The style in which they are ] written is at once clear and simple, conveying- instruc- tion to the youthful mind in a manner unattainable by the use of more elaborate and comprehensive Works, In short, while they fix on the mind the leading- facts in History, and the fundamental principles of Science, ! the Memory is relieved from the burden of retaining a mass of minutiae with which larger books necessarily abound. They consist of separate Catechisms on the 1 following- subjects :— PRIME OAK, ASH, & c. BY MR.

These Lozenges have received a patronage almost unprecedented in I he above cases; they are also of great utility to persons in the habit of Public Speaking; and the highest testimony in the Musical World has been advanced in their favour, where the Voice has been influenced by a humid Atmosphere, and diminished in tone. On this consideration they are particularly useful to Travellers, who are unavoidably exposed to damp. In Boxes, at 2s, and 4s. 6d. ANTACID LOZENGES OF QUININE— The new Preparation of Bark, called Sulphate of Quinine, is the ingredient on which the Tonic properties of these Lozenges depend ; but that the effects may be more adapted to the object for which they are intended, Antacids and Aromatics are combined. The Lozenges can be confidently recommended in all Affections of tli Stomach, such as Indigestion, Heartburn, Acidity, Flatulence, and general Weakness of thai Organ. They are found extremely serviceable in Gouty Attack especially when the Stomach is more immediately en- gaged. In Boxes, at 2s. and 4s. 6d.

TH E VEGETA BLETOOTH- POWDER— This Den- tifrice has so long been in general use, and anappenda; to the fashionable toilet, that it is almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation in favour of it. Com posed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objections so justly formed against the use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to remove those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the Teeth and if used regularly, will preserve them in a sound stale even to old age. In Boxes 2s. 9d. PECTORAL ELIXIR— Experience during a very long- period has inconteslably proved the superior efficacy of ibis Medicine in all cases of Cold, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle ex- pectoralion and acting as an Anodyne, it very shortly relieves the patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remove those which neglect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious symptoms.

A Medicine prepared by a Shropshire Gentleman Farmer, SUPERIOR TO ALL THE PREPARATIONS IN THE WORLD, For the Cure of the Venerenl Disease, the Evil, Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, ana every Dis- order arising*- from Impurity of the Blood. rjlHE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are iL so well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout the Kingdom at large, for the Cure of the above Disorders, and without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As a Purifier of the Blood they are unrivalled in their Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorau Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN OF LIFE, and any other Affliction of the Body arising from a changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN': DROPS may be relied upon for a certain speedy Cure. N. B. Doctor SMITH does not recommend a starv. ing System of Diet: he allows his Patients to live like Englishmen while taking the Ploughman': Drops.

The Proprietor of these Publications respectfully submits the following opinion of the Lord Chan cellor of England ( the especial Guardian of British Yon lb), as delivered by him in the Court of Chancery, July 27, 1819. Mr. WBTHERELL having applied to the LORD CHAN CELLOR to grant nn INJUNCTION to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing, and selling PIRATED EDITIONS OF PINNOCK's CATECHISMS, the originals of which he denominated " useful Com- pendiums of Instruction for the Juvenile Classes of Society his Lordship, on comparing the Spurious Copies with the Genuine Works, granted the injunc lion ; and after having attentively examined the latter, was pleased to make the following important observa. lion on them:—" It appears to me that ADULTS might he greatly benefitted by tin- instruction these Book contain, AS WELL AS THE YOUNGER BRANCHES OF SOCIETY." The Publisher respectfully begs leave to observe, that, independent of the high encomium above mentioned, " PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS" have met with the general approbation of a most numerous and respectable Class of intelligent Teachers. They need only to be seen to ensure their universal adoption ; the information they contain in so small a compass being unparalleled, and the style in which they are written, combining ease, conciseness, and perspicuity. " Being led to look into these works, we have been pleasingly surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they contain, within so small a compass, and in so excellent a form ; and we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well arranged, and proper pub lications, were never submitted to general observation. — Lite> ary Gazette. *** It is necessary to remark, that many spurious Editions externally resembling the above, are circu- lated throughout the Kingdom.

On the presentation of several petitions praying* for the repeal of the It'lnil Act passe<| last Session, Mr IUF. RIES, in reply to the flon. Member for Dorset ( Mr. Portman). said, it was the intention of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer to consult with the parties iinine « ) iiiie| y interested, in order to see w hat nlt^ riifvons might be desirable, and if they ConTd he effected There appeared in u< Bt just ire in th£ ob/ fiet ions to the Act; and he had only t « add, that his Rig- lit Hon. friend could1 have no other object to effect than the due protection of the revenue — that he would he found ready to" investigate the subject fully, and' desirous of affording every practicable ielief to the nmluiers.-— The CHANCELLOR of the ESCHKQUER shortly afier- Wnrds entered ihe House, and said it was his intention, alter the Easter holidays, to give an opportunity for a full discussion of five subject. A long conversation afterwards ensued respecting the late Ministerial Explanations, in the course of which several Menfbers pointedly expressed their dissatisfaction at Mr. Herries's Statement. The Right 11 on. Gentleman himself commenced the conversation, in an endeavour to . set himself right with the Mouse on one point of his former explanation He, however, declined entering further into the subject, Confining himself to reiterating that he did not, could not,. and never would believe, that the misunderstanding be- tween his Right Hon. Friend ( Mr. Husfcisson) and himself w as the real cause ol the dissolution of the late Government .-— Mr. T. S. DCNCOMBB said, if the object of the Right Hon. Gentleman was to mystify and confuse, he had succeeded to a miracle ; but if his object was to elucidate, and to render clear the transactions in which b- o had borne so conspicuous a part, he had most completfK and most miserably failed.— Lord MILTON said that the Jtight Hon. Gent, had imputed a design to break up the lafe frH^ istrv* l » v saying that his own threatened resignation baft o ily beep made a pretence for dissolving it 5 ihe Right Hon. Gentleman had added, 44 1 know this!."' Jf he were cogufsant of such a design, and knew the parties concerned in it, he. had still that to state, as Hie eXp- l& nafions hitherto given Were not worth com- mon attimrion — were as dost in the balance. If he did know of such' design, it was a duty, from which he could not retreat, to give the House an explanation.— Mr. BROUGHAM1 said that the Right Hon. Gentleman had solemnly denied having con suited any party out of the Cabinet on the occasion. He wished further to know whether such denial went to the fact of any individual having consulted with him, as well as his having consulted with any individual ? — Mr. !: *; RIRS thought the Learned Gentleman had no right to put such a question to him', and he therefore declined answering it.— Mr. BROUGHAM added, that if the " Right Hon. Gentleman remained still silent, he would have been infinitely a gainer if he had never ex- plained at all. Mr. C. W. WILLIAMS WYNN had personally no knowledge of any thing that occurred in the ministry prior to the 9th of January; but after all that had passed, he thought further explanation from the Right lion. Gentleman necessary. As to ( lie charge he had" suggested, he ( Mr. Wynn) professed fairly that he did not credit it. He did, however, believe., that if there were grounds for the insinuations of the Right. Hon. Gent, the Noble Lord ( Goderichj- and his col- li7ag" ues in ihe ministry were, from beginning to end, ignorant of them.— MR. ST URGES BOURNE also said that he could not give credit to the representation. He was surprised at the insinuations against the Noble Lord at the head of the late government, and far more at the quarter whence they proceeded. He heard of no differences in the late cabinet, save those of Ihe liight H I'll". Gentlemen ( Mr, llerries and Mr. Ilus- kisson) : lie was in the country when the dissolution took- place, and the newspapers were the first channel by which it was conveyed to him.— Sir JostPH YOP. KE said a greater set of children never met together than Hie members of the late government ; and it was broken up, as it appeared, without the knowledge and concurrence of the majority of its members' He should like to have been satisfied, but the explanations already given were any thing but satisfactory, lie certainly did regret thai his Right Hon. Friend ( Mr. llerries) bad made so lame a business of his explana- tion. — Sir J-, MACDOKALD thought it was neither just towards individuals, nor decent towards the public, that such charges as the liight Hon. Gent, hail made should remain without being answered or supported.— Mr. HRRRIBS repeated his determination not to enter iiito anv disclosures not absolutely necessary to his f Own exculpation ; he felt bound logo no further. He would again state, what he had so often said, and should always continue to say, that his resignation was not the substantive cause of the dissolution of the late cabinet. Some observations' front Lord Normanby drew forth some further remarks in reply from Mr. HERIUBS, but nothing of importance fell from him, as he had evi. deiitlv resolved trot to be urged into a new explana- tion. This bring the case, the conversation, at the instance of IVlr. ftrou^ h'am and Lord Normanbv, was allow ed to drop, and the other orders of the day were entered upon. Colonel DATIES obtained leave to bring in a Rill fo regulate the mode, and to shorten Ihe period, ol Polling iit Elections in cities and boroughs. Mr. COUKTRNAY obtained leave to bring in A Bill to amend the laws relating to Friendly Societies. He Slated that he did not menu to interfere with such as had existed previous to 1810. On the motion of Mr. I\ MACQDEEN, a Select Com- mittee wns appointed to report eo the law respecting 1' u roc Ilia I Settlements. HOUSE OF COM MONS— FRI DAY. f. nrd PALMBRNTON introduced Ihe Army Estimates for the year, aad proposed to take a sum of two mil lions for the Land Forees, and one million for 1 lie Out. Pensioners of Chelsea Hospital, leaving the rest to he acted upon by the decision of the Committee of Finance, should it think proper fo make any reduction in the numbers of the Army. The Noble Lord ulso slated, that the forres employed in the Colonies would he charged in the estimates, which, although an appa- rent, would not be a real increase of expense, as it had hitherto been paid out of the army extranrdiuaries, and had, therefore, been always " defrayed by Ihe country. He stated that, upon the whole, there would be a decrease of 5000 men, and a saving of £ 160,01) 0. In the course of the debate, Mr. Secretary PEBL made some remarks as to the progress of the Finance Committee. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that it was at that innment inquiring into the Navy Esti- mates ; and that one of the Lords of the Admiralty and the Secretary had been summoned, and w'oul'd no doubt give all Ihe information which, consistently with their duty, tliey could afford.— In moving the Ordnance Estimates, Sir H. HARDINCE also look occa- sion to state, that since the year 18* 0, w hen the Duke of Wellington was placed at the head of that depart- ment, u reduction had been effected of £ 230,000, the greater portion of wli- ch had been made, not by any diminution of our force, bin by retrenchments in the civil establishments. One of the items was the reduc- tion of 240 clerks, by which a saving off47,000 anna- ally had been effected. Envoys of the Neutral Powers, and even by M. d'Ottenfels, have been useless. Constantinople now presents but the aspect of one vast camp. Commer- cial affairs are wholly out of the question. All the cargoes of grain have been seized, to provision the capital.— Force has been employed to execute the orders, which enjoin the subjects of the three nations to quit the capital. It is only allowed that ten, or twelve at the most, of those connected with mercantile bouses shall remain, for the purpose of settling accounts." At Smyrna considerable alarm had been created by the news from Constantinople, which had induced the Flanks to make every preparation for removing themselves and their property to a place of safety JPOSTOCRIPT.

The intelligence given ill a former part of this column is confirmed by the arrival of Dispatches from St. Petersburgh, Vienna, and Paris.— The Moniteur contains a translation of the Manifesto or Appeal of the Ottoman Porte, addressed to all the subjects of the Turkish Empire. There is nothing doubtful or measured in this document— it leaves HGTliit. ii" to negotiation— it speaks a language which cannot bo misunderstood — it breathes defiance, and declares war against the Allied Powers. Russia, as was to be expected, is the great object of Turkish abuse and rancour. The Manifesto dwells upon the constant system of Russia, to make war upon the slightest pretexts. England and France are stated to have yielded to her influence. The Battle of ISavarin is viewed as a declaration of war. It speaks of that event in the following terms:— 11 The Ottoman and Egyptian squadrons, having entered the port of Navarin, were there tranquilly waiting the orders- of the Sublime Porte, when the Russian, English, and French fleets, which unex- pectedly entered the same port as friends, began to '' ~ all three together, and all the world knows the " nperial catastrophe which resulted therefrom to the I squadron-. " The three Powers having thus openly broken the Treaties, and declared war, & c." To the demand of the independence of Greece, the Manifesto says, uelther law, reason, policy, nor religion could permit the Porte to subscribe. It confesses that it adopted a tone of forbearance rmly to gain time. Finally, it calls upon all true lYTussulinen to unite as one man, for " this is not like former contests, a politic*! war for provinces and frontiers; the object of the Infidels being to annihilate Islamisni, and to tread the Mahometan nation under foot. This war must be considered purely a religious and national war." [ It will now be seen that the change which has taken place in the British Administration, happy as it is in all aspects, is in nothing so eminently and directly beneficial as in its bearing upon our foreign relations. So soon as " our ancient ally" shall have known that the British Empire is placed under the Government of the Duke of Wellington— of one from whom au ally of his Sovereign has never suffered wrong; and from whom an enetny has never brought away even the advantage of one hour of triumph— he will begin to have different notions of peace and war, from what he might reasonably enough entertain under the Canning or Goderich dynasty. At all events, we have this assurance, that every effort compatible with the national honour, will be made to dissuade the Porte from a suicidal resistance, and that, if contrary to all ex- pectation, it shall compel us to use harsh measures, that England will lose nothing, and Russia gain nothing, by the destruction of the Turkish empire. We mentioned in a former Paper, that the JEtna, Terror, Infernal, and Tartarus bomb- vessels, had been commissioned for the Mediterranean, almost immediately after the Duke of Wellington's acces- sion to office. This is another instance of his Grace's prescient vigilance.] W ALES. MARRIED.

Mr. Jones was a man of considerable literary and poetical talent; he gained, a number of medals for Poems on various sub- jects, particularly the gold medal of the Cymmrodo- rion, on the revival of the Society in 18- 21. He also gained a medal at the last Brecon Eisteddfod, for an Englyn ( a stanza) on ihe Sun. The silver medal of the Gwyneddigion Society was presented to him for his zeal in, promoting Welsh literature, & c. & c. Mr. Jones was universally esteemed by a very nnmerous circle of friends. His maxim was — With my friend I will share what this day will afford, And let him spread the table to- morrow. Mr. Jones wfts a native of Llangollen, in the county of Denbigh, but he had resided in London for many years, excepting during the summer season, which he passed at Dovey Cottage, ivear Machynlleth.

[ From the Birmingham Gazette.'] The perpetrators of this daring robbery succeeded in carrying off 8000 sovereigns and abofrt £ 12,000 in promissory and other notes. They were four in num- ber, and there is no doubt they were regular family men. At the White Lion, Bath, the servant hired a chaise, and placing the trunk containing the property in it, took up his master and two friends at some dis- tance from the inn. They then proceeded on their route, drove into Northleach between eight and nine o'clock on Monday evening, in a chaise and four, and immediately left in the same style for Stow, from whence they proceeded to Shipston- on- Stonr, and thence to Stratford- on- Avoii, where they arrived about one o'clock on Tuesday morning. There they hired another chaise and four without any demur, and pro- ceeded by way of Hockley to Birniirigham. A quarter of a mile before they reached this town, they dis- charged the chaise in the road, and disappeared with their booty, and, we believe, have not since been seen. Two of them were remarkably shabbily dressed, the third a little better, and the fourth had a respect- able appearance. The only luggage they had with them was a small travelling portmanteau, which they suffered no stranger to touch, and which seemed to be pretty weighty. TO BUILDERS. Chapel of Ease, Frankxsell.

Other petitions were also presented praying for a repeal of the late Mult Act, the Receipt Stamp Act, & c.; alter which ihe House went into a Committee on ihe Navy nnd Army Estimates, nnd various sums were voted fur those branches of service There was a good deal of conjecture last night in the House of Commons, as to the object of the Cabinet Council, to which Mr. Peel was called from the House at a late hour. We have heard rumours on the subject to which we dare not advert.— Morning Chronicle, Feb. 2ft. LON DON— SATUH DAY. The Paris papers of Tuesday and Wednesday, received by express, are of the same gloomy com- plexion with tlie German papers, relative to the situation of the affairs of CuDstautinople. The fol- lowing are extracts:— " Constantinople, Jan. 11.— A report was circu- lated yesterday, that Count Capo d'lstria had arrived in the Morea, and had been proclaimed Chief of the Greek Government; and besides, that a new com- bined squadron, comprehending some ships belong- ing to the Netherlands, had reached the Archipelago, and was proceeding to the Dardanelles. This news, which has not been confirmed up to this moment, has induced the Porte to abandon its calm attitude and to adopt measures in n spirit diametrically oppo- site. Orders have been given to close the Bosphorus, and many ships of war have arrived- to reinforce those which were previously at anchor in the canal The merchant ships under European flags have not been able to obtain permission to depart, but condition of abandoning their cargoes. The system of persecution has re- commenced, aud is principally directed against the Armenian Catholics, to whom the Patriarch of that nation, who resides at Con- stantinople, has refused bis protection, because h considers them in Ihe light of heretics.— The Greek banker, Realli, has been executed by order of the Grand Seignior. He was acccused of coining.— A proclamation of the Sultan's, addressed to all the agents and public functionaries, orders a general arming. Preparations are made for a vigorous resistance. A hundred thousand Kourds are at ready in motion, and will arrive in Europe by the end of March. It is also thought that the Pacha of Egypt will obey the order which has been sent to hi in to put a large force on foot, and that he will assist the Poite with all his Power.— On the 28th of December the Grand Seignior caused many Greeks from Scio to be arrested, among whom was the rich Realli, charged w ith being iu communication with the insurgents, and threw them into the prison of Bostaudi Boschi. Fear seized on the richest Greek merchants, who betook themselves to flight; aud one of their number was Danesi, banker to the Russian Embassy, yvho had previously been exiled once from Asia. Suspicion has extended to the Armenians also; they hsve removed thousands of them from Asia. All intercessions— all means taken by the CIJE SALOPIAN ' JOURNAL- WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1828. ANOTHER BANK ROBBERY. IFrom the Cambrian, Swansea Paper, of Saturday.] It is with great pain that we communicate to the public another of those daring and dexterous rob- beries, which have of late but too frequently been committed.— Ou Sunday evening last, the house of ( he respectable Banking- concern of Messrs. Walters, Voss, and Walters, at Swansea, was broken ripen, and cash, notes, and bills, stolen to a large amount. The circumstances of the robbery, and the description of the thieves, as far as can at present . be ascertained, are as follow •— About six o'clock in the evening, as was the custom with Mr. Walters, he and his family went to meeting, having carefully locked the iron chest ( which had a valuable and complicated lock) and the doors of his house. Upon his return, with his son, after an absence of one hour and three quar- ters, he tried the lock of tbe iron closet, and to his great surprise found that the lock was in some re- spect deranged, and the key would not turn. Upon a closer inspection, something like brass was discovered in the key- hole, from which they concluded that the lock was accidentally broken, aud they retired with- out suspicion or further examination. The next morn- ing, about eight o'clock, it became necessary to open the closet for the business of the day, and they found an elastic brass ring in the lock, which had been placed there for the purpose of obstructing tbe key, and preventing the immediate discovery of the closet having been rifled, a stratagem which was but too successful, as it postponed any active measures until the morning, and gave an opportunity to the depre- dators to Convey away the property at their leisure. Inquiry having been made, it was soon found that two persons had called a quarter of an hour before twelve at night, at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, in this town, and ordered a chaise aud pair to go. to Neath, in ten minutes. When they ordered the chaise, they bad no luggage with them ; they went away and returned in live minutes, and the shortest of the two, who assumed the character of a servant, carried a port- manteau, covered with a hairy calf- skin, iu his hand. They remained a few minutes in the house, the one who appeared to be the master iu the travellers' room and the other in the bar, until the chaise was ready, drank a glass of negus each, and the supposed servant directed the waiter to charge the same for his as for his master's, as he had plenty of money to pay for it The master paid his bill, gave sixpence to the waiter, making a display of sovereigns and silver, and both got into the chaise.— These circumstances natura gave rise to suspicions, and enquiries were immedi- ately made as to the characters and conduct of these persons. It turned out that they had resided in or near Swansea for the last three weeks, and conducted themselves in a manner which left scarcely any doubt as to their being the perpetrators of the robbery. I also appeared that they arrived at Swansea, by the mail from Carmarthen, early on the morning of Sun- day, the 27th of January, and slept at the Mackwortli Arms, after which they removed for three days to the Golden Lion, and their subsequent movements to Car marthen and elsewhere, by the activity of our police have been generally traced. One thing is remarkable that they generally slept together, in the same bed and they had a colleague, of whom we at present for bear to mention any particulars.., Mr. Voss, one of the partners in the firm, lost but little time, after ihe robbery was discovered, in fo! lowing the suspected persons iu a chaise and four 7 but as he started many hours after the robbers, there was but little chance of overtaking them on the road. — We have learned with great satisfaction, that he arrived soon enough iu Bristol to prevent the negotia. tionofany of the bills, and in London so as to give the necessary notices to the Banks, and information to The Shropshire Hounds will meet Wednesday, Feb. 27th ( this day) Twemlows Friday, F<- h. 29ih Howtou Castle Monday, March 3d Han wood Wednesday, March 5th ..

LATE BILLIARD ROOM, CLAREMONT UlLL. BY MR.

The Building is 28 Feet long and ' 21 Feet wide, with erect Skylight j and the extra Laud extends from 24 to 28 Feet. Mr. IYI'CRRDTE will shew the Premises; and for further Particulars apply to Mr. JOHN LOXDALE, Solicitor, Shrewsbury ; or Mr. PERRY. Patronised r the Faculty of Cheshire, Shropshire, and North Wales. he Officers at Bow. street, so that the loss will be confined to cash in gold aud silver. The conduct the fellows on the road confirmed the suspicions of their guilt. When they arrived at - Neath, nine miles fioni Swansea, they were joined by two. other men, who had called at the Ship and Castle two hours before, seemed a good deal exhausted, and asked foi brandy and water, which was given them. An addi ditioual chaise was immediately ordered, but as i could not be procured with all the required speed, one of the fellows and the booty were taken into the vehicle which had just arrived, and tjie other rode upon the dickey with the postboy. At P\ le they took a chaise and four; and the one who assumed tl; character of servant drank tw o glasses of brandy an water, and observed that his master was proceeding with witnesses to attend a trial in London, expressing his fears that, they would not arrive in time. He requested a bill, as a voucher from the landlord for the charges* as lie said he must he accountable to his master for the sums expended. They proceeded with all possible expedition to Bristol, and on the other side of the New Passage they took two post- chaises, one of which stopped in Temple- street, and the other in Clare- street; from thence they proceeded in coach to Bath. In the evening, police- officers arrived at the latter city, and having learnt that a post- chaise and four had been hired from a respectable inn by four persons, and that it had taken the road to Tet- bury, the officers, at about twelve o'clock at nigbt, started in pursuit. Several individuals at Swansea have exerted themselves to ihe utmost; an intelligent person proceeded on the route they took, for the express purpose of obtaining an accurate description of the persons of tbe gang, which, together with the inform- ation collected at Swansea, leaves but little doubt that, if they make their appearance in any part of the kingdom, they must be apprehended. By the praiseworthy and indefatigable exertions of L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. Counsellor Sockett, and Col. Cameron, who have been engaged from early in the morning until late at night ever since, the evidence they have collected, and tlie examination of a great many poisons, have furnished them with the most accurate description of the persons of the robbers, which has been transmitted to London, to be placed in the hands of the police officers. We have great hopes, that the active measures which have been adopted, assisted by the hopes of obtaining the reward of £ 100 ottered by the Swansea Society, will he the means of bringing these daring villains to justice.— In the mean time it must be iu some degree consolatory to the members of the very respectable firm, that all their neighbours and nume- rous friends most unfeignedly sympathize in the deplorable loss tbev must inevitably sustain ; although it cannot in the slightest degree aS'ect the unlimited confidence which has been so justly placed in their honour and responsibility. Additional Contributions to the Good Samaritan Society. A Friend, bv Mr. J. Howell, jun £ 0 10 0 A Lady, by Mrs. Ford 0 7 6 On tbe 15th inst. the remains of the late Mr. Shingler, of Alderton, were removed for interment in the family vault at Loppington, to which place they were accompanied by about sixty relatives and friends, many of whom had long experienced tbe value of his friendship, and justly admired the genuine virtues which adorned his heart. A fair criterion may be formed of the high estimation in which he was held in the neighbourhood from the fact that the windows of every poor man's cottage between Alderton and Loppington were closed during the time the procession passed; and a great concourse of people was assembled to w itness the last office of respect to departed worth. Tbe Central Agricultural Committee, which still continues to hold its sittings in Palace- yard, has issued a circular address, dated from Brown's Hotel, entitled " A Memorial to his Majesty's Ministers." After stating that they had learned the intentions of Ministers to propose to Parliament an alteration in the laws regulating the importation and Sale of Foreign Corn, they declare their conviction, that the measure would be ruinous to the cultivators of land, and they trust, should they be called on, to be able to maintain and prove this proposition. They state, that since the subject was discussed last year, a great depreciation had taken place in the value of corn, and declare that they had hoped, instead of any change in the Corn Laws, the Ministers would have devised something, rather for the further security of relief Of the agriculturists. THE COUNTRY BANKERS.— An answer we under- stand has been received from Government by the Committee still a& sembled in London, watching the interests of the Country Bankers, nearly in substance as follows :— 1st. That after due consideration of the Memorial presented to Lord Goderich on the subject of the inequality between the Stamp Duties levied on the Bank of England and Country Bankers, the Ministers are prepared to recommend to Parliament a Bill, placing the Country Bankers precisely on the same footing, both as to Promissory Notes and to Bills of Exchange at ' 21 days, as the Bank of England : that is to say, that. Country Bankers shall be allowed each year to compound for the same upon a fair average of their issues through the year. 2nd. That as in the late interview between the Duke of Wellington and the Country Bankers, the latter were not prepared to suggest any remedy of their alleged aggrievances short of the putting down of Branch Banks, his Majesty's Ministers do not feel themselves justified ( considering the circumstances under which Branch Banks originated, the Par- liamentary sanction they have received, and the short trial of their effects as yet made) to take the step suggested. A collision we imagine therefore must continue between the Bank and the Country Bankers, till the subject comes to be discussed in Parliament, which it must be whenever the Currency Question is agitated. The Bank of England however, w e are assured begins to hesitate; and has actually foregone its intention, of establishing a Branch Bank at Hull; which had been one of its favonrite schemes. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— The King v. John Attivood, Esq. This was an indictment for perjury, assigned upon a bill in Equity, filed by " the British Iron Mining Company" against the defendant. Mr. Attwood, it is known, during the various Joint Stock projections in the year 1825, sold his mining property to the above Company for £ 600,000. The mines not turning out to the expectations of the Directors, they filed, in order if possible to get rid of their bargain, a bill against Mr. Attvvood on the equity side of the Court of Exchequer; and the alleged perjury was assigned in the answer put in to this bill. The pro- ceedings in the King* s Bench commenced on Thursday, before Lord Tenterden and a special jury. Mr. Gurney conducted the case for the prosecution, which occupied the whole of the day, and was re- sumed on the following morning. Having at length closed, Sir James Scarlett addressed the jury in a long and powerful speech, in the course of which he went into a history of the whole transactionsbet ween the company and the defendant from June, 1825, when the first contract was entered into, to the present time. He declared that the indictment had originated in the desire of the company to rescind the contract, and afterwards entered into a review of the evidence for the purpose of showing that none of the assignments of perjury had been sus- tained. Before the learned gentleman had concluded his address, he was stopped by Mr. Gurney, who stated that he should not press the case further, and tbe jury immediately pronounced a verdict of not guilty.

In consiefinence of the continued and, we fearj - rious indisposition of the Duke of Cambridge, Sir William Knighton lately left town ( on Thursday, we believe), for the purpose of inquiring into anil reporting upon the state of his Royal Highness's health, for the information of his Majesty.

RANDOLPH'S OPINION OF THE BATTLR OF NAVARINO.— In a speech delivered by this gentleman in the American Congress, he made the following remarks:—" A spirit," says he, " has lately gone abroad iu England and here— it is raging in England as much as fanaticism did in the time of the Covenant and the Roundheads— it is the spirit of neglecting your own affairs to administer to those of your neighbours— it is the spirit that takes the plodder from the plough to make him a plodder iu the pulpit— which takes tlieShoemakcr from his last, and the mother from her children, to exhibit in a church, which is as much a theatre on these occa- i sions as the grand Opera in Paris or London; — The World has lately been dinned by the reports of the battle of lNavarlno— a battle which . arose out of this spirit of meddling with other people's affairs. The victory is a stain upon the naval glory of all the nations concerned, who h « t( i any glory to lose. With incalculable odds, they defeated, nturdered in cold blood, or killed hand to hand, as brave a set of men as ever fought. What were we to assist the Greeks for' Td build up n nest of pirates in the jEgean, where, when Greece was free, there always was one, even before the days of Agamemnon. The pirates once again or- ganised, it would never be in our power to keep merchants' ships in that halcyon sea against the tow- boats and Corsairs with which it would swarm. He knew he was running against the prejudices of his country ; but what was lie sent there for except to exert himself for the good of the people, and consequently to oppose prejudices?" POST OFFICE ROBBERY.— The Guards of tlid western mails, in passing through Hounslow for London, at a very early hour, are in the habit of throwing the bags for the former place into an open window on the first floor of the Post Office; After they had all passed o; i Tuesday morning, some thieves placed a ladder against the window, and, whilst the Post- mistress was dressing herself, iu order to proceed with her duty, stole 28 of the post- bags thrown in. It is not known what value they contained; fortunately, the Gloucester aud Stroud bags escaped, from a later arrival than the others. The robbery, it S* belitveil, was effected by some of the metropolitan adepts in the art of thievery. The ladder, which they must have brought wilh them, was left against the house ; it is of light make, and made to fold together by a couple of hinges. William Jones, wlio has been some weeks in confinement, charged w ith the. murder of Mrs. Jeffs, in Montague- place, was arraigned on Thursday before Mr. Justice Baylev, and after a trial of up- wards of twelve hours acquitted. The deputation to the Duke of Wellington, on Saturday, was not from the body of Dissenters, but from the Unitarians, to learn from his Grace whether or not their Marriage Bill would be Supported by the Government. It is understood that no decisive answer was returned. MURDER.— As Mr John Dyan, a very respectable farmer residing at Bancroft, near Finuingley, was returning from Doncaster market, on Saturday evening last, he was most inhumanly murdered. The assassins stationed themselves close to a gate leading into a field of Mr. Dyan's through which he must pass to his house, which is only one field's length from the road, and ou his opening the gate he was shot. It is supposed there were two guns fired, as he received a mortal wound in the left breast from a ballj and was severely wounded in the face at the same time with shot. Mrs. Dyan being alarmed at his long absence, sent one of the men to seek him, about half- past two o'clock, on Sunday morning, and on his entering the field leading to ilie turnpike, the first object that presented itself wag his master's horse without its rider. He imme-* diately took the horse home, and informed iMrs. D. who, in a state of mind bordering upon phrenzy, ordered the men to go in search of Mr. Dyan. They proceeded to the gate leading to the turnpike roadj on trying to open which they found some ob- struction. On looking down, horrible to relate, they discovered the body of their master quite cold and stiff. It is supposed from the nature of the wound in the breast that he must have died instantaneously. Suspicion attaches to two men who reside within a short distance of the spot where Mr. Dyan was found. The inquest on the body was to be held yesterday^ and the general opinion in the neighbourhood is, that the murderers will soon be brought to justice. It is supposed that the reason of Mr. Dyan's untimely end is owing to his having rendered himself obnoxious to many of the lower class in his neighbourhood, on account of his havin ^ been rather tenacious of the game on his land. It is obvious that plunder was not the object the ruffians had in view, as his money, & c. were all found safe in his possession.— Sheffield Iris. ROBBERY AT CHRIST CHURCH COLLEGE, OXFORD.— On the 16th inst. the Treasury of this College was broken into, and Rank of England notes, from £ 50 to £ 5, together with several £ 10 notes of the Oxford Bank of Messrs. Cox and Co. to a considerable amount, aud a large quantity of plate of great value, were stolen therefrom. Soms of the Bank of England notes were of a very old date, being filled up iu the name of Abraham Newland; and among the various articles of plate carriedotf', was a beautiful baptismal silver- gilt cup, with the Christ Church arms engraved on it, and a quantity of knives, forks, spoons, & c. all having ou them a crest of a demi- Iiou rampant bearing a staff with three crosses. Upon application at the Bank of England, it was found that the notes had been already paid in and changed for gold, A reward of £ 100 is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the thieves, and a similar reward on recovery of the property, or iu proportion fur any part thereof. s.

Description of the Cessation of a Storm. 44 List! now the cradled winds liave hush'd their poarr And infant waves curl pouting- to the shore, While drench'd earth seems to wake up fresh and* clear,- ] ike hope just risen from the gloom of fear,— And the bright dew- head on the bramble lies-, l ike liquid rapture upon beauty's eyes,— How heavenly ' tis to lake the pensive range, And mark ' tween storm and eal'tfi the lovely change! . First comes the Sun, unveiling half his face, like a coy virgin, with reluctant grace, While dark clouds, skirted with his slanting ray, Roll, one by one, in azure depths away,— Till pearly shapes, like molten billows, lie Along the tinted bosom of the skv : Next, breezes swell forth with harnionfous charm, Panting and wild, like children of the storm! Now sipping flowers, now making blossoms shake, Or weaving ripples on the grass- green lake ; And thus the tempest dies — and bright, and still,- The rainbow drops upon the distant hill." The Last Dread Scene. c< O say, what Fancy, though endowed sublime, Can picture truly that tremendous time, When the last sun shall blaze upon the sea, And earth be dash'd into eternity ! A cloudy man lie will enwrap that sun, Whose face so many worlds have gazed upon ! The placid moon, beneath whose pensive beam We all have loved to wander and to dream, D\ ed into blooa, shall glare from pole lo pole, And light the airy tempests as they roll ! And those sweet stars, thai, like familiar eyes, Are wont to smile a welcome from the skies, Thick as the hail- drops, from their depths will hound, And far terrific meteors flash around !•— Pnl while the skies are shattered by the war Of planet, moon, rent cloud, and down- shot star,— Stupendous wreck below t— a burning world ! As if the flames- of hell were on the winds unfurlM !" The Resurrection. " Hark ! from the deep of heaven, a trumpet sound Thunders the uui verse around; From north to south,, from east to west, it rolls, A blast that summons all created souls ! And swift as ripples rise upon the deep, The dead awaken from their dismal sleep : The sea has heard it !— coiling up with dread, Myriads of mortals flash from out her bed : The graves fly open, and, with awful strife, The dust of ages startles into life ! **•## » Audio! the living liarvest of the earth, Reap'd from the grave to share a second birth ; Millions of eves, willi one deep dreadful stare, Gaze upward through the burning realms of air ; While shapes, and shrouds, and ghastly features gleam, Like lurid snow- flakes iu the moonlight- beam." Hints for Letter Writing. The late excellent Lord Collingwood, in one of his Tetters dated off Cadiz, gives his daughter, the Hon. Mi.- s Collingwood, ihe following judicious advice on the subject of letter writing :— I received your letter, my dearest child, and it made me very happy to find that you and dear Mary were well, and taking pains with your education The greatest pleasure I have in the midst of mv tori's and troubles is the expectation which I entertain of finding yon improved in knowledge; and that the understanding which it has pleased God to give you both, has been cultivated with care and assiduity. Your future happiness and respectability in the world depend on the diligence with which yon apply yourself to the attain- ment of knowledge at this period of your life; and I hope that no negligence of your own will be a bar to yonr progress. When I write to you, my beloved child, so much interested am I that yon should be serviceable and worthy of the friendship and esteem of good and v\ ise people, that I cannot forbear to second and enforce the instruction w hich you receive, by admonition of my own — pointing out to you the great advantages that will result from a temperance and sweetness of conduct to all people, and on all occasions. It does not follow that von are to coincide and agree in every ill- judging peison; but, after showing them your reasons for dissenting- from their opinion, your argu- ment and opposition to it should not be tinctured by anything offensive. Never forget for one moment thai you are a gentlewoman, and all your words and actions should mark you gentle. I never knew your mother, your dear, yonr good mother, say a harsh or hasty thing to any person in my life. Endeavour to imitate her. I r> tv> . juick ami Uutiy in n » v temper; my sensibility is touched' sometimes by a trifle and my expression sudden as gunpowder; but, my darling, it is a mis- fortune which, not having been sufficiently restrained iu youth, has caused many much pain. It has, indeed, given me more trouble to subdue this natural im- petuosity than anything I ever undertook. I believe that you are both mild ; but if ever yon feel in vonr little breasts that you inherit a particle of your father's infirmity, restrain it, and quit the subject that has caused it until your sereuitv he recovered. So much for mind and manners. Next for accomplishments. No sportsman ever hits a partridge without aiming at it, and skill is acquired by repented attempts. It is the same thing in every art ; unless you aim at perfection yon will never attain it. But frequent attempts will' make it easy. Never, therefore, do anything with indifference. Whether it be to mind a rent in your garment, or finish the most delicate piece of art, endeavour to do it as perfectly as it is possible. When you write a letter give it your greatest care that it may- be as perfect in all its parts as > 011 can make it. Let the subject be sense, expressed in the most plain, in- telligible, and elegant manner that you are capable of. If, in a familiar mood, you he playful and jocular, guard carefully that your wit he not so sharp as to give pain to any person; and before you write a sentence examine over the words of which it is composed, that there be nothing vulgar or inelegant in them. He- member, my dear, that your letter is a picture of yonr brains ; and those whose brains are a compound of folly, nonesense, and impertinence, are to blame to exhibit them to the contempt of the world, or the pity of their friend. To write a letter with negligence, without proper st<- ps, and crooked lines, and great flourishing dashes, is inelegant. It argues either great ignorance of what is proper, or great indifference towards the person to whom it is addressee, and i consequently, disrespectful. It makes no amends to add an apology for having scrawled a sheet of paper, of bad pens, for you should mend them ; or of want of time, for nothing is of more importance to yon, or tn which your time can be more properly devoted. I think 1 can know the character of a lady by her hand- writing. The dasheis are all impudent, however they may corneal it from themselves and others; and the scribblers flatter themselves with vain hopes, that as the letter cannot be read, it may be mistaken for sense. I am very anxious lo come to England, for I have lately been unwell. The greatest happiness which I expect there is, to find that my dear girls have been assiduous in theii learning. May God Almighty bless you, my beloved little Sarah, and sweet little Mary ioo." A General Meefi'ng of the Managing Committee of the Maltsters' Association was held on Monday at the Hull Inn, in fiishopsgaie- street, CRISP BROWN, of Norwich,- Esq. iu the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that this was an adjourned Meeting of the Managing Committee, and he had the pleasure to inform them that petitions had been pre- pared in every part of the kingdom against the $ lalt » lers' Act, and would be presented to the Legisla- ture without delay. These petitions Would speak the sentiments of I lie body at large, and would be of incal- culable service to their interests at this crisis. It was impossible to carry on the business of a maltster at present without being liable to great penalties and risks. Would it be believed, that from the time of receiving the barley from the grower to its being made into malt, that the maltsters were liable to £ TI3, o() 0 in penalties under the Act as it stood at present? Notwithstanding these penalties the malt- sters were restricted to that degree, that they were not permitted to manufacture their own malt according to tin irown skill and judgment. This was a great hard- ship upon their body, and it shoftld be their duty to have those iojniions enactments repealed. One in- stance of their injurious tendency he should mention to the Committee. The maltsters of Norfolk, Suffolk, Herts, and Essex, and other places in that neighbour- hood, were not in the habit of sprinkling their malt.— In some cases sprinkling was indispensable; now the restriction extended to 12 days. It was well known that the vegetative power, if extended to 12 days, would render the benefit to be received too languid ; hut if the permission extended only to seven or eight davs, when the vegetative power began to require assistance from the water, then il would be of great benefit, particularly to the northern counties. In the course of the last week, he recei ved an important docu ment from an Hon. Member of the House of Commons — it was a document which had been called for in the last Session of Parliament on the subject of the Excise information's. It was an account of the informations heard before the Court of Exchequer, between th years 182f and 1826, for breaches of the Excise Laws in England and Wales, stating the name and residence of every person prosecuted for offences against the Malt Act, as extracted from the reports of the Hoard of Excise, ordered on the 16th of February, 1827. H went over the items in that account, and it appeared that, between Hilary Term, 1821, and Trinity Term, 1826,- out of 789 informations filed in the Exchequer for penalties under the Excise Laws, there were only 72 respecting malt ; and amongst those so accused, five- were acquitted, and eighteen were not maltsters, but unlicensed persons, accused of making malt pri- vately; of the remainder, seventeen Were men carry- ing on a very small business, who had neither property nor character to lose, and from whom only £ 169. 10s. 7d. had been received. From a return made to the House of Commons, in 1823, it appeared that there were 9,621 licensed maltsters in England and Wales, who paid to Government between three and four millions of money annually, for their duties on malt. The convictions, therefore, of licensed maltsters, carrying on a business for five years, so extensive, and so beneficial to the agriculture and revenue of the country, amounted annually, upon an average, only to one in every thou- sand. When he held a conference with Mr. Carr, the solicitor of the Excise, on the 19th of June last, whilst the Malt Bill was passing through the Parliament, lie made several obji clions to the clauses of that Bill, and submitted that the clauses would be inoperative. He ( the Chairman) put a question to Mr. Carr respecting the clause charging the duty by the guage 011 the malt at 96 hours, deducting only one- third, and Mr. C. replied that that clause was necessary, on account of the frauds committed upon the Revenue by persons privately wetting- the bailey, and afterwards mixing it with the young floors before the expiration of the 96 hours, to which he ( the Chairman) replied that a third would not be sufficient, unless the Government could legislate that the atmosphere should be always the same - Mr. Carr then told him that if the clause should be found inoperative he would recommend to have it altered. The solicitor of the Excise reported that only one in every thousand had been convicted in the Court of Exchequer, and it was remarkable that not one conviction was had at this early period. It was then observed that perhaps there « ere convictions before the Magistrates upon that subject. Now he ( the Chairman) would suggest that some Hon. Member should move, in his place in Parliament, that an account he lakl before that. House of all convictions heard before the Magistrates under the Excise Laws, and then they should see whether or not the statement of Mr. Carr had been borne out. The maltsters of Eng- land were willing to pay the full and fair anfount of the duty to which they were liable, and they ought not to be impeded by unnecessary restrictions. Let the fraudulent maltster be visited by heavy fine and im- prisonment, but let the honest maltster be secured in his property. He alluded to punishment by imprison- ment, because the wealthy maltster would not be so much deterred by a fine as by imprisonment. The Act of the Legislature should be levelled particularly at the fraudulent maltster. A Maltster said the fraudulent trader would be effectually punished by the Legislature. Another Maltster referred to the practice under the Customs' Laws, w here the defaulter, w ho was unable to pay 1 he penalty, was sent on board a man of war for five years. The CHAIUMAN observed, that the suggestion which be had made met with the approbation of the maltsters in Bristol and elsewhere, that the fraudulent maltster should he severely fined and imprisoned. To subject a maltster to those heavy penalties, absolute fraud should be proved. In looking over the list of convictions which he held in his hand, there was one conviction for fraud, and the penalty was £ 200; and that penalty was thus disposed of:— For the Solicitor of the Excise ( Mr. Carr) „,?° 8ts £ 14f> 15 0 Witnesses, Officers, and county expenses... 38 19 8 The informer 7 \ 2 8 To the Crown's credit 7 12 8 delay. He hoped that some Hon. Member of the House of Commons would move for a Select Committee to ntfuire inter the state of the laws now irt force for the regulation of the malt trade. Such a Committee would sift the matter to the bottom, and in their hands had no doubt they wort Id obtain relief. The rights of the maltsters would he protected, and the revenue of CroVvn would be maintained. Witnesses would there be examined oft each side without intimidation* and the truth would be elicited. The Crown would have the opportunity of examining Such individual as should be most li'kefy to give the most favourable tes- timony on its behalf, and at the same time, the malt- sters would have the opportunity of Cross- examining those witnesses, and'vice versa. It was impossible that they ( the maltsters) could carry on their business with any degree of success under the present Act, and the trade would have been completely at a stand but for the interference of the Treasury, who suspended the opera- tion of the Act until the meeting of Parliament. If that relief had not been afforded, the revenue of the country would have been materially injured, as well as the interests of the maltsters and the landed interest. If the maltsters had been permitted to commence malting in September, the prices to the agriculturist would have been increased, and the Treasury would have had £ 300,000 more revenue than they have now in conse- quence of the restriction of the Biii. It was clear, then, that the landed interest and the fair and honest maltster were united as links in the same chain. With these observations, the Chairman called upon the Committee, and the trade in general, to co- operate and be firm in maintaining their rights, and to carry their grievances before the great Tribunal of the country — the Parliament, where they would be sure to obtain redress. Mr. FORD ( the Secretary) said he received communi- cations from several parts of the country, requesting to be informed what plans the Association intended to adopt, with the view of obtaining a repeal of the ob. noxious clauses in the Malt Act. He thought it his duty to inform them that, the Committee had not yet decided upon any plan ; that in fact any plan would be premature before the subject came fully before the Parliament, and he recommended that the opeiations of the Association should be at present confined to the getting up of petitions in every part of the country, complaining of the grievances under which they la- boured, and praying the Legislature to interpose its authority on their behalf. Several gentlemen having delivered their sentiments upon ibis subject, recommending unanimity and perse- verance, and at the same time great caution in main- taining the rights of nine thousand individuals of such respectability and importance as the maltsters were in the country, and the question of adjournment having been moved, The CHAIRMAN said he had procured the model of a malt- bouse, which he intended to lay before the Committee for their inspection. By referring to this model, it would appear that the Cramers of the Act knew very little about the process of malting, or of the interior of a malt- house. In the event of a Par- liamentary Committee being appointed, it would be of importance to lay this model before them. He ascer- tained, upon inquiry, that in whole districts not one malt- house could conform to the letter of the Act. It was well known that the malt- houses throughout the kingdom cost a vast sum of mon^- rn- ffvp'erection,- and, upon a calculation^ it appeared that the real property sunk in those establishments exceeded four millions of money, and as the greater part of these malt- houses must be altered at a considerable expense to conform to the present Act, it was, therefore, material to have its enactments reconsidered. Mr. FORD, alluding to the law expenses of Mr. Carr, in the return alluded lo by the Chairman, said that the convictions amounted to abont £ 13,000, out of which Mr. Carr received for law costs about £ 4,170. Officers and expenses £ 1,700. Informer £ 3,565 ; and the King £ 3,565. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Managing Committee adjourned to a future day. of Ireland, especially when he remembered that the 1 Noble Lord's opposite, during the nine months they were in office, never brought forward any measure on the subject, nor could find in that space any convenient season for doing so; though clothed with the outward and visible sign of power, they did not dare to stir the question; yet, ten days after his Noble Friend had entered office, those Noble Lords had the modesty to ask him whether he had not a' 11 intention of proposing some measure of relief fii'r the Catholics— but that question had clearly beCri asked with a view to obtain an answer that should Excite dissatisfaction in I refund. While on this subject he would express his hope, that some measure wotfld be introduced this Session, which might put an end to the Continued existence of that body, the Catholic Association. It was known to their Lordships that the Catholic Rent was being collected to the amount of £ 600 weekly. The Catholics fancied that by these proceedings in Ireland, their great object, emancipation, was to be gained— but they were in erior— it was here, in England, emancipation was to be effected, by concession and conciliation, and libt by violence or intimidation in Ireland, as he should be able to show more particularly on a future'occasion. Lord GODERJCB, alluding to what had been said in the House of Commons on the preceding evening, repelled the imputation of his having gone to the King with covert intentions to overthrow the late adminis- tration. His Lordship repeated what he had formerly stated, that the dissensions in regard to the financial committee were the real immediate caase of the disso- lution. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. A number of petitions, praying for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, were presented ; among which was one from Minsterley, in Shropshire, presented by Mr Slaney, and another from Greasley, in Nottinghamshire, presented by the same gentleman. Mr. R. GORDON, after a very impressive speech, which was followed bv some humane and forcible observations upon the subject by Mr. PEEL, obtained leave to bring in a bill to consolidate the laws relating to lunatics, and facilitate the erection of lunatic asylums. The Bill introduced by Mr. WOI. RYCHE WHITMORB, for regulating the Salmon Fishery, was read si second time. of using all vigilance to guard against fraud and « Lord Cochrane, in order to explain the real circumvention in matters of this kind— the Court object of his return to England, has addressed the felt that it could not safely pronounce in favour of following letter to the Editor of an Evening The Duke of Wellington, imperial parliament* 200 0 0 Since he ( the Chairman) arrived iu this city this day, he met a gentleman whose name appeared in the return already alluded to, and who was fined for " illegally watering." This gentleman told him that the informa- tion in that case had been, in the first instance, brought before two Magistrates, w ho, on the hearing, dismissed it in favour of the maltster; but the officer of the Excise was not satisfied at the Magistrates' decision, and the case was taken immediately into the Ex- chequer. The maltster was quite alarmed at this proceeding, and went to his solicitor and told him that he was quite innocent of the charge, but that he would rather pay any penalty than go into the Exchequer.— His feelings, his peace of mind, were considerably affected, and he requested his solicitor to consent to any thing rather than go to law. The result was that the matter was compromised for £ 90, instead of £ 2(' 0. The money was of course paid iu due time, anil out of this £ 90, for illegally watering com, the following return was made : — To Mi.

She was daughter of Augustus, Earl of Berkeley, born on the 17th day of December, 1750, and married, first, William Earl Craven, grandfather of the present earl, by whom she had several children ; she married secondly at Lisbon, his Serene Highness Alexander Augustus, Margravine of Auspach ami Bareilh, whom she survived, but by whom she had no issue. Her illness was short, and her decay entirely exempt from suffering. Her remains were interred, according to the desire she had expressed, in the English Protestant burial ground at Naples, and were attended to the grave by her son. the Hon. R. Keppel Craven, his Grace the Duke of Buckingham ( her ne- phew), the members of his Britannic Majesty's Mission and Consulate, the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, apd a long train of distinguished personages, both English and Neapolitan, who were anxious to pay this last tribute of respect to her memory. The unostenta- tious munificence of her mode of living, and the employment she hail so long afforded to numerous poor, have caused her loss to be deeply felt by many. The disposition of her property, we understand to be as follows :— With the exception of provision for her servants, and some trifling bequests, the whole of her property in England is left to her third son, the Hon. R. K. Craven, with a reversion in the landed estate in Berkshire to her nephew, Sir George Berkeley, Bu t. K. C. B. Her house and properly at Naples, together with her villa situated on the Strada Nuova, the ground of which was given to her by the late King of Naples, and the Villa Strozza, at Rome, are likewise secured lo her third son. The Corporation of Liverpool has voted a purse of 120 guineas, with 30 guineas to the second horse, to be run for at the next ensuing Liverpool races. 90 0 0 Having stated these facts, the Chairman requested the attention of the Meeting to the observation which these two cases suggested. Here was a case for absolute fraud, and a minor one for illegally watering. In the first case, which was for absolute fraud, the informer received a sum of £ 7. 12s. 8d.; while iu the other case of illegally watering, the informer received £ 29. 14s. l* d. being about four times more for a minor offence than for an absolute fraud. This was very glaring, and called for the interposition of the Legislature.— He should now recommend to the Committee that petitions should be forwarded from all parts of England, and that they should be presented to Parliament without HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. Lord NORMANBY, in an eloquent speech, stated the disappointment generally felt by the House, in conse- quence of no explanation having been given by Mr Hnskisson and Mr. Merries, 011 the subject of their dispute in the last Administration, adding, that the country felt it had strong claims to hare such a state- ment publicly made. Mr. HUSKISSON, in an address of great length, reviewed the circumstances connected with the disso- lution of the late Administration, and the formation of the present; but nothing was elicited which could form any important addition to the facts already before the public. On one point, however, Mr. Hnskisson explained, namely, that when, in speaking of guarantees for the policy of the new Administration, he was understood to have meant verbal or written declarations of the line of policy to be pursued, he merely meant thai species of guarantee which was afforded by the known character and avowed opinions of those with whom he bad consented to take office. As regarded the dissolution of the late Administration, it appeared, by the Right Hon. Member's own statement, to have been the result of the difference between himself and Mr. Herries, as to the constitution of the Finance Committee, the circumstances of which are already before the public.-— Mr. Iluskisson produced a letter from the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, of Liverpool, in" eonfirma- tion. of the statement he had made on the subject of the guarantees alluded to by liiui in his address to h constituents at Liverpool. Mr. HERRIES, iu referring to the circumstances detailed by Mr. Huskisson, as to the formation of th Finance Committee, and which led to his tender of resigning his office, said that resignation was proposed in the most friendly feeling, and intimated that Lord Goderieh had caught at the circumstance, for the purpose of breaking up his own Administration, instead of endervouriug to reconcile the difference's. Mr. TIERNKY, with his usual talent and tact, urged that there was nothing in his conduct towards Mr. Herries, that ought Jo have produced the results that had flowed from what appeared to him so trifling occurrence : and distinctly repelled the idea that any underhand influence or management had been adopted by him or those with whom he acted in the trans- action. Sir GEORGE WARRF. NDER, Lord MILTON, and Lord MORPETH, after what they had heard that night, were of opinion that there were now no sufficient grounds for believing that the policy of the late Cabinet would be pursued by the New Administration. Mr. LITTLETON thought Mr. Huskisson's explanation was clear and satisfactory. Mr. DUNOOMBR said there was still some explanation wanting as to the secret influence existing in the administration of public affairs, and which existed distinct from the Cabinet : he meant the Jew whose purse was predominant in all Cabinets, and the Physician who& e prescriptions operated here ou all public patronage ( Much laughter J. Mr. PEEL denied that any such secret influence existed.— He said, 1 lie last Cabinet was dissolved by its own dissensions ; and he had his Majesty's own authority for that statement. Mr. BROUGHAM characterised the present discussion as ludicrously trifling ; and charged Mr. Herries with having been privy to a design for breaking Up the late Cabinet. [ No allusion to the intention of introducing Lord Holland into the late Cabinet was made during the debate.] HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in presenting a petition from the Roman Catholics of the County and City of Londonderry, praying Emancipation, said he would not, 011 that occasion, take up the time of the House by a discussion of the general question, but lie could not help stating the surprise he felt on a former night, 011 hearing his Noble and Illustrious Friend at the head of the Ministry asked whether it was his intention to bring forward any measure of relief for the Catholics In moving the appointment of a Finance Commit- tee, as announced in our last Journal, Mr. Peel made the following important observations:— " I trust I have said enough to shew in what spirit this Committee has been proposed, and lo convince the House that it proceeds, on the part of His Majes- ty's Government, from a sincere desire to meet fairly and fully Parliament and the country, upon a subject of such vital importance. I know that, from a person in my situation, professions of economy are suspected as things of course, and as intended to mislead. But I slate earnestly and confidently to the House, that there is, on the part of the present Administration, in taking the affairs of Ihis country under its guid- ance, a resolute determination to cffect all possible economy in the public expenditure. A11 Honourable Gentleman, the other nighl, declared as his opinion, that, whatever was the disposition of the Government, it was still over- ruled by an external influence, which rendered it imperative lo maintain large establish- ments to satiate that influence. To this, Sir, speak- ing from experience in the business of Government, 1 give an unqualified denial. What I now wish is, that there should be one general and effectual controul over all the establishments of the country; and I believe that the Noble Individual ( the Duke of Wel- lington) at present at the head of the highest depart- ment 111 the country, has both the disposition and ihe power to exercise a greater and more efficient controul all the subordinate establishments, than any other person in the country. I wish lo avoid inlro. duciog any thing like a political and party feeling inlo Ihe consideration of a matter of this importance I only mention the name of that Noble Person upon his occasion, because I consider him more capable than any other individual of efficiently exercising that necessary controul so indispensable lo the well- being of the country. I say this, because, in ihe various civil offices he has filled, there can be no one who has not seen, both in the Ordnance and other departments heretofore under his direction, the most anxious desire 011 his part to introduce every retrenchment and every degree of economy compatible with Ihe interests of the country. I am sure that Noble Indi- vidual sees no cause to despond, although he has the desire lo look fairly into Ihe financial state of the country, and has the warmest wish that every possible reduction should be made. I know that these are his wishes, but only under ihe strict and imperative obligation of maintaining to Ihe letter, and to its utmost point, ihe national faith with the public creditor, which he is fully assured means are lo be found for in Ihe resources of the country, and upon which account he feels that there is not the slightest cause for the least despondency. And I say Ibis because I believe so loo, and am so far from believing otherwise, thai, on Ihe contrary, I come forward lo make Ihis unreserved declaration of the fact, without any apprehension of Ihe possibility of contradiction. I believe if it were necessary at ihis moment to appeal to the resources, and rouse the dormant ener- gies of ( he country, in that way in which they can always be roused, either to vindicate the national honour or lo maintain her essential interests, that there never was a lime when she could put forih mightier exertions, founded on Ihe unimpaired re- sources of her financial interests, and the matchless energy, for which these countries have ever been dis- tinguished." the codicil. It therefore pronounced against it with costs; but as to them, Sir Harford Jones had not pressed the point, and therefore the Court would say nothing. ffctieccUaiuoits $ ntclligcncf. Lord Filzroy Somerset, as Military Secretary to General Lord Hill, went through his list un Tuesday, at his Oil] re in the Horse Guards. The King has directed Letters Patent to be passed tinder the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom to Ihe following gentlemen respectively:— Francis Freeling, Esq. of Ihe General Post Office; Joseph De Courcy Lnffan, M. D. of Cobhain, Kent, Physician to His Majesty's Forces; and Patrick Macgregor, F. sq Serjeant Sur- geon to His Majesty, and Personal Surgeon to the late Duke of Yot k.— Gazette. It is reported that there is something wrong among some of ihe officers of Ihe Treasury. The Duke of Wellington, it is said, ivent to his office the other day, and inquired for several gentlemen, who were all found lo lie absent; upon which his Grace observed, that he was glad lofiiid that there was so little business lo be done ; it would give him an opportunity of re tienehing ihe expenses of that department.— Morn- ing Herald. We understand from a Correspondent that many of those who belong to the Treasury establishment seldom visit the Treasury till two or three in Ihe afternoon; and that when they go there it is princi- pally for Ihe purpose of reading the newspapers, and talking the small chat of Ihe day, in which business they consume about an hour, sign a document or two, depart lo their country seals to dinner, and call quarterly for their allowances. But Ihe Duke says, there actually is nothing for a great many of them to do. We understand that the Duke sadly tormented the people at the Ordnance, when he was Master- General, heating up their quarters in the morning, at an early hour, upon the same principle as Peter the Great of Russia had used to do with respect to his Ministers— at least so said Voltaire.— English Chronicle.

Sir John Nicholl gave sentence in this testament- ary cause to- day. The paper in dispute was a codicil to the will of a lady who was a relation of Sir Harford's, and the question of the validity of this paper necessarily depended on the degree of credit to be attached to the evidence of the attesting witnesses. But this was a matter dependent on the consideration of so many circumstances, that the. Court was obliged to go through a review of the whole evidence ( which it did, accordingly, in most elaborate judgment, that occupied three hours in the delivery). The deceased had died at the advanced age of seventy- two, leaving behind her personal property to the value of £ 50,000 or £ 60,000, besides a real estate. She resided at Hanbrook- grove, near Bristol. In 1823 she exe- cuted a will, whereby she gave the Hanbrook estate, and others, to Sir Harford Jones, in con- sideration of his taking* the name of Brydges, and also a specific legacy of £ 35,000 stock, and also appointed him residuary legatee. The first of the two codicils, subsequently executed, was dated in April, 1825— it revoked some of the larger be- quests contained in the will : jbut did not materially affect the interests of Sir Harford Jones himself. It was the second codicil, however, or alleged second codicil, that was the subject of the present suit; and this was prepared and executed on the 25th of January, 1826, within ten days of her death. By it she left £ 10,000 to Miss Sarah King, her companion ; £ 1,500 to her man- servant Gay ; £ 1,000 to her apothecary, and several smaller legacies to the brother and sister of Miss King, and to the servants. She also revoked the specific legacy to Sir Harford of £ 35,000 stock, and left him £ 20,000 instead. The Court thought such a disposition of property improbable, with reference to the character of testatrix, alarming as to its amount, and attended with circumstances calculated to excite suspicion. Then, as to the capacity of deceased, her physical capabilities must have been undoubtedly much im paired at the date of this second paper.— She had been for some time confined to her room and her bed by a severe visceral complaint; she was le- thargic, and subject to stupor. In commenting upon the various evidence adduced in the cause, the Court I remarked on the questionable character which the transaction had assumed, from the fact of Sir Harford Jones and Mr. Russell, her confidential advisers, having been refused admittance to her about this time; and from the absence of any material witness not interested in supporting the codicil— to the factum of that instrument, and to capacity. There was, indeed, Mr. Baker, her medical attendant; but he deposed to her inca- pacity. On the othar hand, the drawer of the codicil was Mr. James King, the brother of Miss King ; and he and Miss Cunningham, a friend of Miss King's, were the attesting witnesses to it. Now the Court could not persuade itself to believe the evidence given by these parties— there was much clandestinity about the circumstances, and no confirmatory facts not liable to suspicion, to rebut this presumption of clandestinity. Looking, there- fore, to all the circumstances of the case— of the preparation of the instrument, the condition of the deceased, and the necessity recognized by the law Calcutta papers have arrived in town to the 28th of September, and from Bombay to the 7th of October. By the latter it appears that the force detached from the army of Bombay continues its march against the Khota Rajah, who was already in the field with a force, according to report, of 30,000 men. OXFORD, FEB. 15.— In a Convocation holden on Thursday last the thanks of the University were voted to the Right Honourable Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, for the liberal mark of his attention in offering a Writership, belonging to his patronage in the Honourable East India Company's Service, as a Prize for competition among the junior Members of the University; and at the same time it was agreed that his offer of the Writership be accepted. A short time ago, as one of the coaches between Ihis town and London was proceeding on its way, during a very dark night, along where the road is carried over a boggy piece of ground, the driver and the outside passengers saw a light before them, which Coachee declared lo be the lamp of a carriage about lo meet them; at the same time manifesting not a little chagrin that his brother whip did not better know his own side of the road; he himself, however, pulled to ihe right, until the soil bewail to sink, and Ihe vehicle came iu contact with a sturdy post, which suggested at once to Phaeton and his colleagues on ihe roof that, instead of standing off for " Gurney's steam carriage," or even a " Gas coach," they were pursu- ing, four- in hand, a more ancient gas and steam operator; lo wit, that renowned misleader, Jack o'Lantern ! who, having steppe^ from his dormitory in the adjacent quagmire, politely went dancing before them wilh his link, to Ibe great entertainment of Ihe passengers,- many of whom had never seen this far- famed English apparition, the subject of many stories, and the terror of our forefathers; but whose pranks, in consequence of the general drainage of ihe country, have been of late extremely uncommon.— Sheffield Iris. An eminent London merchant, of whom it has been frequently remarked that " all he touches turns lo gold," lately recovered a lost diamond bracelet, worth £ 500, iu a manner quite iu accordance with his usual good fortune. His lady, who . had worn it al the Opera, dropped it from her arm in leaving Ihe Theatre, and the bracelet being of so great value, her husband considered it hopeless lo attempt lo recover it by advertisement. On the ensuing Opera night, the sister of the lady in question visited the Theatre, and also lost her bracelet, b ut of much inferior value. The second bracelet was advertised, and 011 the fol- lowing morning appeared, not that which was adver- tised, but the diamond bracelet, which had been picked up by a private soldier who was on duly at the Opera house. It need not be added, that'the finder mei wilh a more liberal reward fur his trouble than he had anticipated. It gives us great pleasure to learn that the Duke of Wellington is as much disliked by some of the Clerks in some of the Government Offices, as he was disliked by some of the Clerks in the War- Office. His Grace is beating up Ihequarteis of some of those who have been receiving large salaries, while they, have been doing little or no business. We are much mistaken if the Duke will not be found one of the most efficient First Lords of Ihe Treasury that England has had for many years. His Grace, we hear, intends lo be as slrict a disciplinarian wilh respect to Clerks, as he was wilh respect lo Officers and Men in the Army. That he will be hated by the Clerks 110 one call doubt ; but that the people of England will like him for doing his duty, in this branch of Ihe public business, there can not also be any doubt. Some of the Clerks, we understand, have been in Ihe habit of attending only half an hour in the four and twenty, and sometimes they do not allend al all. Il is a question, however, il Ibe Duke does not liud Ihe Clerks lougher customers lo deal with than Bonaparte's Generals, or Bonaparte himself— Morning Herald. On Friday evening, a person travelling on the Ross i- oad, met Page' s Gloucester waggon to Hereford, a short distance beyond the Callow, near the latter place, without a driver ; and suspecting something wrong, he immediately stopped the horses, and procured assistance from the public- house at the Callow. On searching some way along the road, they found the trusty waggoner and two men, so completely intoxicated that they could not stand. On investigation, it appeared they had bored a hole in a cask of gin in the waggon, and drawn oft'about five gallons, part of whicli they had bottled, and placed the bottles iu a hedge, where they were found, wilh a quantity of cheese, also stolen from the waggon. The three marauders, whose names are John Greening, John Wat kins, and Colward Machey, ( the two former from Glou- cester,) were committed to Hereford Gaol. THE LATE SIR THOMAS PICTON.— Let me again pause a moment in my narrative lo draw another portrait, differing somewhat from thai I have already given you of Sir Rowland Hill. Do you observe, in a group, at a short distance 011 the left, a tall upright figure of a man, sealed 011 a strong, bald, faced, wall eyed, chcsnul horse ! He is dressed in a plain blue surlout, rather ancient and threadbare, and, above a countenance which, besides being naturally, hard- featured, it is abundantly evident has not, on ( his morning, at least, to say nothing of Ihe preceding, undergone the operation of shaving, he wears a cocked hat, embrowned by the sun, and without a feather. There is a cloak before him strapped lo his saddle- bow ; and slung across his shoulder, he wears a prospect. glass in a leather case. There is ( he true military air for you. See how upright he sits iu his saddle! Were Ihe muzzle of one of the enemy's cannon within a yard of him, that man, you mav swear il, would not stir an inch. Now, what do you take him for, my good aunt ? An adjutant of the old school, perhaps; one who, in taking a commission, becomes likewise invested with the brevet rank of gentleman, and who slill retains, amid the novel dig- nities of his recent promotion, the air and manner of a Serjeant ? No, Ibis guess will not do; nor if you take him for a brigade major, or a commissary, or a provost marshal, will you be much nearer the mark. Look at him again, ami you will observe » n air of dig- nity about him— an occasional attitude of command which must knock even Ihe possibility of Ihe truth of your conjectures al once 011 the head. But 1 will puzzle you no longer: the man yon observe is no oilier tha 11 Sir Thomas Piclon ; and now you know him, you will gaze on him, 1 Ihiuk, wilh more interest than foimcrly.— Accqunt of the Battle of Vittoria, J Paper:— u Sir,— Having observed in the newspapers various groundless conjectures regarding the motives of mf arrival in this country, I have judged it proper, as it can be of no detriment to the cause of humanity, to state for public information, that an anxious desire to obtain the means of suppressing piracy, committed by numerous row- boats which infest the Archipelago, is now the chief object of Greece, in return for the goocf offices rendered by the Neutral Powers, which services cannot well be accomplished by sailing vessels of any description. Indeed, under existing circumstances, no other naval enterprise can be undertaken by Greece. If, however, the great pacificating powers shall themselves adopt these means, all existing evils will terminate at once to the completion of their glorious undertaking. " COCHRANE." Extract of a letter from Naples to the Editor of the Bath Chronicle:—" hthJan. 1 can give you a little information as to the affairs of Greece. Mr. T , a man of large property, who has just returned from a voyage in the. Archipelago, says, that there is not one word of truth in what is stated either for or against the Greeks in the English or other papers: all is put in to answer some particular purpose. He paid a visit to General Church, the Generalissimo as he is called of the Greek forces,, whom he found in a house without a roof, a few boards being placed on some poles to keep out the sun : he had his Secretary with him, an amphibious wretched looking animal, and was flattering himself with receiving returns, & c. of the troops, and talked of regiments of Lancers and Hussars. His whole army consists of 1,500 infantry, and 97 cavalry ! The infantry are armed some with muskets, and some with only a long knife, and yet they will turn into a plain, and fight the Turkish cavalry. If they are supplied with muskets, they sell them directly for what they can get, and spend the money in de- bauchery. The corps of cavalry of 97, their officers included, is clothed in all the colours of the rainbow. The General praised his troops for their endurance of hardships ; which was very true, as they had not eaten any thing for four days. The state of society, if it can be called society, is terrible; to be known to be in possession of a dollar is enough to insure certain death." YEOMANRY CAVALRY.— A communication has been made by the Secretary of Slate from the Home Department to ihe Connmvndants of corps of yeo- manry, consisting of less than three troops, acquaints ing them that it is not the intention of Government lo allow any corps to continue its services ( otherwise than gratuitously) 1 of less than three troops of fifty privates per troops but allowing them until Ihe 5th of April to increase their numbers to Ihe amount required, either by the accession of new members, or by a junction wilh other corps. A very important document to the agricullurae interest has been drawn up, and published in th- Essex Herald, by Mr. John Asser, of SliflToid Co* tage. By his statement, it appears that, for eighteen years, the port of London has been supplied with about 22,000 quarters of foreign wheat annually, which is twenty two weeks' consumption! — u I hope," says Mr. Asser, " the farmers will look to this most seriously, and, in their several petitions, pray for foreign corn to be'admitted by weekly instal- ments." THE WELLESLEY PEERAGE.— By the investiture of Sir Henry Wellesley, now Lord Cowley, with the honours of the Peerage, an instance is afforded un- precedented, except in the Royal blood, of four brothers being at once entitled to sit in the British House of Peers. In Ireland, a noble fraternity somewhat similar once existed; for the first and great Earl of Cork had four sons, who were all Peers ; but the parallel falls short in this particular, that one of them was dead before the fourth received his title. There are, however, some other points of singular coincidence between the two great Irish families of Boyle and Wellesley. The first Earl of Cork and the late Earl of Morningtoa had each seven sons; of whom, in both cases, two died young; four were and are, as before noticed, Peers; and the seventh was and is, precluded from a similar fortune; the celebrated Robert Boyle, by his total devotion to science; and the Rev. Gerard Valerian Wellesley by his dedication to the church. Lord Cowley takes that title, it being the original name of the family of Wellesley. THE HOUSE OP LORDS.— The two last years have been more than usually prolific in additions to the House of Lords, as well as in accessions of honour to former Members of that House. The titles in the British Peerage conferred since the commencement of 1826 consist of two Marquisates, Bristol and Cleve- land ; three Earldoms, Amherst, Dudley, and Cawdor ; three Viscounteries, Combermere, Godericb, and Canning ; and 22 Baronies, Tadcastcr ( the Marquis ofThomond, in Ireland), SomeFhill, ( the Marquis of Clanriearde, in Ireland), Feversham, Fife, Wigan ( Earl of Balcarras, in Scotland), Ranfurley ( Viscount Northland, in Ireland), Farnborough, De Tabley, Wharncliffe, Seaford, Lyndhurst, Tenterden, Plun- kett, Melrose ( Lord Binning), Cowley, Stuart de Rothsay, Heytesbury, Roseberry, Clanwilliam, Dur- ham, Skelmersdale, and Wallace. CHANCE DISCOVERIES.— It is not a little extra- ordinary, how many of our most important discoveries owe their existence to chance. Every body knows ( he anecdote about Sir Isaac Newton and the apple; Doctor Jenner and the milkmaid; John Bunyan and drunken Perkins; & c. But every body does not know the anecdote of Sir Peter Pontop, who found the bottom of a coal- mine by chance. We proceed, therefore, lo relate it. Sir Peler had been quarrelling with one of his workmen, on ihe day previous to Ihe catastrophe we are narrating, relative to wages. There are two modes of descending inlo coal- pits. The usual way is lo be wound down in a machine ; but they to whom the exit and entrance are matters* of cuslom, content themselves in descending by grasping a rope, which communicates lo a counter- acting pulley. The weight of Ihe individual thus carries him downward without dislocation. Sir Peter, on the day in question, adopted the latter expedient, as usual, in utter darkness. Judge of his horror, when, on reaching ihe extremity of his journey, he found that his feel failed to touch the ground. He instantly thought that the workman with whom he had quarrelled had in revenge cut short the rope. He screamed and bawled till be was hoarse, but al! the operatives had adjourned to their dinner. At length his strength failed h im : be let go his hold, expecting to be dashed to aloms in Ihe unfathomable abyss, and found that he had been for a full half- hour screaming about three inches from I be ground. Here was a chance discovery which neltled Sir Peler sorely ; insomuch, that he actually felt half angry with himself for not having been precipitated some hundred feet, according to his reasonable expectation.
