By promoting gentle expectoration,, it very shortly relieves the patient of. a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remove those which ne- glect. has rendered mure confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious symptoms.

The panic n llich has for some time pervaded the monied interest and the commercial world, w as greatly augmented Ihis morning hy the hanking house" of Sir Peter 1' ole, Thornton, and Co. in Bartholomew. lane, suspending iis payments. Il is understood, lhat for some days this highly re. spcctable firm has been severely pressed, inconse- quence of the exaggerated alarm which prevails, and affects more or less the credit of every esla. blishrncnl; but they were able to meet every en. gligement up to Saturday inclusive, but this morn- ing the payments were suspended.— The eftcct on the money market has been excissive, and such as Ihe stoppage of no single banking house, how. ever rcspcclable, could justify. The Three per Cents. Reduced, which opened al 81 § , fell as low as 7flld ; and even Exchequer Bills arc al a dis- count of 60. The house of Sir Peter Pole and Co. is connected with upwards of forty counlry banks, so extensive are the ramifications of its business, and ihe alarm at least will of course be equally extensive. No further mischief has occurred, wilh I lie ex- ception of llie stoppage of ihe Huddersfield bank.

" Author of the Tulip and Mignonette" SIR, I cannot help feeling highly flattered al the un- called- fr Compliments you have been pleased lo lavish on me and my production.

But, Sir, I am sorry it is out of my power to pay you so wonderful a compliment : for, I have looked in vain for a spurk of Apollo's fire in your composi- tion. 1 must be just! You say " 1f gain you desire, some handicraft seek.'' Good Sir, 1 covet no other gain than your disap- probation!— How kind iu yoo lo recommend uie llastc with " pick axe and hammer," tu break stones on Ihe road, w ith " my brethren!" How liberal in you to acknowledge I am good for some- thing ; for there is a description of people fit for nothing, excepting the purposes of coarse astd puerile invective, or the throwing of harmless, farthing squibs into their neighbours' faces !

B. Sale SMi On Thursday last, a meeting was held at the house of R. Phavre, Esq. Clnremonl, in Ibis town, lor Ihe purpose of forming " The Shropshire and Shrews- bury Ladies' Association, Auxiliary to the Sunday School Society for Ireland." ' I be meeting was attended by many Ladies of rank and fortune front even remote parts of Ihe county iiid various resolutions were passed for the prose- cution of ibis important object. CIRCUS, SIIRI WSBURY.— We find that the Circus, in Bridge Place, is undergoing great alter ations, in particular the stage part of the house which, we believe, was not intended originally fi Equestrian Melo dramatic Pieces. But Mr. II Adams is making lofty door- ways in Ihe outward walls, so as lo admit his beautiful stud of horses to appear in the above place. The company will be numerous, consisting of 30 performers, and 12 of the most beautiful horses in the kingdom. TURNPIKE ACT.— Much misconception hav ing takeu place, relative to the tire, shape, and breadth of wheels to be used after the 1st of January, 1826, we think it right to state, that by the Act 4th Geo. IV. c. 95, sections 1 and 3: the regulations of the former Turnpike Act, as to the shape of the surface and as to the breadth of the wheels of waggons, carts, & e. used on any turnpike road are done away ; but it is enacted that after the 1st of January, 1826, the nails of tbe tire of the wheels of such waggons, carts, & c. shall be so countersunk, as not to project beyond one quarter of an inch above any part- of the surface of the tire, under a penalty uot exceeding 40s. on the owner, aad not exceedin; 20s. ou the driver. Wo are authorised to state, that Ihe plans of the Birmingham and Liverpool Railway have been deposited with ihe Clerks of the peace, preliminary to Ihe intended application to Parliament in the next session for an Act; and we are informed that the line has been so well selected, that no stationary engine will be required throughout its whole ex. tent. Wednesday last, an inquest was held at the Com- mercial fnn," ill Bridgnorth, before James Milner, Gentleman, Coroner for the Town and Liberties of Bridgnorth, on view of Ihe body of Wm. Williams, aged 64 years, landlord of the Boar's- Head Inn. in the parish of Taslcy.— It appeared the deceased was attending his horse and cart, on his road home, sober, aud in bis usual good health, when he suddenly fell, and was a corpse in a moment, and, what is remarkable, in sight and wilhin a very few- yards of ihe above Coroner's door.— Verdict, " Died by the visitation of God."

His re- mains were interred in the grave < f those of the late JVTrs. Stedman, in the eastern : orner bf the churchyard; the funeral service teing read by the Rev. Edward Williams, of Etton, between whom and the deceased a friendship existed which bad been ripened by the conumnications of many years' acquaintance and coriespoudence. Pursuant to the recommendation of the Parishi- oners assembled at the Special Meeting on Thursday last, nearly all the respectable Pa- rishioners, as a mark of respect, closed their shops and houses during the time of the Funeral; and more than sixty of them followed the corpse of their departed Pastor to " the house appoint- ed for all living." The following was the order of the Funeral Procession: Miltes. Parish Clerks of St. Chad and St. Alkinohd. Chariot, in which were the Rev. E. Williams and the ltcv. J. Langiey^ , / Under Bearers. HEARSE. i; Mourning Coach, in which were Mr. T. Sftdmi ® , Rev. Dr. Stedman, Mr. 11. Stedman, John Baehe, and tbe Rev. Edward Polehampton, sons and sqns- iif. kw of the deceased.

Richards and Key. It. L. Burton, Supporters of the Pall. Parishioners aud Friends. Mr. Stedman, when in the spring of his life, and in the bloom of his intellectual & bodily strength, entered upon bis Ministerial duties in Shrews bury as Curate of tbe Parish of Holy Cross and St. Giles, where he was not only a very usefu but an highly esteemed Preacher. From the Curacy of that Parish, Mr. Stedman, on the death of the Rev. ThomasHunipbries, M'A. succeeded, in December, 1783, to the Vicarage of this the extensive and populous Parish of St. Chad. Throughout the long intercourse which followed his accession to tbe living, an uninterrupted interchange of kindly feeling existed between Mr. Stedman and every class of his Parishioners; deed, pious, humble, affable, exemplary, and conciliating as was his general character, it ould have been strange if any thing should have intervened to disturb this reciprocity of ood- will: and the feeling of regret at his being obliged, some years ago, from the infirmities of advancing age, and from the effects of a labori- ous and zealous performance of the duties of an active Ministry, to relinquish his public services, could only be heightened by the event yvhich has giv? n occasion to this imperfect sketch, and to which all must alike prepare to submit. Mr. Stedman published several works on reli ous topics; and few, we will venture to say, perused even the smallest tract, of his writing ithout being benefitted by the mild, pastoral and persuasive yet conclusive language in which, as in his oral discourses, he so happily conveyed the most important truths. The following works have issued from his pen : Tbe Country Clergyman's Advice to his Parishioners. An Address delivered at the House of Industry, Shrews, bury, Dec. 13, 1780. A Letter to tbe Inhabitants of St. Chad's Parish, on the late Fall of their Church, 1788. Letters to and from Dr. Doddridge, 1790. Letters to a Young Clergyman [ himself] from the late Rev. Mr. Job Orton, I7SU. A Sermon on the 30th of January, 1793. Letters from tbe Rev. Sir James Stonhouse, Bart. M. D to the Editor, 1800. A Letter on the Doctrine of Atonement. On Sunday morning last, in the course of his sermon, the Rev. John Lang- ley, Ofiiciating Minister of St. Chad's, took the opportunity of paying a very appropriate tribute to the metnor and virtues of the deceased. As a matter of record, it may not be improper to mention, that the new tenor bell of St. Chad ang- muffled for the first time ou the occasion of Mr. Stednian's death; and that the sermon bell, chiming for church, the knell, & c. were rung muffled on Sanday and on Sunday night. A numrrons and respectable company of Lades- men and friends, dined at ( he Unicorn Inn, in liiis town, on Monday last, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Bromley chairmen, to celebrate Ibe nuptials of the R. ev. E. P. Ovten and Miss Darby.— Toast and song, harmony and conviviality, held Iheir suc- cessive sway throughout the evening. A meeting of the Parishioners of the extensive Parish of St. Chad, in this town, was held on Thursday last, when the nomination of the Right Hon. Lord Forester, the Viscount Clivc, the Hon. Cecil Jenkinson, the Hon. Thos. Kenyon, William Lacon Childe, Esq. M. P. and John Arthur LLoyd, Esq. as the Noblemen and Gentlemen to whom the matters which have agitated the United Parishes relative to the Shrewsbury House of Industry, & c. should be referred for their arrangement, was una- nimously confirmed.— It was suggested that, in order to inform the six Noblemen and Gentle- men what were the opinions of the Parishioners on the subject, certain resolutions of a former meeting should be transmitted to them.— This was, however, over- ruled, as in contradiction to the appointment of the Noblemen and Gentle- men as referees; their nomination as such being considered to imply that they perfectly knew the bearings of the case on which they had to decide, while the transmission of any resolu tions would evince a wish to dictate to them what regulations they were to adopt and embody ill the Bill which is left to them to prepare. The nomination of the above Noblemen and Gentlemen has also been confirmed by the other Five Parishes. TO BOOKBINDERS.

AH ! what avails it to the pious dead, That circling honours crowd around his head ? That head must rest within tbe silent tomb, And slumber there until the Saviour come. Mute is that voice, and effortless that tongue, Which once the praises of his Maker sung : No more among his well- loved circle be The fond instructor of each heart shall be. Yes, and tbe eager unrelenting worm Must feed upon his much- revered form ! Was he the servant of mankind for this? Are these the immortal joys of heavenly bliss ? No; when stern Death first saized his aged frame, And quick- departed the celestial flame, His spirit gladly burst from mortal throe, To meet the GOD he loved so well below ; To enjoy ihe pleasures which eye hath not seen, Nor heart conceiv'd^ nor yet have ever been — Pleasures which none but pious souls can know, And which from God's right hand for ever flow. Death is the valley through which all have past, Who gained the kingdom and its joys at last; Our Lord, our Saviour, this same path hath trod,- To gain our pardon from th' offended God ;- And shall the servant be above, his Lord ? Is it not written in his Holy Word — 1' Through tribulation we must pass to Heaven V' Nor has the road been to oue Christian even. Jesu's was rougher than has e'er been known ; lie trod the wine- press of God's wrath alone : No Friends and Partner were around his bed, Thorns were the pillow of his aching head ; No tender Child to wipe the cold death- sweat, Taunts were the pity- bis deep suff'rings met; When deaih releas'd him from his misery, No weeping friends pay the last debt aud see His lov'd remains in solemn pomp convey'd, And with deep sorrow in the cold grave laid,— A few, still faithful tn their dying Lord, Huve not his ignominious death abhorr'd, But fearful, trembling, take iiim from the Cross, And lay him in the narrow clayi'V house : But soon the grave's malignant vicJory's o'er Lost is its triumph, and cold Death's no more Tbe dead now rises, and his followers too Must die, the Lord of Heaven and Earth to view Nor is a life of sufferings too hard, To gain an everlasting great reward. O may the world, beholding STEDMAN'S fame, Enraptur'd be, aud tune their lives the same, That their last end as honour'd, blest, may be, Their spirits meet in Heaven's eternity ! PUELLA. SHREWSBURY, DEC. 12, 1825. MURDER— Mr. Perry, who kept a shop in Ann. slice!, Birmingham, was murdered last week by au lrUh labourer named Michael Ford.— Ford went into Mr. Perry's shop on Tuesday night, between 10 aud 11 o'clock, and while Mr. Perry was chopping a piece of pork that Ford had bar- gained for, the tatter attempted to rub the till; Mr. Perry was aware of him, and turned round to prevent his intention, on which Ford look an iron chopper from Mr. Perry's band, and so dread- fully cut him about the bead, that he died on Thursday.— Fnrd absconded, but was taken at Liverpool, and was conveyed to Birmingham on Monday. BIRMINGHAM AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. — The attention of Ihe public, aud that of our Agricultural friends in particular, is invited to tbe perusal of the important advertisement of the Birmingham aud Liverpool Railway in a subse quent column. A meeting of some of ibe creditors of Mr. EHis- , ton, who is now w ithin the rules of ihe King's Bench, look place on Monday, lu endeavour lo make an arrangement of his affairs, but nothing was resolved upon. The debts arc said to be about £ 30,000. Celebration of the. JVvptials of Col. and Mrs. Edward*. Oil Wednesday, the 7th instant, the town of Machynlleth and the adjacent villages were upon the alert to testify their joy at the Marriage of Mrs. HERBERT, of Dolvorgan, to Colonel EDWARDS, of Green Fields. PENEGOES was early in the field. Two fine sheep yvere roasted there, and ere tbe sun had reached the meridian, the cicrw had circulated pretty freely to the health and happiness of the new married couple. The dinner at Mr. R. Lewis's yvas most numerously and respectably attended. DAROWEN AND DERWENLAS united in similar demonstrations of joy with Penegoes. PENNAL was full of mirth and glee, but delayed its festivities till Thursday, as many ofthe friends wished to attend the great feasts at Machyn lleth; however, they made ample amends on Thursday, when six sheep were distributed to the poor, and Mrs. Price's cellars were almost exhausted iu congratulatory libations. ABERDOVEY. All the vessels were clrest in their best attire, flags flying, guns firing, and the muttons twin- ing round before a joyous blaze.— Fourteen blasts were made in the rocks on the New Road, and fired simultaneously, which had a fine and novel effect. The cheerful glass was circulated very freely at the " Royal Raven" ( which had much ado to feed its customers) to a late hour. After due honour had been paid to the Bride and Bridegroom, a toast was given intimating a wish that the Proprietor of the Port would hasten to follow the laudable example of bis Friend. TOWYN. Here the day was ushered in by a merry peal, discharges of cannon and musquetry, & c. & c. Sheep were roasted in the three principal streets, and were afterwards given to the poor, At night the houses of the Rev. Air. Edwards, Capt. Peters, Mr. David Jones, and numerous others, were illuminated. Tbe elegant little Town Hall ( lately erected) wastastefully decor- ated and lighted up under the managemant of Mr. Jones ofthe Corbet Arms. MACHYNLLETH. Here preparations had long been making, and a liberal subscription entered into, to celebrate this auspicious marriage.— The daylight had not broke when the artillery was heard to roar out its salvos from the top of Pen'rallt, which was continued at stated periods during the day.- - In every street a fat sheep was spitted before a blazing fire, and at noon a remarkable fine ox, tbat had been roasted opposite the Town Hall, yvas paraded through the streets with carvers drest in favours, after which it was distributed with the sheep to the poor, and loaves of bread and a tankard of the Welshman's beverage to drink to the happy pair. The arrangements were made under the able direction of the Rev. Mr. Hughes; indeed, this division among the poor was the case in all the other places. At the Skinners' Arms, Mr. John Davies, had invited 66 of his friends to a very handsome dinner. Rejoicings were held at the Golden Lion ( where upwards of 50 tenants and friends sat down); and at the other Inns. At the Unicorn, between 30 and 40 Gentle- men of the town and neighbourhood ( all with favours) partook of a sumptuous feast. The fame of Mrs. Pugh's larder is well known, but on this occasion she exceeded any of her foimer efforts, ana' every praise is due to Rebecca for the real culinary science displayed; the dessert and wines did not disparage the excellence of the feast. When the chairman, ( Mr. Corbet, of Ynysy- maengwyn ,) in a few appropriate words, gave the toast of " The Bride and Bridegroom," the loud acclamations with which it was received amply testified the high regard so universally felt towards Col. and Mrs. Edwards; nor less enthusiastic was the shout, when wishes were expressed for a future Son and Heir to the hospitable mansion of Greenfields. Tbe Gentlemen of the Committee deserve the best thanks for the judicious arrangements of the day. Mr. Wrood, kindly lent his assistance with bis harp, to which Mr. Edward Owen, Mr. Hugh Davies, and Mr. Edwards, sang several Weish Penillion in the course of the evening. The Rev. J. Bonsall, with his usual eloquence and mirth, assisted Mr. Corbet as Vice- President. All seemed to attend out of pure zeal and joy at the happy event; and good- humour, wit, and the merry joke kept up the spirit ofthe evening- to a very late honr. Similar rejoicings took place at LLANIDLOES and KERRY. EDWARD OLIVER F.

At Ludlow Fair, last week, there was a very large shew of prime Herefordshire beasts, exhibited for sale; the price asked in the early part of the fair was 7( L per lb.

The Horse fair was but thinly attended, good horses, both of the nag kind and draught, sold at good prices. At Stafford Fair, on Monday week, there was a larger show of cattle than has been exhibited in the town for some years. Prices, however, were so exceedingly low that very few exchanged owners. Pigs were scarce aud dear. At Worcester Fair, on Monday week, there was a large supply of fal- cattle, which maintained nearly the same prices as were obtained at late fairs ; the average was 6d. to 7* 1. pt' » " lb. Many remained unsold. Store Cattle were iu much re- quest at high prices. There were few milkers. The supply of Sheep was scanty, and the prices to 7d.— There were, as usual, few good horses.

They would arrive, in gout! t ime, as I lie failure took place in London, and would not be generally , kilbun in llie north lill Saturday. In he course of the last few da\ s llie whole banking community may be said to have put thciiiscli es n a defensive attitude, antl to have carried their eserve of ready money to 30, 40, or 50 per cent, above its usual amount, This precautionary plan mplies a negative to applications for discount, to great inconvenience, it must lie. admit led, « # mercantile men, who have at present very few channels for their bills, except the Bank of Eng. land. At no lime during either peace or war, do we remember in the money market a greater de- gree of what the French term gene, but there is every probability of ils disappearing, now that the exchanges are decidedly in our favour, and Ibe issue of the January dividends is in prosper!.

VVilh feelings of the deepest regret wc are this day called upon to discharge the painful duty of slating that the bank of Messrs, Smith, Ostium, How es? and Osborn, of the town and county Bank- in this town, stopped payment on Thursday last, when thev stated by handbills, " that in conse- quence of a sudden and. unexpected run upon their bank on Wednesday, they deemed il prudent lo suspend their payments, for. the present, at the same time declaring their ability to pay all claims upon them in full, and to baye a considerable sur- plus."— Northampton Mercury of Saturday. The General Committee of the Bible Society,' after hearing the report of the special committee appointed to examine into the apocryphal question,' have resolved—" That the funds of the society be applied to the printing and circulation of fhe< Canonical Books of ScripJuie, to ibe exclusion of those books and parts of bonks w hich are usually termed Apocryphal; aud that all copies printed,: either entirely or in part, at the expense of the society, and whether such copies consist of the whole or of any one or more of such books, be in- variably issued bound, no other bonks whatever beiug bound with them. And, further, lhat all money grants to- societies or individuals, be made only in conformity with ihe principle of this regula- tion."— rThe Apocryphal Books are thus completely excluded from the bibles issued by the British and" Foreign Bible Society. STEAM GUN.— Aboul eight o'clock ou Tuesday morning the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park was aroused by tbe loud aud reiterated'-" explosions of Perkins' Steam Gun, in his manufactory tbere0- The noise was very different from lhat pioduced by the ignition of gunpowder, iu a tube of the same calibre. It often resembled a very rapid running fire of musketry, accompanied with a rushing sound or roar, that quite deafened I be ' unaccus- tomed ear. Placards were '"' borne about in the immediate vicinity of the spot to warn passengers of what was going ou. We found on inquiry lhat ihe Duke of Wellington, with the Chief Officers of the Ordnance Department at Wpolwicb, were expected to see a trial made of this formidable instrument of destruction, with a view of forming an opinion of ils efficacy in actual warfare. About nine, the Duke, and a numerous parly of OHicera of Engineers and Artillery, entered Ihe manu- factory, which was then closed to ail strangers. 1 Tbey continued several hours, and if the destrue- tiveness of ihe weapon can be judged of from ibe appalling impression caused by the explosion, it must be terrible indeed. The following is a calcu lation of the advantages in point of economy, cons- pared with gunpowder. Suppose 250 balls are discharged iu a minute by the single barrel steam- gun, or 15,000 per hour, this for 16 hours would require 15,000 oz. of gunpowder per hour, or I5,000lbs. weight, for the 10 hours. The expenses' of gunpowder being 70s per cwt. or £ 3.5 per thous- and, is £ 525, Mr. Perkins says Shot becan ihcyw that number of balls in succession for the price of five bushels of coal per hour, or between £ 3 or £ 4 only for 16 hours. It is with feelings of the deepest regret that we' have to announce the death of Rear Admiral Bing- ham, who was ou the point of proceeding lo the- East Indies, as Commander iu Chief of his Ma- jesty's ships on thai station. This respectable and worthy Officel bad just completed his arrange" 1 merits in London prior to his departure for Ports- mouth, were he was to have hoisted his Bag ou board the Warspite, when, in consequence of getting wet through, he was seized, on the 2d inslaut, wiih a sudden attack of Erysipelas, which,, notwithstanding his previous state of perfect health,., baffled the skill of his physicians, and terminated totally on Ihe 12th instant. Letters from Madias, dated July 30th, state that according to the latest accounts from Sir Archibald Campbell's head quarters, whicbu emained at Promo,, no movement had taken place, his army being alio?; up ihere by ihe rainy season*, which usually las) ® in that country till ihe end of October. Allhougb a considerable number of tl? e inhabitants had re- turned to Prome and toother places, it'seems lhat: Lbt » system aele< l upou by the Burmese ot depopu- lating Ihe country iu the route of the British- forces, had been to a great extent successful.

All was rJoi and con- fusion; missiles were thrown, and he was struck by an orange. No apology or explanation on his pari would be listened to. The confusion was re- newed on his being announced for the next even- ing, in Ol hello.—-- I- i. e has published a letter, " with oppressed feelings," in which he says:— u That I have committed an error appears too evident from the al! decisive voice of the Public; but, surely, it is but justrce to the delinquent ( whatever may be bis enormities), to be allowed to make repara- tion where the offences were committed My mis- understandings took place in Boston.

Tiie flap'of red- cross banner ye might hear ; And sounds of harp and voice— sweet minstrelsy ! Like fountain, murmur stole upon the ear.— What floateth now beneath the clear- blue sky ? What music greets the lonely wanderer? The rank- grass streaming from yon hoary wall ; The. sigh of night- winds through deserted hall. Time was — and that same hall of lonefiness Hath echoed shout, and clang of sword and spear, And woman's wail at parting. Happiness llath gladden'd it, at Chief's return from war— The husband's clasp, and wife's soft chaste caress, And cry of little- ones the kiss to share. v- Alas for man ! time's tide hath roll'd between ; All these are now as if they ne'er had been. Alas for thee ! who o'er that fallen pile Chauntest a weak and melancholy strain — Thou too, perchance, shall stand' thus ruin'd while The wreck of glorious thought, and vision vain, Is scattered round thee : and the heartless smile, Worn to conceal thy! chill aud deadly pain, Shall be, as on tower the ivy- wreath, Ail gay without, but worn and scathed beneath. CAMBRIENSIS. HOME'S VAF BOMS. IT happen'd at a certain time, Two Seniors, who had spent their prime Of life in every wickedness, Came to his Holiness to confess ; Of which the one had riches store, The other, wicked wretch, was poor ; But both grown old, had now a mind To die in peace with all mankind, And go to henv'n a nearer Way Than those who all their life- time pray j Which may effected be their hope, By buying pardons ofthe Pope : So calling fresh to mind their sins, The rich offender thus begins : — " Most Holy Father, I have been,. I must confess, in many a sin ; All laws divine 1 thought a joke, All human laws for int'rest broke ; And to increase my ill- got store, Thought it no crime to ' press the poor, To cheat my neighbours, betray my friend If I could only gain my ends :' But now grown old., and near to die, 3 do repent me heartily Of aII my vile oliences past, And in particular the last, By which 1 wickedly beguil'd A dead friend's sou, an only child, Of all his dear paternal store, Which was ten thousand pounds and more Who since is starv'd to death for want, Bi. t now sincerely I repent: And that your Holiness may see, One half the sum I've brought with me ; And thus I cast it at your feet, . Dispose of it as you think meet ; To pious uses, or your own, 1 hope ' twill all my sins atone." Friend, said the Hope, I'm glad to see Such deep repentance wrought in thee ; But as your sins are very great, You have but half repented vet ; Nor can your pardon be obtained, Unless the whole you thus have gain'd > To pious uses be ordaiu'd. 3 All! quoth the man, I thought that half Had been a pretty price enough. Nay, Sir, said the rope, if you hum And ha, at giving of the sum, Go take it too, and damn your soul, I tell you I must have the whole : Not a litde thing procures Pardon for such sins as yours. Well, rather than be doom'd to go ^ And dwell in everlasting woe, > One would give any thing, you know : 3 So the other half was thrown down to't, And then he soon obtain'd his suit ; A pardon for his sins was giv'n, And home he goes, assur'd of heav'n ! !! Then the poor man he bends the knee, ft Most Holy Father, pardon me, A vile and humble penitent, Who all my substance vilely spent In ev'ry youthful wanton pleasure, But now I suffer out of measure ; With dire diseases being fraught, And eke so poor, not worth a groat." Poor, quoth the Pope, then cease your suit, Indeed you may as well be mute ; What, spend your wealth, and from the whole Not save a souse, to save your soul ! Oh, you ' re a sinher, and a hard one, 3 wonder you could ask a pardon, 1 cannot save you if I won'd, Nor would I do it if I cou'd : Sir, they're not had, except you buy ' em, Therefore you ' re damn'd, as sure as I am Vicegerent ofthe King of heav'n ; No, no, such sins can't be forgiv'n.— Home goes the man, in deep despair, And died soon after he came there ; And went to hell, ' tis said but sure He was uot dumn'd for being poor ; For not long had he been below, Before he saw his friend come too ; At which he was in great surprise, And scarcely could believe his eyes — What, friend, says he, are. you come too ? I thought the Pope had pardon'd you ! Yes, says the man, I thought so too, j But I was by the Pope trepann'd, The devil could not read his hand. Besides the Roman Coins, kc. found at Wrox- cter, belonging lo Mr. W.

BENEFIT SOCIETIES.— A ease of considerable interest to Friendly Societies, has occupied the at- tention of the Bench of 1V3 agist rates at Gosporl, at intervals, for three weeks past. A young man named Richard Ilmfiehl, preferred a complaint against the Alvcrstokc Benefit Sociely, for having expelled him, and for refusing to pay him the stipulated allowance during his indisposition. The Sociely resisted the complaint on the ground that Harfieid had received the injury which caused him to apply for relief whilst committing an unlawful act; that he had defrauded the society by repre- senting such injury to have proceeded from a cause which never existed ; and lhat he had been " found at work" whilst receiving relief from ihe funds of the sociely, A great number of witnesses were produced on each side, nnd many contradictious appeared in evidence; but after the most patient and impartial investigation, the case was decided in favour of ihe complainant, who was ordered to be restored to the society, and to receive the customary allowance from the 2Sth ult. only, as his conduct had not been unexceptionable. Oue ofthe principal grounds of the decision, and Ihe only material one which renders any notice of the ease interesting to institutions of a similar nature, was, that the expression in the rules " being found at work," did not include snch trifling labour as Hai field was proved to have performed ( such as setting a few plants in a garden, and other acts of much the same description, which exercise might be conducive to health), but applied to cases where the party receiving relief engaged in employment productive of pecuniary benefit to himself or others. The worthy Magistrates ( W. Grant, Esq. and Dr. Quarrier) recommended lhat Benefit Societies should frame their rules, especially those relating o expulsion, in as definite a manner as possible, that the altercations which too often occurred be- ween a sociely and an individual member might be prevented, and no person be deprived of the re. lief for which he had contributed to its funds but upon a fair and liberal construction of its articles. THE CONFLAGRATION AT MIRAMICHI.— On Friday week, the Diana, Lockup, from Miramichi, rrived at Whitehaven, after a passage of 28 days, having left that settlement on 22d October. She brought home 16 passengers, ( all Scotch,) who escaped the dreadful conflagration. One of these passengers, says, that his father, mother, eldest brother, and three sisters, were all burnt to cinder. Another says he made his escape from his bed, and got into the water fur safety, where he remained several hours, and was with difficulty saved, that during the time of his immersion, the hurricane and fire raged with most frightful violence, and so rapidly did the flames run from place to place, his bed- fellow did not succeed in making his escape and was burnt ; indeed, the fire in some places, it. is said, literally flew upon the wings of the wind, travelling at least twelve miles an hour! Cows, horses, pigs— in fact, all kinds of cattle, were seen, after the fire, floating down the river, n large quantities, having sought the water fur safety, but there perished. It is impossible to convey an adequate idea of the destruction. A list of sufferers had been published, with the amount of their total loss in houses and goods, at Frederic, town, which was estimated at £ 32,522.

I know a young lady who has very pretty pre- tensions lo idleness, but who has no objection to dancing the live- long night, and w ho would work at a ball- dress fifteen hours at a stretch, rathei- than uot go to the assembly. Of this young lady's life, Ihe following specimen, as set down by her mother, may afford some idea, and it proves her to be a real amateur :— Rose at ten. liegreltcd not being able to lie an hour longer. Lamented the necessity of cleanli- ness. Dressing a great bore. Dogs in this respect happier than men. Watch- boxes si ill better. Breakfasted till eleven. Sauntered for half an hour, and played wilh the cat. N. B. She scratched both my hands. Half past eleven. Sunk in an arm. chair, with a novel, read the same page three times over, and fell asleep. Got up to walk to another chair, and wos told I'd a hole iu my slocking. 1 wonder why the maid does not mend them. Twelve. Played half a_ lesson on the piano. What can Rossini mean by writing such difficult music? One o'clock. Took tip a needle and thread, and looked out of the window at the cattle feeding for three quarters of an hour. Cows lead happy lives. I wonder why man does not ruminate. At two. Luncheon. Three. Forced to walk out. I hate exercise. Was told my petticoat is longer than my gown j but what does lhat signify? Half- past four. Very tired and hungry. Played again with the cat. Made Fidetle, the French poodle, fetch a stick three times out of the water. N. B. Fiddle tore my glove to pieces. I wish my brother had been by to take it fiom him. Five. Played at scratch cradle, and then three games of Trou- madame till dressing tune. Can't think why mamma does not allow me a maid to dress me. N. B. Scolded for throwing my hair- papers about the room. What has 4he housemaid to do but gather them up? It's monstrous tire- some to be scolded. Six. Dinner, After cofFee sat si ill doing nothing till bed time. Thought half- past ten would never come. Went to bed very tired. N. B. Doing nothing is extremely troublesome, and I hate it exceedingly.— But then what can one do ? Philosophical and Literary Society, nexed to the Bristol Institution.

For Gratian gave the title Augustus to his brother Valentinian the younger and Theodosius the Great. And it is not improbable that in age of servile flattery, and when titles were most scrupu- lously split and multiplied, the chief and original emperor, if I may so say, might be designated by this title.

Mi& tzllmtm& SntdUgence* FOX- HUNTING IN THE CLOUDS!— A Fact. • On the 5th inst. the Worcestershire fox hounds threw off on Bredon hill; and, although the vale country lay clear beneath the sportsmen as they ascended, yet, so completely was the high land enveloped, not merely in mist and snow, but in clouds, that nothing thereon, even of the sur- rounding hedge- rows, could )> e seen at the distance of five yards. The hounds found almost imme- diately on entering the cover— and went away- excellent style; but, after a sharp run of upwards of an hour, Reynard escaped under favour of the snow- flakes— which fell so densely, that, combined with the impervious obscurity of the vapour, not one of the horsemen ever saw the hounds during the chase, but followed them by the echo of " the tongue." Several gentlemen who rode from Cheltenham to enjoy the day's sport, were unable in u the darkness visible" to find the hunters they had sent on befoec them to the cover, and were obliged to return on their jaded hacks. When his Prussian Majesty, the Great Frede- rick, took possession of Prague, he was surveying one of the principal Cathedrals, attended by one of the most dignified Ecclesiastics; and perceiving the twelve apostles, in rich gold habits, he asked the Priest, what was the value of the gilding " Sire," replied the priest, " they are solid gold. " Gold !" answered his Majesty, " then the Apos- tles are put to a wrong use; for it was intended, by their master, that they should travel all over the face of the earth, for public good ; and behold, in your church they are confined :— therefore, to fulfil their master's orders, I will have them immediately made into ducats, that they may travel over the face of the earth." MANORIAL RIGHTS.— The manorial rights and privileges of Manchester became vested, by purchase, in the Mosley family, in 1596, and in this family they have remained to the present time. In the year 1808, a negociation was set on foot by a town's meeting, for the purchase of the manor, which is co- extensive with the township, comprising the markets, right of holding markets, fairs, tolls, wastes, & c. and iucluding the market site of the Old Shambles, the sites of the St. John's and the Hay- market, in Camp- field, and at New- cross, ancient rents appendant to the manor, issuing from lands in Manchester, Gorton, and Blackley ; the site of the butchers' market, in Deansgate, with Mr. Ainsworth's privileges. Sir Oswald Mosley asked £ 90,000, and the deputation appointed to treat with him offered £ 70,000 ; that difference was however adjusted, hut unfortunately for the town another meeting annulled all that had been already doiie; and from the increased value of the properly and tolis since that time, the income of Sir Oswald and his posterity has pro- bably been benefitted to ihe amount of three thousand pounds a year, The public Meeting of this Society was held on Thursday evening, * 24th ult. when there were read before the Members and their friends two Papers, communicated by Philip Duncan, Esq. of Oxford. The one, " Remarks on the Balance of the De- struction and Preservation of Animal Life." The other, " Monography of the genus Aranea." In the former Paper, after dilating on the pleasures and advantages arising from the study of nature, our Author observed, that among the in- finite variety of objects, which that study brings before our view, what most strikes us, is lhat im- mense quantity of life with which creation swarms. Innumerable multitudes of beings share with us the privilege of life, sensation, and enjoyment, all tinder the protection of an attentive Providence. Yet amidst this abundance of existence, we behold the various creatures insatiably bent on destroying each other. Sad as this may at first appear, yet reflection makes it evident, that Providence not only permits, but intends that animals should prey on one another; having armed them with various weapons, as teeth, claws, bills, See. to carry into execution their sanguinary purpose. Still is the wisdom of Providence manitV^ ted in preserving the balance of the destruction and preservation of life. That the Weaker animals may not become extinct, they are made surprisingly prolific, and are en- dowed with instinctive discernment of their natural foes. Some animals are preserved by extraordinary tenacity of life, others are defended by thick armour, as Ihe rhinoceros, armadillo, porcupine, hedgehog, and all the varieties of shell fish, aud snail. Yet are they not proof against the cunning, the vigilance, and the force of" their enemies. Nature employs various powers, which oppose, in every species the pernicious increase of their in- dividuals. Man she has subjected to wars, pes- tilence, famine, disease, and infirmities. The car- nivorous animals, which are put under the dominion of man, are, in their turn, to serve as a barrier to the undue multiplication of the frngivorous race. Our Author traced a similar dependency through out the various classes of the whole animal kingdom, instancing the wonderful contrivances for the pre. servation of life, and the astonishing acuteness and sagacity exercised in its destruction ; and observed, " Thus is the balance of destruction and preserva- tion kept up throughout animated nature; and without this wise and salutary order of things, life would long ago have broken through that just equipoise which is the only appointment for the preservation of the different species, some of which must otherwise have suffered a total extinction. The destructive effects of the carnivorous race, with respect lo the other species, are exactly the same as that of the pruning hook to shrubs of a too luxurious growth, some parts are removed that the rest may arrive at perfection." In the latter Paper our ingenious Author went at great length into a description of the habit and modes of life of the most remarkable of the species, treating his subject in a manner so entirely novel as to excite extraordinary interest. His account of the water spider merits attention. " This insect fixes several silky threads to the stalk3 of water plants, and then ascending to the surface, thrusts the hinder part of its body above the surface of the water, drawing it back with so much rapidity to attach beneath it a bubble of air, which it has the art of detaining below, by placing it under the threads above. mentioned, and which it bends like a covering almost round itself. It then ascends again for another air bubble; and thus proceeds till it has constructed a large aerial apartment under the water, which it enters or quits at pleasure The male constructs for himself a similar apart- ment near that of the female, and afterwards breaks through the thread walls of the female's dwellin; and the two bubbles attached to the bodies of both unite into one, forming one large chamber. The female takes care of the young, and constructs similar apartments for them. During the winter this insect lodges in empty shells, which it dex terously closes up with a web." We conclude ou brief notice of these Papers with an observation of our Author, on the study of Entomology: " No one can examine, with an attentive eye, the subject of this branch of science without surprise. The great variety of forms, the nice adaptation of their parts to the situation and circumstances in which each is placed, cannot but excite the amazement of the curious and intelligent mind. The same power and wisdom which are manifested in the harmony and beauty of the heavenly bodies, are equally displayed in the formation of the minutest insect: each has received that mechanism of body those peculiar instincts, and undergoes those dif- ferent changes which fit it for its destined situation and enable it to perform its proper functions, and lo fulfil that purpose in the chain of being which Providence ordained it to answer," Many appro priate drawings, on a large scale, illustrate the Papers. The Archdeacon of Rochester has held that ecclesiastical rank for the long period of 57 years. The Dean and Chapter have two audits in each year: at the last audit. dinner, on the health of the venerable Archdeacon being drank, he remarked that he had atteuded 114 audits, never having on a single occasion been absent; and kindly ex- pressed a wish that all his reverend colleagues might live fo be able fo say as much. The following method of lighting theatres has lately been adypted at Paris. A large opening ie formed in the centre of the ceiling, and hung round thickly with lamps, each lamp is furnished with a parabolic reflector, and each reflector ia united to its neighbour all round the circle. By these means the light would be thrown down into the theatre, was it not checked by the presence of a number of magnifying glasses, of a foot diameter each, all united and forming one solid mass, and fixed beneath the lamps, and covering Ihe opening. On looking at it from the pit, it appears like an immense burning globe. This light appears to be sufficient, and is more equal, more soft, and greatly less dazzling than the ordinary lustres. On Sunday morning, during the absence of the Rev. Rowland Hill, his family and servants, from the dwelling house, attending divine worship, some thief or thieves managed to scale the area railings, and descend into the kitchen, the door leading into which was unfastened. Instead of proceeding up stairs and ransacking the house of plate and other portable property, the thieves contented themselves with laying siege to the pantry, which happened to he well stocked with the good things of this life on the occasion, con- sisting of a corned round of beef, two loins of fresh pork, a fillet of veal stuffed for the spit, together with a prime Stilton and other Cheshire cheeses. The cook was the first who discovered the robbery of the larder. She ran up stairs breathless to inform her master of the loss. The everend gentleman was surprised at the news,, hen having patiently listened to her while enu- merating the joints lhat had disappeared, he observed iu his usual accents of good nature, Never mind, Kitty, don't alarm yourself; we shall substitute something else tor our loss: the poor creatures who managed to take away the meat, perhaps, wanted it much more than we do." In the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday, the Jury gave twenty- fics pounds damages in a crim. con. case, in which Messrs. Scarlett, Brough- am, Gurney, & c. were employed ! The plaintiff. is butcher iu Bloomsbury Market. MR. OWEN'S VISIONARY PARADISE. ( Extract of a Letter J— u Yesterday 1 returned om a visit to Mr. Owen's Society, and I will give you an account of this establishment. The num- ber of persons there is about 1000 of all ages, sexes, aud conditions : they are an incongruous mass collected together, without a prospect of future support except from the munificence of the isionary founder. There are about 330 children their school; the plan of education is the Pestallozzian, without any punishment for bad conduct except a short confinement; the children in general are under uo controul, and left to the " ree impulse of their passions. I must confess I was astonished al the doctrine inculcated by their teachers, who seem to have thrown aside ihe Christian faith, and even ihe belief iu a deity ; in short, the system taught, as far as I could learn, resembles Ihe opinious propagated by the lllu- miuati in Germany, at the commencement of the French Revolution, and so sedulously advocated by Voltaire, D'Alembert, Diderot, Paine, & c. A Mr. Jennings, formerly a preacher of the Univer- salian Sect, but now a proselyte of Mr. Owen, officiated as pastor, aud delivers lectures on morality, once or twice a week; in his discourse he endeavours to prepare the minds of his audience for the reception of his pernicious doctrine. The large brick church of the Harmonists has been converted into a dancing room for the adults, and a place of parade for the children, who are marched in procession several times a day, al the sound of music. There is a general want of industry here; every thing seems changed since the place has been deserted by ils former industrious owners,; the houses are in a state of dilapidation, fences down, gardens covered with weeds, and thecurioua labyrinth, so ingeniously made by Mr. Rapp, baa been destroyed by their cattle."
