A rise of price would do nothing ; for it had been shown,, and a thousand times, to bee mere temporary teller, and, to do rernianeni good to one class of the community, it wainices sar that ther should legittiale so as to do good to all, and by the dissemiiittion of those principles which they had met to support, had set on foot the only remedy which any man of experience would apply to the existing evil. With re spect to the suggestion of the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Palmer), that the Reformers should all come forward as Oultscribers to one definite proposal, he thought that it was hardly necessary. if they agreed on one thing—to get rid of the present base system—lt would be sufficient. Mr. F. PALMER . announced, that an association similar to that of Reading had been established by Mr. Ashford Sand fins'. la,Sometrsetshlre. The health of the founder and the members of the club was drank with loud applause. The health of the Chairman. of Mr.Goodiake, the Vice- Presi lent. who will fill the chair next year; of Mr. Marsh, the late Chairman : of Mr. Rigby, and the Independent members of the British bar; and of Mr. Talforde, were re'Spectively drank.

Its repetition was y e rapturously dentatiderl, and after it had been sung a second time, thele appeared a strong dispesition to call for it once : more. PEARMAN went through Macheath with I good deal of ability : His principal songs obtained marks of general approbation, and " How happy could I be with either," he was compelled to repeat. BLANCHARD and BARTLEY made Pcachum and Lockit highly emus log ; and MISS 11ALLA 'IDE as Lucy, and Mrs. baveN rosy as .11rs.Peachuni, contributed largely to theinirth of the evening. AILICUED LSI:ISM—Four or five news-venders were yesterday taken into custody, by the Peace Officers of College-street, Divisional Police Office, for circulating Witted papers of an alleged libellous tendency, purport ing abe a 1411 df 7;ntertalnments, by an Indian Juggler. A Doctor Willow, of Coleraine, admitted, at the Head Police Office, yesterday, that he was the author and pub halter of those papers.—(Drblin Morning Post, Janu ary 16th,) The Lords of the Treasury have directed that the tax on agrienhutal horses employed in saving the property from the range Nicholas, wrecked under Seaford Cliff, on the 26th of November last, is not to be demanded. It is expected a similar order will be issued for all the horses employed in saving and removinr the property from on hoard the East India ship 'Thames, lately stream] off Eaetbourne. BRlcorrox, JAN. 17.—0 n Wednesday evening, the Bth inst. Mr. Stone, clerk to the Comptroller at New haven, midi Messrs. Head, Winder, and Banks, tide. waiters of Newhaven, and a dragoon,fell in with a 00111- S .i,v of sonigglers, near South East Bridge, laden with • contraband goods. The officers made id attack on the sittorgiers, which the latter resisted, but the officers were not to be intimidated ; a desperate encounter corra -1 meneed, when :•••• officers secured 16 tasks of spirits, and safely deposited the same in the Custom House at Newhaven. A blow was made at the dragoon with a bludgeon, who returned the compliment with his sword ; am!. it is stated, that the smuggler had his thumb cot off. The sword of Hoed was broken, but the recon,int was covered with blood, which shews that his antagonist was wounded. Banks aimed his pistol at rise of the smugglers, who had violently assaulted him, but it snapped,,or the offender would have paid the for feit of Iris life fur his misconduct. The smugglers escaped by a rapid flight over hedges and ditches. • We understand that fifty Beres of that delightful vale, midway between the Marine parade and Race course, is isnmediately to tie 'walled in, and the ground tastefully laid out fur tea and pleasure gardens. • During half a century last past, woodcocks were never recollected to s have been so plentiful in this part of the world, ay at present.

Fat oa T 9 o'cLocu, r.m.—The rigour of the season con tinnets, without any apparent indication of a speedy thaw. During iVe,:netelay evening, a lad, driving a cart between Schorehain and Lancing, was frozen to death. Two respectable butchers of this town started a little after fire on the morainic of Wednesday last, to attend a neig It bottri n r cattle market, but from the intenseness of the cold, were obliged to return after having proceeded htIOUt two Miles. Their breath actually frose, and their faces were literally covered with a sheet of ise. MaLssicisoLv Loss or Lives.—A large yawl, called " the Seaman's Assistance," belonging to Lowestoft, put off from that plant about one o'clock on Saturday morning last, n jai William Botcher, a pilot, and seven headmen on hoard, which has not since been heard of; there is, therefore, every reason to fear she must have shipred a sea and sank, with all hands on board ; an oar, a chest, and some other part belonging to the v'awl, bare been picked up near Aldborough, which leaves but little doubt of the fate of tier crew. Four of them were single men, and the remainder have left large families to deplore thier loss.—The following are their names . William Butcher, blot, wife and four children: William Butcher, son of W.

P. Mathias, juts. and other peace officers, succeeded in securing three bags of copper and about a tan of rope, which appear to have been plundered from the wreck of the Wears, at Dallycotton, and for warded on cars laden with corn to *his city, for the pur pose of' being sold. One of the men made his escape, in the confusion created at the seizure, and the othe?, Thos. • Murphy, has been secured and committed to Bridewell, by Sir A. Pert ier. The copper and rope have been safely lodged in the stores of Messrs. Cnthbnert, Hare and Co. The cars and horses have been returned to the owners, who made affidavit they were only hired to convey them. Lewes stock market, on Tuesday, was rather thinly supplied with mutton. .

The following Resolutions *ete entered Into bry the Court, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, held at Northallerton, in the North Itiiliag of the County of York, on the 14th of October, 1822. Their object, as will be seen, is to reduce the price of labour. It is, beyond all doubt, reasonable that there should be some reduction in price; bet we conceive the proposed:scale to he too/ow. Let the (heat Officers of State, whose salaries were advanced in times of high prices, set Me example, and then it will be followed, but it is rather too much for the Court, while the fees of their officers, and the expenses of their proceedings, remain at the same rate, to call for a further reduction from the trades men's prices, and the wages of the poor man, by which they would be rendered still more incapable of obtain ing justice:— "Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Court, that the present high prices paid to trades men, mechanics, innkeepers, and others, is unwarranted by the low price at which provisions may be purchased. "That as the rate of wages, &c. was founded, and has always advanced, with every material advance with the price of corn and other agricultural produce, so a reduction in the former, proportionate to the reduction in the latter, ought to be made. " That with a view towards equLlising the price of labour and the retail price of provisions, with the whole sale purchase of the saute, the Court has, throughout the public department of the Riti:ag, ordered a material reduction to be made. " The price now paid to artificers and labourers is as follows : I'er Ii cad per day. S. D. Per head per day.

Bankes, M.P., has presented to that University library several valuable books, recently printed at Milan and Venice, among which are the classical works edited by Angelo Maio, the learned librarian of the Natican ; the (Arc nicht of Emblem. by Aucber ; Ciakciak's Italian, Armenian, and Turkish Dictionary; and Aucher's Armenian and Eng lish Grammar. Mo►t of these rare and curious works are on fine paper, and are rendered more valuable from the limited number of copies which were printed, in some instances only twenty having been struck off. When first the art of printing was di covered, one side only of a page was made use of—the expedient of im pressing the other was not yet found out. Specimens of these early printed books are in his Majesty's am , Lord Spencer's libraries. Afterwardsehey thought of pass ing the blank sides, which made them appear like one leaf. It is singular that the Romans, who had stereo types, or printing immovable types, with which they stamped their pottery, should have failed to apply the invention to their literary works. The following specimen of epistolary and orthogra phical knowledge (or rather ignorance) is a copy ver batim !iterating, of a letter sent by a farmer near Kingebridge, a short time since, addressed to a Vestry Meeting. Had the writer's head done justice to his heart, his epistle must have equalled any of Cicero's : the ignorance displayed by the one, is overbalanced ten-fold by the feeling of humanity which proceeds from the other. We give publicity to it more from • desire to expose the inhumanity of those who could keep the poor man, when soliciting that pittance, which ne cessity had driven him to ask, and which the laws of his country had bestowed on him as his right, perhaps scantily covered—exposed to the inclemency of the season, and then, instead of attending to his demand, put him off with—co,ne again on Sunday:— ' To The Minister and Churchwardens and Oversees of the Parish of Diptford and to home it may Consarne in the Hundred of Stanbrough.

A primary school on the plan of mutual instruction, bad been established at Boulogne-sur-51er in 1819, tinder the auspices of t'se Sub-Prefect, M. Herman, at present Prefect of Landes. All the Magistrates and function. aries, without exception, the servants of Hovernment, and the most opulent inhabitants of the town, to the number of 144, contributed by subscription to defray the expense of establishing this schnol,and of supporting it. This school, which bas recently received an aug mentation of 200 scholars, has jest been suppressed by a decision of the University, which, however. It is hoped, w;11 be repealed. at least, if it is not the result of a retrogade movement in the method of teaching, which 't is difficult to suppose.—(French paper.) ) I. , OLD itiei —; --Tuns Moustsc. T Jeremiah Alines Rees 'mg was indicted for stealing two gold w a t c h es , t h e roperty of Jamei Ogaton and others.- James Ogston stated, he was a partnei. 6 the house of Dwerihouse and Cantor, is Davies Street, Berkley Square. He had known the prisoner about two or three years before this transaction took place. Oo oaf occasion, he sold prisoner a French gold watch; for' seven guineas, for which be paid. He very often came to the ahop. On the list of Nov. 18±I, he called, .and said, be was commispioned by a young nobleman to send him two gold watchee, end requested witness to select two, which he coulkercommend. Witness selected the two in quellon, ;video together amounted to the snm of 89/. Witness asked the name of the Nobleman t prisoner replied, lie must beg to be excused disclosing the name of the young gentleman, as his friends would not like him to possess each expensive articles. About three weeks afterwards, prisoner called again, and stated that the young gentleman had received the watches, but was subpmned on a trial at York, and could not attend to the payment of them till it was over. Prisoner came again some time afterwards, and stated that it was then the shooting season, and the promise of pay ment could not be attended to. At length, on another occasion, he came sod said that the young Nobleman had unfortunately goo, to the Continent. Witness then became impatient( and went on a Sunday to the house of the prisoner, in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, when lie inform ed witness that be wad cattier embarrassed thee; but the business should be settled shortly. Finding that he was not likely to obtain either money or watches, lie put a o nit into the hands of a SherifriOtlicer, named Radford. The prisoner then offered to give him a bill for the amount which witness said he would accept if a good one. Prisoner had left off coming to the shop a consider able time heforthe obtained the writ against bim. Mr. ANDRIMiI cross-examined the witness at consi derable length, and Contended that here was no ease to go to a Jury, ltasmitch as an affidavit made by the wit ness, which he had produced, declared the prisoner to be indebted to him in the snm charged for the watches. and therefore the charge of stealing must fall to the ground. This was a bona fide sale and delivery of the property in question. Mr. HOLLAND replied and referred to several cases in which the Judges had decided that a hiring with intent to convert to their own use and profit was a felony, and cited the case of Major Semple, who hired a carriage and applied the produce to his own use. The Judges in that case decided that the getting possession of the carriage, with the fraudulent purpose of convert. ing the proceeds of its sale to his own use, was to all intents and purposes a stealing. 1 Mr. ANDREWS replied that the eases referred to by Mr. Holland were totally dissimilar, as in the case of Major Simple—there was a hiring —which was perfectly understood between the parties to he a hiring only—but in this case there was a regular sale and delivery, which of course made it a bona fide transaction between)elitor and Creditor. _ The Loup Cum Barton, after consulting with the other Judges, was of opinion that the case must go to I the Jury. But they thought it better not to state the reason now. The Prisoner, in his defence, said that he should leave his case in the hands of the Jury and this Honourable Conn. The. Jury retired for a considerable time, and on their return, gave a Verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner is (fetal ned on another charge, of ob taining, by false pretences, a certain assignment, for the payment of 3t.10/., with latent to cheat and defraud Charles Butler Hall. Kr.

Dovsp,")Am 16.—Inquests were held today, before John Jeliest Esq. Mayor and Coroner for this town, on the bodies of Wm. Cullum, late deputed mariner of the Badger revenue ct.tter, and on three persons, whose names are unknown, forming part of the late crew of The Three Brothers clutter, brought into this harbour by the Badger, who were killed in the action between the two vessels (as mentioned in THE STATESMAN of the 15th,) and, after an investigation of live hours, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some per. son or persona unknown." in the case of Cullum ; and a verdict of "justifiable homicide," in the ease of the three men. In the course of the evidence, it appeared, that after the smuggler had called to the revenue officers for quarter, which was granted. that the former tired into the Badger, by which the deceased, William Cullum, was killed. On Monday last there were some chests of tea picked up on the water, off the Old Head of Kinsale, by the Hookers, some of which have been seised by the Reve nue Officera, and Preventive Water Guard there. The tea which must have been of the best green or hyson, is quite damaged from the sea water, and the cheats are marked "Ship Beaver,of NewYork."—(Cork Mercury.) A Scottish gentleman in the Lothians sent one of Small's ploughs, as a present to an agricultural friend in Sussex ; and, thinking the plough alone would be of little use, lie despatched with it a stout, active, intelli gent young ploughman, of the name of Sandy Penny, to instruct the peasants on his Sussex friend's farm in the mode of using this valuable implement. Sandy began his labours, but found that when his master was not pre-; sent, his instructions were received with contempt ; and himself, his plough, and his country, treated with scorn and derision. For a time he bore meekly all the taunts of his fellow-labmrers; but Sandy was not a philoso pher; his patience became exhausted, and he resolved to lay his grievances before his master, and request per mission to return home.—" What are your grievances, Alexander ?" said his master.— " rweel, Sur, (replied Sandy) they are mair than mortal Mlle can put up wi.' No that I baeony objection to yourael'; and na muckle to the kintra ; for I'm no sic a colt as to prefer the sour east woos, that meets us at the ekreigh o' day on our hare leas, to the sift south•wasters and loon enclosures here; but ye're folks, Sur, are prefect deevils, and keep tormenting me like a bink o' harried wasps. In short, Sur, maist demented, sick o' the place, and I just, w' your wul, wish to gae !same." Here Sandy made his best bow. " But we must not (said his master) allow ourselves to be beaten off the field so easily. Pray, Alexander, have you ever tried your powers at boxing ?" " As fur that (replied Sandy), I'm no muckle used to fetching; but I doubt na I could gie as gnde as I got.—" Well, (rejoined his master,) I will give you a crown-piece if you give the first person that in sults you a hearty box on the ear." Sandy, for a few seconds, consulted the physiognomy of his master's countenance, and having satisfied himself tint be was in earnest, replied, " Weel ! weel, Sur ! wi' ye're leave, l'se try my ban'; and, scraping his foot on the ground as he withdrew, with a determinatiou to reduce his mas ter's precepts into practice. An opportunity soon oc curred; and, in a regular set-to young Penny gave his antagonist a beating to his heart's content. It wrought like a charm ; the plough was soon generally approved of on the farm ; and several others having been obtained from the North, Sandy's master, in calculating his an nual profits, soon found the advantage of the ars:unea ten, nelpegiuson, and the real value of a Scota Penny. —(Glasgow Journal.)
