LONDON— SATURDAY. Government has received official intelligence from Berlin, announcing the surrender of the capital of Poland hy capitulation mi the 7th instant, after fWo days' sanguinary contest in the vicinity, during which the Russians carried by assault all the intrenchments raised for the defence of the city. The Polish force, according to this account, followed liv the Diet and members Of the Government, retired through Praga on Ihe night of the 7lh, and the Russians entered 011 the following morning in good order.

N. will find his question answered in the Law Dictionary. WMWMVR MD& ISSFO AT BICTON HEATH. In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Lord JOIIN RESSIIL, in moving- the consideration of the Report on tire Reform Bill, stated that it was intended to give an additional member to each of the counties of Denbigh and ( armarthen ; and to create two new boroughs, to return one member each, viz. Ashton- under- Line, in Lancashire, and StroHd and Minchin'* hampton, in Gloucestershire. — Sir R. VYVYAN said, he had hitherto abstained from taking any prominent part in this bill, because he believed that Ministers would never he abff fo carry it, or to make it a per- manent measure. If they wished for a sound plan of reform, they might have one more general and sim- ple,— one embracing more of the property of the country. The plafi f'Aey had proposed was full of the most glaring anomalies, but mine Were greater than that of naming a commission to say who should or who shoftfd not have the right of voting, fie would state His belief that this bfll would never pass into a law. He repeated his conviction that* without some faggot votes elsewhere, the bill would never pass; and even then, if if did, it would be necessary to have another bill, ttf give tire people lhat which this bill professed to give, btrf which it Would never con- fer— a full, fair, and free representation in Parliament. — Lord J RSSSELL would meet the Hon. Baronet's affirmation with another, viz that the bill would pass. Ffe admitted that the difficulties were still great, hnt the feeling of the country in favour of the bill continued.— Sir R VVVYAN said, the King's Ministers had set themselves at the head of a move- ment which had never been seen before in the coun- try. The time was, therefore, past for resisting a change in fhe representation'; but' it was now the object of those who w< re anxious for the safety of the country to- introduce a principle of permanency— a system of reform which should not oblige the parlia- ment to quail before a seditious assembly,- but provide some security to property, ami to the remaining institutions of the country. Ministers had incurred a terrific responsibility, and they should take eare'lest they annihilated a body they attempted to increase. He feared they did not perceive Ihe position, the tre- mendous position, in which they stood at present. Let persons of high rank— however high their rank and power might be—-- bear in mind that that rank and that power Were supported by those who consi- dered they existed for the advantage of the country, and not for themselves; it was possessed by the few for the benefit of tbe many. If lie had no other reason for making these remarks than what was now passing on the other side of the water, they were sufficiently justified. This appeared to be a time wben change and innovation were dominant frorti" one end of Eftrope to the other. The Hon. Baronet concluded by observing, that not one of those who had heen returned to sttppnrt the bill had voted for the w hole bill, so greatly had if been changed ; whilst some had been rejected by their constituents for merely suggest ng lhat it required consideration. We are as heartily tired of ( he Bill, artel all per- taining lo it, as the House of Commons itself, which, having hastily enough chewed the first half of the incongruous stuff, bolted the remaining thirty clauses in the very despair of loathing. But wearied as we are with the Bill, we must not, on that account, so far abandon the duty of faithful subjects, as to pass over unanswered the foul calumnies daily poured upon Ihe King by the revolutionary, that is by the ministerial journals. Not contented with representing his Majesty as the ally, and even patron, of a rabble prepared to go any length of brutal violence for the attainment of its objects, we are assured by the journals in question that the King is determined to fulfil the revolutionary designs of his ministers, and of his falsely imputed allies, by an indefinite invasion of the House of Lords— Such a breach in the con stitution ns the creation of a mob of peers, for any special purpose, good or bad, we do not hesitate to say would lie a violation of the law, and therefore a violation nf the oath which his Majesty lately look under such solemn sanctions. We are not to be answered that the King is not forbidden by any • written law to create peers ad libitum. Mr Locke, in his Treatise on Government, has told us why English kings are not so frequently bound by written as by unwritten laws! As this reason might be thought disrespectful from us,, we shall leave the reader to look for it in Mr. Locke's Essay. Buttle custom of England is the law of England— and we challenge an instance, except the inauspicious one of Queen Anne's traitor ministers, in which an addition has been made to the peerage for the purpose of effecting any special object. Indeed, if the rule were not inflexible in this case, the House of Lords must have long since ceased to constitute any efficient member of the sovereignt y ; for it is plain that, if the King is at liberty to modify the house for the pur- pose of carrying Whatever point the King pleases, tl. e decision of tbat house must be, in fact, the deci- sion of the King. We state the proposition plainly, that it may be plainly intelligible to all: the King- though, according to the written law, be may en- noble the whole common hall, to he herded on Mon- day, wonld violate the unwritten law of England, nnd violate his coronation oath, if he should create one peer with a view to determining the fate of Lord John Russell's Bill. But a violation of the law, and a violation of his oath, are things which King William would he the last to commit— then let him be no longer insulted with such imputations Standard. The Examiner says—" The creation of peers il talked of as an expedient removing all difficulties and dangers. The King may undoubtedly march one of his regiments of Guards into the House of Lords, draw them up on the ministerial side and order their votes by tap of drum. The object would thus lie effected ; but the house of peers would he destroy- ed in the process. Anv considerable number of crea- tions to secure a mejority must, indeed, have the same consequence. For such a measure practically demonstrates that the House of Peers is an extreme power of the crown, nnd as available for Ihe bad as for Ihe good purposes of the crown. We have a William to- day— but we might have a Charles to- morrow, who would brew a House of Lords, in his own manner, for his own uses."

We believe it is almost needless to say, that the present Lord iVenlock is a descendant from the Lord Wenlock who, on the 29th November, 1469, obtained from Edward the Fourth the first chafter granted to the Borough of Wenlock, which charter was renewed, and the privileges thereby granted greatly extended, by a subsequent one granted on the 19th Dei ember, in the seventh year of the reign of Charles the First. It is pretty generally known, that in the reign of George the Fourth another family applied for this title, to which his late Majesty replied, " I will never injure one family by benefitting another." The King has been pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon Thomas Brancker, Esq. mayor of Liverpool, who presented an address of tohgritula- lion to their Majesties at the late levee. CORONATION. The Coronation of their Majesties was celebrated on Thursday at Prees, with every di m instration of loyal and enthusiastic respect— The R- v. Edward Nevile had caused to he slaughtered a fine fat ox, which he gave away to the surrounding neighbour- hood — In the evening he had all the children of the different schools regaled with tea, coffee, and cakes; and this worthy pastor, accompanied by bis amiable consort, attendid ill person at the ceremony in order to see tbat Ihe arrangements were conducted with proper regard to the comfort, & c. befitting the occasion.— At four o'clock, a large party of the gentry of the surrounding neighbourhood sat down to a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mr. John Ray, of the Red Lion Hotel, Mr. Darlington, surgeon, in the chair.— When the cloth was drawn the following toasts were proposed from the chair, and drank in half pints with enthusiastic applause : The King, and long may he reign, with 4 times 4 ; Her Majesty, with 4 times 4; Lord Hill and the Army; the Lord of the Manor; Sir Robert and Lady Hill; the British Navy, & c. & c.— The chairman said he was about to propose the health of a gentleman whom he was sure every individual present would drink with equal warmth as himself, at least all those who had the same opportunity of knowing his disposition nnd witnessing his frequent acts of benevolence as he had : he then gave the health of the Rev Edward Nevile, which was received with the strongest marks of ap. probation, and was drank in half pints with 3 times 3; the health of Mrs. Nevile was proposed and drank with ev^ ry mark of respect. Several other toasts were drank, and at an advanced hour, the chairman having vacated the chair, and John Dickin, Esq. having been called thereto, a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Darlington, for his gentlemanly conduct in the chair; after which the company separated, tnnili gratified with the conviviality of the evening.

A meeting of the Clergy of this Archdeaconry was held on Monday last, according to advertisement, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for some effectual alteration in the Beer Bill. But as measures to that effect are in contemplation, and indeed have already, wc believe, passed through the House of lairds, it was resolved to postpone further proceedings until ( he purport and operation of tbe intended improvement can be ascertained. As re- gards the prejudicial cll'eets of the Bill in its present state, there was but one opinion. PRICES or FUNDS AT THE CLOSE. Red. 3 pel- Cents. 3 per Cent.

THE REFORM BILL. V The Times and other Papers have commenced a series of attacks upon the House of Lords relative to this measure, and have even gone the length of threatening insurrection ( t) and the abolition of the peerage, if their Lordships do not agree to the Bill. — If the country were in such a state as to warrant these threats, it would be of very little consequence what their Lordships did with tlie Bill, and, w! at is more, the existence of their Lordships' House would be of very little consequcnce.— Tiie writers in the Times, kc. are, indeed, well aware tbat the Bill, if passed, will be another and a great step in the march of revolution ; and they scarcely refrain from avow- ing it. We have, however, on this point, the testi- mony of an able Republican writer, who, as he is a citizen of the t'nited States, and resident there, has no personal interest in the affair. What his views of the Reform Bill arc, will be found clearly and ably stated in our 4th page; and he demonstrates that this mis- named Reform is a REVOLUTION that can- not stop short until it leaves us without King, l ords, nr Established Church, and wilh a Government con- sisting of a majority of a House of Commons elic'ed by universal suffrage.— We request the serious perusal of his well- written arguments ; because he is one who, unlike ourselves, views this Revolution as a thing greatly to be desired, because it gives the ascendancy to those democratic principles that he wishes to see dominant. The Bazaar was opened at the Lyceum, on Tues- day, previous to the days of sale. It is utterly im possible to do justice to the splendour and profusion of Ihe gratifying exhibition. On entering the great room, nothing was to be seen but the most lively and dazzling colours, every hue and shade which could add brilliancy to the scene having been brought into requisition ; and the appearance of the whole, when surrounded by the gay and lovely managers and visitors, presented a picture most joyous and enliven- ing. The stalls were ranged round the room, and ( he middle was filled up in the same manner: yet, notwithstanding ( he skill employed in laying out the room, and the arches and lines erected over the tables in all directions, loaded with the fruits of art and dtisfry, so ardent was the praiseworthy competition to assist in this sacred cause, that the countless pro- ductions were crowded together in Such graceful abundance, that, before ( he spectator had seen tw entieth part of the innumerable objects before him, they appeared to multiply in such a manner as to be- come almost infinite.— The stalls were- numbered as follow, and were superintended hy the Ladles here mentioned :— 1 Mrs. Edwards, ( Rcby.) 2 Mrs. Wilson, ( Elms.) 3 Mrs. Porter. 4 Miss Colquitt. 5 Miss S. Molyneux, ( Newsham.) 0 Mrs. John Foster. 7 Mrs. Bold. . 7 8 Mrs. Bright. 9 Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. George Lawrence. 10 Mrs. Pownall 11 Mrs. Traill and Mrs. Sandbach. 12 Mrs. Sandars. 13 Mrs. R.

Langton, The sale continued during Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday ; and it was attended, particularly on the two first days, by a brilliant assemblage of the beauty and fashion of the town and neighbourhood, includ. ing a party from Knowsley ; and we are happy to add, that the success of this benevolent undertaking has far exceeded tile most sanguine hopes of ils pro- jectors.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Chirtmry, 19th Sept 1831. MR. EDITOR, Startled by the unfortunate fate of Mr. Huskisson on the Rail- road and of a friend in the Rothsay Castle, instead of intrusting myself to the tender mercy of that all- powerful agent— Steam, I determined this season to " stretch my legs" in my native county of Mont- gomery, into which, I had been told, the Schoolmaster had been introducing some new lights — whether for better or for worse may in some measure be inferred by my present communication. Having come down from town by the not be- steamed but the be- steeded, animated, and spirit- stirring Won- der of Friday, I spent the morning of Saturday in. viewing the great improvements so conspicuous in your beautiful town ( of which you certainly may now justly enterlain a Salopian pride), and highly indeed was 1 gratified with the appropriate restorations and charac- teristic embellishments which, through the noble mu- nificence and distinguished taste ofthe late and present Vicar of the Royal Peculiar of St. Mary's, adorn your Ecclesiastical Structures. It has ever been my delight to diverge out of " the shortest and most expeditions route," and in going along to see " life in the country." Finding lhat, besides his Majesty's Mail to the Manchester of Mont- gomeryshire, there was a coach ( called The Old Sovereign) to the Connty Town, which had lately been the scene of a memorable contest, I availed myself of the latter conveyance, and being told that it would take me near that beautiful and enchanting scene of nature— Marrington Dingle, I took up my abode for the night at " The Golden Cross," Chirbury, where good tare and fireside comfort have induced me for the present to fix my Quarters. After attending Divine Service in the noble- sized Church here, which, in the usual phraseology of the country, has been " repaired and beautified," I rambled through the romantic glen till I got within sight of the prettily situated village of Cluirchstoke. The singu- larity of the Spire drew me to a closer view, and at last I was induced to visit the church, whitjh I found had only a few vears ago been rebuilt, with the excep- tion of the Chancel, that having been rebuilt many years ago. To assimilate it more with the present structure, it is now undergoing alteration. Tlie apex ofthe gable end is surmounted by a stone cro^ s, on the pedestal of which is engraved IH S; but judge, Sir, of iny surprise when my eye was arrested by tlte follow- ing inscription, engraved on a stone inserted ill the wall immediately below it: — " REFORMED" " 1831." Struck with this new style of expression, I asked a by- stander, who was the author of it ? He told me it was " tbe Young Parson" to whom the snperintend- ance of the alteration was entrusted, and that as the Chancel was only altered and repaired, and not rebuilt, be was at a loss lor any other word than " Reformed." From this I inferred that lie was not of Alma Mater: but my informant, with a species of lofty triumph, told me that . I was mistaken, for that indeed the Young Parson was " one of the most larnedest genelmen at College," having been a" Sarvitor." Having heard that gen'lemen of lhat description wera, i if they distin- guished themselves, denominated by an appellation of a very opposite import— Wranglers— and never having even heard of the other appellation, I resorted to the library of the revered Reverend ot this place, and in the great work of the great Lexicographer 1 found that a Servitor is " One of the lowest order in the University."

Tuesday's market was numerously attended by town and country dealers, and there was a fair extent of business transacted in Irish new Wheats at a decline of 3d. per 701bs. on the prices of that day se'nnight. Old Wheats were very dull of sale at an equal reduction. New Oats and Oatmeal being scarce, maintained their value. Flour was Is. per barrel cheaper, and in limited request. Malt, however, was iri fair demand, and Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. The supply of new Wheat being very trilling, and the market, in consequence, bare on Wednesday and Thursday, rather higher rates were obtained for that grain, but having since had in- creased imports, fully equal to the demand, no improve- ment on Tuesday's rates can now be realized. A few cargoes of new Oats have also arrived, and this aiticle has barely sustained our last quotations. In old Wheat and Oats very little business lias been transacted, but we do not note any reduction in their prices since Tuesday. American Flour continues slow of sale, and may be purchased rather cheaper. In Oatmeal, either old or new, there is no alteration. Abont 1500 barrels Alexandria Flour in bond are reported to have changed hands, at 22s. per barrel. No sales have been made of bonded Wheat. Wbeat( 701b.) 8s. Od. to 9s. 6d.

Oh ! then thy tideSj remorseless deep!

THE IRISH YEOMANRY. The yeomanry plan was struct* out in the course of 1796, by a few individuals ofthe Irish bar— men who viewed the . state of ihe country then with laudable anxiety— who saw the imperfect constitution of the defence upon which Ihe government was supposed to rely— while A foreign war was raging wiih a fury un- known to former contests between nations— while Jacobinism was at full work debauching the populace of Europe; and while this evil energy was com- pounding itself with the ancient agitations which are peculiar to Ireland. The gentlemen alluded to saw that the sound portion of society should be preserved from the spreading peStilence— that it tWild be policy to enrol a large portion of it under a military designa. tion, and for military purposes-^- that it would be likely to give a healthful cast and course of action to the minds and spirits of thousands— guard against the improba syren Neutrality, and its enervation of principle, and cheer in the struggle those who rallied themselves round the laws and civil government of the realm, and who were ready to abide the severest issues. There was the example of the Irish volunteers before them ; but there was a defect in their military constitution, that their officers were neither appointed nor commissioned by the crown— that a proper con- trolling power over their military conduct was wanting, from which some inconveniences had arisen, not necessary now to allude to. The authors of the yeomanry provided by their scheme for this defect— they waited on the Marquis of Camden, who was then the Viceroy, to submit it for his consideration ; and after removing some objections of his, which were founded upon the examples left by the Irish volun- teers, the Lawyers1 Corps started into array, and the example was instantaneously followed by all the loyalty of Ireland. In all ( his we defy the ingenuity of & atan to discover the design of putting " arms into the hands of Protestants to keep down the Catholics." The Roman Catholics were at liberty to call for arms in support of the King and his government.— the muster- rolls of the royal levy were open to them as Well as any others; and I hose who did not do so, it must be presumed, had reasons more cogent than mere sentiments of loyally for their abstinence from military duties. A war which threatened England and Ireland with invasion by a reckless and profligate enemy that boasted of its partisans in Ihe hearts of both kingdoms, would well justify, we humbly con- ceive, every loyal subject of the British crown in flying to arms upon the most !: croical of motives ; but it is a monstrous and wicked perversion of facts and pain circumstances to assert that those who did not choose to bear arms at. such a juncture of danger and manly excitement, were the special Objects of oppres- sion to those who did bear them. The evils of the time were not limited to foreign war: the example of the French revolution of that day stirred the evil and rebellious spirits of men, more openly and violently than the modern revolution of the present day; the project of a republic and a separation from England— the chronic distemper of a great portion of Ireland — had its share in producing political combustion; but. the progress of ihe latter was wholly destroyed by being thwarted with what Oliver Bond called a " Catholic re- action, 1' and which he foresaw to be unavoidable when the experiment was too far ad- vanced to be retracted. The scheme of the republic, if it had no. other dangers to encounter, could not pass the " Catholic re- action" 1 of the period, and it perish- ed ; but in the double conflicts which the government of Ireland had then io contend with, who stood more faithful than the Irish yeoman ? Who beat the rebel out of every post and position with more success than li€ did ? who gave his blood more freely io his noble cause ? who, for their numbers, gave as many victims to honourable death as the yeomanry— or bequeathed more widows and orphans to the guardian loyalty of their country? If, in the expiring struggles of the united rebellions of Jacobinism and religious bigotry, the yeomanry were committed in battle against the bad multitude of an entire sect, it is easy to see which is the more blameable, the bigot rebel or the loyal soldier; anil if the latter have triumphed, and Cod be praised that it has, it is calumny to affix upon him at the end of many years, that he retains his arms for the oppression of a sect, and not for the general ends of public security; and it is political injustice and political cowardice, to found any arrangement affecting the honour or the efficiency of Ihe yeomanry upon that or any other calumny of the kind. What we have said of the origin of the yeomanry is matter for history. It is perfectly true, and the annalist who would pass it by is a traitor to truth. Lord Plunkctt, Mr. Justice . lebb— Mr. Joshua Sp< ncer, and Mr. William Saurin— all barristers— were among those who digested the scheme ofthe Irish yeomanry : and Ihey deserve the gratitude of their country for the honourable pains which they took to recommend it to the government of the time for adoption. We have many things to say, founded upon facts, to demon- strate the perfidy of the outcry raised against the yeomanry— but for the present we must stop.— Cork Constitution. While many of the Reformers in England profess to believe that the Reform Bill has no tendency towards Revolution, it may be important to know what is thought of the measure by those who are in no way personally interested in the result. We, therefore copy ihe subjoined observations from the American Review; a work published in the United States, and which being edited by a fealous and talented Republican, m£ iy be taken as a fair erisaittple of the opinions of those who would that Monarchy should cease. The Writer J3 onfe who honestly ( no j doubt) thinks that the perfection of human institu- tions is realized only in the United Stares of America, and he rejoices in the projected Reform in England, because he sees it conducting the mother country by an inevitable course into a Republic!— The article from which we are about to ^ juote is entitled " The Prospect of Heform in Europe, What that " Prospect1' is the writer sets forth as follows : — " And what is this plan of Reform in Parliament? " It. appears io us, that it is what it has been 1 declared to be, by { he most eminent of those who have opposed it in parliament; A REVOLUTION; a great change, carrying within itself a pledge of further change. It has been said of revolutions, that they do not go backward. It may with . equal truth be said that, they do not stand still till the goal is reached. The footmarks not only point forward, but they run on to the extremity of the principle. An American may be permitted to canvass the merits of this plan of reform, for in one of the speeches of the greatest ability,— ability visible through a wretched report,— which we have seen in its support, that of Mr. Macau!?}-, it is expressly contrasted with the ' Rule of Three1 system of the United States ; which system is declared to lie unfit for England, however well adapted for America. Now we are greatly mis- taken if the event do not prove that nothing short of the Rule of Three plan will satisfy the people of England, and that whether the present measure be adopted or not, a question which will, probably, be decided before our article sees the light, but of which it is impossible for us to foresee the decision. " What is the < Rule of Three plan V as it was originally called by Mr. Canning, and after him by Mr. Macauley, in ihe late debate. It is simply this, that if forty thousand inhabitants choose one repre- sentative, eighty thousand shall choose two. This is our Rule of Three system. Is it not just, is it not reasonable, is it not equitable? Can any other plan be adopted for a representation, which avowedly proceeds on principle ? Observe, it is not now a question, whether the present system of representation in Great Britain docs not work as well as ours, or as any system ; but w hether a great change in the pre- sent system, called a reform, which begins by wholly disfranchising sixty boroughs, because their popula- tion is under two thousand, and deprives of half their franchise forty seven boroughs more, whose popula- tion is under four thousand, can stop there? It is not pretended that these sixty boroughs are more than others corrupt. It is not pretended that ihey have not, on an average, sent a fair proportion of the ablest and mOst eminent members to Parliament; and it is not pretended that their corporate franchise is not as good and valid as any other right in the kingdom, resting on tradition and prescription ; but it is assumed as a principle, that no community pos- sessed of l£ ss than two thousand inhabitants shall send any member, and none possessed of less than four thousand shall send more than one< Now we wish to kno# whether this is hot, thus far, ihe Rule of Th ree system, Acknowledged to be just, by being thus adopted, but inevitably leading mucfi farther. What reason can be given* to Satisfy ihe inhabitants of some of the populous towns having no icpresenta- tion at all, and to which it is not proposed to give any ?* Oh the present system, the answer is ready ; and itisthisj— the British constitution does not pro- pose a geographical representation ; it finds Certain boroughs, some large and some small,- possessed of the right of sending a member to parliament for a long period of years," some of them from time imme- morial ; the system, in practice, Operates well, and it does not profess to be founded on the Rule of Three. But now come ihe reformers; they say it does not work well, that the House of Commons has lost the respect of the people, lhat it is an abuse which can- not be longer borne that boroughs of less than two thousand members should send representatives, alfho* they may have done it hy a prescription as old as any title in the kingdom; arid it is an equal abuse, that boroughs of between two thousand and four thousand should send more than one member. Well, then, cannot all the unrepresented towns in the king- dom, whose population exceeds two thousand, say, that if you discard tradition, ahd go upon reason- ableness and fitness, our right is as good as that of the represented boroughs? Surely ihey can and will. So too as to the counties. It will appear on the reformed plan, that counties differing widely in pOpu Jation possess the same share of power in constituting the House of Commons. Will Ibis be endured in a system which disfranchises sixty boroughs for no other reason than lhat their population is smaller than the others? " The necessity for farther reform will also be THINK NOT. The right of Old Sarum to send mem- bers to parliament is assuredly as ancient as the House of Lords. Old Sarum was a city before the Peers of England were a house of parliament. The whole parliament of England ortce sat within the walls of this ancient city, now to be deprived of the franchise which it has enjoyed for so many centuries. It is true that Old Sarum, now reduced to a wheat- field, enclosed by a mound, is a very different thing froiri. whst. it was when it # as first summoned by tlie king's Writ to send burgesses to parliament. But is it more changed than the HoUse of Lords is changed from its original character arid composition? What resemblance is there between the gentlemen who, with titles of nobility wholly destitute of theii* original meaning, fill the House of Peer.!, arid are distinguished in nothing but their titles from the rest of society, performing neither in peace nor war any functions peculiar to themselves, arid the bold barons of an earlier age— the retainers of the crown, wielding the military strength arid engrossing the landed property,' — that is, at that period, all the property,-~ of the realm? If the modern peerage retain any of the qualifications of the old peerage of feudal barons, it is their wealth. But considering- tint the peerage has no share in the commercial and manufacturing wealth of the country, wc are inclined to think that a number of commoners equal to the number of peers might be selected, whose aggregate fortunes should equal those of the peers. But whether this be so or riot, the contrast of the present with the ancient condition of Old Sarum is not greater than the contrast of the present with the ancient character of the English peerage. While then you disfranchise Old Sarum, because it is a theoretical absurdity that an individual nobleman should, as its proprietor, return two members to parliament, how can you defend the still more stupendous absurdity, that sime three or four hundred noble individuals, neither richer nor more enlightened than as many thousands in the community around them, should actually com- pose one entire house of legislation, independently of the people and the crown, and transmit this great franchise te their posterity ? We again wish the precise point we are labouring to be understood. We are not now arguing against a House of Lords; to moot that question in this country [ America], would be like reviving the Ptolemaic system ; but we are maintaining that the reasons alleged for disfran- chising Old Sarum gd the whole length of disfran- chising the House of Lords. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The proceeding of the ministers and their major- ity this night, on the double subject Of Aldborough aud Downton, is the most extraordinary of all their extraordinary proceedings. The astonishing incon- sistency of removing Aldborough from Schedule A, to Schedule B ; while, vice versa, Downton was re- moved from Schedule B to Schedule A, was already well known, and had been ably stated and com- mented on, in the debates on the schedules; but it was not until this night that these questions were - brought into juxta- position and contact, and that the inconsistency and injustice of the majority were, as it were, concentrated anc^ condensed into one view. The town of Aldborough is situated in a large though thinly inhabited rural parish, which con- iains altogether 2149 inhabitant; however minis- ters, to preserve their own nomination boroughs of Calne and Horsham having determined to bolster out these small boroughs by the addition of the parishes in which they were situated, it became necessary also to place the parish of Aldborough in Schedule B ; but Mr. Duncombe, knowing that Aldborough was an infinitely inferior place to many that hacl been disfranchised in schedule A, moved this night to replace Aldborough in its original position in that schedule. This was resisted by the ministers and their friends, and especially by Lord John Russell and Lord Morpeth, who, admitting that all that Mr. Duncombe had said of the com- parative littleness of ALdhonmg\ insisted, never- theless, that as the parish of Aldborough had 2149 inhabitants, it was entitled to remain in schedule B; for if, as Lord Morpeth said, Malton is to be saved by merely five inhabitants, why sh. ould not Aldborough be so by 149. On this the house divided, and 149 members voted for adhering to the line of 2000, and thus preserving* Aidborough, while 64 voted that the smallnesss of that town ought; to have condemned if. Immediately after this division, Mr. Croker called the attention of the house to the case of Downton, which, possessing 3,114 inhabitants, had been originally in schedule B, but had been removed at ihe suggestion of Lord Radnor to schedule A. The right hon. gentleman stated that he should not have again stirred this question, but that the decision which had been just made by so large a majority, of adhering inflexibly to the line originally drawn, rendered it a duty to give Downton the advantage of being one thousand SIR ISAAC NEWTON AND MR. CONDUIT. " It may be said that there is no clamour against 0ne hundred and fourteen beyond the line, as the House of Lords, and that there is a vehement Aldborough had been preserved by exceeding it by clamour against rotten boroughs. This is a reason of J only one hundred and forty- nine. Upon this state- a different kind ; and the fact; we believe, is partly made more apparent as soon as the application of CORONATION.— At the time when the King's Almoner was throwing silver medals amongst Ihe crowd, officers covered with stars, and we doubt not also with sears, were to be seen struggling and scrambling with diplomatists, and pages, and courtiers, and some rolling on the earth in the melee. The poor Almoner, too, has a good right to consider himself au injured man, for, no! withstand- ing the speed wherewith he was dispensing the much- coveted, though really paltry contents of his bag, the illustrious mob, in its eagerness, bowed him to the ground.— It is scarcely necessary to add, that he preferred resigning his bag to being smo- Ihered, and he was accordingly permited to escape without suffocation, and even w ithout broken bones. We are given to understand, however, his sword had not the same good fortune, and that it lay in glittering fragments on the golden carpet, like the blade of Menelaua ou the Trojan plain.— Morning Chronicle. the new and uniform system of suffrage shall take place. At present, the right of suffrage is very vari ously exercised in the different boroughs. When it becomes uniform, and the election is made to depend on the number of inhabitants in ihe several boroughs, possessing the requisite qualifications, and when great Questions come to be dccided by small majorities in the House of Commons, will the unrepresented, or inadequately represented population, submit io the abuse ? Will Leeds, and Manchester, and Liverpool submit to be represented by the sarrie number of riiemhers as the old bo roughs, whose populalion is ever so litile over four thousand? Surely riot. Those who suffer by th? imperfect application of the Rule of Three system,— lhat is, the majority of the people. — will clamour to have it carried through ; and liiey will have reason and common sense on their side Mr. Canning and the anti- reformists could answer them; but Lord John Russell cannot. The vice of the present system is, that it is the Rule of T hree plan, with a blunder in working the question. The question is, if the borough A has 4000 inhabitants, and sends two members, how many members shali the borough B send, which has 10,000. Lord Job Russell works the question thus; as 4000 is to 2, so is 10,000 to 2. But it is not. As 4000 is to 2, so is 10,000 to 5. Then if Lord John Russell should say, that, after all, he does not follow the Rule of Three principle, the next question will be, what principle, do you follow, in disfranchising wholly the boroughs under two thousand, and half disfranchising those under four thousand ? " it is to be considered further, that the popula tion of England is exceedingly homogerieotis. The people, on an average, are as enlightened and well informed in one borough and in one county as another; and if they were not, the reformed plan does not attempt to give any preference to the more enlightened few over the less enlightened many. T the manifest injustice of such a state of things already existing, the anti- reformer has his answer ready ; and il is an answer in the spirit of the British monarchial system. We take the representation as we find it, among the traditions of the monarchy, Specific abuses of bribery and corruption we willing to correct by disfranchisement in the indi- vidual case; but we will disfranchise no corporation on the Rule of Three system. The moderate re. former can give no answer; he can neither plead tradition nor the Rule of Three. He sins at once against the genius of the British constitution and the four rules of arithmetic. He can stand neither upon Lord Coke nor Cocker— the jus parliamentarium nor Ihe multiplication table. < l But it is by no means the most momentous con- sequence of the new plan of British representation, that it. must infallibly lead to radical reform and a geographical representation in the House of Commons. How will it affect the other institutions of the monarchy ; the House of Lords, the Established Church, and the Hereditary Crown ? On what foundation do these all rest? Is there any other than tradition and prescription? When they are subjected to the test of ihe political metaphysics which decide that no borough of less than two thou- sand inhabitants shall retain the franchise of choosing members, caw these other institutions stand? WE * The justice of our argument has been evinced by the amendments actually proposed by Lord John Russell, one of which is, thai every town ol a popula- tion over ten thousand shall have a member, ' l'his farther concession wo take to be made on the Rule of Three principle; but the ministry having been obliged lo make it, will the people of England be contented at the contrast between the old boroughs under four thousand sending one member, . and the t. e'. v boroughs over ten thousand sending 110 more ? The whig aristocracy do not yet clamour against ' their own order;' on the Contrary, they manfully sustain it; and the moderate reformers go along with them in this respect. Rut is a majority of the people of England, numerically taken, friendly to an heredi- tary house of legislation ; is the peerage popular with the radicals? Read the extracts from the penny papers in Ihe Quarterly Review for last October. Recollect tbe manner in which ihe axe was laid at the root of the Mouse of Lords in Ihe time of Crom- ell. We know the statesmen who bring forward the present measure do not propose to destroy the peerage; hut Will the like forbearance be observed by the agitators whom that measure will bring into parliament, and by the people whom that measure ill instruct in their strength, and animate in their zeal? " And if such be the prospects of the peerage, how 4vill it fare with the crown and the church? Let us dwell for a moment on the principle of these estab- lishments. Was it all mere arrogant assumption, all ratuitous fraud upon a credulous age, which taught that the establishment of crown and church waB jure ilivino ? Far from it. It was a calculation of the deepest worldly wisdom, a provision of the most con- summate selfish sagacity. Starting from the simple ftnd undoubted principles that Civil government is ap- proved by Providence, and that Christianity is a re- velation of Divine truth, men were trained ( in to the toleration, and at last to the reverence of an establish- ed church and nn hereditary crown, subsisting by the race of God. The subtle spirits who reared this fabric knew well lhat it could rest on no other founda- tion. The great master principle of human weakness, man's dread of tbe mysterious unknown, his self- prostralion before tbe Infinite, was resorted to, by the authors of these institutions, because no olher princi- ple was strong enough to subdue him to these insti- tutions. They looked round tor shoulders broad enough to bear this yoke. Chivalry rattled hei' sword at the very suggestion of it. The great barons looked over their battlements, and laughed at their fellow baron, the king, who, claiming to be greater than the greatest, was sometimes weaker than the weakest; but superstition offered his sturdy back fo the burden, and bore it, like the strong ass in the Bible, for centuries. But those centuries are passed. The Divine right of the crown and an established church are exploded, anil on what foundation do they now rest ? If Ihey rest on any other foundation than that on which ( he franchise of Old Sarum rests, we do not know wlmt it is. They are tbe traditionary institu- tions of England ; tbe pillars of tbe British monarchy. They are now, if you will, erect, but their basis is in- secure. It is not two centuries since the great usurper heaved them from their foundation; and showed that their substructions, as ( he historian says of those of the Roman Capitol, were insane. The era of the elder political fanaticism has gone by. A milder delusion succeeded, and the revolting features of the ancient toryism^ re now hidden under the mask of tradition. The sanctity of that tradition is in its turn assailed, and in it the only conservative principle of the British constitution. We do not say that the British constilution is doomed to irremediable abuse,— to the forccd toleration of any and every existing evil. But we humbly apprehend lhat ( he only principle of re- form which is consistent with its preservation, is the temperate correction of practical evils by specific remedies applied to the individual case. General and theoretic remedies lira inadmissible, for theoretically the whole monarchy is an abuse. " If this plan prevail, the ancient system will be in fact acknowledged to be abusive, and ihe reform will he the constitution. This new constitution will, of course, rest on a totally hew principle, viz. that no institution slmll be allowed to continue in England manifestly unreasonable in itself,— however ancient the prescription on which it rest3.

Upon this state- ineut— unanswered, aud, we believe unanswerable — another division took place ; and, strange and almost incredible to say, the very same men who ten minutes before had voted for Aldborough because it bad two thousand one hundred and forty- nine inhabitants, rejected Downton, although it had three thousand one hundred and fourteen.'! J This does ieem to us to be the most wonderful stretch of political effrontery lhat it haB ever been our duly to record. A fcmdrhalde and curious Conversation between Sir Isaac Newton and Mr. Conduit. The following paper, with the above title pre- fixed to it, was found among the Portsmouth MSS. in the handwriting of Mr. Condnit:— " 1 was on Sunday night, the 7th of March, 1724- 5, at Kensington with Sir Isaac Newton, in his lodgings,, just after he was come out of a lit of the gotll, which he bad had In both his feet, for the first lime, in the S3d year of his age. He was better after it, and his bead clearer, and memory stronger, than I had known them for some time. He then repeated to me, by way of discourse, very distinctly, though rather in answer to my queries than in one continued narration, what he had often hinted to me before, viz. that it was his conjecture ( he would affirm nothing] that ( here was a sort of revolution in the heavenly bodies; that the vapours and light emitted by the sun, which had their sediment fis water, aud other matter had gathered themselves by degrees into a body, and attracted more matter from the planets, and at last made a secondary planet ( viz. one of those that go round another planet), aud then, by gathering to them and attracting more matter, became a primary planet; and then, by increasing still, became a comet, which, after certain revolutions, by coming nearer and nearer to the sun, had all its volatile parts condensed, nnd became a matter fit to recruit and replenish the sun, which must waste by the con- stant heat it emilted, as a faggot would this fire if put into it ( we were sitting by a wood fire),' and that lhat would probably be the effect of the comet of logo sooner or later, for, by the observations made upon it, it appeared, before it came near Ihe sun, with a tail only two or three degrees long but by the heat it contracted in going so near the sun, it seemed to have a tail of thirty or forty degrees when it went from it; that he could not say when this comet would drop into the sun ; it might perhaps have five or six revolutions more first, but whenever it did," it would so much increase the heat of the sun that this earlh would be burnt, and no animals in it could live. " That he took the three phenomena seen by Hip parchus, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler's disciples to have been of this kind, for he could not otherwise account for an extraordinary light, as those were, appearing all at once among the fixed stars ( all which lie took to be suns enlightening other plants as our sun does our), as big as Mercury or Venus seems to as, and gradually diminishing for 101 months, and then sink- ing into nothing. He seemed to doubt whether there were not intelligent beings, superior lo us, who stiper- intende^ these revolutions of the heavenly bodies bv HASLEQOIN. Herlechin, or Hcllekin, or Ilarlekin, for the name is written in all these ways, was a Knight of France, who fought under the banners of Charles Martcl against the Saracens, and afterwards sub- sisted by pillage. Upon his death, says Ibe legend, he would have been condemned to eternal pains on account of his crimes; but in consideration of his meritorious prowess against fhe enemies of the faith, that punishment was commuted into an obligation to roam over the earlh by night for a certain time with those of his lineage, and endure the severity of penance.— History o f llichard Sans Pcur, Duke of Normandy, quoted by Mr. Tyrwhitt iu his Glossary on Chaucer v. Meinic. Normandv appears to have been the chief scene of these nocturnal apparitions.

In an obscure passage of the Tale of ihe Pardoncre and Tapstere, published by Urry in his edition of Chaucer, the name seems to be used for any troop of lawless aud disorderly wanderers : " As Hnrlewaynes mcyne in every hegg lhat rapes." By what steps this mournful or merry ghost of the Normans became transformed into the Arlechiti6 of the Italian comedy, and the Harlequin of the modern pantomime, would be a curious enquiry. The visor of the latter still bears a resemblance io ihe countenance usually given to a demon : and Ihis derivation seems more probable than that which deduces it from the dislike entertained by Francis Ihe First of France towards the Emperor Charle le Quint, or that which takes it from Harle quino, little Harlay, a comedian patronised by Ihe eminent Chancellor of that name.— Btaheicay's Sheriffs of Shropshire. MURDER AT B1LBOA. ( From the Liinerick Chronicle). Another victim has been addqd to that hecatomb of sufferers, which this lawless district has sent to their last account. Michael Griffin expired on Thursday morning at. the County Infirmary, from the effect of three gun- shot wounds in his thigh, inflicted while he lay fast asleep on his straw pallet, in a cabin at B'llboa, with his son aud wife. The circumstances of the attack appeared in our last. On Monday the Mayor proceeded to the County Infirmary, to hold an inquest on the body of this unfortunate man, and was assisted by Thomas P. Yokes, Esq chief magistrate of police. A jury having been impanelled; Martin Griffin, sort of the deceased, was sworn and examined. On the night of the 3lst of August he was in bed in the same bouse with his father, mother, and brother, when, two hours before cock- crow, he was alarmed by hearing a shot fired, and the Cries of his father; the shot was fired into the house through the door, and the bed lay opposite it; immediately after he heard another shot fired outside the door; it was the first shot ( hat struck his father, and it graced the legs of his brother, who was in the same bed ; there was no noise or signal given before the shot was fired ; in half an hour after the door was opened, and a written notice found outside 011 the ground ; it was brought in and read by the light of the fire. The notice was, that we should suffer death if we did not drop what we had in view— We were at this time herding on the farm under Mr. Wheeler. Ryan was the man who occupied it, and he was under notice to quit, though he still continued on the farm; the house was in a bog, and the country lonesome. Mr. Vokes here explained — Some years ago one Ryan, a wealthy farmer, held a large district of Bilboa under lease from Lord Stradbrooke, and he took in several score of under- tenants Upon Ihe land, so that when his term expired, the estate was covered with poor occupiers. Mr. William Blood, his lord- Ship's agent, who was murdered the other day, re- let the ground to those in possession, but it waS of 110 use, and he was obliged to forgive them heavy arrears of rent before he could get them out; in fact they absorbed the proceeds of the whole estate to themselves and their families, and Mr. Blood forgave them some years of arrears before he could clear the ground. They returned again, and he was forced again to put thetn out. When a respectable or wealthy farmer proposes for those lands, anil attempts to locate himself, those people are sure to frighten him out. by threats and intimidation, conceiving that aay other but themselves are usurpers of the soil. Mr. Wheeler tenanted a farm on it, and he was shot for doing so. Mr. Beary, another respectable tenant, commenced building and improving on the estate, anti he was served with a Rock notice to give up, or else ! The whole estate of Lord Stradbrooke in this district contains 13,000 acres ; the people in that part of ( he country are all Ryans and Kennedys, and will suffer none but themselves to occupy it— thus preventing any person of respeclabi'ity from living there. I have had liberty from Lord Stradbrooke to build a police barrack there, and I am determined to go on with it, notwithstanding the systematic opposi- tion which is offered by those persons. A whole family ( the Connelh) were immolated on this pro- perty a few years ago, all arising from the same cause. The mason employed to superintend the barrack has this week received an incendiary notice, that ;' f he would dare build a barrack for " Police or Proctors," he should suffer for it. Witness resumed.— His father bawled out ( he in sfaht ( he shot was fired; I thought and said it was the police, When the noise was heard outside; T saw Ihe wounds; he was perfectly helpless in conse- quence, and was brought into hospital the second day. Surgeon John Wilkinson sworn— The deceased Michael Griffin was admitted into Ihe hospital on the 2.1 instant; he had three wounds in his right thigh, produced by shot from fire- arms, and be c'ied this morning in consequence of them.— This leaden ball was extracted from the principal wound ; it is flat- tened to the centre by striking against the thigh bone, and 1 am surprised it did not break it; a bit of flan- nel cloth was found with it in the wound. The jury now proceeded to view the body, which presented a most painful sight. They fuund a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown. the direction of the Supreme Being. He appeared also to be very clearly of opinion that the inhabitants of this world were of a short date, and alleged as one reason for that opinion, that all arts, as letters, ships, printing, needles, & c. were discovered within the memory of history, which could not have happened if the world had been eternal; and that there were visible marks of ruin upon it which could not be effected by a flood only. When I asked him how this earth could have been re- peopled if ever it had undergone the same fate it was threatened with here- after by the comet of 1680, he answered that required the power of a Creator. He said he took all the planets to be composed of the same matter with this earth, viz earth, waler, stones, & c. but variously con- cocted. I asked him why he would not publish his conjectures as conjectures, and instanced that Kepler had communicated his : and though he had not gone near so far as Kepler, yet Kepler's guesses were so just and happy, that they had been proved and demonstrated by him. His answer was, " I do not deal in conjectures." But upon my talking to him about the four observations that had been made of the comet of 1680, at 574 years' distance, and asking liim the particular times, lie opened the Principia, which laid on the table, and showed me ( here the particular periods, viz. 1st, the Julium Sidus, in the lime of Justinian, in 1106, in 1680. " And 1 observing that he said there of that comet, " incidet in corpus solis," and in the next paragraph adds, " stellce fixee refici possunt," told iiim I thought he owned there what we had been talking about, viz. that the comet would drop into the sun, and that fixed stars were recruited and replenished by comets when they dropt into them; and, consequently, that the sun would be recruited too ; and asked him why he would not own as freely what he thought of the sun as well as what lie thought of the fixed stars. He said, " that concerned us more ;" and, laughing, added, " that he had said enough for people lo know his mean- ing."— Family Library, No. XXIV. Dr. Brew- ster's Life of Newton.

By an old Magazine it appears that for seeing tlie Coronation in the reign of Edward the First, a coin called a Q was given, or the half of a ferling or farthing, which was the fourth part of a sterling or penny. At Edward the Second's it was a farthing ; and at his son's, Edward the Third, a halfpenny. I11 Richard the Second's it was a penny, and continued the same at that of Henry the F'ourth. At Henry thr Fifth's it was two pennies, or the half of a grossus or groat; and the same at that of Henry tbe Sixth, ^ t Edward the Fourth's it was again the half- groat, nor do we find it raised at those of Richard the Third or Henry the Seventh. At that of Henry the Eighth it was the whole groat or grossus ; nor was it altered at those of Edward the Sixth and Queen Mary; but at Queen Elizabeth's it was a tester nr testour. At those of James the First and Charles the First a shilling was given, which was advanced lo haif- a- crown at those of Charles the Second and James the Second. At King William's and Queen Anne's it was a crown: nnd at George the First's was seen by many for the same price. At George the Second's some gave half. a- guinea, which sum was doubled at George the Third's. At George the Fourth's from one to ten guineas were demanded for seats, but the speculation was overdone, and in many Cases considerable loss was sustained.— Daily paepr.

EXTRAORDINARY FISH.— On Wednesday a fish, which was generally believed to be an enormoun mackarel, was exposed for sale at the stand of Mr. P. Conper, New Town Market, Buchanan. street, and attracted much attention, as its weight was no less than 13J lbs. being 27 inches long, and 18J inches round the middle. There were some slight appearances, however, about the fish, which induced a suspicion that it was not a mackarel of our waters, as it was covered round the shoulders by a hard substance resembling a thin shell, and the streak* 011 the body being horizontal and dim, instead of the bright vertical lines on the real mackarel. These objections were met by an allegation that the great age which the fish must have attained was sufficient to explain all these peculiarities. For. tunately, amidst all this doubt, the fish lay on the stand, untouched, till Thursday, " an enormous mackarel," and might have gone down so, had not a lady mentioned the matter to one of the gentlemen connected with the Andersonian Museum, who, on inspecting it, made a purchase, having instantly discovered that it was the Bonito, or Scomber Pelamys, well known in the tropical seas. We understand the fish was caught in the stake nets at Arrochar, Loch Long, and is perhaps the first of the kind that was ever caught in this quarter of the world.— Glasgow Courier. THE HUNTITF. S.— The constituents of the " Re- presentative of Ihe unrepresented" are in a state of the greatest distraction at Preston. Mitchell accuses The Gazette of last night is proof, or rather con- fession enough, that ministers have not the necessary material in Iheir power to inundate the House of Lords by ail infusion of numbers. Their allies of the revolutionary press will equally fail in their attempts to intimidate the peerage lo a decision Upon the Reform Bill repugnant to their conscienti- ous convictions by Ihe threat of democratic violence. This threat is much more likely to increase the strength of the resisting than of the conceding party iu the House of Lords. Every man of ordinary' spirit and good sense who doubts the abstract excellence of the measure will certainly resist it, so long as it is accompanied by ihe threat of democratic violence. What is yielded to con- viction is limited by the extent of that conviction, but to surrender anything to fear is in fact to confess that nothing can be refused. The people are much too Indifferent to the question of reform to be incited to violence, Whatever pains may be taken to inflame them upon the subject. The threat is a mere absurdity. But if it were not an absurdity it W'ould amount to a very grave accusation against the ministers ofthe King. What would be the pro- per appellation of a set of ministers who persisted in urging either House of Parliament to decide upon any question of speculative legislation with the conviction that the question can only be decided in one way without exciting revolutionary violence in the country? Traitors, no doubt. There is no other term by which to describe them. Can the legislature be superseded with the aid or even the connivance of ihe King's ministers unless those ministers are traitors? Let those partisans of the ministry who threaten the House of Lords with revolutionary violence answer this question, or let tliein forbear their insolent threats, or let them admit that ministers are so ignorant of the stale of the country as to be insensible to Ihe danger which their advocates can see so clearly, or let them say plainly that the ministers are traitors, aud lhat it is therefore they so warmly espouse their cause.— Morning Post cf Saturday. WHITEHALL, SEPT. 10— The King has been pleased lo order a conge d'elire to pass the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, empowering tbe Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Worcester to elect a Bishop of that See, the same being void by the death of Doctor Folliot Herbert Walker Cornewall, late Bishop thereof; and his Majesty has been also pleased to recomaieud to Ihe said Dean and Chapter, the Right Rev.

An investigation was iu progress at the College- street Police Office, Dublin, to ascertain the thieves, or lo learn the circumstances under which the parcel was abstracted; but beyond the fact that two outside and two inside places had been taken on the night of the robbery, nothing satisfactory had been elicited.

MELANCHOLY DEATH— A Coroner's Inquest was held at the Dolphin Tavern, 011 Wednesday, 011 the body of Mrs. Pickering, wife of Mr. Pickerin. butcher, in Bromsgrove- strect, who died the preceding evening. It appears by the evidence produced 011 the inquest that the deceased being indisposed, sent lo Mr. Wilcox, and in the absence of Mr. W. from town, she was attended by his assistant, who prescribed a draught. Instead of sending the medicine as directed, the apprentice, Charles Dalton, by a very blameable oversight, wrapped up a phial of prussic acid, which was lying on the counter, very unfortunately undis- tinguished by a proper label, and of similar capacity ( about an ounce and a half, and two- thirds filled) to that which lie had prepared. The bottle it appears was not accompanied with a direction for the patient, but being in the form of a draught, was immediately administered to her. lis fatal effects soon began to appear, and in about three quarters of an hour life was extinguished. No blame is attached to the medical assistant. A verdict of accidental death was recorded— Charles Dalton, the apprentice, received, at the request of the jury, a severe reprimand from Ihe Coroner.— Birmingham Gazette.

Mitchell and Irvin, Hunt's proposer aud seconder at the election, accuse each the other of having applied the election funds to his own use ; and Irvin adds lhat he is prepared to prove that Mitchell is a perfidious spy. Meeting after meeting has been held to establish and to rebut this crimination and recri- mination, and the walls of Preston are embellished with placards " fending and proving." We have neither space, time, nor inclination to enter into the particulars of these complicated charges, which we shall dismiss by observing, that they remind ua forcibly of the case of the two Liverpool merchants, who appeared some years ago upon ' Change, and denounced each other as rogues; and the public very good- naturedly believed them both.— leedt Mercury. The Earl of Radnor has written a letter to the Edi tor ot the Manchester Advertiser, in reference to the nomination of Mr. Cobbett to represent that town. The noble Earl gives his opiuion, that as Mr. Cobbett has long foreseen the increasing em- barrassment of affairs, he would be more likely than any other person to devise a remedy for them, and therefore that his presence in the House of Commons would be very useful. Earl Radnor also states his conviction, that measures must be adopted to the full extent of any that have ever been proposed by Mr. Cobbelt, and not only expresses his wish to subscribe £ 50 towards the expenses of Mr. Cobbetl'a election, but says, he shall be willing, if necessary, to add a second subscription. THE TARTARY OAT.— We have just been shown a couple of ears of this singular oat, grown upon the property of Robert Kirk, Esq. of Drunstinchel, in Galloway. It is the first of the kind, we believe, that has been grown in that district, but if it pos- sesses all the qualities we have heard attributed to it, we think it likely to become soon very generally cultivated. It grows 011 a long strong stalk, up- wards of five feet high, the head branching inlo several minor stalks. The ears which have been shown us are fully nine inches long, the pickles springing all from one side, and so numerous that from 100 to 130 pickles is Ihe average produce. Mr. Kirk, indeed, expects to have a return of 20 bushels for one. One remurkable characteristic of this oat is, that it has been found to thrive best on poor soils, aud therefore well adapted for the moor- land parts of Galloway. We should consider tho quality of this oat coarser than the ordinary kinds at present in cultivation— the straw is decidedly so, and altogether we think it unlikely that theTartar, oat will ever become popular iu rich low- lying dis- tricts, but we certainly think it will be found a most useful oat in the high lands, and where the straw may be appropriated to the bedding of cattle, thatching, and other domestic purposes.— Dumfries Journal. One evening last week, a horse belonging to Mr. English, livery stable keeper, High- slreet, Exeter, strayed from his stable, and coming in contact with an ancient and capacious staircase, deliberately ascended to the second slory, where he popped his head in at the door of a room in which an honest couple were at supper. Tlieir surprise at the appearance of such a visitant may be guessed; the animal, however, conducted him- self in a perfectly orderly manner, and was without injury restored to his old quarters.
