But by far the most interesting object in the fair host of fashion and beauty was the young Marchioness of Hastings'. She was dressed in a rich robe of crimson tfch- et, with a long train, which was supported by a page. In advancing towards her seat ber Ladyship leant on the irm of tiie Marquis, and carried a coronet in her hand. Among the carriages'of the nobility, all of which rivalled each other in splendour, that of the Duke of Northumberland attracted particular notice. The horses were ornamented with a profusion of blue ribbons. The public offices, public buildings, public- bouses, and all fhe eastern parts of London were brilliantly illuminated at night.: at the north west end, where the nobility and gentry principally reside, very few houses were illuminated.— Fire- works were exhibited from various stations. The day throughout had bei- n very fine. In many parts of the country, however, the weather was most unprqpitious: in SHREWSBURY, as in all this district of Ihe kingdom, the rain which had poured down all night, continued with little inter- mission until after Divine Service had terminated at St. Chad's Church. The Procession was, in conse- quence, but a faint outline of that which it had been intended should take place.— The Mayor, with the Body Corporate, and many Gentlemen, together with most Of the Incorporated Companies, and the Children of the several Schools, proceeded to St. Chad's ill the order announced in our last, business in the town being altogether suspended : and after Service, the children of the Schools were all bountifully regaled, under the superintendence of their respective patrons and teachers.— The poor persons in the House of Industry were also regaled by a subscription for that purpose. The Dinner at Ihe Talbot Inn was such as did credit to the well- known style of that house : the Mayor presided; and he Was supported by Colonel Knyvett Leigfiton, Mr. Rice Wynne, and Mr. Hazle- dine : about (> 0 other gentlemen sat down.— The following toasts were given, and drunk with due honours :— The King ( Song, God save the King, by Mr. Perrv)— The Queen— The Royal Family— Lord Hill and the Army—( Song, England defended by John Hull, by Mr, Altrce)— The Navy of Great Britain ( Song, Rule Britannia, by Mr. It. Haycock) — The Lord Lieutenant of the County ( Song, I Varrior Rest, by Mr. l'eplow)— The High Sheriff— The Mayor— The Members for Ihe County, & c,; and a variety of other local toasts followed, with several songs volunteered hy Ihe company.— Mr Frail gave The Coronation, in his best style, and with much effect; arid the utmost, conviviality prevailed.— Dinners also took place at fhe Lion and Raven Hotels, and at many other of the Inns in the town The day was observed throughout this and the adjacent counties as one of festive solemnity, but the incessant fall of rain prevented that display which a loyal population were so anxious to manifest on the important occasion. The Coronation of their Majesties was celebrated at OSWESTRY with the most loyal enthusiasm. The procession of the Mayor and Corporation was headed by the girls and boys of the National Schools, with gay devices and banners emblematic of fhe occasion, and was followed by the Trades of the town, with fheir different colours, & c. At church a most excel- lent ond appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. G, Wharton. After the sermon, the procession returned to Ihe Guildhall, where the company being ranged in a circle, with the Mayor and Corporation in the centre, " God save ( lie King" was played by the band in attendance, and the whole assembly gave 4 timc3 4 cheers in honour of their Majesties. The children were then successively marched to Ihe respective houses appointed for them, where they were regaled with abundance of roast beef and plum- pudding, under the kind superintendance of a number of gentlemen, who attended to see them all dine pro- perly and sufficiently served. The arrangement made for the accommodation of the children met with uni- versal approbation, and many a happy little urchin asserted his prerogative as an Englishman in the powers he displayed in discussing beef and plum- pudding.— We doubt not the remembrance of this day will be long cherished by many.— The Mayor and High Steward, with the Corporalion and Gentle- men, sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Wynn- stay Arms, and the spirit of unanimity and good feeling which pervaded the meeting, evinced in a marked manner that all parties were animated with but one common sentiment of attachment and loyalty to their good and gracious Sovereign. The different Trades of ( lie town were provided with excellent dinners at the Red l. ion, White Lion, & c. where the evening was spent with much conviviality and loyal feeling. The Ball at the Wynnstay Arms afforded much gratification, and, considering the shortness of the notice, was well and respectably attended ; the scientific display of Monsieur Louis Dore and his band was much admired, and the merry dancers kept the festive scene alive lo a late hour of the night,— The whole of these festivities were defrayed by a very handsome public subscription, a considerable surplus from which has been invested iu the Savings Bank for future charitable purposes. At TILSTOCK, near Whitchurch, in this county, divine service was performed in the afternoon, and an admirable sermon appropriate to the occasion was preached by the Rev. W. Renton, from Rom. xiii. 4 —" For he is the Minister of God to thee for good." ]\ TOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that 1 > the General Annual MEETING of the Trustees or Commissioners of the Shiffnal District of Turnpike Roads, will be held at the Jerningham Arms Inn, in Shiffnal, in the County of Salop, on Tuesday, the 4th Day of October next, at the Hour of Eleven in the Forenoon, for auditiu and on other Affairs. forenoon, auditing the Accounts of the said Trust, Newport, 8 Ih Sept. 1831.

CURACY WANTED, By a Fellow and Graduate of Oxford, in full Orders, cither in the Diocese of Chester Hereford, or Litchfield and Coventry ; Salary not o'f primary Consideration, provided there be a comfort- able Residence.— Apply ( if by Letter, Post- paid) to J. C. North Wales Chronicle Office, Bangor. The " ^ r port of the Committee to the Guardians of Ihe Poor of the Shrewsbury United District" will be found in our 4th page ; together with a review of that report.— To avoid Cavil, we have scarcely alluded to one great cause of tbe increase of debt and the loss of capital of the parishes, namely, litigation, into which it seems to be the wish of some parties again to plunge them ; ami we have taken i? 270 6s. 4d. the estimate of the Committee, as the present annual charge of the establishment to the six united parishes: although, as tliej have calculated fhe repairs at £ ll) 0 per annum, £ 60 might be taken from that item; and they calculate the interest on fhe bonds at 5 per cent, which, if paid, is beyond the present general rate of interest on such security :• so that the annual charge of the establishment at the utmost is not, or need not, be more than £ 200 per annum; and, from the present arrangement as to the Lunatics, and Ihe proposition made by Mr. Jacob, relative to the fitting up of the superfluous portions ofthe building as a Lunatic Asvluni, not only might £ 150 per annum be saved to the United Parishes in this department of their expenditure, but the burden of the whole concern would, comparatively speaking, be removed from the rate- payers.— The general average payment for paupers in the House is now 3s. 0^ d, per head per week; for Lunatic paupers ( which at Lichfield and Stafford did cost 12s. and 9s. per head) the payment is 6s. per week ; for each • lying in woman and her child 53. per week.— The extras for the Whole House ( such as wiire, beer, spirits, & c. for the sick) have amounted to but £ 53. 17s. 7' d. for the two last years, or about a halfpenny per head per week.— And the aggregate of casual cost for vagrant poor for the five town parishes during the last year and half has been £ 73. 10s.— In mentioning these facts, as in noticing the Rcporf at all, we have done so as rate- payers who believe that all parties interested Will do well to Consider the subject, before they decide upon adopting a resolu- tion to get rid of the existing commodious ( and at this time well- conducted)' establishment, and to fit up in lieu thereof separate workhouses for each parish— a result that would not only be much more expensive than Ihe present concern, but infiinitely more pre- judicial to the interests of the contributing parties.— It will be seen that the Committee have assumed a rent for the House of Industry on an estimate of £ 11,500, although the actual cost to the parishes was little more than £ 5000, and they have since sold land from it to the amount of £ 1500.

Some enquiry is made for foreign wheat, and the prices of this day week are maintained. The barley trade is very heavy ; inferior qualities are. unsaleable, and for the best, samples a re- duction. of Is. to 2s. p- er quarter from last week.

We regret to state that in the night of Monday last the inhabitants of Whitchurch and its vicinity were alarmed by cries of " Fire!" in consequence of the diabolical acts of some villain or villains who, we trust, will shortly be brought to the bar of Justice.— Three fires took place that night, near Whitchurch, within a short distance of each other: one upon a small farm belonging to Mr. Nunnerley, at Precs Heath, where one stack of barley was consumed, but, providentially, by the aid of an engine belonging to Joseph Kennerley, Esq. of The Heath Cottage, the remaining property was saved ; another fire broke out in the outbuildings of an extensive farm in the holding of Mr Darlington, at the Twemlowes, which were entirely consumed, with several stacks of hay and grain ; the third fire took place at the adjoining farm of The Twemlows, In Id by Mr. Booth, and here the whole of the outbuildings, with seventeen stacks of hay and grain, were destroyed.— The two last- mentioned farms are held under our respected County Representative, Sir Rowland Hill, Bart— Several men have been apprehended on suspicion of being con- cerned in the perpetration of these atrocious outrages. Mr. Booth's stock is, we understand, insured.— The value of the property destroyed on Monday night is estimated nf from £ 2500 to £ 3000.— It is impossible to ascertain the motives by which the villainous incendiaries have been actuated.— Mi. Booth, who ii an extensive grazier and farmer is one of the most generous men living, and universally respected.— Messrs, Darlington and Nilnnerley are equally re- spected by their poor neighbours — This is the fourth time Mr. Nunnerley's property lias been set on fire. — Every exertion was made in the present instance to save the property of the gentlemen above- men- tioned, by the neighbours, with the aid of four engines, but without success, as the flames raged with tremendous rapidity, burning, not only the grain in Ihe stacks, but also many of the implements, and the whole contents af the buildings. Those of our readers, unaware of Ihe circumstance, wilt be gratified to find that Airs. Gardner ( widow of the late celebrated Aurist; is now in Shrewsbury, and may be consulted in every disorder connected with the ears. So excellent is her method of treating these diseases, that, we are informed, she usually suc- ceeds in removing slight and recent cases by one application ; and even fhose which time has rendered more obdurate, will generally be found lo yield to a few weeks' use of the means recommended by her.— See A dvert.

Prime tight spreading English Hides and Shaved Hides experienced no alteration ; but all the commoner descriptions, as also Welsh Hides, suffere a reduction in price. Prime Pattern Skins were not in large supply, and an advance has been obtained of full a halfpenny per lb. Very few buyers appeared for Welsh Skins, and lower prices generally have been submitted lo. Kips, both English and Foreign, were not in large supply, and experienced a very limitei" demand. Spanish, German, and English Ilorse Hides, with Seals, were scarcely enquired for.

He is supposed to be in the Neighbourhood of Wol- verhampton, Bridgnorth, & c. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on the Ninth Day of September, 1831. an Order was signed by the Reverend WILLIAM HENRY CYNRIC LLOYD, Clerk, and CHARLES MORRIS, Esquire, two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace acting in and for the Counties of Salop and Stafford, for diverting and turning Part of a certain common Highway, situate in the Parish of Sheriffhales, in the Counties of Salop and Stafford aforesaid, between the Town of Newport and the Town of Shiffnal, both in the said County of Salop, for the Length of 1088 Y'ards or thereabouts, so as to make the same nearer aud more commodious to the Public, through and over certain Lands and Grounds of the Right Honourable GEORGE GRANVILLE Baron GOWER, of Stittenham, for the Length of 823 Y'ards or thereabouts, and of the Breadth of 30 Feet or there- abouts, particularly described in a Plan annexed to the said Order, and also for stopping up and inclosing so much of the said old Highway as extends from the Point marked C to the Point marked B on the said Plan : And that the said Order will be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the said County of Salop, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace to be holden at Shrews- bury, in and for the said County, on the Seventeenth Day of October next, and also that tile said Order will, at the said Quarter Sessions, be confirmed and enrolled, unless, upon an Appeal against the same to be then made, it be otherwise determined : And Notice is also hereby given, that a Duplicate of the said Order will be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the said County of Stafford, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace to be holden at Stafford, in and for the said County of Mafford, on the Nineteenth Day of October next, and also that the said Order will, at the said last mentioned Quarter Sessions, be confirmed and en- rolled, unless, upon an Appeal against the same to be then made, it be otherwise determined. After being nearly ten weeks under discussion, the Reform Bill has passed through the Committee. Ii, its mutilated, altered, and amended shape. Sir Charles Wetherell has very humourously likened it fo Sir John Cutler's stockings, which had been so darned and mended, that it. was impossible to tell what was their original colour. However, the Delegates, pledged to " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," have gulped down ( he changeling wonderfully well. The cfcw. ic nature of some con- sciences is perfectly liiiracwlotw; although we must acknowledge that various clauses of the Bill, as they at present stand, have been more bitterly reprobated by the Reformers themselves, than by any of their opponents— we allude not to Mr. Hnnt's hostility to the Bill, bwt to sach Member, as Colonel Daries, Coloftel Gore Largton, and gentlemen io that grade of society. No Tory advocate of the Bill has said or written any thing about it more censorious perhaps than Ihe following speech of the latter gentleman, fhe Hon. Member for Somersetshire. In the course of ( he debate on the 29th clause, which provides for a registration of votes ( and which was ultimately adopted), Colonel Gore Langt.> r> said — " He was the warm supporter of tiie measure to effect Reform in Parliament; but he strongly opposed the clause for division of counties. When the Bill passed with that clause, there would be arr end to the independence and honour of County representation. The Members for Counties would become in his sight odious. He would prefer being a representative" for the city of Bath, Bristol, or any other citv, to being a Member for a district of the county of Somerset. Nothing should induce him to become Member for a County under such degrading circumstances. He had been many years a representative of a County, hot afler the passing of the Bill he should retire to private life. He supported the great measure of Reform, but should always remain strongly opposed to alteration in County Representation. He perfectly concurred with the Hon. and Learned Member for Borough bridge, that by the division of counties into districts, County Representation would be at a dis- count of 50 per cent, in public estimation." The Committee arrived at the consideration of the 60th clause of the Bill on Tuesday night; on which Colonel Sibthorp said, they were now come to the last clause, and if the Bill should pass, lie would say, farewell to all the existing institutions ofthe country, which he had endeavoured fearlessly and honestly to support. He wonld say, in the words ofa gr. at man. " Oh! save my country! May God protect it from Revolution!" Though the Bill had passed the Committee, he felt confident that it would never become a law. The Report on the Bill was to be further considered in the House of Commons yesterday. WARWICK RACES. T.

In the French Chambers, part of the debate turned upon cholera, and the Minister of Commerce made the following statement: — " The cholera ravages the east of Europe; it has spread over Wallachia, Poland, Russia, Austria, Hungary; even the centre of Germany is threaten- ed. Almost all the European nations have had re~ course to serious measures of precaution ; sanitary commissions, cordons of troops, and lazarettoes, have been established. The manners of Russia* oppose the execution of similar measures, and lias suffered most severely. Wallachia, in which no precautious have been taken, ha » beeu ravaged, Prussia, on Ihe contrary, in which Ihe soil has been defended foot by foot, has been saved from thece frightful misfortunes. Venice, Tyrol, Saxony, have adopted vigorous measures. Austria took its pre- cautions too late, aud Ihe cholera is therefore at tho gates of Vienna. " 1 have said that Germany is threatened. The fairs, which assemble so great a number of individuals on one spot, have lieen the great sources of danger. We have been for a long time engaged in endeavour- ing to save France from this scourge. Sanitary com. missions have been sent into the infected countries to examiue the nature of the malady ; similar com- mittees have been formed in Paris. A scientific con- troversy exists as to the nature of the disease, and it is maintained by some not to be contagious. Science performs its part iu such discussions; its business is ( u discover the truth. u Government also does ils duty in leaving nothing to chance, anil taking the utmost precautions to secure the health and the lives of the people. It is certain that the disease has spread in following the march of armies, caravans, & c. We should he extremely cul- pable if we neglected the means pur- ued for the preservation of public health hy all Ihe nations of Europe." The Minister concluded hy proposing an extraordinary vote of credit of a million francs (£ 40,000) to inee( Ihe expences of the sanitary mea- sures which he proposed.

Then,' as to the maintenance of tbe poor in the Workhouse:— This is a most material point tortile consideration of the rate- payers: and so the Com- mittee seem to have accounted it; therefore they have, with more ingenuity than truth, set forth the present cost Of itiaintenauce for each pauper as follows— " Ho use- rent per annum £ 4 10 0 " Average payment to Contractor, at 3s. fid. per week 12 10 0 " Clothing . ,. 0 15 0 ill. To offer suggestions for a more economical occu- pancy of a Poor house. The firsi question, as to " the slate of llie inmates," having been already answeretl, Ihe Snh- Cointniitee proceed to the second — viz.. lo enquire into the ex- penses of the iuhiateS. The person who contracts fo fartn the in. poor holds the house, buildings,' and garden gratis, and pays £ 36 11. year tor the renl of 12A. OR. lsP. of land. By returns from the parishes of St. Chad, St. Mary, St. Julian, and llolv Cross, il sppears lhat ttieuverage charge of the contractor is 3s. ( id. per bead weekly for lulu 11 s and children, and that he is entitled to the hibniir of such as are able to work. The estimated value of the whole properly is £ 11,500 ;* i he interest of which, nt per cent, amounts Shrewsbury House of In Many df Our renders, wc will v'enture fo sny, had hoped, as We ourselves have done, that a more equitable adjustment of the burthens of this estab- lishment having taken place by the late Act of Parliamt rit, all bickerings and divisions as to this institution had come to 1111 end. Such, however, is not the case ; and a most extraordinary sourcc of complaint has now arisen- not that the Workhouse is too small, and that the inmates are too numerous— facts which, if they hail existed, might have been very good grounds for an appeal to the rate payers of the United Parishes:— hut this most extraordinary complaint is, that thei<! are so few paupers in the House, that " buildings capacious enough for 800 or 900 persons" are " now rotting with damp anil com. parativelv tena'KI less!!!''— Arid hi this state of Ihings, the complaiilt is not riiofe extraordinary than the remedy that has been recomriicndcd: namely, to obtain ail Act of Parliament to permit the sale of the property, and to divide file surplus— for it is asserted that a surplus does exist— and that then, eaeh of the parishes shall— what?— do without a workhouse? No— no such thing;— but, having sold their old orie, fhey are Tli start afrcili, and buy a new one with part of Ihe money ! Now, we sincerely believe that no persOrfs ( seriously considering fhe matter) with the exception of those who dreW up this report, could, from such premises as they Have advanced, have come to such'a conclu- sion. They remind lis of the anecdote of the portly gentleman, who, offeridcd with the fashion of his fine roomy and substantial- made old coat, did, as these projectors would do, namely, sold if, and, taking all the money it produced, bought orie as large and fashionable ns that siliti Would pay for, which, however, proved not merely 10 be a misfit, brtt alto- gether so scanty, slight, and ou/ re, that he was fain tb go without any coat at all— milch to his discomfort, nnd greatly lo his chagrin :— f'dr, when it is recol leeted, that about £ 2( 100 has already been spent over one Act of Parliament,— lhat, in order 10 sell, another ( and that not a friendly) Act must be obtained,— and that if the premises are offered for sale, they must, under the circumstances, be sold for whatever price shall be offered, it would be vain to calculate upon any surplus, much less Upon a surplus presumed from a slate of things that no longer exists:— inas- much as land to the value of £ 1500 has been sold ( and spent in Ian) since the estimate upon which the presumed surplus is deduced was made, arid because it is evident, 011 the present Committee's own showing, that the value of land is not increasing hut di- minishing. One reason given by the Committee for the result at w hich they have arrived will appear sofhewhat singular to those who lake an interest in the welfare • if our public institutions. During Hie erection of the New Infirmary, a large portion of the House of Industry was occupied as a temporary substitute for that excellent establishment. These buildings being thin, as they are now, happily not wanted for tbe inmates of the workhouse, some of the Directors, and the great majority of respectable persons not in flic direction, thought that, as ( be Trustees of the Infir- nmrv undertook lo fit up the buildings and keep them in repair while they occnp cd them, it would be illiberal lo charge them any rent: others, however, who happened fo be the majority of the Directors, thought differently, and,- in consequence, the Trustees of Ihe Infirftinry were compelled lo pay a rent of £ 100 per annum ; although upon the face of ( he present report it is admitted, that flu- United Parishes were gainers by their occupying the premises, if they had paitl no rent whatever!— And will il be believed that a class of men w ho could, willi such Israelitish zeal, drive such a bargain, had been for years squabbling about, inequalities of averages, and the oilier fringe arid ririsCI nf the establishment, and spending thousands in settling such disputes, while tiie accounts and management of the House Were neglected, nnd several of their servants Were, in suc- cession, permitted to plunder and squander thousands lifter thousands unsuspected and for a series of years undetected. That such a sfate of things did exist is, notwithstanding, strictly true : and not more extraor- dinary is the fact, as we w ill shew, that now, under a different system of management, a given number of paupers ( and that almost tbe least average number that ever occupied the House) is maintained at little more than half the former cost, although the prices of provisions, itc remain the same, the rate- payers of the United Parishes are called upon, not to see if there should be still any slight inequality of payment that ought to be amicably adjusted, but, rlolens vohms, to get rid of the whole conccrn, and ( 0 pocket n surplus sum of money which, we will venture to say, will never find existence in any other than that form of paper and figures in which the Committee liave sent it forth to the public. The Committee have set down the sum of £ 11,500, ns the value of the property, nnd have calculated thereupon a rent or interest, after making certain deductions, of £ 451 13s. 10d — This might have been feasible, as matter of fact, if the Parishes had given £ 11,500 for the House : but the truth is, the House was purchased hy the Parishes for less than half the money; nnd, strictly speaking, has never to this hour been paitl for— the sum having been raised on bonds, upon which an interest or rent litis been paid, which, after setting oft' rents, & c. received, leaves only an annual charge or rent upon the parishes of about one- half what the committee have been pleased to assume as the ground of their calculations. We shall not commit ourselves by tbe monsfrous folly of wasting words upon tbe calculations which the committee call " annual loss," and a " deficiency" that may be " added yearly lo the debt."— This stun, £ 270. tis. 4d. is, in reality, the actual charge to the six parishes, for an establishment which obviates the necessity of their having six workhouses, six nuisances, six place of peculation, six pest- houses ( for they have been dignified with all these names), or whatever else they mav be called, w ith all their concomitants, their masters, their matrons, their servants, their separate rents, charges, repairs, & c. & c. within the Liberties of Shrewsbury, if not within the town itself.— Will any of tbe Committee favour ns with calculations of what the cost of six establishments would be: for we are quite certain, that not one qf the parishes will be able long to carry 011 without a workhouse, antl we nrc as certain that, should the present House of In- dustry be sold, the parishes will never uiiite in the erection of another.— We offer the following data to any member of the committee as the ground of his calculations:— Bent of Workhouse, Repairs, Taxes, Steward's Salary, Matron's Salary, Servants' Wages, Board of Steward and Matron, Board of Servants, Coal, Candles, & c. & c. for Steward, Matron, and Servants. It" any workhouse iskept, all these annual charges will accrue, independent of the cost of maintaining £ 17 T5 0" The last of llie tWee items, viz. 15s. we will take as il stands, and admit it to be correct. As to the second item, we presume, the march of intellect having reached the Committee, they have adopted new system of arithmetic; for, according fo Cocker, 52 times 3s. Gd. is not £ 12, 10s. but £ 9. 2s. per aitnuftf. And ( lie first item of £ 4. 10s. being founded upon the fallacious valuation of £ 11,500 before rioticed,* and 011 tlie presumption that 11) 0 paupers onlv are in the llouse, may be at once educed to £ 2. 5s. or one- half; and if, as iu fairness it ought, the calculation Were made upon an aver- age of years, the rent- charge for. each pauper Would not be £ 1. Is. per annum. We will, however, adopt Ihe real charge upon £ 3500, Which is all that the present House, & e. has in truth cost the parishes ( after allowing for the £ 1500 worth of land sold to Mr. Beck), and the account will stand thus:— House- rent per annum, about...... .£ 1 15 0 Average payment to Contractor, at 3s. 6d. per week 9 2 0 Clothing 0 15 0 Rents received, viz.. Rent of Kingslnnd £ 112 0 0 Rent of Boat- house 70 0 0 From Mr. Jacob fur 1- 2 acres uf land 30 0 0 £ 517 10 0 Deduct Payments as follow Rem to Corporation and Burgesses £ 25 0 0 Chief- rent to Shoe- maker's Company 0 2 6 Taxes mid Tithe 27 1 4 Repairs ( ul least 100 0 0- 218 0 0 The following is an extract from their Report, which then proposed ( he selling of the present house and premises :— " August 10th, 1808." " The present llouse appearsto the Committee to be too larpe. They would recommend a smaller to be substituted, capable of containing not fewer than two hundred paupers. " The Comtriittee ate of opinion that the present ( louse should be offered for sale, and disposed of, if it can be done with manifest advantage to the Parishes. " Whether it will he desirable to efect a new building fur two hundred paupers ;— to adapt a part of the present house for their accon'imodation,— or to purchase a place already built, may be left to the discretion nf the Director*, after they have heard of an oiler fur tlie purchase of the present premises. ' The pecuniary advantages likely to arise from selling the House, nr otherwise reducing the establishment, will appear from the following statement :— ' The value of the house taken at tbe lowest estimate, that is if even to be sold for old materials, together with the value of . freehold and leasehold lands, are estimated at full.... .£ 9000 " The expense of purchasing other lands, and of build- ing a suitable house, is believed to be over. rated at 3000 152 3 10— 05 10 2 Annual charge 011 Parishes fur rent of Poor- house £ 451 13 10 4 10 0 £ 11 12 0 Making a reduction of £ 6. 3s. from the erroneous calculation of tbe Committee, being more than one- third of what they have put down as tlie charge per annum! In Ihis average cost of 3s. 6d per week the Luna- tics are included, in which item alone, St. Chad's parish has saved at least £ 100 per annum under the present arrangement; antl although the Committee have calculated the future repairs of the House al £ 100 per annum, Kir. Jacob, who now farms the poor, has offered to contract for those repairs at £ 40 per aiimim. The Committee have, with riuich adroitness, en- deavoured to fortify their case by a reference to a report made in tlie year 1808, in which a Conuiiillee then appointed recommended the sale of the present House, and the adoption of an establishment calcu- lated for 200 paupers. They give the names of the Conuriitlee appointed to draw up that report, but neither they nor the books of the House give us the names of the parties by whom it was actually drawn up arid signed. But be that as it may, it will not riiuch help their case ; for a reference to the Books of the House will show, that although in the years, 1805, 1806, 1807i and 1808, the greatest number of paupers in the House was 200, and the average about 175; yet from 1799 to 1804, the greatest number in the House had been 457, and tlic average about 313; and subsequent lo this famous report, viz. in the seventeen years from 1800 to 1825, the greatest num- ber in the House was 466, arid the average 200. Yet with these fads" before their eyes, a Committee ap- pointed iri the year 1831, think room for 200 paupers would be qiiite sufficient, and make a recommend- ation accordingly ! It is, indeed, but proper to state, that in four years successively, 1817, 1818,1819, and 1820, the lowest number of paupers in the House Was 326, nor did they again at any time fall under 200 before the year 1825. Of the situation, fiVmiff's^, arid ciitriparalive excel lenCe of the present buildings, we need s3y nothing ; antl if a contractor will keep them in repair for £ 40 per annum, we are of Opiriiori, the expenses on that head will not require much comment— Antl as, last year, 127 paupers ( the average liiimber) cost the parishes but £ 1275. 13s. 7d. while, on tile old system, 134, being only 7 more, cost iu the year 1827, £ 2058. Is. wiih the prices of provisions the sarrie, the rate- payers will do well to consider before they adopt the Report of a Committee, whose arithriietic we have shewn to be false, whose calculations are mani- festly fallacious, and whose conclusions are conse- quently erroneous and deceptive. In saying this, we Wish to give no personal offence fo the gentlemen who have signed that report, Some of Whom, we think, never could have examined the statements which their signatures are intended to verify : thaf* Report is now, however, a public document; and as such only have we treated it; and we here subjoin it, in proof that wc have neither misquoted their words nor fal- ilied their figures : observing, at Ihe same time, that several of the gentlemen appointed on the Committee, including Archdeacon Bather and Mr. Hughes, declined acting, and are, of course, in 110 tvav responsible for Ihe statements contained iu the Rep'ort of the Committee or Sub- Conirtiittce. Tli'iit, if 100 paupers are sent into the poor- house, the limine rent alone nf each pauper costs the parishes of St. Chad, Sl. Mllry, St Julian, and lluly Cross the sum of ( per head y em I v) Average pnyAieut 16' Contractor al 3s.

It appears evident frottf the foregoing that the main expense which the parishes have lu Complain of is the incubus of dead weight— enpririons and useless build- ings, with their mortgage dehis anil annual repairs— buildings capacious enough for btii) or 900 persons, Hill now roiling with damp and comparatively tenant- lesst".

The present Committee cordially concurs in the re. commendation to dispose ofthe present properly, and lo provide less valuable pieuii. es fur a poor- house pon a smaller ond iflore economical scale. It has been already shewn,— first, that upon the present system the sum of £ 270. 0 » . 4tl. will be ndded in the debt yearly, or must be provided for yearly by additional rates upon the parishes ; second, that the " ease of Kingsland, hy whieh an income of nearly £ 100 per annum has hitherto been obtained, is gradually wearing out; third, that as the buildings grow older, and become more and more decayed and dilapidated by the want of occupation aud warmth, so will the charges for repairs increase and accumulate. It is clear, then, that an establishment whose in- fii'inities and debts are increasing yearly, while its means of support aud of paying off those debts are diminishing yearly, must inevitably extinguish itself ' 11 bankruptcy at no very remote period, and in its end become tt fixed antl permanent burden upon the pro. perty of every proprietor and rate- payer in the district. At the present juncture the parisiies may extricate liemselves while yet there remains a surplus capital to he divided among the six parishes. If the freehold and leasehold properly were sold for Ihe sum at which it was valued five years ago by two professional gentlemen, authorised by the then Di- rector, the stun lo be received by each parish will he nearly as follows : — The freehold premises nnd lite lease of Kingslaiid ( valued al) £ 11,500 0 0 Saving.,, The annual interest of tbe Slim thus saved Add the proGuble saving of repairs, of house, mill, pump, aud boat- house ( whicli last year amounted to £ 340.

The non- appearance of the names of the Duchess of Kent and the Heiress Presumptive ofthe Crown, the Princess Victoria, in the programme of the Coronation, is exciting some surprise. We are in- formed, from a quarter on which we can rely, that the Duchess has declined to attend with her daughter owing to her dissatisfaction at a proper place not having been assigned to the Princess.— Western Luminary. The Times, in an indecent and malevo- lent attack upon her Royal Highness, states, that " her absence is iri pursuance of a systematic opposi- tion on the part of her Royal Highness to all the wishes and all the feelings of the present King." ANOTHER EXTENSIVE RoniiERY OF JEWELS.— On Friday night, about nine o'clock, Mrs. Smythe, a lady resident at No. 6, Great Cumberland- place, left her own room to join a party of friends who were 011 a visit at her house, and on her return to her apartment, at eleven o'clock, she discovered that her drawers had been opened in the interim, and the whole of her valuable jewels carried off. The lowest estimate of the loss is £ 500. The following are some of the articles taken :— A sapphire neck- lace, cross, ear rings,: and bracelets, set with bril- liants, in a red case; a diamond cross; with a diamond fly, in a red case ; a pair of diamond ear- rings ; broad gold liidian bracelets; several other bracelets of various descriptions ; several valuable cameos, set in gold,' with opals and emeralds; a Maltese cross, with turcfuoise, rubies, and pearls, with ear- rings to suit ; gold watch, several chains, pearl ear- rings with diamonds, silver box, a numbcr of ruby and diamond rings ; a diamond aud emerald sfar, set on a gold chain for the forehead ; a blue star with brilliants; a mother- of- pearl box, con- taining a number of rings, & c.; a valuable gold repeater; gold snuff- box ; with a number of other articles of jewellery. The mode, it is suspected, by which the thieves obtained ingress was through the back attic, over the leads of the adjoining houses, from one a few doors off, which has been undergoing repair. A custom which Mrs. Smythe has of leaving her keys in her drawers afforded additional facility to the intruders. £ 6263 10 0 If tiie view thus taken by this Committee is correct, I seems that sound policy suggests to all the parishes the disposal of this valuable property, while yet it remains not wholly absorbed by accumulating debt and repairs, The comfort and convenience of nged and infirm inmates ( these ought to be the chief or sole inmates of such an'establishment) would also be pro. moled by tlieir removal to apartments more limited in dimensions, more consonant to their former habits of living. The poor are accustomed hy habit to small rooms, nnd a uear approach to a winter's fire. How re they forced from their former habits when twenty or thirty aged and inffrm people sit shivering in co'd nnd damp rooms 120 feet iong, scarcely within sight of a cheerful fire ! Nor can it be unnoticed lliat in the present house those inmates w ho hy birth nre paupers, or have become so in consequence of Iheir vices, as well as anolher and a different class, who, from brighter days and domestic comforts, liave" been com- pelled by misfortune and affliction to descend into a poor- house, are all— all indiscriminately blended to- gether in one room, llow much the feelings and re- collections of a man whose poverty is the result of unavoidable misfortune— not of indiscretion or crime- must be embittered bv the collision and forcetl society with vicious pauperism, must he obvious to every Visitor and Director of this llouse. Thus, then, lite recommendation of the Committee 1808 to sell the present Property and provide a more suitable establishment, appears 10 he fortified by rason, prudence, and justice as regards the owners of propeity and the payers nf poor- iutes : and 110 less is the recommendation sanctioned end confirmed by experience and consideration with regard to the com- forts of, and kindness towards, the Poor themselves.

Such being the condition of the united parishes, the plain enquiry appears to he Ihis : what is the most judicious step fur ihe owners of properly nnd the pay ers of rates 10 take, as regards their own interest an that of the poor ? Your Committee have satisfaction ill referring to a document,* recorded iu ihe books of the Directors of the House of Industry, which gives : i clear nild distinct answer 10 this question ; mid it is still more satis, factory to find that the document was drawn up by those, or at least bv one of those, who assisted in fiaming the first establishment of Ihe house, hut who lived long enough to perceive Ihe fallacy of lite plan, aud denounced it. In the year 180S ( lie following Committee was ap- pointed In investigate the affairs of the house : For St. Chad, T. Panting, Esq. & C. Bage, Esq. Sl. Mary, B. Beuyon, Esq. SI. Alkmund, R.

[ From fhe Albion of Monday.] The Times of this morning gives a sketch of the present French Chariiber of Deputies, to which we beg leave fo call the particular attention of our readers, in order that they may learn from example what would be onr own fate were the Refoim Bill fo pass, and the election of Members of Parliament come to be goverrted principally by " popular pressure. After an allusion to the Shakespearian version of Marc Antony's funeral oration over the body of Julius Ceesar, the Times thus proceeds:— " The present Chamber lias probably more of the character of ( lie Roman 1110b, lo whom ( which) the artful triumvir addresses himself, than tiny former Chamber since the restoration in 181- 1. Upwards of 120 of ils members have not only never seert n legislative assembly before, but have never travelled 611111 the re- cesses of their provinces lo visil Ihe capital lill they were sent to it with a commission tn abolish the peerage and to repair the social edifice. Many of the latter are provincial barristers, many small proprietors, some even are physicians ( who have deserted Iheir patients lo atlend lo state maladies), and ( what did not happen in any further Chamber) a considerable number are notaries or attorneys. A large proportion of Ihe new members, who amount to nearly one half of the Chum- l. er, are neither the most ueallhy, nor the most learned, nor mail dignified representatives that iheir fellow- citizens could " have found, though probably Iln'ir in. tentions may be good. The secrel police of ihe Home Department litis traced more than twenty of them lo the nightly society of the estaminets or lap mom of Pari*, where they Finoke their pipes, drink cheap beverage, and talk politics with Ihe heroes of the barricades.' Now had we given such a description as this of Ihe " motley crowd of politicians," which under the provisions of such a measure as that which tbe Ministers call one of Reform would probably be returned to tbe Commons House of Parliament, we should probably have been considered by the ma- jority of those whose oracle is the Times newspaper, as bigoted and extravagant prophets of" evil— as writers whose prejudices distorted Ihe truth, and whose pens falsely represented it lo the public. But here we have a description from the Times itself of the kind of persons selected as representa- tives under the popular system in the very country from which we have borrowed our present, or rather our late excitement, and what reason is there to suppose that similar causes would not produce similar effects here ? • 4A. 3R. 261*. of Land have been sold since the valuation; but il is supposed lhat in judicious lots the properly may yet produce the above sum. " See vol. I. Minutes of Proceedings of the Diiectors ofthe llouse of ludnntiy. The midland part of Kent has lately been wilness to some strange mixtures of the ludicrous with the horrible. Certain fanatical preachers, it seems, have taken upon themselves to " improve" ( 11), as their phrase is, the late murder of the child near Rochester, and the execution of the boy perpetrator, Todvil, a village near Maidstone, was especially the scene of these extravagancies. After " sermon and hymns," ihe congregation were admitted to tea and dancing at sixpence a head, and, as our con- temporary the Post has it, " the evening concluded with the utmost festivity. It will be recollected that if) the month of February twelvemonth, George Keight, a labourer employed ih the Moneyers' Department of his Majesty's Mint, had succeeded in stealing from that establishment 2,106 blank sovereigns. - At the time of the robbery, and long subsequent, t'lie most experienced police officers in the metropolis were employed, as well as the most active among that body, from the tempting reward offered—£ 1,000— in endeavouring to appre- hend him; but all their ingenuity and exertions proved abortive, and it was the general impression 011 the minds of many persons experienced in these matters, that Keight fell a Victim to his own avarice and dishonesty, arid had been " burked" by the persons w ho were leagued with him in the robbery, in order that they might possess themselves of ( fie whole of the spoil. This belief obtained much strength from the fact, that though Keight was a fond and attentive husband and an affectionate father, neither his wife or his four children ever heard a sirigle syllable of him from the time of his leaving, on the morning of the day on which he had com- mitted the robbery, up to the present moment. The consequence was, that his unfortunate wife, after lan- guishing in great misery with her children, died of a broken heart, and the children are at present inmates of Stepney workhouse. Within the last few days, however, a communication has reached a friend of Height's, from him, from which it appears that he had reached Amcrica in safety, antl that he was at present residing not a great distance from New York. If further appears, that the robbery was the result of a deep laid scheme, and not the impulse of a moment as was at first imagined. It was planned and matured by Kcigftt arid a well known Jew re- ceiver, into whose bands the former placed the whole of the treasure. The price fixed on between the parlies was eight hundred pounds for Keight's share, with permission to stop at his house until ar- rangements could be made for his successful de- parture from this country. It was determined ori that Keight should assume the character and costume of a Polish Jew. On the morning 011 which Keight was to have started, the wary Israelite came home in great apparent fright, and told him lhat if he valued his liberty he had n'Ot a moment to spare in securing it, for he had that instant heard that the traps ( officers) were about, and had got a scent of his hiding- place. Keight instantly prepared for start- ing, and the Jew not having, up to that moment, paid him his promised share of the plunder, £ 800, handed him a roll of bank notes, saying it was all right. Keig lit, being under considerable excitement and fear at the time, did not wait to count the notes, but put them into his pocket. O11 getting, as he conceived, beyond the reach of the officers, he counted the notes, and found them minus £ 200; for instead of £ 800 he has got hut £ 600. Remonstrance, under such cir- cumstances, was quite out of thequestion, and he was of course obliged to put up with what he got. The Lord Chancellor, in a long and elegant address to the bar, in fhe Court of Chancery, on Thursday, announced that the arrears of business in his Court had been disposed of, and that there were 110 ap- peals and no petitions, no causes now unheard, except those that were not ready. His Lordship spoke of the great advantage this would occasion fo all con- cerned ; and dwelt at length 011 some improvements he contemplated making in the proceedings of the Courts of Equity. It is considered idle to talk of the by gone measure of Roman Catholic Emancipation hi these enlightened days ; hut the Reform project— another wild experi- ment on the Constitution— reminds us now and then of the predictions uttered in Parliament ami out of it 011 the former occasion, which were then ridiculed, just as those 011 the Reform Bill now are, but which are nevertheless gradually ripening into realities. The Irish Roman Catholics, whom that measure has introduced into Parliament, lose no opportunity of avowing their hostility to the Established Church, and their anxiety for its downfall. This is no un- founded assertion. Mr. Shiel, according to the re- ports, said 011 Wednesday night, that " a Schedule A was wanted for some of the Irish Mitres, and that " it was unfit the two which had fallen to J) mi ning- Street should again adorn the forehead of ihc Establishment." These Popish leanings are as yet mere indications of the storm which the Irish church must have to contend against. They speak ominously, lint nevertheless with a voice of warning, which our speculative Statesmen will do well to profit by ; and will nothing re- awaken in the British mind its ancient devotion to the constitution in church and state ? Shall fhe noblest system that ever assured the happiness of a nation perish amid a thousand warnings unheeded, in spite of all the force of reason marshalled in its defence. Those who shall behold its fall feeling, as we do, the enormous folly of the precipitation that hurries it to its overthrow, may well despair of the fortunes of human societies. A REFORMER PARLIAMENT !— The " Walsall Political Union," have come to a resolution, that Sir Charles Woiesley, Bart, who was once appointed Legislatorial Attorney for Birmingham, " is a fit and proper person lo represent tlie Borough antl Foreign of Walsall in a reformed Parliament."— Sir Charles has signified to the Union that he shall accept their offer of support, and stand for their Borough 1 A Coroner's Inquest was held 011 Monday last, at Birmingham, by Mr. Whateley, on the body of John Duffield, who died in consequence of injuries received in a pugilistic combat with Timothy Sanders. T he Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. It appears that the deceased was first cousin to Timothy Sanders, and that the surviving party was desirous of avoiding fhe contest. Mit. HUSKISSON ON PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. We wish that those gentlemen amongst us who pinned their faith 011 Mr. Huskisson, aud are now advocating the Bill for Parliamentary Reform, would refer to his speeches made on this subject within the last two years. On Mr. Tenyson's motion, May 5, 1829, to transfer the franchise of East lletford to Birmingham, speaking of the repeal of the test and corporation acts and Catholic eman- cipation, lie says, " I rejoice at these surrenders; but Parliamentary Reform, thank God, remains still to be resisted. There, I trust, the resistance will ever be firm,— will ever be successful. But sure I am, that the means of success will be greatly strengthened by adopting the advice of the Hon. Member for Bletchingley." Again, February 23, 1830, he says, " 1 have ever been,— I now am,— L shall continue as much as ever,— an enemy to what is called general Parliamentary Reform on principle; that is, to any general Reform in the formation of the House of Commons which is founded on the principle of theoretical improvement. Any such plan of Reform, 1 am convinced,— and all history, all experience, all knowledge of human nature and human passions bear me out in the conviction, however it might for a season adapt itself safely to ordinary and quiet times, would, upon the first great excitement of popular feeling, ( and such ex- citements are inevitable in every form of society,) subvert the whole frame of the constitution, and substitute for the security and protection of a well- regulated government either Ihe. pyils of democracy or those of despotism, or, more probably, the dreadful visitation of both these tyrannies in their natural order of succession."— Liverpool Courier. The rats which feed 011 the horse- flesh at one of the " Abattoirs" of Paris, are so numerous that the " Council of Health" ( in wliich we suppose Ihe Jurisdiction in such cases is vested) hare determined that the offal should be removed to a greater dis. tance from the city, lest a countless host of these destructive quadrupeds may make an incursion on the good people of Paris. Some idea can be formed of Ihe number, by the fact, thai on one occasion 6000 were killed, by some men and dogs, in a very few hours, A London Paper says— It is stated in the New York Observer of June last, and reprinted in the " American Temperance Society's Report," that there were 200,000 paupers in the United States, the poverty of 150,000 of whom can be clearly traced to intern, perance. We arc not far behind this in England, as may be seen from a report of the master of a London Workhouse, of which the following is a copy :•—" The GREAT AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— The letters from Pctersburgh this week confirm the great calamity occasioned by the fire 011 the premises of the celebrated deal merchant Gromoff, in the interior. The extent of deals destroyed, and four saw mills, are valued at 430,000 rubles. It is added, prices were already advanced in coiisequcnce, and expected to be very high.

There are five others, not enumerated in the above, who were lately inmates, but who have withdrawn themselves to avoid the punishment usually inflicted on drunk- ards; of t! iese five one is in the hospital, and two are in the House of Correction for stealing to gratify the insatiable thirst for intoxicating liquors," THE MARCH OF INTELLECT ANB REFORM. We live in an age distinguished by great pretensions to advancement in wisdom and knowledge. It may be doubted whether this estimate is true. It may admit of a doubt, whether a generation of men may not be affected in a way similar to individuals, among w hom self conceit is commonly found to accompany defective intellect and scanty information. Among the characteristics of the present generation, the following, when judged by men remote from con- temporaneous feelings, will possibly be regarded as rio indication of remarkable sagacity :— Theories are afloat which profess to aim at obviating by means of legislative arrangements the possibility of civil corrup- tion. Now it is riot denied that the end is good. It is not denied that legislative measures ought to he adapted to circumstances, and that cifcuriistances are continually changing: they lie,' therefore, under a constant necessity of conforming themselves, by pro- gressive modifications, to those alterations in the stale of things which, from time to time, will certainly arise. Yet still it cannot reasonably be doubted, that all human legislation which aims at the production of a moral influence will, if it proceed upon a sole regard lo its own intrinsic force and Unassisted power, disappoint the hopes of such' as rely upon it. Every scheme of political reformation, if it lay not the chief stress upon reforming the moral principle of indivi- duals, must be vain and delusive. The mass of society must be amended by the care which is em. ployed to amend the separate members of it. To think of so classifying and arranging men that flicy shall not have the power to be corrupt if they will, is a project little superior in value and dignity to the speculations of children. Your fabric may display a grand conception and a beautiful symmetry ; yet this will be of little avail if its component materials are unsound and worthless— that fabric will not endure. If, 011 the other hand, you desire to counteract the principle of Corruption in the human soul, then your endeavour can never be hopeless so long as Christian- ity shall be applicable to the state of man. This method of reformation demands only honest purposes and sincere efforts, directed by that wisdom which God denies to none that will ask him, which issues from his gift atul is inscribe.! in his holy word. To frame any arrangements of socicty which shall take away from human depravity the means and oppor- tunities of action, is a task far surpassing the utmost stretch of political wisdom ; but it is quite feasible, in the use of methods which God has provided, to repress the outward acts of crime, by counteracting that evil principle of nature which prompts the com- mission of them. Christianity must be the basis of every moral reformation ; and the materials on which it is to work ought to be placed within its influence before they have become untractable and stubborn. — Lancaster's Bampton Lectures for 1831. The motion brought forward by Mr. Sadler 011 Monday week, in the House of Commons, respecting the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland, is of the utmost importance to the country at large, as being-,, in tbe opinion of unprejudiced men, the only legis- lative enactment by which the woes of the suffcrsing classes in the sister kingdom can be alleviated. In the progress of bis speech, Mr. Sadler stated, that the in- habitants of Ireland were doomed annually to see 18,000,000 bushels of corn exported, the produce uf which was spent hy the landed proprietors out of the kingdom— and that there were 3,000,000 of unculti- vated acres, 2,500,000 of which were the most fertile soil in the world. We much regret the motion should have been lost by a majority of 64 to 52 ; but how- ever the adoption of a system of Poor Law s might be delayed, we are convinced the public voice, which in this case is so obviously 011 the side of justice and humanity, must ultimately prevail, and the wealthy absentees of Ireland be compelled to alleviate the miserable and degraded condition of their starving and neglected fellow- countrymen.
