He assures us that the Russians suffered much more severely thau either the English or French, from their having been more exposed to the heavy fire of the batteries. Their ships were dreadfully mauled by the large Shot which struck them. But the accounts of the actual loss will be received from St. Fetersburgh.— Morning Chronicle. It was currently reported, ihis morning, that despatches had arrived at the Foreign Office from Our Ambassador at Constantinople, of' an unfavour- able character. The report is. wholly unfounded. ~ j$ fo intelligence has reached Government from Mr, Stratford Canning : but advices are hourly expected, inasmuch as it is calculated that the Porte would receive the news of the battle of Navarin about the 28th ult. and an express from Constantinople would Bot occupy more than from eighteen to twenty days. The Gatctie dc France has been received, from ^ hich we extract the following article:— " TRIESTE, NOV. 6.— According to intelligence from Zante and Corfu of the 27th of October, a portion of the Allied Fleets was, after the battle of the 20th, to proceed to the Dardanelles, it is Supposed that the object was to take up a menacing- position, in order to protect the Christians at Con- stantinople, before the Tartars'of Ibrahim should be able to arrive there with the news of the destruction of the Fieet, ft appears, further, that, notwith- standing the'defeat of the 20th, the proceedings of Ibrahim had no tendency towards the conclusion of a new convention, for he had laid an embargo on all the European ships which were in the ports of the Morea,- a- nd had even thrown into irons the crew of an Ionian vessel'. He seems determined to proceed to the utmost extremities, but his efforts will be Unavailing. • Admiral Codring- tOn, who is repairing those of his vessels which sustained damage at Malta and Zante, will stop all ships proceeding to the Dardanelles, and advise them to wait for further kitelligence as to the state of Constantinople. 1' IHSOI, VENT DEBTORS' COURT, NOV. 19. [ From* the . Morning Chronicte.~\, EVAN OLIVER was opposed by Mr. CORWOOS, on behalf of the Assignees under a Commission of Bank- ruptcy issued against the insolvent's father, upon a debt of £ 1550, which arose in the following manner: — The insolvent was- entrusted by his fafher with large sums of money, which were transmitted to England from Montgomeryshire, to enable him to purchase cuttle. Being in London in the month of April, last year, he met two ladies, whom he accompanied home, vi lien lie lost cash and notes to the amount of £ 900. About six weeks after ihis, he was at Leicester fair, • when he met with two other damsels, equally civil and solicitous of his company, and he went home with them, where, to use his own term, he was fleeced out ofa further sum of £ 700, making a total loss of £ 1600. It did uot appear, however, that he complained to the Police in either case, or advertised a reward for the recovery of his property. Mr. CURWOOD inquired whether tliejrwere ladies of character ? Insolvent: Ladies of character! no doubt; but I suppose of very bad character, for they robbed me of my property [ laughter]. Afier he met with these females, he embarked in July for America, with £ 150, hoping to get a situation but as nothing, offered, he, after playing a fortnight, returned to England. On his nrrivul he was minus £ 100 by his voyage [ a laugh'] ; his account- book he lost on the voyage; no ladv robbed him of that, for there were none there ; most likely he dropped it. into the sea [ laughter], Mr. Ct'Rwoon said that the insolvent had been taken into custody bv the Commissioners' warrant, and committed to prison; he held in his hands his examination before the Commissioners, when he said that he knew nothing of what had become of the money, except that he had lost it. Mr. HEATH said, that however improbable the insolvent's story might be, the Court was bound to receive the oath of the insolvent ( whether true or false God only knew). The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, as the insolvent had ventured to swear in the manner he had done, it would be recorded in the Records of the CoWt : and should it turn out that he swore falsely, he stood i great jeopardy. After a suitable admohit on, th insolvent was discharged forthwith. Cije Salopian ' journal. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1827. Mr. Murray, who lectured on Chemistry, in this town, with so much success, at a former period^ will commence a Course of Lectures to the: Members of the Shropshire Mechanics' Institution, in the large room at the Fox Inn, on Friday next.— Jhe Lecture will be open for admission to the Public generally. -*- See A dvertisement. THE THEATRE.— Our Theatre again opened last night, .. under the direction of Mr. Thompson, who made his first entiec on our boards at the races. The entertainments were of a novel and most uncommon character. Chiug Law's performances of gymnastics are so - surprising and incredible, that they must be seen to gi've j? n idea of the muscular powers of the humanT) 0( ty ; he also combines grace with his actions, '• which makes it pleasing to witness him. We would recommend our readers not to miss the opportunity, as he leaves Shrewsbury in a few days for Drury Lane, where he is engaged at a great salary. . Mr. Thomp- son . also gave us a high treat, apd confirmed us in the opinion we before entertained of his comic powers. His son, a hoy of about 12 years of age, played Loony Mactwolter with all the tact of an old stager, and sang an Irish comic song with considerable effect. As a further inducement, we perceive lhat they have judiciously lowered the price of admission. The whole went off well.— See Advertisement. In our Journal of last week, we noticed that some very large potatoes had been dug up in Flintshire and in some of the Northern Districts.— We have it in our power now to say, that neither the soil or agriculture of Shropshire are inferior, in regard to the growth of potatoes, to the districts we have mentioned, as a potatoe weighing three pouhds and a half ( although a part of it had been broken off by the fork), was dug up on the glebe land at Cound, in this county, on Wednesday last.— This potatoe was of a kind known in the neigh- bourhood by the name of " Langley;" the eyes are pink, and particularly deep; and it is an excellent keeping potatoe, continuing- very good until August or even later. To those who are fond of witnessing the superior products of our Shropshire agriculturists, we re- commend a call at Mr. Peplow's seed- warehouse, Claremont- street, in this town, where we yesterday saw cabbages weighing from 20lbs. to 301bs. each, roots of mangel- wurzel 13lbs. each and upwards, carrots nearly 3lbs. each, and a large quantity of pink- eye potatoes weighing from 2 lbs. to 41 bs each, all grown- on one farm on the Earl of Powis's Mont lord estate. Great rejoicings have taken place in Chester and throughout Cheshire, in consequence of Philip de Malpas Egerton, Esq. eldest son of the Rev. Sir Philip Grey Egerton, Bart, having attained his majority on the 13th instant. In our Fair, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, Fat Sheep averaged 5| d. to 6d. per lb.— Fat Pigs 5^ d. to 5|- d.; and Store Pigs of every description sold at higher prices than at the last Fair.— Fat Cattle were sold at from 5 § d. to 6d. per lb.; stores rather lower.— Tub Butter sold from 9| d. to 10| d. per lb ; in Lumps 9^ d. and 9jd.— Best Cheese sold at from 60s. to 68s. per cwt.; and inferior in proportion.— Hams 9d.; Bacon 7| d. to 8| d. per lb. Another case of horse- stealing occurred in the night of Wednesday se'nnight, at North Cleobury, n this count y. Immediately on the discovery of the theft, the neighbourhood around was scoured, but o no purpose, and several days having been spent thus unavailing- ly, messengers were on Sunday sent off to Worcester, who having apprised Orchard, an active police officer, of their errand, he instantly set an inquiry on foot, and soon Learnt that a horse answering the description of that lost, had been seen to go through the previous night, in the possession of two men. Their route was then tracked towards the Forest of Dean, in Gloucester- shire, and thence to Bodenham, in Herefordshire, in wood near which place the stolen horse was found grazing, with its hind legs tied together. Having secured the animal, search wjas made around for the thieves, when two fellows jumped out from a thick covert, and instantly made off at full speed. One of them, however, left his hat behind, by which, and other circumstances, su< 5h a clue and knowledge have been obtained of their persons, as will, it is hoped, ere long, lead to their apprehension. Cot* miiited to our County flanl, Benjamin France, charged with stealing two bills of the Broseley and Bridgnorth bank, of the value of five pounds each, the property of William Brown, of Bridgnorth; William Davies, charged with having stolen one cask, containing- a quantity of porter, of the value of thirty shillings, one line post and hair line, aud a halter, the property of John Simon, of Draytoa- in- Hales. g^ sr ® " PLSCATOR," on the Severn Fishery, in our next BIRTHS.

In former years, our record of this anniversary has been generally confined to a notice of the sports of the field and a detail of those who assembled on the Ball Night : but on the present occasion a scene of attrac- tion was presented, which, as anticipated in our last, fully realized the expectations of its patrons and conductors; and while it has afforded a temporary and innocent gratification to some thousands of all classes, will conduce to the furtherance of the best interests of humanity through ages as yet veiled in the misls of futurity. ' i- su j i ( fi THE BAZAAR for Sale of Ladies' VVotks, in aid of the funds of the Salop Infirmary, o pened ; On<. Wjed » esi( day, under tlie patronage of the Couutess. of wi su • " t o whom, as a I so t o 1 h e o t her bra riches 6f h e r \ N ob I e Fanfilv, every benevolent Institution in this and the neighbouring Counties stands deeply indebted, and, though the weather was most unfavourable, the large room in the Town Hall was throughout that day filled with visitors and customers. Independently of the infinite variety of articles for sale, which formed an assemblage more than sufficient to occupy the busiest attention of the most curious spectator, the effect was much heightened by ihe walls of the room being hung in elegant festoons of coloured drapery, whilst the portraits of Lord Hill, Admiral Ben bow, nnd Admiral Hwpn, seemed to smile with benignant aspect on the scene of business which their fair country women had commenced as it were under their . auspices. The Grand Jury Room formed the ante- room of the Bazaar : on" one side the Band of the Shrewsbury Yeomanry Cavalry was stationed on Wednesday and Thursday; the other was very judiciously occupied by a well - furnished stand of confectionery, cakes, & c. for the refreshment of those who conducted and at- tended the Sale. The following was the order in which the several Ladies of the Committee and their Assistants had ( by lot) taken their stations in the Bazaar : STALE No I. Mrs. Phayre; assisted by Miss Phayre and Mrs. Lopdale. ' No. II. The Hon.

On this Stall wns a beautiful Piece of Work, represent- ing the Trunk of a Tree with a Bird sitting on the top, in whose bill were the following lines : Salopian Nobles, gallant fcnights and Squires; | " Who justly boast your long- illustrious Sires, Though Deeds of Arms no more your souls inflame. Let Gallantry befriend a hapless'Dame: Witftin- this trunk by Magic doom'd to stand, She hopes for freedom from some generous hand:;, Whoe'er thou art who com'st the spell to break, Thy purse and not thy sword for weapon take ; The ransom paid, with care uproot the tree, The lovely captive thy reward shaill be.

At one of the Tables of Drawings,- Lady Harriet Ashley took her station, assisted by Mrs. Corbet ( Sundorne) and Mrs. Davies: at the other Table, the Hon. Mrs. Knyvett Leighton, assisted by Mrs. Egerton Jeffreys. Soon this: y it was resolved to sell by auction '..— Thomas Nethertou Parker, Esq. was exalted as auctioneer amid loud cheers ; and having ascended his rostruui, he commenced his new career as follows : — " Ladies and Gentlemen, I feel a good, deal of embarrass- ment in having been cofntnanded to take this elevated position by the Ladies to whom we are so much indebted for having conducted the Infirmary Bazaar, hitherto with so much success. 1 beg- leave to call upon this company ( in vvhich i am happy to see so. many persons of distinction who have already liberally contributed to this undertaking,) to afford me their indulgence and Support, that 1 may be enabled to fill my office with efficiency to the good purposes which we all have in view. I am glad to say that there are otheis besides myself under thc- LadieS' orders, and that I am- only acting in the capacity of junior counsel in this, cause, to which there is ho opposition, and I have merely to open the plead- ings-, but I hope that other gentlemen, who are retained on the same side, will entertain you with some good speeches, which it is quite out of my power to do. 1 should add, that the notion of an auction was only, suggested this morning, and therefore too late to have the assistance of professional gentlemen; although it was certain that they would most v/ iUinglyvhjive volunteered their services: I hope they will not. be offended at what is undertaken as a joke in obedience to the higher powers'." Continued cheers followed this address : and with in- finite tact and ? n high humour did , Mr. Parker, with Col. Knyvett Leighton as his assistant, proceed to the task assigned him . Few were the articles produced on which he did not expatiate with zeal and ability, and as be knew the manufacture and materials were not fo he excelled, he unhesitatingly pledged his word and honour to the quality ofthe goods for disposal. 4' With hainineVin hand," he peeringly watched the nods and biddings, and even the smiles of his immense cotnpnuv, displaying his goods with the best effect, and caution- ing his auditors, that, upon so solemn an occasion, he should take even their laugh fo » a bidding,— and in due time letting them into the secret, that if tbey did not hasten to pick up bargains before the Gentlemen of the Hunt had left their Wine, they would inevitably pay de^ r for their purchases, as w hen thcv'eanie, bidding wpiild on on with such spirit as to baffle competition ; itself! — With nice and wary motion did the ominous once— twice— just gone— another bidding— thank ye, Ma'am !— fall in due proportion; and many a heaity laugh was there when, along with the word thrice! a bundle of baby- linen and an assortment of children's toys fell t > the happy lot. of some successful bachelor!— : Having gone through a great number " f lots, Mr. Parker resigned his situation to the High Sheriff, ( William Tayleur, Esq.) and many prime bargains were sold " by the same Sheriff;" who- was succeeded by M r. Gibbons.^ The newlv- appointed auctioneer had scarcely com. menced business, when some of the Gentlemen of the Hunt made their appearance, and they, having heard of Mr. Parker's professional abilities, determined to have a specimen of them : Mr. Parker was, aceord- ingly, again called to the rostrum, to the high satis- faction, and amid the acclamations of the company ; and having made further and great progress in the sale, he resigned his office to Mr. Henry LLoyd, who bade fair to equal the talent of his predecessor, had not the lateness of the hour compelled the relinquish- ment ofthe auction in order to raffle for and otherwise dispose of several works of art and fancy of a superior class. This part of the plan being- effected, Sir Rowland Hill commenced as auctioneer, and would certainly have soon completed the business in that line, as he was ably supported by Mr. Montgomery Campbell : midnight had, bow'ever, passed, and it was deemed prudent to close this attractive scene and leave the very few articles remaining unsold to be disposed of as may hereafter be thought most advis- able— The, Band of the North Shropshire Yeomanry, which liad atteuded for this evening only, then struck tip the tune of " God save the King ;" and the assemblage retired. The total Produce of " the Sales and Admissions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, were—• Sales £ 067 15 0 Admissions 138 7 0 Mrs. and the Misses Cotton ( Conibermere Abbey) Miss Wynne Miss Cl'ive ( Welshpool) Mrs and Miss Phayre Mrs. Lopdale Mrs. Jenkins Three Misses- Dallas The Mis- es Harries ( Bent- hall) M iss Edwardes ( West Cop- pice) Mrs. Maddock Two Misses iYU'ddehon Miss Bedford M rs. aud the Misses Lloyd ( Aston) , The Viscountess Feilding Mrs. Corbet ( Sundorne) Mrs A.

A BRIEF SXETCH. Mr. Weaver ( of Salop; and Mr Laporte each pre- sented a painting to lhe Bazaar; Mr. E. P. Owen and Mr. J. Bather ( Dinthill) presented a variety of draw- ings; Mr. Sayer likewise presented a drawing; and to Mr. Tibnam, stationer, the Conimiltee were also in- debted. In noticing the works of Art that adorned the Bazaar, it would, however, be unpardonable were we not to ob- serve, that among several articles disposed of by private sale on Friday evening was an exquisite copy from tbe Madonna of Carlo Dole&, which', as it was preserved in a case, may not have been generally seen. I his was sold for 20 guineas, and was, we believe, from the pencil of Miss Gibbous ( Harley): and certainly, it did the highest credit to the abilities of that taiented young ' ady. We might here pursue the task of pointing out various productions of a superior character: but we desist, persuaded that our pen would be inadequate to the office of doing justice to such a subject, however delightful might be the occupation of placing on record in detail the several works by which the fail- contributors have done so mnch honour to themselves and added so greatly to the success of the Bazaar. In conclusion, we trust it will be considered no more than onr duty to notice with the highest com- mendation the voluntary services of the Bands of the Shrewsbury and North Shropshire Yeomanry, whose masterly performances tended to heighten the varied pleasures of this interesting and attractive under- taking.

Ahsop, uu | Mrs. Aluu. t., 0 6 0 10 1 0 BATTLE OF NAVARIN.— Whilst every pen is williugly employed in echoing the praises of the British navy, a very wide discussion has been ad- versely maintained upon the policy by which the recourse to arms has been dictated. Upon this theme many opposing doctrines have been urged, though it has been confessed by some of the writers that they had not sufficient grounds for arriving at ultimate opinions. The great point to look to is tbe effect which this terrible chastisement may- have with respect to the temper and views of the Sublime Porte. Whether his Highness may im- prove his conduct, or darken the shades of it still more by attempts at heavier inflictions upon a Christian people, is one inquiry; and a not less earnest solicitude prevails for the personal safety of the official characters and other British and European subjects whose lives and properties are . within the Turkish grasp. Doubts are also raised, but perhaps very unnecessarily, as to the bias which Austria may have on the sudden interruption of a peace in which she had so great an interest. Public inquiry must for some little time remain unsatisfied in these respects. Navarin is reckoned to be six hundred miles distant from Constantinople by tbe usual route, and it requires sixteen to twenty days to convey intelligence from Con- stantinople to this country. The value of the brilliant victory which is won will be chiefly rated by its consequences. We sincerely hope that it may prove the harbinger of brighter days to an afflicted race of men, who have been exposed, according- to the reputed accounts of writers who have witnessed what they record, to every species of extortion aud cruelty; who have been trampled upon by the petty tyrants of provinces ; who have held life itself by the payment of a capitation tax ; and who have been continually exposed to brutal acts of violence, perpetrated without reg- ard either to age or sex. To describe with accuracy the articles which formed the stock in trade of the several firms above enumer- ated would require a pen more skilled in the detail of decoration, art, and fancy, than that which has essayed the task of recording a scene which, tracing. 1 its origin from the best impulses of generous minds, was completed in a stvie that, did equal credit to the talent aud industry of all concerned. Britain has heen termed a nation of shopkeepers ; and truly. Royalty itself, in the person of our gracious Sovereign, might have looked with pride on the epitome of this alleged character as exhibited in the shopkeepers, and in their goods as displayed for sale on Wednesday morning. Ruler of a dominion on which the sun never sets, His Majesty might have seen the products, of every region of his vast empire here wrotfg'ht iif miniature hut due proportion: vvhile that cOniUierce of his subjects which iu its invocation encircles tlie globe, had afforded the means of grace and ornament for those initiate but. endless decorations whitfh' Jia^ given the finish to innumerable works of faiici^ aHd utility. The feather which had gaily trftversed; trackless deserts of Africa was here bound ronoxi. by the finest gold of Peru; ami the silk of Hitidoostaiv and the fur of Siberia were only the accompaniments of other productsof equally distant regions that had been assembled to form some fairy ornament which would not have overloaded even the carriage of Queen Mab . In addition to every article that could be enumerated in the general routine of Ladies' Fancy Work, such as fire screens ( worked and painted), work boxes, snuff- boxes,* paper cases, drawings and paintings, card racks, reticules, purses, baskets, flounces,^. pin., cushions, needle- cases, flowers, & c. & c. &, c;. in count- less variety, a quantity of beautiful toys were ex- hibited : the College Youth and the Jew Pedlar were seen treading the same ground iu amicable fraternity ; children, so good that they had not even ouce cried, were here in abundance ; and fair damsels, whose temper it was not possible to ruffle, were here not only to be seen, but—- to be purchased ! — Start not, gentle reader: this was not a slave mart : though, if we err not, there were in the room more . than might suffice of female loveliness to captivate a greater assemblage of admirers than even . crowded this scene of general attraction. The business of the Bazaar was admirably conducted : the Ladies of the Committee aixl their assistants had lost no point of experience : and it was truly amusing to hear a hesitating customer! told, with truth and gravity, hy the fair shopkeeper with whom he was endeavouring to make a bargain—" It is. really well worth the money, and ] assure you I do not get one farthing by it:" While, if he chanced to cast ( and who could avoid doing so?) ! a wandering glance either to another article or to ano- ther shopkeeper, he was immediately met with—" O ! dcr pray look at this : nothing can be more beautiful ; and if I were but to mention the name of the lady by whom it was manufactured, I am sure you would not thiuk- Of going without it," The art of the manufacturer swiYf the talent and dexterity of the fair vender could not fail to sncceed: and the annexed statement of the proceeds of the sales and admissions will render further comment on this head quite unnecessary. Notwithstanding the large amount of the sums re- ceived at the sales of Wednesday and Thursday, such had been the zeal and industry of the fair contributors to this undertaking, that a great variety of beautiful articles remained for Friday night's sale. To prevent confusion, and to add to the appearance ofthe scene, it had been intimated that wo bonnets would be worn in the Bazaar that night : the room accordingly presented siiclv at) assemblage of female beauty in full dress as does hot often welcome the eyes of " mortals all, of high and low degree ;" for as the etiquette, of dress was only generally observed by the female part of the assembly, many respectable persons of every class; were: ithns enabled to enjoy a scene of enchantment usually COafthetf to the more select circles^ Instead, howev; t%| oT'lT^ je by hand, as on the preceding days, the spur ' Of the moment had suggested another mode ; and, as on many other occasions— former things Are laid aside., like abdicated kings ; And every moment alters what, is done, And innovates some act till then uiikuown: The Countess of Powis, PATRONESS The Duchess of Northum- berland The Lady Lucy Clive, and the Hon Misses Herbert, The Lady Harriet Williams Wynn The Hon Mrs. Bailie, and Mrs. W.

The portraits on each of these boxes were executed in the style of a first- rate artist, exhibiting- a beauty of expression, a delicacy and propriety of colouring, and a height of finish, that would have done credit to the pencil of a professor.

On the whole, it maybe remarked with truth, thi Shrewsbury Hunt Week never before presented such a scene of attraction, nor was it ever more brilliantly attended. Surely never did Shrewsbury exhibit at one time more Grace, Beauty, Wit, Love, Benevolence, and Fashion, than during- the last week, There are times for all things, and verily all things were with us then. So much the better ; and most heartily do i thank each and all who contributed to that intoxicating'season of delight. ' Twas a week of variety : first came the Gentlemen of the Hunt" richly- caparisoned" iu " scarlet and fine linen," and doubtless "- faring sumptuously every day," Tuesday was the day of preparation for the Bazaar, when the Ladies most inchistrioiislv conveved their manufactures to the Town Hall, and when the rattling of the wheels of one carriage after another^ in nearly. endless succession, was a truly inspiring, sight ahd a g& rious fore- taste of the morrow. " The morrow arrived-,, at& l :. the very zenith of the mo'st sanguine expectation. Was. exceeded. The influx of Beauty and Splendour was immense. On Wednesday was the Fair, and with it. any thing but fair weather. On Wednesday also, and on Thursday, THE BAZAAR— aye, the Bazaar! If was much crowded each day, particularly the latter, with young- men and maidens,' old-: men a< i. d children— from ladies and gentlemen of wealth, rank, and title, to bluster, ing farmers and whirring infants. In one part of the room was a bewitching nymph first- looking at*^ soirie expensive trifle," and then casting the mostkilling glance at her devoted swain : in another, some corpulent old" gentleman who, seemingly, from gout and lethargy, had been sometime deceased to'the comforts of this life, was resuscitated by the galvanic battery of smiling beauty which surrounded iiim. Presently appeared an elegantly, attired visitor, whose age I conjecture was bor- dering upon forty nine, the youthful bloom of whose cheeks was sadly devastated by large globules of perspiration. Ano- ther step, and an elderly matron reminded her neighbours by a scream that she was afRicted with those slight " excrescen- ces," which it would be treason against one's very toes to men- tion: now admiring some beautiful article, perhaps a pin- cushion made inapyramidal form with mathematical precision, or shapened in the likeness of Apollo's lyre', or some little black cat, with mustachios like a Turk, ami ey^ s only sur. passed in brilliance by those which were ever ready t^ enforce the disposal of it.. Next, we met with a few exquisite black- lead portraits, and among them the youthful favourite of Adrian, whom we fancy almost starting into life Shortly we imagine ourselves amid " shady groves and fragrant flowers," when lo! our hand reaches the object, and we find ' twas only paper adorned with colours that some, fairy hand had1 depicted with magic pencil. Suddenly we pounce upon a snuffbox, the top of which is so delectably painted, that one is ' almost tempted to take up a more fashionable than agreeable habit for the purpose of displaying this eneha'nting article. For a few seconds 1 listen; and, oh! ye professors of elocu- tion, attend unto my song. " Now, Mr. - - — what shall I have the pleasure of selling you to day?" says Miss " What shall I tempt you with'? You must buy something from me; I am determined to sell" The- last sentence was accompanied by a look irresistibly fascinating.. Lady - - smilingly accosts another in a similar srrain of eloquence, first disposing of some principal article, and then most delightfully expatiating upon the necessity of every person possessing a black Mrs. Feliner, as a sure and certain guide to fortune and happiness. Speedily we see Mrs. , whose loveliness bath not yet " lost its savour," but is glowing- in its meridian brilliancy. The manners and faces of the Misses ——— were inexpressibly charming, holding all within the orbit of their glance chained to the spot almost immovable. But how am 1 proceeding? Infinity would be scarcely too long, were I to say all I could ; but such a collection of rosy cheeks, brilliant eyes, and eloquent tongues, I never met with. On Thursday evening, the Hunt Ball was attended by an unusually numerous and respectable company, tnost of whom were at the Bazaar on Friday evening, whfen a series of Ama- teur Auctioneers exhibited their talents in disposing of the remaining articles, which were purchased rapidly, and, as the Market Heralds say, " at liberal prices " • What stoic spent the Hunt Week in Shrewsbury, and can- not say relative to it— " Oh the day when Beauty bright My heart's chain wove!"

The person that had ridden him, had passed through the town about three hours before, on another horse ( or mare), and returned upon the one stolen.

Our object this morning- is only to ask ydnr Lordship to npply for the notes of the Judge, and my friend, w ho conducted the trial below, will state to you on what grounds the application is made. Mr. HKALD.— There are many other things press. Mr. HORNE.— The Common Lawyers are here. Mr. HEALD.— What signifies that. The Lord CHANCELLOR.— I will settle this in one word. I think it is proper I should see the Judge's notes. This case has been before me already. The verdict is now different from the first. It is fit I should see the notes of the learned Jud^ e, aud I will apply for them to the learned Judge. Mr. HORNE.— That is all WE ask, my Lord. The Lord CHANCELLOR. — Was the verdict to the satisfaction of the learned Judge ? Mr. CAMPBELL.— There is no reason to suppose it was not, my Lord. It does not appear upon the report, Mr. Serjeant RUSSHLL.— Nothing- of the kind was stated. Mr. CAMPBELL. — From the manner in which the Jury answered certain questions, there is no doubt the verdict was to the satisfaction of the learned Judge. The Lord CHANCELLOR.— The Jury decided upon the credit due to a certain witness. Mr. CAMPPELL.— And as to another point, namely, that they disbelieved a particular meeting-, to. which that witness spoke. Mr. HORNE.— We have no objection for your Lord- ship to ask the learned .

County Fire Office, AND PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, Regent Street, London, ESTABLISHED 1806. INTENDED LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION CANAL. fN Order to give increased Facility to the Passage of Goods and other Articles between the Port of Loudon and the Midland Districts, it is pro- posed to make a navigable Canal from the Grand Junction Canal at Braunston to a Point of the Slrat- ford- on- Avon Canal, Ten Miles only distant from the Town of Birmingham, to which Place there is a direct Canal Communication, free from Lockage. The Promoters of this Improvement in Canal Navi gation have merely to state, that if the proposed Tine of Canal, which has been surveyed and carefully examined by Thomas Telford, Esquire, as Engineer be adopted, the Trade from London to Birmingham' and Places beyond, will have to pass between Braun- ston and Birmingham through only twenty Locks instead of seventy- seven Locks, which are found on the shortest existing Line of Communication between these two Points. Tlie Time aud Expense thus saved will not only be advantageous to the Trade passing from London to Birmingham, but must prove an important Benefit to the Coal aud Iron Districts of Staffordshire, Worces- tershire, and Shropshire, while all Trade passing to more distant Places will find a further Saving of Time and Distance beyond that which will arise from the recent Improvements on the Line of the Birmingham Canal towards Wolverhampton, and the Construction of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal which is in active Progress, and when completed will form a Junction with the Ellesmere and Chester Canal and through that with tlie Port of Liverpool and Town of Manchester, altogether by a descending Lockage. Iu Addition to the before- mentioned very important Advantages, it is proposed to make a Branch of about one Mile in Length from the intended new Line of' Canal, near the City of Coventry, close to which it passes, to join the Coventry Canal, and through it form a new Connection with the Grand Trunk (.' anal whereby the Distance between the Metropolis and the Staffordshire Potteries, the Port of . Liverpool, and the Town of Manchester, by the Line of ihe Coventry and Grand Trunk Canals, vwll be diminished ten Miles at the least. The Extent of the proposed London and Birming- ham Junction Canal will be about thirty- five Miles and its Course through the Country will not annoy or injure the Residence of any Individual., The Expense of completing this Canal, after being carefully exa- mined, is estimated at Three Hundred Thousand Pounds; and in Order to secure an ample Return for this Expenditure, it is considered a very moderate Tonnage will be sufficient. It is proposed to raise the Amount of Capital by a Subscription of Shares of One Hundred. Pounds each. [ on which a Deposit of One Pound per Shaie will be' required to he paid to the Treasurers, Messrs. MOIL- LIET, SMITH, and PEARSON, Bankers, Birmingham or Sir JOHN WILLIAM LUBBOCK, Bart, and Company\ Bankers, London.

The. gallant officer, fell a victim to the climate within the first year of his appointment.— Surely this charnel- house of a Settle- ment will be abandoned. STEAM COACHES.— Several prfvate companies, oi" partnerships, have been entered into, for the purpose of running steam- coaches on the different roadsS leading to and from London. A very Serious ques- tion is expected to be started ou the running of these coaches; namely— whether they shall oi not pay toll at the turnpikes, and if so, at what rate they shall be charged ? A correspondent is anxious to know what will be the consequence of the establishment of steam carriages to landholders, farmers, and breeders of horses r He argues that the first wil! not be able" to get their rents, which farmers can hardly pay now — when there are upwards of 2,000 horses on the road between London and Bristol, every one of which is calculated to consume three acres of" provender; and that the last will naturally cease tci breed horses for which there is uo market or demand^ and then away goes our national superiority in these^ animals, and consequently the force of our cavalry !! Lastly, he argues that the revenue would be sorely if not calamitously affected by tbe substitution of steam power for horses iu public vehicles, not only in the way of taxation, but by that depres- sion in the agricultural'interests, which is atike fatai to the peer aud the peasant. On the night of the 30th ult. six oxen, the; property of R, T. Bateman, Esq. were stolen,, and driven off' tha farm at Hill Grove, near Wells.- They were, after a long and tedious search, discovered by his bailiff in the possession of Benjamin Peace, farmer, cf Vthinfofd, near Bristol, who had purchased them at the Bristol market, and they were entered on the market toll- book as bought of G. Joues, in all probability an assumed name.— Although sworn to by twtf respectable witnesses, the farmer, by the advice of hta attofuc'yj refused to deliver them up. We announce, with feelings of no ordinary degree of satisfaction, that trade is in an improving state ia the Staffordshire Potteries. The present Martinmas hiring has form - d quite a contrast in briskness to that of last year; and the winter prospect, is altogether such as must be highly gratifying to persons of benevolent minds.— Staffordshire Adv. HORSE STEALING.—' Extraordinary Pursuit.— On Friday night, the 2d of November instant, four valuable cart horses were stolen from the parishes of Clifford and Dorstone, Herefordshire, out of grounds lying immediately on the road belween Hardwick and Peterchurch. Early the next morn- ing Mr. Thomas Dowell, a most respectable farmer of the above parish of Dorstone, voluntarily and without solicitation mounted his spirited steed and went in pursuit of the marauders, accompanied by Mr. Davies of Westbrook, the owner of one ofthe horses stolen. The first intimation they bad of the horses was at the Bacho Hill, which led them to proceed directly to Ross, where they arrived iu less than an hour and a half from the tim" he left home, a distance of nearly thirty miles. Here they ob tained satisfactory intelligence that they were oil the right scent, which caused them to hasten wilh all possible speed towards the Framilode Passage over the Severn, whore they were again informed that horses of the description lost had passed over about six hours before. They were now in the greatest embarrassment, their horses having been completely knocked up, and not able to procure another at any price, and at a loss which road to take, there being so many bye- ways in those parts^ However their determination and ardour were not to be repressed, even under these most trying difficulties. They resolutely followed on foot,- sometimes running and sometimes walking, and not ( infrequently obliged to retrace their steps on finding they had taken the wrong road ; and in this manner they travelled the whole of Saturday night, over hedges and ditches, occasionally by chance meeting with a guide over a desolate and wild country, without any turnpikes, aud after proceeding more than sixty miles, at lenglh they were rewarded for this wonderful exertion and determined resolu- tion, by finding the four animals, With two others that had been stolen, grazing in a piece of ground about four miles from Bradford, in Wiltshire, belonging to a farmer who had long1 beeu in the practice of tacking horses for the night, but unfortu- nately the thieves contrived to escape. A promise, however, has been given by a neighbouring Ma- gistrate that every exertion shall be used to apprehend them. A proposition has been made to acknowledge Mr. Dowell's persevering and dis- interested services iu this affair by presenting him with a piece of plate. The luxuriant produce of our provincial fruit trees, has reduced the price of common cider and perry to 4d. per gallon, whilst the choicer fruits for the table aud dessert, such as the nonpareil, the brandy- apple, the pearniain, and the swan- egg, bring only from 4s. to 5s. the bushel in our markets. •— The demand for large casks of every description has more than doubled their usual value,— Hereford Journal.

Iron versus Feathers.— Dr. Swift in his ever- memorable voyage to Laputa describes some of the scheming speculators among that theoretical people, as very busily occupied iu a process for softening down marble for the stuffing of pillows and pin- cushions, instead of the feathers, hair, wool, or cotton, usually employed for such purpose. But what this caustic satirist would have derided as au impracticable theory, we have lived to see reduced to actual practice. Credulity itself will startle at Ihe mention of the easiest, the softest, Ihe most elastic and Ihe most luxurious of all beds, being stuffed witu iron!!! and not only beds, but sofas, Ottomans, invalid chairs, and various olher articles of luxurious furniture! We are not speaking iron- ically ; but actual matter of fact— beds and chairs stuffed with iron- wire in a spiral form, whose elas- ticity makes the latter always retain thesame shap-, and the former never to require making!

The Free Trade and Reciprocity Systems. [ AS- RIDGED FROM THE BRISTOL JOURNAL.} LOCOMOTIVE STEAM- ENGINE. NIMHOD'S YORKSHIRE TOUR. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. DF. AR SIR,— Ridicule is, prhaps, the keenest weapon that can be used under certain circum- stances; but it tells with much less effect upon matters of fact than upon sentiments; and where it is employed to prejudice the unwary aud ignorant, on subjects of great and general interest, it is misapplied and unwarrantable— if falsehood be superadded, it is detestable. 1 am led to make these observations, having pe- rused, in your Journal of the 7th instant, an attack upon the Locomotive Engine— equally false and ridiculous. Who Nirmod is 1 have not the most distant idea, and this is the first specimen of his writings 1 have met with, but I recommend, that in the nest travels he writes, the scene should be laid further from home, in some terra incognita, whence witnesses are not likely to spring, to prove him a faithful disciple of Munchausen or a confirmed Pseud ologist. To shew your Renders how far Nimrod is worthy of credibility, 1 shall proceed to name a few circum- stances, which will, at least, peel oft" a little of the varnish of his story, and strip it of some of its tinsel. He says Yarm is five miles from Darlington. Did ever any one get between the two towns with- out travelling ten ? The night of his adventure, he adds, " was dark. 1' How then did he or his horse so distinctly see the engine, or discover wilh such precision, what the broad glare of day rarely dis- covers, the " black faces, the red lips, and white teeth of the wretches running to and fro ?" These are spoken of as an active multitude. One man and one boy stationary at their posts, whilst the machine is in motion, is the number of its attend ants. As to " the fire," it is invisible, being entirely enclosed in the boiler. How many horses, to the terror of their riders, shun a waggon with flowing cover, or a loaded stage coach, or even the simplest vehicle? That a travelling engine is a new carriage, aud that some time may be required to render all kinds of horses perfectly familiar with the sight of it, will be more readily granted, and can be more easily proved, ' than that it is a " nuisance" of the first magnitude, which Nimrod describes. " Facts are stubborn things!" And after having been in the way of hearing every thing that has occurred, 1 can only speak of two" trivial accidents as having happened in the course of upwards of two years, although these pretended monsters, to the number of about half a dozen, are continually passing and re- passing- the field of this hero's exploits. Nimrod's friend, Mr. Flounders, of Yarm, 1 have the honour of knowing well, and know him to be a gentleman of too good taste to allow of his riding in or on a railway coach, as he occasionally does, were it such a vehicle as ftimrod, with his wonted veracity, describes. Perhaps, Nimrod's owucarri age ( if he has one) may sometimes look dirty and shabby, as carriages of such a description exist every where. But there are such railway coaches, and drawn by such horses, as render them a valu- able and becoming conveyance for the first ladies and gentlemen of the land, and, consequently, have the honour of their support. 1 have nothing to do with such illustrative stuff as appears in other parts of this charming sketch. Nimrod's assertions, that he had his horse " in a hole"— that, the horse is naturally a timid animal"— "- that a resemblance of Hell is enough to alarm ihe Devil himself," are all of a piece with the rest, equally admirable and equally correct. But in any way to attempt to write down an invention already invaluable, and which promises to become, through progressive improvements, the first of its day, is monstrous taste and deplorable ignorance. I have little doubt, that if Nimrod's head and neck remain erect a few years longer, he may be as glad to enter a steam- coach for London as to mount his liuuter for the chase. The application of Mr. lluskisson's new theories to our Colonial Trade, we proposed next to consider. We call them Mr. ftuskisson's theories, because he has been their chief advocate arid champion, both in and out of Parliament, and whether praise or blame at- taches to them, he tells us in his printed speech, as a Minister of the Crown, that he is ready to meet any responsibility which attaches to him as their author. The grounds on which it has beeu attempted to justify the admission of the Northern States to a direct inter- course with our colonies, are the following, viz.— First, The treaties previously entered into with Portugal and with the United States; that with Portugal arose so notoriously out of a political alliance, that it almost loses its character of a commercial arrangement ; and we are at present reaping the fruits of the connexion in the expenses attendant on the occupation of that coun- try by British troops, and the risk of a continental war resulting out of it ; and so far from the American treaty being a justification of the subsequent ones, it ought to have been a warning to avoid them. Tbe consequence of the American Reciprocity tieaty was, that our ships were near It/ driven out of the colonial lumber trade. Instead, therefore, of quoting this as a precedent pro- ductive of good, a prudent Statesman would have rather sought the means of abrogating so injurious a treaty, than confirming it.— It lias secondly been con- tended, that having conceded this trade to the United States, there was . neither justice nor policy in with- holding it from other foreign powers. The justice of the matter may at once fairly be put out ofthe question ; the choice rested entirely with ourselves. To whatever country it was granted, it was a boon on our part—- a gift which none could demand, any more than they could enforce. The policy, too, of the concessions has fallen to the ground. The United States,— and we congratulate the country on the event,— having refused to accept the conditions imposed on the concession, have very justly been excluded altogether. And for this bold arid decisive step it would be unjust to with- hold the praise that the Ministers deserve. But this prohibition sweeps away at once the whole of the argu- ment for the general relaxation of our colonial com- merce; this relaxation in favour of the Northern powers having been made, because it had previously been granted to the United States, in consistency it ought to follow, that having been withdrawn, it should be withdrawn from ihe European Powers also. But with all of them, unfortunately, we have entered into a ten years' commercial treaty. When it became a question, whether the Powers in the North of Europe should trade direct to our colonies, was the enquiry made, whether it was for their well- being or not ? Was the cui bono discussed? Was the result foreseen, or could it be even predicted? M M us kiss on himself shall answer the question. A more bitter sarcasm on the system its most violent opponents could not pronounce. Adverting to the principles of ' he new colonial system, Mr. H; says, " These, it may be objected, are but vague and speculative improve- ments, which may never be realized. It may be so, and if I am called upon to point out specifically the precise mode aud course of operation, by which the benefits of this new system are to make their way in the West Indies, I have no hesitation in avowing, that I can do no such thing ! !" We had almost determined to let our article close with this humiliating confession. Will our Colempora- ries attempt to justify their favourite theories, when they hear a Minister of the Crown recommending a series of changes deeply affecting the most important interests of the empire, upon no better foundation than some vague, undefined notions of prospective advan- tage !! Among other statements of Mr. Huskisson, he truly observed that our West- India Colonies ought not to depend on ihe good- will of any one Power for the sup- ply of articles of the first necessity; and it cannot be denied, that it is of the greatest importance to this country and the West Indies, that they should not depend for such supply upon any foreign power or powers, if it can be derived on any thing like equal terms from the Mother Country or her Colonies. Bul if it be necessary to have recourse to the cheaper mar- kets of the Continent of Europe for provisions, &<;, and to convey them direct from continental ports to our colonies, what becomes of the flattering' piopbesies of the advocates for free trade, that ihe . warehousing system would make this country " the emporium of the commerce of the whole world." If these words have any meaning, ihey must mean that foreign nations will make England the mart of their trade, and come here ti> buy and sell their several commodities in preference to a direct interchange with each other. But how can this be, if England cannot be the emporium of com- merce between her own colonies and the North of Europe? To give to England that advantage, and to 1 secure to her shipping the carrying out of the bulky articles supplied from the North of Europe, could we not, in affording W different States the boon of trading to onr colonies, have confined the carrying to British ships? Surely to Prussia, who has not a single trans- marine possession, it would have been a sufficient advantage that she should be allowed to send her produce into our colonies, without requiring that her shipping' should be employed in its transport. But il. was necessary, says Mr. Huskisson, to encourage the • shipping of the North of Europe, as a counterpoise to the dangerously- increasing naval power of the United . Slates! The reverse of this argument, it cannot be forgotten, was used at the commencement of the pre- sent century. Theu the encouragement of the Ameri- can marine was justified in order to check that of our enemies in the North of Europe. That baneful policy assisted to warm into life and activity the serpent of whose sting we now appear to be afraid. Let us beware how we raise up a second rival in onr present protegees. — Gratitude towards England from foreign states will never be gained by prostrating her strength at their feel. It is only by firmly upholding British interests, that we can create a power always ready to be employed in the defence of Britain's rights and independence. The suspension, by Mr. Pitt, of our Navigation Laws and Colonial Restrictions, to which he found it neces- sary, in different instances, to have recourse, it is well known he lived to regret. In the Ait ti. Jacobin Review for Aug 18* 27, is the following passage ;—" Previous to his death, he expressed to one of his political friends his regret at ever having been induced, by existing circoinstances, to relax the maritime rights of Britain, and his determination to re- establish the system which had been acted upon during the administration of his father." The late Prime Minister, and joint advocate with Mr. Huskisson for the free trade and reciprocity system, w- us a well- known contributor to this Review. Was he the political friend lowborn the patriot PITT expressed his latest opinions and dying- wishes upon this vitally important subject ? w It has always seemed to us not the least important branch of this great national subject, that Ihe increase and proper management of our forests cannot hut he attended with the most beneficial effect on the popula- tion of the country. Where there lies stretched a wide tract of land, affording scanty food fur unsheltered flocks, the country vvill soon,- under a judicious system, shew ihe scene most delightful lo the eye— an inter- mixture of pastoral and sylvan scenery, where Ceres, without usurping the land, finds also spots for cultiva- tion. For even the plough has its ofHee in this species of improvement. In numerous places we are surprised to see ihe marks of furrows upon plains, upon bleak hill sides, and in wild moorland. We are not to suppose that, in the infancy of agriculture, our ancestors were able to raise crops of corn where w e see only heath and fern. But in former times, and while the hills retained their natural clothing of wood, such spots were sheltered by adjacent trees, and were thus rendered capable of producing crops. There can be no doubt that, the protection being restored, the power of production would again return, and that in the neighbourhood ofthe little hamlets required for the occu pation of the forester, the means of his simple subsistence would be again produced. The effects of human industry would, as usual, overbalance every disadvantageous consideration, and man would raise food for himself and his domestic animals in the region where his daily labour gained his daily bread. 4< There would thus arise in the wild desert a hardy and moral population, living hy the axe and mat tuck, pursuing iheir useful occupation ina mode equally favourable to health and to morality. The woods, re- quiring in succession planting, pruning, thinning, felling, and barking, would furnish to such labourers a constant course of employment. They would be naturally attached to the soil on which they dweil, and ihe proprietor who afforded them the means of life would he very undeserving if he had not his share of that attachment. In a word, the melancholy maxim of the poet would he confuted, and Ihe race of bold peasantry whom want and devastation had driven from these vast wilds would be restored to their native country. This circumstance alone deserves the most profound attention from every class of proprietors ; whether the philosophical economist, who looks with anxiety for the mode of occupying and supporting an excess of population, or the juvenile sportsman, who seeks the mode of multiplying his game, and increasing the number of his gardes de chasse. The woods which he plants will serve the first purpose, and, kindly treated, his band of foresters will assist in pro- tecting them. ii The only decent pretext which we hear alleged for resisting a call which is sounded from every quarter, is the selfish excuse, that the profits of plantations make a tardy and distinct return. To a person who argues in this manner it is in vain Jo speak of the future welfare of the country, or of the immediate benefit to the poor inhabitants, or of the honour justly attached to the memory of an extensive improver, since he must be insensible even to the benefit which his family must derive from the improvement recom- mended; we can, notwithstanding, meet him on his own ground, and affirm, that the advantage to the proprietor who lias planted a hundred acres begins at ihe very commencement of the undertaking, and may be realized whenever it is the pleasure of the pro- piietor that such realization shall lake place. If, for example, he chooses to sella plantation at five years old, or at any earlier period, there is little doubt that il will be accounted worth the sum which the plant a tion cost him in addition to the value of the land, and also Ihe interest upon the expense so laid out. After this period the value increases in a compound ratio; and at any period when the planter chooses to sell his property, he must and will derive an advantage from his plantations, corresponding to their state of ad-, vancement. It is true that the landed proprietor's own interest will teach him not to be too eager in realizing the profits of his plantations, because every year that he retains them, adds rapidly to their value But still ihe value exists as much as that of the plate in his strong box, and can be converted « s easily into money should he be disposed to sell ihe plantations which he has formed." e QTurfcfati iSmpfri. panics called ortas, like those of the Janissaries, and are under the command of the Governors of the provinces, who are obliged to march at their head in case of war. The Pachas assemble the possessors of these fiefs, and conduct them to the rendezvous assigned hy the Seraskier Pacha. The number of fiefs amount to 385,000. They are obliged fo furnish each a man and a horse. The second corps or regular troops was composed formerly of the famous Janissaries. They amounted formerly lo 40,000 men. Besides these there are 12,000 spahisi or Cavalry; 5,000 topgis, or artillery men; and in case of war, 5,000 sailors. These troops are now replaced by the regular militia, disciplined according to tlie European tactics. They probably amount to about fifty thousand men. The total amount of ihe forces which the Ottoman can raise has been frequently calculated. It amounts lo 712,000 men, of whom only 62,000 receive regular pay. The 10,000 which Moldavia and Wallachia are bound to furnish, are not included in ihis calculation, nor the auxiliary Tartars which the Sulfan can sum- mon to arms. When the empire is menaced, every Mussulman must bear arms, and it is prescribed^ that a Turk ought to kill, at least, three Infidels. On ihe other hand, the Divan ordinarily condemns to dealh the General who loses a battle, and, at least, he is dismissed and banished. The Turkish army forms three encampments in the European manner. The Tartar auxiliary cavalry range themselves in two lines around the camp. Behind them are ranged the Timariots, or possessors of fiefs, with some field, ' pieces, and last a line of infantry. The chief camp is in the form of a square. Each Pacha assembles there his division, in the middle of which is the tent of the Seraskier, or the General- in- Chief. The Mussulman army was formerly highly distinguished, hut is now- much degenerated. The Turks are no longer the formidable people who conquered a part of Europe. For the last century this empire has been going gradually lo decay. Without doubt a last effort wiil be made on the present, occc& sion. Il may be violent, desperate ; but . lhe formidable armies of Russia are encamped on the frontier. Habituated to all tbe tactics of- Europe, ihey may soon be able to scatter these armies of the East, where fanaticism unites for a moment under the standard of the Prophet. However, such an event could not happen • without awaking all the rivalry and jealousy of ihe other European Powers. It has been said that the Turks would a good deal embarrass the other Cabinets if they were to abandon Constantinople and their possessions in Europe. It may be con- ceived that these embarrassments would be increased if Russia wished to increase her territory al the expense of the Ottoman Porte, aud plant her eagles on the minarets of the ancient city of Constantinople. i% f0C£ Uasi* 0U0 SnttUigmce* ON PLANTING WASTE LANDS. [ From the Quarterly Review.'] " Every one ( says the writer) will own that this subject is of the most momentous interest to the country. St is long since ihe alarm was sounded ou the subject of . the decay and destruction ofthe national forests, announcing the immense increase of the de- mand for oak timber, IBE advance of Ihe price of fir timber, the inadequacy of the. present forests long to supply the increasing demand, and ihe apathy with which Government omitted to provide for evils which seemed rapidly advancing. " While these facts are. granted, ii must, at the same lime, BE admitted, that the time of peace is that in which we can best recruit the resources of the nation, and strengthen her sinews for future wars; and that at present, therefore, ihe country has few more important subjects of consideration, than those which refer to providing a stock of timber for future emergencies. " The most useful style of planting, that which can be executed at the least expense, and which must ultimately return the greatest profit, is that respecting large tracts. of waste land, which, by judicious manage- ment, may be converted into highly profitable wood- land, without taking from agriculture ihe value of a sheaf of corn, or even greatly interfering with pastoral occupation— so far as that occupation is essentially advantageous. TL The bills of Wales, those of Derby, Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, and pari of York shire aud Lancashire, together with tbe more- exten- sive wastes and mountainous regions which compose by far the greater part of Scotland, have, IU general, the same character, presenting naked wildernesses of rock and heath, and moor land, swelling into hills anu mountains of greater or less elevation, and intersected by rivers and large lakes, many of them navigable; in short, pointed out by nature as the site of lofty woods, wilh which, indeed, her own unassisted efforts had, at au early period, clothed them ; for nothing can be more certain than that ( he sterile districts we have described were, in ancient limes, covered with continued forests." The following article, containing nn outline of the Turkish Government, is extracted from ihe Qtioii- dienrie of the 30th ult As impoitant diplomatic negotiations attract the attention of Europe on the Ottoman Empire, it may not he uninteresting to give an outline of the interior organization of that Government, about which such exaggerated ideas have been given. The Turkish Government rests on only one foundation— ihut of religion. The whole system, political and civil, has this for its origin. The duties of the citizens take their rise from this as well as the constitution of the state, and Ihe rights of the dynasty. The Sultans are believed lo be the image of ihe Divinity; and as Commanders of Ihe Believers, God makes use of them to rewwd Mussulmans, and punish infidel kings and nations. Whatever may be ihe character of the Sultan, he is declared to he the seal of God, and consequently is inviolable. His orders are considered as emanations of the Divinity, unless they are opposed to the precepts of the Koran. This exception ac- counts for almost all the enthronements of lhe Chiefs I of I slam ism. The Princes who have been sacrificed have almost all been victims of disobedience to the laws of the sacred volume. The Mufti and the Lawyers pronounced— the Janissaries did the rest before they were destroyed. The successor of the Sultan is always chosen from the Imperial Dynasty The Council of Supreme Functionaries is composed in the following manner:-— The Sultan, the Grand Vizier, tlie Mufti, the Colmacan ( Governor of Con- stantinople) the two Kadileskers ( or Chiefs of the Cadis) the Reis Effendi ( Minister of Foreign Affairs) the Aga of ihe Janissaries, the Aga of ibe Spa his, the Captain Pacha ( High Admiral). These compose the Divan, together with the six Viziers of the Benches, Pachas with two tails, and all the Pachas who may happen to be at Constantinople. The Divan assembles as a Council of State, and sometimes as a Supreme Court. In the first case it discusses the interests of ihe empire, peace, war, diplomatic relations, plans of internal improvement, and answers petitions. When theConncil sits as a Supreme Court il decides appeals, civil as well as criminal. The Divan also gives judgment respecting complaints brought against the Ministers, the Pachas, and the Grand Dignitaries, whether of the empire at large or of the Seraglio-, and against those'eveu who form the Divan. The accused members cannot sit in judgment when those ac- cusations are under Consideration. T$ e ' Grand Vizier presides, and in his absence ihe Mufti. The Grand Seignior has no visible influence there. He has not even a vote, although he is almost always present at their sittings ; but he remains iu a recess, to which he comes from his apartments, where lie can see and hear all, but remains himself concealed. The Mi- nisters and Councillors must speak in an audible voice, so as to he heard by their master, iu order that he may judge of the zeal of each. The finances of the State, though in general well managed in Turkey, are not rich. The regular imposts are extremely moderate. The first is raised from the custom houses on the frontiers and at the ports. The second is raised from all the lands, without distinction, situate in Ihe dominions of ihe Grand Seignior— in those of the Mosques and the fiefs. The imposts are fixed by a uniform tariff for each government ovpakali. The third is a capitation tax, levied from the Giaours— that is to say, infidels, Austrians, Jews, Armenians, and others.' Catholics pay more than Greek Christians. The fourth impost is on provisions, & c. which pass from one place to another. Sometimes, however, the Sultan imposes particular duties, or allows severe exactions from the people. In ihis way, Mahomed, the present Sultan, has issued a decree, ordering his subjects- to carry 1 o the Mint, the vessels of gold and. stiver,. and... receive in return coin, in which he wished to increase the / nominal vafue. This Firman has not been carried into effect because the Turks showed great opposition to it The Treasury of the Saltan is distinct from lhat of the State, and is under an administration of its own. As every thing in the government takes its rise from religion, it is decreed that every Mussulman must fight against infidels, when the empire is menaced and unless he obeys, he shall be deprived, not only of the joys promised lo those who die for the faith, bul shall incur eternal damnation. The militia, properly so called, of the Turks, does not present an imposing appearance— they are of two sorts, the one derive their subsistence from certain lands granted by the State, the others are paid in money. The lands granted to the soldiers are called Timariots, or military fiefs, and according to their tenure ihey are obliged to defend the Ottoman Empire. Tliey are divided into coin- His Majesty has directed a naval promotion, and tbe conferring of some Orders on the principal officers engaged in the victory of Navarin. The three Admirals— she French, Russian, and English—; TRE to have the Grand Cioss of the Bath. The Captains are also to be MADE Companions. AU ihe British officers in the action are to be promoted, and twelve Lieutenants will he made Commanders. RUSSIA AND PERSIA.— The accounts frovn the seat of war in Georgia, even though transmitted through Russia, indicate any thing but rapid suc- cess on the part of the Northern Power. Probably7, if we could read the Persian story, it would de- scribe the situation of the invaders as yet more perplexing- and unpropitious, — their disasters more numerous — their petty successes more doubtful. It appears that Erivan will not be besieged, and is certainly not likely to fall before winter : the siege of Sardal- Abad, which must first be sub- dued, was not begun till the 7th of last month. Still, we can hardly persuade ourselves that Rus- sia will be foiled in the enterprise But if she" succeed, what does she gain? A less clearly- defined frontier, and a greater surface of country, over which her troops must be scattered far and wide for the purpose of security or defence. Would. she be one step nearer us in India, should political circumstances change the present happy relations of the two powers? Locally and geo- graphically nearer she would be, but morally more remote: for she would have an iil- subdued and imbittered population in the rear and flanks of her advancing army; and she has already shown, by her present attack upon Persia, the difficulties incident to an expedition into Southern Asia.— Times. GAMBLING.— The fountain of cozenage and villainy, a thing so common all over Europe at this day, that many men are utterly undone by it, means spent, patrimonies consumed, they and their posterity beggared, besides swearing', wrangling, drinking, and such other inconveniences, which are ordinary concomitants. For when once they have got a haunt of such companies and habit of gaming, they can hardly be drawn from it; but, as an itch, it will tickle them, and, as it is with wh— e- masters, once entered, they eaunot easily leave it off: vexat mantes insana cupido— they are mad upon their sport. That which was once their livelihood, should have maintained their wife, children, family, is now spent and gone, sorrow and beggary succeeding. So g'ood things may be abused; and that which was first invented to refresh man's weary spirits, when they come from other labours and studies, to exhilarate the mind, to entertain time and company, tedious otherwise in long solitary winter nights, and keep them from worse matters, an honest exercise, is perverted.— Burton. RECEIPT STAMP DUTY.— The proceedings which the Commissioners of Stamps have instituted against individuals, for giving receipts for payment of money on unstamped paper, have spread alarm among- all classes of tradesmen, who do not speak ofthe conduct of the commissioners, or of the Go- vernment in permitting it, in the most measured terms. Nothing, we imagine, could have induced the Board of Stamps to originate these vexatious and unpopular prosecutions, but a desire, on the part of the members, to increase the revenue as much as possible, at a period when the usual sources of income do not produce their wonted supplies, and- when a vigorous collection of the duties is requisite to make them realize any thing like the amount they produced in the years of financial prosperity. It is the duty of a paternal government, however, to take care, that, in the too eager pursuit of a paltry sum like that which the duty on receipt stamps produces, they do not hamper trade and inspire the people with disgust of their measures. That the prosecutions instituted by the Com- missioners of Stamps are calculated to produce both these effects may be easily proved. They hamper trade, inasmuch as no person can safely give an acknowledgment for the payment of money but on a receipt stamp ; an assortment of which he must either keep in his desk, or submit to the incon- venience of having to send for them to the stamp distributors' as he may want them. Business is thus interrupted, and the profits of the fair trader which are low enough already, are reduced by the expense of the stamp. But the inconvenience, great as it is to the tradesman in bis own shop, will be far more inconveniently felt in the collection of debts. Before the collector issues forth in the morning on his rounds, he must examine his pockets, to see that they contain a proper assort- ment of receipt stamps, from two- pence upwards; for if, whilst in parts of the town remote from the centre of business, and where stamps cannot be bought, his supply should fail, he must either lose the advantage of receiving the money which may be tendered to him or run the risk of an information being laid against him for giving a receipt on un- stamped paper. The prosecutions, too, inspire the people with disgust of the Government, because they imagine, that the sum whieh the receipt stamps annually produce is too trifling in amount to justify the vexatious proceedings to which its rigid col- lection gives rise, as well as the inconvenience and expense it occasions, particularly to shopkeepers and tradesmen. These considerations are of themselves sufficient to induce the Government to abolish a duty which cannot be levied without injuring' trade and dis- gusting the public. But, when we consider the direct encouragement which the present law holds out to the infamous race of informers; when we consider the distrust which the conduct of the Commissioners of Stamps has occasioned already; and When we consider, that every tradesman who has given a receipt for money on unstamped paper ( and what tradesman has not?) may be informed against by any rascal to whom, in the course, or even in the hurry of business he may have given such a receipt, we cannot too strongly condemn the impolicy of the prosecutions on which we are animadverting. Government should not hold out inducements for men to inform against their neigh- bours for the infringement of a fiscal regulation which it was impolitic ever to impose, and which ought to be repealed immediately. We trust that the shopkeepers and tradesmen throughout the country will bestir themselves in this business, and that, by making proper repre- sentations, they will induce the Government to propose the, repeal of the receipt stamp duty to Parliament on its meeting. The tradesmen of Liverpool have set the example, and we hope that the Guardian Society, who have prepared a petition on the subject, will continue to call the attention of the public to this intolerable and annoying- grievance.— Liverpool Albion. IMPORTANT TRIAL.— SLAVE PROPERTY.— A very curious and important trial came lo be finally heard on Tuesday, June 26, by Lord Slowtll, in the Admiralty Court, which involves the right of the purchaser of a slave to reclaim his property in the slave, after the slave shall have been in England ancJ shall have returned to the colony. It has beeuf believed, and, indeed, held in law, that the fact of a slave's touching the soil of Britain of itself manumits him. Many readers will" remember a remarkable passage, in one of the speeches of Curran of which this notion is the basis. The fact is, however, we understand, that, although a decision has been recorded ( Somerset's case, heard by Lord Mansfield) which gives authority to ihis nolion of ihe law, the practice is very different ; and that there are a vast number of slaves in the colonies, who continued to be, to be treated as if they were, the undoubted property of ihe master, although they ( the slaves) have been in England at some period of their lives. Sti consequence, this cause, which has been in progress for twelve months, has been watched with much interest by persons connected with Wrest India, property. The facts of the case in brief are these:-— hi 1822, Mrs. Allen, of Antigua, came lo England, bringing with her a black female slave, named Grace. The latter resided with her mistress here until 1823, when she relumed to Antigua. Iu 1825 she was seized by the crown, as a manumitted slave; and in 1826 the proceedings, which are come to near a close, were commenced. The appellant is Mr. Nicol, the protector of slaves iu Antigua, on the part of the crown, against Mr. Allen, the husband of Mrs. Allen above named, and ihe claimant of the slave. The process was instituted in the Vice- Admiralty Court, at Antigua, and the decision of lhat court was against the crown, affirming the right of the claimant, the former owner of the slave. The cause before Lord Slowell was an appeal from that decision. The arguments of the learned counsel had been heard two days before; and the third day ( June 26) Dr. Lushiug- ton was heard at grcal length. The judgment of Ihe great lawyer and judge ( Lord Stowell) was not pronounced until Tuesday, Ihe 6th of November instant; and his Lordship's final decision was— not from any previous prepossession, but from a close- consideration of ihe statutes—" that a slave, though oil landing in England he becomes free, ceases to be BO, when he shall have returned to the Colony from which he was brought, a residence in England never having been considered to give lhat extended protection which was here contended for. Pennant records an ill- natured proverb applicable to the people of the Carse of Gowrie, I hat " they want water in the summer, fire in the winter, and the grace of God all the year round." A landed gentleman of ihe Carse used lo complain very much of Ihe awkward- ness and stupidity of all the men whom he employed, declaring, thai if he were only furnished with good clay, he believed he could make better men himself. Th; s ridiculous tirade got wind among the peasantry, and excited their no small indignalion. One of their class soon afterwards found an opportunity of reveng- ing himself and his neighbours upon the author, by a Cut wilh his own weapon. It so happened, that the laird was so unfortunate one day as lo fall into a quag^ mire, the material of which was of such a nature as lo hold him fast, and put exiricalion out of his own power. In his dilemma, observing a peasant ap- proaching, he called out to bim, and desired his assist- ance, in order that he might get himself relieved from his unpleasant confinement. The rustic, recognising him immediately, paid no attention to his entreaties, but passed carelessly by; only giving him one know- ing look, and saying, " I see ye're making your menj laird, I'll no disturb you !"

S— There are at present in town what are called shooting galleries, where, for half- a- crown. any puppy may have a dozen shots with a duelling- pistol, at duelling distance, and instructions how to use the weapon. Were the practice confined to the upper classes, however absurd, the thing might pass ; but when we are informed that these shooting galleries are frequented by young tradesmen, and clerks of every descrip- tion, the joke becomes too serious. In a short time, we suppose, we shall have men- milliners, sending- messages to their rivals in trade, and, perhaps, as folly seldom stops short, to their customers.— Weekly Times. YEOMANRY.— The title Yeoman is generally in no esteem, because its worth is not known. A yeoman, that is authentically such, is, by bis title, on a level with an esquire. All the difference is, that one hath the precedcnce of the other, as a marquis hath precedence of an earl, and that one is of Norman, and the other of old English deriva- tion. The title yeoman is of military origin, as well as that of esquire, and other titles of honour. Esquires were so called, because they carried for their defence an ecu or shield ; and yeomen were so styled because, besides the weapons proper for close engagement, they fought with arrows and the bow, which were made of yew, a tree that hath more repelling force and elasticity than any other. In ancient times, kings and chiefs, and all princely knights were attended by esquires and yeomen, that wore so styled by virtue ef their office. In battle, while the king, prince, or chief knight was occupied in arranging the army, or battalion, and conducting the engagement, the office of the esquires of the body was to defend his person in case of a personal attack, for which purpose they bore shields; and that of the yeoman was to encounter the enemy, for which they were armed with the most proper of offensive weapons ; whence the Latin of the first is scutarius, as foreigners agr^ e, and the latter armi ger. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.— On Wednesday last, the Duke of Wellington changed horses at the Bell Hotel, in this town, on his way to Bradby, the seat of the Earl of Chesterfield, where, we under- stand, his Grace intends to stop a short time. In the course of Thursday, the inhabitants of the different towns and villages in the neighbourhood hearing of the duke's arrival, endeavoured by different means to get a sight of the " great captain of the age." The noble host, aud to his credit be it spoken, desired the individuals who wished to see his Grace, to come into the house, where an elegant and sumptuous repast was set out, consisting of game and various sorts of wine. The Duke, while the company were partaking of his lordship's bounty, walked round the table, conversing with theseveral individuals in the house, in a kind and affable manner. The party shortly after departed, highly pleased with the kindness shown them.— Leicester Herald. An iron and copper mine has been discovered on the north, west of Somersetshire, about 300 yards from Ihe church al Luekham, near Porlock, on the summit of a knoll, which bids fair lo be of great importance Many persons are already employed, and a cargo of the ore has been shipped lo Ihe forges at Swansea for tbe purpose of being smelted. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Garrett and Son, late bankers in Hereford, it was resolved to appoint an inspector to undertake the collection of the residue of the assets due to Ihe firm, and as far as they extend to pay off the demands against it ; also to grant a letter of licence lo Messrs. Garrett for one year, with power lo the inspector to extend it, if necessary, for winding up the concern; and to grant Messrs. G. and Son a general release of all debts due to those who sign the licence, as soon as the inspector shall be of opinion that the concerns of the firm have received all the aid that cati be expected-, from Messrs. Garrett and Son, and lhat a final dividend shall then be made. His Majesty has been pleased to grant liis Royal letters- patent to an individual of this town, for his great improvements in mangles, which is likely entirely to supersede the unwieldy machine in common use ; the new one not occupying- more than one quarter of the space, or requiring more than half the usual labour,— Leeds Intelligencer. COMPARATIVE TABLE. At the request of several of our friends, we have, for the accommodation of Agriculturists, Maltsters, and Corn- Dealers, compiled the following Table, by which is shewn the value of a Bushel of Wheat, Barley, Malt, or Oafs, sold by any of the Customary Measures in use in this District ofthe Kingdom, as compared with the value of such Grain sold by the Imperial Bushel or Imperial Quarter ; and it will also at once shew the relative value of any Grain in the different Markets, by comparing ihe prices in the respective columns.— In making the calculations for this Tabic, those fractions only were excluded which did not amount to one farthing ; and as fhe proportions are given as compared with every vari- ation of Id,, in the Shrewsbury customary bushel, from 2s. up to 12s. inclusive, it will be found suffi- ciently copious for every practical purpose.
