The hum*, dutiful, and unanimous Address of the Ministers Churchwardens, and Vestrymen of the Parish of St. Marx le-bonne. :" We, the Minafor ' Churchwardens, and Vett-men of the Parish of St. Mary-le-honor, in the County of Middlesex. in Vestry assembled, deeply ;impressed with . horror and detests. tion of the most atrocious act of assassination committed on the person of the Right Honourable Spencer Perceval, so eminent for his public and private virtues, beg leave, with profound re. spect, at this momentous crisis, to express to your Royal High ness our indignatitin and heartfelt regret. •• We trust that the same sentiments with which we are ani mated will excite the efforts of all his Majesty s dutiful and loyal stshieets throughout the United Kingdom, to the due main tenance of the laws, and of the happy Govownment, under which the i goodness of Providence has placed mi."- Pen trots.—Late as it is in the season, incalcula-1 ble good will yet be done, if in every family and establishment the following simpleand easy regulation shall he adopted. Before the potatoes are washed,for boiling, cut off about half an inch of the top of each potatoe, and throw the cutting into a basket; every top contains from four to six of the - mast productive eyes, and may he divided into two, three, or (Our cuttings, according to the size of the top, each cut ting will given set,' and each set, when planted, will ;We from three to 8 lb. weight of good potatoes the ensuing year. The diminution from each potatoe, will he wholly inconsiderable. Let this regulation prevail in every family, from the highest to the low est. It imports all ranks to attend to it. At the end of two, three, or four weeks, from b thls time, the wealthy may bestow their cuttings for planting; the poor may sell their cuttings by the bushel, for nearly the first price of potatoes.—ln all garrisons, barracks, hospitals, schools, and other public esta blishments, this regulation, if observed, will afford infinite advantage; it wilt keep down the price of po tatoes, and preservefbr fond those that will be other wise bought for seed. Potatoes may be planted till the middle of Jude: If parochial meetings were held, and every householder requested to have the foregoing regulation observed in their -families, great public hetit•fit must be the result. There has not happened in Scotland, for many years, a more remarkable occurrence than the de struction of the estate of Culbin, in Morayshire, which was occasioned by the sand being blown in such quantity from the adjoining hilirof Mary-town, as entirely to cover the mansion -house, orchards, gardens, and every part of the estate. .his cala mity was owing to the pulling of bent (or starwort) in great quantities, which loosening the soil, left it i nt the mercy of the winds, which, in a short time, destroyed this fine estate. An Act of Parliament was made, which is still in force, to prevent the pulling up of bent by the roots—pity it had not been previous to this sad catastrophe. The estate of Cul bin was one of the finest and most fertile in the county of Moray, and, for its fertility, was styled tho Granary of Moray. It is now 688 years since the estate of Culbin was given by F. de Moravia, the progenitor of all the Morays, to his youngest son, I Richard of Culbin. A match against time took pike on Monday se'n. night, upon Portobello Sands, near Edinburgh, be; tween two Officers of the 6th Dragoon Guards, one of whose horses wati to trot, walk, and gallop nine miles itt an hour, which he accomplished in the fol lowing manner, gaining the het by half a minute:— Trott..., 3 miles in 1? minutes. W;il.eti 1 miles in 39e Galloped 3 miles in 71 --••••••—... We are sorry to have to state, that several seri ons disturbances took place last week betwixt the soldiery and the town's people, originating, in part, in the drunken tricks of two or. three of the Carlow ml 4 tia, ,wean had_ been volunteering . into the line.— 'On Tuesday evening a butcher 'llo,lds fate tremen. ' deusly cut, and a soldier was (wantonly) shot at and badly wounded in the thigh.' Much of the ill blood manifested, we learn, has been produced by the shameful and odious use of nick-names and national distinctions, by the lads of the town, whose conduct we must say, not only in this business, but on many occasions, demands the serious. attention of the Po. lice. No other serious mischief, that we know of, has been. done in these quarrels; but, in White- Margate, on Wednesday night, a corporal in the above regiment, meeting with Mr. Knight, of the Nag's-Mead public-house, in company with the mas ters of three vessels, attacked them furiously with a stick, and not satisfied with assaulting them in this way, ran his bayonet into Mr. Knight's body. The wound is not mortal, and Mr. Knight is in a fair way of recovery. At the town-hall, ou Thursday, the man, who was almost instantly secured by Mr. Knight's friends and the watchman, was examined ; before My. Osbourne; and pleaded drenkenness as the cause of his rash act ; and it is but justice to him' *astute, that he received an excellent character front his oftioers, and expressed the most serious contri tion, declaring that he cared not what punishment he endured, so, that Mr. Knight recoved from his wound.—( Hull Paper). MR. PERCEVia'S FUNERAL. Saturday morning the remains of Mr. Perceval were removed from his h: use in Downing-street, for Interment in the family vault, at Charlton, in Kent, where Mrs. Perceval's mother resides. At eight o'clock a great concourse of Nobleman's and Gen-, tlemen's carriages were assembled at Whitehall, op posite Privy Gardens. At nine the proce%sion moved from Downing-street in the following order : Metes and Attendants on horseback, Hearse and Sic with the Body, Six Mourning Coaches, followed by 25 Carriages, she Carriages of tbe Cabinet lfiaiurrs , Relatives of the deceased, lab owl! Carriage, &c. The procession moved slowly on towards West minster-bridge. In the first mourning coach was Lord Arden, attended by hip Chaplain and another Gentleman ; in the second wire the Lord Chancel lor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Ilarrowhy, and Mr. Secretary Ryder. Among the mourners in the other coaches were Lord l'erceval, Lord Redes dales the Marquis Wellesley, the Earls of West morland and Buckinghamshire; Lords Sidmouth, Camden, Bathurst, Castlereagh, Melville, and Messrs. Arbuthnot, Wharton, Croker, Brooksbank, &c. A party of the City Light Horse attended at New ington Butts, and accompanied the procession to the Church, in order to testify their respect for Mr. Per cefal, who was a Member and Treasurer to that va luable addition to our Volunteer defence. The cofl'►n, which incloses the corpse of the late Prime Minister, was very superb. The inscription was as follows : Right Honourable SPENCER PERCEVA Chancellor of tketitchequer, First horduf the Treasury, - - Prime Minister pf England, Fell by the Hand of as ASSASSIN in the Common" asuse of Parliament, May 11, A. I). 181 Y, ia the 50th year of his age; born, Nov. Ist, A. D. 1762. Cs.trvtom.—A few days since a swindler, calling himself Mr. J. J. came to the Livery Stables of Mr. Ballinger, of Chelmsford, and desired he might be provided with a horse and gig, to proceed to Bur ford; the request was complied with, and no fraud expected. It has since been discovered that this Mr. J. J. left the horse and gig with Mr. Cox, innkeeper, at Belford-bridge, in the county of Warwick, a. ;I after giving a note for teu pounds, al a short date, and receiving cash in exchange, proceeded with a chaise and pair of the landlord's, to Warwick, and has not since been heard of. The swindler is a man about live feet six inches in height, marked with the small-pox, dressed. in black, appears about f..rty, and had a child near twelve years old with him,whom he called. his son. THOMAS PO - 41.—A late author says, that he and three other gentlemen, induced by curiosity to sec-a man that had raised such a storm in the political world, went to visit him a short time before his death. They found him sitting behind a table, which was necessary to his support, as he had received a par.ily tic stroke. He was endeavouring to shave himself. After the usual compliments, the visitors drew their chairs, and-sat down. The usual enquires were made by Mr. Paine, about the news, &c. His appear ance was that of a superior mind. He had beeu a tall man, and, as far as the writer could judge, well made. His blue eye was full, lucid, and indicated his true character. His conversation was calm and gentleman-like, except when religion orparty poli tics were mentioned. In this case, he became iras cible.. His intellect did not appear impaired. He died as, he lived, a professed deist, and refused . the conversation of any clergyman, and was said to be worth 7 or 80001. Lomcevivir.--There are now living in a small house, consisting of three apartments, on the estate of Hugh Mossman, Esq. near Lesmahago, Lanark shire, Scotland, three women (Janet Young, aged 98; Janet Lindsay, 90; and Mary Lindsay, 82, the two last sisters), whose joint ages amount to 270, and eyesight and other faculties unimpaired, • are daily employed in spinning flax and other necessary avocations, and attend regularly on public worship at some distance on Sundays, &c. Naw AMERICAN MEER tNlSM.—Various have been the efforts of man in every age, to render the differ ent laws Of nature, and the elements themselves subservient to his use, with a view to lesson manual labour. Wind, water, and fire, all have been sub ject .to the service of man ; and it is with pleasure we see and hear of steam boats and steam mills succeed ing beyond our most sanguine hopes. la addition to these, we have been recently informed of a new mechanical power, or rather a new application of an old principle, to obtain a power for a mechanical purpose; end which has so completely succeeded, that Mr. Samuel Morey, of Oxford, New Ilamp shire, has a run of mill-stones which performs oue hundred revolutions per minute, and grinds wheat as fast and as well as any mill those parts, by this power. It is nothing more than creating a partial vacuum, or rarifying the air, in a capacious and elevated chimney ; the incumbent atmosphere rushing in at the bottom, ' sets a vibrating piston in motion, which communi cates its power to the mill stones. He asserts that, Hthe inaohino (if it may be so Galled), exclusive of the chimney and mill, cost less than five dollars, and has' not one ounce of iron in it,.and has the advantage of being free from fricti on , a n d consequently of wear. This invention will furnish a cheap and simple power for manufactories in every place, Mr. Morey has secured the invention, by entering n specification at the patent office; but is expected on to this city in the course c.f the Spring.—(Philade4phia Freon:ate; Journal.) A melancholy accident happened a few days ago in the town of Etallynahinch. A number of chil dren had been sporting themselves along the banks of the river which runs past that town; upon their re turn home, four o f th e m wer e taken suddenly ill, and from the manner in which they were affected, their parents became alarmed, 'lest they had eaten of some noxious plant, ohen cisuftrf them confessed they bad with the others eaten Of something they found growing near the river, which, upon exarntna ' lion, proved to be hemlock. Medical aid was imme diately procured :'three of them, after lingering some time, recovered; but the fourth, a fine boy, six years of age, expired in the greatest agony. It is to be remarked, that tie survivors had taken some .victoill prier to their eating this .baneful, plant ) the ether had uot. OLD 'nisa,EY. was capitally indicted nof it. ame • 1 ssenden to a certain ll transfer forOfnorSgaittiogrtdialeyiGiaemer transfer of stock, with intent to defraud the Go. tensor and Company of the Bank of Kngland. The facts of the case were these :—ln Itsos, the Prisoner was a steward of a Benefit Society . a t Maid. stone, and was directed by the Society to buy in the 3 per Cents. Reduced 261 1. stork ; iu the name of R. Bissendeo, another member of the same Society and also in his ow n . Thi s stock he purchased, and down till !ast January the Society received from hint their regular dividends, although he had left iksid. stone to rie.ide near London. In January last the ...faddy came to a resolution of selling out this stock, for the purpose of lodging it in the Kent Bank, at • Maidstone. In consequence of this resolution their • Secretary wrote to desire Miller to sell out the stock g and Miller answered his let ter by saying, that as lie un derstood there was some difference of opinion P.71011g the members as to the safety of selling it out, heshould let it remain where it was, until the Society should i fix on some place of safety wherein to lodge it. The Society then demanded of him to execute a deed of trust, m hick he expressed his willingness to do, pro. tided the Society would agree to let it remain in the Bank cf England. They then went to the Bank of England to enquire if such stock had _ever bee n bought, when they found that' on the 2.3trof 1805, 2001. 3 per Cent. Reduced, had been bought in the names of G. Miller, of :Maidstone, coach. maker, and R. Bissenden, of Maidstone, grocer, but that it had 1):•en transferred in the same names on the 17th April, 1807. The signature of B. Bic. sender to this transfer being shown to R. Bissenden, grocer, .of Maidstone, he declared it not to be his; and the Prisoner was in consequence sent for by 'NIL Kaye, Solicitor to the Bank, who questioned bin on the subject. The Prisoner told Mr. Kaye that he had been authorized by the Club to purchase the stoc): in any name beside his own he pleased ; and ha had accordingly purchased it in the name of Bis,en. den, who then resided at Norwich, but he did iet know what had become of him. Mr.. Kaye shewal him that was impossible, as jt was in the name of R. Bissonden, of Maidstone, grocer. The Prisoner next day, before the Lord Mayor, said he had pun. chased in the name of 11. Bissenden, who was, at the time of the purchase, with Russell and Pintan. of Maidstone, grocers, who had afterwards resided at Dartford, in Kent, `and last at Norwich : since which, the Prisoner • did hot know what had becoine of him. Mt. Piman proved that they had not any one of the name of It. Bissenden with them since the year 1790. Several very respectable witnesses gue ttn. setter an excellent character before this transaction. The Jury retired for some time, and returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. Mary Best was capitally convicted of uttering two forged one-pound notes, purporting to be of the Bank of 'England. VENERABLE AP:TWIT Y.—A traveller observed, that in a particular district in Italy ► the peasants iii• variably loaded their panniers with vegetables on one side, and balanced the opposite pannier by filling it with stones ; he pointed out the advantage to be gain ed by loading both panniers with vegetables; he was answered, that their forefathers, from time immemo rial, had so prepared their produce for market; that they were very wise and good men ; and that a stranger sheaved very litte understanding or decency, who interfered in the established customs of • country.
