His Majesty's breath ing was'much embarrassed." The Gazette of Friday Evening contains an order for . the preparation, by his Grace, the Archbishop of Canterbury, of a Form of Prayef to Almighty God fos the recovery of his Majesty from the severe in- disposition under which his Majesty is labouring, to be used iu a|! churches and chapels. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, I - oril F. L. Cower brought tip the Report of the Committee whil'li was appointed on Saturday to draw up an Ad- dress to the ThrOne, praying for the removal of Sir J. Barringtou from his office as Judge of the High Court of Admiralty in Ireland.— In the course of the proceedings, Mr. V. W. Harvey, addressing himself to Sir Robert Feel, said, " suppose both Houses sanction- ed fhe address, then the Crown would have, on deliberation, to determine whether the request con- tained In the address should be granted. The ques- tion, therefore, which he had to ask, and he asked it merely for information, arose out of the very delicate matter which had oh the preceding'night been com iniiniiatcd to the House. Would his Majesty exer- cise the royal consideration with rcspect fo ibis ad- dress? or was it intended that the persons who were fo be appointed in consequence of the Message of last night, should exercise the royal deliberation as well RS fhe performance of the mechanical office of signing public documents?"— Sir Robert I'eel replied, that the Hon. Member appeared to him to mistake alto- gether the object of the Mes- age of the preceding night. His Majesty was perfectly capable of exer- cising discretion and deliberation, and the Message merely stated that bodily indisposition made it incon- venient and painful for his Majesty to sign with his o-. vn hind those public instruments which required his sign manual. No Minister would presume to attach his Majesty's signature to any document upon which the pleasure of the Crown had not been taken ; much less lo an instrument for the removal of a Judge. His Majesty's pleasure would be taken upon this as it was taken upon every other case; for he had the satisfaction of assuring the House, that his Majesty was at that moment as competent to exercise mental discretion us he had ever been at any other period of his life. WINDSOR, SATURDAY NIGHT.— The legs of the royal pnfient are very much swelled ; tlicy have been repeatedly operated upon by Mr. Brodie, surgeon, but latterly with not so much good effect. It is under- stood that setons have beeli tried, anil a very profuse discharge has taken place from flic parts affected. Sir M. Tierney attends the King principally at night, and sleeps in a room adjoining. Sir H. Halford has also beeti now upwards of a month in almost constant attendance, to the entire loss of his regular practice. The measure of nominating a commission to exercise the functions of his Majesty, in subscribing the sign manual, was rendered imperative, owing to the great inconvenience experienced in several departments, through the accumulation of instruments, the com- pletion of which was urgently called for. In many instances papers had been waiting for the royal signature for near two years. Two public offices had each 5000 documents ready for signature. The whole of these would, in the event of the demise of the King, have been useless, and considerable expense and inconvenience must have been incurred. A similar measure to that now proposed was, we have heard, two years ago proposed to his Majesty by the ministers, but the King refused his assent. As a proof, however, that the King must have exerted himself, at some personal inconvenience, to affix his signature the writing to some of the papers signed by him recently could scarcely be recognized as that of his Majesty. The Duke of Wellington visited his Majes- ty yesterday. The South Salopian Regiment of Yeomanry Ca- valry, under the Command of Colonel The Viscount Clive, tompleted their eight, days' permanent duty in this town yeslerday.— On Monday last, the Regiment went through the evolutions of a Field Day, and were reviewed by Lieutenant- Colonel Wallace of the 5tli Dragoon Guards, who was attended by Captain Hampton and Lieutenant Wardell, of the same Corps; after which Colonel Wallace was pleased to express his opinion of the Regiment in the following note to its Noble Commander:— " Shrewsbury, 31st May, 1830. " Colonel Wallace requests Viscount Clive to offer to his Officers, Non- commissioned Officers, aud Men, the Lieutenant- Colonel's best congratulations ou the general appearance of Ihe Regiment, the excellent quality and condition of the llorses, and the steadiness of the Troops in Manceuvre, which he will have great pleasure in reporting lo the Horse Guards; with Ihe additional gratifying fact of neither Officer nor Mail being absent without leave." The Head Quarters and Mess Of the Regiment were during this meeting at the Talbot Inn ; and the Noble Colonel and all the other Officers of the Regi- ment were unanimous in expressing their satisfaction at the arrangements made and carried into effect for their accommodation, and which reflected the highest credit on the establishment of that well- known Inn and Ilutel.

SIR, Agreeing, as 1 do cordially, with your Correspondent, A PARISHIONER," that the. Charities administered in the parish of St. Chad were not intended for persons receiving parochial' rfelief, but rather for those who endeavour to keen themselves from being burdensome to their neighbours, sif. Il, 1 think there are few parishioners of St. Chad that will not oppose the sntig mode of expending the rent of Hopton Farm that he has recommended. If the small amount ( compara- tively) Of this fund is expended in pensions of from £ b to £ 10 each, how few will be the partakers of the bounty to be - ajfo ministered! and what a convenient opportunity this will offer for furthering that petty system of jobbing and favouritism which too often creeps* into even parish affairs! Some half dozen individuals, who, without any well- founded pretension, choose to consider themselves, as the phrase is, " the head-* of the parish," would then take upon them; as has been too often done in other cases, to lay down a plan for the administration of this fund which would" neither be in accordance with com- mon sense nor common justice; and once they had been per- m ii ted to exercise this unautlioi ised sway over that which ought to be as much within the "' jurisdiction of every rate- payer as under the controul of there. self- elected " heads of the parish," it would not, perhaps, be very easy to establish a more- correct system 1 certainly hope that the'donations to. be dis- tributed will be judiciously apportioned by the Church- wardens among the industrious and the deserving poor: but do not let us have any £ 5 or £ 10 pensioners; for, in all .- pro- bability, they would often be selected for considerations quits at variance with the views of the original benefactors.- ANOTHER PARISHIONEU.

The bulletin of to- day, as will he seen, is more favourable than that of yesterday ; but we regret to state that, our private information respecting his I\ Iajesty\> health is any thing but consolatory •— " Windsor Castle, May 31, 1830 " The King has pa. wed a good night, and his Majesty'; respiration is rather less embarrassed. ( Signed) " H. IIAT. PORD, " M. J. TIERNEY.' The Duke of Cumberland visited his Majesty on Sunday, and remained with him the greater part of the day. His Majesty received visits yesterday from the Puke of Clarence, the Princess Augusta, and the Duchess of Gloucester, who had all interviews v? ith the King. Thie Duke of Clarence remained four hours at the. Palace, and took his departure at four o'clock on his return to Bushy Park. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester left together some time previous to the Royal Duke. It is stated that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence is likely to present the nation with an addition to the House of Brunswick.—- John Bull. MorRN, Britons, mourn !. all hope Is o'er, Age tells a truth beyond disguise: He'll rule and reign o'er us no more; In lingering life the Monarch lies. What's now to him the sceptre's sway, Theermiu. ed robe, the jewelled crown? Can high estate or power gainsay Thp terror of affliction's frown I What is't to him, though nations bow Before his panoply of state ? Or what avails his glory now] A higher mandate, he must wait.. What is to him the glittering star, The conquest of the bravest foe, Dominion over realms afar, If Death must lay the conqueror low ? Still lesS to him fair Beauty's smile, Though round his court the Graces move* Vain pbautoms, which no more beguile,--- Passed, like the meteor- beam of love.

Take comfort, for the flimsy screen, Transparent shows eternal rest ! Think of his glories that have been,; And are to be— among the blest! NEW BEER BILL.— The licensed victuallers, sic are afraid, have no chance of succeeding in their opposition to this measure ; for the potent body that did so much mischief last year have taken the field against them: we mean tlie rats! A petition in opposition to the Bill was got up arid signed by some of the innkeepers of Shrewsbury, and directed to be sent to an Honourable Member—( neither of the Representatives of the Borough)— for presentation to the House of Commons. The matter was by some means delayed ; the petition lay about for a few days; and on subsequent enquiry,- it was stated that the rots had eaten away that portion of the skin on Which the petition was written!— of course, the thing- was at an end ; and thus have the native breed pre- sumed to interfere go as to prevent the petition being submitted to their more dignified compeers of St. Stephen's.— Such is the rumour : and if true, it must be taken as another surprising instance of the pro- gress of ratiocination in the provinces ! To the Editor of the Saloplun Jonrnal. SIR,— As one of that class whose interests Mr. Slangy deems it right to sacrifice for what he is pleased to term the general good, 1 may, perhaps, be pardoned for obtruding my.- elf on public attention at this moment; and my object io so doing is to declare my opinion,' that'the general good will not be in the le:. st promoted by that measure which will be to me. and others o.' my class a posrtive injury. Let the New Beer Bill be tried • and I venture to foretel it will not realise one of those antici- pati > ns that appear'so plausible iu theory, but which will not oe brought into action by tbe indiscriminate Sile of beef. Knowing that what I write on this subject will, by some persons, be viewed rather as the splenet ic ebullition of an inter- ested individual, than as the production of one anxious only for the adoption of that, which shall most conduce to public advantage, 1 shall be brief in my remarks: but, as my occu- pation brings me in Contact with many persons of acute under- standing and close observation, in various ranks of life, I am sometimes induced to wish that Mr. Slaney were in my situa- tion, if not to follow my business, at least to learn in - the active and humbler walks of society what are the opinions of practical men as to his impracticable theories. In the case of the Publicans antf the Beer Bill, what may be ; sportive experiment to Mr. Slaney and his fellow,. theorists, • will to some of us be ruih- i- to all, in a greater or a lesser degree, an injury : and to men struggling for a living in these perilous times, this is, indeed, a serious matter. Mr Slancy and other Honourable Gentlemen may simper'and whine over their experiments, because, in all events, they think themselves out of the reach of the co. nseq. ii. wic. e^.^', tjfyir^,.,. however, beware. They are, link by link, diminishing that bond ot confidence which is the best security for property and real liberty: the great mass of the people, too, have stumbled on the line of the march of intellect:: Union and Co- operation have in one instance done wonders: the result has not been lost sight of: the system is bging- adopted iu various parts of the kingdom, with" a diversity of views: active agents are spread- ing strange doctrines as they traverse the country: and when other experiments ou the economy of society have run their disastrous course, let not Mr. Sl'aney be. surprised if these people, adopting his own text, should conceive it to be more for the general good that the monopoly created by the Corn Laws should be abolished, or even that the large estates of d particular class should be divided with those that, are at present independent of such incumbrance The latter doctrine would to many be very palateable ; for the needy, the inconsiderate, and the profligate form a numerous body •. and if this doctrine were to be carried into effect, perhaps the real proprietors would hardly be 16t down so gently as to be permitted to come in for their numerical proportion. I trust I shall never wit- ness sucli a scene: but it astonishes me that men like Mr. Slaney, possessing the use of their faculties, cannot see to what extremes certain of their opinions would give countenance. If some of Mr. Staney's theories were to be tried for thirty years chaos would ensue. Happily, their absurdity will preserve the country from the infliction of their ruinous " operation. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN INNKEEPER.

ROYAL CAMBRIAN INSTITUTION. A General Meeting of this Society was held at the Freemasons' Hall on Saturday week, for the purpose of awarding its Annual Medals and Premiums, Capt. Scott in the Chair. The Royal Medal was awarded to a Bard who pigned his name Galaris ( the mourner), for an Elegy in the Welsh Language on the Death of the late Thomas Jones, Esq. Bard and Treasurer to the In- stitution. The adjudication of the Priife Essays, also of the best Historical Account of the Antient fortifications in Denbigh and Montgomery shires, was postponed. The Society's large silver medal, and a premium of five guineas, will be awarded to the anthor of the best Account, or brief Biographical Sketch, of the most eminent individuals which the Principality of Wales has produced since the Reformation; the candi- dates to send in their productions by the 1st of March, 1831. A select number of the members dined together in honour of the birth- day of the son of their patriotic President, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart. When the cloth was removed, the Chairman, D. Ellis, Esq. in proposing the health of the Patron of the Institu- tion, our Gracious Sovereign, alluded to his munificent donation to the Welsh Charity School of a hundred guineas annually for more than half a century ! The National Anthem was sung, and the following Stanza introduced by Mr. Parry with great applause: Long may old Cambria share The love and royal care Of George onr King. May Heav' 11 its blessings pour, Ar ben ein BRENTS SIOR,* Asoon to health restore, Our Gracious King. The following toasts were then drunk with eVcry mark of respect :— The President, Sir W. W.

Mr. Parry, juu. whose successful debut at Mr. Cramer's Concert was lately noticed, sang several ballads, accompanying himself on the pedal harp, in a very superior style.

FOR TUB SALOPIAN JOURNAL. " To Kingsland's arbours once a year . they go, " In order'd elegance, serene and slow ; 44 The bodies corporate in classes bright, " I11 different orders, but in one delight; 44 There blend with mutual hands the friendly bowls, " There bJeftd their wishes, and therfe blend their souls." JONES' 3 SHREWSBURY & UARRY, anno 1770. The Anniversary of il Shrewsbury Show" being a day al- ways anticipated by Salopians with feelings of delight, as affording an annual treat of no ordinary fecreatioti and hos- pitality, 1 am gratifted to find that this custoni--. a remnant of the hearty and vigorous manners of our forefathers in days of yore, is not to be wanting on the approaching return of its celebration in the pageantry which particularly distinguished it in times long winged away. In fact; I have never witnessed the social pomp of the different Companies marching. i « pro- cession through our streets to Kingsla& d,--- the goodly array of tradesmen walking, as it were, hand in hand together, - •- without feeling that, as 4< Union, Brotherhood, arid Mirth" are thus combined in one delightful scene, every countenance being brightened with these moral virtues, it docs much to cultivate that good fellowship and harmony which is at least conducive to the best interests and well- being of society. Whilst upon this subject, 1 would therefore take- leave to suggest to the Com- brethreu a plan which might prevent a repetition of petty disputes, which, it must be remembered, occurred at the last celebration of this Anciefit" Festival respecting the priority of the " Arbour" in which the Mayor and Corporation should dine, although it has been customary of late years for the Mayor and his attendants, on arriving at Kingsland, to proceed at once to the 41 Cord winners';" where they generally dined, and, after visiting the other arbours, to finish their peregrinations at the 11 Builders' ••" last year, how- ever, the two Companies aforenamed had provided suitable entertainments, each expecting and claiming the honour of his company to dinner ; the debate went high, and so far as to cause au adjustment of the point in dispute by a ballot among the attendants of the Mayor, when it was decided in favour of the 44 Men of Leather," at which the 44 Hearts of Oak and Stone" naturally relented to anything but acqui- escence in the decision. : • Now such an unpleasant difference, t am sure, might be avoided in future, if it was previously arranged for one of the several Companies to invite his Worship to dine with them alternately, when he might enjoy himself with comfort, instead of Hastily demolishing half a dozen dinners in the same number of hours '! ( to which the digestive powers of a portly Alderman can a'lone do adequate justice); proceeding at. his convenience to visit the other Companies iu their respective arbours; and Thus mixing with the social band, Might give to each his heart and hand, whilst he convivially and pleasantly 44 Quaffed the invigorating cheer, To Friendship sacred/' until he had completed his round, at which last Arbour a portion of the collation provided might be reserved,, and appropriated as a sort of finale or supper; each Company would then, in their turn, have all the gratification resulting from the Mayor and liifi friends dining and suppin^^ itti t'^ eii* once in six years, besides the additional opportunity afforded of spending the festive day among themselves and visitors with comfort, instead of, as at present, not venturing to feed upon the good things so amply provided until the Right WorSlripTm of the day had seated himself at their hospitable board, whereby much time is unnecessarily wasted in eti- quette, which might be more happily employed by drowning in the sparkling glass whatever petty piques may have accu- MARKET HERALD.

IMPOSTORS.— Several colliers from the neighbour- hood of Oaken Gates, Donnington Wood, & c- are in the habit of wandering abroad with false petitions, craving charitable aid, others with apparent injuries on different parts of the body. Two of these charac- ters, a few days ago, were apprehended by Mr. S E. Walter, constable of Madeley.— One of them admitted that since 1816 himself and others had been accus- tomed to such practices, finding it more beneficial than to be employed at their usual work, as they generally obtained from 3s. to 5s. per diem, and sometimes more.— both are committed to the House of Correction.

Our arrivals of Foreign Wheat and Flour have been pretty extensive, and duties to a heavy amount were yesterday paid on both articles, not being less than £ 36,000, and which gives us for consumption a very necessary and much- wanted supply of both articles. Many holders, however, of both, preferred keeping them in bond to paying the duty of 20s. 8d. 011 Wheat; and, although they anticipated a rise in the duty for two or three weeks to come, and it is this day 2is. 8d. per quarter, yet, from the great deficiency of Wheat in the country, a great reduction in the duty is confidently looked for, and of which there can be no doubt. This day's Market was thinly at tended ; but there was no disposition on the part of the holders of the late rebound Wheat and Flour to force sales, and prices continue the same.

Woor,.— Towards the close of the last year we apprised Our readers that foreign wool of the lower qualities was iikely to become scarce iu the clothing districts of England before the arrival of the present year's stock. What we then foresaw has now happened, and foreign wools, from one shilling to two shillings per lb. have since advanced full five and twenty per cent. On the finer qualities of foreign wools there is little or no advance; but on the English clothing and blanket wools, as well as on the finer qualities of the combing wools of the midland and southern counties, the advance is very consider- able. So far as this- is a legitimate improvement arising fairly out of the demand and supply, we are glad of it.; bat the trade would suffer serious injury if speculation should force up the prices to an undue elevation, and the wool growers themselves would also suffer afterwards by the re- action.— Leeds Mer- cury.

Iter pain ; about ten days or a fortnight before her death; she applied to a surgeon, who filed it off. tnflani- Ifi'ation and mirrlificafion immediately followed, ran up her anjiy and ended iu her death. The deceased as 66 yearrf'of age. BLIGHT..— The extensive tract of woodland country eastward of Monmouth, comprising Bieulieu Grove, Hadnock Wood, and the Crown Property, have become a scene of devastation by the ravages ( if blight; thousands of oaks, which a few days since presented such pleasing verdure, have been entirely stripped of their foliage, and have become winter- like in appearance. The grub has confined itself | o the oak stores or trees, and when the leaves of oiie tree arc devoured, the insects, lower themselves hy a fibrous web, which they spin, and ascend the next: there are few oaks throughout the whole of these woods but what have been visited by this destroyer of vegetation. Tbe oldest wood wards on this pro- perty do not remember such destruction to the oak. JJiscoVERY OF A MURDER.— In July, 1828, a Mr. Hollier, a respectable fanner of Lichfield- laiie, near Burton. upon Trent, was found in the road, a short distance front his house, quite dead. His skull was fractured, there were other marks of violence upon his person, and his horse was tied to a gate near where the body lay, so as to leave no doubt of tbe unfortunate man having been foully murdered. The deceased had the previous evening had a quarrel at a public- house with two boatmen, named Batkin and Shorthouse, and they w ere taken into custody on suspicion, but as nothing could be proved against them, they were liberated. A few weeks ago, a man named Jackson, a private in the 2d Dragoon Guards, then stationed at Cashel, being in the hospital, and, as he imagined, with a malady likely to terminate fatally, mentioned to a fellow soldier, also an invalid, that he had something that preyed on his mind, and lie then imparted to him tbe whole particulars of the above murder. He stated that he was present at the quarrel at the public- house between the deceased and Batkin and Shortfiouse, that he witnessed his assassinatirn by these two men ( but took no part in it), and that he had been sworn to secrecy by them with threats of personal violence if he ever divulged the matter. In consequence of this disclosure, Jackson, whose illness took a favourable turn almost immediately after making it, was taken intq custody at Manchester ( to which place the regi- ment had removed), and it was discovered that Batkin and Shorthouse were working as labourers on the canal at Birmingham. Batkin has been apprehended, and has undergone one examination, Jackson being the principal witness against him. hut Shorthouse has absconded ; hopes are, however, entertained that he will be soon in custody. It is said that the unfortunate victim was first set oh and left for dead about ten o'clock ; but some doubts existing in the minds of the assassins whether they had effected their purpose, they returned about one o'clock, and heiiring. tne wounded man groan, they then completed the atrocious deed.

Tbe late Dr WRKJI1T, an eminent Medical Practitioner at STAF- FORD, applied himself diligently many years i endeavouring lo find au effectual Remedy for ih above alarming and ( too frequently) obstinate Dis eases.

At the earnest entreaties of many persons of respectability, who had Witnessed its beneficial ef- fects, and after ihe most mature consideration on his own part, Ihe Possessor has decided upon the laller plan. The extraordinary efficacy of this Ointment Ii us been fully proved for forty years ; in many inve- terate cancerous eases il has effectually cured those who had ptevionsly laboured under the agonizing apprehensions of surgical operations. It is entirely free from offensive smell ; nud from the harmless iintuie of the ingredients, it may be applied lo children of Ihe most lender years.

If we mistake not, however, the Members were pretty well aware that, as a body, the House is at present in such odour, that, after the experience of last year, scarcely any subject of a general nature will again induce the great mass of the English nation to interest themselves in addressing petitions to them— The- following observations, from a letter sent to the Editor of a most respectable provincial Journal, contain much point, and will repay tbe trouble of a perusal:— I generally have great delight in reading your paper, chiefly because you are so seldom taken with the doctrines and maxims which are conducting tbe Slate with such unerring skill to the rocks upon which our political power is to he run and wrecked. How came you to let your sagacity sleep upon the itation of the Jew Bill, so as to give that most un- productive body a station in the moral scale which places them above the patient and laborious ranks of your fellow- citizens who have carried the renown of our common country, both in arts and arms to the highest pinnacle yet reached hy any people? You ought to have suspected the proposal for ' emanci- pating'' thrill, when you observed that it came fr im those very Grants who. made elaborate speeches last year to disfranthiese tbe Irish ' freeholders, for what they ( Ihe speakers) dremc.- l the most orderly ami judicious- use of their elective right. ' ' Ihev ( ihe Jews) have committed no political delinquency,' said on* of- these profound orators. Mo, truly they have not — they have done no mischief either in tbe Baro- nial or any other wars — tbey bad 110 preference for cither of the Roses— and Henry's supremacy was as good as the Pope's. Commonwealth or Restoration, there was no difference, except in the order of time, whose apathy they shared— they did not assist to make or break any of the alliances in tbe last war, but they very equitably provided both sides with What W4* most needful. Since the days of Judas MaccaVcus they have left off the use of arms, else they would Itirve wrought wonders in Wellington's campaigns or Nelson's sea- fights— in short, they are ' no swaggerers,, nor would they face a Barbarv hen, d id she throw back her feathers in any show of oppo- sition.' A « to ihe manufacturing arts, they are gene- rally so diffident of their pretensions that they will not affect to emulate either those who invent or those who execute. Tbey quietly wait tilt the commodities are thrown into marketable form, and then they buy and sell, and truck and barter, and pocket the differ- ence iu cash — and thus they accumulate money, and money is capital; and, as Von may learn from the Economists, capital must be accumulated to create industry, since industry, which formerly created capi- tal, is disabled, and he who gathers, not he who pro- duces, is the creator of commodities. Hence it is, as you may learn from the same wise men, that, tbe Jews and the Treasury are the greatest benefactors to a • Country, and by parity of reasoning your working population are tbe least so. " But to return. How came you to he taken with the Jews so far as to say that the proverb ' as rich as a Jew' is a fallacy ? Take a fool's advice— never relinquish a proverb. It may he wrong, but it has infinite chances in its favour. It is the wit, as law is the wisdom, of ages, fio half- taught, quick- judging political economist ever brained a more chimerical proposition than the alleged poverty of the Jews. Not to be personal, think of the fortunes of five or six of the leading families, and do not forget those who are ' in alliance with the powers' according to their pregnant motto. Take Pig6t's Directory, and look for the names and callings of the people in Goodman's Fields and the other back of the Minories If you can get. a list of the names of the stock and bullion brokers, that will help you amazingly. Cast up their fortunes at any fair average sum ; then pro- portion that and their numbers, twenty- seven thou- sand, to the estimated value of lands arm! the known value of funds, combined with the numbers of our population, taking them at twenty- four millions. When you have done this, in ever so imperfect a manner, you will find their possessions greatly dis- proportioned to their numbers. Are they the less estimable for that? Oh ! to be sure not, in a nation that has but one maxim to guide both policy and morals. The fact is, their praises would never have been sounded had they not, as a body, been eminently rich. There is a party among us taken with an extraordinary eagerness to beat up for Legislators. ' Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in.' Prevention and providence are not common attributes of Government. But the last want wc can hope to experience, is that of people to tnake laws- tor us. For myself, 1 rest with consider- able resignation on this head. Should we fail in Scotland and Ireland,' tlie children of Judalv may be persuaded to relight tire lamp of Solomon. It may happen to the Turk to have his sceptre broken ; anil we ail know there are no governors like military people. Should he refuse, we must try further East, among the Mahometans and Brabmiiiical tribes of Hindoslan— and after that there are the gentle Malays atul tlie Loo Clioo and Tonga islanders. Courage, Messieurs Grant— our case is not so bad as you think. We- have not yet exhausted the wisdom ot' Dublin, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Colleges, whatever may have happened at Oxford, Cambridge, and the Lon- i don Universities."

A copy of Prince Leopold's note to the Earl of Aberdeen, resigning the sovereignly of ( irccce and assigning his reasons for the act, has been published. The subjoined paragraphs from his royal highness's note will be read with interest. The arrangements of the allied powers relating to the Greek frontier, which seems to have caused great dissatisfaction among the Greeks, and to enforce which coercive measures are likely to be necessary, are stated by the prince as the causes which prompted him to declimrthe honour of governing Greece. " The undersigned does not conceive it consistent with his character and feelings to submit to be thus forced on an unwilling people, and to be connected in their minds with a diminished territory— the aban- donment of their brethren in arms— and the evacuation of their lands and houses, from which hitherto the Turks have never expelled them, but by a temporary incursion. These . results the undersigned always apprehended In his communication with the First Lord of the Treasury, of the 9th of February, he protested against going out to govern the Greeks in pursuance of a treaty which might also lead to the bloodshed and murder of their brethren ; he objected to the new boundaries as weak anil insecure in a military point of view, and claimed' for tbe Greeks the right of opposing his nomination. " The undersigned is thus placed in this painful position in consequence of his nomm ition being, hy tbe same act, connected with those compulsory mea- sures His first act as a sovereign will have to be either to compel his own suhjeeis, by force of foreign arms, to submit to the Cession of their estates and properties to their enemies, or to join with them in resisting or evading the execution of a part of that very treaty which places him on tbe throne of Greece. " In these circumstances, tbe duty which the undersigned has to perform towards Greece is clear and straightforward. Throughout the whole of these transactions he has only contemplated Ibe interests of that country, and has uniformly protested, birth in his written communications and his personal interviews Willi the ministers of England and the plenipoten- tiaries of the allied courts, against the Greeks being forced iiito any arrangement considered by them as contrary to their wishes and destructive of those rights which', as the President justly observes, their great sacrifices give them a right to ius- ist upon. " When the undersigned contemplated tbe high distinction of becoming sovereign of Greece, it was with the hope of being acknowledged freely and unanimously by the Greek nation, and welcomed by them as the friend through whose means their long and heroic struggles were to be repaid by the security of their territories and the establishment of their independence on a permanent and honourable basis. " It is with the deepest regret that the undersigned Sees these hopes annihilated, and is forced to declare, that the arrangements of the allied powers and the opposition of the Greeks deprive him of the power of effecting this sacred and glorious object, and would impose on him an office of a very different character — that Of a delegate of the allied courts, appointed by them to hold Greece in subjection hy the force of their arms. Such a mission would be as repugnant to his feelings gpd injurious to his character as it is in direct opposition to fhe objects of the tieaty of the 8th of July, in Which the three powers are associated for the purpose of obtaining tbe pacification of the East. " The undersigned, therefore, formally resigns into the hands of the plenipotentiaries a trust which cir- cumstances no longer permit him to execute with honour to hi m self, benefit to Greece, or advantage to the general interests of Europe."

The Dfike of WELLINGTON, in remarking itpoM what fell from tbe Noble Earl, expressed bis surprise that such a requirement shokld be made after Ihe . notoriety of the King's. illness for six wefts pastj during which time he had been attended by some of the most able and experienced persons ill the medical profession, whose statements were lie- fore the public. Tbe. Noble Duke concluded by sthting that Ministers introduced the measure at the expressed wish of the Sovereign, and on their, own fiill responsibility.— [ T he Noble Duke spoke with considerable ; il l The Marquis of LANSDOWNE . concurred with Ihe Noble Earl ( Winchilsea), and said that in common with their Lordships, he proceeded entirely on the respon- sibility of Ministers in the pver£ ijt, temporary enact- ment, and he looked to a reconsideration of the biil before tbe termination of the present session. The Duke of N. ntcinin inquired if fit? state of his Majesty was such as to admit of his entering into conversation without great pain and inconvenience. The LORD CHANCILLOR knew that hiit Noble Friend on Ilia left ( the Duke of Welliog( « n) had recently had a Conversation with his Majesty for ai very considerable time, which lie supposed was K sufficient answer to the question of the Noble Duke. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. Mr. O'CoNNF. I. I., in conformity wifji a iiofice of long standing, brought forward his motion on Parlia- mentary Reform. In a speech of considerable length, the Hon. Gentleman advocated triennial parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote hy ballot. In conclusion,- Mr. O'Connell moved for " leave to bring in a bill for the effectual and radical reform nf abuses iu the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament." Mr. J. WOOD seconded the motion ; it was opposed hy Captain DUN DAS and by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, 1 who stated that he dissented from all the remedies Mr O'Connell proposed to apply. If the motion of the Hon Gentleman were negatived, in order id relieve himself from the embarrassment iri Which he was involved, he should move the following resolu- tions :—" That it is expedient to extend the basis of the representation of the people in this boose.-— That it is expedient that members should be sent t<* parliament by the large manufacturing tovhis, anil that additional members should be given to counties of great extent, wealth, and population.— That in order to attain the object of the foregoing resolutions without inconvenience, it is expedient that the number of the smaller boroughs returning members should not exceed 60; and that boroughs with a population not exceeding 2,500 shall not send more than one member to parliament."—" That if is expedient to grant compensation to boroughs which lose their right of returning two members, the said Compensation toi be afforded by means of a fixed slim to be applied to that purpose bv annual grants for several Vears." Mr. Stuart Wortley, Lord Valletort, Lord Althorp, Mr. O'Brien, Sir Robert Peel, and Mr. Brougham, 1 objected to the motion of Mr. O'Connell, severally reserving themselves as to their particular views on the question of reform. Mr. Ilobliouse gave the motion Ins approval. Tbe house ( hen divided oh Mr O'CoUneti's motion — Ayes 13; Noes 3t9. Motion lost by a majority of 306.

Both Houses of Parliament assembled this mornings The Lords and Commons, pursuant to ancient fusion; when parliament meets on the celebration of the anniversary of King Charles's Restoration, an event which lias not occurred for upwards of twenty years, went to bear Divine Service, the Peers to Westminster Abbey, and tbe Commons to St. Margaret's Church. After service, tbe members met for Ibe purpose of hearing tlie Royal Assent given to the King's Sign Manual and other bills that hail passed both Houses. His MAJESTY'S SIGNATURE— On Saturday tort, sideralile interest was manifested in the House of Lords among those noble peers who attended, lo obtain a sighf of the royal signature to the commission,-, forwarded to the house, for giving tlie asscnl to several public and private bills. The more anxiety was felt on this subject, as it is the last document of a public nature that his Majesty will sign with his own hand until he recovers from bis present indisposition. 11 Majesty, in the instrument referred to, signed his Christian name with considerable boldness, tuough it wanted that firmness with which' it has usually been characterised. The R in the word Ilex is- very fee- ble., and tbe two letters which follow it manifest a want of energy in the writing. The principal provisions of the Sale of Beer Bill- are as follows :—- The act is to' come into operation oil the 11th of October next, aud after that period all persons may obtain licences for selling beer, ate, and porter, by retail, in any premises specified in such licence. The licence will be granted for a year; it will not authorize the party to sell wine or spirits. ' Fhe christian atul surnames' of the parties, and the words " Licensed to sell beer by retail," are to be placed over the door of the premises licensed, under a penalty of £ 10. A penalty of not less than £| 0, nor more than £ 20, is imposed for selling beer after the expiration of the licence. Measures sized accord- ing to the standard are to be used, under a penalty of not exceeding 40s. Penalties are imposrd upon per- sons allowing drunkenness or disorderly conduct in tbeir houses, and magistrates are empowered to order licensed houses to Ire closed when any riot or tumult shall happen, or be expected. The act contains several regulations to be observed on Sundays amf fast days, and also imposes penalties upon person* selling beer made otherwise than from malt and hops, or for adulterating it in any manner. The act is trot to affect the privileges of Oxford or Cambridge, or the Vintners' Company in London, nor alter any law relating to the excise, except as tar as the same i* expressly altered ; nor to prohibit the sale of beer, io booths or other places at lawful fairs. Various other causes hare been assigned for the unexpected resignation of the Throne of Greece by Prince Leopold — One is, that the President of Greece, Count Capo D'Istria, the creature of Russia and him- self a supposed aspirant to the crown, has, by well- managed intrigue and artful representations, frighten- ed Prince Leopold from undertaking the arduous task of governing a people who are described as being dissatisfied with the arrangements of the allies: another cause assigned is, that his royal highness, contemplating the stirring events which are likely to mark the political history of the next ten years, pre- fers to take his chance of playing a conspicuous part in public affairs at home, to the certainty of enjoying sovereign power abroad. What truth there may be in these rumours, or whether there be any, we know- not. The subject has been mentioned in Parliament; and it would seem, from observations made by Lords Grey, Durham, and Holland, who areevideiiHv warm friends of Prince Leopold, that his royal highness is not satisfied with the treatment which be has received from ministers. Farther explanations w ill, therefore, it is very probable, soon take pi tee, when the public at large w ill be put in possession of the secret history of the causes which led Prince Leopold to spurn the crown of Greece.

The LORD CHANCE LLOR moved the order of the day for Ihe first reading of the bill to provide a substitute for the sign manual. His Majesty's message was read over by the clerk ; The LORD CHANCELLOR then rose, and spoke to the following effect :— My lords, iu consequence of Ihe notice given by the noble duke last night, and in conformity with the recommendation contained ill the message which has been just read, 1 have now to stale to your lordships the nature and out line of the measure which his Majesty's servants propose to the house to adopt, for the purpose of giving effect to this recommendation. My lords, I deeply lament the occasion which calls upon us to propose this measure; and, in expressing this feel ing, I am sure 1 carry willi nrte the'sympathies of your lordships, as 1 do those of every individual in this realm. My lords, 1 entertain a deep sense of the delicate and dillicull nature of the measur which is now submitted to your consideration, is of the utmost importance— this measure being called for by necessity— that we should carry it into effect willi all possible speed ; but, at the same time, in such a shape and form, as not to inflict any detriment upon the public service. My lords, I feci deeply with the noble carl ( Grey) who ad- dressed some observations to the house upon this subject last night, that we should not look merely to the present time, and the existing circumstances, but that we should lake care not to establish a precedent which, with men of a different character, and in bad times, might lead to the infliction of material injury upon the people. It is perfectly obvious that there are two modes by which we might appoint a substitute for the sign manual. One is, that some other individual or individuals, in tbe pretence of the Sovereign, and by his express command, should subscribe his Majesty's name, by his Majesty's immediate authority. Another is, that some other individual, by means of a stamp prepared for the purpose, and bearing the im- pression of the royal sign, should affix this stamp to those instruments and documents requiring the sign manual, in the presence of his Majesty, and by his express command. Tbe latter mode has been adopted frequently at various periods of our history. 1 state this, not upon the authority of a loose com- munication, but npon the faith of documents pre- served hi our public repositories. The first docu- ment to which 1 shall refer is, a patent in the reign of Henry VIII. It is in a perfect slate, and is deposited in the British Museum. This instrument, made by Henry V| ll. appoints a commission, con- sisting of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord High Chancellor, aud the Lords and other members of " the Privy Council, or nny six of them, to affix from lime to time, as it may be neccssary, a stamp bearing tbe impress of the royal sign to certain warrants for. money. This power was given for a limited time, and it was given, not from any in- ability iu the sovereign to perforin the duties of his high office, but tor his own personal convenience, und to prevent the loss of time. There are many other instruments of the reign of Henry VIII.:— Ordinances for the levying aud mustering of troops; proclamations and letters requiring the sign manual — making iu all eight or ten. They are in a perfect state, and may be seen in the British Museum. Again, in the reign of Edward VI. there are two proclamations— one for the raising of troops in the northern parts of the kingdom to provide against an incursion of the Scots— another, iu consequence of an insurrection in the eastern counties. To both these a stump bearing the impress of the royal sign is affixed, and tlicy are countersigned by Ilie Pro. lector Somerset. In the time of Queen Mary, too, there is a proclamation to those engaged iu Sir Thomas Wyati's insurrection, promising them a free pardon if they return to their homes forthwith, in conformity to the expression of the document, which is of the same nature with the others. At a subsequent period there is another instrument to which 1 wish to refer ; but. 1 must, iu this instance, state that tbe fact of its existence depends chiefly upon the authority of a contemporary historian— I allude to llie reign of King William, who iu the last moments of his life, when no longer able to sign his name, yet gave his assent to two important bills which had recently passed through parliament — one the bill for securing the Protestant succes- sion, the other the Malt Duty Ilill. The assent was given to those bills by a commission appointed by his Majesty. The authority to which 1 refer for these facts is Kennet. 1 directed my researches most diligently in the Parliament Office in search of the document; but I found that a record of the coin- mission does not exist. 1 must rely, therefore, upon the contemporary historian— aud upon the authority of other writers, also contemporary, My lords, I am also aware that in the reign of Henry VIII shortly before that monarch's death, a commission was appointed to affix the royal signature to the bill for the attainder of the Duke of Norfolk. The assent was given by commission, and the King's signature affixed by means of a stamp. The document is still n existence. And, my lords, in the first of Queen Mary, we find a biil to make this attainder null and void ; and, in the recital of this bill, one of the grounds for the refusal was, that the signature was not by the sign manual— that a stamp, bearing the impress of the royal sign, was affixed, but not by the King himself— that it was only affixed by a clerk. The which fact, by fhe way, depends not upon document, but upon the evidence of the Secretary of State. Again, Ihe bill recited thnt this stamp was affixed only a few hours before the death of the Sovereign ; and for these and other reasons, the attainder was declared null and void by Ihe House of Commons. My lords, I relate hese simply as historical fuels, not as saying that we should, without the authority of parliament, provide means for the temporary discharge of this function of the crown, as we might, according to these precedents; but when we are considering which of the two modes would be the most advis- able to adopt, I conceived it right and proper to stale what has been done ou former occasions in providing a substitute for the sign manual. On the present occasion, however, my lords, there is no minister who would of his own authority determine that any mode should be adopted for affixing the sign manual, when not impressed by his Majesty himself. Therefore is it we have come to parlia- ment lo take counsel, and to enter into deliberation with il, stating what has occurred to our own minds, and ready to receive and to adopt, if they should seem good to us, the suggestions of any noble lord. Having slated this I hope distinctly— I am sure sincerely— it only remains for me to state the mode in which we propose to provide a substitute for the sign manual, and the securities with which we intend it should be guarded. And here I can assure your lordships, we are anxious that every security should be thrown out, for the purpose of preventing any possible abuse; but we are at Ihe same time desirous not to have it clog the public business, and occasion unnecessary ioss of time. Our proposition is shortly and precisely this: that a commission under the sign manual should issue, for a limited period, authorizing one or more therein named to affix Hie King's signature, by a stamp prepared for the pnrpose, to such instruments, warrants, or documents, as require the sign manual. The securities by which we propose to guard against any abuse are these: the person or persons named in this warrant or commission which shall issue, are to be bound by an oath never to affix this stamp to any instrument, except in the presence and by the express command of his Majesty. Rut this is not the only check we shall have upon these commissioners, lor we propose they should not have the authority to affix the royal signature to any instrument or document until the intents and nature of that instrument or document shall have been indorsed. upon it, and signed by three Cabinet ministers named ju the bill. Now, my lords, if I were to stop here, and frame no further security, I consider that there would be no rational appre- hension of any practical evil; but we do go farther; we propose that a stamp should be prepared for the put pose, and kept ill the custody of certain high officers, and it is not to be affixed to any instru- ment except in their presence, which they are to attest. These are the securities; if any noble lord thinks he can add anything to their number and force, we shall be happy to receive his suggestions. In the first place you will observe, my lords, that the persons to whom the power is delegated are only authorised lo use it in the King's presence, ami by his Majesty's express command, else would they be guilty of a high misdemeanor, for which they would be liable to the severest punishment. Next we have them bound by the obligation of an oath. Then we have the farther security of their not being able to affix the stamp to any instrument, unless its intents aud nature be indorsed upon it, aud attested by the signatures of three Cabinet ministers, and if it be uot so indorsed, the instru- ment is null and void; while, lastly, the stamp is lo be kept iu the custody of certain high officers of the stale, in whose presence it must be affixed. Thus, my lords, I submit is all forgery rendered absolutely impossible ; and I conceive that every precaution which prudence, or even the most jealous care, could dictate, has been taken to guard against abuse. Besides, it is not meant that this should supersede the authority of the sign manual, for there is an express clause, declaring tl at his Majesty may, as usual, and according to the accustomed form affix his name to any instrument or document requiring the sign manual, and that this signature shall have the same effect as if the act had not been passed. My lords, I have now stated concisely and distinctly the mode in which his Majesty's servants propose to provide for this exigency, and the securities by which it is to be guarded from abuse. I have adhered closely to the subject, avoiding all topics which might provoke discussion, for 5 think the bill had better now be read for the first time— laid upon the table— printed, and distributed to the members of the house without further delay. We feel that the matter is one of the utmost delicacy and importance, and that circumstances require that it should be pressed forward with all speed compatible with the forms of the houses. Giving, therefore, fhe best counsel aud advice of which we are capable, we propose that the bill should be read a second time to- morrow ; and we also suggest the suspending of llie standing orders, so that it may be passed through its remaining stages as speedily as possi blc. Indeed, I see no reason why the bill should not be passed through all its remaining stages to- morrow. My lords, it has been suggested by a noble Earl that we should search for precedents, and appoint a committee for this purpose. On two occasions in the Regency there were committees; and for my part I see no reason why a committee may not sit to- morrow, and their labours may be made concurrent with the progress of the bill. These labours may throw some additional light upon the subject; but I certainly, after all my own researches, and the results of the researches of others, do not expect that any material information can be appended to that which has been already procured. But at the same time, if any noble lord choose to move for a committee I shall not object. His lordship then put the question from the wool- sack, that the bill be read a first time. The bill was then read a first time; and the second reading was, after a short discussion, fixed for Thursday. Earl GREY moved a committee to report upon precedents for furnishing the royal signature in cases requiring the sign manual. The committee to sit to morrow ( Wednesday).— The motion was agreed to, and the following members were no- minated :— The Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the Dukes of Montrose, Welling- ton, and Devonshire, the Marquissft of Lansdown, Hertford, and Camden, Earls Grey, Eldon, and Caernarvon, Lord Viscount Sidmoulh, Lords Hol- land and Wharncliffe, the Archbishops of Canter- bury and York, and the Bishop of London. the poor sufferer breathed her last on Tuesday morning. Her brother, Mr. Thomas " Bradley, surgeon, of Kidderminster, was sent for during the ivight, and it must be a great satisfaction to the distressed family, that every tiling which the most consummate skill could suggest was done by the medical gentlemen present. It is impossible to speak loo highly of the character of this lamented young lady. She was in her 25th year— an ac- complished and interesting companion— a most affectionate kind- hearted daughter and sister— the delight of a numerous aud highly- respectable circle of friends— and to the destitute poor of her neigh- bourhood, the alleviator of their miseries, and the frequent contributor to their wants. The feelings ofthe distressed family at such a loss may be more easily imagined than described. Our last accounts speak favourably of Miss Bradley, and we trust, ere long, to have the pleasure to announce her perfect recovery. It is a most extraordinary coincidence, that the 11th of May— the day oil which the lamented lady left this world for a better — was also the wedding- day of her grand- mother and mother, nnd the birth- day of a most amiable sister, who died some years since of a decline, at the age of 19. Another circumstance, too, con- nected with this unfortunate affair is this:— It appears the family vault is in the centre aisle of Clent church, in a village in Staffordshire. A morning or two previously to the Miss Bradley's leaving home to pay their visit to Chadwhich, a conversation arose at the breakfast table on the subject of dreams, when the deceased remarked she had had a most extraordinary one—" She imagined her three brothers and her uncle were assembled in Clent church; I thought, she added, / iDas with them, and yet, strange to say, 1 WAS NOT with them." When her funeral took place, her three brothers and her uncle attended as mourners, and thus was her dream remarkably verified—- the body indeed was present, but the spirit had ascended to the God who gaveit.— An inquest was held on the body on Thursday se'uuigbt, before Thomas Hallen, Esq. and a most respectable Jury, when, after nearly three hours deliberation, it being considered the gig horse was somewhat in fault by backing, a verdict of accidental death was returned; at the same time the Coroner gave the carter a most severe reprimand, and fined him 10s. for riding iu the cart. • AN APPARITION. [ From Warner's " Literary Recollections."] " My sincere respect for the memory of the licv. Joseph Townsend, would, were I to follow its impulse, lead me into a length of remark upon his character and attainments, incompatible with the nature of my work : 1 will therefore close this biographical skctch, with the communication of a very singular fact, related to me, in the first instance hy him ; hut which has since been confirmed, by a voucher scarcely to be resisted— an indisputably true report of Dr. Alsop's viva voce declaration oh his dying bed. " Lord William Petty was the third son of the old Marquess of Latisdowne, and brother to the present highly- gifted Lord of Bowood. He had attained the age of seven or eight years; as remarkable for the precocity of his understanding, as he was unfortunate in the delicate state of his constitutional health. The Marquess, called to London, by his parliamentary duties, had left the child at Bowood, for the winter, with Mr. Jervis, his tutor, and suitable domestics. The late Dr. Priestley, also, the Marquess's librarian, made one of the party. On an ill- omcn'd day, beautiful and brilliant, but intensely cold, the game- keeper, in compliance with Lord William's request, took the lad before him on horseback. His Lordshi[ rode with his waistcoat open, and chest exposed ; and an inflammation on the lungs was the immediate consequence of Ihis incaution. On the first appear- ance of indisposition, Mr. Alsop, of Cnlnc, the family apothecary ( himself much attached to the child), was summoned to attend his Lordship. His treatment promised a favourable result, and after a few days, he left him, in the forenoon, apparently out of danger. Towards evening, however, the symptoms becoming decidedly worse, the family were alarmed ; and Mr. Jervis thought it right to call for Mr. Alsop's imme- diate assistance. It was night before this gentleman reached Bowood ; but an unclouded moon showed every object in unequivocal distinctness. Mr. Alsop had passed through the Lodge Gate, and was pro- ceeding to the house, when, to his utter astonishment, he saw Lord William coming towards him, in all the buoyancy of childhood, restored, apparently to health and vigour.—" I am delighted, my dear Lord," he exclaimed, " to see you ; hot, for Heaven's sake, go immediately within doors; it is death to you to be here at this time of night." The child made no reply ; but, turning round, was quickly out of sight. Mr. Alsop, unspeakably surprised, hurried to the house. Here, all was distress and confusion : for, Lord William had expired a few minutes before he reached the portico. " The sad event being, with all speed, announced to the Marquess of Lansdowne, in London, orders were soon received at Bowood for the interment of the corpse, and the arrangement of the funeral procession. The former was directed to take place at High- Wick- liam, in the vault which contained the remains of Lord William's mother : fhe latter was appointed to halt at two specified places, during the two nights on which it would be on the road. Mr. Jervis and Dr. Priestley attended fhe body. On the first day of the melancholy journey, the latter gentleman, who had hitherto said little on the subject of the appearance to Mr. Alsop, suddenly addressed his companion, with considerable emotion, in nearly these words. " There are some very singular circumstances connected with this event, Mr. Jervis; and a most remarkable coin- cidence, between a dream of the late I- ord William, and our present mournful engagement. A few weeks ago', as 1 was passing hy his room door one morning, he called me to his bedside. * Doctor,' said he, * what is" your christian name ?'—' Surely,' said I,' you know it is Joseph.'—' Well, then,' replied he, in a lively manner, ' if you are a Joseph, you can interpret a dream for me, which I had last night. I dreamed, Doctor, that I set out upon a long journey ; that I stepped the first night at Hungerford; whither 1 went without touching the ground : that I flew from thence to Salt Ilill, where 1 remained the next night; and arrived at High- Wickham, on the third day; where my dear Mamma, beautiful as an angel, stretched out her arms, and caught me within them. —" Now," continued the Doctor, " these are precisely the places where the dear child's corpse will remain on this and the succeeding night, before we reach his mother's vault, which is finally to receive it.' make no further remark on this singular narrative, than to assure the reader of my own solemn belief of the truth of all its particulars." at supper. On this evening, when this man was, called to supper, he said he could not eat, and talked of . going immediately to bed. Immediately after supper, however, he entered the steward's room ( where he had the privilege of taking his meals) in a state of agitation, complaining of being very warm ( although it was a very cold night), and said that he had been running, and had dislocated his atiele. As he entered the house, the Earl was descending the stairs, and his Lordship was a witness to his falling down, and crying out, " Oh, I have dislocated my ancle!" Tile officer was of opinion that this was a ruse; for a ledge of lead which projected from the wall about midway between the window of her Ladyship's dressing- room and the garden underneath was bent down just where the thief had descended, and had evidently been caused by something having fallen upon it, as the officer believed, by the foot of the thief. This, and the other circumstance of the prisoner's absence at supper, and the finding of one of the chamber candlesticks, used by the servants, on the ledge above described, were not deemed sufficient to warrant an accusation against tiie person at this time ; and after some further ineffectual attempts lodiscover the thief or property, the officer left the hall. After some days it was remarked that the person in question frequently visited Ihe small garden described above, and seemed to court the good- will of the man who had the care of it, and whom, previously, hC had treated as one quite beneath his notice. He often asked this man w hen he would prepare this or that plot of ground for his summer vegetables; and seemed to be very anxious in his manner of making these inquiries. While things remained thus, the head gardener, unexpectedly, ordered part of the garden to be prepared for the potatoes; and to do this it was necessary to remove the artichokes. The man set to work, and commenced digging up ihe roots of the artichokes, and in a very short time, to his great surprise, he turned up a butterfly— not a poor IVail worm, but one formed of emeralds and diamonds, and worth £ 1,501'). The man threw down his spade, and, having locked the garden door, went aiid brought some of the household to the place, where, thrust carelessly just beneath the surface of the soil, they found the whole of their lady's jewels, with the exception of two finger rings, of minor value, compared with the rest of the trinkets. They appeared to have been pushed into the earth by the hand, and not having any wrapper of paper, or even a handkerchief, they had become black. In addition to this circumstance above narrated, it was discovered that a few days before the robbery her Ladyship's maid had been display ing the jewels— it is believed, merely out of a spirit of ostentation, to several of the servants, amongst whom was the person alluded to, and about the time the robbery was committed, the lady's maid went to her Ladyship's dressing- room door, but could not enter, the key having been taken from the outside of the door where she had left it, and the door locked ou the inside. The individual suspected was now taken into custody, and after undergoing several examinations before Mr. Mans- field and the other resident Magistrates, it was their opinion, that although there was a tolal absence of direct proof, there was a chain of cor- roborative suspicious circumstances, which war- ranted them iu committing the prisoner for trial. THE ENGLISH CARDINAL — Accounts from Ro ne, under date of April 6, state, that the conferring of a Cardinal's hat oil the Rev. Dr. Weld has occa- sioned no little stir amongst our countrymen in that city, aud has been received with warm expres- sions of joy by the Roman Catholic portion of them. From the address delivered on this occasion by his Holiness, in the secret consistory held in the Quiri- nal, the following passage is extracted : —' Venerable brethreu! we do not doubt but that we are this day to adopt a measure which will prove in the highest degree acceptable to you ; inasmuch as we propose to raise to the station which you occupy, individuals who appear to us worthy of the rank of Cardinals, by their virtues, as well as by the services which they have rendered to the church and the sacred chair. Our first selection falls upon the venerable brother, Dr. Thomas Weld, Bishop of Amyclea, and eoudjntor of the Bishop of Kingston, in Upper Canada. Eminent from liis descent, and related to some of the' fir- st English families, he possessed a father peculiarly distinguished, amongst other ex- cellent qualities, for his pious munificence; it was his merit, when a number of godly persons had been unhappily driven from their houses, not only to receive and support them, but to present jhem with a spacious mansion, in which a consider- able number of youths of the most illustrious Catholic families in England receive the best in- struction in religion, manners, learning, and science. But the pious generosity of his excellent parent did not confine itself to this act aloue. He erected a new monastery for the reception of the inonks of Latrappe, w ho quilted France for the English soil, and a house for that of the nuns of Sales, in which two of his own daughters have taken the vows; besides defraying the expense of performing divine service in several churches. Emulating the immea surable munificence of his never- to- be- forgotten parent, our reverend brother, Thomas, Bishop of Amyclea, has been lavish of his means in promoting the increase, influence, and dignity of the Catholic religion, and affording aid and protection to the needy. Such have been the merits which have rendered tis the more anxious to raise him to the rank, which you enjoy, and to afford an additional occasion for congratulation to Ihe Catholics of Eng- land to that which they have derived from the late enactment of more kindly laws by their legislature, an event for which we otter thanksgiving to our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of all good things.' His F^ minence Cardinal Weld is on his way to England ; and his Eminence's scarlet stockings are actually in the county of Essex. His Eminence will louk uncommonly rural riding about Dorset- shire iu a red cocked hat. The novelty will delight the ladies, and, before he goes into retirement, we have no doubt lie w ill be the lion of all Loudon. pltsjcellaneoao intelligence. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT. On Monday, the 10th ult. as the two Miss Brad- ley's, of Brant Hill, daughters of the late Mr. Bradley, surgeon, Kidderminster, were returning from Chadwhich House, near Bromsgrove, in the car of their friend, Miss White, they were inet iu a narrow lane leaJitig from the house to the turnpike road by a cart and three horses, the man and boy belonging to which being at the time riding in the cart. ' Flic second horse was a young one, and when the car came in sight set off at a gallop, the car horse, alarmed at the rapid approach of the others, instantly backed ; the consequence was, the shaft ofthe cart entered between the spokes of the car- wheel, aud dashed it with great violence to the earth, the cart at the same time falling on its side. Both ladies were thrown out, Miss Bradley being very seriously bruised by the vehicle falling oil her, and Miss Elizabeth Bradley receiving such dread- ful internal injuries, that she died the next morning. Mr: White, who was driving, we are happy to slate, escaped without any serious hurt. The sufferers were immediately conveyed buck to Chadwhich, and Mr. Horton, sen. surgeon, of Bromsgrove, having been sent for, quickly arrived. It was not at first imagined Miss E. Bradley was seriously injured; but, iu the course of a few hours, the fatal truth was apparent, and, as we said before, LADY SOUTHAMPTON'S JEWELS. Information having been forwarded to Sir Richard Birnie, about two months ago, of the robbery of Lady Southampton's jewels, Bishop, the officer, was despatched to Morndou Hall, the scat of the Earl of Southampton, in Northamptonshire, for the purpose of endeavouring to discover the authors of the crime, or some part of the valuable property which had been stolen. The jewels in question, said to be of Ihe value of £ 5,000, were kept by her ladyship in a desk, upon a table in her dressing, room. The windows of the dressing, as also those of her bed room, opened above a small garden, which was chiefly appropriated to the cultivation of Jerusalem artichokes and other vegetables. The thief who perpetrated the robbery had entered the room by the door, and departed throagh the window by means of a rope, which was found fastened within the window, and extending to the garden below. It was the opinion of the officer, after he had become acquainted with all the cir- cumstances, that Ihe robbery had been committed by some person resident in the house. One of the household was a person who was distinguished above his fellows by his noble master and mistress. He was formerly a trumpeter iu one of the regi- ments of Guards, and was au excellent performer on the trumpet and oboe, and his conduct, since entering his Lordship's service, had been uniformly such as to win the respect and particular favour of the family. Upon this person the suspicious of the officer fell, but, when he imparted as much to the Earl, his Lordship scouted the idea, aud would not listen to such an imputation against a person iu whom he placed such confidence as he did in the individual in question ; and the officer incurred no little displeasure for his perseverance in his sus- picions. The officer, however, was convinced of the correctness of the opinion he had formed that the robbery had been committed by one of the servants, and that Ihis person was the only one of the servants against whom circumstances pointed suspicion. The robbery was committed about nine o'clock in Ihe evening-, whilst the servants were AN APPEAL TO THE HOUSE OF LORDS.— It was hut last Wednesday, that we walked into the West- minster Hall, and the silence of the vast area was unbroken, save by the striking of the battledore against the shuttlecock of a child, as the urchin strove, with ridiculous effort, to make the plaything ascend towards the lofty roof, wdiile his utmost strength was insufficient to send it a sixth part of the distance. We pushed forward into the House of Lords, which was sitting to decide appeals. Who is there ( at a distance) that hears of an appeal to the Lords, without attaching to it, in his imagination, some external cir- cumstance of grandeur and importance ? Who . is there that has paid the expense of an appeal, who does not feel that there is nothing trifling in the solemn settlement of his cause ?— grand, uor important, nor solemn. The Lord Chancellor sat upon a crimson cushion at the head of the table in the centre of the apartment, with one leg resting on the knee of the oilier, while two noble Lords sat on the benches to his right, one of them studying The Times newspaper, the other diligently qccnpied with The Morning Herald. Sir Edward Sugden was stating, in a calm conversational tone, the points of his case at the bar, while Mr. Home sat waiting till liis turn for reply— two attorneys were in attendance with bags of papers, and there were, besides, three listeners, who appeared to be country strangers, come in to look at the House. Such was the imposing appearance of an appeal to the House of Lords.— Dublin Literary Gazette. THE STEAM CARRIAGE.— The New- road, in the vicinity of Portland place, was electrified on Tuesday, at five o'clock, by the appearance of a steam carriage, which threaded all the difficulties of a crowded passage without any apparent impulse. There was neither smoke nor noise— there was no external force or palpable direction— the carriage seemed to move by its own volition, passing by horses without giving them the least alarm ; describing half circles round the corners ; trying short races with stanhopes and cabriolets, and flying with the same rapid and steady pace over the most unequal ground. Five gentlemen and a lady were quite at their ease as passengers— one gentleman directed the moving principle, and another appeared to sit unconcerned behind, but his object was ascertained fo he the care of the fuel and water. It was altogether a startling and uncommon sight; but it was evidently a complete triumph of the principle, and the success of these carriages was, in the opinion of the spectators, completely established. The carriage was lightly and conveniently built, not larger or heavier than a moderate phaeton. It went without the least vibration, and preserved a balance in the most complicated movements. The pace was varied from five to twelve miles an hour according to pleasure, and the stoppage or accelerated progress, was effected with the quickness of thought- It was amusing to hear the cries of wonder which burst from the crowd, and the exclamations of delight which escaped from several ladies, who stopped their carriages to witness the exhibition. It was still more entertaining to mark the rage of the Paddington omnibus and stage drivers, who lingered with curses to behold a coach in motion without guide or horses. Rival whips reconciled their differences to vow vengeance to the march of intellect; and many a hackney coachman sighed as it passed along at his own approaching end, when juries will return no other verdict on dead drivers, " than died by steam." The horses, though the most interested in these innovations, seemed to lie the least affected by them. There was neither fire, smoke, or noise to terrify them, and they preserved an equanimity foreign to their masters' bosoms— even some donkeys that were present were equally thoughtless of futurity, and there was not one symptom of discontent to justify an apprehension that, a steamer on the road would be a terror to any quadruped. After an exhibition of half an hour the carriage went into a yard in Albany- street. — London Paper. It is asserted, on good authority, that his Grace of Northumberland will be the last nobleman who will fill the office of Lord Lieutenant. The con- templated changes are, as we announced some months ago, the appointment of a Secretary for Ireland, who is to have, in virtue thereof, a seat in the Cabinet, and in whom is to be vested all the responsibility of the Government, and all the patronage of the country. In addition to this arrangement, Lords Lieutenants of counties, the same as ill England, are to be appointed, with an express stipulation that they are to be constantly resident in their counties; consequent upon this arrangement, all the present commissions of the peace are to be called in, aud new ones issued by the respective Lords Lieutenants of the counties. By this means all cause of invidiousness in a radical reform of the Irish magistracy will be avoided.— Dublin Evening Post. We can state, upon the most positive authority, that, within the last few days, the Romish Bishop of a district in the province of Leinstcr— we can, if necessary, give the name, and all the circumstances attendant upon the transaction— refused to pay the legal parish cess, and for these notable, conciliating, and emancipatory reasons:— First, Because part of it was demanded for the repairs of an edifice in which the doctrines of an untrue religion were inculcated. Secondly, For that a portion of the assessment was for elements— bread and wine, which were, in his ( the Lord Bishop's) opinion " desecrated to unholy purposes."— Dublin Ev. Mail.

On Wednesday evening. Dr. Wilkinson gave his second lecture in Bath on the non- conducting proper- tics of asbestos, as practically applied by Professor Aldini, in his fire- proof apparatus.' The apparatus itself was exhibited, and Dr. Wilkinson after putting on one of the gloves, held a red hot mass of iron in his hand nearly five minutes, without inconvenience. Two persons, who walked on the 16th ult. from London, over Clapham Common, the Waste of Wandsworth, through Tooting, and Milcham, to Carshalton, noted down nearly 400 houses, consisting of mansions and u country boxes," that are without tenants, and many of which are absolutely tumbling down for want of suitable and necessary repairs. The number of unoccupied houses in the metro- polis almost exceeds credibility. At the west end of the town, in Upper and Lower Brook- street alone, there are upwards of 25 " To be Let," and nearly the same number in Upper and Lower Grosvenor- street. In fact, in whatever direction the pedestrian travels at this end of the town, he meets with similar an- nouncements. At Islington and parts adjacent it is even worse, and many houses which, only a short time ago fetched 00 guineas per annum, now stand empty, though the proprietors have offered to reduce the rents more than 50 per cent.; none but houses in capital situations seem to find tenants, and these even at reduced rents. . Such indeed is the depreciation in value iu this kind of property, that should the present state of things continue there must he a very considerable falling off in the amount of the Assessed Taxes. ACCELERATION or THE LONDON MAILS.— Itis said, that an alteration in the London mails generally is contemplated. The mails are to be dispatched from the General Post Office an hour earlier than at present; and it is also intended to save time by shortening the stages, and increasing the speed. HAWKERS AND PEDLARS.— An important decision was given in the Court of King's Bench, on Saturday, in the case Rex v. Machnight. This case arose out of the conviction of Ivie Macknight, servant to Mr. Grey, tea- dealer, of Dudley, in the penalty of £ 10, for hawking tea without a licence. On appeal against the conviction, ( which was heard at the Worcester Easter Sessions, 1829,) it was shewn that the defend- ant went to the villages in the neighbourhood of Dudley, once a fortnight, to receive orders for tea, and to deliver that which had been ordered on his former visit. The Court of Sessions confirmed the conviction, subject to a case for the decision of the superior Court, on the point whether this was hawk- ing and peddling, so as to require a licence under the 50th George III. The Court was of opinion, tint the Act applied only to those who carried about the goods to be sold and delivered immediately, and not to those who carried goods for delivery pursuant to previous orders and contract, otherwise licence would lie neccssary to legalize the transactions of travellers for the London houses.

BEGGARS.— The method adopted at Farnliam to prevent annoyances by vagrants, has been very simple, and is so efficacious that, none are to be seen there. A hand- bill, of which the following is a copy, is kept posted up on the outskirts of the town, and Ihe inhabitants st rictly refuse all relief except such as that the bill offers.

It is spread, and not very thinly spread cither, over an area of 1,372,450 square miles. It is not a delicate but a hardy plant, easily and cheaply reared ; like the vine in temperate regions, or the pepper and coffee plants in tropical ones, it prefers the acclivities of hills, where food for man cannot be grown, or where, if grown, it would be cheaper to import it. The English, Americans, and others, receive their supply from oue portion ofthe empire; the Rus- sians from a second ; and the Asiatic neighbours of China from a third. Two centuries ago the use— almost the name— of tea was unknown ill Europe and America. All lhat is now consumed, therefore, by the European race, good and bad, is produced by the soil of China beyond what the soil of China produced previous to that era- Five and forty years ago the consumption of all Europe and all America ( Russia excluded) did not exceed 18,940,665 lbs. weight. On the average of the three years ending with 1826- 7, the English and Americans alone exported teas from Canton to the amount of 43,940,669 lbs. indicating an increase in the consumption of Europe and America, exclusive of the supply furnished by Dutch, Danes, French, and Swedes, and of the supply to European posses- sions in the East, of above 130 per cent. In 1784 the actual consumption of Great Britain and Ireland was short of 13,000,000 lbs.; it is now very near 28,000,000 lbs. On the average of the four years ending- with 1793, the actual consumption of the United States was but 2,164,180 lbs. Five and thirty years iatcr, or on the average of the years 1827 and 1828, it was 6,141,268 lbs. or had in- creased by 183 per cent. EXTRAORDINARY HABITS OF THE BIRDS OF BRAZIL.— The birds here were more numerous, and their notes more cheerful, tliau ill the dense forests we had passed. The most usual and attrac- tive is Joao de Barros, or John of the Clay, because he always builds a regular house of it. We saw this constantly, in shape like an Irish cabin, built on the upper side of a large branch of a tree, not pendant, but erect. It consisted of an edifice, with an arched roof, having a corridor or porch, with a door leading to au inner apartment. With a singu- lar instinct, the door was always found on the side from which the wind less frequently blew ; and the edifice was so strong and well constructed, that oue has been known to last its ingenious architect many winters. The bird is about the size of a lark, or larger, and is sometimes called the yellow thrush. It is exceedingly familiar, and generally found near ranchos and villages. Whenever we ap- proached, we saw John clinging to the branch of a tree, in aii upright position, announcing our coming with a shrill, lively note, as if he was the warder placed there to warn the inhabitants of the arrival of a stranger. This cheerful salutation, however, was not confined to human habitations, but lie frequently accosted us far from the haunts of men ; and his lively note of welcome often met our ear in the most solitary places.— Another familiar and cheerful bird was the Ben te vi, so called from the perfect accuracy with which he pronounces these words. He is about the size of a* sparrow, aud dis- tinguished by a circle of white round his head, with a yellow belly. Whenever we passed, he put his head out of the bush, and peeping at us from under the leaves, he said, " ben te vi"—( oh, 1 saw you!) with an arch expression, as if he had ob- served something which he could tell if lie pleased.
