Early on Thursday morning the farm premises of Mr. Jenne; of New Close, in the reighbourhood of St. John's Commons, were disco. vered to he on fire. Notwithstanding the most active exertions were used to quell the raging element, a wheat stack and two ricks were de stroyed before the conflagration was subdued. That it was the work of an incendiary no one can doubt, as the fire was observed in two places at the same timc. The farm, we understand, belongs to J. M. Cripps, Esq. one of our magistrates. W. R. Grossmith, of Reading. Barks, the celebrated young Roscius of the agc, is to make his appearance at the Golden Cross Assembly ltootn, Prince's-street.

The following is a summary of the accounts : By balances due last quarter Total amount of expenditure of the qr 6356 16 7 Balances in hand £6lBl 11 4 The weekly average number of inmates maintained in our workhouse for the year ending the 27th March, 1831, was 330; being an increase of 19 on the weekly average number compared with the preceding year. The cost of maintenance, including clothing, superintending, metlicirp, &c. for 53 weeks, was 3627 ; being 871. more than the ex pea:.:iture, 35491. for 52 weeks, on the weekly average number of 311, for the last year, ending March 20, 1830. The amount of pnor's rate collected last year very greatly exceeds the preceding year, or the amount ever before collected in thisiParish. We learn, with great pleasure, that it is intended to establish a Zoological Garden on the site of the Royal Cricketing Grounds, better known as Ireland's Gardens.

We Invite attention to the discussion which ensued at the last Bury Stssions, upon the practicability of doing awry with the pernicious system of allowing labourers a certain amount from the poor rates. Mr. DALTON, in contemplating the progress of the lac disorders, said, there was much that was calculated to excite alarm, but more to awi.ken feelings of sympathy and compassion. It was clear that to die. I t;e s ., and distress alone, the disturbances owed their o. igin. It ass no new opinion of his that the occurrence of that period might be attributed ! to the perversion of the pour laws, which had been the great cause of ' the distress, by stimulating the supply of labourers to excess. Hy a return made to the last Session of Parliament it appeared that in six agricultural counties the quantum of crime in proportion to the popu-I lotion was 80 per cent higher, than in all the other counties of England. 1 It required nu prophet to tell them what must be the effect of saying to I a single mar.—" So long as you remain unmarried you shall not be employed, and Sou shall receive just so much as will keep you front starving ; but if you , marry you shall be employed, it'd for every rultli.l tional child you shall receive an additional allowance." Now it ap. peered that the expenditure on the poor in the year ending March 25, 18a9, in England and Wales, was 6,332,4101. being equal to a priori. pal sum on mortgage at four per cent. of 158 millions. He then read sonic extracts from the observations of parish officers appended to the returns made to the House of Commons' Committee in 1825, condemn. ing the practice of paying the labourers from the rates, and according to their families, as calculated to encourage idleness, improvidence, proili. guy, and theft, and to increase the amount of pauperism : " Sir. J. Dances, farmer, of Stukeley, Hunts, said he considered the practice of paying part of the subsistence of the labourers from the rate a very bad one : it had made a great change for the worse in the cha racter of the labourers ; they were formerly ashamed to come to the parish—now they took ptide in it. " The Hey. P. Hunt, of lltdtbrd, said it had made the labourer in. different to his character, since no exertion or good conduct could better their condition. _ _ •' The Rev. A. Collett, of llaveningham, pronounced that the system was ruinous to the moral character of the labourer, and must be su to the landed proprietor also, who would find that he held his estate not fot hts own benefit, but as a trustee for the poor. " The Rev. If. Walter, of Husehury Brian, Dorset, stated to the Committee that the farmers in one or two neighbouring villages had begun to attempt the system, hut it was put an end to by the Magis trates. The reFort of the committee stated that in the division of Oswaldslow, in the county or NN master, the practice bad been entirely stopped by the vigilance of the Magistrates." Lord Calthorp rose and said, however strong his dislike to the pre sent system, he scarcely knew how, as a magistrate, lie could abstain from acting upon the system which had been so long in use. That system was full of error, and had produced as much mischief as any measure which the ingenuity of man could have devised ; though he be. Hemel that its projectors in 1790 imagined that it would be conducive to the interests of the labourer, and were influenced by humane mo tives in adopting it. But circumstanced as they now ♦were, be felt that they had great difficulties to contend with- For though it was true what was granted to the labourer in the shape of poor rates, tended to • encourage habits of indolence and every kind at evil—yet, on the other hand, the practice was so mixed up with the whole system of adminis tering parish relief, that it was not only per. eseyno, but the very sys tem which had superseded every other snecies of re li e f. Mr. Dalton said, with regard to the illegality of the practice, the Act of Elizabeth distinctly stated, that the persons to be relieved were the impotent and unable to work, and a more recent Act of George 111. adhered to the same principle, in requiring that persons should be not only poor but impotent :mil . unable to work, to justify a magistrate in even ordering it child to be maintained by his fucker, or a father by his child : a fort iori then he could not make order on a parish to maintain a person who was not only able to work, but actually working. Mr. hlapletoft denied that the system was upheld by the landlords to keep up their rents. 31,1111:IED.—On Monday se•nnight, at St. George's, Chas.

DERBYSHIRE COURIER, APRIL 16. The large corn Finding mill belonging to Mr. Staniforth, at Iteighton, near Sheffield, was discovered to be ou fire soon after Sunday midnight, and by ten o'clock on Monday morning the building was re duced to a mere shell. How access had been gained to the interior, or whether any property had been canted away from the mill, it was not possible to ascertain. That the conflagration must have been wilful appears to be the general opinion. The value of the stock and pre mises destroyed is estimated at upwards of 2,0001. and they were not insured. The constables of Sheffield and others have been actively en gaged ever sine:: the fire in tracing out the Incendiaries. Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. as chairman of the Staffordshire sessions, has signed a petition to the House of Commons, in behalf of the ma gistrates of the county, in favour of the bill for altering the law of set tlement by hiring and service, and praying that such mode of s ettlement may be abolished, by which the expenses of vexatious appeals, and many other evils resulting therefrom,will be in a great measure avoided. Tun Cucxoo.—On Monday last this " harbinger of spring" was heard at Well Springs, near Barlow Bole Hill, which may be consi dered SS an unusual occurrence, as it is well known that the cuckoo rarely makes its appearance until about the 25th of the month. MARRIED.—At Chesterfield, Mr. Samuel Brentnall, to Miss Elizabeth Anthony—The Bev. G. B. BI Ickley, Curate of St, Michael's, Derby, to Mary. only daughter of Thomas Harrison, Esq.

NORTHAMPTON FREE PRESS, APRIL 19. The petitions to the House of Lords and Commons, voted at the county meeting on Wednesday last, were carried unanimously, exet pt by the holding up of the hands (against the petition) of the two sons of Ale. Smyth, of Little Houghton; Mr. J. A. Whiting, statuary, Derogate; Mr. \Valiant Betts, clerk to Messrs. Hughes and Brittain, solicitors; and Felix Mead, shoemaker. The latter three live at Northampton. The Northampton declaration contains about 275 signatures, amongst which arc 1 baron ; 2 baronets ; 28 esquires ; a few gentlemen ; 39 clergymen ; 65 farmers ; 11 lawyers; 17 labourers ; 16 servants ; the town beadle; a gaoler ; 3 sextotis ; 2 chimney sweeps ; 3 waiters ; 5 grooms ; 3 veterinary surgeons ; a gamekeeper ; 3 scriveners ; a couple of ostlers ; 3or 4 post-boys, &c. &c.

Of the remaining persons who signed this document nearly (4) ore operative shoemakers ; 4 tailors ; 5 fiddlers ; a waterman ; and a pottnati ; and, out of the 475 signatures, at least 293 are residents of Northampton. A meeting of the inhabitants of Toweester took plate on Tuesday last, for the purpose of considering the propriety of ad& ssing his Ma ' jesty, and petitioning hear Houses of Parliament, that the bill brought fcrward by Lonl Johu Russell, for a retiont in the representation, may be passed into a law. The meeting was convened by requisition to the churchwardens, bearing the signututes of the greater part of the re spectable inhabitants; it was numerously attended, and the church wardens presided. We noticed, last week, on the leads fronting Mr. B. Law's shop, in Gold-otes-t a crop of very tine cherries, which appeared to have been ripe a considerable time ; likewise a nuttibce of strawberries, fully ripe, in puts. We have been given to understand be has suceeded in bring forced cherries to perfection for titve• at years past, with scarcely any competition, cherries being the must daliault of all other fruits to force.

Tuesday last being the day appointed for the opening of the Scots. wood bridge, the morning sea ushered in by peals of bells from the churches. At twelve o'clock our Chief klagistiate, and J. Hodgson, 1 sq. 51. P. met the committee of inattagcment, the proprietors, and various other friends of the undertaking. who had been politely invited to join them at the assembly wools in Westgate-street. After partaking of refreshments, a little before one a signal was given from the guns of the castle, when the procession set forward : The bridge, of which the opening has been thus commemorated, is 630 feet in length ; the distance between the two points of suspension being 370 feet, with two half arcs of 130 feet each. The roadway rises in the centre about ei,;ht feet, causing the bridge to assume a curve line of a graceful effect. The roadway is above 20 11 et, and the earn. age 17 and half feet. The coffer-dam of the north pier was commenced in September, 1829, and the foundation stone laid on the 9th Febru. sty, 1830. The piers are of Noma) architecture, li; ; ht in their con. struction, and by their graceful proportions add materially to the beauty of the structure. The day was concluded by a gland dinner at the Assembly Rooms, to which about 100 gentlemen sat down. The whole number of burgesses of Newcastle, resident and non-resi dent, is about 4500, and they are distributed as follows : Residing within the liberties of Newcastle, or within 7 miles of the Guildhall, 2157 ; at North Shields, 160; at South Shields, 100 ; at Sunderland, 60 ; at lilorpeth, 15 ; at Durham, 17 ; at Blyth and Hartley, 27 ; at Chester.le.street, 5 ; above bridge and westward, 59. About 1900 of the 4500 live, not in the neighbourhood, but at a distance. The sons of resident freemen under age amount to about 1511011 ; the apprentices serving fur their freedom are 767. It is estimated that there are within the liberties of the town 2798 houses worth 101. a year or up. wards, and of these, 404 are occupied by burgesses. The pitmen of the Tyne and Wear still continue unemployed. We are sorry fur it, because we feel convinced that if a very speedy adjust men: of the differences between them and the coal owners does not take place, distress and mischief will critic. The pitmen, we repeat, have hitherto shown themselves a decent, well.mcaning, inoffensive body of men. They have not been in the habit of deserting their work, and they have, on that account, a strong claim to attention when they do, because it is to be presumed that their quitting their employment arises nut from mere wantonness, not from a disposition to take unfair advantages of their employers, but from a feeling that they are iU treated. Originally when the differences took place we have no hesita tion in stating that they had good grounds for complaint, but when the coal owners resolved that the boys should henceforth work only 12 hours a-day In the pits, that all the workmen should be paid their wages in money, having truly and honestly the right secured to them of buy ing their goods where they pleased, and that able-bodied hewers should have work provided for them by which they might earn fourteen shil lings a-week at least, their real, substantial grievances were, in our opinion, at an end.

Yesterday about sixty gentlemen, friends and supporters of Mr. R. Protheroe, jun. assembled at the Montague Tavern, for the express purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate, as a testimonial of their esteem. We never witnessed a greater interest excited br our Spring gaol delivery than was created on Monday last, by the trial of Walker and Haslam, for the extensive burglary on the premises of Mr. John Abra ham, Welsh Back. The only fact adduced against Hallam was grounded on the deposition of Amos, a smith (since deceased) who stated that he had made keys by order of Hashun, and that with such the locks must have been opened. As this deposition could not be cor. roborated by otal testimony, the prisoner was very properly acquitted. Walker will, it is very generally believed, suffer the extreme penalty of the law. . e understand it is the intention of the Bristol General Steam Pac ket Company to establish a first class steamer, of nearly 300 tons bur then, and 100 horse power, to ply between this city and, Tenby ; for the conveyance of passengers troods, and live stuck. A singular discovery Of t iridden treasure was made a few days ago at %Felton. Some alterations were making about the fire-places, prior to a son of the deceased entering upon the premises; and a bricklayer knocking above the chimnev.placc, a few loose guineas fell down. A further search was institutea, and two or three bags were found, con taining 565 guineas. JIHISTOL LEATHER MARTET.-Heavy Crops, per lb. 17d to 19d. Light and Middling, 13d 15d.

Bets ecn 11 and 12 o'clock, the Lanily were alarmed by the barking of the house dogs, when Mr. Kearney's brother opened a window to ascertain the cause, but no sooner had he done so than he was desired by some persons outside to close the window again. He inquired what they ' warted ? when one of them said they lied come a great distance to r.- violent' his brother for being a bad neihbour, and wishing to turn poor people out of their holdings, a thing, they said, which had been practised too long in the country, but which they were determined to put 101 end to. They then commenced firin L ; into the house; one shot wits very neat Liking etiect on Mr. Kearney's brother. Several farms were t:ug up in the r.eighbourhood of Meellck turnpike on Sunday. On Monday, neatly within a musket shot of Limerick, about tem hundred men were digging a fain., held by a firmer named Kennedy from the hiarquis of Lemsdowne, on the borders of the north liberties. They were digging the lands for several hours, and portioned them out into quarter acres, to answer their purposes. The Terrys have entered actively hitherto on their agrarian warfare in this country; but their aggressions have been strictly confined to the turning up of land, which is almost universally dime in the open day. On bloralay, the lawn in front of Colonel Dickson's house, near Adam, was dug op from the hall door to the very hounds. The peasantry pro ceed through the country in large detached hodies, for the purpose of turning up the ground.

FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, APRIL 21. Naas, Aram It_-Mr. Gilbert AUrid, a Protestant landholder, of Kildare, having published a spirited declaration of his determination not to pay any more tithe, considering it, as the chief cause of all the odium that was cast on the Established Chinch, and calculated, front its enormous ainount, to lead time clergy into habits of self-indulgence. and inattention to their religious duties, the Rev. Walter Burgh, wh o receives the rectorial tithes of that parish, had his cattle seized and drove into Naas, to be sold by auction.

Last week, the Rev. Mr. Ridge of I)ungarvan, proceeded with half a dozen policemen, in search of property to distrain for tithe debts; and among others who were watching the proceedings, we observed one young man whistling, when the following curious scene took place : n that rascal, he always whistles when he sees me. Mr. Ford—(One of the wealthiest and most intelligent farmers)-0, that man is not a rascal He happens Lobe as well behaved a:d as much respected as your reverence. Dare you say so again, fellow? 31r.
