The late Dr. WRIGHT, an eminent Medical Practitioner at STAF- FORD, applied himself diligently many years in endeavouring to find an effectual Remedy for the above alarming and ( too frequently) obstinate Dis- eases. After a series of. experiments, much labour, and perseverance, he at length produced the PEARL OINTMENT, which, iu a long, and very extensive practice, he found to be almost invariably successful. The present Possessor, the Doctor's Grandson, has been in the habit of preparing and distributing it ( gratuitously) to the afflicted for many yearsvwi| h the same success, until at length the applications for it became so numerous from different parts ofthe king- dom, that he was compelled either to abandon the preparation of it altogether ( from the great expense which he incurred) or introduce it to the Public on sale. At Ihe earnest entreaties of many persons of respectability, who had witnessed its beneficial ef- fects, and after the most mature consideration ou his own part, the Possessor has decided upon the latter plan. The extraordinary efficacy of this Ointment lias been fully proved for forty years ; in many inve- terate cancerous cases it has effectually cured those who had pieviously laboured under the agonizing- apprehensions of surgical operations. It is entirely free from offensive smell ; and from the harmless nature of the ingredients, it may be applied to children of the most tender years. It is introduced under the sanction and recommendation of Medical Gentlemen of great eminence aud respectability ; and around each Pot wi 1.1 be found most satisfactory Testi- monials of its efficacy, and also a few ( of ihe many) Affidavits of Persons who. Iiave been cured of the most inveterate cutaneous and olher diseases ; which, it is presumed, are the surest proofs of its claims to general confidence. In conclusion, the Public are solemnly assured that this Ointment is totally unconnected with any species of quackery.

He was happy . in Ciufip| r their Lordships' attention lo the former, fo | ive an opportunity to the Noble and Learned Lord ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ v ho now occupied the Woolsack, and who had been ' ^ 4o long; an ornament to the other House of Parlia- ment, as he had no iloubt he would to their Lord- siijpsVan. opportunity of explaining' that which had hrep the. subject of a misunderstanding- in another place ( see 4lh page), if the Noble Lord thought proper to avail himself of it. The petition coincided with his ( Lafl GtosVohor^ opirjioris on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. Would to God that the principle had prevailed many years ago, and thatli Mstem of economy had been enforced, by which the present distressed stale of the country would have b<; eh a voided ! Early after the termination of the war, which had left a lasting . peace, he had prayed and- humbled himself before the then existing" author- rifies, to entreat them to adopt a judicious retrench Jnent. But they rejected his advice; they spurned it with Contempt. He hail entreated I Item to he economical, even to the ^ uick, but they were deaf to iiii remonstrance, . and the situation in which the e. untry now stood wns the result. With regard, to the other petition, he need only syy, that he had h; en long of opinion that slav ery should; be abolished in all his Majesty's dominions. ' LIE LORD CHANCELLOR said lie had listened vvith great atteniion to the observations of the No'de j arlon the presentation of those petiiions, the sub- j'' etof both of which were, m point of importance, whether with regard to the interests of the country or the public duty of a statesman, paramount to all 6ther . subjects? before their Lordships. Many oppor- tunities would, however, occur, before the session wiuj closed, for the delivery, of his opinions, and by w hich the necessity of his now occupying their Lord- ships upon them would be/. precluded. ' lhat his optuion? were well known to hjs Noble Friend was t vident from the statement of the Noble Earl; and that they were known to their Lordships as they V: ere to many of Uis fellow- subjects, he hoped, as fhey wDuld in'that iv< jard be to h s ad vantage. He i egret ted that any thing' like misapprehension or mis- ^{ aten. ient had g<; ne abroad with respect to his senti- i » ents,. wishes, aud opinions on both of these great subjects of urgent; and vital importance, ami he ti; listed that there were very few who knew so little of" him as to suspect that an abatement had taken place, or that even an iota of his zeal had diminished. It. was painful to him, and the- more so a, s it was the first time, he had . the honour of addressing" their Jr'ordships out of any judicial question, that lie should l ave to treat. Of a subject every way of so. little i n. por. taijce as himself. .. Ncve. rihe. iess, as his Noble 1' riend had said, that misstatements had been made— Liat misunderstanding existed— and that remarks had 1) en urged, in another House, unfriendly to his con- sistency— he would take that opportunity of setting i ght the one and answering the other. Should lie shrink from, or let him say decline, saying a word f. ut of respect to their Lordships, or rather to himself, - should he, lie repeated, decline the opportunity lhat was thus given to him, he might be supposed to shrink, not from an explanation, hut from an attack, fc'till it sufficed to say that he bore with perfect • quality of mind any thing- that had been stated on 111* subject in any quarter. He was not surprised that a person so respectable, so learned, and of so luucli talent, had fallen, through ignorance of him, into error, and had declared himself astonished at hii conduct. He repeated that lie was not surprised that persons should have fallen iiito ignorance, - tor they Could be ho niore astonished-— for that was the way in which this remark ( he did not, know whether ht should say attack) was made— than lie himself was, JiFhis having consented to his present, elevation. He could only say that he shared the astonishment with them, and they could not have been more stricken vith wonder at his having', even at, the eleventh hour, Been prevailed upon to quit his station of Representative of the county of York, than lie him- self was. Up to that time, when he was charged with making- a statement uhicii he never made, but which had been called his intention of never sepa- rating- himself from that county, he had no more conception of b< it>£ prevailed on to quit it than he Lad, at the time he spoke, of going back to the other House. He need not say that, in changing: his si u- fc.' ion, his principles remained unchanged and that, when he accepted the office which his Majesty had been pleased to Confide to his care, fie took it from the conviction that, so far from disabling- him to render his duty to the country, he could be the better enabled to perform it. That which had dazzled him most, in the prospect, of his eleVali6n was not the gew- jr'aw splendour with which it was surrounded, but ine chance which it gave him of honestly and con sislently— for lie could rely on his horiesty , and con- sistency was an absolute necessity' of " his nature-— of being able to Carry his intentions into eft' ct. There- fore, as he knew he was honest and consistent, the joint in whicli the (> Vat Seal dazzled his eyes, and ii. iduced him to quit the station, as- a Representative of a county, which, to an Englishman was one of I he most proud, was that it Seemed to hold out to liim ihe grateful prospect that, in serving the King, lie should more effectually have the power to serve the country.

According lo Ihe Paris papers of Wednesday, the public mind in that country appears to be a good « V » I dU'urlied by report* of warlike preparations fnakiug hy Austria, Russia, and Prussia. Even Spain tirges the court of France to take vigorous measures against the constitutionalists, cr to assure itself of the alternative of seeing an army upon its frontiers, to fci- rvc lis a rallying point for the Bourbonists and disaffected, who are still very numerous throughout liie . country — The Chamber of Peers was exprcted to report upon tbe case of Poliguac on the 1st of iicxl month, and it is thought that Ihe plrtidiiigs will com- mence ou the Jfith, und that the proceedings will last About eight days. The Monifvur contains an Or- dinance as to Ihe pensions of the Clergy. The Salaries of Cardinals are cut down from 100,( 100 francs n- year f, ft0,0U0, and the expenses' of their installa- tions ore repealed.— Count Kergorlay, formerly Member of Ihe Chamber of Peers, has been found Hitilly of a libel tipntt the present king's title to the throne ami the jurisdiction ofthe House of Peers, and sentenced to six. months'imprisonment and a fine of five hundred francs. The Lditorof Ihe Quolidieinu- Las also been found guilty of a libel to the effect that the King and Ro* yal I'amily had quitted Paris in consequence of the disturbances in the night of the JSth ult. He was sentenced to pay a fine of fifty francs and to six months* imprisonment. This is Ihe first operation of the trial by juiy for offences uf the |) ress. By ( he Brussels papers last received it is already known that the National Congress lias determined to i dopt n- Constitutional Monarchy, as tbe best form of tii'V. ernriieiit for Belgiiun, by a large umjyrily. Mr. A" an de Weyer, the late Commissioner to this counlry from the Provisional Gove nnient, w armly advocated 11 republic, and c. pressed his sentiments with great leal against the " detested House of <' range Nassau. M. Rubaulx, another violent advocate for republic- ii lism, | rotrsted again*! the decision in the name of I be Belgian nalion, and proposed, after the n tt: ii> er of the ' National Convetitii n in Ihe first Hevolution in J ranee, to refer Ihe question to the people ; the Con- gress, however, decided against ( lie proposal. The liext question will be as to tbe person who is to be called to the throne. The Belgian pa pi r< already treat the txcllision ofthe House of Orange as settled. I he King of Holland has < ounleimanded the blockade whit- h lie proi lainied against flu ' ports of Belgium, and the ConittiuniCatiifn belweeii the two Slatra is, for the present, perfectly free. An armistice iiad been agreed upon lor an indefinite time; and tmpes are enlerlaiiied thai the differences tnay yet be lirouyht to an amicable conclusion. Mr I> inely, an attorney, convicted at the sjirin" Worcester assizes of a conspiracy to defraud a Mr. Marshall of JE20P0 which he bild as trustee, was brought up for judgment in the Court of Kin » ' « Bench on Monday, and sentenced to eight montiis1 imprisonment in Worcester gaol, and at the terminal- lioiiof his imprisonnient. to be struck off Ihe mil of fiftoriiejs. ' J he defendant, in miiigalion, staled that he intended to have repaid the im. iv y, bill the Court said that wait only a delusion, wjiiclr every person entertained in Coiuuiitting. cfinje tu » ( ifle conscieucc. The Belgian Chamber has decided by a majority of 101 to 28 that Ihe house of Nassau is for tver ex- cluded from the throne of Flanders Tbe next question will be, who is to be King? Tbe Morning Chronicle hints that they ought lo advertise, and re- commends them to look out for tbe cheapest article in the line. We rather think the sovereignty of the new monarch will be precarious. In the mean while, however, tbe northern nations are not looking ou idly... letters from the f. ontivrs in ( lie neighbourhood of Macstricht, brought by the mail f to day, contain the following particulars :— 11 The journals of Liege amuse their readers with accounts from Aix- ta- Chapellc, which announce that the Prus- sian troops had marched from that city with all speed for the interior of the kingdom, on account of the disturbances said lo have taken place at Berlin. Nothing of all Ihis is known at Aix- la- Chapelle. Some troops have left lhat place, but only two companies, which are gone to Julier-, in order to lessen the burden of quartering the soldiers at Aix la- Chapelle, w here, however, there remains a garrison of 1500 men. Meantime Ihc infantry of the three Prussian corps in the Hhenish provinces may be estimated at. 75,000 men, and the force may lie doubled in a few ( lays by calling out the organised and disciplined Landwehr. • Inliers, Cologne, and Cohlentz, are in a good state of defence, and provisioned for six months. The forti- fications continue to be strengthened. The troops, of which Ibe cavalry und artillery are particularly fine, are daily exercised. ' The French themselves, of whom there are great numbers in the Rhenish provinces, cannot refuse to acknowledge lhal these troops may be placed on a. par with the hest that Napoleon ever commanded. The soldiers are animated by the best spirit, and it may be affirmed ( hat the in- habitants of Ihe llhenish provinces are well disposed." While the preparations of Prussia are thus formid- able, Russia is not idle. We have already announced that she lias put her troops in motion from the borders of the Black Sea towards Germany — has collected additional hordes of Cossacks, and ordered the wlnde Polish army under the command of Constanline to be in immediate readiness to move. How Ihe Em peror will feel when he hears the decision of exclud- ing bis brother in law, Ihe Prince of Orange, from a throne guaranteed to liim by all Europe is not hard to conjecture, when we learn that all the influence of the Russian agents in Brussels was employed to over awe the Congress. Another of his hrothers- in- law, Ihe Duke of Saxe Weimar, is on the frontiers, if not actually in the territory of Belgium wilh an army of 5000 men ; and the Dutch give out that he has a design upon recovering Vanloo. At Maestricht, Ihc Governor is determined to hold out his garrison to the last; and when a Belgian envoy was sent in to him on some pretence! he was about to hang him for a spy, as, in all probability, he was. The Bi- lgian army amounts now to 24,000 men, ready to lake the field : und the Dutch forces, by sea and land, are Considerably recruited. rrhis looks warlike. In France a war is looked for without much display of apprehension. Marshal Soult has put the army, in all its departments, into the best possible condition ; and it is sui I is about to send an army of observation of 150,000 men lo the Rhine, under the command of Marshal Gerard. Austria has not yet stirred, but the late Hungarian levy of 50,000 men seems as if she thought it right not to be unprepared in'case of need. It is said lhat ( lie . Court of Russia has sent circulars to all the European Courts, calling upon them to resist Ihe revolutionary movement.

SHREWSBURY BRA\ VN'.—- Our townsman, Mr. Ha. id, whose superior preparation of this article is so well known, has received an order for a collar of brawn, which is intended for the fable of bis Majesty- Mr. Dcnison, whose attachment to Iteform and Retrenchment has" been" so strikingly exemplified at Liverpool during the past week, has, it is said, received t ie appoii tnicnt of Secretary to tbe Board of Controul under tbe New Ministry! On Tuesday, the 23d of November, the Indepcnd cut Chapel, newly erected in the town of Ludlow, was opened for public worship ; on which occasion two mo4 interesting discourses were delivered, one in the morning, from Genesis i. 27, by the Rev G. Bedford, M. A. of Worcester; anil Ihe oilier ill. the evening, from 2 Cor. t. 20, by the Rev. Dr. Ross, of Kidder- minster.— The devotional parts of the services were conducted by the Rev Messrs. Elborough, Beynon, Lewis, Chapman, and Bidlake ( the stated minister of the chapel).— Tbe fineness of the day was particularly favourable to the attendance, which was both large and respectable, and with which the collections towards the expenses of the building corresponded. The Worcester Journal says— A fire broke out a few days ago on ( he premises of Mr, Thomas Bomford, at Hinton on the Green, near Evesham, in consequence of two children having made a fire in the goose5pen, which communicated to tbe stable adjoining, aiul„ vitli a barn, cottage, and dairy, were coiisinned. The flames were happily prevented spreading to the farm- house by Ibe speedy arrival of the engine , fri| m Evesham, and the truly praiseworthy ex'rtions^ f the labourers fr. im all parts ofthe neighbourhood, whose conduct forms a pleasing contrast to thutoi'. flie s uae classes in the disturbed districts. A fire consumed a barn, a thrashing machine, a rick of straw, and a rick of clover, at Kentchester, I Icre- fordshire, on Thursday night last:— An ' account published in the London Papers, attributes this fire to incendiaries, and speaks of a bad feeling partially existing among the peasantry of that county * but there is good reason to believe the fire was the result of an accident, and in no county are the labourers, generally speaking, better treated, or more contented than in Herefordshire.— The same observation will, we are happy to say, apply to this county. The Hastings Iris says—" On Saturday night, a hay- stack took fire in Crowhurst Park, ( Sussex,) belonging to J. C. Pelham, Esq. the member for Shropshire. Another stack was close to it, but through the great exertions • made by the persons present, it was prevented from taking fire " Special Commissions have been issued in a Supple- mentary Gazette of Saturday, for the trial of the incendiaries and others in the disturbed districts. A detailed account of the recent loss of the St. George Steam Packet, off the Isle of Man, will be found iu another column.— The Prince Llewelyn • Steam Packet will be placed on the station in lieu of the lost vessel; and we have much pleasure in stating that our townsman, Lieut. Tudor, tlie coHimamier of the late St. George, has been appointed to the com- mand of the Prince Llewelyn. It has often been a subject of doubt whether the distance from Liverpool to Manchester could be travelled by a loco- motive engine in the space of one hour. This extraordinary feat was performed on . Monday by the Planet, one of Mr. Stephenson's most approved engines, the time occupied being only sixty minutes, of which two were taken up in oiling and examining the machinery about midway. There were no carriages attached to the engine, the only persons on the tender being tbe engineer, the fireman, and Mr. Williams, the principal clerk in Crown- street station. Several retailers of beer were convicted on Thurs- day last, at tbe Public- office, Birmingham, under the new act, for suffering beer to be drank in their houses after ten o'clock at night. It should be recollected that every seller of beer permitting drunkenness in bis house, is liable under this act to progressive penalties of five and ten pounds for Hie first and second offence, and of fifty pounds und forfeiture of licence for the third offence. This contest commenced on Tuesday.— Mr. Denison was proposed by Col. Bolton, and seconded by Sir John To bin ; and Ml'. Ewart by James Brancker, Esq. seconded by Capt. Colquitt, R. N. At the close of Ihe poll on the first day tbe numbers were— for Mr. Denison 260, Mr. Ewart 248; the difference arising, it is understood, from Mr. Denison's friends having managed to poll Ihe last tally as well as the first, and from one voter from Mr. Ewart's bar having polled for Mr. Denison. On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday, the majority continued ex- actly the same, and at the close of the poll on Mon- day the numbers were— for Mr. Denison 2020— Mr. Ewart 2008. The Liverpool Albion of Monday last says—" We ' were told in the course of the day ( Saturday), and we mention the fact, if it be one, as ainung the memora- bilia of this ever- memorable election, that six free- men polled who had come all the way from Paris to vote for Mr. Ewart. 11 was added, that out of fifteen freemen who were in that city, nine were in favour of Mr. Denison, whose friends had paid them to remain ! Money ( on Saturday) was so plentiful, that it might have been coined for the occasion ; and men, that is, free men, seemed to fall from the clouds. Never, on any previous occasion was so much palm o'l used as on the occasion of this tremendous strug- gle. Of course, some of the precious stuff stuck, by mere accident, to the hands of a few of the persons who had occasion to touch it. We heard of some gentlemen of the canvass having been dismissed by the committees of tbe candidates, for having allowed the oil accidentally to soil their hands. We shall not, we believe, be much above the mark, if we state that, up to the close of the poll on Saturday afternoon, the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS hail been expended in money or contracted in debts by the friends of the rival candidates in this unpre- cedented contest. Of this immense sum not less than £ 15,000 was spent in direct bribes to the voters The aggregate expenditure, on Saturday atone, would not fall shirt of £ 17,000! In corroboration of this statement, we may mention, that a tally often men, who polled for Mr. Denison, received £ 200 for their votes, besides having their " shot" paid ! No doubt similar sums were paid for votes by his anta- gonist." TRUTHS. It is true, that the sum of £ 50,000 bis been ex- pended in the present contest. It is true, that Mr. Denison has, fro- n the experience of the past week, become a convert to the necessity of a radical change in our elective system. It is true, that Mr. Ewart is not a Brougham in oratory, nor Mr. Denison a Canning in eloquence, though he has read that gentleman's election speeches very carefully. It is true, that Mr. Ewart's expenses are borne by the members of his own family. It is true, that Mr. Bolton and the other leading friends of Mr. Denison have had to dip their hands deeper into their pockets than the richest of them expected when they took the honourable gentleman by the hand. | t is true, that the faces of several gentlemen on both sides are longer to- day than they were a week ago. It is true, that certain " influential merchants" wish they had never sought eminence by interfering in electioneering contests. Had they foreseen the con- test that has sprung up, they would rather have paid smart money to get off. It is true, that the burgessei of Liverpool, with some honourable exceptions, are the most venal crew that ever existed. It is true, whoever may be the losing candidate on the present occasion, that lie will supplant General Gascoyne at the next general election.

ELECTIONEERING EXPENDITURE.— There have, since the year 1806, been seven general and three partial elections of persons to represent Liverpool in Parliament. During the same period, there have been 24 elections of gentlemen to fill the office of Mayor. It is not, of course, possible to state the exact sum which has, iu the course of that long period, been expended in the various contests which have taken place for the honour of the representation and of the mayoralty. We have, however, made a rough calculation of the aggregate expenditure, which we shall not over rate, if we state it at the enormous sum of £ 160,000! or nearly £ 7,000 per annum ! All this immense sum has, too, been actually expended on the pure and independent burge- sesnf the enlightened town of Liverpool! The accuracy of our estimate of the probable expenditure during the last 24 years may be inferred from the statement of a few notorious facts. In the year 1806, when Mr, Roscoe was elected in tbe place of Sir B. Tarleton, it cost his friends £ 12,000 to secure his return alone. In the year 1812, when Mr. now Lord Brougham contested this borough with Ihe late Mr. Canning, his friends paid £ 13,000, ( leaving £ 3,000 in disputed bills unpaid,) whilst those of Mr. Canning paid £ 9,000. And, in tbe contest which is now raging, uot less than £ 50,000 have been spent already. Then, with respect to the cost of the elections for Mayor, Messrs. Bullin and Molyneux spent, in the year 1821, not less than from £ 6,000 to £ 7,000 in a contest of four days; and, in the memorable struggle of 1827, between Messrs Alder- men Porter nnd Robinson, the sum of £ 1 V'OO was, probably, expended iu the course of six. We may add, as strongly illustrative of the truth of our first estimate, that, though the election lasted about three hours only, it cost the friends of the late Mr. Hus- kisson little short of the sum of £ 1,000 to secure his return in the month of August last. Verily, the most corrupt borough that ever was disfranchised for its violation of the law was not so corrupt is the borough of Liverpool has been for the last fifty years. Its corruption " is rank; it smells to heaven." If the borough is not disfranchised for the iniquity of its burgesses, there i> neither law nor justice iu the land. VV. ONIONS.

SIR,— The depressed condition of the majority of the farming community, the general scarcity of money, caused ( as many of our most ihinkiug and intelligent members of society consider it) by the violent and unnecessary contraction. of the circulating medium, the now decided deficiency in the wheat, potatoe, and other crops, together with varimu. other circumstances at present absorbing every rational man's attention, induce me to recommend most ear- nestly that an example set on foot by one of our worthy County Magistrates be adopted and acted upon generally throughout the country. At a meeting held at Ke. ry, in tbe county of Montgomery, it was agreed by the Magistrates and oilier inhabitants of the said parish present, that a rate of 5d. in the pound he forthwith raised upon all lands and tenements within the said parish, for the purpose of repairing the Bye Roads therein ; that tbe repair of the said roads be put under the super- intendence of a working surveyor', and that the rate of each respective township be expended under the direction of the resident Magistrates and the surveyor of Ihe said township; also, that the repairs go on no faster than they may be done by labourers who would otherwise he unemployed, and who, in con- sequence, would be under the necessity of applying for parochial relief. Now here 1 beg to observe, that a donbie, perliaps tenfold advantage may arise to fhe land- owner, and to the lund- ocenpier. ^( ... The Bye Roads, which ( in too marty^ iiistaVi^ throughout this country) are at present iiearly ' im- passable, will be improved ; tbe necessitous labourer will be profitably employed, whereby many of the privations which a severe winter brings upon the labourers may be very much abridged. Whether the land- oumers ought, or ought not to raise this sort of fund, 1 shall not say, 4is much must, and of course does, depend upon circumstances; but this I feel justified in saying, that both landlord and tenant ought to bring about some such plan at this important crisis. I am, Sir, your's, & c. A MONTGOMERYSHIRE FARMEE. Tlie Shropshire Hounds meet on Wednesday, Dec. 1st Eaton Ma « cott Friday, Dec. 3d Acton Reynald Saturday, Dec. 4th Boreatton Monday.

The supply of English Wheat is rather more extensive than of late, and there has been a very considerable supply of Flour, but the price of the latter article remains unaltered. In the price of English Wheat we can quote an improvement of Is. per quarter from last Monday's market; and on the Foreign wheat Is. to 2s. per quarter more has been obtained. In the Barley trade great heaviness prevails, and this grain may be quoted Is. to 2s. cheaper than at our last quotation. Oats are also heavy sale, and we think the prices of this day week can be barely supported. Beans and Peas present no alteration, with the exception of White Peas, which are quoted 4s. to 5s. cheaper, and in some in- stances are offered at a still lower reduction, and this grain wears a very heavy appearance. The business doing in Foreign Wheat has been on a much larger scale than of late. Current Price of Grain per Qr. as under:— Wheat 64s. Od. to 75s. llarley 38s. fld. to 40s. Malt 00s.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 27. Adverse winds during the week have caused the arrrivals of all Grain to be limited. We have experi- enced a sLeady demand for new Wheats, which, becom- ing scarce, have realized 2d. per 701bs. advance. Some large parcels of old have also been taken on specula- tion, at an equal improvement in value. For Oats there has been more inquiry, and, having very few of fine quality on the market., such have brought 3s. 6Jd. being an increase in price of full ld. per 451b. Barley is still very scarce, and obtains high rates. Beans fully support our quotations, and Peas are 6s. to 8s. per quarter dearer. American and sack Flour have been in fair demand, at improving prices. A few parcels of Flour in bond have changed hands at 28s. per 1961bs. but the finest descriptions are held for more money.

At length, by much labour and hazard to tbe men employed, tbe rigging of the fallen mast was cut away by means of an axe which was in the boat. As tlie tide rose, the sea increased, and every wave swept the decks of the St. George, and nearly buried the life- boat, it therefore became requisite to make a last effort to extricate themselves.

Mr. OVonnell, in his last address to the people of Ireland on the retirement of the Wellington Ministry, savs—" Who are to be their successors has liltle of interest'Jar me"— the substitution ot for for to in this I ttle sentence, carries an evident air of candour about it: lint Learned Gentlemen, as we have recently seen, do not always retain their self- denying pro- pensities, unless wheu the grapes may happen to be sour. SINGULAR ItoBBUY — W Hapdford, a milkman, who rents tbe Qnab- wcll Farm, at Horfield, near Bri « tu), was robbed of £ 66 in hard cash, un Tuesday last, under Ihe following curious circumstances:— Dreading the possibility of his premises being broken open, during his absence, and while serving his custodiers in Bristol, he had buried the money in an out- house, covering , it over with stones and enrlh. The ( lav above liamed having been so boisterous as to preclude the possibility of bis labourers working . in Ihe field, he ordered two of them to remove a quan tity of dung from ' be place where he had secreted his property. Whether by any means they had become acquainted with the deposit, or whether the appear- ance ot'the ground excited their curiosity, and led to its discovery, is not certain; but, on returning home, tilling, they had absconded, his . suspicions were naturally raised, and on examination it appeared the whole arifOiint had been carried off. The offenders lfiVve subst'qiietilly been apprehended., but. only a tl'iffing portion of the property has been recovered. They haife, ot' course, alleged, iu I heir defence, that they con- idered tiie money lawful spoil, and tbey Consequently set about enjoying themselves wilh the booty. One of them, who had determined to be a geVrtleman as long as it lasted, actually purchased a horse 011 which to ride about for his pleasure, but not liking llis purchase, disposed of it again at less than one- half of the cost price. One of the rustics has been con milted for trial. Pile, and would have murdered him 011 the spot, hut for tbe intervention of a labourer, named Bullock, who took him hi his arms, and Carried him into tbe house. Bullock was one of those who had previously led the mob ; the above Circumstance, however, tends to shew, that whatever object he might have had in so doing, personal violence was not one of them. But although hesaved Mr Pile from the entire vengeance of his companions, he did not prevent thern from breaking into the house, and demolishing and carrying off a large quantity of furniture— They afterwards, by violent threats, extorted £ 10 from Mrs. Pile ( mother of Sir. R. Pile), and then proceeded towards Stanton and Woodborough— Mr Brown, of Horton,' on hearing the outrage, hastened to Devizes, and communicated wilh the Magistrates; ' immediately after which, the Devizes, IVIclksham, and Chippen- ham troops of Yeomanry Cavalry, which were previ- ously in readiness to act at. a minute's notice, pro- ceeded to the spot, and followed the mob to Stanton and Wood borough. At. a public- house in the latter place, a number of the rioters wei'e making merry with the money they had extorted. Mr. Scott and Mr. Warmer, two active magistrates of the county, headed the cavalry, and exercised considerable. jit dg ment and firmness in their directions. On entering | the house, a blow was aimed at Mr Scott, but it was I warded off; and after a slight resistance, the whole j company, amounting to twenty- eight, were secured, tt the people j an( j taken to Devizes Old Bridewell. On passing- through ( hirton, a few of the scattered rabble had the temerity to attempt a Vescne. The result, as may be conceived, was their own apprehension. A meeting at the Town Hall, Marlborough, took place on Tuesday evening, wheti it was agreed by the tenantry, and men present, they would assemble at Aidbourn next morning, and with the assistance of the cavalry, attack the niob Ihere. More than 260 of tenantry on horseback, with the magistrates at their head, assisted bv the Cavalry, succeeded in securing about 20 ringleaders. The MarlboroUgh Troop also the same day dispelled a mob of: 300 or 400 near Milton, & took the leaders to Marlborough. Wednesday, a very numerous meeting was held at the Town Hall, Devizes, " to form an association for the protection of property, and the maintenance of the peace within the borough of- Devizes, and its three adjoining parishes. 1' Several resolutions were unanimously agreed to, and nearly ail the respectable inhabitants of the borough tendered their services, in purse and person, to aid in suppressing illegal assem- blies, so long as the disturbed state of the deluded peasantry should render such extraordinary services necessary, A meeting was held at Ca'ne, on Thursday* where • the inhabitants and farmers agreed to raise ( he wages rf the labourers to 10s. in the winter, and 12s. in summer. SALisniJRY, Nov. 24 — A fire took place at Knook, on Monday week, and the property destroyed, con sisting of one, barley, one oat, and one bean rick, belonged to Mr White, farmer, valued at £ 148. A man is now in custody charged on suspicion of setting fiie to them Yesterday, being the large cattle market, a riot was expected in this city, and conse quently a body of. special constables, tothe number of 800, were sworn in, and the Yeomanry were called out. A messenger was dispatched from Winterbourne to announce the coming of; the mob ( about 600), armed with bludgeons; some of their bludgeons were terrific weapons, they were about 3\ feet in length, with pieces of iron the length of the stick screwed up each side.— The Magistrates met them on horseback, and reasoned with the mob, and they seemed willing to disperse on the Magistrates telling them to come this morning and they should have redress; . but the people of Salisbury immediately pelted the cavalry, when the Iliot Act was read, and a regular riot took place between them and the special constables : the latter were at first driven off the ground, but were rallied again, as were the Cavalry of the Salisbury troop ( 25 in number); and on a. second attack being- made by the whole of the constables and the cavalry, the people were driven off, but not without many broken heads on both sides—— The cavalry were stationed opposite the Council Chamber aii last night. About 8 o'clock, Mr. Mackrell, surgeon of the Salis bury troop , was shot by the accidental discharge of one of the yeomen's pistols: the ball entered the fleshy part of the thi£; h and took an upright direction. It has been taken out by a surgeon, but Mr. M. is not out of danger.— The mob destroyed five thrashing machines at Down ton, on. Monday; one at Winter- bourne, two or three at Mil ford and Honing'ton; and the large Flax Mills at Fordingbridge, on Tuesday, i Saturday they pulled down an Iron, Foundry at Abbottsann, near Andover. Tuesday night, they went to West Park, the seat of Sir Lyre Coote, near Salisbury, and, after eating and drinking as much as they could, demanded money, which being refused, they attempted to break into the house, when Sir Eyre Coote shot one man dead, and wounded several They. have sworn they will burn down his mansion to- night. The Hindoo troop arrived last night at. eight, o'clock. All is now quiet. The market yesterday was very fully attended, but ifnmediately on the mob approaching the city, it. was cleared, and every sljop closed and all business suspended.— A riot has broken out at. Alderbury this afternoon, and all the cavalry were sent off at full Speed, fifteen men were committed to Salisbury gaol to day, for rot ing, fifteen . more were brought in under an escort of cavalry, this evening at five o'clock, from Aider- bury ; they have all been committed to. Fisherton gaol, for further examination — A detachment of the cavalry, has started for West. Park, to protect the mansion.— Firmer White's men at Harnham, struck for wages to- day,, and they were satisfied directly, at the rate of 12s. per week for each labouring man SALISBURY, Saturday Morning, 10 o^ lock.— tA! l s now quiet here. A desperate affray took place at Pyt House, the seat of John Benett, Esq. M. P. for the county. Mr Benett, on hearing that a mob ( about f> 00) was approaching his house,. went. out on horse- back to remonstrate with them, when they began to pelt, him with flint stones and brickbats; just, at this moment, the Hindon Troop, under the Command of Capt. Wyndham, came up, and, iu all probability, saved Mr. Benett's life. Mr. B. again intreated tjiein to disperse, but all was of no avail, they only pelted him more. The cavalry were then ordered to fire a blank cartridge over their heads, in order to intimidate them, but the mob only laughed at them, and asked them why they did not do their duty; upon which they ( the cavalry) were ordered to load With ball Cartridge. Mr Benett. Was very much wounded, by flint stones which were thrown at. his head, as Was Capt. Wyndham. The cavalry then attempted to charge upon them, but the mob rushed into the plantations which surrounded the house, where they continued pelting Ihe cavalry, who at. last effected the charge, when several were wounded slightly and some mortally— one man was shot dead on the spot. A great, number were taken prisoners, twenty- five of whom were brought to Fisherton gaol the same night; several of them'vvere dreadfully wounded : one man hat! a cut across the back of his hand, Which separated the muscles; another, three fingers of his left hand, Cut off ( it is thought this man will not sii viveji another, vvith a severe cut across one of his elbows j another had his head cut open, ISine prisoners were sent, here front Wilton, for rioting the satue evening, A strong detachment of the 9th Larkrrs has arrived here. The Hindon troop is gone to Hindon.

A large farm occupied by Mr. Harding, about three nnies. r'rotn Ddrchesicrj has been burnt down. Two more troops of LaneeN are now arrived here, on their route to Dorchester. Fisherton gaol is guarded by a party of Lancers. The work of destruction has extended into Berk- shire, Bucks, and Hampshire. The deniol. uon of machines and other implements of agricultural industry is carried on with maniacal enthusiasm, ami to such a pitch has the terror of the fanners risen iri , consequence, that, some of them liave actually pi; I their threshing machines - out into the fields to Ifi destroyed by the peasantry, in order to avoid the conflagration of the remainder of their property. The villages in most parts of Berk- hire are in a state of extraordinary excitement, and lawless multitudes* in bodies from two to eight hundred and a thousand strong, march iii the open face of ( lay for the avowed purpose of destroying machines of every kind They have in some instances compelled the ' farmers, to destroy their threshing machines, and » \ lst) forced the labourers from the plough to join " them.

Depredations to a Considerable extent have teen committed by a lawless banditti, nine of whom are now in Custody in our count j? gaol. The prisoner* were recognised whilst committing their work of devastation, and were taken early the next morning at their homes, and conveyed to Oxford in chaises* escorted by a pafty Of Lord ChUiciiVllV Regimeni,' which had been sent to assist the civil power iit apprehending the rioters. A spcei 1 general meeting of the County Magistrates was h> jld on .

Ill the vicinity of Walliiigford, Newbury, Lnmbourn, Nettlebed, lienson, arid many placps in the neigh- bourbood of what is called the Hifl country, the rioters have been very active. On Tuesday night a number of rioters stopped the Stroud water mail* near Dorchester, but did not attempt any nrischit fl Fourteen rioters have this Week been committed to our house of correction. The mobs are not found to consist entirely of labouring men, as hrts been represented, nor are their only objects the destruction of machines and an increase of wages. Several inhabitants of Winchester and other towns, and many persons in full employ- ment. at. high wages, as mechanics and tradesmen j have beCn apprehended and lodged in prison, as ringleaders of most flagrant outrages. Two men in full Work as sawyers, in the receipt of two guineas a week each, and actually sworn in as special con- stables, were taken with laurel in tlieir fiats, at. tht? head of a desperate mob near Mitcheldevei1. Large sums of mone^ have been extorted by violence and threats from several individuals at their own houses, and persons hate been stopped and pillaged in tin* pubic roads.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov MANNING R. CL. L-. MENT This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, as publisher of a Sunday newspaper called Bell's Life in London, to recover damages for an alleged libel published in the said paper, of and concerning the plaintiff in his business Sis a manu- facturer of hitters. . , . Mr. Serjeant Storks, Mr. Gunning, and Mr. Butt, conducted the plaintiff's Case, and Mr. Piatt and Mr. Humfrey, that of the defendant. The trial occupied the court until a late flour in the evening, but the facts may be briefly stated. it appeared from the evidence on the part of the plaintiff, that Mr. Manning had carried on the busi- ness of manufacturer of the Imperial Stomachic Bitters, and also of improved Purl Bitters for several years, and had an extensive trade amongst the publicans, until Dec. 13, 1829, when the following letter appeared in Bell's Life in London:— " ADULTERATION OF POKTER. " TO THE EDITOR OF BULL'S LIFE IN LOTJDON. " Sir,— it appears that the crown lawyers have consented to a compromise of the prosecution against Air. Manning for manufacturing what he called ' purl bitters,' but instead of being bitters was stuff for adulterating porter. It has been hinted that this compromise has been made with the intention of allowing Mr. Manning as an informer against a hundred or two of publicans who have been using Ibis stuff. 1 hope it is not true that such is lo happen, but I think that instead of the quiet manner in which this prosecution has been allowed to end, Ihe thing ought to be exposed as much as possible. The excise have no wish for exposure, because they have suffered the manufacture of the article for years, and are ashamed of their neglect. But let us have au exposure of the men who have been guilty of such nefarious practices. They deserve the greatest punishment; the public ought to know who the publicans are that hate been enriching themselves at the expense of their customers' health. Can we be surprised at the stylish manner in which some pub- licans live, when we find that by using a gallon of this mixture ( called Manning's Bitters), an unprinci pled man might take 20 gallons of porter from a butt and substitute water? Out of justice to the fair and honest publican, and to the brewers, an exposure ought to be made of the fraudulent dealer, and think the public must feel interested on the subject when they learn that upon examination at the Royal institution, Manning's Bitters was found to be com- posed partly of green vitriol and alum. What hell- broth arc we to have next, instead of Sir John Barleycorn ? " Yours, & c. C. Upon Ihe appearance of this article, the plaintiff threatened the editor with an action, and ou the fol- lowing Sunday an article appeared in the paper stating that he had reason to know that there was uo truth in the preceding statement. A number of the plaintiff's customers, however, ccased to deal with him ; and the present action was instituted to recover compensation for the injury thus sustained. So far from the mixture in question containing any dele- terious ingredients, several publicans who were called to prove special damages stated that they had not only used it in making purl for their customers, but had constantly used it themselves, without even having experienced the slightest ill effects from it. They had nevertheless discontinued dealing with the plaintiff, because they were unwilling to have his cart seen at their door after the publication iu ques- tion, as it was then generally supposed hy tire public that the mixture which he had been vending was of El poisonous nature. On the part of tfie defendant, a publican of the name of Corbett stated, that in the month of March, 1829, the plaintiff called on him and asked him to purchase some of his bitters, for the purpose of adul- terating porter, stating that it would make a difference of 20 gallons in a butt of 108 gallons, il: handed him one of his printed circulars, and wrote down on the back of it the manner in which the mixture was fo he used,— namely, 20 gallons of water ( which he termed liquor) with a gallon of the bitters, were to he substituted fur that quantity of porter. He made up this mixture for the witness, to try the effect of it, and the latter, on tasting it, did uot perceive lhat the flavour of the porter was much affeCted by it. He assured the witness that it was perfectly legal, and required no permit, in proof of which he handed hiin n printed statement, dated June, 1828, which lie had circulated amongst his customers, for the purpose of Satisfying them that there was no truth in some reporis that had been spread abroad as to tbe ille- gality of his mixture. The witness then ordered a few gallons of it, which, however, were afterwards seized on his premises by the excise. The plaintiff subsequently called on the witness, and, informing him that process had been served upon him from the Exchequer, proposed to the witness to ac- company hint in his carriage to his attorney, and state that he had bought the mixture merely for making purl, but which the witness declined to do, whereupon the plaintifl' tohl him he might lay an information against him, and have him fined £ 100, if he said he had bought it to adulterate porter. An information having been filed against Ihe plaintiff, the case came on for trial after Michaelmas term last, when the plaintiff, without any evidence being gone into, consented to a verdict against him for £ 200; tiie penalties sought to lie recovered amounting to £ 9000 or £ 10,000. In the mean time the mixture seized on Corbctt's premises were analyzed by Mr. Faraday of the Itoyal Institution, and found to con- fain the following ingredients:— 160 parts, burnt sugar; 15 parts, extracts of roasted grain; 2 parts, green vitriol; 2 parts, alum, and 120 parts, water. Mr. Faraday would not say, however, whether the vitriol bad been put in purposely, or was derived from the iron vessels in which the mixture had been made; nor whether the alum had been derived from water, or inserted intentionally. Some further evi- dence of the illegality of the plaintiff's business was adduced, including one of his cards and printed cir- culars, as follows:— " S. I. Manning, Imperial Stomachic Bitter Dis- tiller, and Sole Proprietor, Surrey Canal Wharf, Kent Road — The Imperial Stomachic Bitters are generally used in the making up of gin, rum, and brandy, to which they impart a superior fullness and flavour, and yield an apparent strength upon the palate, after the spirits are reduced, varying from 25 to 50 per cent, thereby affording a great advantage to licensed victuallers, who are allowed to sell them in their pure state, and use them with waste liquor ill mixing cor- dial bitters, and when porter, liter, or ale is on the fret, or going off, the rate of one gallon to a butt, used as finings, will render it tit for draught in 24 hours, and keep the same in good order." " To make up 100 gallons of strong gin, for four- penny :—- Take 100 gallons of strong gin, 2G gallons liquor, 2 gallons Bennett's hitters, j gallon noyeau, | gallon cinnamon, 201b. lump sugar, 2 oz. sweet spirits of nitre.

" To make up threc. penny- halfpcnny gin :— Take 10 gallons of ( lie above, and one gallon additional strong liquor. " To make up 100 gallons of Old Tom :— Take 100 gallons of gin, 2 gallons Bennett's hitlers, half a gallon of cinnamon, 1 cake of sal prunelle, 16 gallons of liquor, half a gallon of noyeau, 301b. lump sugar, and tine as above. " To 100 gallons of gin that is made up without the bitters, add 2 gallons Bennett's bitters, and 6 gallons liquor. " To 10 gallons of rum, prepared for the bar, add 1 quart Bennett's hitters, and 3 quarts liquor. " To 12 gallons of brandy, prepared for the bar, add 1 pint of Bennett's bitters, and 3 pints of liquor. " The best way of extracting the flavour of the ingredients is as follows :— Take lib. grains of Para- dise, lib. coriander seeds, half a pound angelica root, half a pound juniper berries, let them be cut small, and bruised together in a mortar, then steep them iu 5 gallons of spirits of w ine, or strong gin ; 1 quart of which will he sufficient for 40 gallons of gill; or 5 pints to 160 gallons." The printed statement referred to iiy the plaintiff was also put in, to show that rumours had been cir- culated injurious to the plaintiff's business, prior to the publication of the letter in question. And it was likewise proved that besides the contradiction of the libel inserted iu the following week, the editor offered to publish any correction the plaintiff chose. Upon the evidence of the illegal nature of the plaintiff's business being tendered oil behalf of the defendant, Mr. Serjeant Storks objected to its reception, on the ground that no justification had been put upon the record; and that therefore evidence which would go to prove the truth of the libel was inadmissible. Mr. Piatt contended that as the declaration con- tained an allegation that the plaintiff carried on his trade lawfully and honestly, and that the libel had been published of and concerning him in his trade, there was a material issue raised upon the nature of Ihe trade w hich he did really carry on, and therefore if the defendant shuwed that such trade was not lawful and honest, hut a system for cheating and poisoning the public, tie Would be entitled to a Verdict , Mr Justice l'atk said, that the observations of Plait, w hen opening the defence, having called ... !• . . LI. , I... H.' ILVjj Mr. his request tbe opinions of six of the other ' learned judges on Ihe point, and found that they ' all coincided with himself iu thinking that the plaintiff was bound to give some evidence in support of the allegations that he had carried on his Irade ill a law ful and holiest manner. Not having done he ( Mr. Justice Park) felt he should have been bound to nonsuit the plaintiff if the defendant's counsel hnd called upon him to do so at the close of. the plaintiff's case. At present, however, he would let the case go to the jury, leaving it to them to say, whether or not the plaintiff had, as he had alleged, carried oil his trade lawfully and honestly. Al- though, therefore, evidence of the truth of the libel was uot admissible under the plea of the ge'neral issue, yet, upon this issue of the honesty of the plaintiff's trade, he felt bound to admit Ihef evi- dence tendered by the learned counsel for the defendant. The case then proceeded, and on the close of the evidence, Mr. Sergeant Storks having replied, The let- rued judge summed tip the case to the jury, leaving two questions for their cohsidertitioti, — first, whether or not Ihe plaintiff carried ou his business lawfully und honestly; and, if he did,' then, secondly, what damages was be entitled to at the hands of the defendant, for the libel in question. The jury, without hesitation, returned a Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. 247 Mr. Manning this morning applied to the court in person fnr a rule to show cause why a new trial should not he granted, ou the ground that the learned counsel had omitted to call witnesses who were in attendance in the court at the last trial, whose evidence he considered was essential to his obtaining justice. He stated there were other grounds, but the court interfered, and informed hint,- that there were certain points deserving consideration, and therefore they should grant him a rule to show cause— Rule granted. who looked very smug with his four horse pistols. Nevertheless; they all went off in hearty good- will, and after several halts and amendments, at last got fairly into the road. I could uot help laughing, more especially as the last man had a kind of stiff leg and club- foot, aud his attempts at marching struck hie as highly ludicrous. ' Oh !' said a Brus- sels gentleman to me, who had witnessed the whole, ' these are your devils !' alluding lo the lame volun- teer ; 4 these are the fellows who fear nothing! they have fought like madmen.' The hero of Brus- sels, at this moment, is undoubtedly the jambe de attention to this allegation, he haa:, 6eft ' W'Rois,; his valorous achievements in the siege, w hen *" he worked the artillery, with a daring and coolness that surpass all praise, have made hint the first object of public atteutiou.

The appearance of the mounted Franches Cotnpagtiies, or volunteers, is certainly far superior lo those ou foot, though they may pot on that account be a jot more serviceable. Since they consist of persons w ho call command a horse, they can of course afford to dress uniformly. They have adopted a graceful aud uumilitary cos- tume; it consists of a blue blouse ( or smock- liock of a fine description), worked about the shoulders, and girted in with a black belt. This conceals the citizen's dress, except tbe lower part of the trow- sers, from the knee dowtiwurds, which are trencrally of some dark colour ; the cap is of fur, with a long pendant peak of red or green, with the tri- coloured tassel aud a tri- coloured cockade iu the front among the fur, so as to sit upon the brow ; with a brace of pistols and a sword, aud a double- barrelled fowling piece." An order arrived at Lambeth- street Office on Saturday, from the Home Department, desiring the attendance of as many officers as could be conveni- ently spared, in order to be sent into the disturbed districts. Accordingly, Lea, Shelnorlh, and Prender- gast, were sent to the Home Department, and Lea was immediately directed to proceed to Goodwood House, near Chichester, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Richmond. We can state, from undoubted authority, that both the late ministers and their successors have united in directing the magistrates in the disturbed counties to enter into no compromise with any persons while in a state of commotion, hut to resist all force Willi force, if necessary; and that one or more special commis- sions will be forthwith issued to try such of the rioters as may have been apprehended.— Standard.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 20. PLAYERS ROGUES AND VAGABONDS. REX, » . J. G. NEVILLE. I The defendant had performed plays at Manches- ter without licence, and au information being lodged against him, he was convicted by Ihe Lancashire magistrates as a rogue aud a vagabond, and fined £ 50 under the 10th Geo. 2. Mr. Courtney had obtained a rule to show cause why the conviction should uot be quashed, tiiu| fir. Starkie and Mr. Peel now showed cause, i'he offence, they said, was clearly proved, and cahie directly within the purview of the act <} f Geo. 2. And the defendant did not bring himself under the exemption of the 28lh Geo. 3, for he had not pleaded letters patent from the King, licence from the Lord Chamberlain, nor licence from the local ma- gistrates. Mr. Courtney, in support of the rule, contended that, by common law, every one had a right to act plays if he pleased, and that the acts of parliament limiting this right ought to be construed strictly. The first act on the subject was that of Henry the Eighth, in 1556, which authorised the servants of Sir Francis Blake to act plays ; but limited the privilege as lo others— to the servants of the King and nobility. By an act of 1592, strollers and other rogues aud vagabonds were made punishable by being pierced through the gristle of the ear, unless Some creditable person should take them into his service for a year ; and for a second offence they were liable to be punished with death as felons, unless some creditable person should take them into his service for two years— service, there- fore, exempted from the penalties of the act. By a subsequent act of 1597, rogues, vagabonds, and sturdy beggars, including strolling players and minstrels, were made subject lo certain pains and penalties, unless such strollers w ere servants of the King of barons,- and had licence under their hands and seals. By fhe act of the 12th Anne,, cap. 40, players, fencers, & c. were subjected to penalties, unless in Westminster, or any place where the King might be resident, where plays might be acted by hi* Majesty's servants, under letters patent from the King, or licence from the Lord Chamberlain; but the afit of the 10th of George the Second so fur favoured players who acted only in one settled place, ns to reduce the puuishment to a fine of fifty pound".' Now he contended that the jurisdiction of his Majesty and fhe Lord Chamber- lain was confined to Westminster, or the place of tbe King's residence, and that in other places the subject was at liberty to act plays at pleasure. The first known licence was granted iu the reign of Jac. I. to Lawrence Fletcher, William Shakspeare, and others, as his Majesty's servants, and the pro- hibition to act plays without licence applied only to such servants. Or if ( he Act of Geo. 2. extended to all places and to all persons in England, the prohibition was removed by the 28th Geo. 3. A licence would be no defence iu the couuty of Lan- caster, Lord Tenterden.— Yes, it would be an excellent defence. In tbe most ancient times of qur history, there were iiosueh people as staue players. After- wards, plays, founded on religious subjects, were acted under the sanction of the King or Barons. The 12th of Anne rendered unlicensed players subject to penalties as rogues aud vagabonds ; aud the Act of the 10th Geo. 2. explained the Act of Aune, and reduced the puuishment in th^- case of settled players to a fine of £ 50. The jurisdiction to grant licences was by these acts limited to his Majesty's place of residence *, but by the Act of the 28th Geo. 3. Ihe local magistrates were empowered to grant licences all over England, which showed that the prohibition to act without licencetxtended all over England. The other judges concurred, and the rule to quash the conviction was discharged. ' HOME, COUNTRY, & c. We love our native home, our native place, our native province, our native land. There is a pecu- liar and distinct kind of attachment belonging to each of these relationships; but patriotism is the bond ot fhe whole; and he who loves his country, loves his fiome and all between. But at home, and in our country, this sentiment, like the light of heaven and the air we breathe, is so familiar, that we are scarcely conscious of its presence, unless reflection be power- fully awakened to it by the return of some national or domestic occasion on which we are wont to felici- tate ourselves, and those who are dear to us, on this c luse of so much of our mutual felicity. In a strange laud it is far otherwise; the smallest incident tl. « e that reminds us of what we have loved from our childhood, and left perhaps for ever, touches the finest strings of affection ; and the sight of a flower, the sound of a voice, the cast of a countenance, the colour of a garment, the air of a song, may electrify both nerve and spirit, and quicken emotions more deeply transporting than have ever been inspired by the scenes and enjoyments themselves, which are thus overwhelmingly renewed. The pleasures of memory arc sometimes, though seldom, more lively than the pleasures of hope, but they are always more defined ; and the certainty that we " have been blest," is some- thing still in possession, which a wise man would not exchange for the unreal reversion of blessings to come, in the precarious contingencies of life. The farther, too, that wc are removed frotn the time and the place of our earliest and sweetest associations, the more they are endeared to us, and the oftener recollected. The very sadness which accompanies the remembrance of " departed joys" makes tlietf? a thousand times more exquisite. Man is so little of a hermit by nature, that he runs out of the desolate island of himself to seek social existence in the hearts of his fellows; and though his happiness must ever begin aud end in his own bosom, there is ample room within range of his affections to embrace the whole species. Next, however, to his kindred anil friends, his neighbours, and then his countrymen, claim the warmest share of his spontaneous— nay, rather his in- voluntary esteem; for it bursts out so naturally, suddenly, instinctively, that he can hardly say he has any choice, or will, or power, in the matter. With these, according to circumstances, especially in coun- tries where both are aliens, he cannot help forming new, and ofteu intimate, connections, it is wonderful, as well as amusing, to observe how unexpectedly meeting even in a neighbouring county, attracts stragglers, who are unknown, or indift'erent to each other, at home. Two persons from the same village or town, who never speak when they pass in the street; coming together at the other end of the kingdom, exchange salutations almost before they are aware, and each is right glad to ask or answer, lhat all friends at arc well. Two Englishmen, though the one be from Berwick- on- Tweed, and the other from Penzance, suddenly encountering on the banks of the river of the Amazons, would exult in the desert as if a brother had found a brother. Two Europeans, though the one were a German and the other a Welshman, would shake hands like " auld acquaintance," anil vent their joy in gutturals which neither could understand, were they to start out of a forest face to face, in the heart of Japan. Two inhabitants of this earth, though one were a Chinese and the other a Parisian, lighted at once oil the terra firma of the planet Jupiter, would see all the world iu each other's countenances, and enquire as eagerly for tidings from any quarter of it, as there were uot a speck ou its surface which was not comprised in the country, ay, in the home, of each Amulet. f$ lt0C£ Uaneou0 I- utrlUgcitcf. THE BELGIC VOLUNTEERS. In Ihe last number of the United Service Journal there is a very lively and excellent paper on the revolution iu Belgium. From this well. informed, sensible, and amusing article, we copy an account of the Tranches Cotnpagtiies. " These companies certainly cut an extraordinary figure ; of all sizes, and in atl costumes, will! bayonets and without; some with rusty muskets, and some w ithout any ; generally, however, all ate artued. Their officers are as droll to look at as the men. Perhaps no costume is so unbecoming as a mixture of military and citizen's dress. I have just returned from seeing one of these parlies set out to seek the enemy. They formed before the Palais du Roi, and it was long before they got shuffled into anything like order; Ihe rear- rank men hud got into the front, and others had changed their places, ill- order to march near au acquaintance. They returned to their former position with regret, consoling them- selves wiih ' Ah! never mind, mon ami; we will soon alter that when once we get en route.' When all was ready, there was a call for the major, who was nowhere to be found ; aftera time he appeared, running out of the palace; a little man,' iu a blue and red hussar cap, and a suit of blue to match, bound with red, carrying under his arm a huge heavy dragoon sword. He had brought an offer of money from tbe authorities. " The captain said aloud, ' We thank tbe authorities, but we have enough in our pockets;' at which 1 thought a part of the troops manifested some little discontent. This captain looked to me like an attorney or a greffier ; he wore a low- crowned haft' ttndItjad a brown great- coat rolled transversely atfbssi his breast, like a cartouche- belt; he had ( to SwordL but four horse- pistols stuck in his girdle amply supplied its place. The lieutehunt was a monstrous tall, fat man, who appeared utterly incapable of supporting fatigue; he bad a great swaddle in Tiis gait, aud could, with difficulty, keep his sword- belt from slipping off his monstrous waist, which was more circuitous than his loins. The ensign was a very miserable, pale young man, who wore his shoe down at heel; lie was foot- sore ; he had no arms but a short sword, apparently made of lead, such as they use to light with iu melo dranie. Not a matt had been shaved for a week, except the captain, GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.— The Belfast Subscrip. tion Cup, value 100 sovs. was run for in one of the finest Steeple Cliaces that has ever taken place in this part of Ulster. The ground marked out for the race lay. between Carrickfergus and the Silver Stream— distance two miles out and two miles iu ; over a close country, comprising a great number of large leaps, over both raised and sunken fences. Fifteen horses were entered, but only ten started, as follows : Mr. J Johnson's Milesius, rode hy IMr. J.

When within three leaps of Ihe first turn, in going out, Champion fell and broke his back ; but the noble animal did uot give iu till he ran another field, and made another leap— when he completely broke down, and wus shot. Milesius came in first, making the run of four miles in 16 minutes 7 seconds ; May Boy came in second ; Deceiver third; Sir Robert fourth; aud the rest came in at leisure, some having pulled up about a mile out. Deceiver died next morning. — Belfast Neu- s Letter. THE WHALE.— The whale, in attempting to escape, sometimes exerts prodigious strength, and inflicts upon its pursuers not only danger, but the loss of their property. In 1812, a boat's crew, belonging to the Resolution, of Whitby, struck a whale on the margin of a floe. Supported by a second boat they felt much at their ease, there being scarcely an instance iu which the assistance of a third was required in such circumstances. Soon, however, a signal was giveu for more line, and as Mr. Scoresby was pushing with his utmost speed, four oars were raised in signal of the utmost distress. The boat was now seen with its bow on a level with the water, while the harpooner, from the friction of the line, was enveloped in smoke. At length, when the relief was within 100 yards, the crew were seen to throw their jackets upon the ice, and then leap into the sea; after which the boat rose into the air, and making a majestic curve, disappeared beneath the waters, with all the line attached to it. The crew were saved. A vigorous pursuit was immediately commenced, and the whale being traced through narrow and intricate channels, was discovered considerably to the east- ward, when three harpoons were darted at him. The line of two other boats was then run out, when by au accidental entanglement it broke, aud enabled the whale to carry off in all about lour miles of rope, which, with the boat, were valued at £ 150. The daring fishers again gave chase, the whale was seen, but missed; again it appeared, and was reached ; two more harpoons were struck, and the animal, being plied with lances, became entirely exhausted, and yielded to its fate. It had by thai time drawn out 10,440 yards, or about six miles of line. Unluckily, through the disengagement of a harpoon, a boat and thirteen lines, nearly two miles iu length, were detached and never recovered.— Edinburgh Cabinet Library. Mr. George Lafayette has been appointed Am- bassador from France to the United Slates of America.

EXTRAORDINARY BERYL.—( From the St. Peters- burgh Mining Journal.)— The rarest specimen of this precious stone, which is at present extant, was found iu the short range of hills near Murziuskaja, in the district of Catharinenburgh, iu the year 1827 It is more than eleven pounds in weight, and is valued at 150,000 roubles (£ 7000). Ou the 14lh inst. died, at Helensburgh, Dumbar- tonshire, after a severe illness, the ingenious Mr. Henry Bell, the practical introducer of steam navi- gation into Europe. His constitution had been greatly broken down for many years, and his bodily sufferings were frequently very great. His " ruling passion," scheming, was strong to tlie last, and the advice of his best friends failed of checking this im- petuous disposition It involved him iu many diffi- culties, but the benefits derived from his successful experiments in the 6team propelling system, are of such magnitude as to insure a grateful remembrance of his name.— Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. A turnip was last week gathered on the farm of Mr. Thomas Handford, of Wellington, Somerset, which measured the extraordinary size of inches in circumference. It weighed twenty- nine pounds, Bud would probably have attained a much largi r growth had it not been plucked by some mischievous b ys. The late rains have been the occasion of extensive floods in the North of England, particularly along the river Irvvell, and the contributory streams. To enumerate the various instances of loss and damage would be utterly impossible, for scarcely an estab- lishment near the banks of that river has escaped ; and had it not fortunately happened that the flood came on in the day- time, which gave an opportunity for removing valuable and portable articles, the destruction of property would have been immense; and from the suddenness with which, in many instances, the lower parts of dwellings were filled, the loss of life would in all probability have been by no means inconsiderable. On every branch of the Irwell the flood was excessive, and every where the injury done to the establishments with which the banks of the streams are Crowded, is considerable. The print- works of Messrs. Grant, near Bury, were flooded to a great extent, and damage to the amount of some hundreds of pounds was done to the goods in various stages of the process, and by the destruction of colours and dyewares. But the most extensive loss that has been sustained, is, we believe, at the print- works of Messrs. Heap and Co. at Nadiield, near Bury, which were nearly carried away, and property to a large amount destroyed or carried off by the flood. In Yorkshire, too, the damage done appears to have been very considerable, particularly iu the neighbourhood of Halifax. Of course it was hardly to be expected that such an occurrence as the flood wc have been describing could pass over without some loss of life; and we regret to state that two persons, at least, have been drowned. Both these were boys, one was carried away, along with wooden bridge on which he was standing, near Bury, and the other fell into the river Medlock, uear Ard- wick Bridge, when endeavouring to secure something that was floating down the stream. We believe neither of the bodies has yet been found.— Manchester Paper. MAIL BY THE RAILWAY.— In the course of last week directions were received at the Manchester and Liverpool post- offices, from the Postmaster- General, to forward the mail between those towns by the railway. Ou Thursday week this order was first put into execution The following are the present arrangenieuts :— The first bag leaves tbe Mauchester post- office at ten minutes to seven, a. m. the box being closed at six. The second bag leaves Manchester at twenty minutes past two, p. m. the box closing at two. The first bag from Liverpool is received at the Manchester post- office al twelve, sud the letters are delivered at a quarter past. The second bag from Liverpool is received at three, p. m. and the delivery takes place at a quarter past. The bags nre taken between the Manchester post- office and Ihe railway in a new light mail cart belonging to the post- office, under the care of a guard. The blue train of carriages which used to leave this end of the railway at two o'clock, has ( since it has be- come a royal mail) altered its time of leaving to half- past two, aud has quickened its speed, so as to perform the journey in two hours, the same as the yellow carriages. The evening letters are forward- ed both from Manchester and Liverpool by the Knutsford mail as usual; but no letters, either for Manchester cr Liverpool, are now sent by the old mail, which leaves each towu at a quarter to one, p. m. and which is kept upon the road merely for the sake of the intermediate towns, Warrington, Prescot, & c. These arrangements will afford a very great accommodation to the inhabitants of both towns. We understand that during the past week govern- ment also made an arrangement with the railway company for the conveyance of troops in cases of emergency, so lhat a regiment which, by the usual mode of marching by divisions, was three days upon the road, will now be transported iu two hours! The citizens of London, who adapted the fronts of their houses for company, to see the processiou of the King and Queen to the Guildhall, have suffered sad disappointment by the postponement of Ihe royal visit. Seats were engaged in some situations at a very high charge, and some of those who had paid their money have been asking for it again, ou tbe principle of the Jewess, whose son having broken his neck by a fall from the one shilling gallery at the theatre, thus addressed the manager ; u Sare, I'm de moder of the poor Shew lad Dat meet misfortune all so sad ; Sare, I must have de monish back, you kuovr. For Moslieesh vash not see de show." The parties which have been already " in face" of each other in the House of Commons may be said to have committed the first act of hostility last night. It was an affair of no great consequence, but the promptitude with which the videttcs were reinforced is an earnest of the hearty manner in which the con-- ' flict will be maintained when it comes to the " shock of battle." Mr. Croker, with a party of small arms, made a spirited, if not a fierce attack upon the most assailable part of the enemy's position, and sustained ' ' it with so galling a discharge that it seemed to require a great gun upon the other side to silence him. The noise of the heavy ordnance was heard in reply— it was as sounding as ever, but it may be asked, with regret, whether its flash was fio bright, Or its fire so effective, as of old it was wont to be? Mr. Croker accused Lord Brougham Tor sundry breaches of faith ; first, with his constituents; second, with tha House of Commons ; and, third, with the country at iltrge. He repeated the pledges given by that learned and noble person— voluntarily given— of his bringing forward the question of Parliamentary Reform on Thursday, come what would, and happen to be Minister who miglft. This pledge was given solemnly in the House,' and seriously in private conversation. Mr. Croker pointed the disappointment of Honourable Members, who, he was pleased to suppose, would be toming up to town on Thursday, innocent, no doubt, of all that had been occurring in the mean time, to attend the summons of the' now noble lord upon that all- important question. He next alluded to the dis- appointment of the public, deprecated the suggestiou that the notice was originally given by way of a threat to obtain a better place under the New . Minis- try, but Concluded by expressing a hope that th* whole was susceptible of explanation. Sir James Mackintosh rested his reply mainly upon the unfair- ness of making a charge against any member of the Government, not only in the absence of the member himself, but of any of his actual colleagues. He questioned the source from which Mr. Croker had had the evidence of the declarations said to have been made by the noble and learned lord in question. Lord F. Gower thought the learned lord's conduct strangely inconsistent with all his declarations; but Lord Morpeth put an extinguisher upon the argu- ment ad hominem, by observing that he had never yet heard Mr. Brougham declare " that he should be mad if he ever entered into office." Some more random shot9 were fired, but the affair terminated by both parties withdrawing within their lines, and re- serving the issue to a future occasion. A discussion then occurred upon the subject of negro slavery, which was only li narkablc for the very proper warmth with which several members expressed them- selves against that nefarious practice; and for the remainder of the evening nothing occurred worthy of particular notice. In the House of Lords, Lord Brougham was duly introduced as a Peer; and Lord Lyndhiirst ( Ihe late Lord Chancellor) took up a position on the Opposition bench. Their Lordships transacted no public business whatever.— Morning Herald of Wcdnesday. It will be seen, hy an extract from the Gazette, that Mr. Brougham has been created a Peer by the t tie of Baron Brougham and Vaux, of Brougham; in the county of Westmorland.— Brougham is an ancient manor, which we believe has been in the family of Brougham since the time of Edward the Confessor, and Vaux is a barony in fee, of which the present Lord Chancellor is heir- general. " We are disposed to coucur with Mr. Hume, in thinking that Mr. Baring is not the person best fitted to coll others to account for circulating exag- gerated statements of the incomes of public men, or for not coming forward to correct such statements. We believe that no man has contributed more than Mr. Baring, by his language ill public and private, to the prevalence of the erroneous opinions which are entertained respecting the enormous iucomes of the higher orders of the clergy. Without entering into a particular refutation of the gross exaggera- tions contained in the handbill to which he alluded, we wish to call the attention of our readers to two general remarks. The one is, that if the whol* ecclesiastical property in Euglaud were equally divided, the share of each beneficed clergyman would not exceed £ 300 per annum. The other is, that if we did not kuow the quarter from which tho handbill proceeds, we should be astonished at the unblushing effrontery of the writer, in asserting that the incomes of the clergy constitute a part of the public burdens. They are iu no other respect a part of the public burdeus than the rent of the landlord is, being either derived from the rent of land, or from tithe, which is of the nature of a rent- charge upon the land, and would go to increase tbe landlord's rent if it were taken from the clergy, man."— London Packet. THE EXACT COACHMAN.— The late leader of the Northern Circuit was employed, some time before he left it, in an action against the proprietors of the Rockingham coach. Ou the part of the defendants the coachman was called. His examination in chief being ended, he was subject to the leader's eross eiamination.— Having held up the fore- finger of his right hand at the wituess, and warned him to give " a precise answer" to every question, aud not talk about what he might think the question meant, ho proceeded thus:—" You drive the Rockinchaut coach !"—" No, Sir, I do not."—" Why, man, did you not tell my learned friend so this moment?"—" No, Sir, I did not."—" Now, Sir, 1 put it to you once more ; upon your oath, do you not drive the Rock- ingham coach ?"—" No, Sir, / drive the horses." We are happy to state, that the plate stolen from the mansioii- liouse of Sir John Reade, Bart. ofSliip- ton- utider- Wychwood, Oxfordshire, has been re- covered, and in a very singular manner. A poor shepberd's- boy having lost some of his master's sheep placed under his care, in Shipton- field, ascend- ed a hay- rick, for the purpose of discovering which way they had strayed, when he trod on a hard sub- stance, and on removing the thatch of the rick, the whole of the stolen plate, with the exception of six spoons and five forks, was discovered, wrapped up in the green baize table- cloth and the three chair covers iu which it was carried away. The hay- rick is about a mile from the house. A double- barrelled pistol was found with the plate iu the rick, which has been identified as the property of the Rev. Mr. Pusey, of Christ Church, and stolen from bis lodgings a short time since, w ith his plate. Both barrels of the pistol were loaded. The two men of the name of Walkius, now iu custody ou suspicion of committing the robbery al Shipton, were seen to leuve the rick where the plate was found oil the morning the robbery was perpetrated, by two persons in the neighbourhood, who have come forward and sworn lo that fact. A huxom publican's daughter, named Kavanagh, aged 23, obtained a verdict lust week iu the Irish Court of Exchequer against a pawnbroker named Margarry, for a breach of promise of marriage :— the gentleman was 60 years of age, aud refusing to redeem his pledget was mulcted iu £ 700 damages.
