WHAT SHOULD THE PEERS DO? [ From Blackicood's Mqgozine.] « Popular opinion," says ( he ablest of tho writers in favour of Reform,"* " once allowed to take the lead, wan runs riot ; it appoints its own rulers— it dictates to than— it deposes tlicm ; anil nothing but great temperance, anil mutual forbearance, and linal union on the part of the early and more moderate parties, can check its destructive career. We will not follow this St. I- awrence to its Niagara; the course is fatally snre." f Never Were truer sentiments uttered hy man; n ver any of which passing events more completely demonstrate cfie jtisfice. How did they find their way into a publication intended to hasten the victory of the populace over the last bulwarks of order and intelligence? Because, in a powerful mind, historic truth prevails over temporary delusion; anil the rxprrient e of ages furnishes the antidote to the poison of faction. The author we have quoted, asks, What will the l. ords do!" and he concludes, that, " though a vast majority of the House of Lords have a general, though partially concealed hatred of the Reform'Bill," J they w ill pass it in opposition to their better judgment, from timidity, the love of ea « e, or thedirad of an excessive addition to their numbers. We will not follow his example, or hazard a prophecy of what tbe l. ords will do; but we will say ( irmly and fearlessly what thev ought to do. Popular opinion, as this author truly says, when once allowed to take the lead, soon runs riot. It was allowed to take Ibe lead when Earl Grey asdended to office; and has it, or has it not, since run riot? What do the manufacturing Cities propose as tbe ends • if reform? Mr Cobhett, the member eleet for Man- chester, declares he is tu propose tbe immediate con- fiscation oftheohuiT. lv property— the cessation of non- payment of dividends after two years— the abolition of Ihe standing army, and the raising of a militia, with officers appointed by Parliament, in its stead, in all Ihe counties. The electors of Bolton have declared that they are to require pledges from their representative, that he will support an immediate repeal of the corn laws— an equitable adjustment of the national debt, in other words, confiscation ofnne half of every man's funded property— the abolition of all taxes pressing on the middling, or lower orders — the appropriation of the cliulch property to the public necessities— the abolition of the right of primo- geniture. What must follow from the adoption, or siriuvs and incessant discussion, of such projects as these?— National bankruptcy, individual ruin, tbe failure of every Bank in the kingdom— the stoppage of industry— the starvation of the poor— the abolition of the peerage— the overthrow of the throne.—" We will not follow this St. Lawrencc to its Niagara; the course is fatally sure.' 1 " Need the anti- reformers," says the same anthor, " be reminded of the result of those court intrigues, and of that conservative hatred, which at lengdi succeeded in driving Neckar, the French l. ord dreg, from the ministry ? Will they profit by tbe example ? 1 trust they may." § So it is admitted hy themselves that Neckar was the French Earl Grey ! And what was saiil of Neckar hv the greatest man of modern times, the one 011 earth Who profited most by his reforms? " The projects of Neckar," said Napoleon Bonaparte, " were more ruinous to France than those of any other man. It. was he that brought about the Revolution. Dan- ton, Mnrat, Robespierre himself, did less injury to the country than the Swiss fetormer. All the blood that was shed rests on liis htfid. Nothing is so fatal as such popular projects; the learned are carried away by them, the populace transported, the cautious intimidated, the public happiness is in every mouth; and meanwhile trade is suspended, industry withers, the people are without bread, they revolt, the reign of blood succeeds, and that is all that is gained by silrh theories."^ Neckar retired from the Ministry, and there the author of this pamphlet leaves him. Was it that which occasioned the Revolution ? Quite the reverse He resigned in 1780, and the Revolution did not break out for nine years after. What then brought it 011 ? We will follow this St. Lawrence to its Niagara. He returned to office ih 1780, instantly set on foot his projects of reform, and strained the royal prerogative to overcome the opposition of the Nobles, lie doubled, by royal ordonnance, the number of the members of Ihe Commons, set the populace on lire by the prodigal gift of political power, convoked the Slates General, put the King at. the head of Ibe move- ment, made hint for a little brief space the most popular man in France. And what Was the conse- quence ? The monarch beheaded, the nobles abolish- ed, their estates divided, themselves guillotined, ( he public debt abolished, Ihe reign of terror and the rule of Robespierre. : c Will tbe Peers profit by the ex- ample ?" We hope they may. " Past events," says fhe author, " may he regretted. but they cannot he changed ; and those who mourn over their effects, will not strongly evince the purity of their hatred of all excitement, by pursuing measures tending directly to increase it." Historic truth already beginning ( o assort ils eternal ascendancy over temporary error. " Past events"— the prodiga" offer uf political power to tbe people, the excitements of the dissolution, are even now spoken of by its authors as a subject of " regret." And how are its rltects proposed to be remedied ? By a continuance of the same fatal system which has brought 11s to this last nnd perilous pass. Finding ( hat yielding has quadrupled Ibe power of ( he enemy of order— that past error has become the subject of regret even to its own authors, they propose au extension of the same concession, a continuance of these errors, as the onlv means of averting its disastrous effects. The Peers in England yielded to al! tbe demands of the Long Parliament and the populace ; they sent Strafford to the block— passed ail the revolutionary hills sent up to them— and remained passive spectators ofthe Civil War. What ilid they get by it? The abolition of their order, the death of their sovereign, ( lie tyranny of Cromwell. Tbe Peers in France not only ' concurred in, hut voluntarily set themselves at the head of all fhe Re- form projects with which Neckar, " the French Lord Grey," inflamed Ihe country. They surrendered Iheir right of silting in a separate chamber; gave up their titles, dignities, and privileges, abandoned the church property lo the people ; concurred in a highly democratic constitution ; and what did they obtain in return for so many concessions > Exile, contempt, confiscation, and death. Again, in 1831), they set themselves fo head the movement. Tbey made no stand in defence of the crown. They adopted the revolutionary sovereign. They yielded, without a struggle, to the current. Where are they now? Despised, insulted, and beat down; abolished as hereditary legislators; reduced to the rank of mayors and aldermen. The Peers of England, in 1793, boldly fronted the danger. They refused to yield to popular violence, despised tbe threats of Revolution, put themselves at the brail of the conservative party, and nailed the colours of the constitution to the mast. What was the consequence ? Returning confidence, renewed prosperity, unheard- of public welfare, unprecedented glory, the conquest of Trafalgar, the field of Waterloo. The country, Ihey may be assured, will be true to them, if they will be true lo themselves. The rabble, the radicals, the populace, will rave aud thunder and despair ; but all who have a thought to bestow, a shilling to lose, will rally round tbe constitution the moment lhat they see leaders on whom they can rely. This is what is wanted ; it is not bold and determined soldiers for the army of order, it is firm and uncompromising chiefs. Tliev have fallen in public estimation, but it was the fatal weakness about the Catholics that lowered litem. Another repetition of the same mistake, in opposition to their knmvn opinions, will for ever sink thein into contempt. One glorious stand will make thein stronger tlmn ever, and bury the recol- lection of one aet of weakness, the source of all our disasters, in the remembrance of one act of firm- ness, the beginning of a new era of glory. If the Peers desert their duty now; if they refuse to lake that lead in defence of the country which their high descent, their noble birth, their historic names, their vast possessions, their acknow- ledged and unrivalled abilities, entitle them to assume, they will never recover their fall, and they never ought. The Conservative Party will break up in despair. They will emigrate, bury themselves iu retirement, leave the field in which their generals signed a capitulation when victory was wilhin their grasp, and await iu silent despair till suffering and wretchedness has calmed the fever of passion among their countrymeu. Never need they hope to rouse the people^ if they now abandon them. Vain will be their exclamations, hopeless their appeals, contemptible tli ir cries, when tbe tide of conquest approaches their own doors; when their honours are abolished, their oslaies divided, their children exiled. Tlie people will exclaim:— You abandoned us when we were in danger : Can you expect ns to support you, who have delivel- ed us over to the enemy ? We venture 011 no prophecies ; but we trust in a very different result. We trust in it from the evident peril ofthe proposed measure; I tie con sternation which, from Cornwall to Caithness, it has excited among all who are either respectable by their thoughts, or influential by their possessions; from the proof which the Cambridge election gave of the sense of the most educated, and that which tbe recent defeats of the Reformers has given of the returning sense of the humblest among the people; from the vast services which in times past the aristocracy have rendered to the country ; the tried firmness of the present leaders of the Con- servative Party in Hie Upper House, and the great abilities and individual weight of a large propor- tion of their numbers. If they are true to them- selves, we have no fears of the result; in times of danger, the boldest course is in the cud the most prudent. We trust that the glorious example of their predecessors will not be lost 011 tliem, and that in this last crisis they will be as true to their Country as they were on lite field of Runnymede. The regiments under orders of embarkation on board Sir'Edward Codrington's fleet at Cork, it is now stated are destined for the Mediterranean and the West Indies, to relieve other regiments about to return home, and not for Lisbon as has been supposed.

The Dublin Evening- Mail of Monday gives the following on the authority of a Correspondent 011 whom it states it places implicit confidence -.— On Thursday, the Earl of Winchester ( who holds a high office in tbe King's Household, that of Gold Stick) waited on l. ord Grey, and announced to him tbat although he had been originally an advocate fnr Reform tn a certain extent, that from the position of affairs just now, and the course that had been adopt- ed with respect to the measure, he had come to the determination of opposing it in the House of Lords, and that ill fact lie should vote against it. Lord Grey, who reckoned upon him as one of his principal supporters, called to the Noble Lord's recollection that he was a member of his Majesty's Household, and as such bound to support his government, and accede to his known wishes upon this important sub- ject. His lordship replied, that he was perfectly aware of the position in which he stood, that he was, of course, prepared for tbeconsequenccs; but that having received his appointment from the King himself, into his hands only would he resign his trust. The Premier afterwards had an interview w ith his Majesty upon the subject; and complained in the severest terms of the want of support be had received, nnd insisted, if it were only for example's sake, upon the dismissal of Lord Winchester. The King however peremptorily declined to accede to the request, stating that Lord Winchester had been one of his oldest and most attached friends; and that no power on earlh could induce him to be a party to his ( lis missal.

INCENDIARISM. Destructive Fire at. Chadderton Ilall. One of tbe most respectable meetings of the mer- chants and bankers of the metropolis that, ever assem- bled, was held on Saturday at tbe City of London Tavern, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to reject the Reform Bill.— William Ward, Esq. tbe late Member for the City, was unanimously voted into the chair; when the following Resolutions, and a petition founded thereon, were proposed by Mr. Horsley Palmer, seconded by Mr. Mitchell, and carried with only four dissentients:—• " That this meeting view with apprehension and dismay, the bill for the reform of the Commons House of Parliament, which is now before the House of Lords. " That we consider this bill to be a speculative irieasuie, the effect, of which upon the credit, commerce, and prosperity of the united kingdom, no human saga- city can foresee ; and we fear tliat the British constitu- tion which has stood the test of ages, will ( if the hill pass into a law) be so shaken, that the ruin ot-. aU exist- ing institutions must be the consequence. ." That it is the peculiar province of the House of Lords to interpose when the clamour of a misguided multitude prevents truth from being dispassionately heard, and the sentiments of his Majesty's loyal sub- jects are stigmatised as the voice of faction. " That a petition to the House of Lords be presented, praying their Lordships, by rising above all intimida- tion, to exercise their undoubted constitutional right; and, by refusing their concurrence to the bill in ques- tion, rescue our glorious constitution from tlie danger with which it is threatened." Lord Ashley, son of the Earl of Shaftesbury, has offered himself a Candidate for the Representation of the County of Dorset, in the room of the late Mr. Calcraft.— The election commenced on Friday last; and at the close of the second day's poll, on Saturday-, the numbers were— for Lord Ashley 692— for Mr. Ponsonby 516— majority for Lord Ashley 176.— Lord Ashley is an avowed Anti- Reformer. The election of Lord Mayor commenced on Thurs- day. Tliey re- election of Sir John Key, Bart, was. proposed to the Livery by Mr. C. Pearson, arid Sir Peter Laurie, the Alderman next in rotation, by Mr. Easthope, M. P. Mr. Alderman Thorp was also put into nomination by the friends of the present Lord Mayor. After much confusion, the show of hands was declared in favour of Aldermen Key and Thorp, and a poll was demanded in behalf of Sir Peter Laurie— At the close of the Poll this day, the num- bers were— Lord Mayor (> 249— Thorpe 2102— Laurie 2059.— All the parties are Reformers. [ FROM THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE ] The discussion of the Reform Bill commenced last night, on the motion of Earl GKEY, that it be read A second time. The motion was supported by the Earl of Mulgrave, l. ord King, and l. ord Holland. l. ord WHAHNCLIFFK said, if Ihe House passed this Bill they could never resist the decrees of a reformed House of Commons, liis I. ordship, therefore, moved, as an amendment, that this Bill be rejected ; and he called upon their Lordships to do their duty, inlawed by threats or intimidation.

On Sunday night, Mr Lowe, tenant under Charles Recce, Esq. of an extensive farm attached In Cbadder ton Hall, between Middleton arid Oldham, having heen to pay a visit to a neighbour named Miller, who lives about a quarter of a mile distant, anil had been confined hy illness, returned to his house, which stands on the high road, soon after ten o'clock. He immediately asked his wife if all ( heir labourers had returned home, and was informed that only one man, named John Chadwick, was absent. He then took a lantern and pfocceded to his stable, on the opposite side of the road, to fodder a horse. He gave it some grass, first placing tbe light 011 the floor, and returned into the house. He sat up with his wife till near half- past eleven and then retired to bed. Mrs. Lowe followed soon afterwards, and before she was un- dressed they heard Chadwick talking in front of the house with some person. In a few minutes he went round to the back and knocked tip a fellow workman named Stanley, who let him into the house ; Mrs. Lowe having first, at the request of her husband, thrown up the window and inquired who was there. All appeared then quiet as usual, and Mrs. Lowe states tliat she cast her eyes across the highway to fhe farm, and saw nothing to excite any suspicion. Chadwick got his supper, which had been left for liitn — but ill a few moments after he had entered the house Mrs. Ixnve heard a crackling noise and asked her husband what it was ? He said it was only C'hadwick going up to bed -. the rattling still con- tinued, however, and Mr. Lowe, suspecting that somebody was attempting to enter the house by the front door, jumped out of bed, threw the curtain aside, anil, looking involuntarily towards the barn, perceived through the roof, which was untiled, and consequently presented several apertures, that the whole back of the barn was on fire, and ran out of the house, followed immediately by Chadwick, who, not having had time to get inlo bed, was the first down of the men. Mr Lowe ran direct to the stable, but the door being locked he had tn go back fo the house fur the key. As soon as he had unlocked and entered it, however, he fomid all right, anil the horse quietly eating its meat, and thus was satisfied that his lantern had not ignited any thing there. He turned the horse out, and, aided by his men, cleared the stable of all gearing and moveable things. From the shippons and other divisions at the front, of the building, sacks and various small articles were hastily conveyed, the fire being still entirely confined to the back. By this time the people began to flock from the small village of Chadderton and the neighbour- hood, for the fire, having the wind directly upon it from the north- west, and only dry old oak to consume, spread with the utmost rapidity, and afforded one of tlie most appalling and awfully- magnificent spectacles lhat the eye ever beheld. Of course there was 110 venturing to the back, where corn, wheat, anil hay were closely stacked— the flames held their dreadful way unchecked and undisputed. When the un- fortunate and most immediate sufferer, Mr. I- owe, bail so far regained his stability as to be able to determine upon any thing, he bethought him of procuring a fire- engine, although many persons assured him that it was useless. His men attempted to catch one of the horses ( lying out) for the purpose of gallopping off to Oldham, hut all the catlle were panic- stricken by tbe glaring and unnatural light of the Conflagration, and ran wildly over the land. A neighbour, however, Mr. Mellor, of Chadderton Mill, we believe, with the greatest kindness offered the use of his horse, and a man was despatched to Oldham, distant about two miles and a quarter by tbe regular road, for an engine. It arrived in the course of an hour, and, during the interval, scarcely anything wits or, in fact could he done to diminish the fatality o? the occurrence. By the time the firemen reached Chadderton several hundred persons were congre- gated, all of them desirous to render assistance. The conductors of the engine determined to play upon the stable and shippous. at the south western ex- tremity of the pile, and nearly all the people carried water from a pond in the park, seventy or eighty- yards off, to feed the engine and to be thrown by buckets upon the flames. After continuing here about an hour the engine was moved to the hack of the building, where it was more readily supplied with water. There it remained until towards four o'clock, when the works got out of repair, and the men soon afterwards, without offering further aid of any kind, and while the devouring element was yet dominant, ordered Mr. Lowe to find them n horse to re- convey themselves and their machine to Oldham. Wilh this peremptory and ahominablp demand, the farmer, while the fruits of his industry were still blazing before him, was compelled at once to comply, and away the " firemen" went.

O11 Friday last, Thomas Farmer Dukes, Esq. was sworn into the office of Mayor of this Town and Liberties for the year ensuing; on which occasion he gave a sumptuous dejeune a la fourchette to the Body Corporate.— On Sunday morning, he went in procession to St. Mary's Church, attended by the members of the Corporation; previous to which they partook of a splendid breakfast at his residence, Windsor place. On Thursday last, the new Bailiffs of Bridgnorth, John Dyer and Charles Clarke, Esqrs. were sworn into oflice; on which occasion they gave a most sumptuous entertainment, to a very large number of friends, the Gentlemen of the town and neighbour- hood, in Ihe Guildhall. The venison, game, & c. together with every delicacy of the season, were served up in profusion; the wines were of fine flavour; and the judicious manner in which the entertainment was conducted ( by Mrs. Smith, of the New Inn) gave general satisfaction. The evening passed with the greatest good humour and convi. viality; and morning's light beamed ere the party had generally retired. We have the pleasure to state that Mr. Charles Kennedy, 011 the first occasion on which he could offer himself as a candidate for that honour, was on Saturday elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cain- bridge.— Mr. Charles Kennedy was a pupil of Arch- deacon Butler, at the Royal Free Grammar School, in this tow- n. The Quarterly Assembly of Guardians of the Shrewsbury Poor United District took place on Monday last; but none of the parties engaged in concocting the notable report lately issued, recom- mending the sale of the House of Industry, made their appearance ; and in consequence no question was brought before tbe Guardians for discussion. SEVERN FISHERY.— Thomas Taylor, of Ironbridge, has been convicted and fined, by I1'. B. Harries, Esq. in the sum of £ 9. 10s. including costs, and also Thomas Gough, of Broseley, £ 2, 10s. for unlawfully fishing with nets in the River Severn, in the parish of Coiiitd, in this county : in default of non- payment, the former is committed to our Hou e of Correction for three months, and the latter for six weeks.— It is hoped that informations will be laid against the. like offenders in oth" r places. Subscriptions are raising in the neigh- bourhood of Ironbridge and Broseley, for the purpose of carrying into effect the laws appertaining to the pre- servation of the Severn Fishery. SALE OF RACERS.— The second horse for the Great St. Leger, The Saddler, lias been sold to Mr. Wagstaff for 3000 guineas; nothing but the ex- cellence of his blood, which will make him a fa. shionable stallion, can justify so enormous a price; lie is of the best south country stock, his sire, Waverley, beimr a son of the celebrated Whalebone, and his dam, t astrellina, by Castrel, little inferior. It is curious that the second horse for the Derby, Riddlesworth, fetched 3,500 guineas, and the second for the St. Leger 3000, while neither of the winners would probably fetch more than 2000: thus it is that in these great races the best horse very seldom wins. The Marquis of Sligo has sold Fang, the winner of the Two Years Old Stakes, 011 Thursday, to Mr. F. Richardson, for £ 3,300 and half his en- gagements! n price perfectly unprecedented, and exceeding ( if we consider to receive the stipulation to receive half the winnings) by more than £ 1000, the largest sum ever yet paid for a two years old. Earl Wilton has purchased Chancellor of Mr. Bower, for £ 800, and lias also bought Bras de Fer of Lord Slitro. Mr. Riddell lias sold Emancipation to Mr. Golly for £ 1,500. I11 tbe course of Friday mornins-, Mr. Skipsey refused 1200 guineas for C'astrellinn, The Saddler's dam, for whom lie gave a £ 10 note three or four years ago ! INVENTIONS FOR THE LADIES.— We have been favoured with a sight of shoolbred's new- invented Elastic Corset, Hie properties of which can only be appreciated by an inspection of tbe article. 1 i. s construction is such us to coin bine elegance witll utility ; and from the liberal anil deserved patri> nage it has met w it Ii from the most eminent surgeons in London, we have no doubt it will toUilly supersede the corsels in ordinary use. It ought especially to claim Ihe attention of those persons who have young ladies under their care, as, b" substituting yielding corsets for unyielding ones, it will save our lair country women from tile thousand natural ills ttie waist is heir to. Considering: the havoc that tight. lacing has made among tbe fair sex, we cannot but think that society is indebted to the Inventor of lliese Corsets for what he has nrcomttlished. Added to Ibis, lie has a number of ingenious inventions with bitn for supporting the human frame, which will amply repav anv one for their liine and trouble in view- ing the same. - SEP, ' A OVERT. THEATRE— It will be seen by the Advertisement, that Mr. BENNETT, our highly respected Manager, lakes his Annual Renefit on Wednesday next, which, we Have 110 doubt, will he fully and fashionably attended, as Mr. B.' s indefatigable exertions and spirited manage- ment cannot fail to ensure both approbation and suc- cess.

It is certainly a great improve rnent, and will facilitate the communications in that direction; but we apprehend that few will avail themselves of it, with the exception of farmers to convey lime for manure, & c. as travellers Will give the preference lo the YspyUy and Llanberris roads, to go into Carnarvonshire ; mere especially as that part which is tbe Ffestiniog District is in very had condi- tion ; we could wish, therefore, to call the attention of the Commissioners to that, and to the road by Tanybwlch to Tremadoc. Their funds, we are told, with proper management, arc fully sufficient to keep all their roads in good order. The system and principles of the Reformers— their horror of non- resident voters— and their abhorrence or' trick and deception— Were evinced at the election of Bailiffs for the Borough of Caernarvon on Wed- nesday hist; — when Lord Anglesey's agents brought about 200 of his Lordship's miners from Anglesea lo outvote the resident Burgesses of Caernarvon in their choice of the municipal officers for that town ; a function hitherto exercised solely by such burgesses as were residents of the Borough. CRICKIETH— The corporation cf Crickieth held their annual meeting on Thursday last, according to their ancient charter. As usual Mr. Orsmby Gore invited tbe burgesses and freeholders of Eifionydd to an excellent dinner at the Lion Inn. The day passed over wi li the greatest unanimity and good feeling. It is remarkable tbat the ancestors of Mrs. Ormsby Gore have, without interruption, given this annual dinner since the reign of Henry IV. when levan ap Meredith, of Ystymtiegid, was constable of Crickieth. PEMBROKESHIRE ELECTION.— The two candi- dates for the representation of the County of Pem- broke— the Hon. R. F. Greville and Sir John Owfen — are again in ( he " battle field." Success is at present doubtful; and, from the strenuous exertions making hy both parties to meet the " tug of war," it is evident the conflict must be dreadful. The ban- ners ( blue and orange) being once more unfurled, partisans are flocking lo each with all the enthusiasm characteristic of Welsh Zealand British valour. Not in the recollection of man has that county been in such a state of excitement. Former elections, compar- ed to the one just past, nnd that iii embryo— judg- ing of the latter from the note of preparatiori sounding and echoing from town to town and from hundred to hundred— arc as the flash of the pan to sound of the cannon, or the murmur of the rivulet to the roar of the thunder!— Carmarthen Journal.

Welt Sur, think in as how the Old Mortal who rote it was rather " hard and sharp" as my Sheffild Daler says, upon the yung Parsin, aud as our Knight, who has sin ail the World over, says it was only a Fox's paw, and ralely and truly beleeving myself that it was only a Cats paw, I went to Chirbury to tell the ould Chap the rights on it; but Mrs. Siieade tould me as how our little Squire Downs had taen him up toart Kerry and Newtown to show hiin the Lyons, and that in a dai or two the Hounds wun to follow, some Foxes paws being tracyed in that nayborhood. I only wish I had knoue it aforehand, for the Squier's hounds bin divils for Varmints, and I could a prickt out a good mornins sport 011 the rode in drawiu a yung Badger as Brown as a Bear. But hov/ sumever, as the Squier is one that wunna hark back otice he's nmntcd, for he needs must go that the Divil drives, I rite to tell you that another ould Chap wearin a pare of blew spectikles as big as tea- cups came, like an ould Trojan, and bebattered tlie Ston out, and lie sed, says he,—" the same luck to the Bill with all my Hart,"— and he immediently then and there, on coming down, tost off to that toast a glass of ale, which that liarly ould cock, John Cleeton, had got I'or him; and 110 sooner was Ibis sed and dun then the Bells struck up a merry pale, and there was ritten oil the Steepel the following lines:— A Ston church— a wbodin Sieepel— A reformd Chancil— a cruckit Parsin— And a godly Peepel— which made menriy for to laugh, and so all was rite age 11.

At last Tuesday's market there was a good demand for Irish new Wheat, at a decline of 3d. per bushel 011 the quotations of the previous week. In old Wheat the transactions were light. For new Oats there was only a limited enquiry, and sales were made at ljd. per 451bs. cheaper: in old little done. Oatmeal was fully 2s. 6d. per 2401bs. lower. The demand for new Wheat has since continued, and the market is now very bare of this grain. The sales effected have been at fully Tuesday's rates. New Oals have further declined Id. to l| d. per 4olbs. ; and old are also as much cheaper. Flour barely maintains its price. Barley for feeding is in fair request, but no dearer. For Malt there is a moderate inquiry at previous rates. New Oatmeal is further reduced Gd. per 240lbs.; present price, 27s. per 451bs. At the beginning of this week Butters were in demand at advanced prices, and a still further increase in price was looked lor. The fineness of the weather during the last two or three days has, however, given a turn to tlio market; and wc tbis day quote at a reduction of about Is. per cwt. on most qualities. This reduction has arisen, in a great degree, from the quantity of fresh Butter which has been offered for safe, and- whiclf, unless the importation from Ireland increase, can only be temporary. The demand at present is, of course, limited. The present prices are— Banbridge, 86s. to RRs. per cwt.; Newry, 85s. to 86s.; Colerain, 88s • Belfast, 90s.; Dnndalk, 86s.; Cork dry 3ds. 79s. to 80s- Ditto pickled 2ds. 85s. lo 88s.: Sligo, 89s. to 90s • Wexford 86s.; Waterford, 85s. to 86s.; C'arlow 86s' to 88s.: Limerick, 86s. to 87s.

Sir.,— A ' paragraph in your last Journal, copied from a Birmingham Paper, gave to the public an ex- position of the " East India Humbug," as tbe writer nf tbat paragraph very correctly terms it. We have, however, " Humbugs" nearer home; and, accordingly, the West India " Humbug" was performed very cleverly 011 Friday and Saturday night, in the County Hall, Shrewsbury, " by permis- sion of the Mayor: — 011 this occasion grave Matrons and their elder daughters sat for hours listening to calculations of Ihe per centage as to the increase and decrease of the black population, interspersed with many edifying remarks; one of which comprised an assertion that the proprietors nnd managers of the negro population of our West. India Colonies have 110 otiier interest in that population than that of op- pressing them.— One Member of our Body Corporate — I mean our valued County Member, Mr. Cressett Pelham, was unfortunately not present, or, 1 am quite sure, he would have put an extinguisher on the itinerant lecturer.— I mention this circumstance, in the hope that the Authorities will not lend Ihe County Hall in future for such purposes.— Let the same funds out of which the Orator is paid to disseminate his statements, be made available to the provision of a place iu which he is to muster his auditory. An attempt is also making to re- enact in this county, the " Humbug" of Reform. A writer, whose initial is very correctly the letter " II"—(" Humbug," no doubt,) proposes that an Association shall be formed for the purpose of promoting the free return of fit Representatives to Parliament for this county. The Printer of tbat letter, too, is crying out for County and other Meetings on the subject of Reform : and tbat this is " Humbug" there is abundant proof, in the fact, tbat with all his bluster and endeavours to persuade other persons to support the cause of Reform, he, following the example of the Reform M. P. for Shrewsbury, contented himself, during the lale County Election, with talking at the Committee Room and about the hustings, instead of walking up to the Poll and recording his vote as a freeholder :— the " Humbug" of such conduct must be self- evident. 1 am, Sir, your's, & c.

' Ihe most eminent Members of the Faculty have done A. SHOOI.'- RiiEii the Honour to warmly recommend these Corsets as the best Remedy for Weakness and Defortiiily of the Spine occasioned by wearing the Corsets in genbral Use, which, froin constant Compression, alter tlife natiiral Position of the.

SALOP INFIRMARY. ,! h noticing Ihe proceedings uf the Anniversary lUcc/ insr in our last Journal, want of room pre- vented our calling the public attention to an Accident-! art, built upon the most approved prin- ciple, { such us are used in the Army), which Lord Ml' L, with his accustomed liberality, had presented to the Ins' it nt ion. It may be almost superfluous lo slate, that the sense of his Lordship's uniform kindness and attention lo the interests of this ex- cellent I liarity,' and to the County generally, were duly appreciated, and acknowledged by an unani- mous vote of thanks. A brief description of the Vehicle ma| be iut'er- estiuii to our readers. The cart ( drawn by one horse) is covered, and on springs. It is arranged so us " to carry from one to four persons silliiu* oil seats;— or one per- son in u bent posture." To accomplish thin, there is a Meanr formed of common bed- sacking, lliroii'ili the sides of which pass two light- poles. The sick- person is conveyed to the cart on this bearer, which is attached by hooks to a Strong cord passing through holes at the top of ( lie body of the cart. The cord is tightened by n simple mechanical contrivance, and thus the bearer is easily suspended with the patient pillowed on it, und protected from ihe shocks And roiighvesi of the worst roads. When thereure threeorfotir l'atienls able to sit, the bearer is removed, and two seats arc fixed on Ihe cords. Ours is a County Infirmary; and, as there is 110 Hospital in the Principality, il may be considered also that of North Wales. lu its list of Patients we find many from Whit- church, Ludlow, Shiffnal, lronbridge, and from Montgomeryshire. Ilut it is evident that, in order to diffuse nil its benefits, some such vehicle as the one describe, d should be stationed iri tliese remoter districts. Then, a sufferer with a fractured shat- tered limb, may be boine 20 miles smbpthly, as if he lay on a bed: so, in cases of tinctures Of the skull, dislocations, acute rheumatism, und other severe disorders. Another advantage must be obvious. In eases of Fallen( s discharged convalescent, relapses are fre- quently pi'oduced by their fatigue and exertions iu leaching home, which may lie averted by the use of such a conveyance. Persons loo attacked with acute internal disease may, iu this case, be more frequently succoured ; for it is impossible to con- vey, them iu a common cart or waggon to the Infirmary ; which t'Stis loses one of the most favour- able opportunities of arresting disease. As an in- stance, \<; e may state, lhat during the last three months, the Infirmary has treated but six Fever- Patienls, and all of them were of Shrewsbury, whilst many individuals have been swept away in the neighbouring villages. The Directors inform us, in tliinr Report, that the suggestion of staticfiing " these carnages at different puifhls in the Comity," caine from the able Committee for revising theStatutcs ; uud we believe the Infirmary would contribute handsomely to the execution of ihe project in any eligible districts. The Hand- Beam', slightly modified, should exist in every parish— nay, in every hamlet. Its expense, we learn, would nut exceed eight, or at most ten shillings. We may add, that its utility was so sinking, that several Gentlemen present at the meeting, expressed their determination of providing such nn apparatus iu thi: r own liduscs iTi ca6' o of accidents. These t'carers would be substituted for the hurdles and other crazy conveyances 011 which pour sufferers are martyred. . We are aware the establishment of such car- riages, and bearers, will augment the number of patients: hut our New Infirmary ia capable uf • accommodating from lot) to 1% 0. It inay be in gucd, that llie funds' 6f the Institution will be'insufficient lo meet such au increased ex- penditure. ' 1 his wc think improbable; for the subscriptions have constantly increased with the usefulness of Ihe Charity: anil, doubtless, the (• entry of the County and neighbourhood will be ever forward to assuage the sufferings of the Poor, espcc'ut Ily when ufflicted with disease, or stricken by the hand of Death. N II. The Cart nud Bearer lilay be inspected ul the Infirmary. nicndous gale, but moderated for a short time, when it suddenly became more violent, and was a perfect hurricane lit three o'clock. Now the work of destruc- tion commenced. From this hour until five it raged with unparalleled violence, whilst tile lightning would at Intervals cast a momentary but horrid glare 011 Ihe ma'ngled objefis around. The hollies were eiiher levelled with the earth or unroofed; the largest trees torn from their roots, or broken as reeds. Numerous individuals were buried under the ruins, or exposed without a shelter to the pelting of the sluriii, and threatened wilh instant death at each suc- cessive blast that hurled the shattered fragments i. i every direction. The majestic cocoa- nut tree would he tossed to and fro as a withe, then snapped of with an appalling crash, or driven from the earth wilh ter- rific force. The wind had now veered to E. back to N. and to N. W.; again it shifted, and blew fiercely froin I'.- veered to S. E. anil about six oiclock burst from S. W. with renewed violence, accompanied hy torrents of rain. Once more the hurricane raged, hut there was little standing to encounter its fury. For two hours the wind and rain continued thus; and it is easier to conceive than to describe the sufferings of those unfortunate beings who were all this time desti- tute of even the slightest shelter to screen them from the contending elements. The bodily and mental tor- lure of those who were in health must have been ex- cruciating ; but what must that have been of delicate females who had been lingering on a bed of sickness — and many of these there were— some in the open fields, separated from their relatives and friends, and in a state of nudity. Helpless infants, too, were in like manner torn from the arms of their distracted pa rents. '' When the light of day dawned through the dreadful gloom of the subsiding tempest, Ihe devastation of the country exhibited a heart- rending picture. The dreadful howling of the winds, and Ihe crashing of the fulling ruins having ceased, the shrieks of the affrighted, and the eroans of the wounded und dying, broke in mournful sounds and pitiable accents 011 the ears of the less unfortunate survivors. Those who had sufficient strength remaining, commenced a sorrowful search for Ihe respective members of their families, some of whose lifeless bodies were disinterred from the ruins to be transferred to another grave, whilst mangled forms of others were dragged forth, frightful from their bruises, and making tho hearts of their sympathising relatives bleed with anguish. The fields which the day before presented so luxuriant an appearance were completely changed into a desert— neither canes, corn, nor provisions, with a few inconsiderable exceptions, having been left in the ground. The houses as well as wind- mills were thrown down, parts of them conveyed to au astonishing distance, and custly furniture de- stroyed or materially injured. Oistins', Hole- town, Speight's lowii, and Bridgetown, have all suffered equally, there not being: a single house in the island standing uninjured. A few certainly afe only partially damaged, but many which at first sight appear to have escaped, are found,' on closer examination,' to be in a condition that would be imminently dangerous either iu heavy rains or strong winds. The barracks and hospital at St. Ann's have suffered in common with other build ings; and, we understand, more than forty of his Majesty's troops lost their lives, besides many women mid children; the number of wounded is immense " On a future occasion wc may give a detailed account of the numerous deaths that have occurred,' and of the almost innumerable dangerous wounds inflicted ; but as we cannot do so at present with any degree of accuracy,' we abstain from inserting those that have come to our knowledge. The scenes of horror in the churches baffle all descrip- tion. There the dead and dying have been borue from different placcs— there the bruised have been taken for surgical assistance. The bodies of all the killed, however, have not yet been recovered from the heaps of stone under which they were crushed ; and as putrefaction has already taken place, wo are threatened with the additional calamities of a deadly pestilence. God, in his infinite goodness, avert further horrors from our devoted isle 1 Threatened, ns wc are, with famine and disease, we can only ie1y on his bountiful providence to outstretch bis heavenly arm for our timely rescue. Without a plentiful supply of articles of food, the inhabitants will perish with prictor of the Barbadoes Mercury had been drowtied- In the, plantations all the negro huts, the mills, and store- houses were swept away. The crops, as well as all tlie provisions stored, had been utterly destroyed. Many of the first families of the island were with- out shelter, ami it was feared the stefich arising from the dead would breed jx Contagion. All the vessels driven on shore, with tlie exception of the two ntail boats and a schooner, had become total wrecks. Such are the latest particulars of this appalling visitation. Barbadoes was one scene of desolation and wreck, and nothing was heard but the waitings of the living over the mutilated corses of the dead. FRANCE. The late troubles in Paris have led fo a discovery of vast importance lo France, and which is calcu- lated lo excite great uneasiness aud apprehension. That discovery is Ihe following— that the National Guards of Paris cannot be relied upon for the maintenance of tranquillity in all times and , Under all circumstances. The National, Guards, although called out, during the recent disturbances, from seven o'clock iu the morning until a Inter hour in Ihe evening, either refused to obey the call alto- gether, or so few attended as to* render their presence comparatively useless. These civic heroes forgot that they were bound by their oath to main- tain order, obey the King and the laws, and fight, if necessary, for the throne as well as lor the charter; and when called upon to march against the tumultuous assemblies which recently threatened even a revolution, they ventured to reason upon the conduct ofthe government in lhe affairs of Poland, and hesitated as to whether they should tend tlie'r support lo the constituted authorities. We have from' the first viewed this National Guard system with some suspicion, and have always doubted whether, in a country like France, and especially in the present divided state of the nation, a civic military force could be established upon which the fullest reliance could be placed, aud which could be resorted to nt all times to put down all dis- turbances. Already we, find that our doubts were well founded, and that tho National Guards, of Paris ut least, can only be depended on so long as they are called to maintain a system of policy uyid an order of affairs approved by the majority. We know that tho French government begins to feel the importance of this revelation ; and the review of Guards, which was lo have taken place last Sunday, hus been adjourned to a future day, lest, by the presence of but a small . number at that review, owing to the dissatisfaction . felt on the subject of Poland, nn impression should be created at home and abroad injurious to the present state of affairs iu France. The Municipal Guards, who arc dependent 011 the orders of the Prefect, have, therefore, since the last emeute, been treated with much move nttcntion by the government tbiiii at any former period since the revolution; and the troops of the line are, we understand, encouraged to display more zeal iu the service, by the promise that iu future more confidence will be reposed in them, and less attention be paid to the national. Guards. A strong feeling of jealousy has existed ever since the month of September, 1830, ou the part of the regular troops against these civic heroes, and perhaps the best way of ensuring to the French government the support of the army will be by making them feel that Paris is not henceforth to be dependent for its tranquillity on the floating opinions and politics of the National Guards. DREADFUL HURRICANE AT BARBADOES. The following intelligence has been communicated, exclusively, by Mr. John Bennett, juri. iii a letter to his father, the Secretary of Lloyd's:— " Antigua, Aug. 20,2 p. m " Just ns the Lady Turner was preparing to get under weigh, the Duke of York armed vessel arrived from Barbadoes wilh despatches, bringing the distress- ing account of one of the most devastating hurricanes that had ever heen experienced in the West Indies having vi/, tcd that island 011 the lltli inst. Not a hou- e uninjured, and Ihe most part levelled with the ground. Tho loss of lives is calculated at 3000, which, it is lo he Imped, may be exaggerated. The custom- house is blown down, arid the churches and hospital materially damaged. About 50 of his Majesty': hoops were killed. The Governor of Barhadocs has written to the neighbouring islands for lumber and provisions. Y011 may form some idea of the miser able condition of the inhabitants when they are in want of the latter, of which, generally, they have a super abundance. From Ihe shortness of time allowed me to write, you must Consider this letter for the inform- ation of the subscribers to Lloyd's. " The following vessels were driven on shore, and remained when the Duke, of York left:— " Barks— Irlam and Arethusa. " Brigs— Exchange, Quebec, Decagon, Mary, Ke i. ia, Alliance, Antoinette, Horatio Nelson, Eliza. " Brigantinc— Samuel Hinds. '' Schooners— Ark ajl l Perseverance. " Mail- boats— Montagu and Barhadoea. " The Heroine escaped with only loss of rigging Ihe schooner James lost masts. <' It is said, that St. Vincent's has suffered equally with Barbadoes. " On the 11th, the weather here wore every ap pearance of a hurricane, and it was generally remark id im that day, that if we escaped, some other island must have suffered. " The Duke of York has proceeded to St. Kitts.' The following is from the Barbadoes Globe of the 15lh of August : — " Through the merciful forbearance of an all powerful Deity, we tire enabled to resume tlie publ cation of onr paper by issuing a half sheet to- day That we printed none on Thursday, is owing to the av, fnl calamity which, on the morning of that day laid Ihe whole country in a coufuscd mass of ruins Our life having been spared, and our oilice lint parti ally damaged, the duty of telling the tale of aflliclion, however harrowing to our feelings, must be perform- ed ; but to convey to the distant reader a correct ide of Ihe scene of devastation before 11s is a task impos- sible lo be accomplished. Wherever we turn onr eye, the desolation ami misery presented to the view bid defiance to the power of language to portray them in adequate terms. Barhadoes was never in such a con- dition since the year 1783. The hurricane of that time might have exceeded in duration, but not in violence, the one of Thursday last: the damage suf- fered is perhaps equal in extent— the number of lives lust is at present incalculable. " The appearance of Wednesday evening was indi- cative of unsettled weather, and many persons prog- nosticated that there would be a gale before morning: hut few anticipated a visitation so dreadful. The wind was at times rather high, and about ten o'clock there was a shower of rain, which was succeeded by a calm. After this a dense mass of clouds gathered over Ihe horizon, and remained for some time sus- pended in gloom. Al twelve, they burst into a severe hunger,— without the Divine interposition, their ire fate must be consummated by contagion from he effluvia arising from the putrid carcasses of men and beasts which lie 011 the face of the cdfth I " The churches atid chapels throughout the island have suffered each to a greater or less extent, rhe sacred cdilice in St. James's was injured less than any other. The Cathedral and St. Mary's were deprived of tho greater part of their roofs, the organ of the latter was blown to atoms; St. Paul's and St. Matthew's were nearly totally destroyed. Government- house was uiiroofed and otherwise injured, and his Excellency the Governor obliged to take refuge in the cellar. King's- house, the girls' school, and the conimoq gaol, were seriously damaged ; tho boys' school was partially " ijured, and the Custom- house was blown down. But to particularize wonld be a preposterous at- tempt, when every house, and all parts of the island have, in some respect or other, shared in the general destruction. " The following vessels were driven on shore, where they still remain :— Barks— lrlam, and Arethusa ; brigs— Exchange, Quebec, Decagon, Mary, Kezia, Alliance, Antoinette, Horatio Nelson, and Eliza; brlgautirle— Siiiiiucl IHnds; schooners - Ark, and Perseverance ; mail- boats— Barbadoes, and Montague. " The brigantinc Heroine was in the Careenage, where she remained in comparative safety, having suffered only iu her rigging. The schooner James was likewise in Ihe Careenage, and sustained tittle damage, except the loss of masts. l'he schooner Elizabeth sailed hence for Demerara 011 Wednesday afternoon. She for- tunately weathered Ihe storm/ and returned here, when she was employed by bis excellency the governor to procecd, we understand, to that colony with despatches, in the hope of falling in with a homeward bound vessel; but failing in that, they would beimnSMiatcly forwarded to F. nglnud by his excellency Sir Benjamin D'Urban, Governor General of British Guiana. " The schooner Agnes, which arrived 011 Friday morning from Trinidad, has also been employed iu the service of government. She sailed last night, but her destination is not exactly known. " The merchants of this town, although suirerer* themselves to a considerable extent, have spurned the opportunity of demanding an increase in the price of provisions. Care should he taken to prevent any un- feeling huckster from profiting unfairly hy this liber- ality. " His excellency the governor called a mreting of Ihe hon. board uf council for to- day. Wc have not been informed of the result of their deli he rat ions. " lt will be seen that H. 1). de Wald, Esq. lias gene- rously come forward for the assistance of the poor and destitute,, wilh a spmitaheous offer of ten barrels of flour; and as the vestry have made an appeal to the public, we trust there are many others who will lose 110 time in contributing to the relief of their wretched fellow- beings." The Barbadoes Murcury of Ihe I6II1 says,—" We are sorry to state that the island of St. Vincent has not escaped the late hurricane. An arrival from tlierrCe announces that considerable injury lias been done both to the island and shipping. " A letter received from Dominica last night, in- forms 11s that the effect of the late gale was felt iu that island, hot no lives tost, nor any very serious in- jury Sustained. The town of Rousseau was, however, almost inundated by the breaking in of the sea. " The schooner Perseverance returned from Guada- loupe this morning. The gale was felt in that island alto, and some trilling damage done." ( FURTHER PARTICULARS). We have by way of Antigua some additional accounts of the dreadful and devasting hurricane at Barhadoes 011 the lltli ult. Although the dates from Barbadoes were six days subsequent to the catas- trophe, the number of lives lost had not been ascer- tained. lt was sup| rosed that about fifty of the military had perished, and that 10( 1 had been wounded. Deputy Assistant Commissary planner, with his family, consisting of his wife, four children, a niece, and two servants, had been buried beneath the ruins of their dwelling, and only Mrs. planner anil two children rescued alive. Nut a single house in Bridgetown remained uninjured. The joint pro- We percoivo, from the Moniteur of Tuesday last, that l. ouis Philip, ihe Queen, and the Royal family, will, in a short time, leave their citizen chateau, in the Rue Si'. Ilonore, and occupy the royal apart- ments in the Palace of the Tuileries. This circum- stance, though apparently unimportant, is an event in the history of the new dynasty which shows the strength of Ihe Casimir Perier party at the Palais Royal, and the defeat of the more violent faction. For mimy months past' ' the Queen has objected lo this removal, and Madame Adelaide, who is known to be most niggardly in her habits and expenditure, has encouraged her Majesty in those objections. The liberal party has constantly urged on the latter the duty of making a wide distinction between the - civil list and cxpcnces of a citizen King and those of the old dynasty. This counsel has hitherto prevailed, and the Queen has stated her objections to leaving the Palais Royal in the most decided terms. M. Casiinir Perier, 011 the other hand, has been almost reproached by all the diplomatic circle for not having made it a point of importance; and the tradesmen and manufacturers, who complain that the King is without a court, have pressed upon the President of the Council the necessity which there existed for giving to the new royalty an air of respectability aud permanence. Our readers urc well aware that the chateau of the Palais Royal is ihe private residence and property of Louis Philip as Duke of Orleans, is within 30 yards of one ot the most noisy streets iii Paris, and is nearly surrounded by bonnet aiid book shops. The palace of the ' fuilcries, on the other hand, is the ancient palace of the Ring's of France, and wilh ils history is associated all that is most interesting and imposing. The present Queen, who is timid as -. veil as prudent, has had a sort of superstitious apprehension of quitting her present retired resi- dence ; and although it is most inconveniently situate for a court and a King, yet she prefers its low roof and mean appearance to dwelling in the palacc ofthe Henrys and tlie Louis of Trance. At, iengfh, however, M. Casimir Pericr has required Hint the removal should be no longer delayed, and although for fifteen years he wus one of the most zealous partisans of the most rigid economy, yet now he has undertaken tn support the demand for a large civil list, upon condition lhat the Tuilpries be occupied by the royal family, and a court maintained as in former times. As the discussion On the peer- age question will soon commence and terminate, and as the passing of the law will be followed by the creation ofa great number of peers for life, his Majesty may from lhat time also expcct to be surrounded hy at least a life nobility, and his court be 110 longer composed ofa few foreign ambassadors, und the officers aud soldiers of the National Guards. Still the old noble families of France, and the rich royalist proprietors, will hold aloof, and the new peerage will he constituted of Napoleon ists, military men, and old deputies, who imitate Prince Talley- rand, and lake Iheir fifteenth oath of allegiance. of apparent misgiving of terrestrial stability, and jumped upon the beach. We were all on shore in an instant, scampering up the hill to the ftag- staifj through a dense oppres- sive vapour of carburetled hydrogen gas. The ting- staff is on the highest point of the island, bearing Ihe name of Lieutenant Coleman, of II. I\ l. culler llind; and from it we had a bird's- eye view ofthe wonderful scene. In the centre of the island, to the eastward of us, was a circular basin of about 90 feet in diameter, of boiling salt water, of a dingy red colour, from the peroxide of iron in solution. The aclivc ebullition from the cenlrej and emission of steam from the whole surface, were evident to every one. From the summit where we stood, this basin appeared like a funnel a quarter full, the bank shelving down in the same imaginary proportion. The vapour here was oppressive to most of us, affecting ihe digestive more than ilie respiratory organs, producing nausea, and faintness, without aiiy sense or feeling of suffocation. The pulse was not atfeclcd in the least; mine was 8fi, accelerated by the exertion of quickly ascending the hill, breathing a highly rarified atmosphere, not a little augmented by the internal caloric, emitted copiously iu vapour frorft the earth, us well us the heat of a scorching sirocco sun, which was extremely fervent this day. On the S. W. side of the island, adjoining the principal crater was a terrific ebullition and agitation of the sea ; evidently the commencement of a new crater, with constant ascension of dense white steam impregnated with the carburetted hydrogen gas, which blackened the silver and watches in the pockcts of the. observers. That this va;> our was not impregnated with sulphur, I infer, first, from the absence of that peculiar fetor., and its not affecting the lungs; secondly, from the colour of the water in the crater, which, by coming in contact with sulphuretted hydrogen gas, would have been changed to a prot- oxide, and been black in place of red. Tins last chemical test 1 consider conclusive ou this point; but it has been the custom to speak of sulphurous smoke; which, by the by, may have been ejected iii actual combustion, during the violence of previous erup- tions, but certainly not now, in form of gas. On our descent, passing the margin of the crater, where it was not more than 20 feet to the boiling surface, 1 threw off my jacket, and jumped down, to the astonishment of all present, anxious alike to procure something from the cauldron, and try the temperature of the water. I plunged my hand into the margin, but quickly withdrew it, finding it about 190 of Faren\ ieit; the reduction of 22 degrees being easily explained 011 reflecting on the extended surface becoming. exposed to the atmosphere in a basin, as before mentioned, of 270 feet in circumference. , The water was . exceedingly salt, owing to the continued evaporation, since the direct communica- tion with the sea has been closed ( probably by the last eruption), and appears. something lower than the sea, leaving every mark of decrease 011 the coloured masses of scoria around the margin. The island is about a mile in circumfercnce, nearly round, or, perhaps^ an imperfect spheroid, indented at the ends, where. the great, crater was, at different periods, connected with the sea. lt is ubout i50, or lCb feet high. The substance of which the island is composed is chiefly ashes, the pulverized remains of coal de- prived of its bitumen, iron scoria, and a kind of ferruginous clay, or oxided earth. The scoria occurs in irregular masses; some compact, dense, and sonorous, others light," friable, afjd amorphous with metallic lustre, slightly magnetic, barely moving the loadstone. I only procured one native stone, tt Jiicce of lime- stone, about two pounds weight, thrown up with the incumbent earth, having no marks of com- bustion. There was no trace whatever of lava, no terra puzzolana, no pumice- stone, 110 shells or other marine remains, usually found at jEtna and Vesuvius. Around the island, where Neptune makes his advances, the sides fall down in abrupt precipices; and we could discern every strata ejected by each separate eruption; the water, evaporating, left an incrustation of salt, which now appears 11 white, firm layer, plainly marking the regular progress and formation of the island. The surface of the island is likewise covered with a similar incrustation, in sonic places so thick as to be visibly white some distance at sea. From the nature of this island, there being no bond of coherence in ils heterogeneous particles, and, from the precipitous falling down of its sides by the action of the sea, I mil inclined to think that there is not llie stability of permanence in its com position. The insatiable ocean will encroach upon ils base; the winds of heaven will scatter the dusty surface to the four cardinal points of the compass; the rain will dissolve llie saline bond of union, and the crumbling ruin will gradually sink, nnd extend its base, to a bank barely above the level of the sea. Its loss will not be deplored ; for the scream ing sea- bird, instinctively wheels and directs hi flight to a distant part of the ocean, to avoid the dark and desolate spot; and even Ihe inhabitants of the deep seem to avoid the unhallowed shore. A. OSBORN, Surgeon to H. M. S. Ganges 20/ A August, 1831. A letter from Naples, dated August 28, says that the day after a British captain bad taken possession of the new volcanic island in the Mediterranean in the name of his Sovereign, and planted the British standard upon it, the Inhabitants of Sciacca, a town lying nearest to the volcano took down the flag, and claimed the sovereignty for Sicily. There will, no doubt, in time be formed au archipelago, for there are already three distinct islands. The Lieutenant- Gencral of Sicily has signified his approbation of the patriotism uf the citizens of Sciacca.— French I'apcr. BRAZIL.— The Lord Melville arrived from Brazil on Sunday evening, and brings accounts frortl Rio dc Janeiro to the 25th of July. It appears that for some time past a spirit of discontent had been manifested by part of the troops and the lower classes at that place, which at length led to tumults and bloodshed. It seems that the civic guard, established for the preservation of order, had become very obnoxious to the lower classes, chiefly consisting of mulattoes and blacks, and to the soldiery, who are mostly coloured persons, and the old police. The depredations of these ruffians on tlie property of the citizens, the civic guards restrained. At length the syrtiptoms of an insurrectionary movement became so strong, that 011 the 13th of July, the government thought it best, to request the civic guard to give up the duty of the city to the soldiery and police, who celebrated their triumph by repeated discharges of musketry, killing several persons. In consequence, the shops were shut, whilst the ruffians paraded the streets, crying, " Down with the Regency 1" " Death to the whites!" Their chief enmity is directed against the Portuguese, whose expulsion from Brazil they demand. All Ihe boats belonging 10 the English and the French ships at Rio were held in readiness to land the crews, for the defence of the city ; these amount to nearly 900 men, and were sufficient to drive the ruffians before thejn. Up to the sailing of the packet things con- tinued in a most unsettled state; robberies and murders Were of frequent occurrence. The police had been forced to leave the city by the civic guard, and were stationed in one of the forts; three regi- ments had been disbanded, and the guards arc mount- ed by officers.. On the 23d of July the government ordered the formation of a national guard, and it Was hoped that order would be restore^. ANECDOTE OF THETF. MPLE CLOCK.— Some years ago a new clock was made, to be placed in the ' emple- hall; when finished, the clock maker was desired to wait on the Benchers of the Temple, who would think of a suitable motto to be put under the clock. He applied several times, but without getting the desired information, as they had not determined on the inscription. Continuing to importune them, he at last, came when the old Benfchprs were met at the Temple- half, and had just sat down to dinner, fh^ workman again requested to lie informed of the motto, when one of the Benchers, who ( bought the ppIiCation ill- timed, and who was fonder of eating and drinking than inventing original mottos, tartly replied, " Go about your business." The mechanic taking ( his as an answer to his question, went home and inserted at the hottoni of the clock, " Go about your business," and placed it on the Temple. hall, to the great surprise of the Benchers,, who, upon con- sidering the circumstance, agreed that accident had produced a better motto than any they could think of; and ever since the Temple clock has continued to remind the lawyers and the public to go about their business. CONSUMI> TIO! » OF SILK.— The quantity of this material used in England alone amounts in eacli year to more than four millions of pounds weight, for the production of which myriads upon myriads of insects are required. Fourteen thousand millions of animated creatures annually live and die to supply this little comer of the world with an article of luxury! If astonishment be excited at this fact, let us extend our views into China, and survey the dense population of its widely spread region, whose inhabitants, from the emperor 011 the throne to the peasant in the lowly hut, are indebted for their clothing to ttiu labours of the silk worm. The imagination, fatigued with the flight, is lost and bewildered in contemplating the countless numbers which every successive year spin their slen der threads for the service of man.— Vs.

On the 191 h of August we got sight of Graham's Island, in the afternoon. It is about twenty- seven miles from Sci. wca, on the coast of Sicily ; latitude 37 ( leg. 11 N. Ion. 22 deg. 41 E. It appeared two hummocks, united by a lower neck of land ; and, from the southern extremity, emitted a column of smoke or " vapour of uncertain density and magni- tude. On the # 0th, after diligently working to windward all night, wc approached the island considerably, and the breeze, springing up favours able from S. E. we were enabled lo heave to. within one mile distance, at TO o'clock, a. 111. On our approach to the island we observed immense shoals of porpoises, and multitudes of sCa- lowls, chiefly gulls, attracted, no doubt, by Ihe fish which may have been destroyed by the late volcanic eruptions. It was very remarkable what a regular distance these voraciotis tribes keep froin the laud, about four or five miles, not one being observed near the shore on onr visit to the volcano. The island appeared about 100 feet high, pre senting a vurious aspect, as the bearing by compass altered, but, in general, that of two longitudinal hills connected by intermediate low land, sendin up smoke or vapour hr abundance. On the western, and highest part, we observed the union flag of England waving majestically over this new . and appalling scene of danger aud desolation. At 10 a. in. the boats were lowered down and manned ; and, in pursuance of previously concerted arrangements with the Commander- in- chief, all officers, impelled by curiosity or science, desirous of witnessing the phenomenon, took their places iu them accordingly. We pushed off from the ship, made sail, nnd landed iu a little bay on the N. E. s: dc of this sombre, lonely isle. A boat from the St. Vincent preceded 11s a few yards, and the bowman, an officer, prepared to be first ashore, touched the ground with the boat- hook, laid his weight upon it pushed ii down the second lime firmly, with a kind THE I. IFE GUARDS.— A writer in the Times has some remarks on the deterioration of our breed of horses. He proceeds—" If something be not done ef- fectually ; if our finest mares be exported without the least restraint, the bottom, weight, and strength of continental cavalry will exceed ours. What a strange people we are! At Waterloo we beat the French Cuirassiers solely hy the superiority in weight, size, bottom, and muscular power of both man and horse, and, though the French had cuirasses, the guards, and heavy cavalry had none. Directly after they came home, and ever since, the men selected have been of diminished stature, spare, and thin, and horses light and bad; and now actually the 1st and 2d Life Guards are scarcely heavier than a hussar regiment, and cuirasses were added, though we beat the French without them. Your readers would scarcely believe the difference of an old Waterloo Life Guardsman, in power of arm and stature, unless lie should meet one walking with a soldier of the present regiment. Thus w c have been gradually getting rid of the very causes which contributed to our success ; while the French, with their usual quickness and sagacity, have, ever since Waterloo, heen doubling the weight, size, and I ixp- The following statement appears in a Ministerial Paper of Wednesday :— " A Meeting, convened by circulars issued by Lord Ebrington, Mr. Littleton, Mr. Lawley, and others, and addressed to a great number of those members Who had supported the Reform Bill through all its stages, was held this day at the house of Earl Fortescue, Lord Ebrington's father... The purpose of the meeting was to consider what measures should be resorted to in the event of the defeat of the bill in the House of Lords. Several suggestion's- were made. It was proposed to enter into a resolution, and found ail address thereon, to be preserved to Earl Grey, RS head of the adminis- tration, expressive of full confidence in the Ministry, and of a desire that, under no circumstances, however adverse, should they resign or retire from office. It was also suggested that it would be. desirable to recom- mend that, in the event of that result occurring m the Lords— the rejection of the bill— that Parliament may be prorogued for a short time— say, three or four weeks, and that on its re- asseinbling, the bill should be again brought in, passed with all . possible celerity, and sent to the Upper House; but that during the prorogation those means should bo resorted to for insuring its suc- cess, which the circninstanc. es of the case would justify. Neither of these suggestions however, \ yas acted on, and it was finally determined to wait until the hill should be before ihe Lords, and its reception and pro- gress in the first stages ascertained, before any further step, should be taken. It was slated at the meeting that it. was understood the counfe which the Opposition Peers would take was to allow the bill to be read a first and second time without any division, and to rsserve all their hostility for the Committee, when they hoped so completely to alter the details as to upset the principle. Lord Milton spoke with great energy, and said he was prepared, should that which he feared, more than he believed would take place, to recommend measures which he Would , not be deterred from doing, even though they might be characterised as revolutionary by some' persons, and he only abstained from stating what they were in the hope that the occasion would not arise which would compel him to do so." The peroration of niv Lord Milton, il, no doubt, intended to be very striking;— but we presume it can only be so from its absurdity. Salop Fire- Office. THE PROPRIETORS of the SALOP FIRF.

JEWELS OF THE PRINCESS OF ORANGE.— Mon day evening, two natives of France, a man and a woman, arrived at this port iti the Monongahcla, Capt. Dixev, from America. Yesterday morning, in consequence of some information which he had re- ceived, the vigilant superintendent of our police, Mr Parlour, apprehended them at the Prince's Dock and succeeded in recovering property which they had brought with them to the amount of £ 20,000, being part of Ihe jewels stolen from the palacc at Brussel about two years ago. At the time the robbery was committed, the thieves made their escape by way of Havre to America, and 110 trace of the property was discovered until July last, when the collector of New York seized upwards of £ 21,000 worth, in the posses sion of a man who was stated to be an Italian, of the name of Carrara. He succecded, however, in elud. ing the search of ( he police, and iu all probability is 011c of the respectable individuals who have now paid us a visit. The original value of the jewels was about £ 212,000. We understand the parties w ill shortly be sent lo Brussels.— Lii'crpoc. 1 Courier. Extract of a letter from Brussels :— « A very singular circumstance has been given me as a fact. The King ( Leopold) received last week several horses from England ; and one of the grooms on Saturday last took them to be shod. O11 his return to the stables the Marquis rle Chastelcr ( Master of the Horse) was there, and asked the groom what he had been doing with the horses? lie answered that he had taken them to be shod. ' Where ?' said the Marquis. —' The English farrier,' replied the groom. The Marquis became outrageous. ' Go,' said the sapient Marquis,' go instantly, and have the shoes taken off, and take the horses ton Belgian farrier, and let him shoe them;' and away strutted the Marquis ( though not quite so quick as he did from Waterloo). The horses were re shod by a Belgian.— Morning Herald.
