Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any Mineral or per- nicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection aginst the use of other Denti- frices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to • annihilate those destructive particles which ad- here to the Gums and the Interstices of theTeeth; healing injuries in the former, ami promoting a new Enamel ( where il has been injured or corrod- ed) on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gtims; aud if used • regularly will preserve the Teeth in a sound state • to old age. Sold in Boxei, at 0s 9 L bv Bullets, Chemists, .

THE continual and rapidly increasing Demand for this excellent Remedy, is the- best Proof ofthe high Estimation in which it is held; in- deed, it may be said to be the only public Medicine which is exactly suitable to those numerous cases where the Stomach being already weakened, and the digestive Powers deranged, any active and violent Purgatives are highly prejudicial, and productive of serious Injury to the Constitution. These Pills are peculiarly mild, safe, arid effectual ; as a gentle aperient Tonic, they cleanse, and yet strengthen the Stomach, restore the Appetite, promote digestion, and a due secretion of Bile, and keep tbe Bowels in a regular and comfortable state, free from costive ness, but by no means too relaxed.

FRANCE.— The opening of the Session of the Chambers took place on Tuesday. A copy of the Speech of Louis XVI LI. on the occasion, was re- ceived by express this day. The following is a translation :— 44 GENTLEMEN,-— The necessity which has long been felt of liberating the financial administration from those provisional measures to w hich it has been necessary hitherto fo recur, has determined imf, this year, to anticipate the period of calling you together. In exacting from you this new sacrifice, I rely upon your zeal, and upon that devotion of which you have given me so many proofs. 44 Providence has preserved the infant which it has given to us, and it is a pleasing thought to imagine that he is destined to repair the losses and tbe misfortunes which have befallen my family and people. 44 I have the satisfaction to announce to you, that tny relations with Foreign Powers continue to be of the most amicable description. A perfect unanimity has influenced the efforts, concerted between my Allies and myself, to put an end to the calamities which oppress the East, and whieh afflict humanity. I cherish the hope of seeing tranquillity restored in those countries without the occurrence of a new war to aggravate their miseries. 44 The naval force whieh I maintain in the Levant has accomplished its destination, by protecting my subjects, and by affording aid to the unfortunate, whose gratitude has been the reward of our solicitude. 44 I bave adopted precautions which have kept from our frontiers the contagion which has ravaged a part of Spain. The preseut season does not permit j that we should relax these precautions, and I shall j therefore continue them as long as tbe safety of the country may require it. Malevolence alone can dis- j cover in these measures a motive foreign to my real ; intentions. 44 Bash enterprizes have disturbed, in some parts j of the kingdom,, public tranquillity ; but they bave j only served to msplay, more signally, the zeal of tbe j magistrates and the fidelity of the troops. If a small j number of individuals, who are the enemies of order, i view, with despair, our institutions consolidated aud I rendering a new support to the Throne, my people ' abhor their criminal designs. I shall take care that violence does not deprive them of the privileges tbey enjoy. 44 Positive calamities, though exaggerated by fear, have recently desolated the departments contiguous to the capital. The aid of public and private benevo- lence has, however, mitigated them. Tbe activity of the inhabitants shortened the duration of these dis- asters ; authority seconded their zeal ; justice will punish the guilty. 44 Tbe exact state of tbe debt arrierde, is at lengih ascertained, aud will be submitted to you. This debt, whose origin is in times happily far removed from ns, and whose liquidation has developed its fail extent, will retard for tbe present year, in spite of my most deep regret, a part of those ameliorations of which tbe various branches of the public revenue will be susceptible. 44 The ad vantages we have already obtained should encourage us to persevere for their maintenance and increase1, i rely npon your aid to secure, in our beautiful couutry, that prosperity which Providence designs for us : this is the wish of my heart; the incessant object of my thoughts; it is the consoling idea which alleviates the recollection of my pains, and which embellishes the anticipations of the future.*' THE LOST JEWEL.-— It is said that a respect- able bookseller, of Pall- mail, found the diamond cross lost by the Countess of Jersey. it was picked up at the top of Lansdowne- passage, in Berkeley- square. On inspection, the principal stone was missing; but, fortunately, a servant being sent with a broom, the identical gem was also discovered. The cross is valued at 1000 guineas The finder received 50. DANCING.— It may be gratifying to those who j regret that the English are not 4C a dancing pco- ! pie," to learn that the saltatory propensity is j rapidly spreading amongst us. A proof of this was ! given on Thursday at Bow Fair, which was most numerously attended by tlae fashionables of the East end of the town. At this scene of frolic, ; besides numerous retail hops iu the usual style, there was a booth called the Crown and Anchor Tavern, 300 feet long, and 70 feet wide. The ball- room was divided into sets, and at one time upwards of 1000 persons joined in the dance. The entrance to the assembly- room was guarded by peace- officers, to prevent any disorder. The inte- rior was splendid in the extreme, being illuminated with upwards of 6000 party- coloured lamps, taste- fully displayed in various devices. The orchestra was elevated and consisted of a band of eighteen musicians. The dances were conducted by two 44 professional" persons, who greatly contributed to the accommodation of tbe company. Quadrilles were the order of the night!— Quadrilles at Bow Fair! Something new must be immediately invented at Almack's. The advanced fruitage of our orchards is such as to justify the most confident expectation that a very considerable quantity of cider will be made this year. The price has, in consequence, very considerably declined, and good cider may now be bought in this neighbourhood, from 30s. to £ 4 per hogshead. In the vicinity of Ilminster, the price from 30s. to . £ 5 per hogshead, but at the latter price excellent. Very good table cider may be purchased for £ 3.— Taunton Courier.

DEAR SIR, BEING deeply sensible of the Cure I have received hy taking your invaluable Drops, Gratitude compels uie to return yon my hum- ble and hearty Thanks; and feeling for my Fellnw- creatures in such Situations, I have a great Desire my Case may be published, which is as follows : — I was two Years afflicted with ihis Complaint in different Parts of my Body ( especially my Hands), particularly the inside, or Palms of Ihe Hands, which broke out into Holes, contracting Ibe Sinews, anil ' my Fingers were drawn inward, mv Wrists, and Arms, were ulcerated; nud being by Trade a Cord. I wainer, I was obliged, with very great Difficulty, to cut out my Leather, and at last, totally debarred j doing it at all, being unable to use my Fingers, so far was the Disorder sealed in my Constitution. Thus with gigantic Strides ( baffling ihe Skill of the most eminent of the Faculty, who could render me no Relief) it ascended upwards in my Arms, and Shoulders; Ihey honestly told me they could do me uo good, hut tliat I might possibly survive till it got tn my Heart.— Notwithstanding" such unpleasant Disorder, with Information, equally as dreary, with Depression of Spirits, mingled with llope, I heard the following Whisper;— The door of llope is not quite shut against thee ; there is a healing Balm at Upton Magna ; there is a Physician ihere. I in- stantly obeyed; and commenced a Trial of your Drops, when 1 soon found Relief; ami when I had taken six small Bottles, I found a safe Cure. JOSEPH WILLIAMS.

THE FUNDS.— Saturday the continuation on Consols to the end of the account was at one period j 1 per cent, which gives interest for the use of money I at the rate of about 10 per cent, per annum. Con- j sols for money left off at 79^, and at 80£ sellers I for the account. The new 4 per Cent. Stock created by the reduction of interest on the Navy Fives, is now circulating in the market at the price of 95^, thus placing, as nearly as possible, on an equal footing, those who assented to the measure, and those who demanded money instead of stock.

His Lordship instantly consented, and it has been fixed that the conceit shall take place on Wednesday, the 12th of June. The Prince and Princess of Denmark have, it is said, expressed their intention to be present. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says, 44 On the most correct documents, we can assure our country- men, that it is calculated that no less than 100,000 human creatures are likely to fall victims in Ireland, fo famiue or fever, in many eases to both; and if means are not immediately applied, other parts of Ireland, as well as the south and west, will most likely soon be visited with tbe same shocking scene of 4 men, women, and children, living,— or endea- vouring to live— on leaves of trees, seaweeds, and other destructive vegetables,' which horses and dogs cannot be preserved alive on; in consequence llie typhus fever is sweeping off hundreds of our fellow- creatures where famine has not done so." Tbe right of search constitutes the most vexa- tious and oppressive part of the Tax on Salt, now proposed tobe reduced in England from 15s. to 2s. a bushel. All apprehensions on that point are how- ever laid at rest. The Earl of Liverpool, in answer to a question from Lord Suffield, in the House of Lords, on Friday night, stated, that in the event of the Bill for the reduction of the tax being pas- sed, the right of search would nol be insisted upon; These Races commenced on Tuesday, and the company exhibited a blaze of splendour never ex- celled. Hyde Park on Sunday was a miniature picture of ihe grand scene. His Majesty arrived on the ground at one oMock, and entered the new stand, erecied on the site of tbe old one. It is a unique building of two stories, with an entrance- yard w alled in, and a cellar for refreshments. The King, on shewing himself in front of the stand, wa3 loudly greeted. He was accompanied by the Duke of York, Duke of Dorset, Marchioness Conyngham, and son and daughter, Sir Andrew Bernard, Colonel Thornton, Sir E. Nagle, Lord aud Lady Harrington, See. & c.

The attendance upon tbe course this day was comparatively thin. The capacious stands erected for the accommodation of spectators, and which were yesterday filled almost to suffocation at very high prices, were some of them nearly empty. The lines of carriages also on each side the course, were not half so extensive. This sudden falling off is principally owing to the intense heat ofthe weather, which yesterday was so oppressive as to be almost beyond human endurance. Many Indies fainted in tbeir carriages and in the stands. The atmosphere to- day was considerably cooler. It was expected that the King would have been present, each day of the races, but His Majesty did not attend the course this morning, and the Royal stand was occupied onlv by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Dukes of Wellington and Devonshire, Lord Stewart, and a few other Noblemen and Geti- , tlemen. j The Races commenced about two o'clock, and were run as follow :— !

TT.— YesterdayTH Animal Meeting of the Subscribers tn this iiisli- tution was held at the Central School House. Baldwin's- gaidens, Grav's- imj- lanc. There were present the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of London, Salisbury, Chester, Wor- cester, Exeter, and I. andaff, !. orris Kenvon and Calthorpe, Sir . fames Laogham, Mr. Wilberforoe, & c. & c.— The Archbishop nf Canterbury took !! iu Chair, fhe Rev. Dr. Walmsley, Hon. Sec. read the Report of the Committee fur the last year, by which it appeared that 82 new schools had been formed in different parts of the kingdom, making the total number of schools 1790, ill which were instructed upwards of 250,000 children ; being an increase of upwards of 12,000 over the number of the preceding year, the Committee had given £ 3,425 towards establishing 30 schools. The tola! receipts of tbe Society for the year amounted to £ 3,( 534) ami their funded property amounted to £ 3,600.— The Archbishop of Canterbury said, considering the great utility of Ihe Institution, he could not but entertain sanguine hopes that it would soon receive a more general Support from the Public, it must be painful lo all to hear that 13 schools had been discontinued.— After several votes of thanks the meeting elected Ihe Governors for the ensuing year, and then separated. SOCIETY FOR TTLE IMPROVEMENT or PRISON DISCIPLINE.— On Monday a numerous and most respectable Meeting of this Society was held at the Freemason's Tavern, the Duke of Gloucester in the Chair. There were present also Lord Suftieldi Messrs. Wilbraham, Wilberforce, Bonnet, Coke; Mr. Randolph, of Ihe American Congress, ike. & c. The Report was read by Ihe Secretary, which presented a satisfactory account of the proceedings of the Society during Ihe last year, in which several improvements were made in Prison Discipline which tended much to the reformation of juvenile offenders. After several Gentlemen had delivered their sentiments, in favour of the Society, a series of Resolutions was passed.— A handsome Subscrip- tion was made, anil the Company withdrew. The Guardians nf the Poor of Plymouth hare, in the last two years, effected a saving of £ 3000, and reduced the Poor's Rate from 9s. 2d. lo 5s. 2U. in the pound. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE ot COMMONS- MONDAY. A debate, of some length, arose upon the brinoincr Up of the Report of tlie Army and Navy Pension Bill, in the course of which " the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER assented to an Amendment pro- posed by Mr. GRENPEU , that Ihe Com uissioners for the liquidation nf the National Debt shall he at liberty to purchase, from time to time, any portion tliey may think fit of the annuities tu he created by the Mr. CcKWEff moved the total Repeal of the Salt Tax, ns an amendment to the Chancellor of the Excli equer's Resolution for tbe reduction of tbe tax to two sltill ings per bushel. This amendment was negatived by a majority of 111 to 67. In the Committee on the Corn Importation Bill, Mr. CANNlnr. moved) its an instruction to the Com- mittee, th at the proprietors of foreign corn should he permitted to take out certain portions of wheat for Ihe purpose of grinding it into flo( ir ; that when so ground, they should he permitted to expose it for sale, wilh a view to exportation, fur the space of six weeks— After the expiration of this period, the whole sold to be verified by the Custom ll. mse docu- ments to have been shipped for tile purpose of ex- portation, and the residue to he again placed in the storehouses appointed for its reception. This motion was agreed lo hy a majority of 116 to 39. On the clause in tiie Bill for fixing the import price al 70s. being read, Mr. WOLRVCHE WHITMORE rose to move an amendment. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, he felt il his duly to make a few remarks upon one or two points, and especially upon the attempt made in this Bill lo raise Ihe price of corn in Great Britain higher than iu other parts of the world. To this purpose be entertained the most decided objections, and was convinced that if ihe system were pursued, the manufactures of lli, country could not continue in prosperity. The Hon. Gent", concluded by moving thai Ihe words 64s. be sub.' stiluted for 70s.— On a division, this amendment was negatived by a majority of 87 to 42. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. Sir J. MACKINTOSH brought forward a ui it'on for a Resolution, pledging Ihe House to take the Crimi- nal Code into its consideration at an early period of the next Session, with a view to its amendment, hy the mitigation of ils rigor, and by a reform of ihe Police of the country, particularly as respeels prisnif discipline.— The ATTORNEY GENERA!, objected t„ the vague character of the motion, and adverted to the difficult situation iu which the administration of criminal justice would he placed, while llie general censure of the House of Commons impended over it. — Mr. BUXTON supported the motion, which, oinillHur Ihe clause respecting the police, was carried by a majority of 117 to 101. Mr. WALLACE then moved the third reading of his Bill for altering ihe Navigation Laws, Sic.; ami, after a short discussion, this important Bill, which so materially affects our Commercial Interests, was passed. Mr. HOME called Ibe attention of the House and of his Majesty's Ministers to a tax which presses severely ou ihe shipping interest at all times, and which is peculiarly felt at the present moment ; namely the deduction of 6d. per month lr,, m tin- wages of seamen in Ihe merchants' service for tiie support of Greenwich Hospital. This lax wasorioi. nally imposed hy the 7th and 8lh of William ill. and entitle ! the seamen who paid it to pensions from the Hospital for whose benefit it was levied. The claim of the contributors for pensions has now' become obsolete; but still Ihe tax is collected as formerly, when it was first enforced. In 1S15 its grosj produce amounted to £ 34,248.5s. Id.; in 1816 to £ 26,788 ; in 1817, to £ 23,485 ; in 1818, to £ 24 406 • in 1819, tn 25,105; in 1820, to £ 23,723; and in' 1821, to £ 23,890. These large sums are annually deducted from the wages of sailors navigating mer- chant vessels, who derive no mote benefit from the fund than any other class of the community. But the tax is not only objectionable from its'partial nature, it is more so from its expeusive collection. Last year the gross amount of the duty was it is stated, £ 23,890, but only £ 18,806, w'as paid to the Treasurer of Ihe Hospital-— the remaining £ 5,083, ( or 21 per cent.) being the charge of cof lection. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. Mr. PEEL moved for leave tn bring iu a Bill tn continue the Alien Act. The Right Honourable Gentleman defended the measure by a reference Hi the forbeara- co of Goveruriient, in acting npon iis provisions during seven years that it has been in force. He indignantly repelled ihe imputation that il had been adopted at the suggestion of tinv foreiu- n Government. And in illustration of the beniunalit hospitality which this country affords to foreigners of all countries, whatever their former conduct iniv have been, provided thrv do uot attempt to make the British soil the scene of renewed intrigue, Mr. Pe, I affirmed that each of the late conspiracies on ihe em - tinent of Europe had thrown upon our shores a number of refugees, w ho continue to enjoy un ui - molested security, while Ihe increasing arrivals , f aliens sufficiently prove the confidence reposed by foreigners ia the protection of our Government. The motion was warmly opposed by Sir J. MACK- INTOSH, Sir 11, WILSON, Mr. SCARLETT, and Mr. DENMAN. The Ma rquis of Londonderry spoke ttiih unusual animation iu support of Mr. Peel's propo- sition, which was carried by a majority of 1S& to 93. SUSPENSION OF TRADE WITH CHINA.— A private letter from Canton, dated January 16, states that no reconciliation had at tbat time been effected; the trade was still suspended, and may continue so for some time, since neither party Seems likely at present to make any satisfactory concession. The Governor of Canton had refused the captains and officers permission to ship off their private trade. We have this moment received an express from Paris, dated on Tuesday evening, staling that intelligence had that day arrived both from Vienna and St. Petersburg, announcing lhat the points in dispute between Russia and Turkey had been amicably settled.— Courier. HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. A debate ensued on the presentation of a petition from tlie Rev. T. S. Griinshawe, Rector of Burton i!;,.! Vicar of Biildejfibam. complaining tbat the Bishop of Peterboron+ ll had improperly refused In license a citrate appointed hy the petitioner, on the ground of bis nor giving satisfactory answers to bis question*. — The Bishop entered into a long explana- tion, anil insisted'that ilie petition was founded upon false allegations. In doing what in this instance was flie subject of complaint, he maintained tbat lie had only performed nn important part of his duty, in the best manner be was able.— Lords HOLLAND and CAI. THORPP, and fcirl B/ THCKST, thought the Right Rev. Prelate bail gone further than the canons of thc church warranted him in doing; and had hy nn means consulted a w ise policy by narrowing ihe basis on which the church rested. No opposition was offered to the reception of ihe petition, hut the Loan CHANCELLOR opposed himself to u motion to refer il to a Committee, and the motion was ultimately negatived hv a division nf58to 19. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The second reading of ihe Irish Police Bill Was carried bv a major!' y of 58; the numbers being ayes 113, noes' 55. Mr. GOBLBOURN, on moving ihe order of the day, entered into an explanation of the mea- sure, which is ia fact a transfer of the appointment ef tbe constables in their respective comities from ihe Grand Jury to the Executive Authority of tbe kingdom — Mr. PLUNKETT, Mr. PEEL, Mr. V. FITZ- OE8AI. lv, nnd others, spoke iu favour of the measure, Which, on Ibe other hand, was warmly opposed hy Mr. SPRING RICE, Sir J. NEWPORT, Mr. ABBUCROMEV, Mr. CHARLES GRANT, fee. The Second Report of the Agricultural Com- mittee has just heen delivered lo the Members of tlie House of Commons. ' I he evidence of which it con- sists, relates to the subject of storing Foreign Grain in warehouses under the King's lock, wilh respect to which great apprehensions were felt by many of the persons who petitioned Parliament, lest lai- ye quantities of thillGiain should be surreptitiously taken mil, and brought into the supply of the home market, contrary to law. It w as also stated, by some of the pe- titioners, that a considerable portion had been so used. The Committer proceeded to examine into one or two particular cases ill which frauds of Ibis descrip- tion were alleged to have been practised, and tbe result of their investigation led them to believe that, generally speaking-, tbe precautions & checks, under the Act " ist and 2d of bis present Majesty, cap. 87, which are observed and applied lo I fie VVaielioilsillg of Foreign Grain, are so etl'eciual, and so regularly enforced, as to remove all suspicion ns to the market having been at all affected by a fraudulent supply obtained hy nnv so<; h undue practices. They refer however, to au instance which happened at Bridling- ton ( the particulars of which are detailed iu the Appendix), as a proof that a constant and vigilant snpt- rintendance on the part of the Custom- house Officers is essentially necessary. If it should be judged expedient to restrict the warehousing of Foreign Grain lo snine few of the most considerable ports, instead of allowing it, as iioiv, lo he deposited in any port, such irregularities the Committee think would probably be prevented in ^ ture.

The last accounts from Spain, which are to the 31st lilt, are nf a description that must prepare every reflecting mind for the catastrophe that is approach- ing. In various districts, bodies of partisans, op- posed to the new orderof things, maintain themselves with fluctuating success against the revolutionists. We read of the former biiag defeated, but nowhere done find thai tranquillity is restored. Triumphs are said lo be gained by the faction ill power, bill they lead to no consolidation of their power. Ou the contrary, their adversaries seem to multiply in every direction, anil if, as is alleged, they are driven from oue position, ii is only to shew themselves with re- newed ardor and augmented force, iu another What must be the linnl issue of lliis state of things is obvious lo the meanest capacity. Every step that is taken is one that retrogrades from political strength and civil order. Every week, every day, gives birth to events which dissolve some remaining tie of social life, and accelerate Ihe reign of total anarchy. No party is jet strong enough to gain ihe ascendancy, and coerce its rivals: but this stale of nearly co- ordinate factions cannot lotto; continue ; and as it is probable the tirst supremacy will lie that of rebellion, we may expect, when the grim idol is solemnly elevated upon the ruins of the monarchy, a san- guinaiy and disastrous career. [ From our Private Correspondent.] HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY. STATE OF IRELAND. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, ow ing to Ibe indispo- sition of a Noble Earl ( Liverpool), postponed his motion on this subject until Friday next, for which day their Lordships were ordered to be summoned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. Mr. BENNET brought up the Report of the Ale- nse Licensing Bill. Ordered to lie printed, aud taken into further consideration on Ftiduy next. Lord LONDONDERRY said, he would now move the order of the dav for renewing the Report of the Corn Importation Bill. He understood it was considered is the most convenient to take Ihe debate oo the third reading, when his Right Hon. Friend, the Mem- ber for Liverpool, would propose bis clause relative to grinding the foreign corn. Now to Ihe principle of that clause lie had no objection, hut lie understood many geuileinen objected to the details. If he Id find the objection so formidable as to en- danger the bill, lie would oppose the clause now, rejecting it from this bill, and leave hisKig'ht Hon. Friend to bring forward his proposition in the shape of a separate bill. Mr. BENNET, adverting to the great mass of har- ness on the paper for to- day, expressed a desire lo have the next stage of the preseoi Regulation Bill, which stood ' or to- night, positively for Fridav, with precedence without delay. Mr. CANNING declined the proposition of the Noble Lord, to bring in a new bill, lie would take ihe sense of the House upon it to night. Sir J. SEBRIGHT was convinced, if tbe clause was adopted, it would be found ruinous to the agri- culturist. Sir E KNATCunriL also opposed the clause, and confidently called on th" Noble Marq- m an. I the House to reject it. No precautious could guard against the evil tendency of this clause. Lord LONDONDERRY said the clause was open to observation, uud might be rejected on the third reading. THB SPEAKER said tbe clause in question was amongst the amendments, and might he objected to when read bv the Clerk in its turn. The Clerk Ihen proceeded to read the amend- ments ; and on coining to the clause— Mr. Cl'RWEN expressed himself decidedly against it. It would be impossible to insure tbat tbe flour made from this inferior corn would be sent out uf the country. Mr. BRIGHT supported the c'ause.

Tiie fineness of the day added greatly to the imposing splendour of the sc » p£; 1 b;* - rhole passed off w ith the utmost eclat, and, as far as we have yet heard, without any accident, except such as might arise from the extreme heat and pressure occasioned by Ihe vast assemblage. A most distressing scene present oil itself Friday last, at Horoavcrs Quay, near Pentillie Castle. A man having occasion to light thc lime kiln, went down from the kiln head, as is usual on sucb occ- isions, to make a hole, or what is termed a chimney, with a rod of iron, when he was suffo- cated by the gas arising from the culm. A second ma. i u.-. it down to his assistance, who instantly shared a similar fate. A third followed, and also lost his life. A fourth man had still the courage lo descend to the assistance of bis unfortunate companions ; he look the precaution, however, to tw a rope round his middle, but was no sooner ilo-. vn than he dropped as the others bad done. He was immediately drawn up senseless, and after a considerable time restored to life. The three men who hud descended the fatal kiln were after much difficulty drawn up quite dead. It is a lamentable circumstance, tiiat each of the sufferers has left wifi- to deplore his untimely fate; and th? ihildren of the three families amount to twenty.— Cornwall Gar. ette. Oil Sunday morning week, Daniel Finev, tvas found lying at Ibe mouth of a lime kiln, in Frods ham, in snch a slate as not to be able either to move or speak. He was removed to a barn belonging to Mr. Griee, at Frodsham Bridge, and medical aid was sent for; but notwithstanding every effort lo recover him, he died at a little after ten, — It is Ihe opinion of Ihe medical gentlemen who attended him, that bis death was caused by inhaling the sulphurous gas emitted by the burllin lime. Sunday morning lasl, as the Oxford Mail was proceeding from Bristol to Bath, in going down Totterdowu- hill, some part of the harness broke, by which one of tbe horses fell, the others took fright and gallopped down the hill, tbe coachman sprang from the box without any injury, but two outside passengers in endeavouring to clear the coach were not so fortunate, the wheel going over the knee of Mr. Fisher, eldest son of Mr. T. Fisher, supervisor of excise, and the olher falling with such violence against the wall as nearly demolished his nose, beside* receiving several olhtr gj » ti « bruises. The horses coming in contact with the turnpike. gate, broke part of it down, hut fortunate- ly stopped the coach without any further damage. The guard and another passenger, who kept their seats, sustained no injury but what proceeded from the fright. We are happy to hear Mr. l'isher is in a fair way of recovery. On Monday afternoon a dreadful and destructive lire broke out in some farming buildings, situated about 4 miles from thc town of Chatteris, in the county of Cambridge ( the property of John Fryer, jun. Esq.) which completely destroyed an extensiv- barn, granary, and other buildings, together with 400 to 500 coombs of wheat, and several stacks, appears to have originated from a spark falliil upon some dry stubble, from a piece of lighted turf, which a labourer was carrying from one par' of the farm to another, where hc was going to bur the land. Such was tbe rapidity of the flames, that in a very few minutes the whole presented one complete body of fire; and notwithstanding ever assistance was rendered by the inhabitants Chatteris, scarcely any part of the property was saved. We are grieved to state tbat the loss is cat culated at £ 3000, not more than one third of, which was insured. 11 is lamentable to add, that many persons from a neighbouring parish were observed carrying from the premises the farming implements and every thing which it was in their power to move. It is hoped that they will be recognised aud punished. Owing to the intense heat on Wednesday last Ihe women employed in gathering peas in the gardens about London, were unable to pursue iheir occupation, although an unlimited quantity of beer was offered to them. Peas were sol however ou that day at fid. per peck. The crops of grass are abundant, and the hay- harvest is about half finished. IRELAND.—- Extract of a letter ( dated May 28th), from a Gentleman at Sligo, to Mr. Thomas Cooke, of this town :—- " Yyn will see by Ihe Papers I forwarded, that the calamity which has made such ravages in Ibe Sooth has reached us. The statements in our - Journal,' of the misery prevailing here, are rather below than beyond the truth. An Englishman who has not been in I [ eland can form no conception of tbe state of things. A sub- committee is engaged in distributing potatoes for seed, and to secure their being used for that purpose and not as food, they dispose of them cut ready for setting. A day nr two ago a poor woman with several children had a small quantity granted her, nnd no sooner were they measured out to her than one of ber little ones rushed forward and began eagerly to devour them. I doubt not we have 5or 0000 human beings in our town and its imme- diate neighbourhood ( containing 23,000 inhabitants) who do not know how to look for 24 hours' subsist- ence, and many of them, but for the exertions of our Committee, would this day bave lived upou boiled weeds, such ns nettles, & c.; and it is a com- mon sight to witness the wretched beings gathering such things out of ibe hedges as you pass along the road -- la mv opinion tbe principal immediate cause nf all this misery is want of labour. England mono- polizes every thing in the way of manufacture; and ill order lo secure to ber that monopoly, snch con- cerns are discountenanced here. For agricultural produce, and provisions, on the exportation of which in time of war Ireland flourished, there is of course no demand now. Our merchants' stores, which for- merly were all crowd and bustle, are now marked by tbe silence and stillness of the tomb. Our state at present is melancholy— our prospects gloomy for futurity, I understand we aie going to be freed from tbe Window and Hearth Taxes, which is not only just but necessary. England is doing much, but it is little compared with the debt she owes this unhappy country ; and I am happy lo see tbat Shrewsbury is coming forward in this work of m t- rev." fixt ract from a letter to the Editor of this paper, dated June 7 :—" I am at work night and day for our Poor here. You can have no conception of their situation, and you cannot devote the columns of your Journal to a better cause than that of Benevolence to your starving fellow- subjects." DISTRESS IN IRELAND.— From ihe Sligo Journal of IVednesda'/ last.—" Already our columns have announced grants from the Committee in Lon- don of two hundred pounds, of one hundred pounds, and of 100 tons of potatoes, value aboutfoiir hundred pounds, to our town and neighbourhood. Tn addi- tion to all this unparalleled bounty, we have now to state that, on the day the details contained in our paper of May 25th reached London, a further donation of three hundred pounds was voted and remitted to the Treasurer of the Committee here; and on Monday evening intelligence was received of another donation of two hundred pounds having been granted. " In recording these acts of benevolence, we are at a loss for words to express our admiration. The liberality of Britain towards our country in her present affliction, will establish an Union far more strong and permanent than any which vicinity of position or the wisest legislative ennctments could effect. In future these H » « ds shall be one in heart. Irishmen now feel that Englishmen are their thren /-' brethren who can sympathize and assist in the hour of sorrow, as well as join iu the exultations of our prosperity and triumph ;— brethren, who need no inducements of interest or prospects of return to draw forth the streams of their generosity but who spontaneously extend the hand of charity to apply Ihe healing balm toour miseries, and empty the treasures of their wealth into the lap of our poverty and wretchedness. We are proud of our connection with such a People. " We should be happy could we longer dwell in the contemplation of this august model of national virtue; but we must turn our attention lo the circum- stances which occasiuifred its display. It is our painful duty to tell our readers that, zealous aud judicious as the measures pursued by the Com- mittee for the Town and Union" have been, com- paratively little has really yet been done towards bettering the condition of our poor. About £ 90 bas been voted to answer the demands ofthe districts for the present week, being an increase of cf 60 upon tbe last. But we ask what is £ 90 to support between 7000 and 8000 souls? Three pence a- head io put- chase provisions and firing for seven days ! ! Let it be £ 300 instead of £ 90, aud each human being in the crowd would have but TOd. to Vive upou for seven days, if all were at work— a sum not more than enough to preserve life, and utterly inadequate to provide the strength requisite for industrious labour. " We cannot steel our hearts against the misery we witness, and it is useless attempting to conceal it. Our hand trembles while we note down for the press the following circumstance, selected from a mass of affecting incidents which have come to our know- ledge. We pledge ourselves for its accuracy, having received it from undoubted authority. On Monday morning last, a gentleman who is a member of one of our sub- committees had 50 head of cattle blooded. A crowd of persons assembled at the time, and began fighting for the blood, to use it instead of food! Shocked at the scene, the gentleman instantly threw open his meal- store to satisfy the cravings of the people, and prevent them from resorting to a measure exceeded only by cannibalism.— This occurrence took place within the range of our Town Committee's labours. " How or when the present state of things will terminate, we cannot foretel. On the testimony of the medical profession we add, that cases of fever are daily increasing in number and malignancy ; and our prospects are indeed gloomy when contagion begins its ravages at this season among the poor, where four or five families are crowded together in a hovel, compared with which many a stable is a mafrs- frm. We trust, however, that our population, notwithstanding all their sufferings and privations, will still preserve to themselves that " good name" which we know, on the highest authority, " is better than great riches." The Dublin papers of last week are filled with most melancholy details; and the private letters state tbat the accounts in the public journals are but faint representations of the actual scenes they describe.

Approved Remedy for Weakness of ihe Sio- mich.— Persons of Bilious Habits, or who are subject to Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Sickness, Pains, and Complaints in the Stomach and Bowels, and other symptoms resulting from a weakened or deranged state of the digestive Organs, are earnest- ly rceommendrd to make use of TOWERS'STONIC PILLS, as one of the safest and most certain remedies ever recommended to public notice. Mild, but effectual in their operation, they cleanse and yet strengthen the stomach, restore the appetite, promote digestion, and keep the bowels in a regular and comfortable state, free from costiveness, but by no means too relaxed.

HOLLAND'S BANKRUPTCY.— The third meet, ing of the commissioners in the bankruptcy of Samuel Phillips Holland, late an extensive hop- merchant aud factor of Worcester, was held on Tuesday lasl, at thc Star and Garter Inn. The bankrupt having been summoned to appear, in the customary manner, at this, as at two previous meetings, to make a disclosure of his effects, and having failed to do so, the commissioners continued their sitting on Tuesday until past twelve o'clock, when proclamation was made calling upon him lo surrender himself upon pain of death, and by his non- appearance his life becomes forfeited. There are circumstances of gross fraud and delinquency in this ( the second) defalcation of Holland, who, we understand, is now in America, whereto he absconded a short time before the docket was struck, taking with him a considerable sum of money. On Thursday las , an inquest was held at Oxford, on Ihe body of Thomas Musgrave, Esq. aged 20, Commoner uf University College, youngest son of the late Sir John Chardin Musgrave, Bart, of Eden Hall, Cumberland, who was unfortunately drowned, near IfHey, on the preceding evening, by accidentally falling over the side of a boat. Every exertion was immediately made to recover the body, and as soon as it was found, the means recommended by the Humane Society lo restore animation were instantly resorted to, but as twenty- five minutes had elapsed before it was found, they were ^ unavailing. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidentally Drowned. WA3LES. MARRIED. On Thursday last, the Rev. Francis Lear, M. A. nf Downton, Wilts, to Isabella Mary, daughter of the Lord Bishop of BaWor.

On Wednesday, tbe 5th inst. at Newtown, in the county of Montgomery, the Rev. George Lewis, D. D. Theological Tutor of the North Wales Independent Academy : " a Prencher, such as Paul, Were be on earth, would hear, approve, and own. Simple, grave, sincere ; In Doctrine uncorrupt; in language plain, And plain in manner; decent, solemn, chaste, And natural in gesture ; much impress'd Himself, as conscious of his awful charge, And anxious mainly that the flock he feeds May feel it too; affectionate in look, And tender in address, as well becomes A messenger of grace to guilty men. Behold the picture ! Is it like ? Direct me in a quip Or merry turn in all he ever wrote, He was serious in a serious cause, Aud understood too well tbe weighty terms, That he had tak'n in charge.

On the 28th ult. at Newmead, Radnorshire, in the 94th year of her age, Mrs. Davies, relict of John Davies, Esq. of that place; she was the last of the issue of John Bowen, Esq. of the ancient bouse of Gurrey, Carmarthenshire, by Ann, tbe only child and heiress of Marmaduke Lloyd, Esq. of Llan y cryse, Brecoushire. On the2d inst. at Manchester, Mr, Thomas Davies, eldest son of the late Mr. Thomas Davies, bulcher, of Groes Onnen, Llanasa. The death of Capt. Greet, of Beaumaris, in consequence of the upsetting of the Mail from Chester to Holyhead ( by w hich he was a passenger), was noticed in our last Journal.— An inquest was subsequently held, and the Jury returned a Verdict of " Manslaughter" against the coachman, who has been committed to Flint Gaol. Ou Wednesday last, a female servant at thc farm of Gellywren, in tbe parish of Llangafelach, Gla- morganshire, was struck dead by lightning. The electric fluid came down the chimney into the kitchen, where the deceased and two others were sitting. The cap and hair of the sufferer were much burnt. Her two companions escaped without injury. By a letter received from Merthxjr yesterday, we are happy to learn that the accounts which have appeared in various papers of the distress and discontent in the Iron- works bave been GREATLY EXAGGERATED. At present there are no fur. naces out of blast except one, which is shut on account of the death of the principal proprietor, and there is a prospect of advance in the priee of iron; which of course is symptomatic of increase of trade.— Bristol Gazette. In consequence of the discussions which have taken place in Parliament respecting Extents in Aid, il is the intention of the Barons of tho Exchequer to make it a Rule of Court that no fiat shall be granted for an Extent in Aid, unless the Court shall be satisfied by the affidavit of Ihe party applying, or of others, that, for the purpose of enabling bim to pay the Crown's debt, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that tbe debt for which the Extent iu Aid is required should be recovered. Our readers may recollect, that some months ago we detailed a law case, in which Mr. Pearson, on the part of two women, Anne Carey, and Mary Anne Evans, moved the Court of King's Bench against two Staffordshire gentlemen, one of them a Magistrate, for cruelty and oppression. Tbe case involved an instance of seduction, under very aggravated circumstances— such as the seducer following the young woman to America, bringing her back to London, establishing her in a handsome house, and tinally sending her a hundred pounds, and leaving her tu beggary. Ou her way to Ireland she fell ill in the neighbourhood of her seducer's seat, who, on her personally begging his assistance, procured her and her companion's commitment to Stafford gaol, as common vagrants. The case excited the attention of scleral persons in the county, and ultimately Mr. Pearson brought it before the Court of King's Bench. The Court granted a rule against the parties, and the result has been a reference to arbitration, which has assigned £ 1,350 as damages and costs, to the plaintiffs. It is very properly suggested, that chymists pre- paring oxalic acid should give it some colouring, so as to destroy its similitude to Epsom salts.

Lord Northwicic, we learn, has not only made a liberal reduction in his rents, but has promised a still further reduction, should it be necessary, being determined to " sink or swim" with his tenantry. At the last rent. dav for the Horn property, in Herefordshire, - 20 per cent, was returned to the tenants 011 the half year's rent tiien paid. At Lord Foley's Audit, held last month, he made the very liberal deduction of 15 per rent, in his rents, although the whole of his tenantry held their farms under lease. The Rev. Slade Nash, Rector of Shrawley, after having delayed his Tithe Audit from Michaelmas to May lasl, gencrcnsly reduced the ivhulc of his receipts 20 per cent. Bernard Dewes, Esq of Wellesbourne, lias not only liberally deferred the payment of his rents due at Lady day last until November next, but has also signified his intention of then returning 35 percent to all his tenants. This is in addition to a reduction of 111 per cent, already made by Ihe above gentleman. The cultivation of flax in England is becoming more general.

EGERTON JEFFREYS, Secretary, THE OLD SOLDIER. [ Mr. ROBERT ELOOMHELD, author nf " The Farmer's Bt'i," & c. has published a new work, entitled " May- Day with thc Muses." The following extract describes the sensations of an old soldier ou his return to his native place, after the Peninsular War.] But what on lmrir was thai, when from the main 3 reaeh'd this lovely valley once again ! A glorious harvest fill'd irtv eager sight, Half shock'd, half waving in a flood uf light; <> » that poor cottage- root w here I was hum; The SIM lonk'd down as in life's early morn. I gazed around, but not a soul nppcur'd ; 1 lisleii'd on Ihe threshold,— nothing heard. J eall'd my falhcr thrice, but no oiie rami' ; It was not fear or grief tiiat shook my frame, " But an o'erpnwering sense of peace and liinue, Of toils gone hv, perliaps of joys to come. Tlie door invitingly stood open wide, ) shook my dust, and set mv staff aside ; Ho" sweet il was to breathe tliil cooler air, And take possession'of my father's chair! Beneath my elbow, on the solid frame, Appcnr'd the sough initials of my name, Cut fnriv years before! the same old clock S; rnck the' same hell, and gave iny heart a shock J never call forget. A short breeze sprung, Aiid while a1 sigh was trembling on iny tongue, Caught the old dangling almanacks behind, Aiid~ up they flew, like banners in the wind ; Then gently, singly, down, down, down, they went, And told of'twenty'years that I had spent Tar froiu my unlive land that instant came A robin On " llie threshold ; I ho* so tame, At first he loofc'd distrustful, almost shy, And cnsl nn nie his coal- black steadfast eye. And seeui'd to say, fpnst friendship to renew,) " Ah ha ! old worn- out soldier, is it you :" * * * f * Bnt here was peace, thnf peace which home call yield; The grasshopper, the partridge in the Held, And ticking clock, were ull at once become The substitutes for clarion, fif » , nnd drum. While tlitis I mused, still gazing, gazing still, On beds of inoss that spread the window sill, 1 deeni'd no moss my eyes had ever seen, Had been so lovely, brilliant, fresh, and green, And guess'd some infant hand had it placed there; And prized its hue,— so exquisite, so rare. » * * * f Two shadows then 1 saw, two voices heard, One bespoke age, and one a child appenr'd,— In stepp'il my father, with convulsive start, And in nn instant clasp'd me to liis heart. Close by him stood a little blue- ey'd maid. And, stooping to ( he child, the old man said, " Come hither, Nancy, kiss me once again ; 14This is your uncle Charles, come home from Spain :*' The child opproach'd, and with her lingers light, Striked my old eyes, almost deprived of sight. But why thus spin my tale, thus tedious be ? Happy old soldier! w hat's Ihe world to me ? TO TUE CUCKOO. Toii noisy rogue, you're come again* To haunt tlie woody Wake and plain, And rudely rob the fealher'd train— Of prom is'd joys! Vou put their little hearts in fear, They tremble when you do appear, Aud you insult the married ear ! f Abusive noise! O pray why should you e'er expect Another will your young protect, Which you so cruel do neglect, J Quite unconcern'd! You frolic thro' the Summer day, No bird more wanton, none more gay, And then you slyly fly away, § Quite unconcern'd! * The cuckoo is directed hither by that constitu- tion of the air which causes the fig- tree to put forth its fruits. f The note is so uniform, that the name in all languages seems to have bpeu derived from it, and in all countries it is used iu the same reproachful sense. J Buff on enumerates twenty sorts of nests at least, in which they have deposited their eggs ; but, according to Dr. Jeriner's observation, they show a greater partiality to the hedge- sparrow. ^ In migrating, the major part of the cuckoos are supposed to go into Africa. LATE THOMAS DEVEY, ESQ. are represented as having been playing. Yon can- not show your face in sociely again." On examina- tion he found five or six different reports, varying in language; but all coloured and distorted alike ; and instead of having been the victim ofa conspiracy, he was made , to appear the chief, if not the only conspirator. No assertions were made, lint every thing was iil'siuuated, and Ihe arguments of the adverse counsel were artfully introduced ns facts in the case. His' attorney went tn the newspaper offices, and an explanation was admitted ; hut all the world had read and enjoyed the original libel, while few fell any into rat in' reildiiig the explanation. Ile suffered accordingly, a'litl for years afterwards ihe libel continued lo be adduced against liiui, to Ins personal auiw » ynnce and commercial injury. Oue paper alone had omitted thf report, and, finding that he bad'paid so dearly for his independ- ence, lie now sought its editor,, and though he scorned to become his oat, reporter, yet lie had the promise of this person that the perverted report should not appear, lu the mean time the disap- pointed party in Ihe cause ( who it afterwards ap- peared had heen applied to by the same chevalier d'Industrie, and bad paid him his retaining fee,) made application In one of the proprietors of the paper in question; aud, on paying ±' 25, was per- mittcd to insert his own repoit, which blackened my friend from bend lo foot, lie now brought bis action for defamation, but withdrew it oil the pro- prietor giving up the names of Ihe ai tliors, when thev proved to he the very parties wilh whom he had had the suit. Againsi these scoundrels, who were hankers of fair reputation, he uow re com- menced his action ; hut, owing to various circum- stances and technicalities of lengthened detail, Ihe question was never brought lo trial, and finally he had his ow n expenses lo pav. On anothei occasion, a noted courtezan pleaded her coverture as a defence against some debts of her own, by which several unsuspecting tradesmen suf- fered then and afterwards; and, ou my expressing iny surprise that the circumstance never transpired in the papers, she replied, " I contrived belter, 1 insured my character." " Aye," ( said 1,) where is the office, and w hat is the premium >" _ " Why, ( said she), the office was in the box ofa coffee- house near Westminster llnll, and the premium £ 25, lo he distri- buted among several gentlemen of the press for the benefit of their wives and children, and you know I love tn he charitable." " Gracious Heaven, ( said I,) nnd is lliis the use arid abuse of the press, nnd aie these the persons who inveigh with such eloquence against corruption ?" On subsequently mentioning this nefarious system in different circles, 1 was told, iu parlia entary phraseology, ttiat it is as notorious as the sun ut noon- day, and lhat the Courts of Law nre beset by needy scribblers, some of whom are not even con- nected with any newspaper, but represent themselves as reporters, or as having interest with tln. se pro- tector. nf character, or wholesale dealers in defama- tion. Hence, however; it is, that few men have the hardihood to defend their property in a Court of law, nt Ihe double hazard of losing, not only their pro- perty, hy the inaiitEiivres of the profession, hut their character also, hy the manoeuvres of the press. I have heen told, that even Members of Parliament, and all public men, pay tribute. In reference to the above subject, the following extract from a notice of the late Mr. P. Fmnerty, ill the Monthly Magazine, may be taken as a con- firmalion:— " It must not be dissemble*)!, that during the time in which Mr. F. was an associate, and very active reporter for the press, unwarrantable liberties have often heen taken with public proceedings, the public confidence grossly abused, and the efforts and useful ambition of many good men rendered unavailing. Whether Mr. F. was the ngent of the Morning Chronicle, who made it subservient to his own piques or policy, we know not, lint that paper has suffered in ils public character for many years for its palpable sins of omission, nnd forth? parenthetical insinuations of some of ils reporters, of whom Mr. F. was know n to be the most active. Tint, an able and eloquent speech, clearly the hot at a meeting, was often cut off' wilh " Mr. spoke," simply because some dislike existed in ihe mind . if ihe reporter, and which he imparted to his Inclined. We have not room for details, but this and similar practiccs are notorious, and they have tended to bring tile newspaper- press into much discredit. We cannot wonder that patriotism is baffled, if the ascendancy of the press, ils best bulwark, is con- stantly exerted against everv new labourer in the service of his country, and if we nre to he served only bv those who flatter, coax, or bribe, the re- porters for the press. To what extent tliic bail spirit has operated, or how far Mr. F. may have been a party ill fostering il, we do not affect to determine; hut i'l is notorious that it has long existed, and has been of late years a growing evil, and, therefore, deserves to be thus noticed, thai it may be corrected." previous ftrraitgfniPnt, wa « my only molivc for incur- ring the trouble and expense of a Chancery suit.

He was a warm advocate and admirer of the British Constitution, aud of those excellent principles inculcated ill her Established Church. In 1803 he becatnc first captain in the Morfe and Royal Oak company of Light Infantry, lo society he was remarkably cheerful, convivial, nud agreeably entertaining, with a great fund of local nnd interesting anecdote. Generous, charitable, and kind- hearted, he was ever happy ill contributing to the wants nnd necessities of his poor neighbours in their distress. He was paternally descended from a long line of ancestors, for ages sealed within the manor of Patlingbam, near Bridgnorth, even ns early as the reign of Edward II. from whence his immedi- ate progenitor removed during the Protectorate of Cromwell, lo Kingslow, an adjoining hamlet iu Woi field, having married the heiress of estates at that place, and descended from the ancient family of Kingslow of Kingslow, which was resident there in the reigns of Edward 111.

Complaints are frequently made of thc partial and incorrect manner in which the reports of pro- ceedings in thc London Courts of Law, ami at public meetings in the Metropolis, arc given in the Newspapers. The following observations on the subject, extracted from thc unpublished writings of the late Alexander Stevens, Esq. of Park House, Chelsea, arc, it is feared, founded too much upon fact; and may tend to shew how the conductors of provincial Papers and the Public at large are fre- quently misled by the statements published in the London Prints :—• A friend of mine, a man of Ihe strictest honour, bad a cause tried in a court of law, of which be bad scarcely heard of his success, before a Mr. C. was announced. MI ain u writer for the papers ( said be), und have to rrpnrt on your trial to- day, and conceiv- ing you would wish it to he properly reported, have called to offer my services." " Of course ( said my friend), I wish the cause, if reported, to be honestly described; but, as you so obligingly offer your services, perhaps you expect some compensation." " Oh, yes! ( rejoined the gentleman) we always expect a compliment on these occasions." " We! ( said the other) what, are there several to be paid." " Ob, no ! ( replied the other) I wns the only reporter present, but we assist one another, and the compli- ments of lliis kind which wc receive go to a common purge : whatever you think proper to give will be divided ar - ing seven or eight of us. Some parties give five, some ten pounds; and we sometimes get, on particular occasions, as high a compliment as fifty pounds." " Indeed ! ( exclaimed iny friend) and what if the parties refuse to give any thing?" " Oh, then, sir ( rejoined Ihe gentleman J, the thing takes ils course ; there are, you know, two ways of telling a story, and at least the speeches of the counsel always afford materials." My friend now lost his patience. " Pest and nuisance, ( he exclaimed,) bow many are hanged ond transported for demanding money on Ihe highway under circumstances of less turpitude; leave inv house, or I will charge a con- stable with you." The gentleman quickly retreated, muttering as be departed. Mv friend, whose cause bad to liini been nn affair of self- defence to defeat a nefarious combination, ami who never before had been cither plaintiff or defendant, mentioned the application of the gentleman of thc press in the course of the day, us an instance of attempted ex- tortion. Ile was even offended when some of his friends shook iheir heads and portended mischief. He slept easy ; hut, on the following morning, his neighbours came running one after another with different papers, exclaiming, " Good God, sir, yon mined! Behold the nefarious part which you RETRACTATION. A few years ago, Mr. Lawrence, the celebrated anatomist, published a volume of Lectures, in which the materiality of the Soul, and other topics, were handled in sucb a manner as to be justly considered very objectionable by all who venerate the principles and the precepts of Christianity. Mr. Lawrence, finding his reputation suffer in consequence, was induced to suppress the work. But the book having got abroad, several of those self- electcd Patriots, who, under pretence of advo- cating Reform and the Freedom of the Press, are publishing every opinion which can have a tendency to excite persons to join in endeavouring to over- throw the Religion and Government of the Country, took upon themselves to issue an edition of the work. Mr. Lawrence, in order to put a stop to this surreptitious sale, applied to the Lord Chan- cellor for an injunction ; when his Lordship, after perusing the work, said, he considered the opinions expressed in it to be of such a nature that the law of this christian country would not sanction, and that therefore he could not grant an injunction, which was a thing granted by the law for the pro- tection of a man's literary property, and not to protect him as a sole vender of opinions which were obnoxious to tbe principles on which the laws of the country were founded. The work, instead of being protected as a person's property, his Lord- ship said, ought to be prosecuted ; but the present proceeding was not a prosecution, aud therefore he could take no further cognizance of the matter, but must dismiss the application."— Since this result of the above proceeding, Mr. Lawrence has circu- lated the following retractation of the obnoxious sentiments, in the form of a letter to Sir Richard Carr Glynn :— 44 College of Physicians, April 16. 44 DEAR SIR— The renewed publication by others, over whom 1 have no controul, of the work which I suppressed three years ago, induces me to offer a few observations on the subject, and to present them, through you, to the Governors of Bridewell and Betli- lem. The motives and circumstances of the sup- pression are detailed in a letter to Mr. Harrison, through whose medium it was communicated to the Governors of the two Hospitals; and this letter, I conclude, is entered on the minutes of their proceed- ings. Further experience and reflection have only tended to convince me more strongly that the publi cation of certain passages in these writings was highly improper; to increase my regret at having sent them forth to the world ; lo make trie satisfied with the measure of withdrawing them from public circulation; and consequently firmly resolved, not only never to reprint them, but also never to publish any thing more on similar subjects. Fully impressed with these sentiments, I hoped and concluded that my Lectures would iu future be regarded only as professional writings, and be referred to merely by medical readers. The copies which have gone out of my possession, from tlie time when the sale was discontinued to the late decision of the Lord Chan- cellor, which has enabled all who may choose to print and publish my Lectures, have therefore heen granted only as a matter of favour in individual instances to professional men, particularly foreigners, or to scientific and literary characters. My expect- ations have been disappointed by the piratical act of a bookseller in the Strand, named Smith. When his reprint of my Lectures was announced, 1 adopted the only measure which could enable me to continue the suppression ofthe work, namely, an application to the Court of Chancery for an injunction against this person, being encouraged by the decided favour- able opinion of the two eminent Counsel before whom tlie case was laid. The course of argument adopted by these gentlemen in the proceedings which ensued, was that which they deemed hest calculated to attain mv object— the permanent suppression of the book. It is not to be regarded as a renewed statement, or defence, on iny part, of opinions which I had already withdrawn from the public, and the continued suppression of w hich, iu conformity to mv health, sound contributions that xmedical science can offer to humanity. Believing the following remarks on the use of flannel, which we have extracted from a medical treatise, to afford information useful and interesting to all classes of the community, we conceive it a matter of duty to present them to our readers:— 44 When flarinel is vrorn next to the skin, it is almost invariably the practice to keep it on by night as well as by day. This is not only unneces- sary, but injurious. The chief advantage of using a flannel dress next to the skin results, not from the actual warmth imparted or retained, an effect which might be obtained to air equal extent by an increase of outward clothrug, but from the uni- formity of temperature thus insured to so large a portion of the surface of the body, and the tendency which this has to keep the highly important, but too much neglected, functions of the skin, in an active aud healihly condition. During the day, the frequent and oftentimes sudden, vicissit udes of our climate are such as to render the effects of flannel in pre- serving an equality of temperature most valuable. But at night, and during sleep, we are subject to no such vicissitudes ; consequently, the same ne- cessity for the use of flannel does not then exist. But while the use of flannel at night thus appears to be unnecessary, there are several considerations which show it to be injurious. These considerations regard both the condition of the body and of the flannel itself. Whatever the wants of the body for warmth during the night may be, they are in general fully supplied by the bed- clothes in ordi- nary use. The body requires no extraordinary warmth during sleep ; on the contrary, there is at such times even a tendency to an increase of the natural warmth. When to this natural tendency the heat caused by flannel worn next the skin is super- added, the effect is to keep the skin in a state of considerable excitement, and to induce perspiration more or less profuse. These effects are not calcu- lated to prepare the body for enduring the vicissi. tude of the ensuing day, but rather to render it more susceptible of injury. Again, the property which render woollen cloth so eminently suited to the purposes in view, is that of its being a slow conductor of heat. This property is dbectly pro- portionate to its dryness, and is greatly impaired by its imbibing humidity of any kind. A flannel dress, however, lhat is worn next the skin through- out the night, becomes so charged with perspira- tion, that its power of conducting heat is thereby greatly increased, and its preservative effects pro- port ionably diminished 44 Here, then, is a twofold injury resulting from Ihe prevailing practice of continuing the flannel dicss during sleep, namely, a diminution of the preservative powers of the flannel, and an increased susceptibility of the skin. By laying aside the flannel dress on going to bed, and substituting one of coaise calico, the body is kept in that temper- ature during the night which fits it for encounter- ing the vicissitudes of the following day, while the flannel is preserved from the deteriorating effects of the nightly perspiration, and is resumed in the morning in a state which contributes both to comfort and protection. A difficulty is experi- enced with most people who have accustomed themselves to the nightly use of flannel, in inducing them to alter the habit. Fear of taking cokl creates one great obstacle, and disibclinatiion to the feeling of cold experienced at the moment of changing the flannel for tbe calico night dress, especially in the winter season, is another. Con- fidence iu the medical adviser, however, is sufficient to overcome the first, and a very little experience to remove the latter; for after a very few trials the proposed change is found to prove a decided gain, even on the score of sensation; and the gratification derived from resuming a dry and comfortable flannel in the morning, together with the sensible increase of its utility during the day, are found to compensate amply the slight un- pleasantness attending the momentary exposure of the preceding night.' On lice Distresses nf the Times. [ FROM TUB GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE ] With a view to a diminution of the great public xpense attending the making the island of Ber- muda a safe and convenient naval port, it is in- tended to employ about 300 convicts in carrying on the labourers' work. The Coromandcl and Tor- toise ( store ships) are to be fitted at Portsmouth, for their conveyance thither ; the former to remain nd lie at the island as a depot for thejtw during the execution of the works.

A commuted sentence has been received for the six colliers who were convicted of the murder of Cook the watchman, at Wolverhampton; they are to be severally imprisoned and kept to hard labour one year, and to find sureties for their good be- haviour for two years more, themselves in £ 50 and two sureties in £ 10 each. On Sunday week, a man brought a small coffin to the sexton of Ashton Church, to bury, repre- senting it as containing the body of a still- born child, and gave the sexton five shillings for his trouble, instead of one, the usual fee. The sexton boasted afterwards, to some persons, of this good reward, and the circumstance immediately created suspicion in the churchwardens, who ordered the coffin to be taken up; when was found in it the body of a child about three months old, strangled. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the mother of the child was committed to Lancaster Castle, for Wilful Murder. AN EAST SUSSEX TALE.— Says thc busy tongue of fame, a mercer who resided in this part of the county, having had an amour, which time placed a periodical mark upon, with his female servant, to hide her shame and his own weakness, provided a private lodging for her in the metropolis, where he intended she should snugly remain till time's mark became obliterated ; hut, neglecting a remit- tance to her, and she being consequently compelled to write to him for a supply ofthe needful, her letter ( he being from home when it was delivered) fell into the hands of his wife, who opened it, read its contents, carefully re sealed it, and on his return gave it to him, saying 4 here's a letter for you, my dear,' which having read ( of course to himself ), he exclaimed, 44 Bless me, my dear * there is a sale of silks, to- morrow, at the India. House ; 1 must be off for London :" and having previously made preparations, took an affectionate leave of her for the journey. His good- humoured wife, however, resolved to enjoy the joke at the expense of her inconstant spouse's mortification went post, and arrived at the lodgings of her riva, a little before him, and at the moment the murk had removed from its pristine habitation, to make a noise in this world of sin; and attending the door on, his arrival, said, 44— Walk in, my dear the sale has just begun, and the first lot is knocked down to you !" A SINGULAR FIRM.— An Insurance Company at Cadiz once took the Virgin Mary into formal partnership, covenanting to set aside her profits for the enrichment of her shrine in that city. Not doubting that she would protect every vessel in which she had such a manifest interest, they underwrote ships of all sorts at such rates that, in a few months, the infatuated partners were all declared bankrupts. That Agriculture is suffering, and that many poor creatures are consequently reduced from reasonable affluence and comfort to absolute or relative want, is a truth greatly to he deplored; but, in the midst of this distress, how dreadful it is to observe a number of heartless politicians, urging the miserable to acts of desperation, and encouraging a hold spirit of rebellion and anarchy throughout the land! O! that men would he of one mind in this hour of fearful rritation. O! that the rich, the great, and the good, would fearlessly unite to remedy the evil, not to increase the affliction'.— Alas! they do not so; on the contrary, there are a number of able, wealthy, and we are called upon to presume, well- meaning men, who combine all the strength which rank and riches, and ability, can call forth, to calumniate and to degrade the Government, and to inflame the minds of the people, to believe, that all the hardships, which an expensive hut necessary war, inclement seasons, defective harvests, and seditious traitors by tlieir unceasing and wicked exertions, have pro- duced, are hut the natural consequences of a wicked conspiracy amongst the members of Administration against the rights, the liberty, and the happiness of mankind. If the same persons, many of whom arrogate to themselves a character of superior philanthropy, would only do that justice to others, which tbey exact when they imagine their own privileges have been injured, we should not hear of insurrections, er rumours of domestic disturbances,— we should not have the sacred tranquillity of onr homes broken by fears, or harassed hy continual watchings. If. instead of crying aloud to the lowest, the most igno- rant, and the most wicked, and prostituting a free press, hy publishing daily to the world, that the ministration of Government is in the hands of fools or knaves— that ruin is inevitable,— and reform, even in revolution, a premise, and the only premise of better times— if, instead of such conduct, they would recommend a pious submission to the will of Provi- dence, and a patient waiting for that benevolence, to hich in England will not suffer a poor man to ask relief in vain; and at the same time endeavour to Convince the people, that they have every thing to hope for in the wisdom of that Government, which justly boasts itself to be ihe purest system of ethics the ingenuity of. man did ever form upon the model of Divine Legislation; then we should have peace in the land, and time would restore to us all the blessings— which God for wise purposes has sus- pended, but not utterly taken from us. Alas! these state physicians, at a moment when the disease is at its climax, in the very fervour of a feverish paroxysm, feed the mischief, and stimulate tbe restless spirits to acts of phrenzy. If wise and good men do not now unite aud teach the ignorant to be reasonable in their wants and just in their demands, the evil of to- day will he increased tenfold to- morrow, arid the end will be, God only knows how, horrible! Ail things in this world take their course Under the ruling hand of Providence, which can alone controul them, and the alterations and vicissitudes which attend all the various conditions of life, are matters of deep regret and complicated anxiety. No rank— no station— no kind or degree— no condition whatsoever is exempt, or entitled to he exempt, from the occasional visitations of calamity and loss. Commerce at one time exalted her children to the loftiest eminence, and our merchants towered above the highest summits of practicable prosperity— she withdrew her support and countenance, and her children then fell hack, and down to the depths of unforeseen affliction. Our manufactures at one lime bore an exalted preference in every market in the known world; at another, every port was shut against them, or they were warehoused a worse than useless, unprofitable drug, and the poor labourer, by whose ingenuity they had heen wrought, was irged by want, and the evil advice and wicked nfluence of miscreant traitors, into open rebellion. The ports again are open— the markets free— compe- tition has revived, and British skill and British ndustry have again turned the manufacturer to his loom and his anvil, tired if not ashamed ofhis sedi- tious associates, and anxious to retrieve, with the comforts of domestic security and pence, his integrity of character, and his character for integrity. The wheel of Time is burthened with continual vicissitudes; a few years only have passed away nee Agriculture was tbe golden idol of universal adoration. Men were mad in their devotions, and sacrifices were made with a zeal as blind as that with hich the votaries of Brahma or Vishnu bend before the presumed omnipotence of their imaginary deities. But common sense has discovered the foolishness of this idol worship, and the insufficiency of the god. Ilis want of power to give the promised or the hoped- for good, have turned men back to more sober and more rational conclusions. To use a plainer phrase, suited to the most ordinary comprehension, we must say, that commerce nnd agriculture are equally liable to the vicissitudes, which in this life attend upon all the concerns of man. One may suffer, and the other thrive, and still they may have but one common interest. Nor are we to suppose that when trade is slack, the manufacturer is ruined, or when the season is unpro- pitious, the agriculturer is undone. Prosperity and adversity are the extremes between which the for- tunesofall who speculate in marketable commodities must oscillate with a very unequal force, and to pretend to offer methods by which to prevent or remedy evils to which our farmers or merchants are equally exposed, arising as these evils do from a complication of causes, not always controulnble at the will or by the power of human agency, were a mischievous abuse of common sense, an insult put upon the understanding, only to vex and perplex it with increased and increasing difficulties. But if no general rule or principle of action be applicable to all cases and all circumstances, cer- tainly there are local means of ameliorating the hardest of fortunes, and of suspending actual or threatened evils until better times give more than a prospect of returning prosperity. I shall not attempt to discuss what are the means which the legislative wisdom of Parliament may liink fit to adopt for the relief of our present dis- tress ; nor will I say what is the impression upon my ind as to the wisdom of any legislative interference whatsoever, in a matter so simple in the estimation of many, in the opinion of others big with the fatal seeds of civil discord, revolution, and ruin ; but long- habits of experience in the minor administration of parochial affairs ( in which, by the way, from the oppressive operation of the poor laws, the chief interests of the agriculturist are mainly concerned), will justify a piece of admonition, grounded upon no wild theory, no extravagant prejudice, no unknown uncertain data. Let every parish in the kingdom become the seat of Government for its own security ; a few provisions from the Statute Book will be sufficient to invest with power to do such good the most opulent, the most interested, and the most benevolent of those who are from their wealth, the stake they have at issue, and their charitable dispositions, justly en- titled to take the lead, and efficiently to administer tbe laws made for the common welfare of all classes and every description of persons. There may and must be wisdom in the multitude of counsellors ; but there is likewise so much of pride and envy, ignorance and uneharitableness, ostentation and folly, w here great numbers assemble, even for the best of purposes, that the few in these cases will always have an advantage over the many ; and more useful business will be done, and it will be better done, in a Select than in a General Vestry. Let then the appointment of this beneficial institution take place every where : be the good as universal as our wants! The 43d of Eliz. although conceived in wisdom, and fraught with benevolence, according to that period, came forth to the world, impregnated with the seeds of many grievous calamities. It is scarcely too much to affirm, that the greater part of the distress which hears so heavily upon Agriculture in the present season of her affliction, arises out of the necessary, unavoidable, and, as it is too probable, the unalterable operation of the poor laws. Be this, however, at it may, some beneficial grafts have sprung from the parent stoek, and it will be wise to profit in the assurance of some certain good, lo counteract very serious and accumulating evils. By this Act of Elizabeth, iheadministration of all parochial matters, as relating to the relief and em- ployment of the poor, is placed in tbe hands of certain officers, who, from their presumed occupa- tions, were properly styled overseers. But. too little discretion has been hitherto observed in the selection of persons to discharge this very important trust, - and the rules which regulate their duties and the time of Iheir continuance in office, have been found very insufficient to the useful purposes for which they were originally designed. But a recent Act of Parliament has empow- ered parishes to appoint, iu the character of an assistant, an officer of increased usefulness, and very efficient powers, a Perpetual Overseer, paid for his services by the mmure of his abilities and their reasonable application to the public good; and the good he really does, must afford far greater advantages than can be expected from the unwilling and reluctant labours of persons compelled to make larger sacri- fices of personal comfort, convenience, and interest, in the discharge of a painful, thankless trust. After the most mature deliberation, my reason tells me, and experience confirms the truth of her admonition, that wherever a Select Vestry and a Permanent Overseer mutually do their respective duties, without fear or influence, and wholly under the guidance of the authority committed to them by Parliament, a great part of the difficulties now com- plained of will he ameliorated, the farmer he relieved from many heavy burthens, and the honest deserving poor be amply provided with employment and bread. ON THE CLIMATE OF LONDON. [ From the Review of Mr. Howard's Work.] It is scarccly necessary to stale, that the source of atmospheric temperature is the sun, and that, generally speaking, the mean teuipeiaturc of any place on tbe earth's surface is proportioned to its distance from the equator, or mean station of the sun's path in the ecliptic. This is the general fact; but in temperate climates, this general, or, as it mav be named, astronomical law of temperature, is modi- fied in a very considerable degree by causes operating at ( lie earth's surface. From these causes, some of which are obvious, it results, thai the maximum and minimum tempera- tures of our climate, iu place of coinciding with the solstices, are removed lo a whole month afler these; and in like manner, the mean temperature of the year is developed about a month after either equinox. In consequence of this fact, which is fairly deduced from actual observation. Mr. Howard is led to pro. pose a new division of the seasons, which, assuredly, is more consonant with the actual phenomena 011 the earth's surface amid which we live, than the pre- sent, which has regard only lo tbe remote causes of temperature, nnd not to Ihe actual temperature which exists around us, and which, it must be ad- mitted, is tbe prime agent in the production of all the events hy which we distinguish and denominate the seasons. This natural division is effected by " re. moving the beginning of ihe seasons fifteen days from their respective present situations, ond placing them at that distance before the equinoxes and solstices." By this arrangement, " Spring will begin the 6th of March, at the tern- peralure ( for London) of 39' 94 degrees, will occupy 93 days, nnd end nn the 6th of June nl ihe tempera- ture of 58 08 degrees— the temperature having risen 18* 14 degrees. " Summer will begin on the 7th of June, and will last 93 days ; during which space the mean tempera- ture ( of London) will have risen froin 58 08 degrees to 64' 75, or 6 07 degrees, and have declined again 6 5!) degrees. " Autumn, beginning on the 8th of September, at 5816 degrees, will have 90 days; during which the mean iemperature will have declined 18' 35 degrees. " Winter, comprehending 89 days ( or in leap years 90) will begin December the 7th.— During this season the mean diurnal temperature hnviiig" fallen 5' 36 degrees ( viz. to 34,45 degrees), will hnve again risen 5' 49 degrees, or to 39' 94 on the 5lh of March, the concluding day of the season." _ We must notice the singular, and to us unexpected circumstance, of the temperature nf the air in London being raised, by the artificial sources of heat existing in it, two degrees, 011 tlie annual mean, above that of the immediate vicinity. This conclusion hns been deduced by Mr. H. from comparing his own observa- tions made at Plaistow, Stratford, and Tottenham Green ( all within four miles of London), with those recorded iu the Philosophical Transactions for thirty years, and which were made at Ihe apartments of the Royal Society in London. Mr. Howard's explanation of this singular difference is the following : " That the superior temperature of the bodies of men and animals is capable of elevating, in a small proportion, the mean heat of a city or populous tract of country in a temperate latitude, is a proposition which will scarcely be disputed. Wbnever hns passed his hand over the surface of a glass hive, whether in summer or winter, will have perceived how much the little bodies of Ibe collected multitudes of bees are capable of healing the place that contains them. But the proportion of warmth which is induced in a city by the population, innsl be far less considerable than that which emanates frnm tires, the greater part of which nre kept up for the very purpose of preventing the sensation attending the escape of bent from our bodies. A temperature equal to that of spring is hence maintained, in the depth of wioter, in ihe included part of Ihe atmosphere, which, ns it escapes froin the houses, is constantly renewed : another and more considerable portion of heated air is constantly poured into the common mass from tbe chimneys : to • which, lastly, wc have to add Ihe bent diffused in all directions from Ihe founderies, breweries, sleam- engines, and oilier manufacturing and culinary fires " ( Vol. ii. p. 104). To these direct additions of extraneous heat, Mr. Howard adds the augmentation derived, in summer, from the accumulation of the natural temperature by the artificial condition nf the oil v. " Several causes may be supposed to contribute to this : tbe country presents for the most part a plain surface, which radiates freely to tbe skv,—- the citv, in great pari, a collection of vertical surfaces, which reflect on each other, the heat tbey respectively ac- quire; the country is freely swept by the light winds of summer,— the city, from its construction, greatly impedes their passage, except at a certain height above the buildings; tbe country has an almost in- exhaustible store of moisture to supply its evapora- tion,— that of the citv is very speedily exhausted, even after heavy rain."—( Vol. ii. p. 106). From these, nnd other considerations, Mr. Howard seems perfectly justified in considering the actual temperature of London, ns ascertained by the ther- mometer, to be considerably greater than the natural temperature of the locality, had no city existed there. And he further thinks that the relative pro- portions which the actual temperatures nf London and the immediate vicinity bear to each other, in the different portions of the diurnal period, and in the different seasons of the yenr, afford very satisfactory evidence that the artificial nnd accidental causes to which he attributes the superior temperature of the city, are the true ones. The excess of the ci: v tem- perature is least in spring nnd greatest in winter : and seems to belong entirely " to the night. s, which average tlnee degrees and seven- tenths warmer than the country, while Ihe heat of the days, owing with- out doubt to the interception ofa portion of the solar rays by a constant veil of smoke, falls, on a mean of years, about a third of a degree short of lhat on the open plain." The greatest hetit to which the climate of London is liable is 96 degrees; Ihe greatest cold is— 5 degrees: thus the full range of the thermometer is not less than 100 degrees. A temperature above 80 degrees is almost always followed, either in our own or the neighbouring districts, by thunder storms, which, in tlieir turn, nre succceded by rain and a reduction of heal. Ow ing lo our insular situation, and other causcs, " even in the coldest season of the year, thc medium of thc twenty- four hours, upon a long average, does not fall below the freezing point. Continued frost, in winter, is therefore always an ex- ception to the general rule of the climate." The following is the mean temperature of the different months, in whule numbers, in the vicinil v of London : January 34 degrees, February 39 degrees, March 41 degrees, April 46 degrees, May 55 degrees, June 58 degrees, July 62 degrees, August 61 degrees, September 56 deg recs, October 50 degrees, November 40 degrees, December 37 degrees.— The mean ati. nual range is 72 degrees. The mean diurnal range, or difference between day nnd night is 14 degrees • nnd this varies in Ihe different months as follows' beginning witb January, 8 degrees, 10 degrees, 12 degrees, 15 degrees, 17 degrees, 18 degrees, 17 degrees, 17 degrees, 16 degrees, 13 degrees, 10 degrees, 8 degrees. A flour- mill, upon a new construction, has lately been erected, on the leat near Exeter Quay, by Mr. Abraham Richardson, of that city, which for beauty and strength, it is said, surpasses any other in the West of England. The principal wheel is twelve feet in diameter, which, together with the fall underneath it, and all the other wheels and shafts, is composed of cast iron, weighing upwards of six Ions, and is capahlc of working four pair of stones even at high water, when no other mill on the leat can work. POOR RATES.— It appears from the Parish Books of Liverpool, that in the year 1682, the sum of £ 8 was ordered to be raised for the Poor, the Population of the town being 4,500. In 170", the sum of £ 50. 2s 4d. was raised for the weekly Poor, and £ 2. 7s. Ojd. for Clothes ; Population 5,700. In 1711, the sum of £ 350; Population 8168. In 1721, tbe sum of £ 900; Population 12,000. And during last year, 1821, with a Po- pulation of 118,972, the" Parish Expenditure amounted to £ 54,221. 7s. Od. COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, JUNE 1. LORD SONDES V. FT. ETCHER. A Special Jury was impanelled in this case, to in- quire into and assess damages on a bond for £ 12,000 executed to the plaintiff' by defendant, under th « following circumstances:— The defendant, a Clergy, man, had been tutor to the noble plaintiff; nnd" in 1814, the living of Kettering, Northamptonshire, in, the gift ofhis Lordship, becoming vacant, lie offered, it to the defendant upnn certain conditions, which. Ihc defendant undertook to perform ; and thc Better to secure such performance, executed the bond in questinn, subjecting himself, by a breach ofcovenant, toa penalty not exceeding £ 12,000. Ilis Lordship had a brother, the Hon. W. Watson, preparing for ihe church, and the condition of the bond was, that the defendant, on being required to do so, should resign the living in question in fnrour of ihis indivi- dual. Mr. Watson having qualified himself tn enter 011 the living, the defendant was required to fulfil the conditions of his bond, and give up Ihe living. This, however, he refused to do, nnd upon that refusal the present proceedings were instituted. Tbe execution of the bond, & c. having heen regu- larly proved, the Solicitor- General, on the pnrt of Ihe defendant, submitted lhat this bond was an illegal instrument, and therefore that legal proceedings could not be instituted upon it. As to the facts 7> f the case, he should be able tn prove such as would, al ,! l events, reduce the damages to which the plaintiff was entitled far helmv the penalty men- tioned in the bond. The living in question " was in- deed nominally worth £ 807 n year; but this value was very much reduced by the present depressed state of agriculture. Besides ibis, the defendant was infilled tn deduct £ 61 a year for land- tax and other out- goings, nnd £ 200 for'a curate. This would reduce even the nominal value of this living lo £ 550. Mr. Watson, in whose favour lie was required to resign, was 24 years of age, and that accurate cal- culator, Mr. Morgan, nf the Equitable Office, would tell the Jury, that a fair remuneration to him would be fourteen years' purchase, or £ 7,700. This would be supposing Ihe living really worth £ 550 a- year • but he would prove tbat it feil far short of thai sum now, whatever it might have heen in the flourishing days of agriculture. In addition to this also, he submitted that the Jury would have to deduct from the damages to which the Noble Plaintiff was entitled, £ 1400 and upwards, which the defendant had ex- pended in building a new parsonage- house, the old one being, at Ihe lime he took possession of the living, iu a slate of utter dilapidation. All these circumstances, lie contended, wonld reduce the damages to a sum little more than nominal. The Learned Counsel called witnesses in support of this stali'meiit. The Chief Justice summed up, and, in doing so, observed, be would not now give any opinion whether this bond was n legal or nn illegal instrument. With that question they hnd nothing to do on tbe present occasion. The parties, if they chose, might here- after have the opinion of the highest tribunal in the kingdom on that subject. The question Ihe Jury would now have to decide would be, what was tbe amount of damage due to Ihe plaintiff, as the Jurv would recollect thai although the bond set out a penalty of £ 12,000, they were not bound to give lhat sum, hut only so much of it as Ihey considered fairly doe to the plaintiff'. His Lordship then recapitulated the facts of the case lo tbe Jury, and observed that lie left the question of amount of damages entirely with them. The Jurv, after n short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £ 10,000. Thc Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Debt- ors' Court, lately advised a female, who was ex- amined as a witness in her brother's case, to be very cautious of the manner in which she conducted herself, and mentioned that there was a clause in the Insolvent Act, which wonld operate very seri- ously against those who should be dclected in an offence, of which he trusted she was not guilty. It could not, he said, be too widely circulated, that by the clause in the Act alluded to, all persons who aided and assisted an Insolvent in concealing his property, are liable to an imprisonment for three years. It is also necessary to stale, that there is a clause in the Act, to enable the Commissioners to punish with imprisonment, within thc limits of six months, any Insolvent whose general conduit they should see reasonable cause for censuring, without having evidence brought before them in substantiation of any specific charge. THE POOR. RATES.— Erroneous impressions having taken place, in many instances, in the country as to Ihe legal mode of rating a parish, for the supl port of the poor, arising from a reported decision of the Sessions in Norfolk, the following from Nolan, an undoubted decisive authority, may not be unac- ceptable to Ihe public.— Nolan. " The sums raised for Ihe poor's relief should be assessed, in an equal manner, upon the productive value of all property occupied in the district for which the rate is made.'' The qucslinn then here occurs, what constitutes tlie actual productive value?— Nolan. " Rack- rent only constitutes a part; the mode of rating on rack- rent only, therefore, is fallacious; rack- rent being only so much nf the productive value as Ihe tenant, it is supposed, can afford to pay his landlord, after de- ducting his own remuneration for trouble and culti- vation. The tenant's profits form the other part - both coming from the land, and forming parts of his rateable productive value. When land is occupied by the proprietor, he receives both these profits- when demised to a tenant, llify are divided," Here' yve observe, the tithes of the clergy can only share* in common and in an equal proportion with the lands' the burden of the poor- rate. If tithe proceeds are* rated to Ihe full, land must be so rated, and ihe full is the real productive value, orbolh rack- rent and what niav. besupposed ihe tenant's profits, as before stated. If there be nn productive value, which cannot be" the case, there can be no lithe, which in all cases must rise or fall with the produce of tbe Inod • unlfss where there be a composition, which con only be rated on its actual receipts, still preserving the pro- portion of the general rale on llie occupiers of land. Hence the Clergy, who compound, may find great relief, if, in prosperous seasons, Ihey pay up to the. full of iheir lithe proceeds, Ihe occupiers of laud being obliged lo do the same for their land occu- pations. About half- past five o'clock on Thursday after- noon the workshop of Alessrs. Ake and Witty, joiners, Trippet. buildings, Hull, was discovered to be 011 fire; and the flames instantly burst forth with such fury, owing to the quantity of shavings, dry wood, & c. upon thc premises, as to take aw'av every chance of averting their destruction, or even of confining the ravages to the spot. To one of Mr. Oshourne's sheds, ereclcd against the wall of Ake and Willy's workshop, and scarcely finished and w hich, with the yard, was full of deals, timber* laths, & c. the fire instantly communicated, and burnt with a degree of intensity truly awful. Eighty barrels of tar were fortunately got out 011 the fust alarm; but, independent of the quantity of timber and deals, about 2000 bundles of lath's were all in ( lames. Thc wood- work of the windows of an unfinished new house, adjoining Mr. O.' s yard, was destroyed, and thc walls partly injured. Mr. Samuel Thorp's house and joiner's shop adjoining were completely burnt down, but thu furniture saved. The top of Messrs. Maislev's oil mill, 011 the opposite side of Wjncolm- lee, was thrice 011 fire, but speedily extinguished. It was not till near midnight that the danger was appre- hended to be at an end. Of the damage done the amount cannot be ascertained. Mr. Osbourne's property and Mr. Thorp's were insured, as we believe was Messrs. Ake and Witty's also. The joiners belonging to the latter, eight or ten in number, lost Ihe whole of their tools, & c ; a loss of from £ 20 to £ 40 cach.
