In the year 1797, I cnuglil a most violent cold which affected my Hretist and Lungs so much, that 1 could scarcely speuk to he understood, and remained so for the space of two mouths ; at snitie time accom- panied with a great discharge front my lungs, which continued with unabated force until the year 1809 — When, after having recourse to almost every nilvice and to no purpose, being in conversation wilh n gentleman of ibe facility, I told him I thought there was no perfect cure for tin Asthma, tu whicli he assented, hy replying that he had one himself, and his only relief was hy taking frequently some medicines to keep his lungs open. Aliont this lime a neighbour came to see me, who said he hail heen equally as hail as I was then, aud he first told me of CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, being the medicine that made him as he was then iu health, mill persuaded me to make trial of a small Buttle.— I sent for oue 10 Shrewsbury, to Mr. Wood's, the Printer, nt which lime I hail tin incessant cough with little or 110 intermission, inso- much, thut 1 thought my lungs would be rent from my breast. In the inoriiingat breakfast, I took two teaspooiifuls of the Drops in the last cup of tea ; and no more wonderful llitin true, I did nut cough for the space of ten minutes after, which would have taken place twenty or thirty linns before that time.— In short, il and a few bullies more perfectly cured me then, and 1 have never been without it iu mv house for several years afler, lo use it upon any occasion after catching cold.

JOHNSON'S AMERTCAN SOOTHING SYRUP.-- Thisinfallible Remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery from Convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums the Child will be re. lieved. It is as innocent as efficacious ; and so pleasant, that no Child will refuse to let its gums he rubbed wilh it. When infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums; and Parents should never be without the Syrup iu the nursery where there are young Children ; lot if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, See.— The great success of this Medicine during the last Twenty- five Years has in- duced unprincipled persons to imitate it under the name of American Soothing Svrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &, c.

November 24th, 1S3L It is surprising with what accelerated motion anil with what close alliance the present Ministers of this great nation are adopting the system, or, to Use the modern phraseology, are marching forward ih the steps of the revolutionary government of France. During the parliamentary recess, it is well known, that Sir H. Parnell, accompanied by Dr. feowring and followed by Mr. Hume and others of the political economy school, have been upon a visit to Paris with a view to make themselves acquainted with the mode which that Government has adopted for keeping its national accounts. This it appears was not the only business transacted there. Tlie letter from a British Senator to General Lamarque, published in a former Journal, is generally attributed to Ihe latter of these Gentlemen, and exposes, in a minor degree, it is true, the communion of opinions, and the interchange of sentiments that are progressing between the two countries. — But to revert to the proposed object of Sir Henry Parnell's visit, and the project about to be introduced by our Cabinet, relative to the collection and payment into the Exchequer of the fifty millions of taxes raised in this country. We allude to the Report of a Committee of Ihe House of Commons, in which are to be found THREE Members of the Cabinet recommending that in future the revenue of the country shall be paid in the gross into the Ex- chequer, after the plan adopted in France, instead of the various departments, as hitherto, paying only the net balance, afler all the necessary expenditure of collection has been deducted! What will be the effect of this apparently very simple change? It will be this. Every salary, of every officer, in every department of the State, will come every year under the review of the House of Commons. The Crown, the due weight and influence of which has been recently fast sinking under the giant growth of the popular power, will no longer have the power, through the Executive, of fixing and distributing the salaries of the vast number of officers employed in the collection of the revenues of the. State. This privilege, which tinder the English Constitution the Executive has ever enjoyed, and which, at the present era above all others, appears absolutely necessary for its continued existence with the semblance of power, is now, under the sanction of otir liberal Cabinet, proposed to be taken from it. In addition to their other duties, Joseph Hume, Daniel O'Connell, D. W. Harvey, John Wilks, and other such liberal Members of the House of Com- mons, will be the regulators of the salaries of the servants of the Crown, employed even in the collec. tion of the revenues; and tbey will look for their support and preferment not to the Crown, but to the various leading Members of a popular Assembly. The powers of the House of Commons will thus be further enlarged, and the powers of the Crown fur- ther diminished : the various subordinate officers will not look to the Executive, but to the Legislative, for protection antl advancement; while a contuma- cious House cf Commons, or even an infuriated mill, ority, making use of a happy occasion, may by a single vote, throw the whole of them out of their bread, and the State into utter confusion nnd em barrassment. The government of France, changing from year to year, may adopt tlii* or that mode of collecting its revenue in its rapid progress towards a democracy ; but that the statesmen of England, pro- fessing the utmost veneration for her Venerable Con- stitution, should gravely propound an alteration of this order, and recommend it for its convenience and simplicity ( though we believe it would neither be more convenient nor more simple), while they seem dead to the vast change it would intro- duce into the relative powers of the Constitution, is to us passing strange. Such men must either be very simple men, and hence unlit to be at the head of such a State as England ( and this we believe to be the truth), or they must be wretchedly dishonest men ; aud while they profess to have it for their object to preserve the Constitution of England in its pristine beauty and vigour, have it secretly in view to change its Constitution altogether, and to hasten forward the days of a pure and happy re- public. All this is objectionable enough. But there is ano- ther parallel project on foot to coerce us, wc should conceive, into the adoption of these French systs ns and examples. One of the avowed organs of Govern, ment, so recently as Thursday last, thus modestly iutroduced the armed force, the NATIONAL GUARD, that it is in contemplation to organize, and thereby support the Revolution which is gradually and fear- fully commencing.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1831. FRANCE. The intelligence from Paris is to the date of Wed. nesdav, and up to that day the French Government had not received anv further intelligence from Lyons. The private letters and other notices on the subject, I , l( lJ>' ls unexplained, and at present appears to he which the papers of Wednesday contain, are hut con- inexplicable, Unless his Royal Highness is waiting for t mporaneous statements of the same events. From these the actual condition of the place up to the night ofthe 27th, would appear to he as follows: — The Workmen were still undisputed masters, but had delegated a sort of limited power to the Mayor and Prefect to enforce the laws for the preservation of property, and the repression of mere predatory disorder. Business and commercial intercourse hail resumed in some degree their former habits; and some of fhe insurgents hail even returned to the n- looms at Ihe advanced tariff of wages. The more determined were still manning the posts which had proved so advantageous to them in the late san- guinary struggle, but suffering under a severity of hunger which the more respectable inhabitants and the authorities were wisely endeavouring to appease by money- grants and subscriptions, lest in their despair the insurgents should attempt a general sack of Ihe place. One account estimates the snm which has heen thus thrown as a sop to the necessities ofthe workmen at 100,000 francs; another at 150,000 francs. Not a single soldier of the King's troops, his son, Ihe Duke of Orleans, nor the Minister of War, had yet entered Ihe city, hot General Rougnet had surrounded it with a cordon of troops, and which it was calculated by this lime amounted to 30,000 men. Sou It and the Duke have been telegraphed asarrived at a place called Trevoux, ten miles from Lyons, where they were joined by General RougneL The latter had previously given audience to a deputation from the workmen, and made them verbal assurances, as well as a written promise, that he would not for the present attempt the rednction of the p'ace by force. It would appear also lhat another deputation had been subsequently received by the Duke of Orleans and Marshal Soult, who heard the proposals which it had to make, hut of the tenour of whose reply nothing was yet known. If Ihe representations received he correct, these propositions were of so exorbitant and unreasonable a nature, that itisdiflfr. cult to see how the Government can accede to them. The workmen demand not only the future observance ofthe tariff of wages, which was the original ground of quarrel, but that there bean oblivion of all that has passed, and that provision be made for the wounded, and the relatives of those who fell in the combat with the military and the National Guards. Matters seem to have been left in that state, by these accounts, that the next arrivals must bring some- thing decisive, as the King's troops must by Ihis time have entered the place either by force or negociation In Paris all remained quiet, and the Commander- in- Chief of the National Guard bad addressed an order of Ihe day to that body, complimenting it upon the steal which it had shewn generally with reference to these disorders, but more particularly to its offer of marching to Lyons, to assist in the maintenance of the public peace. It is certain that the disturbances have not extended beyond Lyons, and the supporters of the Ministry are in hope that they will rather strengthen than weaken their influence.— The French army of the North is not to be dissolved; half of it, 40,000 men, is to remain in its cantonments on the Belgic frontier ready to enter lhat kingdom at the first summons; the other returns to the interior of France.

The trial at the Old Bailey . on Friday terminated in the conviction of Bishop, William.*, and May,. the three men charged with the murder of the poor Italian boy, and they were ordered for execution on Monday morning. The learned Judge, Tindal, occu- pied nearly three hours in summing up the evidence, and the jury, after withdrawing for about half an hour, returned w. th a verdict of guilty against, all three. The Recorder immediately proceeded to pass sentence. Upon the culprits being removed from the dock, afler their condemnation, to the cells, May became very violent in his expressions towards Bishop, for bringing him into the dreadful dilemma for which his life was to pay the forfeit. On being placed in separ- ate cells, two officers employed at, the prison were placed to keep a watch upon their movements, lest either of them should attempt to lay violent hands upon himself. During the night Ihe miserable men slept soundly at intervals, and when awake appeared composed, and their minds seemed tranquillized. During the night Bishop and Williams expressed a wish to have an interview with the Rev. Theodore Williams, Vicar of Hendon, as they desired to make a communication with him respecting Ihe dreadful crime for which they had been doomed to suffer. The person iu attendance lost no time in acquainting Mr. Wontner with Ihe request, and that gentleman sent off immediately to Hendon for Ihe Rev. Gentle- man. On Saturday morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. W I aim arrived at the prison, and was introduced to tne culprits. To the above- named clergyman, Bishop anil Wil- liams admitted having murdered three unhappy beings, but both strongly denied that they effected their diabolical purpose in the manner that had been stated by the newspapers— that no pitch- plaister was used to deprive them of life. That they had com- mitted Ihree murders, and the clothes which were found in Bishop's garden were belonging to those whom Ihey had slain. The first unfortunate being that fell a viclim wa-, a boy, a native of a town in Lincolnshire, whom they fell in with, and after making him stupid from the effects of. drink, took him home, where they placed their hands on his mouth to stop him from calling out, after which they dragged him to a well uf wafer in the garden, aiiil held him heels upwards till he was dead — The next murder that they committed was upon the female Fr ances Pigbuin, whom they met al a public house in Bethnal- green, and at their solicitation she drank some liquor till she became rather intoxicated ! that they met her again by appointment on the following night, and they again plied her with drink, but she was not then ill a sufficient state of stupor for them toefftct their purpose. Another appointment took place the third night, and then they gave her so much liquor that they succeeded in perfecting their design. They effected her death by holding her breath nlso, and conveying her by force into the gar- den, pushed her head first, into the well, holding her tip by her heels till she ceased to exist. Her clothes they buried in the garden, where they were found by the police. With respect to the Italian hoy, they confessed having murdered him in a similar manner. The culprits, upon being asked whether or not the ir miserable companion May was at all concerned they both in very strong terms denied that he was at all implicated in the murder, hut that he assisted in conveying the body to the hospital for sale, and that he was quite innocent, with that exception; he had not ihe slightest knowledge tbatfhey had mur- dered the boy. May also protested his innocence, and that lie had said all along that Bishop could' exonerate him. With these disclosures the Rev. gentleman left the unhappy wretches, and proceeded to the private room, where Baron Vanghan and Justice Littledale . were in wailing, and to whom, and in the presence of the Sheriffs, Under- Sheriffs, and a few who were admitted into their presence, read the confession as he had it from the lips- of the miserable men. Upon Ihe admission of Bishop and Wilt turns as lo the innocence of May, a consultation was immediately held as to what steps should he taken with regard to the unhappy man. It was, after some time bid heen occupied in Ihe consultation, resolved that a com- munication should be forwarded instantly tu Lord Million rue, staling the facts of the confession. On Sunday night a respite during his Majesty's pleasure was received at Newgate fur May; and yes- terday morning. Bishop and Williams were executed at the Old Bailey, pursuant to their s - ntencc. The crowd of spectators to witness the execution was im- mense ; and the moment the drop fell, the mob gave several tremendous cheers.— So dense aud unruly\ ra » the crowd on this occasion, that several persons wi re knocked down and trampled upon, and otherwise seriously injured.

In another column of our Journal, we have ex- tracted from the Birmingham Gazette an account of the disturbances that have occurred in the mining district of Staffordshire during the past week ; and we regret, to add, that in consequence of a body of the workmen out of Staffordshire coming into the Shropshire district, a similar stoppage of the works arid turn- out of the workmen has taken place in the populous mining parts of this county, near Welling- ton aud Shiffnal.— In order to meet this unpleasant position of affairs, the South Shropshire Begiment of Yeomanry Cavalry received notice on Monday night to hold themselves in readiness to proceed for Wei. lington yesterday : accordingly the Ludlow, Sec. divi- sion assembled at Bridgnorth yesterday morning for that purpose; and one troop of the Shrewsbury division, under the command of Major Jenkins, pro- ceeded from hence before day- break yesterday morn- ing; another troop, commanded by Capt. LLoyd, of Leaton Knolls, followed iu the afternoon; and the remaining troops of the division aWait the orders of the Magistracy.— The North Shropshire Regiment of Yeomanry is also under orders to proceed into the dis- turbed districts, if wanted.— A body of pensioners, with the recruiting staff, were forwarded from this town to Wellington by coaches yesterday afternoon : and the Staff of the Shropshire Militia is now on duty in Shrewsbury, prepared to act as the emergency may require.— From the excellent spirit already evinced, and previously exhibited when occasion called for it, we are quite satisfied that the Magistrates will receive the hearty support of every respectable man of all classes in preserving the peace of the connty, and in affording protection lo the properly of those who reside within it. TO THE WORKING CLASSES. One of the most numerous and in all probability the most respectable public meetings'ever held in Ihe city of Edinburgh, took place on the 28th ult. ( Sir J. S. Forbes, Bart, in the chair); when the following Address was unanimous! vadopted :— " To the King's most Excellent Majesty, " May it please your- Majesty,- " We, the undersigned Inhabitants of Edinburgh and its vicinity, your Majesty's most dutiful aud loyal subjects, humbly approach your Royal presence, and in discharge of a duty which we fee) to be imposed upon us by the present momentous crisis of public affairs, beg to convey to your Majesty the assurance of oiir firm anddefroted attachment to your Royal Person and House, and of onr unshaken veneration and regard for the Constitution. " While we shall ever be ready to recognise the pro- priety of a free and dispassionate consideration and correction pf any specific abuses or delects which may be shown practical! y to exist in the Constitution,, we are too deeply sensible of the blessings derived from it, as a'whole, not to deprecate any general reconstruction of that system of Representation under which this country has so long maintained a dignity in its external relations, and enjoyed a course of internal prosperity, peace, and security, which we believe to be without example in the history of the world. " We beg to express the gratification we feel that no farther creation of Peers was resorted fo for the purpose of carrying the late Bill of Reform, notwithstanding suggestions to that effect from various quarters, which, it' acted upon, would have led to the destruction of the House of Lords as an independent branch of tlie Legislature. " We cannot but express onr grief and indignation that a decision pronounced by the House of Lords, ill the exercise of its constitutional functions, shonld, by unprincipled and misguided men, have been made a pretext for exciting the ignorant and unwary to acts of violence, convinced, as we are, that the House of Lords was actuated by the most sincere anxiety to promote the best interests of the country; and we entreat yonr Majesty graciously to accept the assurance of our earnest desirefor tne welfare of every class of the com- munity, and our determination, as individuals, to use onr best endeavours to preserve the public peace, and to uphold Ihe dignity of yoitr Majesty's crown, and the constitutional influence and authority of the Estates of the Realm. At the same time we cannot conceal from your Majesty our deep and painful conviction that if the legislative or executive functions of the State are to be exercised under the continued pressure of popular violence and intimidation, the dissolution not only of a regular Government, but of the whole system of social order in this country, cannot be far distant; and, im- pressed. with this conviction, we cannot but mark with our strongest reprobation those Political Societies and Unions which iu various parts of the kingdom, and under different pretexts, have been endeavouring to control and overawe your Majesty's councils anu the deliberations ef Parliament, and, ih common with yonr loyal subjects in general, to express our anxious ( lope that your Majesty in yoirr wisdom will see fit, by the use of every constitutional means, to repress such As- sociations, as well as every tumultuary assemblage, the continued existence of which must seriously embarrass the hands of G overnment, and mustexercise a malignant influence upon the comfort, security, and prosperity of the realm. " That your Majesty may long continue to reign over a free, contented, and loyal people, is the earnest prayer of your Majesty's most devoted and loyal subjects." A loyal Address, similar in its spirit to the ahove, ' is io course of circulation throughput the county of Suffolk. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge has just published an excellent tract, entitled " The Working Man's Companion," the concluding para- graphs of which are so well suited to the present state of some districts of ihe country, that they cannot be too widely circulated.— They arc as follow :— " To you who have patiently borne with us in our examination of the great questions upon which this little book so imperfectly treats, it is, we should think, un- necessary to lirge the paramount dtity of exhibiting, during a time of strong political excitement, a respect for the laws, and a determination to maintain the private rights of all men inviolate. The rights which are most open fo attack, as we have shown you, from designing and ignorant persons, are the rights of properly. Upon the upholding of those rights depends your own security, your own freedom, your own certainty of going steadily forward in the improvement of your condition. Those of you who possess knowledge, and who desire know- ledge, must have some influence nver those who, un- happily, still remain without that best possession. It is for you to convey to them the truths which we have endeavoured to establish. It is for you to show them that the participators in, or the encpuragers of tumult are the greatest enemies of freedom, lt is for you to show them that freedom can only be the inheritance of the peaceable, the industrious, and the virtuous. It is for yon to show them that no people can make any steady improvement in their institutions, that do not march forward in the'career of improvement with an even and dispassionate temper— with a tolerant regard for all honest opinions— and, above all, with a deter- mination that, come what storms there may, the vessel of the state shall not sink while the crew are quarrelling. Nothing can destroy our ultimate peace and prosperity but a violation of the great principles of natural justice, by which property is upheld for the benefit of all. In moments such as these, when we hear of a few hun- dreds of abandpned miscreants— not working men in any sense of fhe title, but thieves and outcasts,— not knowing the first interests of working men, because wanton destroyers of the capital by which labour must he Supported,— when we hear of a small band of these most ignorant of mankind, in this enlightened country, in this intellectual age, holding Ihe lives and possessions of a community of eighty thousand people, even for a single hour, at thej mercy of their lawless passions,— we could almost be tempted to think that real freedom Should never be the birthright of such spurners of the laws of God and man. Cast your eyes for a moment upon such sceties of frantic riot,, of desperate outrage, of grovelling drunkenness in the lowest stage of brutal abandonment; think of the terror of the peaceful in- habitants of such a place' in those hours of midnight plunder and Sabbath riots and picture to yourselves the wives and children of those once happy families clinging to their husbands and their parents to shield them from the destruction that was let loose in such un- natural and hideous shapes. When yon have pondered upon these things, look round for the remedy. It is the diffusion of sound knowledge which leads to the culti- vation of genuine religion. Unless yon, each in your own circle, put down that ignorant spirit that would make this temple of our once industrious and peaceful island " a den of thieves,'* our liberties are at an end, because our security is at an end. There can be no liberty without security. Unless you, each in your own circle, endeavour to instruct the less informed in the knowledge of their rights in connexion with their duties, we shall all go backward in freedom, and, therefore, in national prosperity. " When the ignorance of great masses of people is manifested by the light of a burning city, the records of that ignorance remain, in rnins which attest the hideous force of lawless violence. If the restraints of order are again set up, the ruins are cleared away ; and, slowly perhaps, but certainly, capital again ventures forth to repair the destruction which a contempt ef its rights had produced. But let the spirit of violence long con- tinue to exist in sullen contests with the law, or in causeless jealousy of the possessors of property, aud the spirit of decay is established. Then begins a silent but certain career of destruction, more sweeping and wide- spreading than all the havoc that civil war upon the most fearful scale has ever produced. Houses are no longer'burnt, but. they become untenanted ; manu- factories are no longer pulled down, but the sound of laflour is heard no more within their Walls;' barns are no longer plundered to distribute their stores, but the fields are not sown which were wont, to produce those stores ; roads are no longer r- ndered impassable by hostile tiands, but tlietrallic which once supported them lias ceased; canals and rivers are not dry, but their waters are mantled over vflth . weeds, for the work of communication is ended ; harbonrs and docks are net washed away by the sea, hut the ships that once spread their sails for every corner of the earth lie idly within their bosoms, rotting " sheer hulks," abandoned to the • destruction of the wind and the wave. In the mean time, while all this silent decay goes forward, and many a mouldering pile proclaims that the reign of justice is at an end, the people are continuing to perish from the face of the land. Famine and pestilence sweep away their prey by thousands ; and the robber who walks abroad at noon- day selects his victims from the few who will stVnggle lo hide a miserable remnant of former abundance. At length tranquillity is established — but it is the tranquillity of death. The destroyers have done their work ; " They make a solitude, anil call it pe; tce." These, assuredly, would be the consequences of following ihe blind guides that would break down the empire of property. These advocates pf your " rights"' would give you weeds instead of corn,, skins instead of cloth, hollow trees instead of houses; and when you had gone back to the " freedom" 1 of savage life, and each of the scattered tenants of a country covered with the ruins of former wealth could exclaim, " I am lord of the fowl and the brute," these ministers of desola- tion would be able to sing their triumphal song of " Labour defended against the. claims of Capital," amid Ihe shriek of the jackal, and the howl of die wolf. But we will hope better things. We will hope that the just, because natural, bonds of society, will be preserved' and that all aud each may cling together for the advancement of the happiness of all and each. " Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl he broken, or the pitcher be broken at fhe fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern"— before all onr social relations are deranged by the violence of lawless men — cultivate tranquillity. Unquestionably, if you exert yourselves to maintain the power of order in the stale, so that, to use the words of our liturgy, " peace and TURN OUT OF THE COLLIERS. ( From, the Birmingham Gazette, of Monday last.) We regret to state that a very general turn out among the Colliers employed around Bilston, Wednesbury, Tipton, Dudley, & c. took place at the commencement of last week ; and, as usual on such occasions, the men have, in different parts of the neighbourhood, assembled in large and tumultuous bodies, and in some instances proceeded to various disorderly and violent acts. Want of employment at satisfactory wages is stated to be the cause of the insubordination, and, m consequence, most if not all of the pits in that district have ceased working. — On Wednesday, the colliers in the vicinity of Tipton proceeded to Oldbtiry in a Considerable body, and suc- ceeding in entering the prison there, they released its in- mates, about twenty in number, chiefly if not wholly debtors. They afterwards required drink at the public houses, which wa's given to them; and, in the course of the afternoon, they left the town without doing much further mischief. In consequence of these proceedings, special Constables were sworn in for the preservation of peace in case' of any further attempt at disorder, but every tiling has since remained quiet, and some of the liberated prisoners have surrendered themselves. In fhe course of the preceding day, Tuesday, the coal- pits around Bilston were visited by numerous as- semblages of disorderly workmen, and those men who had not ceased working were compelled, in some in- stances with violence, to desist. A ringleader in this affair was apprehended at night, and lodged in the prison at Bilston; but on the following morning his companions assembled in great numbers, and breaking open the door, he was set at liberty, A reward t'of the apprehension of the parties by whom the prison was forced open was immediately offered, and a number of respectable inhabitants were promptly swcjrii to act as special constables. Application was also made for the assistance of fhe military— Wednesday being market day at Wolverhampton, a number of men proceeded thither. On their way they fipset every coal- cart they passed; and, on reaching the town, they crowded into the market- place, where their presence excited some consternation. In a short time a number of boys, who were associated with the tnrn- outs,- began to attack some of the smaller stalls,- and to throw potatoes and stones. Several shop windows were broken; and the shopkeepers in the market- place soon found it necessary to put up their shutters', which were' kept closed the whole day after; the butchers Cleared their stalls and left the market, as also did the dealers i. n poultry, vegetables, & e„ A small detachment of the 7th Hussars arrived from Birmingham in the course of the'evening, and paraded tl'ie streets. Nothing further of a riotous nature occurred ; and at an early hot'tr ill the evening the colliers dispersed. Most of the respectable inhabit- ants of the town were'swprn ih special constables,- the Wolverhampton troop of Y'e'oiAanry was called oiit, and orders were sent to Stafford tor the immediate march to Wolverhampton of tlie Staff of the Stafford- shire Militiav The Mayor aiid Magistrals? of Walsall,- on the first intimation of disorder, took the most effective steps to secure the peace of that town and neighbourhood. By Saturday 800 special constables had been sworn in, and addition was making to the number. Many colliers were about the town asking relief, bnf no tumult was occasioned. The Walsall troop of Yeomanry, under Sir E. 1). Seolt, Bart, marched to Bilstpn on Thursday morning, where they still remain/ At Dudley numerous assemblages of colliers took place during'the early part of the week, but nothing of a serious nature occurred, and the town and neighbour- hood have since continued quiet. Three men, appre hended for some riotous proceedings, have been com- mitted to Worcester gaol. A spirit of tumult was stated to prevail at Kidderminster, but the report turns out to be. unfounded. The accounts from Stourbridge are also satisfactory. The following is extracted from the communication of a highly respectable correspondent at Dudley:— " The town and neighbourhood of Dudley has been in a state of excitement since Tuesday/ in consequence of the insubordinate, and in some instances,- violent conduct of the Colliers. The Himley Troop assembled at their head quarters with their usual promptitude, and were on duty in Dudley during Thursday,- in the after- noon of which clay they'were relieved by the Stourbridge Troop, commanded by Capl. Hiekman, who has since occupied the town, having been reinforced by the Ar- tillery Train, and the Hanbury and Kidderminster Troops of the same fine regiment under the command of Captains Bearcroft and Turner. The soldier- like ap pearance and general good conduct of this body have justly excited univrysal admiration, and the inhabitants consider themselves deeply indebted to it for its ready assistance. Earl Plymouth, the colonel, and Lord Lyttelton, the Lieut.-' Colonel, have been on duty here with their regiment, and the presence of these noble officers was bailed with satisfaction. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the Magistrates and civil power, who have made the most indefatigable exertions in pre- serving the peace. The conduct of the Yeomanry during the past week is also beyond all praise. Capt. Hickman assembled the Stourbridge troopat a moment's notice, and was at Dudley in the shortest space of time ; and in less than 21 hours after the Magistrates first re- quired their aid, the whole regiment, with the artillery train, was on duty— three troops having taken up their station at Dudley, two at Stourbridge, and one at Hales Owen, the remaining troops being in reserve at Kidder- minster and Worcester, to aet as occasion may require. The highest merit is due to Adjutant Emmot, one ofthe best officers in the service, by whose surprising exertions these unprecedented movements were accomplished; and it is" to be regretted that he has been injured by some of the mob, who pelted him in a most cowardly manner. Lord Plymouth travelled eighty miles, and joined the troops at Dudley within seven hours after the express reached him." From the several towns above referred te, we have information as recent as yesterday morning, upto which, time all continued quiet; and although we believe that to the moment at which we write no further outrage has occurred, we have the best authority for stating that throughout the district peace is only maintained by the strong arm of force. At Bilston, situated in the very heart of the disturbed neighbourhood, are stationed the Staff of the Staffordshire Militia, and the Walsall troop of Yeomanry commanded by Sir E. D. Scott. Bart, in addition to a strong civil force, comprising the respect- able inhabitants, all of whom have enrolled themselves as special constables. Though thus protected, the fear of mischief was so great on Saturday, that the resident Magistrate, the Rev. William Leigh was compelled to prevent the usual market being held on that evening, and to cause the market gates to be closed early in the afternoon. By this very prudent step, the possibility of disorder was prevented. At the Earl of Lichfield's colliery, two miles from Bilston, amob of three or four hundred men proceeded on Friday night to commit serious injury, and before the civil power could arrive on the spot they succeeded in sinking two boat loads of coal.— The present movement of the colliers is certainly one of the most threatening that has ever taken place within our recollection; and although the men are by no meansevil disposed, generally speaking, yet amongst, sn large a multitude, tpo many will be fpund bent upon doing mischief. Oi e object:,- by which to enforce compliance with their demands, is to cut off the supply of coal; and in this, unless a speedy agreement take place, they may for a time succeed, for it is believed that there is not at this moment a single pit at work between Stourbridge and Walsall, or between Wolver- hampton and this town. It lias been already stated that on Wednesday even- inga troop ofthe 7th Hussars, stationed atour Barracks, lett this townfor Wolverhampton, wherertheyat present remain. In addition a strong detachment of the 91st regiment from Warwick marclied into town on Satur- day evening, and left for Bilston and Wolverhampton early yesterday morning. An extra force of regular cavalry is also ordered to this town, to be ready in case of need. We trust, however, that the differences between the employers and their men will speedily be arranged, and that, by the latter returning to work, order may be permanently restored.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. DIOCESE OF HEREFORD. Sin,— Having observed with regret that several Benefit Societies in this county have lately been dis- solved, and others seem likely to be so, 1 venture to submit a few remarks upon the subject. It is not necessary to consider here the policy or nrpolicy pf the late Act of Parliament respecting these Societies, the clauses of which have caused so much dissatisfaction. There can be no doubt it was well intended, though not in my opinion judiciously exe- cuted, and will in all probability be speedily amended where defective. As this is likely to be fhe case, it will be matter of regret if old- established Benefit Societies are hastily dissolved, without waiting a little to give time for representations to1 be attended to; Havi. igendeavoured to assist the members of a large Society to amend, their rules according to the Act, and having communicated several times with Mr. Pratt, the Barrister appointed under the Act to Correct the rules, I will state shortly the result. There is no limitation whatever against any member spending his own mbiiey at any club meeting, but only a proper restriction on the club money being expended,- lest absent members be injured. By a tri- fling payment- of every member present, refreshment may be obtained as before ;' and from the club rtriney an allowance for the use of a room ( including fire, candles, & c.), which will legally cover any small outgoings. Some alarm was excited by the words of the Act that the funds might be paid into the hands of commis- sioners for redeeming the national debt. This is, how- ever, a mere form of words, borrowed ( as Mr. Pratt states) from a former act. The members will have as full a eontroul of their funds as ever: they may with draw the whole when they please. It is not compul sory ( under the Act) te lay out the funds in government securities : they may be put on mortgage of real pro- perty. No part of the Act is compulsory on these Societies : they may go on legally without it. If not enrolled, indeed, " they lose several advantages- higher rate of interest, facilities for recovering debtss preventing fraud, Sc. ; but being legal Societies, they may, if the members choose, enforce their own rules without enrolment. One objectionable part of the new Act is the troublesome return of names, payment, & C'. required ; but this is to be'made only once in five years, is not compulsory, at least ils neglect does not vitiate the Society, or prevent lliein ( if enrolled) receiving all benefits of the Act. It is not necessary to submit the rules of any Society to the Barrister, if they are copied from' those of a Society already en- rolled; and I venture to suggest this as the easiest way of proceeding. If any alteration is made, only the part alteredjjeed be approved by him. And although' the process appears at first somewhat troublesome, it really is easily accomplished, if one or two sensible men in each club, desirous to continue the institution, will set about the task in earnest. The, benefits under the Aet are very considerable,- and sheuld npt be hastily lost sight of. It is to be lamented lhat. whit was intended to confirm and extend these Societies, should, by overstrained interference, have done mischief. This will be corrected, doubtless, on due enquiry. Admiring greatly the principle of these Institutions, and earnestly hoping that at a future time they may be extended to provide against fluctuations in employment I " •! a', t* alscy I submit these humble suggestions for tne consi- I fZl. deration of members.

SIR, Being at Welch- Pool la" st week, when the Sweep- stakes for £ 60 was to be run for, I conld not resist going to the Course, and much gratified I certainly was by seeing as beautiful and well- contested a race, and moreover upon as good a Course, as the most anxious lover pf the tntf could wish for. Being an occasional frequenter of the Race- eonrse arid a lover of the sport, I sincerely hope that the spirited inhabitants of Pool will, with the assistance of the neighbouring gentry, exert themselves to re- establish Races there.* Dining wilh a friend at the Oak Inn, after the Races, our after- dinner talk led us to the subject; and, among others, I was milch pleased to hear ( it always gives me pleasure, Mr. Editor, to bear of the inhabitants of a town promoting some useful object or benevolent pur- pose,) that means were about to be taken to secure to the resident Poor permanent employ for the winter;-— that a Board of Health had been established, who were causing every necessary measure for preventing con tagion to be strictly observed;— and that the Poor were to be supplied, gratuitously, with warm clothing. But how is it, I cannot help asking, that with all the public spirit, for which the town of Pool has been so justly celebrated, the inhabitants allow the street* to continue, night after night, in the disgraceful state of darkness they are, i-' though there is an existing fund for the purpose of lighting ?

The inspection of these Relics ofthe Great and Illus- trious of past generations forcibly recalls the impression which the philosophical pen of Dr. Johnson left upon our minds in enlegizinghisfriend Sir Joshua Reynolds, in which he eloquently characterizes the painting ot Historical Portraits " asan art which is employed, in diffusing friendship, in renewing tenderness, in quick- ening the affections of the absent, and in continuing the presence of the Illustrious Dead." The Exhibition to which the* Public are here invited, is a powerful illus- tration of the profound reasoning of this great philoso- pher. It is not enough, however, that the Public con- r'e eend to accept the agreeable treat which is in that Exhibition gratnitiously offered them. The Publishers of the Work with which the Exhibition is connected, and the Prospectus of which is in every person's hands, afford this entertainment to the Public, at a great ex- pence to themselves, in the reasonable hope that, by takin" the most comprehensive measures for proving the high merit of the Work for which they solicit Sub- scribers, that the view of this interesting Gallery ot the Originals may thus promote their own objects, and at the same time afford to the Public the best means of judging of the high merit of the Work which is offered ' tp their patrenage; the earliest Subscriptions of course ensuring the finest impressions.

ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY. [ Fro » i Felix Farley's Bristol Journal/| In consequence of a very general wish manifested by the Loyal Inhabitants of this City, who are desir* ous of maintaining inviolate the fundamental princi. pies of our admirable form of Government of King, Lords, and Commons, that an opportunity should be afforded them of addressing his Majesty on the present critical state of the country, a Meeting uf several Gentlemen, who took a lead in the Address ilnd Petition presented to the King and the two Houses uf Parliament in January last, has been held, Thomas Daniel, Esq. in tbe Chair 5 at which it was determined that the following Loyal and Dutiful Address to His Majesty should he submitted to the Citizens for their signature : — To the King's Most Excellent Majesty, We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Undersigned Magistrates, Clergy, Merchants, Bankets, Householders, Freeholders, Free Burgesses, and Inha- bitants of the City of Bristol and its Vicinity, approach your Royal Presence with the renewed assurances ot' our inviolable attachment to yotfr Majesty's Person and Kingly Oflice, at a time when the lofty character among the nations of the earth which, by the provi- dence of God, Great Britain liaS attained, seems to be blotted out of the memory of many of her people. A Constitution, which to the wisest men of ancient times seemed rather the object of a Patriot's desire than of his reasonable hope, is in our own age undervalued aud reviled by multitudes, who live in the daily enjoyment of its blessings. Weacknowledge that the imperfection stamped on all the works of Man, Clings even to that for which we are expressing our veneraton. But we cannot regard without horror the uufilial slanders heaped nn our constitution by men who, forgetful alike of the fame and solid happiness which It has brought upon our beloved Country, bend their gaze upon its imperfections alone, and in their rashness would begin its reformation by its subversion. The remedy unhappily contrived by the Servants of1 the Crown for the cure of these imperfections, has been far indeed irom uniting the better informed portions of your Majesty's subjects, although we lament that too many even of these have suffered themselves to be deluded into an approval of it. But it has linked into one bond of brotherhood the turbulent hater of all regular government, the unprincipled Scoffer at the Religion which his Country acknowledges, and the Godless disbeliever of any. It required no prophetic eye to see the sad tendency of a Measure, to whose support a Confederacy such as this rushed with one accord ; it argued no insane obstinacy to deny that their Voice was the Voice of the Nation ; and it needed not the spectacle afforded by the yet smoking Ruins of one of the fairest of your" Majesty's Cities, to teach thoughtful men the nature of the final Argument which such a band might be expected to employ. By the alarming Measure brought before the last Session of Parliament, for the total reconstruction of our Representative System, all the Safeguards which the Constitution had provided for ensuring in the House of Coiumdns a due ami justly- proportioned Representation of the different Interests of the Com- munity, would have been entirely swept away ; and in the room thereof would have been substituted a novel and speculative system of Representation, founded upon abstract principles of Uniformity and ideal per- fec'ion, which, by giving to one Class an undue pre- londerance over all others, would liavg added to the 3emoCraticaI Power in the State such an overwhelming accession of strength as would have been utterly incompatible with the Co- existence of the Monarchy and the Peerage. To a safe, gradual, and temperate Reform, by changes calculated to correct abuses, or repair breaches in the Constitution effected by time, wc are far from being opposed: but the measure to which we have alluded was of a widely different character. Instead of restor- ing, it was calculated only to destroy. The sweeping and arbitrary extinction of Electoral Rights which it iroposed W'as repugnant to file spirit and practice of the Constitution, and would have established a Precedent for future spoliation, which no subsequent Government could hive withstood ;— not only was it unsupported by any charge of delinquency,— it had not even the plea ot expediency in its favour •— no Incroachment ou the Privileges of the Popular Branch of the Legislature was pretended,— no practical grievance alleged which could in any manner call for so perilous and desperate a remedy. Tbe apprehension of Popular Commotion was the only justification assigned for a measure, allowed rven by its supporters to be pregnant with the greatest danger. Tints it appears that the Constitution, under which, by the blessing of God, this Country has attained the highest degree of prosperity and freedom, — which in the worst of times has been found equal to every emergency,— and which lias developed the happy faculty of adapting itself to the representation of the great and complicated variety of Interests that have grown Up with the Wealth, the Commerce, and extend' oil Possessions of the Empire,— was now at last to be surrendered Up a Sacrifice to Fear, a Peace Offering to Intimidation; ill the vain hope of appeasing, by con- cession, an inordinate lust of innovation, generated by the arts of Faction, and which, but for the incessant excitement of a profligate ami revolutionary Press, would have long since subsided, That we have been preserved from the ruinous and irreparable consequences of this ill advised Measure, is due to the Wisdom and Courage of yotir Majesty's Hereditary Counsellors, the House of Peers; anil it is another eminent instance of the excellence of that Constitution, which has provided so effectual a barrier against the ebullitions of popular excitement. Any incroachmertt on the independence of that essential branch of the Legislature, would be a virtual dissolution of oUr admirable mixed form of Government. We trust, therefore, that your Majesty will not listen to Counsels which would lead to so fatal a result, Ta your Majesty, the Supreme Head of the State, we look up with confidence as the Ultimate Guardian of our Liberties and Rights, in the well- founded assurance that, under your Majesty's paternal protection, they will be no less safe from the assaults of popular vie lence than from the incroachments of arbitrary power, li/ December, 1831. It was at first intended that a mote General Meet- ing of the Inhabitants should have been convened, similar to the course adopter) On the occasion above alluded to, but A consideration of the early day fixed for fhe re- assembling of Parliament, and of the importance that the Address should be presented with as little delay as possible, induced the Gentle- men, though reluctantly, to relinquish that intention. The Address Contains columns for the addition of the place of ahbde, and description of each subscriber; anil we are happy to say, that although it bus not until now been tUBLlCl. Y announced, it has already received many hundreds of signatures, and we feel quite sure that a document so admirably prepared, and containing such Constitutional Principles, will receive such a host of signatures as will go down to. posterity a perpetual Record of the Loyalty and Patriotism of this ancient City.

The members of the Inquiry Commiltee are busily occupied iu their fatiguing labours, and much important evidence lias been received. Although the Committee Cannot lake the evidence upon oath, the best plan tinder Ihe circumstances is adopted. The evidence is carefully taken down, and read t > the individual, who then signs it in the presence of the Cotutiiitt e ( three of whom form a quorum), who also sign the documents.

Brave Peers of England, nobly have you done Your duty, nobly tor yourselves have won Unsullied honour Though the firebrand tongue Of faction and its murderous hands have flung Its words and weapons to assail your fame, Attempt your persons, give your roofs to flame; Though lips official, as with threats vour ears, Your bosoms sought to inundate with fears; Tried by intimidation's force and fraud, Unlnr'd by wiles, by menaces unaw'd. In honour and in conscience firm ye stood, As rocks immoveable resist the flood. Impregnable is virtuous constancy, And will the rage of multitudes defy; And threats of rulers urging things perverse, Making their power an universal curse; Troubling the waters to obtain the fish, All things fermenting in their eager wish Loaves for themselves at public cost to make; Venturing all risks for their ambition's sake. So freely and tumultuotisly had run The course of agitation that begun ; High seem'd the reign of terror, on one side, On one side only freedom seem'd, denied To all who might not wholesale change desire, Whom revolution's charms could fail wi( h love to fire Y'et mustering thousands cf seditious men, The voice of menace and more furious pen, ( Scattering those hints upon polluted paper, That ligHt the incendiary's infernal taper,) That kindled first the fire ai d feuds, and still Fans with fierce potency, and throws at will, Not oil on troubled waters, but 011 tires Of glowing fury, and worse rage inspires, As each successive stimulating sheet " Wakens afresh a more pernicious heat; Nor hinted threats that from high places fell, Nor the mob's menace and its brutal yell, Could with base terror strike or daunt with fears Th' heroic hearts of England's glorious Peers. Though safety may be fled, they honour cherish. And rather than as dupes wonld victims perish. Mark'd out by England's ministers of state For special obloquy and public hate, Our pious Prelacy are made the aim Of ruffian outrage and nocturnal flame. Unanimous the nation needs must be, When burning roofs wait those who disagree. Such are the first fruits agitation yields How wholly worthy of th' infernal fields Will be the harvest: every form of crime By which the worst of men to power may climb. Fair freedom, for thy sake we soon shall tell Thy substance and thy blessing bid farewell. When BriaTeus the sovereignty shall hold, Thy being will have ceased, thy knell have toll d. Complaints though whisper'd to his jealous ear, And faintest murmurs treason will appear; The slightest effort to controul his will The land with slaughter and with flame will fill. When multitudes their sovereign will enthrone, Nor other law but their mere pleasure own, The many- headed Cerberus devours Beyond a single despot's utmost powers ; Oppression grows with growing numbers worse, Each added tyrant aggravates the curse. Not lighter is the wrong by party done, Than the same misery if wrought by one, And tyranny is tyranny 110 less, When tyrant millions than when few oppress. Not seldom from corruption of the best Worst things do spring; heaven guard us from the pest Of freedom's hypocrites, her deadliest foes, Whose wide and lawless domination grows Under delusive mask of liberty, Held by themselves in sole monopoly. With the illustrious Peers what must be done, When public phrenzy shall its course have run T Soon may this present age thoir work confess, Their names may latest generations bless, For ever hononr'd may their memory be, Crown'd by each future age with gratetul eulogy f FROST. yon are not, then it is time for you to awake from lhat sleep of indifference, " sa mollesse de juste milieu," to which, by the confession of even a re- publican journal, the gentlemen and tradesmen of Lyons owe the loss of their lives, the destruction of their property, and the pollution of their families. It is not to form " Unions" that the example of Lyons will admonish you. The Lyonese had their " Union of Trades," and France had her" Aid- toi" National Union. It is not to enrol National Guards; 110, they had National Guards at Lyons that they could well have wished away— armed robbers and desperadoes. It is not to encourage revolutionary appetite aud popular influence; of these the Lyonese " had supped full." The lesson which you are to draw from this example " given for your instruction," and if you are Christians, you believe that every such example is providentially given— teaches the very reverse— teaches that public order, public contentment, respect for the laws and their appointed ministers, and aversion to change, furnish the only earthly guarantees for the com- fort and security of the cdttage and the villa, of the town, the castle, and the palace. Let us then fall back upon our ancient ways, repairing whatever needs repair— but so acting, as neither to excite angry or ambitious feelings in the populace. By such a course, the poor may yet be suved from themselves and the higher classes saved with them. Wc are unwilling to mingle with these general considerations any allusions to the details of polities, but the business of life is altogether conversant with details, and to be useful we must follow the course of that business. We feel bound to ask what chance is there that Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, nay London itself, and a score of other towns, shall not ( ollow the fate of Lyons,— at least the fate of Bristol,— if a great change indeed do not take place in the conduct of the government ? Have we not the same active excitement— the same material of wretchedness upon which fhat excitement is to act— the same machinery of rebellion organized— the same delusive promises held out; the dishonest authors of these promises " having got places," and only waiting to get chartered tenure of these places, by carrying their revolutions, to neglect and despise the populace, by whose aid they hope to carry it. Nay, even should they not voluntarily entertain contempt, or willingly show neglect, still it is impossible for them to redeem their promises, or pursue any conduct which must not to their pre- sent dupes have all the effect of neglect, and the most insolent contempt— Must we again recur to Lyons to show the inevitable consequence? No- thing but a radical change of the members, and of the measures of the King's Cabinet, affords a chance for saving us from such calamities as we now wit- ness iu France. NEWEST LONDON FASHIONS FOR DECEM- BER, 1831. ( FROM THE AMERICAN TOKEN.] THE Frost looked forth, one still clear night, And he said, " Now I shall be out of sight, So through the valley and over the height In silence HI take mv way; I will not go on like that blustering train, The wind and the snow— the hail and the rain, Who make so much bustle and noise in vain, But 111 be busy as they." Then he went to the mountain and powdered its crest, He climbed up the trees, and their boughs he dressed With diamonds and pearls, and over the breast Of the quivering lake he spread' A coat of mail, that it could not tear The downward point of many a spear,- That he himg 011 its margin far and ntftr, Where a rock could rear its head. He went to the windows of those who slept, And over each pane like a fairy crept, Wherever he breathed, wherever he stepped, By the light of the moon were seen Most beautiful tilings. There were flowers and trees, There were bevies of birds, and swarms of bees- There were cities, thrones, temples, and towers', and All pictur'd in silver sheen'.' [ these But he did one thing lhat was hardly fair; He went to the cupboard, and finding there, That all had forgotten for him to prepare; " Now, just to set them thinking, I'll bite this basket of fruit/' said lie : " This bloated pitcher I'll burst in three 1 And the glass of waler they've left for me Shall' tchick' to tell them I'm drinking." REBELLION AT LYONS. How long will men remain selfishly blind to the eternal and unchangeable consequences of demo- cratical excitement? The populace are wrought up lo frenzy by the promise of present triumph, and a fallacious perspective of future benefits They have not or they have the triumph. Defeated they become discontented, bud subjects and bad men, mortified by the failure, and ever pining for those distant blessings to which they fancied the road opening to them. On Ihe other hand, they have the triumph ; the eneiny of man lifts them to that power which it is impossible from the nature of things, any individual can enjoy, for the first time, except ill its abuse; and, armed with this power, they seek the more distant advantages held out as the principal bait to them. The history of Lyons during the last week will tell that comfort, crcdit, and prosperity must ever elude the hand that would grasp them by violence. The feeling which the populace must entertain after every successful revolution is described with admirable fidelity in the letter of M. Peiffer, a St. Simonian, as the actual inspiring motive of the mur- derous jacquerie of Lyons. " As for the priests and nobles ( Liberals) they have got rid of them; they made use of the people to bring about a revolution, and now they neglect and despise them." 44 It is an old lale, and often told"— violent revolutions always bring misery to the populace, yet by Ihe populace alone are such violent revolutions made. But the populace, tlioush thc chief, are not the only suf- ferers. What we know of the occurrences at Lyons is terrible enough ; but it is plain not a tenth is told : the fears of the royalist journals must co- operate with the palliating spirit of the republican writers to veil much the greater portion of the atrocities committed. The little of truth in this respect that has leaked out, has escaped in private letters. Gentlemen and tradesmen of England, are yon prepared for a repetition of these scenes in your own country— IN YOUR OWN FAMILIES? If [ From the ' World of Fashion,' a Monthly Magazine.] HATS ANII BONNETS — The latter only are worn in ont- door costume : they are of the capote shape, arid considerably smaller in the brim than those of ihe last month. Some bibis and roquets ( such are the names given tw these head dresses) have just been imported. The former is quite the Cottage shape, a very small and close brim, rounded at the corners, and a low crown placed very backwards. These bonnets are always trimmed with u weeping willow plume: some are composed of cock's feathers, to correspond in colours with the bonnet. The most fnshionable mix- tures are black, lined with green or blue : the feathers correspond either with the colour or the lining; or, if ostrich feathers are employed, they are uf the colour of tlte bonnet, tipped with that of the lining. The brim of lite roquet is shorter than that of the bibis : it is square at the corners : the crown of the same height all round is shaped like a man's hat : these bonnets are trimmed with satin striped gauze ribbons; a knot called noeud de cravate, composed of long flat hows placed one above another in 1 lie form of wings, is irt. Inched obliquely to the left side of ihe crown, si, that one half uf the how rises ahove it: both these bonnets are trimmed behind willi short and very full curtains, which Hand out rather from ihe neck. Velvet, velours epingle, and satin, are ihe favourite materials lor bonnets:— some nre composed chiefly of one material, others of two, as velvet lined with satin, ami viceversa We have seen also a few lined with pluche de soie,— but these latter are not vet numerous. The colours feuillede acanthe. and aventurimare next in favour for bonnets, to those we have already spoken of. OUT- DOOR COSTUME — Manlles are universally adopted. Velvet, gros 0-' Indes, satin, and a variety of materiels composed of Cacln mere wool, are all in favour-.— some of the latter are striped,— the snipes alternately plain and spotted, and of different colours. We see also in the spoiled stripes, patterns in which different colours are mingled. Ot Iters are of large and singular patterns serpentiug upon red or hrown grounds. The most elegant rnrri » ge mantles are those willi a plain ground, nnd a richly embroidered border,— the pelerine, also, embroidered 10 correspond. Those with large sleeves a la polonaise, are onlv used for evening dress. Several mantles have lUepelerines trimmed willt rich fringe ; hut this is matter of choice, ns they are equally fashionable without. Wadded Pelisses will also, it is expected, be generally adopted in the course of the month. Those in preparation are • of moire, salin, or gros deludes: they are almost all made with two pelerines. Some are simply finished with a broad Item round the border, surmounted with one or two pipings of the material of the pelisse; others are cut round in points or squares, with a Utile distance between each ; llie collar is eilher square and lulling, or else sinnds up, and a little from the neck:— the sleeves nre very large, and of the gigol shape. A sable boa tippet and muff is indispensable in nut door costume. MAKE AN0 MATERIALS OK MORNING DRESS.— Silks of different kinds, and Cachemere are the favonrite materials. Gros de Naples and Cochemere are mostly adopted in home dress Gros de lndes. gros de Tours, and moire, nre principally employed for morning visits. Plain high corsages are very much in fashimi. We see also several 111 crossed drapery : sleeves are as large ns ever at the top -.— the short gigot form, which is most in favour, does not sit quite tight, except al llie wrist, from thence il gradually enlarges, till, as it approaches the elbow, it becomes very full. The most striking difference in Ihe make nf dresses is the immense width of the skirls, which are at least half as wide again as last year: the plaits are very deep at the waist, particularly behind, where il is arranged in folds, which reach to the bottom. MAKE AND MATERIALS OF EVENING DRESS — Moire, chaly, and mousselme de laine, are all ti favour in the evening negligi. I he most elegant of the latter are those with satin stripes, or else a colonnes, printed in pretty patterns. The corsages are in general a lagrecque, and of a decorous height: the sleeves fur moire dresses, of while transparent gauze, over short moire sleeves. If llie oilier materials are employed, the sleeve is Hie same as the dress: it is of short gigot form :— trimmings aie only w orn in full dress, and ihry are of embroidery or blond luce. MAKE AND MATERIALS op FULL DRESS— Besides the materials which we described last month, moire, either embroidered or trimmed with blond lace, begins lo be much in favour:— the embroidery is in a Chinese pattern either in gold, silver, or coloured silks, ahove Ihe hem, and round lite drapery which adorns the back and shoulders of Ihe dress : the sleeves are of a double beret form, that is to say, soarraaged as to appear like iwo very short beret sleeves, placed one below the Other: tiie plaits are very large, and must lie placed in contrary directions, if the dress is trimmed with blond, 1 lie corsage is ornamented iu the mantUlestyle, and a deep flounce, bended by a light trimming of gauze ribbon, goes round the border. HEAD DRESSES IN F01.1. DRESS— Turbans are com- ing much into favour, particularly those of white and coloured crape, lightly embroidered with gold or sit- ver, and tri led witli marabouts. Velvet berets aie also in great request: the most elegant are those trim- med with two birds of Paiadise,— one drooping over the crown, llie other towards the neck : some have, in addition, under the brim of the beret, n long ostrich feather, which turns towards ilie crown, and round il iu a spiral direction. Ponceau anil green are Ihe fa- vourite colours for velvet berets. Chapeau demi- berel will, it is supposed, bequile the rage ibis winter. The si elegant nre those thai have I he crown in Ihe form of a Polish lancer's cap, with a very small round brim, rather 1111 one side: a weeping willow plume, com- posed of while coek's feathers, is attached lo one side of the crown by three rows of gold cordon, which is broil.' lit from the opposite side of the crown and I urns Itiide" the brim, where it terminales hy Iwo glands. These lulls are always composed of velvet. The co- lours most in favour are all ilie shades of aventurine, and the other shades nf brown mentioned last month ; also dark bine, green, lavenders, crimson, beet- red, azure, canary colour, ponceau, and rose- colour. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.— MONDAY. ( Before Lord L. vndhurst,) CRANAGE V FlllCE. This was an action brought by the plaintifl against the defendant for slander. Mr. Holt staled ihe circumstances of the case to the jury.— He said the plaiuliff had resided in Wellington, iu the county of Salop, at which place he had practised for several years as a respectable attorney. The de- fendant, Price, was a farmer and public. house keeper at Roddington, a small village in the neighbourhood of Wellington. In Ibe month of March last, a quantity of land, situated ut iloddiuglon, was ordered to be sold for the benefit of the poor, by M r. Dixon, one of the Trustees.— The auction vvns directed to take place at an inn iu Wellington, instead of at defendant's public- house, ot Roddinglnu, nnd Ibis, lie believed, was llie causewhich induced the defendant to utter theslander- ous expressions, for which the present action was brought. Mr. Dixon, however, thought that he was only doing liis duly, as one of the trustees of the pro- perty, to institute the sale in a large and populous town, where ihere was likely to arise great competi- tion, in preference to holding it in a small and insigni- ficant village. While the sale was proceeding, the defendant entered the room and disturbed the business by declaring that there was more titan one trustee to the property, and that Mr. Dixon had no right lo sell the land on his own authority. Upon hearing this, Mr. Cranage stepped forward and told Ihe defendant that he was Mr. Dixon's attorney, nnd lhat the pro- ceeding was perfectly regular. The defendant then said to Mr. Cranage, 44 Y'ou are no licensed attorney. 1 have searched with Mr. Andertoti ( the Secretary " to the Metropolitan Law Society), and I find that you have not taken out your license." Mr. Cranage, de- sirous that the sale might not be interrupted, offered, on purpose to convince the defendant that he Was in error, to send home for some writs, to which his name was affixed as attorney, but the defendant only replied by saying, " Any person can sign his name to a writ; that is no proof that you are an attorney ; you are not licensed to practise as an attorney ; I am snre of it, and . you know it." These were the slanderous words for which the present action was brought, and the jury would see that they were calculated seriously to injure the plaintiff iu his profession. It might, per- haps, be made a subject of complaint by the defend- anl's counsel, that the present action was tried in Guildhall instead of in Shrewsbury ; but the reason of this was, that the plaintiff, who was a certificated attorney, and practised in the Court of King's Bench, resided in London. It would have accumulated the expenses exceedingly to have carried all these wit. nesses down to Shrewsbury, and it was therefore more from a consideration of mercy towards the defendant than any thing else, that the action was brought in Loudon. Mr. Beck, ihe plaintiff's attorney, produced two certificates which the plaintiff had taken out to act as attorney In 1830 aud 1831. Knew that the plaintiff practised as an attorney iu the Court of King's Bench. Cross- examined hy Mr. J. Williams.— Since the plaintiff was admitted an attorney, his name had been off the Rolls. He did not know how long plaintiff's name was off the Rolls; plaintiff was re- admitted in Michaelmas term, 1829. He commenced proceedings against the defendant by attachment of privilege, lie gave notice to the defendant, but the defendant did not appear, lie brought ihe action in the Exchequer in preference lo the King's Bench, because he knew that in ihe former court the cause would come on with- out delay, nnd considerable expense thereby be saved to the parties. Re- examined.— It was the constant practice for at- tornies to have tlieir names struck off the Rolls, and to be re- admitted. Mr. Napoleon Aldridge, clerk in the Master's office, King's Bench, proved the admission of the plaintiff as altorney, iu June, 1824, and his having taken out two certificates for the years 1830 and 1831. By Mr. Williams.— Plaintiff's name would not ap- pear in the Law List of 1831, because he did not take out his certificate early enough. By Ihe Lord Chief Boron. — It was customary when evidence respecting the admission and certificate of au attorney is wanted to he produced at tiials in circuit, lo take a certified copy, aud send it down to the country. Mr. Pool, auctioneer, residing in Wellington, proved that the slanderous expressions set forth in the pleadings were utlered by the defendant. The de- fendant vvas extremely violent ut ihe time. Mr. It. Somers heard defendant tell the plaintiff that he vvas no licensed attorney.*' lie had since had occasion to employ an attorney, but he did not em- ploy the plaintiff, because he had a relation who was an attorney, and because lie thought, in consequence of what ihe defendant hud said, lhat the plaintiff might he practising illegally. Mr. Andeiloit ( lale Secretary to the Metropolitan Law Society) deposed that be was not acquainted with Price, and that he had not searched the Rolls with him. Mr. J. Williams, nn behalf of the defendant, felt assured that the jury would not countenance the sort of proceedings that ihe plaintiff had adopted. Why was the action brought in London ? Why not iu Shropshire, where it could have been tried at much, very uruch, less expense, and with the advantage, too, of a Shropshire jury, knowing something of both Ihe parties? ' file reasons he had mentioned to show that this case should have been iried at Shrewsbury were, perhaps, the very reasons why it wus brought before them. The defendant was fighting at fearful odds. The plniutiff was an attorney who had writs at his fingers' end; for 110 sooner was it hinted that he was not, as ihe witnesses called il, regularly licensed, than he j list slept out of the room, aud returned with a writ to show that he vvas a licensed practitioner. Then the action was brought in tbe shape of a bill of privilege, but this was discontinued. He did not complain of its being brought iu this court, for this court was perhaps selected on account of its growing popularity ; but he did complain of its being tried iu London, at a very heavy expense, ntt account of the witnesses, when, as many of those witnesses resided near Shrewsbury, they migiit much mure conveniently have gone to the Assizes there, and all ihe formal part of the proof, such as thai about the admission and the certificate, might have been given hy any one attending the circuit nn his own business, if he had been merely called 1111 previously to inspect the office books in London. The words conveyed no imputation on the plaintiff's character— they merely denied lhat he was regularly licensed— the injury, therefore, was but skin deep ; yel for that the defendant was to be punished by a heavy expense, the plaintiff' resolving lhat tbe battle should not be fought " by Shrewsbury clock, where it could have beeu fought at a comparatively trifling cbst, but by Guildhall clock, where the cost must he extremely heavy, lie trusted that the jury would give such a verdict as would disappoint the plaintiff in the object of entailing these heavy ex penses on the defendant. Lord l. yndhurst told the jury that the only question they had to decide was, that of the amount of the damages ; and they relumed a verdict for the plaintiff. — Damages Twenty Shillings. THE LORD BISHOP OF BRISTOL. We have much pleasure in giving publicity to the following addresses presented to the Bishop of Bristol, in consequence of the outrageous attack upon his Lordship's property and life, during the rebellious proceedings. From the Clergy of Dorchester. To the Right Rev. Ihe Lord Bishop of Bristol. " MY LORD— At this momentous period, we cannot refrain from addressing your Lordship, and offering our Sincere congratulation upon your lale Providential escape from the misguided populace, who, in Ihe blindness of their fury, have brought flames and desolation 011 one of the fairest cities of the King's dominions— the city of Bristol, over which your Lord- ship presides as the spiritual head. " ' The signs of the times,' my Lord, must create in every thinking mind considerable alarm for the safety of the Throne, and Ihe sacredness of the Altar. Too many persons in this once peaceful land, goaded to madness by a Revolutionary Press, seeui eager to rend asunder the bands of society, and determined lo overthrow the establishment of Christ's holy religion The cry against the Church nf Gad is that of the children of Edom in the day nf Jerusalem—" Down with it, down with it, even to the ground." But, although grieved at the wickedness of these men, our hearts are not dismayed— our faith is nnshnken, for we trust not in nn arm of flesh— our hope is in Oue that is mighty to save ; aud we donbt not that He will, from time totifrie, raise up lit instruments for th deliverance of his people. They shall still " walk about Sion, and tell the towers thereof: mark well her bulwarks, and set up her houses : and tell them that come after. For this God is our God for ever and ever." " From the sacred tie lhat subsists between n Bishop and his Clergy, we have, at all times, looked up to your Lordship with a filial regard and veneration. But we are bound to add that recent occurrences have greatly strengthened and cemented this feeling in our bosoms : We can never forget the noble firmness which you have displayed, in spite of threats and intimidations, to maintain inviolate the institutions of this kingdom, in Church and Slate. 44 Nor can we too much admire, or too earnestly endeavour to imitate that fearlessness in discharging the service of yonr Heavenly Master shewn even in the midst of so many and such great dangers. Un- moved hy the entreaties of those around you to omit the duties of the Sabbath in the tumult of insurrection, you " counted not your life dear unto yourself, so that you might finish your course vviih joy, and the Ministry which you had received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the Grace of God." " That the Almighty may continue, to shield yonr Lordship from the tiery darts of the wicked, and iong preserve you as a Bishop of that Church which you adorn by your unaffected piety, mtwentied diligence, and sound discretion, is the fervent wish and prayer of your Lordship's Obliged and Faithful Brethren." His Lordship's Reply. To the Rev. tbe Clergy of Dorchester. " GENTLEMEN— 1 cannot but derive much satisfac tion from ihe very feeling aud oifectionate sentiments which you have addressed to me in congratulation nil tny late Providential escape from a misguided popu- lace. " I cordially concur in llie convictions which yon' have intimated of ihe necessity of reposing our con- fidence in the Supreme Being, for the preservation of the religious nnd civil distinctions aud privileges which the nation enjoys. The assurance uf your personal allachiuenl to me, founded 011 a too favourable ievv of my conduct and claims, is particularly graiify- g, as expressive of a strong sense of that sacred tie hicli subsists between us, and of which you so justly ppreciate ihe obligations and importance. " Willi every reciprocal feeling of esteem Si regard, " I remain, Gentlemen, 44 Y'onr faithful friend and brother, 44 It. BRISTOL." 44 Almondsbury, Nov. 15,1831.

THE INDIAN CHOLERA MORBUS. Magnesia a successful Remedy, Dr. Ainslie states, that having observed the ejected mailers in the cholera to be of an acescent nature, and that the aliment previously taken was generally an acid or acescent substance, he lost no time in having recourse to antacids, and generally gave preference tothe suhcarbonate of magnesia in a full dose,— seldom less than two drachms* and a half, or three drachms, dissolved iu water. He found Ihe magnesia a more certain remedy than the suhcarhonate of potash, or any other alkali, and asserts, that il was so effectual that lie had occasion in a very few instances only to repeat it. He says, that Ihe offending matter was by this means neutralized ; the distressing vomiting ceased ; the patient had, perhaps, a few loose stools ; a re- action took place in the frame ; and a tranquil sleep soon supervened, from which the patient never failed 10 awake free from complaint. By means of this simple antacid, he hesitates not tn say, that he has saved many hundred lives in India ; and since his return to England, it has been ordered with equal success. Dr Ainslie appeals to one of the most dis- tinguished Physicians in London, whether or not he finds the magnesia of eminent utility in the present disease. f The Doctor's remedy is a simple one, yet il appears to me 10 he worthy of trial, and, from the nature of the disease, I think it likely to be beneficial in very many cases of this alarming malady.— Extracted from Dr. Graham's Modern Domestic Medicine, page 266, fourth Edition. ' One drachm is equal to a tea spoonful, - f Observations 011 the Cholera Morbus of India, by Dr. VVllitelavv Ainslie. It is thought that no objection w liatever can he made by any one lo the making a trial, at least, of this simple remedy, in all kinds, and even in advanced stages, of Cholera Morbus, as Magnesia is a medicine so safe iu ils operations that the most eminent Physi- cians have advised it to be given to the youngest in- fants, particularly in complaints of the stomach and bowels; and, to obviate every objection, the patient, iu ihe weakest stale from Cholera, may nt first lake a smaller quantity to see its effects, and then the full dose os given by Dr. Ainslie. But, undoubtedly, this remedy vvill be most efficacious al the commencement of the disorder, and taken in the quantity that lias proved so successful. We relate the following instance of miraculous escape from apparent inevitable death, on the au- thority of a most respectable correspondent. It oc- curred at Stoueall, in the parish of Kempsev. Three children, one a girl about 11 years of age, the daughter of a widow woman named Farley, a regular attendant at our market, and two boys, the eldest of them also about 11, were playing near a draw- well in the garden of the cottage of the latter, when the girl, ignorant of its unsoundness, jumped upon the cover of the well. It immediately gave way with her, and she disappeared from the sight of her companions, into the abyss beneath her. The well was seventy tight feet deep, and there were at least ten feet of water. The bucket was partly sunk; the boys heard the crash of the poor girl's fall upon it, and they were hastening home for help, when they were arrested by the cry of " pull up." Instantly returning, they applied themselves to the windlass, and, after some labour, had the satisfaction of raising their playfellow from the dreary depth, and replac- ing her upon terra firma, not having suffered the slightest injury from the adventure. The extraor- dinary escape of the child may be attributed to the velocity of her descent having been much broken by her clothes being inflated by the air in the well, it was, however, of such force that the bucket vvas shattered entirely to pieces by the collision. It ap- pears she sunk once, but was fortunate enough at rising, to catch hold of the end of the bucket chain, and was drawn up hanging thereto.— IVorcester Herald. ittiaceUancoug EntrtUoence. NEWSPAPERS.— The stamp upon a newspaper, minus the discount, is about 3jd. to which adding Ijd. for paper, makes the price of it before a single type is set ( for the stamp duty is invariably paid per advance), just 4jd. It is sold to the newsmen for sixpence— this, in fact, being the price for which the publisher accounts to the proprietor. The profit, therefore, on a single paper, which pays so heavy a tax, and is conducted at so much risk— the unavoid- able hazard of damages in civil action, fine, and im- prisonment, is precisely three halfpennies'. For this paltry profit is the whole world ransacked for news — a sentinel, in the shape of a foreign correspondent, stationed in every capital city of Europe and America — an agent at every sea- port and market town— a spy in every court and camp— an eaves- dropper every public- office— a reporter at the elbow of every member of Parliament— a reporter at every publi feast and funeral— at every meeting of the saints— at every gathering of the common- council and prize ring— at every fete champetre and public execution — at every public whipping and charity sermon— at the first appearance of every thief in the police court, who is w atched till he waves his stolen handkerchief as he steps on board the hulks— at every market where women, or oats, or horses, or straw, or coals are sold— at every trial for treason or petty larceny — at the inquest held upon every strumpet who drowns herself, or patriot who cuts his throat— at every commission of lunacy, and at every royal coronation. For a poor penny- halfpenny on each paper all this is done— all these persons employed ; all that passes in the world is wafted on a broad sheet from pole to pole, in spite of plague, cordon sanitaire, or civil war. WHAT IS MEANT HY LIVING WELL?— By far the most popular recommendation, as a safeguard against cholera, is " to live well," by which most people understand eating somewhat more than their accus- tomed quantity, and taking an extra glass or two of wine after dinner. No one certainly thinks of diminish- ing his allowance : even the habitual tippler protests that any withdrawal of his accustomed stimulus, howeverjslight, leads to debility. It is high time that this pcrnicious misapprehension should be removed. " To live well," means to live " regularly," taking due nourishment, and no more— eating and drinking to support the body, not to pamper the appetite. Viewed in this light, we would ask how many there are who do not already eat and diink enough, and more than enough ? certainly not one man of a hun- dred, in easy circumstances. Almost the only thing which prevents people from eating and drinking too much, is being unable to afford it. Our injunc- tion to all those who talk to us about 44 living well," is never to fake more than they can easily digest— to regard all fortifying against the cholera, which pro- duces feelings of oppression, as so much assistance lent to the enemy— and more especially, with regard to fermented liquors, that all exhilaration must be followed by its corresponding period of depression— and that he stands the best chance of exception who so regulates his diet and regimen as to be attended with tbe least variation of the pulse during the twenty- four hours. These objections to an increase of the " creature comforts," apply with equal force to per- sons druggingthemselves with barh or quinine. Where there is much screwing up, the nerves will more readily become unstrung, and then is just the moment for any prevalent disease to make its attack. We cannot, however, hut commend the exertions which are every where being made to add to the comforts of the poor : let the rich be assured that this is the most effectual way of keeping the evil from their own doors. The best way for them to live 1cell is to put it in the power of their less fortunate brethren to live better.— Medical Gazette. In the last United Service Journal, containing a continuation of the44 Recollections of a Sea Life by a Midshipman of the last Century," ( a Memoir replete with entertaining anecdote and interesting observa- tion,) we were struck with the following remark as truly applicable to the present infuriated times, which the writer makes in describing a mutiny which had taken place on board his ship :— 44 In all cases of re bellion and mutiny, as well as in such cases of reform as are carried by the display of physical force, it is well to remember that the friends of good order, those who wish only for the redress of some real grievance or relief from some real evil, in calling up that dis- play, make common cause with those who have no common feeling with them, except in relation to the ostensible ground of complaint; and who, when that is removed, will sweep them onward with a tyranny infinitely more ruthless than any from which they have escaped." CARLISLE POST- OFFICE.— A job has just been consummated touching the situation of postmaster in this city, which really tells 44 unutterable things" ot our immaculate Whig ministry, and especially of thaf important member of it who is so intimately con- nected with lis— to wit, the First Lord of the Ad- miralty. The individual who has filled the place for some years is a partner in an extensive manufacturing concern which has lately become bankrupt; and on this account, and contrary, we understand, to all previous usage and regulation in the General Post- office, without proof of any misconduct, and without waiting the final examination of the bankruptcy to be satisfied there was no misconduct, the old Postmaster — who, by the way, is not, it is true, either a Whig or a Radical— is dismissed from his office, and his place filled up— by whom, reader, do you think? By some meritorious officer of the Post- office, for in fact there is one, and in this very Carlisle Post- office too. who has not only great claims arising from long and faithful services, but who had been promised, posi- tively promised, the situation, should a vacancy occur, by the very minister who has made the new appointment ? But no; merit has never been much a passport to Whig patronage, as this transaction very clearly proves, had we not had it proved before. Yet, we ask again, whom does the reader suppose the lncky recipient of this Whig honey- fall ? We are sure he cannot guess: and therefore, though at the risk, we are equally sure, of being discredited, we will tell him— it is the first cousin of the First Lord of the Admiralty ? Stare, reader, as you like— storm at our arrogance if you choose— call us liars and slan- derers if you please ; but so it is— strange— passing strange— and wondrous strange, though it be 1 Fergu: James Graham, Esq. first cousin to the Right Hon Sir James Robert George Graham, Bart.

We stated some time ago that a hand- loom weaver could not get in full em- ploy more than 6s. or 7s a week ; hut at the present lime we are credibly informed that they do not average more than 2s. ( id. a week. To talk of a man's living upon this sum is preposterous. The Coventry people attribute the miserable condition of their trade to the admission of French goods, and to that alone. A letter to the Coventry weavers, by a manufacturer, has been put into our hands ; and we are informed that it has excited a good deal of atten- tion among the persons to whom it is addressed. The writer says that 44 without an immediate repeal of the bill for the encouragement of the French trade, the manufacturers of Coventry cannot exist; delay is destructive. At the moment I am writing, French agents have received orders which will supersede our labours for the spring ( I state it on authority no one would question) to an extent three times greater than in any preceding year. While our looms have been standing empty ( I give the official return) no less than 29,000lbs. weight of manufactured silk has been imported from the 6th October to the 6th November last. How many uf our now perishing workmen might have earned the bread of industry from this import ? Well might an honourable gentleman, whose practical knowledge all must allow, say, 4 / am convinced that what is called, free trade may benefit individuals, but it is a public injury.' By the side of this remark how painfully ludicrous does the ques- tion appear of the President of the Board of Trade, to the deputation from Spitalfields, 4 have you any new facts to offer, gentlemen ?' New facts'. 1 Mer ciful Heavens, do not the convulsive cries of despair from our once happy and peaceful city supply new facts enough ? What fresh light does my Lord Auckland require when he reads that me 11 have been labouring for eigliteen- pcnce and two shillings per week 1 Is not the struggle for life which this most melancholy new fact evidences misery enough, that we must call in Ihe artisans of France to increase it?' We will not make any comments upon these observa- tions, but leave them to speak for themselves.— Morning Herald. The Lord Bishop of Hereford has collated the Rev. Thomas Wynn, B.

CREDULOUS AVARICE.— A singular instance of infatuated credulity lately occurred in the vicinity of" Hereford. Two gipsies, after making themselves ex- cessively agreeable to a person who resides at Tupsley, succeeded in persuading him that they had the power of increasing his wealth, and if he would place twenty sovereigns in a cupboard in his own house, after a given time, their incantations would multiply the sum four- fold ! Their simple dupe contrived to borrow ten sovereigns of a friend, which, with ten of his own, were wrapped in paper, and, with due ceremonies, deposited in the receptacle appointed for the precious store, where the sum was to remain nine days with- out examination, and of course under a strict injunc- tion of secrecy. At the expiration of the period, the golden treasure was anxiously examined by the ex- pectant candidate for easily- acquired wealth, when, to his litter dismay, he found his sovereigns transmuted into five copper half- pence, thc gipsies having adroitly made the exchange, whilst his senses were doubtless mystified by his subtle friends, who, of course, were over the hills and faraway" before he discovered the chcat. The trick has so often been practised, that it is extraordinary the sharps could have found such a fat for their purpose. Three men have been lately convicted in Scotland for the murder of their wives. The Caledonian Mercury states that on Wednesday, no fewer than six low drunken fellows were placed at the bar of the Palace Court, Edinburgh, charged with beating and maltreating their unfortunate wives. The Magistrate very justly observed, that the city was becoming a scandal to all Scotland for drunkenness, and a pro- pensity among low drunkards to abuse their wives; and he was determined to punish with the utmost severity all that were convicted of crimes of such a brutal and unmanly character. The determination expressed by the Magistrate will, we hope, be adopted by all his brethren. The wind that wafted the Cholera to our shores was by no means one of those winds which blow nobody good. Doctors, druggists, apothecaries, quack- medicine venders, & c. are all endeavouring to enlist themselves in the pay of John Bull, or John Gull, and to attack the common enemy— " To curb the devil, or throw him out With wondrous potency.'* There is one remarkable feature in this bellum inter- necinuin against the fell invader. The long list of specifics for headache and toothache, consumption and sore throat, cancer and gout, lock- jaw and rheumatism, and the other various ills that flesh is heir to— Pills and potionSj Powders and lotions— are all at once discovered to possess the most power- ful efficacy as cures for the cholera. Nor are the dealers in chemicals and Galenicals the only persons who have taken the field against the destroyer, and who are likely to profit by the pestilence. Tobacco has obtained an anti- choleric reputation amongst the non- professional public, and is in extraordinary de- mand ; the trade in flannel flourishes; brandy ( quoth the Price Current) is 44 improving;" lime has not been for years past in such universal request; lodging- house keepers advertise apartments in situa- tions which 44the contagion will not affect;" and booksellers puff their pamphlets, which are eagerly purchased. We have also anti- cholera biscuits, anti- cholera gingerbread, and anti- cholera crumpets. We know not what the doctors are about at Sunder- land ; but in the metropolis 44 our hearts are mighty, our skins arc whole," and, backed by such an army of disinterested and benevolent friends and auxiliaries, it will go hard with us if we do not give the enemy a warm reception.— Morning Herald. DECISION AND PLIABILITY.— Without Decision a human being is a pitiable atom, the sport of con- trary and casual impulses. It was Decision that won liberty for England, 011 the plain of Runymede; it was Decision lhat rescued Switzerland from the grasp of a tyrant; it was Decision that tore away the tinsel trappings of popery, and showed the fair fabric of the Christian church in all its beauty aud simplicity; it is Decision that concentrates the powers of genius, and shows what men can do; it controuls the 44 freaks of ability," and prevents waste of mind, of time, and of energy; it gives dignity to character, and usefulness to talent. The most noble and affecting instances of self- devoted- ness, of the moral sublime, have been the result of calm Decision. Let us contemplate Cnrtius, de- liberately leaping into the flaming gulph to save his country; Guyon, of Marseilles, encountering death in its most loathsome form to slay the plague that desolated his native city; and, if I may avail my- self of the poet's vivid dreams, let me instance 44 The seroph, Abdiel, faithful found Among the faithless, faithful only lie; Among the innumerable false unmoved, Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified, His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal; Nor number nor example with him wrought, To swerve from truth or change his constnut mind." Reflect npon these instances, and deny, if you can, the moral beauty, the sublimity of Decision. Pliability may be graceful and winning, but it requires the contronl of a watchful eye and vigilant conscience. It is fit only for a holyday state of things, it will not do in this work. a- day world; it often makes us linger and loiter in the path of duty, or turn into bye ways that lead us far away. You will tell me, perhaps, that I preach; but, in the atmosphere of this world, Pliability dwells amidst contagion, and wears no antidote to secure her from the fearful risk. We breathe not here the pure air, we hear not the holy sounds of paradise. Con- tamination is easy ; and it is the least difficult of all things " to follow the multitude to do evil." If you consult the oracles of truth you will find, that, as there is little moral beauty, so there is little spiritual beauty without Decision. When the harp and the dulcimer, the sackbut and the psaltery sounded in the plains of Dura,/ would not Pliability have bent her knee in grateful homage to the splendid idol ? Contemplate the characters of those who will 44 shine as stars for ever and ever," aud you will find them distinguished by the holy bold- ness of decision. Patriarchs, prophets, apostles, reformers, martyrs; in all it shoue conspicuous. Decision will not surrender a single moment to indifference or delay ; he keeps the goal in view, and quickens his steps, because time is short.— Amulet.
