With respect to preventing constables keeping beer houses; serving the office of constable was a burthen ; and it should not be increased by prohibiting the person from exercising his industry in keeping a beer house under the Act. With respect to keeping persona who might be sent torison under the Act to hard labour, imprisonment was only inflict ed for non-payment of penalties; and as debtors were not subject to hard labour, he could not consent to such a clause. With respect to postponing the operation of the bill for one year, it should be recollected that this bill was necessary, to give the public the full advantage of the bill for the repeal of the duty on bar; and the publicans would have the advantage of having that duty taken off the article in which they dealt. ' The question that the bill be read a third time was then put, and agreed to. The Duke of RICHNIOND moved that a clause be added, to prevent beer aold under the act being drunk on the premises. The Earl of BIALMVSBURY said, he did not think agreeing to the clause would materially affect the bill. The former bill put the sale of beer on the same footing as the sale of tea, coffee, and -other articles ; and he thought the supporters of the present bill should be content without going further. At all events, the delay of one year should be granted to allow the publicans time to get out 'of the scrape into which this bill had brought them. By giving a year of grace they would see how the bill would work often the re. peal of the beer tax, which he thought would be likely to induce to send to beer shops for their beer. He was glad the noble personsuk approved of a clause for requiring that persons giving security for the keepers of beer shops should be residents in the parish and housekeepers. He thought the bill was one of great importance, and that it was probable the House would see reason to retrace its steps. The question was then put, and the clause negatived. The Duke of RICHMOND said he did not intend to divide the House. He only moved the clause that it might appear on the journals, which It would not from the committee; and moved a clause to prevent the sale of beer on the premises for one year,which was also negatived without a division. •• The Duke of WELLINGTON moved a clause that persons be. coming sureties for persons selling beer under the Act, should be housekeepers in the parish, paying poor rates, which was agreed to. A conversation took place between the Duke of bichmond 'and the Duke of Wellington respecting allowing constables to keep beer shops. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, persons keeping beer shops would be liable to have soldiers billetted on them, and therefore, he 'thought, would be publicans. The Duke of RICHMOND thought that the act did not provide sufficiently for keeping good order in the houses in which beer was allowed to be drunk, and which were to be licensed by Excise officers instead of Magistrates. The noble duke con 'chided by giving it as his opinion that imprisonment alone was no punishment, and moved that ' , hard labour" should be added, as an act of justice to the Licensed Victuallers, who were most unjustly deprived of long vested rights by the operation of the present bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed himself as agreeing to the principle of the amendment ; but in the shape the bill had come from the Commons House of Parliament, such an amendment to a clause could not be carried. The Duke of RICHMOND then withdrew the amendment, and acknowledged his satisfaction at the readiness the noble duke at the head of the government had shown to carry into effect measures for expediting the police of the country. He (the Duke of Richmond) was convinced that next session the table of their lordships' house would be covered with petitions against the principle of the bill, both from the licensed victuallers and the shopkeepers, who might ' avail themselves of it. After a few words from Lord FALMOUTH, Lord TEYNHA3I moved, as in accordance with the spirit of the bill, that persons be allowed to sell beer by retail on cross benches in the county of Kent.—(A laugh.) The amendment was negatived. The original clause was then carried. The Duke of RICHMOND next moved that the present bill should only remain in force till Jan. 1, 1832. This motion was also out and negatived without a division. The bill wasthen read a third time and passed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY T 2. KIRBY. £ti-IGNEE, Y. MAY. This was an action by the assignee of a bankrupt, named Pot. finger, against the defendant, brother-in-law of the bankrupt, to recover certain penalties for the fraudulent concealment of property belonging to the bankrupt's estate. The ease, which occupied the time of the court for nearly four hours, during which the learned Judge several times suggested a reference, but which intimation the parties did not feel disposed to act upon, ass ultimately de cided by a jury finding a verdict for the plaintiff on the money counts, damages Efiii. and for the defendant on the other counts. COURT' OF CONIMON PLEAS—JULY 12. CURTIS V. NEWMAN. Mr. Sergeant Wtt.ne addressed the Jury, and said that this was an action brought by Sir William Curtis, against the defendant, a horsedealer, residing in Buckingham -street, New-road. This rose out of what was called •' horse chaunting**—that Is, giving a eta. teeter to a horse which it really had no right to. The horse was purchased by the plaintiffon the 10th of March last for 111. when a receipt and warranty were given by the defendant. The warranty was to the effect that the horse was sound, and would go quiet in harness. On the llth the plaintiff drove the animal in his cabriolet, when he found that the warranty given with it was not a correct one, as it kicked most furiously. On the I2th the horse was sent to the Veterinary College, Somers-town, where he was pronounced by NIT. Sewell, the surgeon, as "dead lama" The plaintiff's coachman took the horse to the defendant, but the latter refused to take him back, sad the consequence was the bringing of the present action. The horse was sold for 281. Ith ; but the keep of the horse from the time of the purchase, up to the pe riod of sale, amounted to 101. and this rum must he deducted from the money which the hone brought at the sale. These facts were supported by evidence. There being no defence, The Chief Justice told the Jury they must find a verdict for the plaintiff for 391. Bs. 2d. that being the sum he was out of pocket by', the purchase of the horse. They were not to take into account the sum it cost the plaintiff for the keep of the horse. The Jury, accordingly, returned s verdict for the plaintiff. George Trent, a man of respectable appearance, and ;amused of , considerable property, together with William Wattles, his shepherd, were indicted for stealing eleven sheep and six lambs, the property of J. N. Hatnpson. Tram, it appeared in evidence, rented pasturage ) in the Regent's, the Green, and Hyde Parks, for so head of cattle. Hampton, the prosecutor, who resides in Colishillotreet, Chelsea, had the sheep described in the indictment, on the 9th of June, graz ing on an uninclosed piece of land adjoining the King's Road, whence they were missing in the course of the day. Waug h, whom he met soon aftet, denied having seen them, as did Trent subse. viently, but the Prosecutor was afterwards told by a drover, named Steer, t hat they were in Tram's fold ; and finding this to be the case, he gave both the prisoners into custody. The Learned JUDOS, in addressing the Jury, said there was no case made out against the prisoner Waugh, as he was not seen driv ing the sheep. With respect to Trent it was for them to judge whether he really had the sheep in his possession with a fraudulent intention, or whether be only kept them for the purpose of obtaining some remuneration for grazing them. As it appears in the evidence, he mentioned to his man, when he drove them into the fold, that there would be eighteen-pence each to pay. It was not at all likely that if there was any fraudulent intention he would have kept them in Hyde Park, and afterwards in the Regent's Park , close to the rood. The Jury, without any consultation, unanimously returned a vet, diet of—Not Guilty. The JUDOS addressed the prisoner, and said that he would now return into society again without any stigma upon his character, and it was not likely he intended to have kept the sheep, USW COURT.

According to the Yankee statement, the designs of these are extremely good, and the colouring exquisite; indeed, the blending of the various shades and tints effected by these materials, is described as surpassing any effect that can be produced by ei the r oil or st ater colour. It is said that the artist intends to try his skill in conveying to brother Jona. than a field idea of some of the chefs.eteuvre of art in this our " auld world." We would, however, recommend him to con. dnue as original in subjects as he is in materials. He might try hie hand, for instance, upon the " Great Sea Serpent," a particular de scription of which, from ocular testimony, may be obtained from any New York mariner.-4therteruns. 2,327 4,120 191,023 162,320 - A Correspondent of the Atheneum inquires whether a sufficient time has not elapsed since the appearance of the " last" Galloway or Dumfries Mermaid, to warrant the account of a "new" one ; also, whether a dish of " Aberdeen Marrowfats" as big as pigeons eggs, would not be in very good season just now. We feel obliged by his friendly offer of striding us " the pike of three hun. dred weight," fresh from Loch Lomond, but beg to suggest that such " articles" arc premature before the rising of Parliament, and until the courts of law, the theatres, and other places of public amusement are closed. A reference to the journals at that time will abundantly convince our Correspondent of the truth of our remark. DISSUASIVES AGAINST SELF-MURDER.

TIIE STUART FAMILY.—The last direct male heir of the line of Stuart was Henry Benedict, whom the Pope had created a Cardinal. This Prince took no other step for asserting his claim to the British kingdom than by striking a beautiful medal, in which he is represented in his Cardinal's roles, with the crown, sceptre, and regalia, in the bock ground, bearing the motto " Voluntate Dcl, non desiderio populi,' implying a tacit relinquishment of the claims to which, by birth, he might have pretended. He was a Prince of a mild and beneficent character, and generally beloved. —After the innovations of the French revolution had destroyed. or greatly diminished, the revenues he derived from the church, he subsisted, singular to tell,'os an annuity of 3,01101. a year, assigned to him by the generosity of the l ate Ki ng fi eorge t h e hird, and continued by that of his royal successor. In requital of theis bounty, and as if acknowledging the liou.e of Hanover to be leeti. mate suceenors of his claim to the crown of Britain, this, the kw of the Stuart,, bequeathed to his present Majesty all the crown jewels, some of greet value, which King James the Second bad carried along with him on his retreat to the Continent in 1688, :iethwith amass of papers, tending to throw much light on Bei. history.—Sir W.

BUTTER.—Butter was unknown to the Greeks and Romans till a late Pliny speaks of it as a common article of food among the t e Zt i. rou s nations, and used by them as unction. The very name of butter, which signifies cheese, or wagulum of cows' milk, implies an imperfect notion of the thing. Pliny re marks, that the barbarous nations were as peculiar in neglecting cheese as in making butter. Spume Wile, which that author uses in describing what butter is, seems a very proper phrase for cream. Butter is of often mentioned in Scripture. aaaa , .
