The staple trades of this town, are at present in a drooping condition, with but little prospect of improve ment. The manufacturers and working classes, are not in such desperate circumstances as those of many other large towns, but wages are low, and prices of manu factured goods have undergone an unprecedented depre ciation. Profit is almost out of the question, and the majority of manufacturers regard themselves as ex ceedingly fortunate, if they find 'that they are as well circumstanced at the present, as they were when they last valued their stock and book debts. A few of the large mercantile houses appear tolerably busy, but the parties supplying them with goods, are for the most part, miserably circumstanced, from amongst whom, the gaol is regularly colonised.—Sheffield Mercury. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, as Lord Lieutenant of Bucks, has published an important letter, ad dressed to the Magistrates of the county, upon the glaring evils which result from the system of paying for the labour of the poor out of the Poor's Book. His Grace's advice to the Magistrates is, " to take legal opinions, whether they cannot punish by some legal process, the parish officers, who shall thus persevere in misappropria ting the parochial money ; and my advice to the owners and occupiers of land, in parishes where this practice is adopted, to appeal against the rate so levied; but the duty of the Magistrates is, if possible, to punish the overseer. I would recommend, in every case in which it can be adopted, the application of the workhouse system: perhaps the only change in the law which I would wish to see, might be, that that system should be rendered more general and obligatory, instead of being, as it is now, voluntary and partial. Let the labour log poor receive the full wages for the labour which they perform ; if parochial relief be demanded, let it be found for them only in parochial workhouses, in exchange for labour. The means of employing the poor may there be easily found. Straw-platting, knitting and spinning, for instance, will afford re sew ces, and others similar will easily present them selves. Small cast-iron corn mills are cheap, and easily set up. But above all, let land, where it is possible, be procured, and u p on it l et t h e poor b e put to labour. The magistrates will soon find that the demand for relief will rapidly diminish, when it is found that it will be given only in exchange for work." It may be gratifying to add the concluding passage of his Grace's address—." I need not say that feeling myself thus called upon to press my opinions upon their notice, I shall feel it equally my duty to be at their orders, and to assist them in any man ner in which they think I can be of use, to check this growing and great evil."— County Chronicle. Our readers may frequently have felt an interest in perusing the numerous instances of strength and speed which have been recorded of the horse, without perhaps being aware that compared with Man himself, the horse is but a feeble animal. We allude to the respective capa bilities of each to support fatigue for a considerable length of time. There are very few horses, perhaps none, who could perform the feats which have often been accom plished by human pedestrians, such as walking 50 or 60 miles per day, for a number of days successively. This superiority in man undoubtedly arises from the influence of mental as well as physical energy, which it is the lot and the happiness of man to possess, exclusively of all the members of the animal creation; an extraordinary in- Hance of which we offer in the following fact:—ln the year 1793, a corn-porter, of the name of Joseph Oram, living at Poole, in the county of Dorsetshire, carried on his shoulder in one day, from a ship to a storehouse, -I(is sacks of wheat, weighing 574 lbs. per bushel, of 230 lbs. per sack, the distance to and from the ship being 71 yards; the ground actually gone over in this operation Was consequently 33,015 yar d s, or 186 m il es, and the %eight carried, including the sacks, was 110,210 lbs. or nearly 50 tons.

His eldest son and successor, Sir Oliver, lived here in such spendid style that he so much reduced his fortune as to be under the necessity of selling Hinchinbrook, with all the lands near it which had been granted to his family by Henry VIII, which he did to Sir Sidney Montagu, of Barnwell, Knt. one of the Masters of Requests to King Charles I. in whose family it still continues.

LONDON UNIVERSITY.--Professor Maculloch yes terday commenced his Course of Lectures on Political Economy. We have on former occasions given an out line of his opening Lecture, and his abilities are now so well known to the public, that it is not necessary for us, by an extensive notice, to add to his celebrity. Just now, when cries of difficulty and distress are resound ing throughout the land, arising from the financial extravagance of the Slate and the financial difficul ties of individuals, it may be expected that the Pro fessor's Course will be numerously attended. We know no subject that interests mankind more than the science of the production of wealth ; but unfortunately they are too deeply interested in it to listen to those who discuss it calmly and scientifically. Prejudice and pas sion, rather than philosophy, are the counsellors on this bead, both of legislators and their subjects; and if Mr. Macullocb's students should not be as numerous as a fash ionable preacher's congregation, it is because one instructs our reason, while the other weals to our fears and our hopes.

RESUMED INQUEST ON THE BODY OF RICHARD HEMMING. An account has been given of the finding of the body of a man named Hemming, who was supposed to have murdered the Reverend George Parker, in 1808, at Oddingley, a village near Worcester. It was then stated that an inquest on the body had been summoned, and that it was adjourned till Friday. On that day the proceedings were resumed, when, after hearing several witnesses, the Coroner adjourned the inquest till Tuesday (this day). After the examination of five or six witnesses the Foreman of the Jury made a deposition to the effect that such evidence had been ' adduced as induced him to believe that Thomas Clewea, of Od- i dingley, farmer, had a guilty knowledge of such murder, and that the purposes of public justice. he verily believed. would be fur thered by the commitment to prison of the said T. Cleves for further elimination. Mr. Bass having sworn to the above, Thos. Clewes was ordered to be brought Into the room, and he was made acquainted with the contents of the deposition and the purposes of it. He betrayed not the slightest agitation or alarm. He protested himself entirely innocent of having in the slightest degree been privy to Hemming's death ' • and when told that be was about to be sent to prison, he said he should go there without any fear as to the result. A warrant fur his committal was then placed In the hands of two constables, who immediately proceeded with him to the county gaol. Ibis is altogether a strange case. The Rev. G. Parker having obtained, for his electioneering services. front the late Duke of Norfolk, the Rectory of Oddingky, near Druitwich, took posses sion of his living about the year 1800; and, what is anything but unusual, quarrelled with his parishioners immediately respect ing tithes. Being a Westmoreland man, therefore, probably, like all mountaineer., obstinate and determined, he resolutely fought the good fight tiU 1806, caring equally little for the lova or the enmity of the parishioners, and disregarding all warnings to take care of himself, when one afternoon he was shot at front behind a hedge, and afterwards despatched. The murderer, there is little doubt, was Richard Hemming. a jobbing carpenter, instigated, there is every reason to believe, by the stimulus of a purse ut fifty pounds subscribed by the farmers. But the singular part of the' business is that Hemming. who bad been seen about the place shortly after the murder, was hnm'eU murdered ; and his bones. with the foot rule hr used to carry with him, his shoes, &e. have been found in a barn. occupied at the time by Mr. Thomas Clewes, use of the farmers who was examined on Friday last, and has beta committed for further examinant:lo. It would seem that the intention to shoot the parson was no secret is the neighbourhood. Several witnesses depose to cinver anions to that effect; and, what is singular. Captain Evans, a Ms &rate of forty years standing, who died in May last at the ad vanced age of 84, appears to have been one of the loudest io his threats of rtU the tenanu. John Perkins, of Sale-green. Crowle, deposed, that about three quarters ut a year before Mr. Parker's death, be was in Capt. Evan's parlour at the Oddingky Church farm, when Capt. Evans, speaking of Mr. Parker wad the tithes of Oddingley, said Mr. Parker was a very bad man, and there was nobody in the parish, excepting the witness, that agreed with bias; land said, " Curse him, he is a very bad man. and there is no more berm in shouting him than a mad dog." At Later. 11108, after the Meeting, at which the Overseers aCCIMUIS were passed, there was a dinner, at 'which were present John and Thomas Clewes, Capt. Evans, George and Henry Rinke., Mr. Hereon, John and William Barnett Mr. Jones, Mr. Marshall, and witness; Captain Evans in the &air. Capt. Evans gave the health of Mr. Parker left-banded, and all drank it but Mr. Hereon and witness. who was called a .Jacobin for his refusal. The Mercers' Company, with its usual liberality, has, 'during this inclement season, voted to the Mendicity So ciety, among other Institutions, fiftyguineas, in addition to their Annual Subscription of ten guineas. We trust that their example will be followed by other public bodies. We understand that the Mendicity Society distributed ye s terday nearly 500 meals to the perishing poor—to many of whom clothing would have been given, but their stock was totally exhausted on Saturday last.

Sea—l entertain a hope that you are so much tik gusted with the demoralizing effects produced by the cheapness of gin, that you will allow your Paper to be made the channel of giving publicity to the enclosed " Suggestions to Magistrates for reforming Gin-shops," sustained by the observations on that subject contained in this Letter, and communicated to me by a moat intel ligent and active Magistrate of a neighbouring county. I am struck with surprise, and feel the deepest regret when I see that almost every man, when he becomes an ale-house keeper, from that moment seems to consider only bow he may get most money, and is utterly regard less of the destructive consequence to his customers. Tho vigilance of the magistrates should, however, correct this unfeeling apathy, and control such men in the abuse of their licences. My friend informs me that " In a town In the country, containing 40.000 inhabitants. and 00 public-houses, several evils of great magnitude have ; ro reosively taken place in licensed Houses. The principal one wives from hotel-keeper., innkeepers, and publican., having =t(some before and some since the last licensing day), separate ad often at • distance from the from general entrance into pisses entitled Shades or Spirit Rooms, or cabins or cellars, and Inunetimes without name, and such places are u.ed as gin-shop.. Drunkenness and turbulence have by this means increased con.i derably, and among a class of women superior to the lowest order In many of these houses there is no .public tap-room, and licensed pima receives more profit from the gin -shop titan frog the hotel, ion, or victualling house." And he notices, that by 9 Geo. IV. cap. 61, the p e - sent " Ale-house Licensing Act," it is enacted, " That, when (at any of the licensing meetings) any question torching the granting, withholding, or transferring of any license, or the fitness of the person applying for such license, or of the house intended to be kept by such person, shall arise, such question shall be determined by the majority of Justices not disquablird who shall be present when such question shall arise." This clause points out the particular power and duty • of Magistrates (in additidtt to their authority when sit ting in judgment as to penalties incurred for offences against the tenor of the license,) as follows Ist. As to granting licences. ad —• withholding ditto. ad. transferring ditto. 4th. the fitness of the person applying for the lice . ce. sth. the honor intended to be kept. So that if the Magistrates should find that a licence has been granted to a man making an application fur one pur pose, and who applies it to another ; such as substituting a gin-shop for an hotel, an ale-house for a boarding-house, or if a licensed publican has allowed people of Beth sexes to assemble and dance and sing in places untie.- ground, and at night, I allege such a man must be deemed unfit to be trusted with a license any longer, and, in many cases, the place considered to be unfit to be licensed at all. I hope the Licensing M gistrates 163 agree with me in the magnitude of the evil, and vigorously apply the remedy. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, London, Jan. 29, 1230. ROBERT BROWNE. VENaz !
