These Pills are extremely well calculated for those Habits of Body, that are subject to be Costive, as a continued Use of them, does not injure but invigorates the Constitution, and will be found to possess thoss Qualities that will remove a long Series of Diseases resulting from a confined State of the Bowels, strengthen Digestion, create Appetite, and he of distinguished Excellence in removing Giddiness, Headaches, & c. & c. occasioned by the Bile in the Stomach, or the ill Effects arising from impure or too greata Quantity of Wine, Spirits, or Malt Liquor. Persons of the most delicate Constitution may take them with Safety in all Seasons nf the Year; and in nil Cases of Obstruction arising from Cold or other Causes, where an opening Medicine is wanted, they will be found the best cordial Stimulant in .

NORWICH UNION FIRE INSURANCE SOCIETY. CAPITAL £ 550,000. LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 13. The French Papers contain the copy of an Ad- dress to the King of Spain, which was agreed to in an extraordinary, Siting of the Cortes oil the 24th ult. Both ill manner and matter, it is similar lo the remonstrances which used to | ie addressed to the King of Fiance in the first stage of Ibe Revo- lution, and vy hich were preparatory to his dethrone- ment and execution. Spaniards, it is hoped, are loo loyal and too moral a nation, to disgrace their efforts ill the cause of liberty by the commission of so horrible a crime, as an attempt upon the life of their Sovereign. But they ought to know, and we arc surprised that the Cortes are pot sensible of this truth, that a deliberate insult or menace to Iheir king, dependent as they have rendered him, is dishonourable to a brave, and . unworthy of a free, people. They have notoriously reduced him to a slate of weakness, in which lie cannot retort, much less resent. They ought also to be aware, that it is utterly inconsistent with Ihe respect tine to a Constitutional King, whose authority becomea virtually cxtinct as soon as his person becomes, degraded. In fact, royalty cannot exist, but as long as il is surrounded by marks of dignity and respect; and it is feared that the Cortes have pre- pared great troubles for their country by agreeing to so intemperate an Address, in which they accuse the King, not indirectly too, of being secretly leagued with the domestic aud foreign enemies of the Constitutional System. A letter from Bologna, dated May If., says—" A sudden storm, which arose last Saturday at noon, brought destruction over fourteen of the most fertile communes of Ibis Province. A torrent of hail, of which the stones weighed from six to nine ounces, broke and destroyed every thing; the strongest trees were stripped of their foliage, and the roofs of the houses all dashed to pieces. Thus these countries, which but lately presented a scene of the greatest fertility, are now desolate and laid waste." 1 0 2 29 0 32 3 2 3 3 23 LOT VIII.

THE TEA TRADE— For the two first days after the arrival of tbe late unpleasant news fioiut China, 110 effect was produced on tbe tea market. It is well known that the Company have 011 hand black teas sufficient for six sales ( IS months), ami a considerable, though less supply of green; anil as the demand had heen so slack, tbat the purchase* of the March sale were at a discount of 2*. l, per pound for black teas, and green teas were worth but from Id to Od. advance, the regular dealers were little inclined lo speculate upon Ihe probabi- lity of Ihe Chinese refusing for any very long time to deal with their best customer; but money bring plentiful, some persons have ventured upon Ibe hazardous experiment of btiyiug np the tea that was upon the market, and establishing, by small purchases and sales, very high nominal pi iees, iu hopes that the general buyers will be indiscreet enough to sanction tbe advance at the sale which has just commenced at the East India House. It is very probable lhal great efforts will b • made to keep up prices during Ihe early tlavs of tiie sale, hut it is generally thought that the speculation cannot be carried through. The Tyre Mercury says—" Mr. Webb Hall, the pretended exclusive friend of the farmer, dis- appointed in his schemes, is now exhibiting his patriotism.

SHREWSBURY THEATRICALS.— The arduous efforts of Mr. Walsh, who rented the Circus in this town for the List three weeks., proved very unsuc- cessful • and on Friday night that gentleman closed an unproductive season here.

William Hanmer, Royal Maelor Yeomanry, by Lord Kenyon ; the Earl of Denbigh, on his manage; the Earl of Killrnorey, on his promotion in Ihe Peerage} Lord Henry Thynne, sides of 1 e House, pressed forward with the tmost as?,|,; v uoll|,| „ ith a'chained and muzz ed • anxiety to declare their abhorrence Oi the clause |)( 1! i • . . tacked to the petition ou the motion of Cobbett, in which a forcible reduction of the public debt was recommended'.— All the gentlemen above- mentioned joined in opinion that tne" Couaty of Kent had dis- g raced itself by petitioning for the robbery of the public creditor, and by permitting snob » person as Cobbett to lead their county assembly. Several Members on both sides of the . Ho. ise expressed their astonishment that the leading- gentlemen of the county, particularly tbe 7Vi; i leaders who bad been the promoters and chief a- tenders ofthe meet- ing, should have permitted the county to be so disgraced. Sir F. BURDETT and Mr. IIUM'E defended the petition. The Hon. H. G. BF. NNFT thought it most unfair in the Noble Lord (" Londonderry) and tbe Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Peel) opposite, to allege that any County Meeting- had proposed or recommended the pillaging of the public creditor. The Government had by their own misconduct, misconduct for which they had got the sanction of majorities of Parlia- ment, set the example of spoliation. Jt was they who bad corrupted and debased the currency— it was they who had defrauded both tbe public debtor cud the public cte l tor - and surely they ought to be tiie last to complain of a b . st of feeling dis- played at a P- ibliy Meeting, especially when tbey knew that to be the consequence of the most severe distress. 1 hey ought not to be so forward in find- ing fault with the feelings of people, who had met 1o petition Parliament under circumstances such as Englishmen never assembled under before. He ( Mr. B.) had never uttered a single expression which . eeommciide.! any injustice towards the pub- lic ci editor. What had been borrowed from him should be repaid. To that amount, he was fully entitled; but the e was no justice in the claim Which demanded30s. in return for the 20s. that had beeu borrowed. But who were really the violators of the faith ? Tbey were the Government— they were those Ministers who began in the year 1797, by their fraudulent a d scandalous conduct, to cheat the public creditor, and who were now, by . another fraudulent and scandalous manoeuvre, • eheati ig the public and the private- debtor. The violat r. s of the public faith were those Ministers who resisted every proposition of pub] c retrench- ment, who upheld unnecessary establishments for undue patronage., and who were guilty of a spoli- ation of the property of the people, by continuing an unnecessary taxation and the machinery of a Sinking Fund. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did. not rise to prolong the already protracted discussion, nor to copy the language or temper in which the Hon. Member for Shrew?, bury ( Mr. Rennet) had deli- vered himself, which, be would venture to say, were as peculiar to himself as they were rare in persons of his station in life. If he meant to beco ue the advocate of revolution and spoliation, he must find a much better pretext than what he had put forward that night. When he talked of paying 30s. for 30s. borrowed, he must tell him, that looking- at the circumstances under whieh the contract with the public creditor was made - we having spent the money, which, by law, was only to be paid in sterling money, and agreed to be paid oil at the end of the war, it would be exercising a most dishonest power now to turn round and decide upon the equity of their debts. It might be very conve- nient to the Honourable Member to wish that lie possessed the power thus to deal w'th tbe public creditor, and he' regretted to observe lately in tbe language of the Hon. Member a laxity of principle which savoured-. sostrongly of revolutionary prin- ciples. Mr. RICARDO observed, that even on the shewing, of his Honourable Friend, the Member for Shrews- bury, it was clear, that if the public creditor at one, time received 30 in place of 20 shillings, he also received 20 in place of 30 shillings that he lent so that in the whole of these transactions he had great doubt whether the public creditor had been Benefitted. ALIEN BILL. On the motion for the second reading of the Alien Bill, it was again strenuously resisted by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, and its necessity defended at great length by Mr. PI UNKETT. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. DENMAN also spoke in opposition. Shortly prior to the C1O. JC of the debate. Mr. HUME moved au adjournment, and pressing it to a division, his motion was rejected oy 166 to 16. The second reading of the bill was ultimately carried by 108 to 74, and its committal ordered.

[ From onr Private < or respondent."] HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. STATE OF IRELAND. M. V. FITZGERALD wished to know from the Right Hon. Gent, what effect the relief extended to Ireland had had in lessening the distress of that couutry • he wished to know what further measures of relief were contemplated by Government tobe extended to tbat distressed country. Such was the state of Ireland, that something must be done, and that- without delay. He was desirous of knowing also how the money to be appropriated to public works was to be applied. Mr. GOUEBURN said, from the moment it had appeared to the Government of Ireland fit that Government should interfere, a Committee was appointed to enquire into the existence and extent of'distress iu the different districts, and the remains of the fund voted in IS17 for the relief or Ireland, had been placed at the disposal of that Committee. That Committee had immediately and anxiously set about . errbnn; ng their tasi;, and bad extended relief to cases where most required. - The sum of £ 50,000 had also been placed., on bis suggestion, at the disposal of the Lord Lie tenant of Ireland by Parliament, to be employed in pubs ie works; and immediately after obtaining that authority, astir veyor was sent t> the districts most pressed by distress, and public works marked out, and the starving peasantry, as far as they could be, had been employed. The distress had by that means been alleviated, though not eradicated ; and he foresaw that it w > uld be necessary to apply to Parliament for some further funds b. efore the present were entirely exhausted. Mr. J. SMITH was convinced that the Committee sitting- in Dublin did not extend sufficient relief to the suffering population of Ireland in the distressed districts. The accounts received to- day were more distressing and heart- rending than any yet recei ved. In the county or Clare, there was 98,300 persons subsisting entirely on. charity," and in the distressed counties upwards of 108,000 were reduced to the same state of starvation. lie was •' convinced of this, that the Committee sitting- at Dublin were wholly incompetent to giving the required relief. He called on the. Government to exert itself, for that Government was not . worth a farthing whose first object was not directed to save the population from starving. Mr N RICE spoke as to thp distress of the Irish peasantry,'' ho are daily perishing for want. Whilst j the House dobated, the people perished, and ulti- mately the opportunity of giving relief would be lost. Mr. V. FITZGERALD bad not put this question with any view of censuring the Government'. He was persuaded, however, that the . means placed at the disposal ofthe Dublin Committee were not adequate to the purpose, Sir J. NEWPORT was persuaded the only effectual mode of relieving the starving population of Ireland, would be to find them employment — to give them the fruits of their, industry, instead of relief to their mendicity. Mr PEEL said, the Irish Government bad a difficult task to perforin,, they had at the same time to give relief and to guard against the effects of gratuitous support extended to a multitude. The almost ex- clusive attention, of the Government was engrossed b^ this subject, and wherever it could be done the population was set to work by the Government. In all cases where it could be done, gratuitous relief had been abstained from, lest by extending it too generally or too freely, the spirit ofthe people should be broken down He felt tbat discussion, so far as it had gone this night was useful, but if carried to too great an extent, he was convinced Gentlemen would not fail to gee it would be productive of the most serious inconveniences. Mr. ABERCROMBIE agreed entirely in what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gent. He was persiiad'd promiscuous and incautious gratuitous relief would have the effect pointed out by the Right Hon. Gent, and would lay the foundation of a system which Ire- arnl might long have'reason to regret.— Here the abject dropped^ Friars. DIED.

VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUNE 8. CARDIGANSHIRE. SMITH V. SMITH.— Mr Rolfe stated that this was a , case in which three different suits had been instituted for the benefit of an infant, and upon a reference to the Master to ascertain whieh of these was the most proper to be prosecuted, he bad reported in favour of the one last instituted, in which the plaintiff, and next friend of the infant, was Mr. Pryse Pryse, a gentleman of rank in the county of Cardigan The object of the present application therefore was, and if appeared to he a matter of course, that the Court would sanction the suit commenced under that gen- tleman's auspices. % li- Heald admitted that the motion appeared to be one of course ; but it was a case in which the cir- cumstances were verv peculiar, and such as be trusted would induce the Court not to grant the ap- plication. AH the suits related to tbe property of a Mr. Thomas Smith, deceased, a gentleman, who was a branch of a highly respectable family, that lill verv lately resided in Swansea, but who had been afflicted with a mental complaint, which bad ter- minated in a complete derangement, and finally, bis dying in a stale of extreme misery. In the earlier stage of bis disorder he bad lucid intervals; and during one of those lucid intervals he had married bis servant maid, by whom he subsequently had a son, who, in tbe event of his legitimacy, was his heir at law. Proceedings were instituted bv the family of Mr. Smith, for the purpose of establishing his lunacy An inquisition was taken, and after that, proceedings were advised tobe adopted in the Eccle- siastical Court ; those proceedings were attended with an expense so very enormous," that be could hardly state them to the Court ; in truth, the woman, Ann Smith, and her friends, swore so roundly to the sanity of the deceased, and the im portanee to her of confirming the marriage was so great, and her means for that purpose so energetic, there being upwards of 90 witnesses examined, that the brother of Mr. Smith, and the rest of the family, to avoid so ruinous an expense, fount', themselves com- pelled to relinquish tlie question, aud concede the legality of fhe marriage : ultimately the Jury found that the marriage bad taken place during a lucid interval, aud consequently his son became bisacknow- ledged heir at law. Upon the death of Mr Smith it became the duty of the family to interfere on behalf of the child so declared legitimate, and tit their in- stance a suit was instituted bv Mr David Lloyd Harris, witb a view to the settlement of the infant's property, but that suit was never prosecuted. A second suit was commenced by Mary Smith, the mother of the deceased, against Ann Smith, tbe widow, calling upon her to account. It might be taken for granted, that this second suit was not much to the satisfaction of Mrs Ann Smith, the widow; and, accordingly, a third suit was instituted by the present plaintiff, Pryse Pryse, Esq. Member for Cardigan. Whoever bad heard of Mr. Pryse, would naturally suppose be could only be influenced by correct motives ; and, probably, that might be the case: he did not mean to deny it: but in truth this was a case in which for the iiijme of Pryse Pryse, you ought to read Jenkin Davies, a gentleman, he admitted, equally respectable, and who had gone through the office of High Sheriff of Cardiganshire. It appeared upon the affidavits, that be it was who advised Mr. Pryse to bave recourse to the present proceedings. ' With regard to tbe conduct of this Mr. Jenkin Davies, and the prejudice by which he was actuated, he would only state, that whilst ibe inquisition was proceeding at Cardigan, be came into the room where the Jury and parties were as- sembled, aud exclaimed, tbat be was High Sheriff of the county, swore that he would commit them all to Cardigan gaol, and that when he had got them there, be would rule them with a rod of iron ; he then abruptly left tbe room, saying, lie would not remain longer with such a set of rascals. The Learned Counsel said be was persuaded that a suit instituted at the suggestion { if a person who bad so condiictfd himself, could not be proceeded in with any other views than those which were hostile to the interests of his clients; he therefore hoped, tbe suit commenced under the direction of the deceased's family would be preferred. The Vice- Cbancellor said he conld not disagree witb tiie Master, except on clear and satisfactory grounds laid before bim. The circumstances of tbe case were singular. This was a suit for the administration of the real and personal estate of the late Mr. Smith, who bad died, leaving a widow and only legitimate child. The widow and child were entitled to the peisonal estate, and the child as heir at law to the real (- state. Tbe death of the intestate bad been preceded by a question whether bis mar- riage was not during his insanity, and consequently void: That question appeared very much to bave agitated, as it was natural it should, the county in which the parties lived and the property laid On tbe one side were arranged all the members of tbe husband's family, and particularly bis mother, grand- mother of the infant; they contended that the father was insane ami the marriage void. Other persons, the gentry of the place, took the opposite side, insisting that the marriage was valid. Among these was Mr. Jenkin Davies, who warmly espoused the cause of the wife, and supported the validity of the marriage. The suits in the Ecclesiastical Court, for the purpose of invalidating the marriage, had been abandoned ; and it bad decided tbat tbe marriage was a good one. What followed ? The grandmother, who had so arranged herself with tbe family against the wife, had now instituted a suit as next friend to tbe very child whom she had before so hastily op- posed. Oil the otber band, Mr. Jenkin Davies, who had so espoused the cause of the wife, bad induced Mr. Pryse, a person ot rank and property iu the couuty, to take upon himself the office of next friend of tbe infant, and to institute a new suit for his benefit; and upon a reference to the Master as to which of the suits ought to be pre. lington, and Wilton; Viscountesses Feilding and Barnard ; Ladies Ducie, Emily Feilding, Dynevor.

DISTRESS IN I RELAN D.— Upwards of £ 10 >, 000 have been subscribed towards the relief of the Irish ; but the distress is so great that this will fall very- short of what is really required. The accounts from the south and west of Ireland become every day more and more deplorable. Here are no imagined woes- no fictitious sufferings, no deeply wrought tales of ideal affliction, but plain, simple facts which tran- scend in tbeir appalling reality the most vivid con- ceptions of fancy. The calamity seems to be rapidly approaching to a crisis : famine is no longer an an- ticipated evil; for tnanv have actually perished from want, and many from diseases which want has en- gendered It appears by fhe official Reports of the Committee appointed at Dublin, that contagious diseases are rapidly extending over the country. In the south and west of Ireland, very many have already fallen victims to tbe dysentery, typhus fever, and cholera ' morbus. Thev are all most fatally prevalent in sotne parts of the county of Mayo, I trust that Mr. PETERS will permit this to be the last Letter which I shall have occasion to address to you.

TRANSLATED FROM THE SPANISH. 44 Who ever gazed upon them shining, And turn'd to earth vviihout repining, Nor wished tor wings to flee away, And mix with their eternal ray ?" 1 gaze upon yon orhs of light— he eon ut lens, stars that gem the slcy ;' Each in ils sphere serenely bright Wheeling ils course— how silently! While in the mantle ofthe night Earth aud its ernes and troubles lie. Temple of light and loveliness,- And lhroife of grandeur, can il be That souIs,. whose kindred loftiness Nature' bulb framed to rise lo thee, Should pine within Ihis narrow spi. ee,- This prison of mortality ? What madn'ess from the path of right For ever leads our steps astray, That, reckless of thy pure delight, We turn from this divine array, To chase a shade that mocks the sight—' A good that vanisheth away \ Awake, ye moitals! raise your eyes To ihese eternal starry spheres : Look on these glories of the skies, And see how poor this world appears, With all its pomps and vanities — With all its hopes and all its fears. Who can look forth upon this blaze Of heavenly lamps, so brightly shining, Through'the unbounded void of space— A hand unseen their course assigning, AH moving wilh Unequal pace, Yet in harmonious concord joining. Who sees the silver chariot move Of the bright moon ; and, gliding slow, The star uho. se influence from above Sheds knowledge on the world below; And tbe resplendent Queen- of Love All bright and beautifully glow-.— Or, where tbe angry God of War Rolls fiercely on his bloody way, And near the mild majestic star That o'er the Gods of old held sway ; That beams his radiance from afar, And calms the heavens beneath liis ray. Where Saturn shews his distant beam, God of the golden days of yore ; Or where the countless stars, that seem Thick as the sand upon the shore, From their eternal seals a stream Of glory and of radiance pour. Who that, hath seen these splendours roll, And gazed on this majestic scene, Bnt sigb'd lo ' scape this world's controul, Spurning ils pleasures poor and mean, To burst the bonds that bind the soul, And pass the gnlph that yawn'M between ? AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN.— Many of Lord Chesterfield's maxims would make a young- man a mere man of pleasure; but an English gentleman should not be a mere man of pleasure. He has no right to such selfish indulgence. His ease, his I . sure, his opulence are debts due to his country, which he must ever stand ready to discharge. He should be a man at all points-, simple, frank, cour- teous, intelligent, accomplished, aud informed; up- right, intrepid, and disinterested ; one that can mingle among freemen ; that can cope with states, weii; that can champion his country and its rights either at home or abroad. In a country like Eng- land, where there is such free and unbounded scope for the exertion of intellect, and where opinion and example have such weight with the people, every gentleman of fortune aud leisure should feel him- self bound to employ himself in some way towards promoting the prosperity or glory of the nation. In a country where intellect and action are trammelled and restrained, men of rank and fortune may be- come idlers and fritters with impunity ; but an ^ English coxcomb is inexcusable ; and this, perhaps, is the reason why he is thc most offensive and in- supportable coxcomb in thc world. ON PEACH AND APRICOT ESPALIER TREES. — A more favourable climate is generally necessary to bring to maturity the fruits ond seeds of trees, than is required to ripen their wood; and consequently, manv species are lound to subsist and flourish in the climate of England, which never produce in it either fruit or seeds. Exceptions to this rule are not, how- ever, wanting; and both the peach and fig- tree " ill ripen iheir fruit without the protection or reflected heat of a wall, in situations where Iheir annual wood will, very rarely, become sufficiently mature to beat- even a moderate degree of odd. It follows, there- fore, that, wherever the climate is sufficiently warm aiid favourable to ripen the wood, it will also ripen tbe fruit of the peach- tree, if ils blossoms can be preserved ; and this I have found to he very easily practicable on espalier- trees. My experience, how- ever," has' not beeii very extensive: for the wood of the peach- tree does not ripen here at all on standard espalier freeff, and very imperfectly either on an cast or west'wall; and'. consequently 1 found it necessary to plant uiy trees in pots, and train them to a south wall, till they attained a proper age and size ; and Court of Common Pleas, June 5.— A TAILOR'S BILL.— Nightingale v. Hurst.— Plaintiff is first- rate tailor, in the west end of the town, and brought this action against a first- rate beau, to recover £ 110 for goods sold and delivered. A bill bad been run up, in two months, for £ 161. Serjeant Pell disputed the fairness of the prices.— The foreman proved thc delivery. Amongst the articles was a pelisse for a lady, for which the charge was £ 30. 5s. 4|- d. There was also an item *> f £ 12 for a morning gown. Those articles which witness did not deliver he saw on the person of the defendant.— Cross- examined— Could tell the breeches of his own make upon a gentleman in the street, by the hang of them before or behind.— " Were there not two of the coats that did not fit?" u They did not fit the head!" " The head ! I thought coats were usually made to fit the body."— Witness begged he might not be compelled to disclose secrets of trade. The ques- tion was pressed.— Witness, " We often make coats which fit exceedingly well, but some fault is found, and they arc sent back to be altered. In such a case, we say they do not fit the head. We keep them a proper time, and then send them back untouched, when they are found to be just the ihing, and to fit delightfully."— Part of the bill had been paid.-— Two witnesses swore the prices were most moderate. Serjeant Pell called three tailors, who swore the charges were much too high : £ 6. 6s. should have been charged instead of £ 8. 8s. and £ 8. 8s. instead of £ 12. 12s.; £ 16 would have been fair for the pelisse, without the sable trimming. — The sum sought for was £ 110. The witnesses for the defence thought £ 74 a proper charge.— Verdict £ 95. then'to remove them early " in the spring, aud employ them as espaliers, under the following circumstances. A row of stakes', about five feet high, aud some- what exceeding tiie height of the trees, was placed at a few inches distance behind them ; and between these stakes, twisted bauds of pease- straw were inter- woven. A mat was then fixed to tiie top 6f these stakes, and thrown forward over the trees, to protect them during the night, and returned back to the other side of the stakes during the day. The materi- als here used, exclusive of the mat, are scarcely of any value, and the time and trouble necessary will be found very inconsiderable; and if I may be allowed to judge from the results of a very few experiments, made under very unfavourable circumstances as to climate, I cannot doubt but that abundant crops of peaches might certainly be obtained from espalier- tre. s, in the vicinity of London, and in all the warmer parts of the island; for those I obtained, though small, were not defective, either in maturity or flav- our, and became ripe within about a fortnight after those which grew upon a south wail. Every variety of ihe apricot, even the Moorpark, might, I am quite confident, he thus cultivated with the most perfect success; and the fruit, though smaller, would pro- bably be found better flavoured than that obtained from walls. Less ample means of protection than those above detailed, would, I conceive, be generally found adequate to protect the blossoms of the apricot, and of many of the less delicate varieties of the peach; for I recollect an instance, in which a stand- ard double- blossomed peach- tree, in the vicinity of London, bore several successive, and rather abundant crops of fruit : and if trees of any hardv variety of the peach were trained iu rows, in the direction of north and south, and mats were thrown over them at night, so secured as to descend on each side, nearly in the angle of the ordinary roof of a. building, 1 doubt much, whether any farther protection would be necessary for trees not exceeding tbe height of five f « et.— Trans, tlorti. Society. SOCIETY OF ARTS.— The Duke of Sussex presided at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Arts, and assisted in the distribution of the prizes to the successful candidates. The large gold medal, aud also a gold Ceres' medal, were presented to Messrs Cowley and Staines, of Winslow, Bucks, the former for drawing turnips in the month of November, 1821, and preserving them in a sound stale lit for feeding, of cattle, to the end of April, 1822; and the latter for cultivating four acres of white poppy ( paparer somniforumj, and extracting from it 801bs. of solid opium, equal to Ihe best Turkey Opium. J. Peart, Esq. of Settle, Yorkshire, also received tiie large gold medal, for reclaiming fifty- six acres of wasle moor land. Mrs. Wells, Connecticut, United States, was pre- sented with the large silver medal and 20gs. for a correct imitation of Leghorn; and Mr. Starkey, of H uddersfield, for fine broad cloth, made entirely of wool from New South Wales, the gold Isis medal. In the polite arts, several most interesting and original productions of young ladies and gentlemen, were rewarded with gold and silver medals, and the whole gave infinite satisfaction. Several experiments have recently been made before the Trinity Board, and a Board of General Officers, at Woolwich, on a new plan, for affording speedy aud effectual aid in cases of shipwreck. It differs from Captain Manby's plan, inasmuch ;> s the line of communication can be made by means of a rocket instead of a mortar. A roller is also added, and so admirably constructed, as to render considerable facility and safety in reaching thc shore. The advantage that must be derived in the night time, from the rocket, is obvious, as it is so constructed, that it will burn in the water. The precision by which the line of communication is formed is also considerably augmented, and the safety of life and property consequent upon having the apparatus ready on board, in case of accident, is paramour. tly enhanced. The two Boards have spoken in appropriate terms of the new plan, and have made their report accordingly. Refuge caves are formed and forming about the tall cliffs near Beachy Head, in cases of wrecks, for seamen in their distress and danger to have recourse to. These eaves are formed by excavating the rock above the reach of the tide, with steps, similarly effected, to approach them. Two of these caves, to the west of Berlingap, are finished, and various others are in process. Had such a thought- ful measure been carried into execution years back, it is impossible to say how many valuable lives, ere this, would have been preserved by it. A corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, it is said, is about to be raised in the County of Middlesex, under the immediate patronage of a Noble Duke, and some of the principal men resident in the county, to consist of eight troops, as follow:— two at Brent- ford and Ilsevvorth, one at Staines, one at Hounslow, one at Hampton, two at Uxbridge, and one at Stan more. BOW- STREET.— One of Ihe toll- takers at Hyde Park Corner vvas summoned under the following circumstances :— A Solicitor having engaged a place in an Exeter coach, and fearing that it might overturn from the quantity of luggage oil the roof, expostulated with the book- keeper, who told him neither he nor any one else had any business with the luggage. Complainant got in, aud when he arrived at the defendant's gate, desired him to measure the luggage, as directed by the 50th Geo. III. cap. 48. Defendant refused, saying the luggage was nothing to him ; and for this refusal the present information was laid.— The toll keeper pleaded ignorance of the law ; and upon an under- standing that thc lessees should directly furnish all their toll- bouses with proper measures, the pro- ceedings were stopped. The Police Commissioners of Sheffield, in York- shire, have issued a public notice, that in future the inhabitants of that town are to adopt the regulation of the capital, in walking on causeways, of " keeping their right hand to the wall, to prevent their bobbing their noses in each other's faces." At the Meeting of Magistrates, a few days since, at Sidmouth, James Young, of Exeter, a tea hawker, was fined £ 100 for sellhg tea at Sid- mouth. JUDICIAL FINES.— It will be recollected, some veais back,, the Marquis of Sligo was tried and con- victed at an Admiralty Session, held at the Old B. iiley, on a charge of having seduced certain seamen in his Majesty's service to assist bim in navigating his own pleasure yacht w hile on a voyage in the Mediter- ranean.- For this offence he was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment in Newgate, & to pay a fine to the King- of £ 5000. The imprisonment his Lordship underwent iu due course, and at the expiration ofthe term paid the fine into the Exchequer. Mere, however, the ap- propriation of ihe fine was stopped, in consequence of the application of three different parties, each of whom laid claim to it as their peculiar right. Tbe Attorney General claimed it on the patt ofthe King, on the ground of its being a fine imposed under a Special Commission for a crime committed beyond the seas — Tbe Sheriffs of London claimed it as com- ing to them in virtue of their office, having been imposed within their jurisdiction ; and the High Bailiff of Westminster claimed it as his perquisite, having been imposed on a person domiciled in the City of Westminster.— Pending these rival claims, an order was made hy the Court of Exchequer that the sum should be invested in Government securities, until its appropriation should be properly adjusted. Thus the matter rests— the fine is gradually increas- ing by the interest accruing, and the whole will he ultimately applied to the uses of the successful can- didate. The further proceeding oil the subject awaits the pleasure of the Attorney General. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

IT.— The Moors consider Spain as a country to which they still have a right to aspire; and many families in Morocco and Tetuan to this day preserve the key of tbe houses of their ancestors in Castile, Arragon, Leon, & c. and one day to use them again. SANDWICH ISLANDS. The following particulars relating to the Sand- wich Islands were communicated by the Captain of an American vessel who lately visited them on a whaling voyage:— " The Sandwich Islands are now becoming a place of great commerce, and the natives making rapid strides towards civilization. From the frequent visits they bave had of late years from Americans and English they are daily assuming their manners and customs and abolish their own. No longer is seen the bow or the spear— no more is heard the shrill sound of the War Conch or the agonizing shrieks of the victim prepared for the sacrifice. Su- perstition is done, away— idolatry bas ceased,— the c church going bell' is now heard to break on the stillness of the sabbath, and the cheering rays of Christianity have already begun to beam on these children of nature. There are now residing amongst them several of tbe Missionary Society from th United Stales w ith their w ives and fain lies ; there is a school kept by them, und a number of the ri generation are taught the arts of reading, writing, drawing, & c. which, together with the exemplary conduct of all the society, and the moral and religi- ous precepts delivered by the Rev. Mr. Bingham and the Rev. Mr. Thurston in the church, is daily in- creasing amongst those children of nature a high sense of moral rectitude. 14 Since the commencement of the year 1821 no less than 28 ships and brigs have visited those islands for the object of trade or procuring supplies. 44 The Natives themselves are now the owners of 10 square- rigged vessels, none less than 120 tons, besides a number of schooners and sloops, all of which tbey keep constantly going from island to island with sandal wood, provisions, & e. They are principally manned bv natives, sailing them with skill and regu- larity.— While Captain Gardner remained at Woahoo, one of their vessels arrived from a voyage to Kamts- chatka ; she was'commanded by. a white man, but manned entirely by natives. For a quantity of salt she carried to the Governor of Kamtscbatka, she brought in return a quantity of dried salmon, cord- age, canvas, cutlery, & e. The Governor also made [ lis Owbyheean Majesty a present of a large tract of land, and sent him a deed of it. They are pleased with the success of the voyage, and would- soon un- dertake another. u On the south side of the island of Woaboo is one of the most commodious harbours in the world ; no wind or waves ever enter tbere to endanger the safety of a vessel. Tbere can be obtained refreshments of every kind, and a ship be repaired if needed ; for this last year it has been a resort for all the whale ships coursing in the northern latitudes for refresh- ments aud supplies. 44 In the Missionary Orphan School at Woahoo is a young native of the North- west Coast. He is a very forward scholar, reads well, aud bas made great pro- ficiency iu drawing." On Tuesday se'nnight, the Blucher coach, which runs between Leeds and Selby, was overturned within about a mile of the latter place, owing to the breaking of the axle- tree, but none of the passengers received any serious injury. On the following day a coachmaker was sent from Leeds for Ihe purpose of tying up the axle, so as to enable it to be run thence without passengers, for the purpose of undergoing a thorough repair; but when the coach arrived at the top of Quarry Hill, the axle- tree gave way, ihe consequence of which was, that the coach was again overturned, and the coachmaker had his leg so dreadfully fractured, that it was necessary to amputate it ; but a mortification took place, and the unfortunate man expired on Friday.— Hull Advertiser. A notorious poacher, of the name of Little, well known 111 the neighbourhood of Maidstone by the nick name of Diddler, was early 011 Sunday morn- ing discovered lying 011 Coxheath, near Hitnton Woods, quite dead. When found he presented a shocking spectacle, the lower part of his face and throat being much lacerated, and he was covered with a gore of blood. On tracing the blood to a hedge a few yards distant, a gun vvas perceived lying on the opposite side, which appeared to have been recently discharged. From this circumstance, and the situation of the man's wounds, it is con- jectured that he was following his pursuits, and on getting over the hedge, he was in llie act of draw- ing the gun after him when it went off, and lodged the contents in his throat and lower part of his face. He appears to have staggered a few yards before he fell The body was conveyed to Coxheath work house. On Sunday the 9th, an Inquest vvas taken on view of the body of Charlotte Bundy, only fourteen years of age, found drowned in the Severn, a short dist- ance below Gloucester. It seems that the deceased, although so young, had frequently expressed a de- termination to destroy herself. For the last three weeks she bad been in the service of a very respect- able family in Gloucester, where she was engaged to look after an infant, and on Thursday, having been, in the mildest manner, reproved for improper treatment of thc child, she abruptly left her master's house; and although immediately followed by her brother, she contrived to elude hiin, and proceeded to the river side. In her way she spoke to a man who was mowing, and asked if there was water enough in the river to drown her. The man said there was, but hoped she had 110 such intention, to which she re- plied in th negative, and said she was only looking for something she had lost. At the desire of her pa- rents she was to have been confirmed on Tuesday ast, to which she had expressed a strong- dislike, and as she was known to be impressed with the ulgar notion that whatever sin she committed before confirmation she would not be answerable for, it is supposed the influence of this mistaken idea matured her previously avowed intention of destroying her- self! On being missed, every search was made for her by dragging- tbe river near the spot where she was last seen, but without success, nor was it till Sunday morning that her fate vvas ascertained, when the body was accidentally discovered by some young men who were fishing. In the absence of all evidence to prove the absolute circumstances by which she met her death, the Jury returned a verdict of Found Drowned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. GRINDING FOREIGN CORN. Mr. CANNING'S clause, proposing to permit the holders of foreign corn to grind it for exportation, was rejected by the Committee upon the Corn Bill.— The Marquis of LONDONDERRY ascribed his oppo- sition to the clause to the difficulty he found in de- vising any measure which could effectually exclude foreign corn, after it had passed through the mill, from home consumption — The clause was rejected by so considerable a majority as 116 to 31. " Mr. WM. SMITH abandoned his bill for altering tbe marriage service, so as to accommodate it to tbe scruples of the various classes of Dissenters. The Hon. Member explained that his motive in deserting this bill was to substitute another less objectionable. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. A discussion took place on the presenting a peti- tion relative to the repeal of the Salt Tax. Some were in favour of partial repeal, but by far the greater proportion of the House were anxious fo effect an entire repeal of that oppressive tax.— The CHAN- CELLOR OF THU EXCHEQUER stated, that Scotland should he wholly exempt from the duty upon Scotch salt; and in order that Ireland should at least suffer nothing, if she gained no advantage by the alteration, that the proposed duty of 2s. there should be paid in Irish currency. CURRENCY. Mr. WESTERN, Member for Essex, brought for- ward his motion on the subject of the return to a Metallic Currency. The Hon. Member entered into J much detail relative to the price of corn, at different periods, for the last 150 years, and contended strenu- ously, that, in the case of private contracts, if would be unjust, and, iu the case of the National Debt, im- possible, to pay in an improved currency that Debt, which bad been contracted when the standard was depreciated. He concluded by moving the appoint- ment of a Committee, to take into consideration the effects produced by the return to Cash- payments, 44 on ihe agriculture, manufactures, and commerce of the United Empire, and oti the general condition of the different classes of society therein." Mr. HUSKISSON replied to the arguments of Mr. Western. He said, the necessity of returning to cash payments had been decided by tbe voice of the Legislature: it was then foreseen that much diffi- culty would ensue, but our only safe course now was to proceed firmly on, enduring the partial and tem- porary difficulties we shall have to encounter, for the sake of securing that permanent good which must ultimately arise from the establishing of a metallic currency.-— Mr. Huskisson concluded by moving as an amendment, 44 that this House will not alter the standard of gold or silver, in fineness, weight, or denomination." After a few observations from Lord A. HAMILTON, there being a general cry of adjournment, the debate was adjourned to next day. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The discussion on the currency was resumed.— The Hon. H. G. BENNET commenced by calling upon the Clerk to read the memorable Resolution of the House, passed in May, 1811, denying the deprecia- tion of the paper currency of that period. The Hon. Member, afler some severe animadversions upon the conduct of Ministers, and the successive Parliaments by which they were supported, declared his intention of voting for ihe motion of Mr. Western. Mr. RICARDO opposed ! Y1 r. Western's motion, and controverted in detail all that Gentleman's positions. He lamented, however, that the Bank had aggravated the difficulties of restoring thc metallic standard by unnecessary purchases of gold, and a premature issue of gold coin. Sir F. BURDETT spoke with great animation in support of Mr. Western's motion.— He thought that the objects of that Gentleman's proposition might be best effected, not by a return to an unlimited issue of notes hy the Bank, hut by a circulation of paper by the Government such as would restore the prices of 1814. Mr. ATTWOOD also supported Mr. Western's motion. Mr. PEEL defended the restoration of the old standard of currency, which he maintained to have been necessary for the protection of the labouring- classes, to whom it had proved a great, benefit. In allusion to the appointment of a committee under the plausible pretence of investigation, he denied that any inquiry, commencing- at so late a period of the Session as tbe 12th of June, could be deliberately pursued or carried on to a satisfactory conclusion. The only effect of agreeing to the motion would be, be said, that every man in the country would set immediately about collecting every guinea he could catch in any manner, and would lay it up to wait the result of the Committee's deliberations. Tbere would he a total derangement nnd complete stagna- tion of business, except that of collecting and laying up whatever every individual could of the gold coin of tbe country. Mr. BROUGHAM and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY spoke shortly— the former supporting Mr. Western's motion, the latter Mr. Huski& son's amendment. The House then divided upon Mr. Huskisson's amendment, which was carried by a majority of 194 to 30. DAVID HUME.— The predominance of cant over candour and reason is strongly exemplified in the praises bestowed 011 David Hume. He is said by some to have been a benevolent and a good man. Yet this writer endeavoured to overturn the iiopes ofa life hereafter, and to reconcile mankind to the practice of suicide. Surely many a man has been sent to Botany Bay, or suffered at the drop in Newgate, for a less outrageous abuse of his talents than this historian aad philosopher. The difference between the evils produced by a robber, nay a murderer, and such a mischievous writer, is incalculable, from its duration and publicity. HONE.— Many of our readers may probably know that a short time ago, Hone published what be called 44 The Apocryphal New Testament." This was, iu consequence, handled so severely in the Quarterly Review, thai he wrote a letter, which im- plied a threat, to Mr. Murray, the publisher of the Review, demanding from him the name of bis oppo nent; in reply to this letter, Mr, Gifford, as Editor of the Review, forwarded the following note, through the bookseller:— 44 Tbe mocker of his God— the rude scornerof his Saviour— the buffoon parodist, of Holy Writ— the obscene caricaturist of his Prince— the cold- blooded, heartless, malicious infidel, who labours day and night to rob tbe sick of their consolations of Religion, and the dying of their hopes of Immortality, inquires, 4 What writer in the Quarterly Review, No. 50, denied tbe soundness of bis head, and tbe in tegritv of bis heart ?'— The reply is ( briefly and boldly) ALL." Means of counteracting the Effect* of Lav,- danum.— Mr. Edward Jukes, surgeon, in Westmin- ster, has published some remarks on the death of the lale Archbishop of Armagh, which, it may be re- membered, was caused by swallowing two ounces of laudanum. Mr. J. recommends, that when ( as in the Primate's case) the excitability of the stomach is so exhausted bv the opium as not to be roused by ordi- dinary emetics, the patient should be directed ( if sensible) to drink copiously of hot water; and if fhe patient has become lethargic, then Mr. Jnkes strong- ly recommends the injection of water ( of 150 de- grees temperature) into the stomach, through a hollow flexible tube, which be proposes to be constructed of elastic gum, and to be about 25 inches in length, and half an inch in diameter. There is no stimulus, he says, capable of rousing the suspended functions of animal bodies so certainly as heaf; but he adds, that it is not from ihe temperature of the water that be expects the greatest benefit to arise, but from its diluting effects when it reaches the poison in the stomach. In the course of the above debate two arrange- ments, and two only, were suggested, by which prices could be raised to the standard of 1814. The first, which vvas rather obscurely hinted at than explicitly stated, is to be collected from the speech of Mr. Western. It is a depreciation of the future current coin hy alloy, mutilation, or a change in its denomination. The degree of this depreciation fhe Honourable Gentleman proposed to adjust according to the change in tbe prices of corn and labour— for example, tbe present price of corn he estimates at 50s. for tbe quarter of wheat; the present wages of labour at 8s. the week ; and he proposes to raise those prices to 80s and 15s. respectively, by a pro portionate depreciation of the nominal currency, that is by causing tbe shilling to pass for twenty- pence in the discharge of all debts and contracts, and tbe sovereign of 5dwts. 2| grs, sterling gold for £ 1.13s. 4d Such appears to have beeu the mea- sure contemplated by Mr. Western, and it was cer- tainly against such a measure that Mr. Huskisson's arguments and resolution were directed.--- The second scheme, namely, tbe issue of a government paper- monev, was, as above stated, suggested by Sir F. Burdett. Of these two projects, it is difficult to say which would be the most mischievous if adopted. A de- terioration ofthe currency might certainly be con- venient to mortgagors and all other debtors, and to the holders of gold and silver, but it would lead to the instant destruction of import- traders, and all persons dealing in foreign produce of any descrip- tion ; the greater part of whose property usually consists of book debts, which a currency depre- ciated 40 per cent, would reduce in a direct ratio. The effect upon the public funds, and of course upon the foreign exchanges would be not less mischievous; nor is tbe oppression of the labouring poor to be over- looked among the consequences of such a measure. On the other hand, it is scarcely necessary to ad- vert to the tremendous power which Sir Francis Burdett's proposition of a Government paper cur- rency might place in the hands of a profligate Ad- WILL- MAKING. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 5, SAPH V. ATKINSON AND WESTCOTT. This vvas a question respecting the validity of a paper, propounded hy Mrs. Susannah Saph, purport- ing to be the last Will of William Harcourt, Esq. of Salisbury, deceased, appointing her sole executrix, and residuary legatee ; and which was opposed by Thomas Atkinson, Esq. and Mr. W. Westcott, exe- cutors named in two former wills, on the ground of fraud, forgery, conspiracy, and perjury. This case having occupied several days' argument, the Court this day gave judgment at great length. Sir J. NICHOLI. observed, the factum of two former wills was pleaded— the one dated the 24th of October, 1818, and the other the 14th of June iu the same year. The pretended will was dated June 14, 1819. Seventy witnesses had heen examined, and a great mass of evidence introduced. This case did not turn on the question of capacity, but 011 the factum of execution, whether in reality it was the act of the testator. Three witnesses had attested the instru- ment, and if they were to be believed, there was an end of the question. Tbe manner in which instru- ments are found after the decease of testators, was most material to connect the instrument with the testamentary intentions of the deceased. The dis- interest of the parties producing thc instrument, or where it was in possession of the testator, tended to shew its genuineness. On the death of the testator, this instrument did not possess these advantages. It vvas produced by Mrs. Saph, the deceased's house- keeper. Other circumstances which excited slill stronger suspicion of the fairness of the transaction were, the Will was in the hand- writing of John Sapb, ber son ; and the attesting witnesses were himself, his brother, and a sister. The patties, it vvas evi- dent, were not unacquainted with his affairs, as his housekeeper Mrs. Saph had the entire management of his domestic concerns. This instrument was evi- dently drawn from the substance of former Wills ; but whether by the directions of the deceased became material to inquire. It was represented by the parties to this, that the former Will had been destroyed ; but it turns out, although the original was not forthcoming, that two former Wills were actually in their possession, although they stated them to bave been destroyed. This discovery took ) lace after it vvas deposed by John Saph, that when lie prepared the Will of 1819, both the former Wills and Instructions for the present had been destroyed. The Court remarked that, in genera!, suspicion attached to the destruction of former Wills or In- structions; this happened frequently where there was something to conceal. The Court did not attach much importance to the party iu this case endeavouring to snatch a probate before due lime had expired, but as connected with other circum- stances of more weight. The parties to this instru- ment were the mother nnd three children. Mrs. Saph, the mother, takes the hulk of the property; and although the others were not immediately bene- fitted as legatees, still they were likely to be influ- enced in the mother's interest. Jane Player, who lived servant with the deceased, deposed to a conversation between them, iu which Mrs. Saph said to the testator, she wished him to do something more for her; to which the testator answer- ed, he had done enough already. The deceased vvas afflicted with erysipelas, which had caused him to lose the use of his hands. Mrs. Saph said, she wished he could get the use of his hands to write, for she believed he would then do something more for her. This vvas before the date of the former Will, and by which it appeared she took only £ 10 per annum. There vvas nothing beyond personal care and attendance on the deceased that gave Mrs. Saph any claim 011 him ; though, after discharging his servant, she became his nurse and only attendant. Her history vvas this :— She had been noticed by the deceased before her marriage. At this fitne she vvas separated from her husband, and bad a large family to support in a humble situation of life. John Saph, her son, had been three years Clerk to an Attorney, and had heen dismissed from his situation; and his general character vvas liable to discredit. He was at this time iu no situation. These circumstances, although they did not warrant the presumption, yet favoured the suspicion, that he was capable of fabri- cating this instrument. The law was extremely jealous in such a transaction, conducted entirely by parties who were themselves to he benefitted ; and it was a painful duty the Court was called 011 to perform, in deciding 011 conflicting testimony. In ihis case, however, it was under no necessity of pro- nouncing against the party, as in a case of forgery, supported by perjury, which belonged not fo their jurisdiction to determine,— it merely pronounced for or against tbe validity of tbe instrument propounded. In a charge of forgery, if any doubt existed, the presumption was in favour of innocence. The Court would merely decide as to the probability whether this execution vvas tbe act. of the deceased, or of tbe party bringing forward the instrument. It was led to consider the instrument itself, and the nature of the disposition. It would compare it with former Wills. By these the testator had adhered to one deliberate purpose of leaving the bulk of his pro- perty to Mr. Westcott and iiis family, and consider- able legacies to Mr. Atkinson and his family. These persons were in his entire confidence, and he ap- pointed them Executors and Trustees. By the paper propounded an entire revolution in his testamentary intention had been manifested— not only substituting Mrs. Saph for Messrs, Atkinson and Westcott, but even to certain Bank Stock which he had left to charitable purposes; and which alter- KENT COUNTY MEETING.— In consequence of a Requisition directed to the High Sheriff, a Meeting convened by the Sheriff took place 011 Tuesday last, fo consider of the best means of alle- viating tbe distress ofthe Agricultural Interest, and of discussing the necessity of Parliamentary Reform as the only mode by which that distress could be relieved. J. C. Foote, Esq. of Charltou, moved a Petition to Parliament, complaining of Agricultural Distress, and praying for a Reform in Parliament. The Peti- tion was seconded by Mr. Ryder, and supported by Lord Darnley, Mr. Honey wood ( one of the County Members), and Mr. Larkins; but it was opposed by Sir E. Kuatehbuil, the other County Member. The notorious Cobbett now made his appearance, and said that, feeling the necessity of introducing into the petition some expression of ttieir sentiments with respect to the reduction of the interest of the National Debt, he should propose the following words as a rider to the petition :— 44 And your petitioners beg leave likewise most humbly to pray that your Honourable House will cause a just reduction of the interest of the National Debt, as soon as you have completed if reform of your Honourable House." The Earl of Darnley maintained tbe right cf the public creditor to be paid tbe debt which was justly due to him. An honest man, either in a public or private capacity, vvas bound in honourand conscience to pay what he owed. The proposer of the rider to the petition had frequently spoken of Radical Re- form, which he ( the Earl of Darnley) supposed meant annual parliaments and universal suffiage if such a plan vvas to take place, it would end iir depriving all who heard him of whatever property they possessed, and would lead to nothing short of revolution. Cobbett said, he saw no iujnslice iri lowering the interest of the Debt. He would ask, did tbey not pay tbe public creditor honestly till 1814 ; and " if so why were they now to give him three bushels of corn when before that period tbey only gave hiin one? Mr. Foote and Mr. Ryder expressed tbeir willing- ness to adopt the suggestion of Cobbett! ! Lord Darnley stated, that be would bold up his hand against the Petition, if the clause proposed by Cobbett were agreed to. The Petition, with Cohbett's amendment, was then put, and carried hy an immense majority!!! Mr. Ryder moved that the thanks of'the meeting be given to that indefatigable economist, Mr. Hume. Mr. Darrell seconded the motion ; but the Sheriff refused to put the question, as the subject was not included in the Requisition. Thanks were now voted to the Sheriff. After which, 011 the suggestion of Cobbett, the Assembly gave three cheers, ns a mark of respect to Mr. Hume !! They then dispersed. From the result of the above Meeting, the Gentry and Freeholders of fhe Kingdom, may learn the folly and danger of playing the part of cat's- paw lo the pretended Reformers; for they certainly are only paving the vvny to their own destruction when they join iu calling public meetings to discuss Re- form, as it is very evident 110 discussion will or can take place in such assemblies: tbe Reformers alias Revolutionists of our fitne, if they want honesty, do not want activity, and they muster their forces, while loyal men sleep. ut their posts _ SMALL POX HOSPITAL. On Thursday last, the Governors held their General Court at Pan eras, in order to discuss the order of their meeting in December lasl, for the dis- continuance/ hereof the practice of variolous Inocula* ( ion. His Royal Highness the Duke of York had been expected to preside, but at one o'clock ihe Secretary read a letter, expressing his Royal High, ness's regret that be should be absent from toVn at the time. Abraham Osorio, Esq the late Chair- man ofthe House Committee, was then called to the Chair, nndnfter the usual business, and electing Committees and Officers, the order for discussion of a Report, which had been previously circulated to all the Governors, was read. It stated fhe former regulations, by which, since tbe year 1808, inoculation had been refused to out- patients, and confined to the wards of tbe house, and by which variolous mailer had been also refused to any persons whatsoever It pro- ceeded lo state the causes of small- pox contagion io the metropolis, and that inoculation constituted one of them to an incalculable degree; and it shewed in detail, fhe power of vaccination to supersede small- pox. The evidences upon which its adoption bad been founded by the Colleges of Physicians Sur- geons, the Vaccine Societies, and this Hospital — that if any danger was to be apprehended from insecurity in vaccination, that would he greatly accelerated and augmented liv the contagion of inoculation • that this insecurity had never exceeded 1 in 1000, and in all those cases it produced n militated disease which was of short duration, and without danger • and it is recommended as most advisable, that upon the first appearance of small. pox, the whole neighbour- hood should he immediately vaccinated, and not ino- culated, as had heen frequently done in the hasty alarm nf anxious solicitude; and in conclusion it " stated " that in addition to the unequivocal evidence upott the records of the Hospital, those oflhe other vaccine institutions of Ihe army and navy, and of private practitioners, had amply established the security of vaccination; nnd had it been generally chargeable with insecurity, there would have been'found manv in the thousands assembled together during the late war, in the fleets and armies of tbe United Kingdom and in all populous parts of the metropolis and EmJ ministration. VEGETABLE POWDER. On Tuesday the House of Commons went inlo n Committee on the Excise Act, as far as the same regarded " Veget- able" or " Imitative Breakfast" Powder. Mr. Lush- ington then moved the two following Resolutions, which were agreed to : First,—" That it is expedient to allow the manu- facture and sale of scorched or roasted corn, peas, or beans, hy persons not being dealers in coffee, cocoa, ten, tobacco, or snuff'. 11 Secondly,— u That any manufacturer, dealer in, or seller nf such scorched or ronsled corn, pens, or beans, shall lake out a license for thai purpose, for which license tbe sum of ' 2s. 6d. shall be payable." These Resolutions were reported to the House afterwards, and Mr. Lushingloo was subsequently di- rected to prepare a Bill, pursuant to the terms of such Resolutions, and to bring iu the same. An official paper, printed by order of the House of Commons, states the estimates of the sum requisite to he granted in the present Session of Parliament, in order to enable the Commissioners for the Caledonian Canal to proceed in opening the navigation between the eastern and western seas, at £ 25,000 clear of deductions. On Friday se'nnight. a most respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Hereford took place at the Guildhall, when resolutions were entered into for building a bridge over the River Severn, to faci- litate the communication between Hereford and Cheltenham. The remains of a Roman pavement, said to be in a fine state of preservation, has heen lately discovered iu the grounds of Mr. Stokes, in Caei wcnt, Monmouthshire. Will, and he continued to he so employed hy tbe deceased even after the date of this last instrument. The deceased was near 80 years of age when he died, and was of sound mind. In the summers of 1817 and 1818, Mrs. Saph, with her sun aud daughter, accompanied hiin lo Lymington, and shewed great attention to him during his illness. The son John was employed hy Ihc deceased in receiving rents for him, when he could not write, and signing receipt in his ( Mr. II.' s) name. The Judge commented upon the signature to the Will being different front the manner in which the testator usually signed his name, hy comparison of baud writing. The final at the end of Harcourt, had the stroke drawn back instead of forward. This appeared to correspond with tbe signatures lo all those receipts wherein he had signed the name of Mr. Harcourt, hy his per- mission ; bill there was no positive evidence whether this was or was nol the execution of the testator. The story told by the attesting witnesses was, that the deceased read over the Will himself, sheet hy sheet, aud pur his signature separately to each of Ihe four sheels, JohllSupb having previously read thein to the deceased. After dwelling upon a variety of irreconcilable circumstances, which induced the Court altogetl to discredit thc testimony of these witnesses, as re- sembling a family compact, it came to the decision, that although it was not warranted iu pronouncing this paper a forgery, and that supported by perjury, which was the province of another jurisdiction to determine, yet, upon the whole of the evidence, it felt it was not warranted in giving effect to Ibis instrument, as having heen executed by the testator, bnt the duly of Ihe Court was to give- effect tothe former instrument; and Mrs. Saph not having fur- nished such evidence as that upon which the moral justice ofthe Court could rely, it was bound to con- demn her in costs. EXECUTION.— Wednesday, at one o'clock, de- tachments of horse and foot drew up in front of the Town House, Glasgow, and immediately thc doors were opened for the admission of the people. Magistrates entered the Court Hall at half past two, when James Donochy, sentenced at last Cir- cuit Court, for breaking into the cellar of a gentle- man in Gorbals, and stealing about nine dozen of wine and six of rum ( in company with Torrance, Dick, and Love, who are to be transported for 14 years), was ordered np from his cell. He imme diately came up, followed by the Rev. Mr. Scott and bis assistant, he being of thc Catholic faith. He was only five minutes in the Hall when Mr. Scott said he was ready. The Hall was cleared, and tbe prisoner, Mr. Scott, and bis assistant, proceeded to the platform, where the clergymen recited a prayer, which the prisoner repeated after them, and, on the word Amen being pronounced, Mr. Scott gave a signal to the executioner, when the drop instantly fell. On the executioner being introduced to the cell to have him pinioned, he requested th t he might have a long drop, which was attended to, aud apparently he died without a struggle. He was dressed iu black clothes and weepers. He was 21 years of age, of Irish birth, but had been about Glasgow the greater part of bis lifetime. He was noted as a very desperate character, and was one of a gang of vagabonds that had long infested that city and neighbourhood. The spectators were by no means numerous. curity, had any such occurred; whereas the most unfavourable evidence had uot produced more than 1 in 1000, within the first years of ils introduction, and these are at this time considerably diminished.'' A lengthened discussion ensued upon the effect of the proposed discontinuance of inoculation, in which llie claims of the general benefactors to the Hospital, were maturely considered, and in which il was urged that this measure was but Ihe consequence of what they had ample nolice hy the preclusion of it to oul- palients in the year 1808. Aflrr which the order was finally confirmed, and Ihe title was allered ac- cordingly to the " Hospital for the Casual Small- pox anri for Vaccination." Dr. George Gregory then presented a Medical Report, to which was annexed Mr. Wheeler llie Resident Surgeon's Return of Patients froin January 1 to June 6, whereby il appeared lhal C9 had been, admitted in the casual small. pox, of whom. 18 had died, anil that 1524 bad heen vaccinated: on which fact the Doctor stated lhat it must afford great satis- faction lo observe thnt the confidence of the public in the efficacy of vaccination would thus appci t from their hooks to be on the increase ; and it might be presumed lhat such is tbe general feelin'u-' in London, when it is considered that Ihe applicant! for vaccination at this Hospital are not confined to its own immediate neighbourhood, but are spread over the most distant parls nf the metropolis— that of some cases admitted in the varioloid disease, in the larger proportion of instances, the mildness of the secondary disorder was strikingly displayed, and within the wards of the Hospital'it afforded an in structive constrnst lo the malignant character which Ihe disease too frequently assumed in those who did nol enjoy the protecting influence of vaccination.— that Ihe proportion of persons vaccinated who are known lo bave taken the small- pox in after- life is very small— all of ihe mildest kind ; and so far from deterring from the practice of vaccination, it im- pressed upon the parents its value, and strengthened their faith in its efficacy. This Reporl, so greatly creditable to the skill and acute observation of ils author, was received with great respect by thc meeting, and ordered to be printed for circulation.
