At a meeting of the owners and occupiers of hind in the hundreds of My and South Witchford, held at the White Hart Inn, in Ely, on Thursday, the 3lst of December, 111119, Jonathan Page, Esq. in the Chair. the following Petition was agreed to, and ordered to be presented to the House of Commons:— " To the Hon. the Commons. fite. " The humble Petition of the undersigned Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Hundred of Ely, and South Part of the Hun dred of Witchford, in the county of Cambridge— " Showeth,—That agriculture, which is justly considered the mainspring of our national resources, bas for some years ceased to yield to those engaged in its pursuits a due return for their capital, chill. and industry, and that the difficulties under which the culti vators of the soil have laboured have of late increased to an alarm ing extent. " That to whatever causes the calamity is to be ascribed, and however opinions may differ on the subject, your petitioners feel that its existence is too apparent to admit of controversy, and that the present posture of affairs, as evincing the depressed condition of agriculture, and the injurious consequences resulting front it, is truly appalling, and calls aloud for prompt and ell carious reme dies on the part of the Legislature. " That in no respect has the unprosperous state of agricultural pursuits more forcibly shown itself than in the inability of the farmers to find employment for the poor,—a circumstance which has been mainly instrumental in reducing the labouring classes to their present wretched and degrading means of subsistence; and your petitioners, in considering this subject, cannot forbear con trasting the present condition of the poor with their state in times of agricultural prosperity. When the tillage of the land afforded a fair remuneration to the farmer, the labourers reaped the due reward of their toll, and with their earnings maintained their families, and trained them in habits of industry and sobriety. They then filled their stations in' society, with credit to themselves, and advantage to the community; and duly appreciating the benefits of our Cosstitution, they felt they had an interest in the public weal ; bat now, no longer able to maintain themselies by the sweat of their brow, they are driven to the scanty pittance derived from parish funds, and which is doled out to them. not according to the labour received in return, bat to the extent of their families. Congregated on roads and In gravel-pits, their spirits nave become broken and they are constantly repining at their hard condition. and inciting each other to vicious courses, while their employers are regarded as task masters. and the des of attachment to the land of their birth be come gradually torn asunder. " Your petitioners cannot but regard the present condition of the peasantry with feelings of intense anxiety for the welfare of the State; they see in it matter for serious reflection for every well wisher of his country; and they implore your Honourable House to take some means of arresting the further progress of the evil, and of averting the lamentable consequences that must otherwise ensue from it. As the most seasonable and effectual mode of re lief, they would entreat you to push it to its utmost practicable limits, consistent with the maintenance of the public safety, eco rimy and retrenchment in every department of the State; they would urge the necessity of a material reduction of all taxes pressing directly or indirectiron the necessaries of life, and particularly on the wholesome beverage of the poor; and they would also submit ro your consideration the propriety of remodelling the poor laws, with the view of placing them, as far as circumstances will allow, within the spirit of the Act of Elisabeth; it appearing to your petitioners that those laws, as now administered, too often operate as a premium on idleness and dissipation, rather than as an incentive to industry, and have also a direct tendency to encourage early and improvident marriages. " Your petitioners, in calling the attention of your Honourable House to the state of the public creditor, disclaim any de sire unjustly to invade his rights, but they cannot !drain from observing, that fit the various financial measures introduced since the war, he appears to have been dealt with solely as a claim ant on the public resources of the country, without regard to his responsibilty for the debt as a member of the community : as a proof of which they would notice the fact, that the funded property has increased in value in the same ratio that land has diminished ; thus, in effect, relieving the fundholder from his due share of the burdens of the war, and pressing them with increased severity on the landed interest. They feel it also to be worthy of remark, that notwithstanding the Government derives a large revenue from the sale and transfer of landed pro pe rty, no duties are payable on similar transactions in the funds, the whole management of which is conducted free from charge to the landholder. " Your petitioners humbly request your Honourable: House to take into your consideration, at an early period of the Session, the Present state of the aviculturists and the labouring classes, and to adopt such measures for their relief as to your Honourable House shall seem meet." IMPROVEMENT OF TRADE.—The loose way in which " improvement" is proclaimed, even by papers of eminence, is ex em, lified by the following paragraph from the Tieses:—" As a proof that the trade of the sister kingdom is improving, sixty-seven vessels arrived at Liverpool on Friday last, and twenty on Satur day, as per lists received at Lloyd's." The feet is that these vessels bare been detained in Ireland by an easterly wind for nearly a fort night, and arrived together because each seized the earliest oppor. tunity presented by a change. ' THE Tr( Aw.—lt may be useful to observe, that per sons are more likely to be afflicted with pulmonary complaints, par ticularly when a thaw commences, than during a frost, and there fore, as many are now suffering from the present change of wea ther, they should pay great'atteotion to their state of health, and by proper regimen and good medical advice, guard against inflamma tion and pleurisy, for if they should neglect this advice, they may probably be afflicted throughout the winter. It should be remem bered, that a cold treated in time may be considered half cured, but if neglected, the consequence may be very serious. The Northern Whig, a Belfast newspaper, lately pub fished some severe animadversions on a practice said to be resorted to on the Marquis of Hertford's estates in the North of Ireland, for getting rid of the forty-shilling freeholders, now that they can no longer vote for the nominee of their landlord, which was stated to be effected by requiring each tenant to pay some years' rent in advance, for which an abatement in the rent was to be allowed; but as few forty-shilling freeholders could conform to this regula tion, ejection was the eon.eqsena, The Rev. James Scanners has published a defence of his Lordship, in which be says, the fact and truth is, that there is no estate on which the rights and in terest of the tenant have been more liberally observed, and that net one instance of hardship on the entire estate, as to fining or other grounds, can hitherto be shown, which has not been occa sioned by the tenant himself. The general distress that-pervades almost all classes of the community has extended to the medical profession, particularly country practitioners, In a degree of which there is no parallel in former times. The tradesmen, they say, are without business, and the fumes are subsisting on their little remaining capital. Debts from either clan are not to be collected, yet the medical praeti• tioner is called upon almost hourly to attend patients who reside, in some Instances, eight or ten miles distant, from whom he can have scarcely any expectation of ever receiving a farthing for the exercise of his talents, his attendance.. or his medicines. Great numbers of country practitioners, urged to it by the distress of the times. have recently embarked for America and the settlement on the Swan River, in the hope of obtaining some sort of subsistence for themselves and their familles.--Observer. We understand that a seizure of several pucka of play ing cards, with an imitation ace of spades, bearing the name of " Ludlow and Co. Patent Knights' Cards,' has been lately made by the Commissioners of Stamps, at the Rowe of Henry Wheeler, of Grevffle-street, Harton-garden, London, a licensed card-maker; and that a prosecution has been commenced against him In the Court of Exchequer, for the recovery of penalties incurred for having such cards in his possession. The public may not be aware that by a recent /kit (the nth Geo. 4, cap. is,) which reduced the duty on a pack of cards from £s. 6d. to Is. and permitted second-hand cards, with Stamp ace ace of spades, to be sold, it is provided that if any playing cards, not stamped as by law required, shall be found, or shall be used in the house or shop of any person, the same may be seined and serried away, to any officer of Stamps ; and the person in.whose hews or shop the same may be found or used, is liable to spindly elf All for every pack of such cards.

Having also recently dbconnected myself from all private commercial interests, I have been lanced to employ my time in an attempt to penetrate and unveil the mysteries which have produced such extraordinary anomalies as now exist in the most civilised countries, but more especially in the British empire. I have endeavoured to ascertain the real canoe why the BritishA population, with a power of production new in the history of man kind, and capable, if they were rational in their proceedings and the power rightly directed, of over-supplying the wants or desires of ten, or twenty, or thirty times its present numbers, so large a majority of this population should be at the present moment con tending, with all their energies, to obtain an increase of property, while a considerable number are In want of the first messedr of life. Disreprding the theories and prejudices of ail, I have been in duced to examine carefully such facts connected with the subject umy intimate acquaintance with various classes, sects, and par ties, enabled me to collect and compare together, without being influenced in my decisions by the educational or national feelings or prepossessions of any of the local divisions of which society is composed. The results of this investigation I have submitted to the consideradon of the British Cabinet, and await its deciden. I am strongly impressed with the conviction that the Govern toms of this country will not, that it cannot, much longer suffer the population of the British dominions to continue to be over whelmed with an abundance which, as circumstances now are, ne cessarily inflicts with poverty and various unjust hardsWps the pro ducers of that abundance, while, at the same time, the empire con tains dormant manual and scientific powers sufficient to increase the real wealth of the population twenty, fifty, nay more than an hundred fold. This is an irrational state of existence, which it is greatly for the best interest of every individual. whatever may be his rank, station, or condition, to terminate in the shortest period practicable, without creating by the change,permanent evils of magnitude. Such is the object which bas been attempted in the salmi which has been presented to the British Cabinet. The subject, however, is necessarily most extensive, sod in its results will materially affect the feelings, the interest, and condition of every individual in the British dominions, and, ultimately, of those who Inhabit other countries. A subject so comprehensive requires much elbcidadou to enable the population to understand its practical effects, through all its ramifications, upon their respective coodidons, occupations, and em ployments. In addition to the subject, as submitted to the consideration of Government, I have prepared addresses to the various existing classes, explanatory of their situation and the manner in which they would be affected by the proposed change in the condition of society. These addresses are as brief as the subject of each will admit ; many of them will not occupy more than a half of one of your columns. some not so much. but a few of them win require a fuller development. There is no private interest or party object in the slightest degree connected with them—they are solely intended for the public good. Upon this ground alone I request the use of your columns for one of these addresses every alternate day until the meeting of Par liament, that, by that period, its members slid the public may have the subject fully before them. Yon, as well as the public, have a deep stale in this matter; and when, the whole subject shall be placed fairly before you, It will be open to your scrutiny, and I desire it may receive your support, or call forth your censure and opposition, u It may appear to you to merit the one or deserve the other. I am, gentlemen, your faithful servant, /3edford-aquare, Jan. 4,1830. ROBERT OWEN. SHERIFF'S COURT, Jan. 4. ROYSTON V. SIMI. This was a writ of inquiry directed to the Sheriff of Middlesex, to asseu damages In an action brought by Messrs. W. and J. P. Royston, stationers, of Broad -street, against the defendant, Detlavo Rieke, an Insurance broker, at Lloyd's, (who had suffered judgment to go by default,) to recover the stun of £lB 1 8s. 9d. for goods sold and delivered. John Brown, a clerk to the plaintiff's, produced their journal, and proved from the entries the sale and delivery of the goods, which were various stamped policies of insurance. The original amount of the debt was £B5 les. 9d. off which, it was admitted, the de. fendant had paid £5. Verdict for the plaintiff for £lllllls. 9d. The coachman to the Viscount Clive was accidentally killed on Friday. The noble family were attending Divine Ser• vice at Pool church, and the coachman, Dawson, bad brought the canine to the gates leading to the edifice, and woo waking to take up one of the family, when the horses were startled. and galloped off at a furious rate, so as to prevent the coachman controlling them : be was thrown from the box, and killed. Verdict— Accidental Death. Thursday a large quantity of the cliff to the eastward of the town of Hastings fell, and proved destructive to several pig styes underneath, killing nine hogs, some of which were valuable, and chiefly belonging to poor persons. A few days since, a poor man, of the name of Eve, who resided at Malden. went out, in company with another per son, in pursuit of wild fowl. Eve's companion remained on board the larger boat, whilst the unfortunate man put Wields his canoe. He was seen at a considerable distance from the boat, but his com panion conjectured that be came in contact with some floating lee, and was upset, as the canoe has since been picked up, but Eve is supposed to have met a watery grave.—Cleieseerd Chevisiele. Saturday evening a violent outrage was committed at North Bradley, Wiltshire, by four men, who entered the premises of Mr. A.

It will be recollected that a young man, named Pawed, was charged at this Office, on Saturday last, with a boot viokut and wanton assault u po n a Jewess, named Emma Lawrence. lib reply to the charge was, that at the thne the assault bad been conamitted, he was drink ing with a friend in a public-home in the Cornwalkoad. In order to mceryain what truth there was in this statement, an Aker was ardend to accompany the Prisoner, and, if his account was found to be correct, be was to be set at liberty ; if not be was to be detelned. Yesterday morning the prisoner was again brought pp, and placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Faanaornsa. The *Seer, who went with the prisoner, stated that the story told by the prisoner was not tree. Committed for trial. BOW-STREET. Yestaday a respectable-looking middle.aged man, named John ikerassm, was brought up. charged with making a desperate attempt to murder his wife by stabbing her with a carving knife. The prisoner and his wife, it appeared, had been married about three years, and kept the Three Cross Lances public-house on Hounslow-Heath. Mrs. Stevenson, before her marriage with him. was a widow with six children. They lived vary comfort. able together until within the last three months, when be be came addicted to excessive drinking, and was occasionally guilty of acts of great extravagance. On Sunday Mrs. Stevenson had prepared the dinner as usual, but the prisoner upon his entrance over the table with the dinner, &c. upon It. Mrs. Ste. venom) was alarmed, and ran into the passage, whither she was followed by the prisoner with a bugs carving knife he his band. He seised her by one arm and pushed her against the wall, and after wiping the knife deliberately three times upon her apron. be drew back end aimed a blow at her stomach with all his force • she screamed and fell, and be ran into the road and said to Mr. C.an. non a neighbour, o Goin to Mn. Stevenson ; hare done her badness." Mr. Cannon and others ran to Mrs. Stevenson's as sistance, and it was found, to the astonishment of every one, that she bad sustained no injury. The knife had struck against the steel husk of her stays, and had not reached even her skin. Such was the force of the blow. that the bask, although highly tempered, bad a considerable indentation, and the point of the knife was bent double. The prisoner, whose whole conduct was that of a madman, was taken into custody and conveyed to the cage. Sir R. Brains said the escape was most miraculous, for had the knife missed the bush, it must, from its length and the force with which the blow was aimed, have gone completely through her body. Stevenson professed the greatest sorrow for the act, and said he bad no recollection whatever of any part of the traniacioa. He could only account for it by supposing that he was perfectly mad dened by liquor at the time. lie expressed himself extremely grateful to Pavement for the miraculous prevention of the crime which he bad contemplated. Sir R. Beam said that no wound having been actually Inflicted, the offence only athoented to a misdemeanour, but be must de mand very heavy behind forty-eight hours' notice. The prl so zr was then animitted mstll he could find the required sureties.
