Life Insurance is of manifest Consequence to all who hold Estates for Lif'\ Situations und Offices, Civil, Ecclesiastical, or Professiona! 5 to Officer* in the Army and Navy, & c. as, by Payment of an Annual Premium, the Party insured is enabled to provide for Wife, Children, or Others, whose future Welfare he may wish in vain, by other Means, to promote. It affords a permanent ulti- mate Security to those who advance Money upon Annuities or otherwise. It renders Leases, deter- minable on one or more Lives, nearly equal in Value to Freehold Estates, as an Insurance to the Amount of the Fine, payable on the Demise of a Party nominated to such Leases, will produce the Sum required for the Renewal. It i9 a cheering Refuge to Parties engaged in extensive antl spe- culative Undertakings $ it affords 10 Persons in Trade the cert a in Means of Indemnification against a bad or doubtful Debt in short, Life Insurance, established iu Policy, sanctioned by Government, and confirmed by Ihe Test of Experience, is be- come, to almost every Situation of Human Life, a Measure equally important, useful, and benefi- cial.

LONDON, THURSDAY, 31 AY 30. Arrived at Blackwall, from India, 011 Saturday, it\ the ship Linocli, his Highness Prince Nawab Meer Shaw Khan, son of the King of Delhi. His Highness, with two of the principal ladies of his harem, immediately proceeded to the Plough Tavern, where lie remains until his arrival is known, and can be properly acknowledged by the Government. Every attempt during the voyage and since his arrival by gentlemen to see the ladies has been abortive. The ladies who have been ad- mitted describe the females to be low in stature, pitted with the small pox, and very uninteresting. A Bombay Paper of the ] 9th December says— " Accounts from Shcercz hand us a melanciiuly account of the progiess of the cholera morbus during its late ravages in that city. One of the wives, two ot' the children, and the mother of the Prince perished in the attack, and the deaths during nine days average above 211) per day. Among those who perished was Mr. Rich, our Resident at Bagdad, who had gone to Sheerez, to await the arrival of dispatches and orders from Bombay." Accounts from Asseirghur, dated the | 10th, give the following unfavourable intelligence respecting tiie climate at the present season in that I quarter:—" Although we are entirely free from the epidemic, I am sorry to say we have great sickness | prevailing here from Jungle fever, which alarms us nearly as much as the cholera. At this moment The Crown Piince of Denmark, who has just arrived in this country, is about 36 years of age, and has a son by a former consort; he has no issue by this Princess, whom he married when a widower, about eight years ago. At the time when Sweden projected the annexation of Norway to that country, our readers wil! recollect that Prince Christian proclaimed himself King of Nor- way, and if we may judge from his liberal and animated addresses, lie not only had an acute interest for the oppression of the brave Norwe- gians, but was desirous of elevating them as a distinct nation amongst the surrounding empires of the great European family. But the policy of Sweden succeeded, and this design was rendered abortive. Our readers will also recollect the famous epocha when this country seized on the Danish Beet, and when the tremendous bombard- ment of Copenhagen by oitr Navy on that occasion levelled the line Cathedra! of the city. At that time the Prince was foremost in resisting our attack, and exhibited instances of personal valour of the most dangerous and exalted character. The Crown Prince is cousin to the existing King of Denmark, and, as the salique law governs the succession iu that country, he is heir presumptive I of the Crown. The Kitig is about 57 years of i age, and has only one daughter, Caroline, who is | 28 years old, a very amiable personage, and the : object whom report has designed as the future Queen of England ! The Princess Consort of the j Prince, and who has arrived with him in this country, is grand- daughter of Matilda, late Queen 1 of Denmark, who was sister to his late Majesty George III. She is a fine woman, and very affable in her manners and demeanor. Their Royal Highnesses have been travelling through Italy, Piedmont, Naples, and Francc : in the latter country they received very distinguished attention. Their residence iu England is understood to be I about two months. An extract from the Madras Government Gazette of the 18th of December, says—" It is our painful duty to record the death of another of his Majesty's Judges in India. The Hon. Sir VV. D. Evans, Recorder of Bombay, died on the 15th instant, after a very short illness. Thus l:.^ Bench at tlie Sister Presidency has again lost its ouly Judge." It has been fur some lime reported, that Mr. Gladsl one, oil tbe resignation of Rlr. Canning, would be proposed to succeed that gentleman ia the representation of Liverpool: and al! doubt as to the truth of such report is removed, by a long article which appeared in the Liverpool Courier of last week. It is there stated by the writer, who seems to be intimately acquainted with the whole arcauum, " that the question has been put to him ( Mr. Gladstone) by some of his friends, whether or not he will consent to be brought forward, at tbe ensuing election, as r. candidate to iC|.: esent Liverpool; and that his answer has been, that, if the town thinks proper to require it, lie will con- sider it a distinguished honour, accept the call, and vacate his present seat; but unless so applied to, lie has no iutentiou of offering himself." The article then adds, " it will, therefore, be for you to decide, when the time arrives, whether or uot he id to be so invited." SPAIN.— The farce of a monarchical Govern- ment in Spain draws near to its conclusion. By a late act of the Cortes, disbanding the Roya! Regiment of Carabineers, the King has been strip- ped of even the puny protection of his body guard; and in this state he is of course exposed to the mercy of the populace, who will, it is feared, soon i dispose of him by violence, should the predominant | party ill the Cortes forbear lo remove him from the scene by gentler means. The utter helplessness of the unfortunate monarch in respect of military resistance, and the proved imbecility of his'under- standing, may exempt him from the usual fate of dethroned Princes, but nothing but a miracle ill politics can prolong his reign many months.— The Royalist insurrection in the northern provinces of Spain is said to have been completely suppressed ; and France, the only power which could interpose effectually iu the affairs of Spain, is not in the condition or in the temper to make the attempt.

It is therefore earnestly recommended to all persons labouring under those cruel maladies which evince themselves by weakness, debility, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, relaxation, indigestion, sickness, gouty spasms of the sto- mach, hysterical and hypochondriacal affections, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wanderings of the mind, See.

Solomon, Liverpoolis engraved on the Stamp, to imitate which ia felony. The news from the East of Europe is of an extremely unpleasant description. The Turkish Government, availing itself of its naval superiority, has commenced the reduction of the Greek Islands in a spirit of brutal cruelty which rivals any thing to be found in tin5 detestable records of that bar- barous Empire. The work of slaughter w as begun at Seio, by the landing of the Capitan Pacha, on the llth of April, with an army which has been rated so high as thirty thousand men. Against this overwhelming force, aided as it was by the Turkish garrison of the citadel, the Greek patriots could not of course offer any effectual resistance, and the result was the deliberate extermination of the whole Christian population as far as they could be discovered, without distinction of age or sex. It is said, that having accomplished- this sacrifice, the Capitan Pacha embarked to carry the scourge of vengeance and devastation to Saraos. SOUTH AMERICA.— A Provisional Statute, or j Charter, for the Government of the Revolutionized Provinces of Peru, has been published at Lima. The most remarkable circumstances contained in this document are the assertion of independence by Peru, and the assumption cf sovereignty by the Chilian General, San Martin, under the title of Protector.— Lord Cochrane appears to have felt that an acknowledgment of either of these claims would have been inconsistent with his fidelity to the Government of Chili; aud the breach between the General and Admiral was widened by the refusal of the former ( though possessing ample means) to defray the expenses of the fleet. Letters and Papers from Rio Janeiro and other ports at the Brazils to the end of February, mention that tranquillity prevailed, but that had it not been for the energy shewn by the. Prince Royal on several trying occasions, the Brazils would, from one. end to the other, have been again thrown into commotion. Such is the violent spirit of the people under his government, that it is next to impossible he should accommodate his measures to each. The Prince had given up all idea of ever returning to Europe, and the Provisional Govern- ment had compelled him to write a letter to the King, stating such to be bis intention. Austria, 1795.— By the Convention signed at Vienna, 4th May, 1795, his Imperial Majesty en- gages regularly to discharge the half- yearly divi- dends on the loan of £ 4,600,000 to be raised for his service : the re- pavment of tiie loan beinSF.

The following sums were paid on account of this Loan by the Portuguese Government, viz.— On ac- count of interest £ 163,320 18s. On account of re- demption, <£ 180,000.— Total £ 343,020. 18s. 1815.— By t h e Treat y si g n e d at Vi en un, 22d Ja n u a rv, I8I5, the further payments upon the above Loan of £ 600,000 are remitted. France, 1815.— By the definitive Treaty signed nt Paris, 20tli Nov. 1815, the pecuniary indemnity to be paid by France to the Allied Powers is fixed at 700,000,000 f. ancs; and by the protocol of the same date, Great Britain is to receive, as her share of the said indemnity, the sum of 100,000,000 francs. The whole of this claim has been settled. By the Convention of the 20th of November, 1815, 50,000,000 francs are to b » * annually paid by France, for the pay, clothing, & e. of the Allied Army of Occupation ; and by the protocol of the same date, Great Britain is to receive out of the said sum, 10,714,285 francs 71 cents, per annum.— The whole of this claim has been settled. Bow STREET— Murder of Mrs. Donattij.— Although the public have not heard lately of any pursuit ofthe barbarous murder of Mrs. Donatty, yet Mr. Taylor, the Vestry Clerk, and a Gentleman well qualified, have been constant and indefatigable in their exertions, frequently in the night as well as day, and no expense has been spared to detect the wretch, and they have at length got a woman and a man in custody, who are strongly suspected of being concerned in the murder. They underwent a long private examination on Tuesday before Sir R. Birnie, in the presence of Mr. Taylor, and the Gentleman who has assisted him, the particulars of which did not transpire MURDER.— John Chapman has been committed to the Devon County Goal for the wilful murder of his wife, who had formed an attachment for a fellow- workman with whom she was eloping, when the prisoner took a gun, and, on pursuing them, found his wife arm in arm with his rival; when he fired at his wife and shot her dead on the spot. Her paramour received part of the shot, but no material injury. Chapman did not attempt to elude justice, but said he was contented to die for her. The rudder of the Thames East Indiaman, lately stranded near Eastbourne, and for the recovery of which a considerable reward was offered, was on Monday found a considerable distance at sea, nearly opposite the Sea Houses, and on its being brought on shore, the assistance of three pair of oxen and nine horses were found necessary to draw it over the full of the beach, which, with great difficulty, was accomplished. On the following day a large piece of timber, a part of the stern, was also discovered in the water, and brought on shore. The rudder apparently has received considerable damage. THE SLAVF. TRADE.— Further papers relating to the Slave Trade have been laid before the House of Commons. The fust series consist of correspond- ence with France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, nnd the United States and the second, of corre- spondence with his Majesty'sComniissioners at Sierra Leone, Hayannah, and Surinam. With the French Government, tbe urgent applications of the British Secretary of State and Ambassador do not appear to have been peculiary successful, for the correspond ence concludes with a letter of Lord Londonderry, dated the 26th March, 1822, enumerating a formid- able list of offences by French vessels, aud conclud- ing wilh au injunction to Sir Charles Stewart, to urge the propriety of following, in France tlie ex- ample set by the Spanish Cortes, who had made it felony for a native of that country to be engaged in the Slave Trade. The correspondence with the Netherlands concludes with a letter from Lord Clan- carty, in which be states that he had, on the 21st March, a most satisfactory conference with the Minis ter of the Colonies, who admitted, that by the treaty between Great Britain and the Netherlands, the Slave Trade was entirely forbidden to the subjects of both countries, and declared that the measuses which he had taken, under the orders of the King, were such as W ensure the fall execution of the treaty. lu the correspondence with Portugal, the Marquis of Londonderry proposes— 44 that a declaration should be issued in the spirit of the treaty by the powers concerned, purporting that if there should be a proof that a slave or slaves had been, for the purpose of illegal traffic, put on hoard a vessel in the course of the voyage in which she was captured, such vessel might justifiably be detained by the cruisers, and finally be condemned by the Commissioners. 1' Dis- patches have been sent to the Governments of Den- mark, Sweden, and Holland, complaining of facilities afforded to the Slave Trade iu the islands of St. Thomas, St. Bartholomew, and St. Eustatius, A story is told in Paris of the English Banker, Baring, being seized on his way, with his wife, from Naples to Rome, by a band of robbers, aud compelled to ransom himself by the payment of several millions of francs. IMPORTANT TO MALTSTERS.— The early visit of Summer heat, appears to have thrown the manu- facturer of malt off his guard. From the quick manner in which barleys have of late'been found tj vegetate in the couch, and consequently increase in bulk beyond what is allowed by the last Act, which so minutely regulates the quantity it shall not exceed ( one bushel in twenty), many maltsters have sub* jeeted themselves to the penalty of £ 100. Oue of these cases came before tbe Court at the Petty Session held at. Chelmsford on Friday weuk, which vvas attended by an unusual number of Magistrates, before whom the charge underwent a most patient and impartial investigation, but the Act being im- perative, the penalty, mitigated to £ 25* was neces- sarily inflicted. The Act uuder w hich the conviction took place was the 48th Geo. III. chap. 74, sec. 19, of which the following is an extract:— u That if any " maltster shall tread, ram, or otherwise force " together, in the cistern, any corn or grain, sleeping u or steeped, or which shall be found so hard, close " and compact, as it could not be, unless ihe same " had been by some means or other forced together " to prevent the rising and swelling thereof, he shall " forfeit £ 100; and if, on removing the corn or grain, so suspected to- he trodden, out of the couch, 44 and returning or throwing the same back again, " and laying the snnif level in such couch, any in- " crease shall be found exceeding tbe rate of one " bushel in every twenty bushels over and above what " appeared by the previous guage thereof, in every " such case, proof being made of such increase as " ajoresaid, the same shall be deemed conclusive u evidence, that such maltster did tread, ram. & c. " and he shall be subject to ihe said penalty."— It appeared in support of the information that tbe ex- cise officer guaged the cistern on tbe 25th March, and found it to contain 212 bushels of barley, hut thinking that fhe conch was much compressed, be communicated his suspicions to the supervisor, and on the following day both officers attended for the purpose of ascertaining the fact, when tbe grain having been taken out of the couch bv them antl returned, it was re- guaged, nnd then discovered to contain 229 bushels, being an increase of more than 15 bushels. On the pari ofthe defendant il was con- tended that the heat of the weather— an unfair mode in returning the grain into the conch— the length of time occupied in doing so, beyond what was neces- sary— and various other disadvantageous circumstan- ces which accompanied the transaction, were the sole t auseofthe increase, and that no fraud was intended. After all the allowances had been made for the causes set forth, the increase could not be reduced so as to bring the transaction clear of the penally, there beii ir still two bushels more than was allowed by the Act, and the Magistrates therefore felt themselves calbd upon to inflict the mitigated penalty as stated above. — The defendant intends petitioning the Board for Uift- retuusiou of the fine. LONDON— SATURDAY, HOUSE or LORDS- THURSDAY. The Duke <> f PORTLAND WAS about to postpone finitely the 2d Reading of the Catholic Peers Bill, on the aileged ground of the necessary absence of Earl Pi rev, when Lord ROLLE, the LORD CHAN- CPLI. OR, the Duke OI'ATHOL, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, nnd some other Lords, urged the propriety of fixing some specific and early dav for the discussion.— The Mob'e Duke so far acceded to the suggestion as to name ; i day, hut so distant as the ' 21st of j une. — [ It is understood that ihe friends of the measure wished to spare it the shame of a rejection by an indefinite postponement; and that its enemies are anxious for a discussion and division, in which they calculate upon a triumph.]" HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. WOOL TAX. Mr. STUART W. ORTI EY presented a Petition from fhe clothiers of Yorkshire praying for a repeal of the Dirty on Foreign Wool. This tax had had the effect , of ( lepdving us of the means of contending with • foreign manufacturers in thr markets abroad. While this tax continued, the price of JBnglish Wool must be low, for people would not vyear cloth made entirely Of English Wool, and therefore foreign, cloth would he used. — Mr. BORRKLL was against the repeal.— • Mr COKE agreed with all that had fallen, from the Member for, Yorkshire as to the injurious effects of this tax1.— Mr. CUKV/ JJN thought the worst- part of this tax was its inequality. They , ought to ,| pok; ' with a very jealous eye on the importation of Foreign Wool — Mr. BKNETT congratulated the House, that ' the manufacturers of cloth in Wiltshire had not peti- tioned for a repeal of this tax, when agriculture was at so low an ebb. He Was perfectly Convinced, that if the tax ou Foreign' Wool was taken off, it would not increase the manufacture of woollen cloth itt this . country.— Mr S Woim. EYsaid, this tax did not beat- so heavily on the Wiltshire as on the Yorkshire cloths, the former being principally for home consumption. The repeal of Ihe tax would be favourable to the Agricultural interest. The fine wool would not be bought on the Continent if its export were allowed fluty- free to- morrovV. It. was the long wool, which \ vou* d alone be put chased - in the foreign market,— Sir C. BURRELL wished that Ministers would accede this litlle tax to the Agriculturists, without which they would suffer in the growth of their wool.—- Aft^ r a few words from Mr. PEIR. SE, the Petition was order- ed to lie 0: 1 the table, . and to be printed. FISHERY SALT. Mr. BRIGHT presented a Petition from the City of Bristol against ihe Salt Tax. He feared we should 1 real part of our fisheries by their being now oblige. 1 to pay 2s. a bushel for salt," as the salt for fhe fisheries, is now to be subject to the small duty, although the fisheries were previously freed wholly of the salt duty ; and he called on the House to con- sider of what serious consequence that would be to the nation The colonies would receive au addi- tional injury; for fish now bringing 40s. a barrel would have an additional 6s. a barrel laid on if.— Mr. GRJSNFELL wished Ministers particularly to take the situation ofthe fisheries into their consideration. — The Petition was ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. , WELSH JUDICATURE. Mr. JONES moved for leave to bring iu a Bill to alter and amend fhe practice of the Courts of Great Session in Wales. It was his intention to bring in the Bill pro forma, and to move that it be printed, in order that, il might stand over to the next Session. An opportunity would thus be afforded to Members to consider ihe subject of the Bill. Mr BARHAM complained of the course taken hy the Honourable Gentleman opposite, on a former night, iu availing himself of the forms of the House, to move that the Ilouse be counted, and by that . means smothering the measure of his Honourable Friend, lite Member for Pembroke ( Mr. Allen). If his Honourable Friend's measure had been suffered to go to a Committee, the Honse would then have had the two plans before them, instead of the single measure of the Hon, Gentleman opposite, which, be contended, was wholly inadequate as a remedy for the defects of Welsh Judicature. He could not help thinking that his Hon. Friend ( Mr. Allen) had been ill used. Mr PEEL said, he should he extremely sorry if be were a pat ty to any proceeding that was deficient in courtesy ; but in fact there was no want of courtesy in this case. The House was counted, because a difference of opinion existed, as to proceeding with the debate at the moment, or agreeing with the proposition of an Hon. Member ( Mr. M. A. TftyW), who proposed that it should be adjourned for a fortnight. Had that question gone to a division, the result must have been precisely the same; and therefoie ii was, that, to save time, the House was counted. Mr. DEN'MAN said, there were two qrtcstions con- nected with the subject— one was, whether the judi- cature of Wales, as it now existed, ought not to be wholly altered : the other, whether palliatives, or middle remedies, should not be adopted. Now, by the course which had heen taken, the former question had been got rid of; and he must say, an unfair ad vantage had been seized, in order to favour the present Bill The ATTORNEY- GENERAL thought it would be better if the Learned Gentleman deferred giving an opinion on the Bill until it. was fairly before the House. The Bill, il would be found, was calculated to cure the defects in the judicature of Wales, which the last and the former Committee had pointed out. His Learned Friend ( Mr. Jones) had given notice, that he intended the Bill should stand over till next Session, when the Hon. Member for Pembroke might, if he pleased, move the re- appointment of the Com- mittee. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. Numerous Petitions were presented from different quarters against the Roman Catholic Peers' Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. An immense number of Petitions were presented against the Poor Removal Bill ; after which Mr. GRENFELL took the opportunity of presenting a pe- tition from some Gentlemen of Berkshire, against the renewal of the Bank Charter, to repeat his charges against the Bank of England, which, be said, notwithstanding its annual dividends irf seven per cent, had realised to the auiouut of 25 millions within as many years. POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. SCARLETT moved the second reading of his bill, forbidding the compulsory removal of paupers ( a copy of which will be found in' our 4th page), this bill, it will he recollected, formed part of a system which the learned gentleman proposed last session to substitute for the existing code of Poor Laws. Mr. Scarlett de- tailed at length the hardships which the liability to removal imposed upon ihe poor ; and adverted to the enormous expense thrown upon the public by re- movals, and ihe consequent litigation of contested settlements.— The motion was opposed by Messrs. MONCK., NOLAN, and COURTKNAY, and several other gentlemen, on the ground that it would throw nn undue share ofthe poor's rates upon the large towns, and directly tend to depopulate the country.— The Bill was ultimately thrown out by a majority of 82 tu 6 ® . LEATHER TAX. Mr. COURTENAY presented a Petition from certain tanners and curriers of the county of Devon, praying that the partial repeal of the Leather Tax proposed by Ministers might not be carried into effect, on the ground that such a proceeding would only augment the profits of large capitalists, without affording any benefit to the nation at large. Mr. BEAUMONT opposed the prayer of tbe Petition, and presented one from the tanners of Hexham, in Northumberland, praying for the repeal of the Leather Tax. Mr. CHETWYNDE, in presenting a similar Petition from the tanners of Staffordshire, declared that he did not look to the repeal of any particular tax for the restoration of ease anil prosperity to the country. In fact, the question of agricultural distress was coming very fast to a question between landlord and tenant : the true source of the evil was the heavy rent; aud that rent must be abated— not 10 or 15 per cent, bnt seriously and effectively reduced, be- fore any really beneficial change could be expected. DISTRESSES IN IRELAND. The papers and letters received this morning from Ireland give the most melancholy accounts of tiie sufferings of the miserable peasantry, ' Fhe GENERAL COMMITTEE of RELIEF, sitting in Dublin, have published a report on the state of the county of Cork, the general principles of which apply to the other distressed districts. The report recites many eases of actual famine, aud of the most heart rending distress. The following is an extract from this affecting document:— 41 In some placesthc poor have not had any potatoes for a month or six weeks; oaten meal with water is their best food, or flour, of a very inferior description, worked up into a dry. unpalatable sort of cake. & very many CAN ONLY PROCURE THE. POLARD OR REFUSE, OF THE MILLS, HERETOFORE ONLY BOUGHT FOR HOGS The most extensive farmers in the parish near Mill Street cannot afford to pay their labourers as they used to do iti other years, from the low prices of butter, cattle, pigs, & c. and from not having any of their corn Crops of last year to pay their March and May rents and county charges; so that the poor colter cannot obtain wages either to proeur- e food or to cover the very indecent nakedness of himself and his family. Many gladly work for food without hire, or auy provisions to take home to their wives and children; the consequence is, MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ARE ALMOST ALL NAKED, and wander about the county BEGGING, and almost starving, carrying and circulating contagion in all quarters. Some of the men also are forced to take their packs on tlieir hacks, and even decent farmers are glad to receive gratuitous allowance. The influx to the foyuts and villages is very considerable, numbers having gone to England to seek for work, and left theii'families behind them, The Secretaries of the Committee at Clonakilty state, that in that, town there is a population of near 5.000. that the adjacent districts are also extremely populous, and the scenes of misery and famine that 1 pervade them are quite appalling; although the ! subscriptions enable them It) give work to 120 1 labourers, yet thousands on thousands remain unem- I ployed, though all are desirous to labour, and this hourly increasing misery must ultimately compel them to distribute provisions gratuitously, as many have not tasted food from 30 to 40 hours ; in Skib- bereen thousands have not a morsel to eal." A Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the poor in the county of Mayo, have made a long and minute report, which concludes as follows: " The Rev. J. Seymour, Rector of Ballaghader- rine, and Chairman of a local Committee formed in that town, in his letter dated May 22, states— VNo pen can describe the state of misery and despair to which the unfortunate victims of starvation are d riven.' 44 The Rev. W R. Smith, Minister nf Casllebar, and one of the Secretaries to the local fund of that town, writes, May 21,—' The misery of the poor here is hourly increasing. A family last week, in their last extremity, seized on a sheep in a neighbouring field, killed it, and devoured part, and carried the remainder to the owner. A similar case occurred this week, with regard to a pig. T have, myspJf seen several persons falling down, faint through weakness, for want of food. Our local subscription, lite fust entered into in the county, bas already amounted fo above £ 220, and out of tbis scanty fund vve give relief to above 2000 famishing souls, at the rale of half a pound of meal per day, and that sold at the third of what vve buy it for; but even this, J do most solemnly, as aClergyman, declare, does not give relief to the one- tenth of the misery that hourly presents . itself to, our view.' " In concluding this heart- rending Report, and in order, to furnish all the alleviation of such frightful miseries that this Committee can provide, vve beg leave most respectfully to suggest and to urge, that the largest contribution that your funds could afford, be forthwith remitted to the county of Mayo, in such sums as will ensure the most beneficial distribution. For ice declare it in the most, solemn manner, to be our conscientious conviction, founded upon the dili- gent. perusal of the communications of your Cor- respondents, that ice UNDERRATE the extent of the calamity when we estimate that not less than SEVENTY THOUSAND of our fellow- ereatures, inhabitants of the countv of Mayo, being less than a fourth of its popu- lation, are utterly destitute of food or the means of obtaining it. That, a large portion of tiiat. number has been iu that deplorable, condition of depend- ence upon public benevolence for more than a month past, and that the entire number must eon. tinue thus dependant for eight weeks to come at the least; at the same time that many thousands of them are pining away under the grievous aggravation of malignant diseases." Notice is given from the Lord Chamberlain's OfRce that ihe King will hold a Levee ou the 12th of next mouth, and a Drawing Room on the 13th. The Annual Festival, in commemoration of the Birth of the late Right Hon. William Pitt, was cele- brated on Tuesday at the City of London Tavern. The Duke of Wellington, ' he Lord Chancellor, Lord Viscount Sidinouth, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, / and many other Noblemen and persons of high dis- tinction, were present. BANKRUPTS, JUNE 1.— James Harman, of Lower Thames- street, London, merchant.— Thomas Kelson, late of Lyucouibe and Widcome, Somersetshire, inn- holder, since of Combe Down, Monkfou Combe, Somersetshire, farmer St coal- merehant.-- John.

Corlile's shopman, " the nameless man," was on Monday tried at the Old Bailey for publishing a blasphemous and seditious libel, and being found guilty, was sentenced by Mr. Common Sergeant Denman, who tried him, to eighteen months' con- finement in Coldbaih- iields prison, and to enter into sureties, himself in £ 100, and two others in £ 25 each, to be of good behaviour for Jive years.— He produced 110 witnesses in his defence*, but proceeded to read a long paper full of reflections upon Govern- ment , as well as upon the Scriptures, which he de- signated as " obscene." To such a dreadful height were the remarks of this wretch carried, that, at the instance of the Counsel for the prosecution, all females and youths were directed to leave the Court. POSTSCRIPT, London, Monday Night, June 3. There is a panic to- day among the jobbers in foreign stocks. The Russian Loan, which was 83 and 84 on Friday aud Saturday, is to day Si . Colombian and Spanish Bouds have, also, it is reported, fatten very considerably. The English Funds remain steady : Consols for Account, 79$ 80. Letters were this morning received from Odessa to the 6th, and froth St. Petersblirgh to the 10th ult. At the latter the Exchange was quoted higher, and no fear as to hostilities with Turkey was en- tertained. per Cent. 89.- 4 per Cents. 04 j, A letter from the Archbishop of Tuam, to tbe secretaries at Liverpool, says, 41 I pray the relief of your benevolent committee to the perishing popula lion of this town and immediate neighbourhood. Our distressed state is truly deplorable, and I have the same to report of almost the whole province of Connaught, over which, as Metropolitan, I. preside. I am appalled at the conviction that many must die from actual hunger, and . many more from the effects of bad, scanty, unwholesome, unnutritious food." A letter from a gentleman of Sligo, now at Dublin, says, 41 I a in ihduced to address myself to you 011 behalf of tbe poor in the town and neighbour- hood of Sligo, where not only famine, but disease prevails to an alarming extent, and where it is com- puted, that upwards of 7000 persons will be for some months depending on public bounty for the means of existence. I had a letter from Sligo this morning, which represents, on the reportof visiting committees, the misery greater than those who were best acquaint- ed with the situation of the poor could have possibly conceived. My friend says, at their second public meeting, the county court- house where if was held, was nearly filled with poor persons piteouslySquir- ing- . what was to be done for them : it was an affecting sight. He calculates on o£ 600 being got, which, under present circumstances, is a large sum for Sligo. The committee are going prudently to work : tliey are giving out seed potatoes on credit, and finding work for the poor at reduced rates. Any assistance your committee can afford, will be most acceptable, aud will be gratefully acknowledged." The subscriptions reported as received by the London General Committee at pre eat exceed £ 66,300. Among the least ostentations donations in favour of the Irish poor is that of Mrs, Palmer, of West Mousley, Surrey, who has directed her agent in Ireland to distribute/ t/ Veerc hundred pounds amongst the cottagers 011 lier estates in the county of Mayo. The Dress Ball towards the relief of the distressed inhabitants of Ireland took place 011 Thursday night, at fhe King's Theatre, which on this occasion was lilted up with much taste and splendour. The pit and stage were formed into a grand saloon, at one end of which was placed the Royal box, fitted up in a style of the greatest splendour— a canopy extend- ing several yards at either side of the box, presented the idea of a tent of large dimensions, al the top of which was placed a magnificent, crown. In the centre the Royal Arms were emblazoned. Under the canopy were placed not only the box in which his Majesty sal, hut several others, occupied by the Prince and Princess of Denmark, and by different members of the Royal Family. Soon after nine o'clock the company began to assemble ; owing to the vast number of carriages, tbe principal avenues to the theatre were literally blocked up, and it was with considerable difficulty, and not without danger, that no inconsiderable part of the company , were able to reach the place of their destination. A little after half past fen o'clock his Majesty entered the theatre; he was accompanied by the usual Lords of his Household and Officers in Waiting, by his Royal Highness the Duke of York and bis Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the benevolent Patron of the Ball. His Majesty was dressed in the uniform of a Field Marshal, and looked extremely well. On bis en- trance, the national anthem of 44 God save the King" was struck up, followed by 44 Patrick's Day. At that moment every part of the theatre was crowded to excess ; not a single box was unoccupied, and the saloon from one end to ihe other wasli$ qrally crammed. The ladies composing the majority of the company were dressed in robes of white, tastefully adorned with shamrock; head- dress, feathers and diamonds. The entertainments commenced by Vestris and Volet, two of the Corps- de liallet, appearing iu the space before the pavilion, wheu the gavotte of the Minuet de- la Cour was performed. Then followed, al some slight intervals, a quadrille by all the prin- cipal dancers of the theatre, a pas de deux, and a repetition of the gavotte by Paul and Mercandotti.— Refreshments were amply provided in temporary halls, covered in from tbe arcade. His Majesty did not retire until near two o'clock. The Countess of Jersey lost a diamond cross, said to be worth at least £ 11) 00, as she was returning from the bull al the Opera- house on Thursday night. HOUSE OF LORDS- MONDAY. A great many petitions were presented from different places against the Catholic Peers' Bill, all of which were laid on the table without discussion. HOUSE OF COM MONS- MONDAY. Mr. COKE presented a petition aud remonstrance from certain owners and occupiers of laird in the Hundred of North Greenhoe, in the County of Nor- folk. The Petitioners expressed their conviction, that to expect relief from the House of Commons in its- present form was vain ; aud indeed he,( Mr. Coke), when he recollected how tlie House had gone ou from year to year, supporting, measures which had brought ruin on themselves and the country, was almost ashamed of having a seat in it. He was hot present the other night, when Ministers were cheered and complimented on what tbev bad done to- relieve the people : if he had been present, he should not have joined in those cheers, or paid any compliments to Ministers, who had done nothing but what- they bad heen forced into; and instead of relief, in his opinion, what they had done was an insult to the country. He concluded by moving lhat the petition should he read. The petition was then read, and imputed the distresses of the country to the excessive weight of taxation, and, alluding to the House of Commons, said ii was composed of a majority al ways ready to support any administration, however cor- rupt, and in any measures calculated to break tbe spirit of the people. The petition Contained other strong comments 011 the House aud its conduct. Mr. FREMANTLE objected to tbe petition being received, as containing gross reflections on the cha- racter of the House ; and moved, as an amendment, tbat the petition be rejected. Mr. CURWEN supported the petition. He feared the conduct of the House justified the comments of the petitioners. Mr. JAMES thought there was but one mistake in the petit ion, — that was ' when the petitioners imputed the conduct of the House to tlie influence of the Crown : to say this he considered treasonable. If was not the influence of the Crown, but the Borough Faction, tie should support . tiie petiiisn I; ting received. Sir J. NEWPORT wished the petition should be read ^ gain. ' j'his was accordingly done. Lord LONDONDERRY was extremely loth to reject any petition ; but the House must, for the good of the country, support its own dignity ; and though it would give him great pain, he vvouid vote for its rejection. Mr. CALCRAFT had beard the Noble Lord's objec- tion and tbe moderate tone in which it was made, but he was convinced the Noble Lord felt tbe weak- ness of his objection. What was there in this petition which could be denied ? Had it not been stated by Ministers themselves that taxation was. excessive, that unnecessary places were kept up for no other purpose than to give influence to Ministers. Could any one deny . that Peers were in many instances nominees, and that many members sat for close boroughs instead of representing the people. There was but one opinion expressed by the petitioners in which lie could not agree with them, that was the observation relative to the army. He could not fto. so far as to say that the army was kept up only with a view to overthrow the Government aud to enslave the people He was ready to allow the army was exceedingly large for a period of peace, but lie had agreed to keeping up such a force under the persua- sion that tiie disturbed state of Ireland called for it. Still he did. not think the present petition should be si ejected, Sir R. WILSON defended the language of the peti- tion. It was notorious tbat places were given to influence votes, and that scats in the House were bough and sold. Mr. C. W. W. WYNN was convinced the object of the petitioners was to insult the House. It was neces- sary the House should make a stand somewhere, and, convinced of the intention of these petitioners, he would make his stand here. Sir J. NEWPORT thought many of the assertions of these petitioners were well founded, and in these times of difficulty and public distresss the House ought uot to look so nicely to the language in which petitions were couched. In his opinion the House would best consult its dignity by receiving the petition now under consideration. Mr. Secretary PEEL objected to this petition not only from the terms in which it was drawn up, but on account of its varying in form from, petitions usually presented to the House. He was sorry to oppose any petition. It was with pain he urged its rejection, but coupling its language with the word remonstrance, be felt it as his imperative duty to check the One notr under consideration.

DISTRESS OF THE IRISH POOR— We have the pleasure of stating', that the sum of £ 500, part of the subscription raised in this town and its vicinity, was last week transmitted, by. the Mayor, to the Dublin Committee, to be by them applied in alleviating the distress with which several dis- tricts of Ireland are so heavily afflicted.— It is hoped and believed, that the generous manner in which the Shrewsbury Fund has been aided by many of the gentry and landed proprietors of tbe County, and by the liberality of the town of Whitchurch, the parish of Roddiugton, & c. will be followed by a similar spirit in other individuals, towns, and parishes, so that the next remittance may tend further to she^ v to the inhabitants of Ireland how great an interest this Town and County take in forwarding at all times the pro- sperity of the Sister Kingdom, and how deeply they feel, and how anxious they are to alleviate, the misery with which she is at present visited. Our paper of this day contains some appalling details of the rapid progress of famine, disease, and death in many parts of Ireland; and these details unhappily, so far from proving former statements to have been exaggerated, clearly shew that all preceding accounts have been much under- rated, The particulars we have extracted might have been multiplied in almost a tenfold degree, but the quantum of helpless misery and wretchedness they exhibit is surely sufficient to call forth the commiseration and assistance of the most in sensible.

Last week, at a very advanced age, Mrs. Brazenor, relict of the late Mr. Samuel Brazenor, of Farley, near Pontesbury, in this county. The credit acquired by the young gentlemen of the above celebrated School forthe manner in which they acquitted themselves on the revival of the Public Speeches last summer, excited a considerable degree of interest amongst the most respectable classes of society in the town and neighbourhood, to have the pleasure of witnessing their performances this year, which took place yesterday, according to the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Butler, w ho, on this occasion, in the most liberal manner dispensed with the necessity of tickets, and extended the admission to all who felt an interest in, or were desirous of, attending. The company consequently was very numerous and highly respectable, and the gratifi- cation they experienced was feelingly evinced at the conclusion of the respective speeches, which were delivered in a manner suited to the characters they individually represented, and with a chasteness and, judgment that reflect the greatest credit upon themselves, as well as upon those by whose instruc- tions, it was evident they had so much benefitted 1 and we doubt not, from the ability displayed on this as well as on the former occasion, that the 44 Scholars from the Shrewsbury School" will, on their respect- ive admissions at the Universities, continue to main- tain that pre- eminence in the scale of talent which they have long borne, in comparison with other schools, as the numerous prizes obtained by them, and at various times recorded in our Journal, strik- ingly show. The following is a list of the young gentlemen, with the speeches, & c. they respectively delivered. 1 PEILE. Cicero's Defence of Polite Literature.— Cic. ' Pro A/ chta. 2 BUTTERTON.

[ FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] Our readers will recollect that a cause between Samuel A. Severne, Esq„ and Mr. Geo. Bishton, for bad husbandry, in excessive ploughing and tilling upon three extensive farms of Mr. Severne's, at Wallop, in the year previous to Mr. Bishton's quitting pursuant to a notice, and for wilfully damaging the fixtures in and about the houses and Outbuildings at the time of quitting, came on to be tried at our last Assizes before a Special Jury, when a Verdict was taken for Mr. Severne, subject to the award of Mr. Serjeant Peake- 7- We under- stand the Serjeant has made his award in favour of Mr. Severne, and ordered Mr. Bishton to pay £ 350 for damages, and all the costs of the suit.— This is a lesson for refractory ofF- going tenants, and will convince them that the law will punish tW bad husbandry although there is no agreement for management.

Lord Forester took the oath? and his seat in the House of Peers oil Thursday last.— His Lordship was introduced by Lords Ra- vensworth and Maryborough. CAUTION.— On Tuesday, tbe 28th ult. a young man, very genteelly dressed, came to the Sun Tavern, in this town, and enquired if he could be accommodated there for a few days ; his appear- ance being iu his favour, he was answered iu the affirmative. Soon afterwards, a gentleman from Wellington came into the house, who recognized him as a person who had been preying upon the public, aud he gave Mrs. Gee ( the landlady) a caution npon the subject; in consequence, the stranger was told that he must pay for his accom- modation as the refreshments, & c. were furnished to him, and he accordingly did so until Thursday morning last: he had then only his breakfast and bed to pay for, when he told Mrs. Gee he was going to take a walk, that he should be back in a short time, and had left his parcel in the room : on examination, a parcel wrapped in brown paper was accordingly found. iVk,>, hovF. cr, the chamber- maid went to make his bed, she missed one or the sheets; and on examining the parcel, which was closely packed, sealed, and directed " J. Pilking- ton," the missing sheet formed the whole contents ! The stranger did not again make his appearance.— It appears that he was the same individual who, about two years ago, pretending to be deaf and dumb, imposed on the hospitality and benevolence of the late Rector of Frodcsley. Since which period he has been traversing the country, subsisting upon the sums of money, & c. which he could obtain by defrauding the benevolent; sometimes passing as a quaker, of the name of Binns, of Crawshaw Booth, near Haslingden, Lancashire; at others, pretending to be the son of a Clergyman at Haslingden, named Philtres ; in various places he affected to be deaf and dumb, and he avoided with great dexterity all attempts to put him off his guard by making sudden noises, & c.; his success 011 these occasions convinced many that he was uot an impostor, and of course obtained for him the funds he solicited ! He has latterly been exercising his deceptive talents in Birmingham, Worcester, See. His real name is John Pilkington, and he lived some time wilh an uncle at Haslingdcu, so that he describes that place and its vicinity accurately. He is about 21 years of age, of slender make, about 5 feet 8 inches high, rather fair complexion, light brown hair and whiskers, genteel in his appearance, and polite aud insinuating ill his deportment. WKNLOCK.— The anniversary of the birth of the Heir of Wynnstay was celebrated on the 22d ult. by the ringing of bells, filing of cannon, bonfires, and other demonstrations of enthusiasm. A large and respectable party dined at the Crown Inn; and a quantity of ale was distributed to the I populace. C. It. Hlundell, Esq. of Inco, Cheshire, returned 30 per cent, to his tenants on their last half year's payment of rent. NOTICE is hereby given, that on the 31st Day of May, 1822, an Order was signed by WIR.

Anne, wife of Bell Lloyd, Esq. of Crogen, in the county of Merioneth, and sister of the late Lord Viscount Anson. On the 10th inst. at The Cwm, near Llandriudod Wells, in the county of Radnor, after a long illness. John Williams, Esq.; a gentleman much respected in his neighbourhood. Lately, greatly esteemed and respected, aged 74, the Rev. Mr. Roberts, Rector of Llanengan, inthe county V) f Carnarvon. On the 27th ult. at the King's Arms Inn, Holywell, in the 48th year of his age, Alexander Greet, Esq. formerly Commander of the Success, and Cheerful, Revenue Cruizers, afterwards Inspecting Commander of the Preventive Water- Guard, at Dnnsanaghv, in Ireland ; leaving a widow and a numerous young family to bewail his unexpected, untimely death, and, to them, irreparable loss.— This melancholy event was occasioned by the overturning of the Chester Mail ( by which the deceased vvas an outside passenger j from Liverpool to Beaumaris), on the 22( 1 ult. at Halkin, near Holywell. In the long account, inserted in our last, of tbe Cvmmrodorion Eisteddvod, which was forwarded to us by a London correspondent, it was staled that Mr. Thomas Jones was the author of a Poem, signed " Awen ap Gwyddon," to which the Prize was awarded.— This is an error; the subject of that Poem was " Hu Gadarn," and its author was the Rev. E Hughes, of Bodvari, near Denbigh. On Saturday last, the Rev. John Jones, the highly respected Vicar of Holywell, with a number of gen- tlemen, commenced a subscription for the relief of the Irish, and it is hoped the rest of the Princi- pally wiil immediately follow their example. The Rev, David Jones, of Llanddoget, has beeu licensed by the Lord Bishop of Bangor, to the Per. petual Curacy of Bettwsy Cued, near Llanrwst; and the Rev. W. Anwyl Roberts, of Oakjands, upon the nomination of Sir R. W. Vanghan. Bart, has heen licensed to the Perpetual Curacy of Penmachno, both void bv the death of the ' ate Rev. E. . Davies. On the 16th ult. a farmer, in the vicinity of Nevveastie- Emlyn, Cardiganshire, compromised an Exchequer prosecution tor clandestinely making Malt and Candles, by paying £ 500 and costs; the costs, it is supposed, will amount to nearly £ 200. A letter from Abergavenny, dated Saturday night, says, " We are sorry to observe the deser- tion of farms still continues in Monmouthshire, for on Monday night last, one of the largest farmers in the neighbourhood of Abergavenny, conveyed away, in tbe most mysterious manner, ail his live stock, which was considered very extensive and of the first- rate quality, with nearly the whole of his dead- stock, the principal part of his furniture, & c. aiid has not since been heard of. The injury this kind of conduct does in the neighbourhood is incalcula- ble, as it destroys all confidence between landlord and tenant. 1 1 2 2 3 3 0 dr 0 dr CYMMRODORION. An account of the Cymmvodorion Eisteddvod, held in London, on the 221 ult. appeared in our last Journal. The following English verses, by Mrs, Hemans, were recited on that occasion. Where met our Bards of old— the glorious throng, They of the mountain and the battle song ? They met— Oh, not in kingly hall or tower, But where wild Nature girt herself with power ; They met— where streams flash'd bright from rocky caves, They met— where woods made moan o'er warriors' graves, And where the torrent's rainbow- spray was cast, And where dark lakes were heuving to the blast; And midst th' eternal cliffs, w,\ c, se strength defied The crested Roman in his hounp/ pride ; And where the Carnedd on its Finely hill Bore silent record of the mighty still ; And where the Druid's ancient Cromlech frown'd, And the oaks breath'd mysterious murmurs round. There throng'd the inspir'd of yore— on plain or height, 44 In the Sun's face, beneath the eye of light,"* And, baring unto hravea each noble head, Stood in the circle where none else might, tread- Well migbt their lays be lofty ! soaring thought From Nature's presence tenfold grandeur caught: Well might bold Freedom's soul pervade the strains, Which started eagles from their lone domains. Whence eatne the echoes to those numbers high ? ' Twas from the battle- fields of days gone by ;— And from the tombs of heroes laid to rest, With their good swords, upon the mountain's breast; And from the watch- towers, on the heights of snow, Sever'd by clouds and storm from all below ; And the turf- mounds, once girt by ruddy spears, And the rock- altars of departed years. Thence, deeply mingling with the torrent's roar, The winds a thousand wild responses bore; And the gr. een hind, whose every vale and glen Doth shrine the memory of heroic men, On all her hills awakening to rejoice, Sent forth proud answers to her children's voice. For ns,— not ours the festival to hold ' Midst the stone- circles hallowed thus of old ; Not where great Nature's majesty and might First broke all- glorious on our wond'ring sight; Not near the tombs, where sleep our free and brave, Not near the mountain llyn, the ocean wave. In these last days we meet,— dark Mona's shore, Eryri's cliffs, resound with harps no more ; But as the stream ( tho' time or art may turn The torrent bursting from its cavern'd urn, To the soft vales of pastures and of flowers, From Alpine glens and awful forest bowers,) Alike in rushing strength, or sunny sleep, Holds on its course, to mingle with the deep; Thus, tho'our paths be cbaug'd, still warm and free, Land of the Bard, our spirit flies to thee, To thee our thoughts, our hopes, our hearts belong, Our dreams are haunted by thy voice of song ; Nor yield our souls one patriot feeling less To the green memory of thy loveliness, Than theirs, whose harp- notes peai'd from every height * 4 In the Sun's face, beneath the eye of light." * This is a literal translation of the Bardic ex- pression, u Yn. uiyneb haul a. llygad goleuniy MANCHESTER RACES, 1822.

VV ROXETER. The number of the CAMIJRO- BRITON just published contains an original letter from the celebrated GOROJIWY OWEN, dated Donning- ton, Dec. 6, 1752 ; of which the following is an extract:— 44 We have here, hi this parish of Wroxeter, some very curious pieces of antiquity lately found. They are three, Bpiuah Monuments, set up ( as appears by the inscriptions, which are very plain and legible, and the stones entire) about the time of Vespasian. One beings- for" one Gaius Mannius, a praetorian legate of tlift 20th Region ; and another for Marcus Pet'- onius, an ensigu or standard- bearer of the 19th legion — N. B. Wroxeter wos once one of the finest cities ih Britain ( though now but a poor village), as appears by the ruinS of it, that are now to be seen, and are daily more and more discovered, and the vast number of Roman coins, that are yearly and daily found, in it. It was called by. the Romans Vriconium and Viroconium ( perhaps from Gorygawn or Gwrogion), and probably destroyed by the Saxons.; , for we have here a tradition that it was set on fire by a flight of sparrows that had matches tied to their tails for that purpose hy the enemy." On the above extract, the Editor of the Cambro- Briton adds the following note:— 41 The ancient Uriconium, now Wroxeter, in Shropshire, was the capital of the Cornavii. In the Catalogues of Bp. Usher and Dr. T. Williams, it is called Caer Wngion, and is, no doubt, to lie identi- fied with Caer Gwrgon in the Triads of the Isle of Britain. Llywarch Hen, who spent a portion of his life in Powis, has the following allusion to this ancient city under the Saxon name of Wrecon. Nen'r syllais o d din lie Vrccon, FreueV werydre ; Hiraelh am dammhortb brodyrdde? Have I not gajed from the high city of Wrecon, The region of Frener ; Wilh longing for the guardian of the Commonwealth? Elegy on Cynddi/ lan. This name of Wrecon is still retained in the Wrekin Hills in the vicinity.'* It is generally calculated that a majority amount- ing, somesay to 30, others to 50, will defeat the bill for the admission of Roman - Catholic Peers into the upper house of parliament. At the head of these, it is understood, is his Royal Highness the Duke of York, AGRICULTURAL HORSE TAX.— Robert Price' Esq. M. P. for Herefordshire, some time since sent in a memorial to the Treasury, requesting the repeal of the Act of Parliament which renders farmers who haul for hire, butchers, millers, & c. liable to the duty of one guinea for each horse employed by them: and to the same quarter he has made an application for the repeal of the Act which renders the farmer, renting from £ 70 to £ 200 per annum, liable to the duty of £ 2. 17s. 6d. for the Husbandry Horse he occasionally uses in riding. We fear that with respect to the first- mentioned Act of Parliament, there is but little expectation of its immediate repeal; though wc understand there is likely to be some relaxation of the existing regulations. Wilh regard to the other Act, there have been several applications made by different members of the House of Com- mons to the Government on tlie subject; and Mr. Lushington, the Secretary to the Treasury, has given notice of his intention to introduce a bill to prevent the bad consequences which would other- wise so unexpectedly have been occasioned by the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, and an order has been issued from the Tax Office not to charge any Husbandry Horses occasionally used for riding, which, under tbe Act of 56 Geo. 3, would have been exempted from the Riding Horse Duty. MONMOUTH.— The Fair which took place here on Tuesday last, gave no new hopes to the Agri- culturists. There were not any fat cattle worth notice, and the shew of lean stock was very small, but they went off at an advance of about ten per Cent. There were more fat sheep than for some years, which sold from 3d. to 3fd. per lb. sinking the offal. There were also but few pigs, and those sold at very low prices. Good horses went off readily, at an advance of price ; but no demand for those of inferior quality. Birmingham Wbitsun fair, last week, favoured by Ihe remarkable fineness of the weather, was unusually well attended, and a rich harvest was no doubt gathered, by those wbo provided for the amusement of the holiday folks.— There was a tolerably good supply of fat cattle and sheep, but the sale of both were very dull. The best quality of beef did not fetch more lhan 4jd. per lb. and mutton 3d* There were more pigs driven into town than the market place would hold, but only few buyers presented themselves.—- The number of horses of an inferior description was great, and but few were sold; good hacks and machincrs were sold briskly and well. AN IMPOSTOR.— The Bath Gazette says-" On Friday, William Clark* Esq. Mayor of this city, committed to our gaoly to hard labour for one month, as a rogue and vagabond, the 4' Reverend Charles Rogers Bond/' This man$ who is well known in this city and its vicinity for his affinity to the once- celebrated u Green- eyed Monster," and to the 44 infallible Dr. Gamble," the sham proprietor of the " Sanative Tea," and that phe- nomenon the Invisible Girl, as well as for his periodical visits; has been in the habit for many years of intruding himself into the houses of the Nobility and Gentry in the assumed character of a Clergyman, under the pretence of collecting alms for the counterfeit purpose of relieving and sup- porting tbe family of a distressed Baronet; and so oily was his address, and so unconquerable bis pertinacity in pressing his suit, that he seldom failed in effecting his object, either by working upon the charitable feelings of his victims, or by tiring out their patience. This is fully proved by the memoranda, of his pocket- book, which con- tained a lilt of coatributions amounting to nearly £ 300! GRAND REVIEW, GRAND REVIEW AT HOUNSI.

An immense area was kept elear of carrinjyes by the Of 11 Lancers wbo kept the ground.— Shortly before twelve, his' Royal Highness the Commander- in- Chief, accom- panied by bis Grace the Duke of U'ellimriou and bv a fe w ot lie r officers- of distinction, arrived, and rode slowly on the ground. His Majesty was not present in consequence of a slight ; » t<• k pf gout.— The Prince and Princess of Denmark arrived on the ground in a plain private carriage.

Late Dreadful Accident on Chester Race- Course. A writer in the Sporting Magazine, under the signature of " KLMITOD," after noticing the late melancholy accident tin the Chester Course, by which William Dunn lost his life, says— " A fatality attends Chester Race Course ; for scarcely a meeting passes but some accident bikes place. Your readers must reinet'nber that Lord Stamford's rider was killed on the' spot onlv three years ago: nu'd had it not been that the poor man who has now lost bis life upon it, eased bis horse, and " let liim in" ( as' tbey say), Harrv Arthur would have heen dashed to pieces against the post at trie Castle- turu last year, w hich I myself witnessed. As it was, lie was so much injured, ns not. to be able to ride for Sir Tbotnns Mostyn ( his first master) for the rest of the week. This turn has been eased, but is still a very bad one; it is to the left hand, vciv near home, and just where the strongest running is made. Some years ago, I witnessed such an accident nt this turn as w ill never be witnessed again, bv which a most valuable colt lost his life, and a Captain cf Dragoons bail such an escape for his, that seldom falls lo the lot of any man. There is something sympathetic, as well as marvellous, in tbe cireuml stances attending it. A coil culled " Hair- breadih, by Escape," tbe property of Mr. Locklev, was winning his race cleverly ; bul in coming around Ibis Castle- turu, he bolted— jumped over Ihe cords and knocked down Captain ( now Sir John) Miller, of tbe Cornwall Fencible Cavalry, then quartered at Chester, who was riding oil the course, in bis uniform; nnd, strange to say, the penk of bis helmet, whilst on his head, entered the brain of Hair- breadth, by Escape, and killed hiin on the spot— whilst the only injury the Captain received was a pair of black eyes, and I saw him at Ihe ball III the evening.—- Hair- breadth was a verv promising colt, and the lale Duke of Leeds bad oficied Mr. Lockley 400gs. fdr liitn before starting. " Another most extraordinary circumstance con- nected with accidents on a race- course, took place at Knighton [ in Radnorshire]. A gentleman was ridinn' a very hard- pulling horse for the Hunters' Sinker, wheu one of liis brothers went to a particular turn on the course to see bow he got around it, being appre- hensive for bis safety. Just ns lite hor » ' es were coming up, a drunken fellow rode against him, and pushed hiin, horse nnd nil, into ihe course, exactly before bis brother, who tumbled over him, aud ail were down together. Another brother, who was on the course, and witnessed the accident, set spurs to his horse tu get to their assistance, when be ran away with him, in the exact direction where bis other two brothers lav, and tumbled over tlieui, making three men, and three horses, nil down at the same lime- and llie only had consequences were, a few bruises' aud one of the horses dislocating his shoulder. " One of tl. e most distressing accidents which I ever witnessed on a race- cotirse, wiis the year before last, at Cheltenham, ns it was occasioned bv, appa- rently, wilful neglect of one of ihe course- keepers. As the horses were coining iu, a mare of Mr. it' Jones's was last ; and before she bad passed llie rope, Ihe fellow pulled it up, and gave her a tre- mendous fall. The boy who rode her pitched on his head, and his life was'despaired of for several days, — nor will be ever recover it. This is one of the many instances of Ihe necessity of em ploy ing persons, in all situations about a race- course, wiio know something about racing, as, in that case, they wonlil always look out for a horse that was shut nut, or beaten a long way from home ; and there are always sucb persons to be found. Accidents of this nature lend materially to dump the pleasure of a meeting ; aud human life should not be put to the risk, vvheiMt can bp avoided. No course that I was ever on is so well kept as Manchester. I have ridden over it amongst a hundred thousand spectators, and nothing can be better than the clear way for the race horses! and the good humour of tbe people. To return? however, to poor Dunn. " William Dunn lived wilh Lord Grosvenor pre- vious lo his being engaged by Mr. Mvtton, in whose service he succeeded Maurice Juries, the summer Ire fore last, as trainer, and rider, at a salary of £'•>()() per annum. His stables were at Delainere Forest, in Cheshire, and his training ground about as good as that country affords. As Mr. Mytton had generally teuor twelve horses iu bis hands, Dunn would, nil doubt, have been snon enabled to make it pro-. isioit for bis family ; and it is melancholy to think of the sad loss they have sustained. In Mr. Milton, how- ever, they will find a good friend and benefactor. " Dunn will be a great loss tn bis master. He was a good judge of his business, and seemed to have his employer's interest al heart, lie had another good quality— be was not apt to be too fond of his horses. They were not all gaotl ones, ns some of his profession make them npppar to he before tliey meet with better. Dnnn was a rider of the first class. His nerve was very good in a crowd, and he was particu- larly clever at a start. Although Dunn was u fine y horseman, be bad a curious and rather unsightly wu of holding his rein, which was— over- handed. !!„ also sal very back on his horse, aud had a long pull at bis bridle. Nevertheless, he had, altogether, a very jockey- like appearance His nice, however, is run, and I have reason lo believe that liis loss will be much felt by his master. Let then the death of Will Dunn be borne in mind by all who have the manage, ment of race- courses, nnd let it induce them to taHe all possible care to preserve the tires of those who risk them for our pleasure, and our profit On Tuesday, an inquest was taken at Aldrainster, on Mr. John Bonrton, of Sherrington, corn dealer, who about three o'clock 011 Saturday nioruiqg was found dead in Ihe turnpike road from Stratford to Banbury, near Guldicott, with a Violent contusion on the back of the head, from which it was at first inferred he had been way- laid 011 his road from Stratford market, but a large silin in notes and other property being on his person, the Jury were of opinion that he was thrown from his horse, it being found at a short distance, grazing, with the bridle rein oyer the head.— Verdict— Accidental Death. Laudanum.— A few days since, at Sheptort- . Mallet, a pcrsou in a fit of jealousy took a large phial of laudanum. The effect was violent; but medical assistance was immediately resorted to. Mr. Surgeon Mynes with difficulty administered the strongest antidote lo that poisonous drug, viz, a large portion of citric acid ( lemon juice), with nearly 20 grains of lartarised antimony and ela- tei- eurn ( extract of wild cucumber); which actcd iustantly oil- the stomach and bowels, and the patient was restored.

It is curious to a contemplative mind to observe, that the Visitations which have occurred have ter- minated in producing some establishment useful to the best interests of thc Country. ' T he Infirmary arose from the ashes of a Civil War. The provision of proper security and indemnity from loss in case of Fire, from a considerable por- tion of thc Eastern Suburb of Shrewsbury being destroyed bv that element. And " The Provident Society," from that great scourge— a Scarcity of Human Food. If from the present grievous affliction in Ireland the eyes of our countrymen should he opened to the good policy and wisdom, as well as humanity and ( I may add) duty, of supporting " The Pro- vident Society" effectively here, and be the means of the establishment of similar ones over the whole Empire, we shall demonstrate that we know how fo profit by the dispensations of an all- wise and beneficent Providence, who hath in so many in- stances evinced lhat good will result from the afflictions of life if we make a proper use of them. A BURGESS. Shrewsbury General Provident Society, 1822. RECEIPTS. TO THE EDITOR. SIR, To Balance in tlie Secretary's Hands To One Year's Dividend on £ 1150 in the Navy 5 per Cent One Year's Contributions from Honorary Members VV"* One Year's Contributions from Receiving Members.,.. 50 10 57 10 39 12 33 11 187 3 7 1 was present at the Meeting in thc Town Hall, Convened by our Chief Magistrate for thc Relief of the Distressed Districts in our Sister Kingdom, and would have addressed the persons assembled there, had not every thing essential to so interesting a subject been anticipated by the venerable Arch- deacon who moved, and the gallant General who seconded, fhe Resolutions ; and had not the cause of the needy been ST> ably advocated by them as to render any thing further being said on the subject tin necessary to any public meeting, but especially to one of this County or Town, whose character for humanity and generosity are so well known and so justly upheld. But 1 will beg leave to add one other reason for Shrewsbury being prominent on the present melancholy occasion, as we shall be thereby making some small return to one of our fellow- subjects, a native of Ireland, who a few- years ago saved the lives of two young Salopians from being drowned, by plunging'into the water near the House of Industry, and bringing from the bottom the bodies of the poor sufferers. This was done at the risque of his own life, in a severe winter, when the earth was covered with ice and snow. I shall now, with your permission, avail myself of the present opportunity of stating a few in- stances which occur to me in illustration of the humane character of the Salopians so justly drawn at the above Meeting, and then request thc atten- tion of the inhabitants to the subject of one of them, 44 The Provident Society," which appears to be of the highest importance to all classes of the community. The Salop Infirmary, established nearly fourscore . years ago, and soon after the conclusion of a very turbulent period of our history, presents to our view an account of relief administered to above fourscore thousand patients, by voluntary bene- factions and subscriptions, the annual income of which is now above £ 2000. About 50 years ago, a fire consumed a consider- able portion of the Eastern Suburb of Shrewsbury ; in a short time such a liberal voluntary contribu- tion was raised as not only relieved every sufferer, but sufficient was left to return to the subscribers above one- half of their subscriptions. Many of those subscribers gave their quota of the surplus to the foundation of a fund for future- fires, which ultimately gave rise to the respectable Fire- Office now bearing the name of this County and Town. Inundations of the Severn have been so frequent here that it is scarcely possible to enumerate them ; but I believe in no instance was it ever known, that complete relief was not only afforded, by raising money, purchasing necessaries, and boating to the families imprisoned in their houses by the devastating flood, and administering to all their wants, but a considerable surplus left for the com- mencement of a like relief on the next visitation which might happen. In some of these truly christian exertions many a kind benefactor hath suffered severely in health, and some lost their valuable lives. Nearly 20 years ago, a scarcity of Bread Corn called forth the energies of the County and Town, and the call was as promptly answered by their benevolent inhabitants. A considerable subscrip- tion took place: a ship was chartered to America, and returned loaded with flour, which was sold in this kingdom. This scarcity was the occasion of the founding of " The Provident Society"— a society which, if it had been more extensively attended to by the higher and middling classes-, it is believed by many, would in this period of time have reduced the Poor Rates so considerably, as evidently to have shewn it to be, perhaps, the only plan of extinguishing gradually that demoralising system. The Capital of this Society is stated in their printed published annual accounts, to be above £ 1000 ; but for want of the higher and middling classes becoming Honorary Members, the Ma- nagers, it is said, have been obliged to decline the offers of many of the lower classes to become Members, and thereby deprive tbem of the certain means of providing for the wants of age and infirmity, as well as of casual temporary illness, without resorting to thc workhouse fund. A few years ago, an Inundation commenced its career on the Stiperstones Mountain, on the west- ern side of the county, and carrying its devastat- ing torrent into the rivulet through the adjacent villages, washed down houses, burying some of their inhabitants in the ruins. A subscription was raised adequate to the loss occasioned by this awful visitation, and a considerable surplus was returned to thc subscribers. Added to the above, when we contemplate the thousands of pounds, which have been voluntarily subscribed, or assented to, for the erection and formation of Bridges, Halls, Gaols, Schools, Streets, Roads, & e. without entailing upon posterity a single toll or charge, but on the contrary expending thousands in purchasing and abolishing Tolls, our venerable Archdeacon is fully borne out in his declaration of what SALOPIA has been and is, and, when we view the rising generation, no rea- sonable person can doubt will long ( it is to be hoped for ever: continue to be. If the Report and Abstract of the Receipts and Disbursements of " The Provident Society" for the year ending Lady- Day, 1822, were published in the Newspapers, and if the Mayor would, under the auspices of the Committee appointed at the late Meeting, when they have completed their present labour of love, convene another Meeting, or by any other means appoint a similar Committee for 44 Tiie Provident Society," it is believed by many, that the fostering hand of this benevolent County and Town would be extended to it. Let people but look at the present list, small as it is, and see what relief hath been extended, and is now enjoyed, and at what a small annual contribution the fund is raised. Let them also reflect that the DISBURSEMENTS. John Evans, One Year's Pension, at 5s. per Week, to Lady- Day, 1822,.... Richard Monday, Ditto Francis Bayley, Ditto.

The following letter on thc subject has since been ad- dressed 44 to thc High Sheriff of the County of Monmouth — SIR,— As one of the persons included in the Re- quisition lately addressed to you, for convening a Meeting to take into consideration the Distressed and Disturbed Slate of tbe County, I beg leave to call your attention to what appears to me an inconsistency in the Resolutions, passed at the Meeting called in con- sequence of that Requisition1. Looking at the Resolutions as published, it can only be inferred, from a perusal of them, that they were entered into upon the distressed and disturbed state of the County being taken into consideration ; nnd, I submit, it must follow, that the cause of the dis- turbed, as well as ofthe distressed state of the County, was attributed by the Meeting to the grievances com- plained of in the Resolutions. Now as the disturbed state of the County, was no/ taken into consideration at thc Meeting, and is well known to have arisen from the private disputes of the Ironmasters with their Workmen, and to have uo connection with political causes, I conceive the sending forth to the world the Resolutions in their present shape, will have the effect of making a false impression on the public mind, with regard to the real state of the country ; j and as the nation is already sufficiently alarmed and ' agitated at the daily accounts of the general distress, ( whether true or exaggerated, I do not offer an opinion,) any publication, likely, from its nature, to encrease that alarm, cannot, I sumbit, be too strictly guarded against, or, if intentional, repro- bated." I cannot here help adverting to the mode in which Resolutions are usually entered into at popular meet- ings, without, however, reflecting, iu the slightest degree, ou your conduct on the late occasion when, if I suspect rightly, your own feelings were in direct opposition to those of the promoters of the Meeting. But I allude to the circumstance of embodying in the Resolutions, and carrying by clamour ( rather than upon conviction), not only allegations and conclu- sions incomprehensible to at least three- fourths of the whole assembly, but even unauthenticated facts and assertions. In support of this last charge, I will only cite the third Resolution of the last County Meeting, where it is stated 44 that the destructive practice of deserting farms by tbe Tenants, ( which has always been Considered as a proof of the greatest misery,) has begun in this County— that more than two- thirds of the occupiers of Land' s'li one parish have been summoned by the Magistrates for the non- payment of poor- rates, & e." and will appeal to you, whether, notwithstanding an inquiry was directed tothe Gen- tleman Who moved that resolution, for some proof of the facts proposed for the adoption of the Meeting, any satisfactory coufirnftitmn or not wait furnished In fact, the name of'fhe parish alluded to was ndt disclosed to the Meeting and although two or three instances were stated of individuals leaving their farms, and removing their stock, yet the first c:&' e mentioned, that of a person of tbe name of Dudley, was shewn by Mr. Phillips, one of the Coroners for the County, who was present, to have originated in dishonesty and not want. Mr. P. in short, proved that this man, who was so unfairly held up as an instance of tbe distress of the country and a victim of taxation, had been accustomed to spend nearly tbe whole of his time at an ale- house, had defrauded all his creditors, ( although possessed of property,) and had now de- parted the kingdom with one hundred pounds in money, leaving his wife and children totally un- provided for! The conduct I am deprecating forms, T am sorry to say, a part of the system of a class of men in this country, who, while they arrogate to themselves the title of patriots, and in addressing popular assemblies, solemnly profess tbe most ardent love and veneration for the laws and constitution of their country, ( so much so, as apparently to have scarcely aught be- sides. at heart,) do at the same time furnish the strongest grounds for questioning their sincerity by exciting in tbe minds o/ their auditors a spirit of dis- affection and contempt) towards the Government, and which cannot but have the effect of bringing into disrepute, and endangering those laws and consti- tution. Against conduct like this, so pernicious in ifs principles, and obviously dangerous in its tendency, I earnestly entreat the yet still loyal and iincon- taminated part of the community to be on their guard I remain, Sir, with the greatest respect, Your most obedient Servant, An OY/ NER of LAND in the COUNTY of MONMOUTH. WINE. DR. KITCHENER, in his recent Publication, " The Art of Invigorating Health," gives a Chapter on the use and abuse of this exhilarating liquor, from which the following is an extract:— WINE, especially Port, is generally twice spoiled •• before it is considered fit to be drank ! The wine- maker spoils it first, hy overloading it with brandy to make it keep.— The wine- drinker keeps it till time has not only dissipated the supera- bundant spirit,— but even until the acetous ferment- ation begins to he evident,— this, it is tbe taste now to call " flavour"— and wine is not liked, till it has lost so much of its exhilarating power, that you may drink a pint of it, before receiving that degree of ex- citement, whicb the wine- drinker requires to make him happy. We mean a legal pint containing 16 ounces. The measure of a bottle of wine ought to be as definitive as that of a pot of porter: is it uot astonish- ing that the Legislature have not ordered a standard and stamped Quart, for the Wine- merchant— as they have a pot for the Publican ? This would be equally as desirable to the respectable wine- merchant, as to the public. It would protect the former against the injurious competition of those who at present, by vending wine in bottles of inferior dimensions, im- pose ou the unwary purchaser under pretence cf selling at a lower than the market price. Pliat wine is much best when quite fresh opened, is a fact it is needless to observe— half a pint of wine ( i. e. 8 ounces^ i. e. 4 ordinary wine- glasses) is as much as most people ( who bave not spoiled their stomachs by intemperance) require. The rage for superannuated wine, is one of the most ridiculous vulgar Errors of modern Epicurism, — 44 the Bee's wing," 44 thick Crust on the bottle," 44 loss of strength, & c." which wine fanciers con- sider the beauty of their tawny favourite, 44 fine old port,"— are forbidding manifestations of decom- position, and the departure ot some of the best qualities of the wine. The more simply life is supported, and the less stimulus we use, tbe better, and happy are the young and healthy who are wise enough to be convinced that Water is the best drink, and Salt the best sauce. But in invalids past the meridian of life, we believe as much mischief is going on when our pulse hobbles along as if the heart was too tired to carry on the circulation, as can possibly be done to the constitution by taking such a portion of Wine as will remove the collapse, and excite the main spring of life to bloom with healthful vigour. MR. SCARLETT'S BILL. Fatal Consequence of Drinking Noyeau. It is ever a painful duty we perform, to report the sacrifice of human existence, from whatever cause derived ; but when the liability to such dread- ful catastrophes is connected with any of our familiar habits of life, we are bonnden, from the office we have imposed on ourselves as conservators of Ihe public health, not simply to the narration of facts, but to all the collateral circumstances which eluci- date the subject, so as to put the general reader in possession of such information, as removes the danger to which the want of knowledge of the subject ne- cessarily subjects him. Our readers are of course aware, that it is a practice amongst many tradesmen, to keep a bottle of some liquor, either wine or spirits, behind the counter, for the purpose of regaling their A Bill for altering the Poor Laws, of which the following is a copy, has been brought into Parlia- ment by Mr. Scarlett. Petitions against the same have been presented from Manchester and other populous places :— Whereas the removal of 1 lie poor who are inenpru Lle of maintaining themselves, to the places of tbeir settlement, is a grievous oppression to the industrious and honest amongst them, and is attended with much trouble, expense, and litigation, whereby the rates for the relief of the poor are greatly increased, and a strong temptation is offered to fraud and perjury; For remedy whereof— Be it enacted by the King's Most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual arid Temporal, and Commons, in this Parliament assembled, and by tiie authority of the same, that from and after the it shall not he lawful for any Justices of the Peace or other person, to remove or cause to be removed any poor person or persons, from any parish, township, or place to any other, by reason of such poor person or persons being chargeable to such parish, town- ship, or place, or being incapable of maintaining him or themselves, or under colour of such person or persons being settled iu any other parish, township, or place ; any law or statute to the contrary not with- ..

And be it further enacted, That where any poor " person, at the time of the passing of this Act, shall > e resident in any parish, township, or place, where which seems to have pleased the taste of his frien so well, that several regretted it was not stronger.

We now learn that tbe sufferers were Col. Gerard, of Windle Hall, the Rev. Francis Craythorne ( a Catholic clergyman), of Garswood, Mr. Roger Adamson and his eldest son, of Ashton, and boatman named John Jackson. How the accident occurred is not known, as all the parties in the boat perished; but it is supposed the boat was upset by a sudden gust of wind. It is understood that it vvas the Colonel's own pleasure boat, and that the parties went out on a fishing excursion. Col. Gerard was thc brother and heir presumptive of Sir William Gerard, Bart, of Garswood, and has left a widow aud large family. His boatman, John Jackson, has also left a widow and eight children. The empty boat, and two of the dead bodies, were picked up on the day of the accident. IRELAND.— The money raised in Chester for the relief of the suffering peasantry of that unhap- py country, has been appropriated in the purchase of potatoes, of thc best quality ; upwards of two thousand two hundred, measures are already ship- ped, and there is no doubt they are now in Dublin. The Itcv. VV. R. Smith, of Castlebar, Ireland, and one of the Secretaries to the Local Fund of that town, writes May 21st, 44 The misery of the poor here is hourly increasing. A family last week, in their last extremity, seized on a sheep iu a neighbouring field, killed it, and devoured part, and brought the remainder to the owner. A similar case occurred this week, with regard to a pig. I have, myself, seen several persons falling down, faint through weakness, from want of food. Our local subscription, thefirst entered into in the county, has already amounted to above £ 220, and out of this scanty fund we give relief to above 2000 famishing souls, at the rate of half a pound of meal per day, and that sold at the third of what we buy it for; but even this, I do most solemnly, as a Clergyman declare, does not give relief fo the one- tenth of the misery lhat hourly presented itself to our view." The City of London Committee on Saturday chartered twelve vessels to carry potatoes to Li- merick, Cork,, find other ports convenient to the scene of distress ; and so great is the activity exercised in completing the order, that men were employed from an early hour on Sunday in loading the vessels. The Doncaster Gazette says—" While our Irish brethren are starving for want of potatoes, this useful root is so plentiful in the county of Nottingham, that on the last market day . at Retford, quantities were sold for Is. per sack ( of 10 pecks); and at Mansfield, potatoes were retailed iu the. market at 2d. per peck." The Will of the late Archbishop of Armagh has just been proved by his widow under £ 220,000. The stamp to the probate was £ 2000. We have heard it stated, and we notice it with highly delighted feelings, that Thos. Houldsworth, Esq. M. P. has, with his usual benevolence, given the whole of bis winnings at our lale Races Jo the Widow and family of the unfortunate William Dunn— Chester Chronicle. An enormous pike, weighing 461bs. was recently caught in Chillington Pool, Staffordshire, on the estate of C. F. Giffard, Esq. It measured from head to tail four feet three inches; when opened, a trout weighing dflbs. was found in its belly, together with a mole, which he was devouring when taken. His Royal Highness the Duke of York, it is said, won £ 25,000 on his own horse Moses, at the Epsom Races on Thursday. He took the odds, which were 6 to 1, against Moses, so that he could lose but a small sum, and might win to large amount. Mr. Broadhurst's match, to drive to Reading, and to carry fourteen stone in a single horse chaise, in three hours and ten minutes for 100 guinea:?, proved a failure. He did half the distance ( twenty miles) in one hour and twenty- nine minutes, with out drawing, but after which the horse proceeded at a losing pace, and was pulled up at the twenty eighth mile. The Carlisle Patriot says—" The renowned George Cooper has intimated to the Gentlemen of the Scottish and Cumberland Fancy, that before he retires from the prize- ring he is desirous of givim Thomas Hickman, the Gas Man, a touch of genuiue science at Carlisle Races in September next. Hickman's gasconade and vaunting in Lon- don is not to intimidate the hero of the northern metropolis. George Cooper, therefore, proposes to fight Thomas Hickman, at the time and place above mentioned, for 200 guineas, in a 40 feet ring, to be a fair stand- up fight, half minute time; or for 100 guineas, in a 24 feet ring, on the same terms.— The umpires to have a discretionary power to give to the losing man, out of the stakes, such a sum as they may think proper, by way of remuner- ation for his travelling and training expenses, pro- vided the sum to be given is agreed on before the commencement of the battle. George Cooper having already travelled upwards of 1000 miles to fight Mr. Hickman, for the gratification of the London Fancy, thinks lie ia privileged to demand a meeting at Carlisle."

The Astringent matter, aud Alcohol— which render j Port Wine the prop of an Englishman's heart— are j intolerable to the palate of an Italian, or Frenchman. But a stomach which has heen accustomed to be wound up by the double stimulus of Astringents, and Alcohol also, will not be content with the latter only, especially if that be in less quantity, as it is in the Italian and French Wines; which, therefore, for the generality of Englishmen, are insufficiently excitant. He who has heen in the habit of drinking Porter at dinner, and Port after, will feel uncomfortable with home- brewed Ale and Claret. Some people have a notion that if they go to the Docks, they can purchase a pipe of Wine for twenty pounds less than they must pay to a regular Wine- Merchant, and, moreover, have it neat as imported ; as if all Wines of the same name, were of the same qua ity. Port varies at Oporto in quality and price as much as Porter does in London ; it is need less to say how difficult it is to obtain tbe best beer at any price ; it is quite as difficult to obtain the best Port Wine at Oporto, where the very superior Wine is all bought up at a proportionately high price by the agents for ihe London Wine- Merchants. Brandies and Wines vary in quality quite as much as they do in price-— not less than twenty pounds per pipe in the country where they are made. The only way to obtain genuine wholesome liquor, is to apply to a respectable Wine- Merchant, aud beg of him to send you the best Wine at the regular market price.— If you are particular about tbe quality of what you btiv, tbe less you ask about the price or the measure of it the better ; if you are not, bargain as bard as you please. Those tvho drink ivine, c. for the purpose it was given, as a Cordial, to cheer the circulation, when it faulters from fatigue, age, or profuse evacuations of any kind, 44 for the stomach's sake," as St. Paul re- commends it, and for 44 our often infirmities" as a medicine— will understand, that of all the ways of saving, to run any risk of buying inferior Wine, is the most ridic. il ) ucj unwise economy. To Ice Wine is another very unprofitable nnd in- convenient custom, ond not only deteriorates its flavour, but by rendering it dull in the mouth, people are induced to drink too much, as they are deprived of the advantage of knowing when they have got enough ; for as soon as the Wine becomes warm in their stomachs, the dose they have taken merely to exhilarate jhem, makes them drunk. Th ? true economy of drinking, is to excite us much exhilaration as may be, with as liltle Wine. We deprecate the custom of sitting for hours after dinner, and keeping the stomach in an incessant state of irritation by sipping Wine,— nothing can be more prejudicial to Digestion— it is much better to mix food and drink, and to take tbem by alternate mouth fills. Now- a- days, babies are brought to table after dinner, by Children of larger growth, to drink wine ; which has as had an effect on tbeir tender susceptible stomachs, as the like quantity of Alcohol would produce upon an adult. Wine has heen called 44 the Milk of Old Age," so 44 Milk is the Wine of Youth." As Dr. Johnson observed, it is much easier to he abstinent than to be temperate ; and no man should habitually take Wine as Food till he is past 30 years of age at least ; happy is he who preserves this best of cordials in reserve, and only takes it to support his mind and heart when distressed by anxiety and fatigue. That w hich may be a needful stimulus at 40 or 50, will inflame the passions into madness at 20 or 30, and at an earlier period is absolute poison. Among other innumerable advantages which the water- drinker enjoys, remember he saves at least Fifty Guineas per annum, which the Beer and Wine drinker wastes, as much to the detriment of his health, as the diminution of his finances ; moreover, nothing deteriorates the sense of Taste as soon as strong liquors; the water- drinker enjoys an ex- quisite sensibility of Palate, and relish for plain food, that a wine- drinker has no idea of. Some people make it a rule to drink a certain number of glasses of Wine during and after dinner, whether they are dry, or languid, or not— this is as ridiculous as it would be to eat a certain number of mutton chops wheiber you are hungry or not. The effect produced by Wine is seldom the same, even in the yame person, and depends upon the state of the animal spirits at the time, whether the stomach be full or empty, & c, instantaneously ; the moment the poison has touched the skin tbe person falls dead, as though he had been killed with a stroke of lightning; but such a dangerous process is it to obtain Prussic acid in this j state of purity, that few, if any, wilt incur the drea l- i fill risk in preparing it; for should the finger of the operator but touch the matter he has prepared, he dies'for his temerity. VVe believe Mr. 11. C. Jennings, a gentleman well known as one of the most ingenious and philosophical experimentors of this country, has obtained it in a state equal, or nearly so, to this strength: the stopper of the bottle only applied to tbe nose of a large Newfoundland dog, produced instant death to the animal. But violent and dreadful as are the effects of this poison, it is nevertheless a most valuable medicine in all those diseases in which it is desirable to depress the vital powers.— Gazitte of Health. A melancholy instance of the danger of obtain- ing medicine from persons not duly qualified to dispense it, occurred last week at Wadebridge. A wheelwright of Pencarrow- mill, near the place, being indisposed, desired his wife to buy a dose of salts at a shop where drugs are sold, which she did, and obtained what she supposed to be salts, but which proved to be a poisonous drug, similar in appearance to salts. She gave the whole of what she had purchased to the unfortunate man, but being alarmed by the almost instantaneous effects, an inquiry was made, and though prompt assist ance was obtained, the poor man expired within an hour after taking the fatal poison. Parsley.— It. is said, that parsley when rubbed against a glass goblet or tumbler, will break it— though the cause of this phenomenon is not known A few days since, as some labourers in the employ of Messrs. Carless, were ploughing in a field in the parish of South Littleton, Worcestershire, they discovered, a little below the surface, 104 swords and pikes ; from their make it is conjectured they must have remained in that place ever since the Battle of Evesham in 1265. CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS.— An uncommonly finespecimen of the 19th Class of tbe Night blowing Ceres, is in the possession of Mr. Bath, and blos- somed on Tuesday night-— the white cup measuring one foot in circumference, enclosing innumerable stamina as fine as silk, and surrounded by nearly one hundred guard leaves, two feet and a half in circumference; the stem measured five inches. The perfume was most exquisitely delicate, but, as is the property of the plant, the blossom closed before morning, not to be seen again perhaps for years.— Cheltenham Chronicle. Mr. Flower, of Ridge, in the parish of Chilmark* Wilts, had a field of wheat in ear on the 12th ult. and it was in full bloom on Sunday, the 19th— Mr. Bevis, of Chilmark, had also wheat in ear on Sunday, the 19th ult. In consequence of the extreme favourableness of the lale weather, grass has grown so rapidly, as to be fit for cutting much earlier this year than it is in general.— Many fields of excellent meadow grass were cut in the course of last week in the neighbour- hood of Salisbury, and there is every prospect of the hay being got in, in great abutidaucc and in good order. A REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.— In the year 1795, a woman who acted as cook to a lady at Northallerton, in cutting a turnip round thc heart of it, found a gold ring, and immediately made her mistress acquainted with so extraordinary a circumstance. The lady sent for the gardener's wife, and asked whether the ring she then had upon her finger was the same that she had been married with ? the woman replied that it was not, as she had unfortunately lost her wedding ring about a year or two after her marriage from off her finger whilst weeding in the garden. She was then asked, if she should know the ring again if it was shewn to her; to this she replied that the ring she had lost had a particular mark on it, which she described. The ring found in the heart of the turnip was then produced, and was proved from the mark to be the identical ring lost by Mrs. Wood, the gardener's wife, and immediately restored to her, after it had been in the ground ten or twelve years. Ladies of South America.— A letter . from Lima states, that the Theatre is opened twice a week; that the most fashionable Ladies stand up iu the front boxes and light their segars by the chande- liers; and that the house is continually filled with smoke. In the Court of Common Pleas, New York, a cause of assault and battery was tried, in which Charles Bonaparte was the defendant. He is stated to be of the same family, and no very distant relation of the Bonaparte who was so famous for his assaults and batteries. He W3S found guilty, and adjudged to pay six cents, damages. DESTRUCTION OF SQUIRRELS.—- The Piqua Gazette of March 28, states, that 4271 of these animals were destroyed in that county in three days' hunting.— The Dayton Paper mentions that 1000 squirrels were shot in that neighbourhood on the 29th Feb.— Ohio Paper, And whereas it may happen, that certain parishes, townships, or villages, maintaining iheir own o i, may, by the residence therein of labourers employed and working in other parishes or townships, become charged with tbe burden of relieving those, or the families of those not working, and not nt the lime of passing this Act being settled therein ; Be it enacted, That in such cases where thc rates for the rel ef of the poor have been increased by tbe cause aforesaid, it shall be lawful for tbe Justices of the Peace, at any Quarter Sessions of the Peace held in and for the county in which such places shall he, upon applica- tion by the overseers ofthe poor of any such parish, township, or place, to hear and inquire into the matter of such complaint, and if thev shall be satis- fied of the truth thereof, to make an oider, according to their discretion, for taxing, in aid of ibe complain- ants, any other or other parishes, or out of any paiish within tlie same county, as in their discretion shall seem fit, and for such time ns they shall think fit, and as shall be specified in their order : — Provided always, That no order shall be made for the purpose aforesaid, unless it shall he proved to such Justices upon oath, that a separate and distinct account has been kept by the overseers of the poor applying for such relief, of the additional burden which lias been own upon their rates br the cause aforesaid, and that no money raised for the relief of the poor has been improperly or unnecessarily expended by them. And be it further enacted, That so long ns such order shall remain in force, the overseers of the poor, or other person or persons upon whom such order hall be made, and every of them, shall have tlic like access to the accounts of the overseer of the poor of the place in whose favour such order shall be made, and tbe like power of appealing against tbe allow- ance thereof, as the inhabitants of the parish or place in whose favour sucb order shall he made, or any of them, could or might have.

Saturday the 25th, between one and two o'clock, a tremendous storm of hail took place at Kensing- ton, by which thc destruction of property has been immense, and most of the houses deluged from top to bottom. The Kensington Lace Manufac- tory had almost the whole of the windows broken, and it was with difficulty the work - pco pi r cscapt'il from the broken glass and pieces of ice, some of which measured three inches in circumference, and which were flying about in all directions, to the destruction of a large quantity of valuable lace. Such was the accumulation of ice in thc gutters of the buildings, that it was not wholly melted till Sunday evening. In the garden attached, some of the trees were stripped as if it was . winter ; and on sweeping together the leaves next morning, sparrows were fuutid under them killed. At Mal- colm's Nursery, 1200 squares of glass were de- molished, and the destruction of valuable plants is incalculable. In Kensington Palace gardens, 1500 squares were destroyed. At a nursery near Trafalgar- place, the damage is estimated at £ 300, besides numerous instances of its destructive effects. AVAUICF, OUTWITTED.— A singular anecdote is related of John Eyre, Esq. who, though worth upwards of £ 30,001), w asconvictcd at theOld Bailey, and sentenced to transportation for stealing eleven quires of common writing paper. An uncle, a gentleman of considerable property, made his will in favour of a Clergyman, who was his intimate friend, and committed it to the custody of thc divine. However, not long before his death he made another will, in which he left the clergyman only £ 500, leaving the bulk of his property to his nephew and heir at law, Mr. Eyre. Soon after the old gentleman's death, Mr. E. rummaging his drawers, found this last will, and perceiving the legacy of £ 500 for the Clergyman, put the will into the fire, and took possession of all the cffects, in consequence of his Uncle being supposed to have died intestate. Thc Clergyman coming to town soon after, and inquiring into the circumstances of his old friend's death, asked if he had made a will? On being answered iu the negative, he very coolly put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out the former will, which had been committed to his care, in which Mr. E. had bequeathed him the whole of his fortune, amounting lo several thousand pounds, excepting a legacy of £ 500 to his nephew.
