THE I, ATE STORM.— The Holyhead Mail Coach, which ought to have arrived in Chester at four o'clock on Friday morning, the 6th inst. did not reach there till past twelve at noon. On thai line of road the storm was terrific. The coachman was blown from the box twice. The fatigue sus- tained by the horses was excessive ; and the moment the coacn arrived at the door of the Feathers Inn, Chester, one of the horses dropped down dead in the harness.—- The Hero Packet, from Liverpool tc Dublin, drove on the Salisbury Bank, ia the Wild Roads, on the Flintshire coast; tbe passengers nearly 70 in number, were saved by the gallant exertions of the boats belonging to Mostyn Quay.—• The pilot boat, No. 4, Henry Hughes, master, was lost near Abergele, and the master and two boys were drowned.— Mrs. Mary Vickers, of Wepre. and a servant man, were drowned in tlie Dee, by the. boat • upsetting in which they were conveying corn to the Sands' Windmill. During the violence of the storm, twelve fine elm- trees, of large dimensions, were torn up by the roots, in front of and in Ihe grounds of Trevallyt Hall, the seat of George Boseawen, Esq. One o the trees thai grew in the eentie of the lawn, is nine! to be regretted ; it was a very handsome, ornamenta tree; whose branches spread over a large extent o ground, and, w hich was the admiration of those whe noticed it. The circumference of the butt is twelv< feet, and contains in measurement 352 feet of soli( timber : it was planted about the year 176.0,: by tin late Mr. Bovdell, of Trevallyn— a gentleman wliosi memory is cherished with the utmost veneration b] all who had the happiness of knowing his worth We have also been informed, that great numbers o trees besides those mentioned above, were torn up ot the Trevallyn estate. It may likewise be obse ved that, four or five years ago, during a storm, tw< branches were torn from the fine tree before tin lawn, which contained upwards of 50 feet in solit timber. MONMOUTH— The storm which raged with sucl violence over the kingdom, during the afternoon am night, of the 5th instant, was felt with equal force ii this tow n and neighbourhood, though happily with out producing any effect beyond the falling of tile from the roofs of houses and o'her buildings. Bu we record, w ith deep regret, the fall of the magnili cent Jyim at Ragland Castle. This venerable tree- which formed a happy termination at the east end o ihe grand terrace, measured 26 feet in girth, am from whose trunk the two limbs which grew from th head of it, spread theii protecting shade 22 feet— fel a sacrifice to the fury of the elements, being blow from its commanding situation into the mead below This de'racti n from the beauty of the scene, ever reader of taste will deplore, being one of the leadit); features at this part of the demesne.

A great deal has been said and written wit! respect lo this celebrated Aet, but many of oui readers probably have not a clear idea of Ihe cii. cuiiistauccs which led to its introduction. They are said In lie as follow :— The Marchioness of Donegal was Miss May, anil vvas the natural daughter of a gentleman celebrated for assisting persons of fashion with loans of money Being married to the Marquess, she became the mother of seven children, and particularly of the Earl of Belfast, the eldest sou of the Marquess and herself, and heir of the title and estates. The Earl of Belfast being arrived at manhood, was reported to be ou the eve of marriage with the daughter oi another nobleman. At this juncture, the Hon Arthur Chichester, younger brother ofthe Marquess of Donegal, and heir of the title aud estates should his brother die without lawful issue, came forward, a. ul intimated his intention to dispute the validity of the marriage of his brother with Miss May : contended that, the lady, called aud calling herseli Marchioness of Donegal, was still Miss May, or ai least uot lawfully married to his brother; and cou. scq iently, that the Earl of Belfast and the otliei children were illegitimate, and that, as far as they were concerned, lie was himself the actual heir- presumptive. In this manner, at an advanced age. the Marquess and Marchioness found their maniage questioned, and their children describe.! as illegi. timate. The ground of the conduct on the part o' Mr. Arthur Chichester, was the marriage of the Marquess and Marchioness by LICENSE, ivitliou the CONSENT of any person authorised by the Ac! of 1745. Ii will be observed that, had the marriage taken place by BANNS, this objection could not have been raised.- One of the consequences of Mr Arthur Chichester's intimation was the postpone- nient , f tiie marriage of tlic Earl of Belfast; and. in the mean time, the Marquess and Marchioness commenced such proceedings in the Spiritual Couri as aft' riled tbe best chance of establishing the validity of Iheir marriage ; though their chance ii: course of law, under the Act of 1745, appears ti have been small. The course of proceeding, then, iu ihe Donegal case, was this, and in all siniilai cases is equally needful. The Marquess and Mar- chiouess discontinued to live together, while the Marquess counnencM a suit against the Marchio. uess, in the nature of an AMICABLE SUIT in Chan, eery, for what, i. i the language of the . Spiritual Cour. ts, is called " jactitation," or assumption o marriage; thereby inquiring the Marchiuiws,-. t. shew upon what pretence she called ber » .:! f h « wife, aud why she slioulil not be forbidden so to do ; aud thereby Blab affording tothe Marchioness ar opportunity to establish, if possible, the validity 0 tbe marriage by legal evidence, which evidence would then become matter of record for posterity and demonstrate the legitimacy of the children This, it appears, could not be accomplished, ane the Act was introduced, in order that its retrospect ive clauses might succeed where a straight- fdrware course had failed. In corroboration of Ihe above statemcnl, wi have lo record, that on Monday week was marriee! by special license, at St. James's Church, by thi Lord Bishop of London, the Earl of Belfast, eldes son of the Marquess of Donegal, to Lad; Harm Butler, eldest daughter of Ihe late Eai I of Glengall and sister to tlie present. The happy couple hav. pioceeded lo the Continent.

Th mother, occupying the fire below, complied wii his request, and lighted one accordingly in a rum upon ihe first floor. She had quitted the room hi a few minutes, and was engaged dressing an iufar in arms, wdien the boy in question, who had set h: clothes ou lire in lighting some straw to imitate li father ( as he told the other children) smoking h pipe, presented himself to her on the stairs, enve loped in flames. The terrified woman rushed 1 liis assistance, aud, in her alarm, loosed her hoi ofthe infant, which fell tothe ground with mac vi lence, ana was stunned. She, however, picke it up again instantly, aud clasping the biirnin bov to her, in the endeavour to extinguish tl flames, set herself and also tbe infant on lire. 11 poor woman, as . she herself relates, bow deeuiin the destruction of herself and children inejitabl. in a sate of phmuzy, exclaimed, " Oh Lord, ifit I thy pleasure, we three will burn together," ai: s\ vooi, fd away ! Most providentially at this crisi some ofthe neighbours entered the house, and foui the three helpless beings iu the situation abov described, their clothes still burning. Having p out the flames, aud recovered the mother, surgic aid was promptly obtained, and the iiufortuna i sufierers leceiveel every attention wbich skill ai Ihe best feelings could suggest. Happily the moth ' sustained no injury of a serious nature ; her ban were much burnt, but her life is spared to h • family; and the infant, although much burnt, in tl • face, it is hoped, will do we I.

MARDOL- llEAD, RESPECTFULLY announce the Receipt ' of a very large Stock of the above Articles, and also of a g- eneral Description of Winter Goods, which they are determined to sell at such Prices as have been seldom offered in this Town. This morning. were received, by express, ihe Paris Papers of Thuisday, and private letters as late as Thursday evening. There is no .. truth in the report of the Duke of Wellington's immediate return'to this country • He'remains at Paris to Carry oh negotiations wluchr are to he entered into between the great Powers— Great Britain, France, Austria,- Russia^ and Prussia •— re. ahve to the affairs of Spain. The conferences bin- ecu his Grace and the Freuch Ministers proceed in so friendly a manner, that hopes of preserving peace have become stronger.— Courier There is nothing very new or important from the Spanish frontiers. The Army of the Faith does not appear lobe in such a desperate situation 119 the Liberal Papers have represented it to be. The French . cavalry on ihc frontiers. Jia'v'e made a retrograde movement.~ The.• French Funds have i- i. en to 90f. 39c. Madrid, according to two journals that appear to be well informed upou Spanish affairs,' is in a state of precarious tranquillity. There is said to be so strong a body <> t Koyalists in the environs of the capital, that ] 2,0U0* of the national militia were ordered to inarch from Madrid on'the 291 h Nov. but nothing farther is said of this movement. Commissaries are stated to have been sent by the Spanish Government Jo the Netherlands and to England, to purchase stores, ammunition, and clothing. A lettv r from Madrid in one of the Paris Papers asserts, that the Infants Don Carlos. ami Don Francisco are kept under arrest iu their apartments •— and ihat the King is not allowed to go out without a double escort, it being feared that he. mi « jht attempt to escape. Whilst Spain is thus agitated, Portugal does not appear to submit quietly lo the, new order of tilings. Brag- a is said to be in a state of in- surrection against the Constitution, and this wiil operate as a diversion in favour of ihe Royalists of Gallicia, by relieving them from all apprehensiou of an attack from the Portuguese troops. Brussels Papers of the 10th inst. arc received. They have brought the pleasing intelligence that tlte strongest and most, important fort in the Moiva* Napoli di Romani, had at last really fallen into the hands of tiie Greeks, on the lst Nov. with, it is said, 500 pieces of cannon. We are extremely soiry to learn by the advices from Holland to- day, that, with one or two exceptions only, all the vessels i i the Texel have been cither lost or greatly damaged by the late heavy sjales. Lloyd's books to day contain a long list of the disasters. On Thursday, a letter was posted at Lloyd's from Valparaiso, dated on the 31st of July, stating that tho news received there from Peru was of an . unfavourable nature. The Royalists bad increased so considerably in power, that expectations were entertained » > f shortly hearing that Gi n. San Martin had abandoned Lima. A letter from Rio Janeiro says that the new JEmperor of Brazil ( lately Prince Regent of Por- tugal) is a young man of great activity and energy, and belovetl by the people to excess. Genera! Lecor, who held Monte Video, has de- clared for the Braz. i an cause, and left the fortress. Ail the European Portuguese at Rio were winding lip their concerns, no doubt continuing of Brazil maintaining r independence against Portugal. COURT OF CHANCVRY.— On Thursday, the Lord Chancellor gave judgment in the Portsmouth cause, lu fhe course of his observations, his Lord- ship declared he would not prejudice the question by the expression of any opinion as to the con- tiWice Or incontinence of Lady Portsmouth— nor would he give any opinion as to whet' er there was any ground for saying that ill- treatment had been used to the Noble Lord— nor whether adultery had been committed, lu fact, he should not, knowing as he did, the circumstances that had taken place in Ihe family for the last - twenty years, do more than send the case for the decision of a Jury, con- vinced as he was that the case now did require farther inquiry. Mis Lordship directed a Commis- sion of Lunacy to issue, for the purpose of inquiring' into the state of Lord Portsmouth's mind ; which, to save expense, was directed to be held in Middle- sex. It is again reported that considerable reductions in our public departments will take place at Christmas.

Among the many fortuitous cir- cumstances to which a considerable proportion of the verdicts of1 Not Guilty' may be attributed, I may enumerate tbe manner, art, and nature of tbe defence, the leniency of tlie prosecutor, points of law, the absence of witnesses, tbeir frequent disinclination to give evidence when in tbe box, tbe misconstruction, partiality, nay sometimes tbe perseverance of the Jury. On this subject I could tell many memorable tales if time would permit ; but I will now proceed to the difficulty and probable consequence of this ex- periment. Gentlemen, you cannot easily imagine the additional tasfi an extra Circuit will impose upon those who have the laborious honour of filling situa- tions similar to tbat which I now occupy ; and I can assure you that it will he heavily felt by the sturdiest of us, and particularly by those who, from the accu. mutating weight of years, and the enervating languor of age, are linle calculated to hear a proportionate increase of anxiety and labour ; but I will not now dwell upon this subject, for the answer is ready— Let such retire and make way for younger and abler men. There is another important consideration, and it is one which you will be well able to appreciate : If tbis is to be tbe precursor of three permanent annual Assizes, will gentlemen of your description be con- tent to leave your homes at a season of flie year de- voted to domestic comfort and repose ? What good effect can possibly be produced from this measure ? Men of tbe fiist importance iu society, some of them representing their countrymen in Parliament, look forward to Ibis natural and seasonable period of tbe year for leisure and enjoyment; and it cannot rea sonably he expected tbat tbey will forego that leisure and those pleasures, in order lo attend a Christmas As. size at some distance, perhaps, from their! bines. Gen tlemen, the inevitable consequence must be, that the execution of those important duties will devolve upon men of a lower description ; aud highly and justly as I may value the native sense and sound judgment of those whom 1 term a lower description of men, I trust tbe great and judicial authority which you are now sworn duly to exert, will ever he in the hands of gentlemen of the first cqn$ idenpipn and tbe highest rank in the social intercourse of irieir native town or connty But, gentlemen, Ihere is another class still more interested in tbe present iuauspjeibn § experi- ment— I mean thai heavily suffering and depressed class, ti. e yeomanry of tbe county : tbe exigencies qf ihe limes have sometimes required them lo leave their harvest or their plough for the advancement of the general good ; bnt when tbey are told tbat a per manent Christmas Assize is to trtke place in their county town, will they, do you think, receive the intimation with pleasure ? No ! the term will sound most harsh and grating in their ears : tbey will regret being obliged to leave tbeir homes at a. period de- voted to comfort and joy forthe execution of a painful and sometimes melancholy duly. Such in occupation of Christmas will he a stain upon the religion of your ancestors, of w hich it is a most interesting commemo- rative era ; for, from the earliest time, when first the sacred light of . Christianity dawned upon the world, this § eason of the year has ever been devoted to joy and pleasure, and the inhabitants of a christian country will never he reconciled to a Christmas execution, in thf place of a Christmas cqrnivaI, These are some of tbe ideas that have arisen in my mind on tbe con sideralioti of a subject tbat appears to me, on many points, highly objectionable.'' The Editor of an Evening Paper having com- mented on the above charge, and intimated that th< e expression? pf the learned Judge w ere uot suf ftcieuty humane asregas'ding the un fortunate persons iu custody, a Correspondent addressed a letter to him, in which the writer observes— " With surprise and regret, 1 rea( J a paragraph in your Paper of Wednesday evening, censuring Mr. Baron Graham for disapproving of a third Circuit. Wheiher this measure originated with Ministers, or with some adventurer in Parliament, desirous of making for himself a character among the silly philanthropists of the age, I know not. It professes to have two objects : one to prevent tbe long* imprisonment of persons ultimately acquitted : the other to spare the expense of maintaining these persons in prison. You a. dmit, with the Judge, that almost all of those who are accju- tted escape the penalty of their guilt, by the lenity, indolence, or neglect of the prosecutors, the absence of wit- nesses, defects of proceedings, compassion of juries, See.— Few of the acquitted are really innocent The Scotch have a good phrase on such occasions— Net proven." Niueteen in twenty of the prison ers ( London being out of the question) are day- labourers, or in occupations equally humble. If they are released at Christmas, it is uot likely, thai with a bad character, nay even with a g'ood one, they can find employment. If they have a parish to fall upon, they cm obtain less of who esome food, clothing, and lodging, than in a gaol, the law having directed that character shall be an import- ant consideration in giv ng relief; but they will have personal liberty and spirituous liquors! If tbey have uo parish to go to, they must probably beg or steal. It would be humanity to detain, or rather to maintain, such persons in prison till a milder season arrived ; and, with reference to guilt or innocence, there would be no violation of moral justice; not certainly in one case out of fifty. What rule can be laid down to which there will not occur some exceptions ? But there are other ways of qualifying the evil complained of. More criminal cases should be tried at tbe Quarter Sessions in October and January. Light punishments are there inflicted. The Magistrates know much of the accused, the nature of thp particular offence, and should not send to trial at the Assizes? a case, simply on account of its enormity, in strict legal definition, when the circumstances accompanying it divest it of atrocity. In Worcestershire, I am told, the Magistrates* sometimes hold the Quarter Sessions just before the Assizes, clear the gaol of all, except, very grave offenders, and are compli- mented by the Judges, who do not know what the Sessions have done, for their activity in preventing crimes. If a prisoner be committed for trial at the Assizes, the Gaol Committee should enquire of tfye committing Magistrate the circumstances of the case, and if these are not aggravated, the trial should be ordered for the Sessions. In this way the prisous ini^ it be almost cleared in October and January, and justice would be equally well admi- nistered. Too much— too many frivolous cases are left for the Judges* frivolous, in fact, though, in legal description, most heinous. The Sessions should do something more than try petty assaults, and appeals under the Poor Laws. There is gene- rally less legal di$ culty in larcenies, and in most felonies, than in the cases tbe Sessions decide. " Supposing fifty prisoners to be enlarged iu December, instead of March, and that each would have cost sixpence per day to the County, one hundred guineas would be saved out of about £ 5, <> 00 per annum, the general expense of a connty. But the Assizes cost the county a considerable sum; they cost the Judges money, and tbey cost the High Sheriffs some hundreds. Perhaps the county might be saved a score of pounds, or two; but the public officers would be nut to a very great, expense, particularly the High Sneriff, who, in these times of Agricultural deficit, is not well prepared to bear it. " In Baron Graham's objections to this serious inroad on our greatest religious festival on this annual period ot devotion, and of social intercom*' 1, SO peculiarly of family association and recognition, I most heartily concur. The Judges cud lawyers of all descriptions must l, enve their homes to travel into strange beds every other night, in the most inclement weather. Tlie resident freeholders must be summoned to Grand Juries a^ d Special Juries — the townsmen to Petit Juries. Prosecutors, fit- nesses, constables, javelin- men, & c. must he put in motion; the whole county be agitaled; hundreds, with the Judges at their bead, be deprived of the solace of the season, that two score of worthless persons may starve in freedom for three months, rather than be in comparative comfort in confine- ment. For this, tbe Judges ofthe land, and othes,- high Officers, are to bid adieu to the happiest days in the round of domestic enjoyment among their children arid grand- children. Those who know, the fatigue of the Judges on the circuit, wonder they can endure it, and pity their sufferings. Sit- ting nine or. ten hours. at a stretch, exert rig their voices, their faculties, and tjien;. patience ; op, pressed by heat, till they are fain ting ; tiavglling long journies, late and early. And all this is now to be done iu the depths of iVo. st and sn w, t able to. the chills and dangers of sudden transitions from cold to beat, from heat to cold !• Truly, Sir, this new measure is. a deplorable instance of the want . of intelligence aud of good sense, which charac- terise so many of the laws of the modern philan thropists.'" irelanqT" We ha- vc mu<' l} pleasure in copying the outline of a Speech delivered at a jate Meeting of the County <> f Kerry by Judge Day :— 41 Mr,. Sheriffs- 1 rise obedience to the flattering and too partial call of this respectable meeting, to ' move a Resolution or two, expressive of the deep, and, I trust, tbe igdelitye gratitude of this county, for tbe splendid munificence of Great Britain in alleviation of the late calamities visited by an avenging! God upon the enormous and atrocious transgressions of this sinful country. . This hea- venly manna has descended upon every peasant, • and ^ heered the humblest cottage in the wilderness. Tbe dew of heaven has refreshed our vales and mountains, and made the desert smile. It has un- folded new and nobler qualities in the British character already abundant in excellence, and practically taught us. the incalculable value of- British connexion; and in so doing has accom- plishe-' i an union more solid and better cemented than any Act of Parliament could effect. Is it po § sible? whilst gratitude continues an indigenous plant ot Irish soil— whilst memory holds a seat, in tbe breast of honour— to forget thp generous hearts that expanded to relieve our wants, or the unparal- leled beueYolence tbat stepped between our famish-. ing. peasantry and death ? Who is there amongst us who does not now feel it his proudest Iwxist aiid glory to be identified with that noble people— that does not exult in being united with the Queen of. Nations? And under a Monarch, the idol of his people ! The first King who ever came amongst us but as a fugitive, Oppressor, or a Conqueror ! who came in the heavenly spirit of conciliation^' with healing in bis wings"— an Irish King, w ho, upon trending Irish ground, spurned the vulgar pseort of soldiers and constables, and, with the courageous confidence of a magnanimous Prince, flung liimself at once upon the safest and proudest escort of Kings- the hearts and shoulders of a warm . hearted und raptur us people ! In a word, a King who, in demonstration of his love of Ireland, has giyen us— what God knows we long wanted — a* Statesman for our Viceroy, who devotes himself to yonr interest, and stakes his bright character on . the moral and physical amelioration of his native country,: and the fulfilment of hi § tteyal Master's high commands. Of such a Sovereign and such a People let Ireland, trnmpet- tongued, and with one voice proclaim-- SEMPER . HONOR NOME'- QUE . TUUM LAUDKSQUE MANEBIXT.

In a word, all they require is, that you he true and faithful to your own interest. Thus froth bitterness may sweets be extracted, and our very misfortunes beooiup, lessous of wisdom, and tbe source of future competence, comfort, and happiness." COACH ROBBERIES. The following paragraphs will shew the con- ' sequences which have followed the recent vegoci- • at ions wifh thieve* : — On the f> th inst. the Exeter Subscription Coach was robbed ofa bankers' parcel, containing.£ 1.000 in bank notes, and i » gold. On the coach stopping in Piccadilly, thp . Guard opened the door of the coach., having alight in his. hand, and looked ' under tb. e seat wb. ere tbe parcel lay with a few others. At the same moment, a man at the other side of tbe coach looked in at the win ow, ancl spoke to the Guard, as if there w is some acquaint-, auce between them. The Guard then shut down the seat without taking any thing, $ nd closed the door ofthe coach. Vpry SoOp afterwards, a man ( wbohy two women in the coach believed to he tlie " sauie that had spoken to the Guard) said to them as they sat in the coach, give me that parcel? Under tbe impression that he was a porter connected With the coach, they raised np the seat, and handed to him the parcel nearest to them. The coach then drove off to the Bull and Mouth, and there jt was dis- covered hy the Guard that the valuable parcel he had beeu entrusted with wa$ j got. e. On Thursd y afternoon^ shortly before the Bal-, loon coach to Birmingham usually leaves London,' two parcels, tiie otie directed to Messrs. ' iHiylors" and Lloyds, and the other to Messrs. Gibbins, Smith, aud Co. of Birmingham, hankers, werei* during the momentary absence of the guard to whose care they were entrusted, taken from t he scat?- of the coach, and carried off unperceived. They contained promissory notes'of tbe two firms, to the amount ot between seven and eight thousand- pounds, which had been paid by their London^ agents- Immediately the robbfi y was discovered/, information was given at Bow- street, and a reward of two thousand pounds offered for the recovery of the parcels apd conviction of the parties. Circulars, containing the description and numbers of the notes, hiive since been printed and transmitted generally through the country, so that, it is hoped, any attempt to throw them into circulation wiil be frustrated. We copy the following particulars of the manner in which the latter robbery js said to have been effected, from a London evening paper : — " At four the guard of the coach, which was about to set off for Birmingham, appeared in thp yard of the Swan with Two Necks Inn, Lad- Ian/?, in preparation for the journey. The horsekeep'er, who had just put to the cattle, observed a man walk up to the door ofthe coach with a great coat and throw the coat upon the seat, as if he irvtenned to follo. w it soon after. The guard, who also saw the stranger throw i\} the coat, asked the horsekeeper who the person was, to which the other replied— 4< Why, he's a passenger of y. our's to be surp." The guard took it. for granted that there was nothing to be apprehended from the man who had been the object of bis inquiry, and proceeded to load the coach. He had in hi* possession three parcels of the notes of country bankers, one of which was directed to Messrs. Oibbins, Smith, and Co. and another of them to Messrs. Taylors and Lloyds, Birmingham. These t\ vo were laid by the guard on the seat of the coach, opposite to that on which the coat, lay, intending, as he said, to deposit them in a place of more security in a few moments. ITe had not turned his back for many s^ co& d. s, when the two parcels and tlie great coat disappeared. The guard bad put tbe tjiir.' l parcel in his coat pocket lie immediately ran off to $ ir Jam? s Esdaile's, and Messrs. Han bury nt; d Taylor's banking bouses, from which he had ppeiyed the parcels, aqd in- formed them of the robbery, but could giv. e. no de- scription of the person who threw his great coat iuto the coach. — judging from the manner in which the tiling was done, th. e policy are of opinion that the notes are in the r/ i/ o- ( amongst the mail coach thieves). Those who nogociated upon the cWe- brated Ipswich Jjank- note robbery, expect to be applied to on th'S occasion to make a similar at- raugement, and it is conjectured tbey will have to deal vyjll> t^ e saine pfltrty." Wolverhampton, Coventry, Carnarvon, & c have agreed to petition fu- the repeal of ihe Insolvent Debtors' Act.— A Meeting tor the same • purpose takes place at Chester to morrow, and one at Birmingham on jFriday.

As the expense of maintaining the poor presses so heavily at ibis time, il may be interesting to offer a few remarks on the origin of the Poor Laws. Anciently the maintenance of the Poor was chiefly an ecclesiastical concern, for which purpose a fourth ,..,,<.„ f til,- lithe iu evny pari, I. « » . » . apart.

' I he planting of extensive tracts for timber or fuel does uot ap, eav to have been practised by auy pe pie till the beginning of the sixteenth ceiltury, when the insufficiency of the natural forests, which had hitherto supplied civilized society in England with limber and fuel, rendered planting a matter of necessity and profit. A tree or trees, in a growing state, may he useful by affording shelter mid improving the local clim- ate, improviug- bad soils, producing shade, by separation, seclusion^ dist notion, appropriation, lioucealmetit of disagreeable objects, heightening the effect of agreeable objects, creating beauty, and adding value prospectively. The fact that the climate may be thus improved, has, in very many instances, beeu sufficiently established-. It is in- deed astonishing how much better cuttle thrive ill fields even but moderately sheltered, than they do iu an open, exposed country. In the breeding of cattle, a sheltered faun, or a sheltered corner in a farm, is a thing much prized; and in instances where fields are taken by the season for the pur- pose of fattening theni, tliose most sheltered never tail to bring the highest rents, provided thc soil be equal with that of the neighbouring fields which are not sheltered by trees. The advantages arising from shelter are, the arresting thc progress of Impetuous and dangerous winds ; maintaining the temperature of the air ; regulating the seasons ; lessening intense cold ; opposing the formation and increase of ice ; mode- rating intense heats ; dispersing hail, snow, nnd watery clouds ; and preserving the soil on moun- tains, by which their external figure is maintained. Tbe profits of planting are great when properly executed, and this idea adds solidity to the enjoy- ment. Pleasure alone may satiate ; but profit aud pleasure united, seldom fait of producing a lasting gratification. In bleak, exposed situations, the . - L:- L 1 arisen from screen planta- SOUTH AMERICA. [ EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] u Santiago, July 20. 44 Tt is now something more than a month since we returned to Valparaiso, in the Higgins, after an absence of almost two years. It is scarcely neces- sary to inform yon, that we were well received by all classes, and particularly by the Supreme Director O'iliggihs, who, I assure yon, is quite an English- man at heart, and a very worthy good fellow. I accompanied Lord Cochrane hither, and am living with him ; we spend oirr time very pleasantly. " I have already told you of my appointment as Major. Campaigning is not the most agreeable manner of passing one's life; I have escaped hitherto, but probably may not be so fortunate if I try il much oftener. But I look forward to being made a Colonel; and as Chiloe is still to be taken, an expedition thither might effect that. Thai island, I believe, contains from 70,000 to 80,000 inhabitants, a brave and hardy race, most of them trained up to the use of arms, and it is supposed will make some resistance. 44 I have sometimes thought of giving a full de- scription of ortr last cruize, bnt really it has been so full of disappointments, difficulties, and, I may truly add, great misery, that I find myself unequal to give you an adequate idea bf what we suffered ; the only circumstance that enabled us to support such trials, w; as the hope of falling in with Ihe Spanish frigates which we chased for more lhan 8000 miles, iu ships in such a stale that none but a Cochrane would have done; for my part,. I confess to you, that it was only a feeling of Kononr that induced me twsail in a vessel, where frequently the water casks were swimming about in tbe hold, with a hundred men constantly at the pumps, with worn- out sails, bad cordage, wounded iha* ts, putrid dried beef, and above all, absolutely one and twenty days with no other than rain water for 340 men, which had it not fallen, we must have perished ; this arose from our having lost a great many of our casks, while watering on Ihe coast. 44 In a few days a preparatory Convention will meet for the purpose of forming some Constitution for this country, which, np to the present day, I as FOOT- E ACE.-— On Monday mornings! foot racc took place between two celebrated runners, named Cornelius Corfield and John Draper, natives of Chelmarsh, near Bridgnorth. The race was for a considerable sum, and betting even at starting. Thc distance was from Sutton to the Ball Inn, Brid£ • north, full five miles aud a half, over bad roads^ hills and vales, and they accomplished the task under twenty- eight uiinutes. C'oifield won by a few yards. The following is a more coj- reet statement of thc accident that lately befel Sir B. Graham, Bart, than that which lias appeared in most of the papers — 44 On going over a gate his horse came down, and fell upon him. Another gentleman, who was behind, also came down with bim, and fell on the Baronet. He was for a long time sense- less, but is now much better. His principal injury is in the chest, which is much bruised by the pum- mel of the saddle." Afresh supply of horses has been found neces- sary on the Dover road, in consequence of the* great number of couriers with expresses, who pass daily between London aud Paris, for stockbrokers. The horses are kept ready saddled at all times, and the riders travel at the rate of thirteen miles at* hour. . .. ... • i • , , , c~ i tions have hi some cases been so great as to be turn in the disposal thereof, assisted by the church- i „ .,?„ wardens and principal inhabitants. Hence the pa- rochial settlement became established. Afterwards, when the tithes of many of the parishes became appropriated to the monasteries, those societies bad some share, likewise ( by reason of the said . tithes, and other, donations for that purpose), iu the relief of the poor; and the rest were made up by voluntary contributions. But though the relief of the poor Was nn ecclesi- astical concern, it is not true ( as some byve. itnagim d) that the common law of England made no provision for the poor: the Mirror slates to the contrary. ( 1 Hurrow, 450 ) By the 12 Rich. 2, cap 7(. V. L>. 1389), and 19 Hen. 7, cap 12 ( A. 1). 1504), the poor ] were directed to abide in tbe hundreds wherein they were born, or Whenii' they had resided for three yeais, thereby restraining tbem from wandering abroad ; within w hich they were allowed to beg. Till the27th Hen 8 cap. 25, we find ho. compulsory method laid down for ihe maintenance of the poor, but they seem to have been left to such, relief as tbe humanity of their neighbours wo « 4d afford. The monasteries were iheir principal resource, and among other bad effects which attended monastic ins'itu- tions, il was not one of the leasl ( though frequently esteemed otherwise)., that they supported and fed a ve ry numerous aud idle poor, whose sustenance depended upon what was daily distributed in alms at the gates of the religious houses. But upon tbe total dissolution of these, lire inconvenience of thus encouraging the poor in habits of indolence and beggary, was qu'ckly felt throughout the kingdom ; and abundance of statutes were made in the reign of Henry VIII and his children, for providing for the poor and impotent, which some of tbe preamb'es recite, had, of late years, greatly increased. Toe statute 27th Hen. 8, cap; 25, required the inhabitants of the hundreds, towns corporate, parishes, and ham lets, to sustain the poor wilh such voluntary clia- rilnhle alms, as that lione of them might of necessity be compelled to go. openly begging, on pain thai every person making default should forfeit twenty shillings a month. And the churchwardens, or other substantial inhabitants, were to make Collections for lhem with boxes on Sundays, arid otherwise, at discretion. Antl the minister was to take a'. l oppor- tunities to exhort aud stir up lie peopie'to be liberal and bountiful. The poor were principally of two sorrs— sick, and impotent, and therefore triable to work ; idle and sturdy, and able, but not billing to exercise any honest employment. To provide, in soirie measure, lor. both of these, in and about the metropolis, Edward VI. founded three royal hos- pitals, . Christ's and St Thomas's, for relief of the impotent, through infancy or sickness ; aiid Bride- well for the punishment and employment of the vigorous and idle. By l* t Edw. 6, cap. 3, houses were to be provided for the poor by tlie devotion of good people, and . materials to set them on work; and the Minister, after the Gospel every Sunday^ was specially to exhort the parishioners to a liberal Contribution. By the 5th und 8th of Edw. 6, cap. 2, tbe minister and chut chic ar dens were annually to appoint two able persons, or mote, lo be gatherers and '' collectors of a hits for< the poor; and they were, on a certain Sunday in every year, immediately . after Divine Service, lo take dozen in icriting what every person was willing to give weekly for the ensuing year; and if any should be obstinate and refuse I o give, the minister was .. gently to exhort him; if he still refused, the minister was to certify « och refusal to the bishop : and the bishop was to send for bim, to induce and persuade him by charitable ways and means, and so according to his discretion to take order for the reformation thereof. And by the 5th Eliz. cap. 3, if he stood out against the bishop': xh. ortatiou, the bishop was to certify the same New Bridge over the Severn.— Subscription* to the amount of more than £ 17,000 are already entered into towards effecting the projected cast- iron bridge over the river Severn at the Haw Pas>, sage, and making improvements in the roads be ween Coombhill and Staunton Swan. The tola. 1 expense of the bridge and improvements has beei* estimated at £ 1 / ,925, by an eminent civil engineer,, Mr. Walker.— The inhabitants of Cheltenham, and those who support the Haw Bridge in preference estimated at a third of the value of the laud, and in every case where shelter is wanted they must be very considerable. It is too common a case to consider a tree when once planted as done with ; though, as every one knows, the progress and products of trees, like those of other plants, may be greatly increased by pruning and thinning. Tbe most important part of tree culture is PRUNING, since on it, in almost every case, depends the ultimate value, and, in most cases, the actual bulk of timber produced. In I the purposes of pruning^ as for most other practic- able purposes, the division of trees into resinous or j fronaose branched trees, is to procliice a trunk with clean bark and- sound timber ; that in pruning branchy- stemmed trees is principally to direct the ligneous matter of the tree into the main stem or trunk, and also to produce a clean stem and sound timb r, as in the other case. The branches of fr; ndps3 trees, unless in extraordinary cases, never acquire a timber size, but rot off from the bottom npwa ds, as the tree advances in height- and age ; a d therefore, whether pruned or hot, the quantity of timber in the form of trunk is the same. The branehesof the other division of trees^ however, when left to spread out on every side, often acquire a timber- like size; and as the ligneous matter they contain is in general far from being so valuable as when produced in the form of a straight stem, the loss by not pruning otf their side branches, or preventing them from acquiring a timber- like size, is evident. Cn the other band, when they are broken off by accident, or rot off by being crowded together, the timber of the trunk, though in these cases iner as ' d in quantity, is rendered knotty and rotten in quality. With lespeet to the manner of pruning, where 8' raight timber is the object, both classes in their infancy should be feathered from the bottom up- wards, keeping tbe tops spiral and light, something resembling a young larch. The proportion of their tops should be gradually diminished, year by year, till about their twentieth year, when they'sbould occupy a third part ofthe height ofthe plant; that is, it the tree be thirty feet high, the top should be ten feet. In all cases In pruning off tbe branches, the; utmost care must be taken not to lea ve any stumps sticking out, but to cut them into tlie quick. It is only by this means that clean timber can be procured for the joiner; or sightly, smooth- stemmed trees to please tlie eye. It is a'very general prac- tice to leave snags or stumps ; before the. bole can be enlarged sufficiently to cover these, many years must elapse ; the stumps in the mean time become rotten, and the consequence is— timber, which, when sawn up, is only fit. for fuel. The sap of ^ a tree may be considered as the raw material furnished by nature; and man, the manu- facturer^ who moulds it into the form most useful for his purpose. A moderate quantity of leaves and small wood is necessary to every tree ; but all above that quantity are of no use to the plant, and of little value to its owner. Strength is gained as effectually by a few branches to form a head as by manv. II'I una l, OUHII V. <•!%.••, VI. .11* * II. 1 ' .

The inhabit- ants of Tewkesbury and its vicinage are not less confident in the success of their design lo erect a bridge over the Severn at the Mythe, near that town, and are pursuing w ith earm stness the neces- sary measures to carry il inlo effect. The probable cost of the bridge, and avenues thereto, at ihis spot, is calculated al about £ 21,00 , of which £ 11,000 has already been furnished. The properly thinning out of plantations is a matter of the first importance iu their culture. How'evcr much attention be paid to tbe article of pruning, if the plantation be left too thick, it will be inevitably ruined. A circulation of air, neither too great nor too small, is essential to the welfare of the whole. This should uot be wanting at any period of the growth of the plantation ; but in esses where it has been prevented by neglect, it • nun's not ") e admitted all at once, or suddenly, to the ' Opening- a plantation ton much at once, is a sure ' way to destroy its health aud vigour.

The duties of au overseer are principally to raise competent sums for Ihe necessary relief of the poor, impotent, old, blind, aud such other being poor nu< i 1 facturin a century to form plantations, yet it has been also so generally the custom to neglect their future culture, that by far tlie greater proportion of the surface covered with trees in Britain may he con- sidered as neglected or mismanaged. The artificial s: rips and masses have generally never been thinned or pruned ; and the natural woods and copse woods, improperly thinued or cut over. Small wounds, such as are required to be made by j udiciouS pruning, easily heal up of themselves; large wounds, by amputations of branches above six inches in d aineter, should, if possible, never be made. Even wounds of six inches diameter or unuer, will heal quicker by the application of any material which excludes the air and preserves the wood from corruption ; and for this purpose use coal tar, or the liquor produced from coals in tnann not able lo wink; and to provide icork for such as are able and cannot otherwise gel employment; but this lat'er part nf their duty, which, according to the wise regulations of 43d Eliz should go haud~ iri hand with Ihe other, has, for years past, heen most shamefully neglected.

With a princely fortune, be possesses the means, and wilh a generous soul, the spirit, lo exercise an unexampled benevolence. Gibraltar, Ihc place of his birth, testifies to the various large pecuniary donations made to distressed objccta of all descriptions. As lie is an English subject, his generosity has been directed more towards the English than to any olher nation; and innumerable testimonials of acknowledgment aud obligation are given him from the Governors and Military Chiefs of Gibraltar. Influential aud pecuniary aid have been afforded, in moments of extreme exigency, to our army and navy : the public thanks of the whole garrison, drawn out on parade, aud of our marine com. manders, bave been rendered him in the must solemn manner, for his protection, and promoting tbe measures of Government.
