" The only remedy for our grievances—a full, fair, free, and *nal terweaannition of the people in the Commons House of Par. Lament."

The i l liTol i-- pposer.of Paslisoinitary oppression, the powerful tril , tatetent "delicate of Ream, our worthy Representative, Sir Feuds Bunted." The elreets 'with 'er'hicli this toast was received were loud, long, end alattsfailie. sir Figurer* &IDE?? said it could not bat be in the highest d egvee gratifying to his feelings, that after so long a connexion with theta, be sfill received their approbation, founded, as he was as sured it wiyi, cei that principle of justice which the electors of West. :tenter übiformly acted. He had met with the same cordial and tiattering reception in very different times, and ander very different carestuitsanca—,tiates of great danger, and circumstances of pees. liar allicalty ,-. and it was a proud thing to him, that be could now *tet with a like reception as when he first had the honour of being krottp to thep. In the few wards with which Mr. Adams had in. tlindeortt his health, that gentleman seemed to say, that after hal , . ;r.g gone through so and perilous duties, and having en. ,iountered sonic of the.efterra of an irresponsible Ministry, he sieved to see'. that some indulgence was due to him (Sir F.) He Iti' db claim qn their indulgence. If they believed that his ab. tin* fro& thelfouse of Commons in the last Session of Puha 'bine era% bdt Ibr the good of the people, and that his duties as their ,ikepitesetuatiet were neglected by a seeming remissness, lia. (geld . moue than, that had such a feeling been known tp . i4m.they .would sot have found him shunt. But he need eel stale to thew, that a constant attendance in the House of theallite's; pa at present constituted, was merely nugatory ; indeed, ienitheeassisted to keep up a deception ; and he had very great denst,dhedta it was not better to forbear altogether attending t Aa.;.i. llan to amnesiacs the present defective system, by their' sembiag acquiseace; in short, he doubted whether it would not Lk reoee wise (hat the yoke should weigh heavy on their necks, tesn that they shotild, by constant practice, accustom themselves to Loser its degraingtMethen. This he would assure them, that when. ertrany alreatenertion should be required, all that was in his poser to accomplish, every effort that he could make, should be at t)Fir comtnar.4. The question of reform, which had been nub°. fled in the trait ' was not only so trite, obvious, and familiar to the Ault people or Eitglend, but was a subject so well understood, 1-.. i ; ablf supported by the wisest statesmen, and the ablest con stitutiocii wihers,dhat it would be an abuse, and a waste of time, t 4emer very roily ypen it. Yet it was necessary to say something, border to cottrince that phalanx of men, who opposed all that was Iteerai r .thatat oligarch y now ruling over this country, weitt eiv trier *le disregard to the dearest interests of freedom, to convince t hem that the people of England were deeply impressed wins rive principle, that without reform no effectual check could be gteautoylkie niters. But this was a question so will and tho •:aoglk discussed. that it required not any arguments front him to ettfAhlf iti truth upon their tninds. Reform in Parliament was the odlir Amos of enabling the people to control the power set over tisin'for tear et.e and service :—a power originally created by theme:Ws, sad which ought therefore ever to be subject to those aal . tibteg checks which the interests of the people, front time to time, reit:pito be exercised. To have checks upon Government was to hued le free Coestituthm ; not to have checks was to be in slavery , be - WA gaiety/ he mare or lem of wisdom, or more or less of vio lable: Jethro Blackstone had written on this question; and though • be. Inas encietelbeed to oppose the powers that were, yet m, ttiev ys, web had been the declension of politic principle, and aticife ascendancy of arbitrary power, that his works, compared with s acs of the present day, were what would be denominated rash jmobinical. Thstleamed writer laid it down as a Constito- , none( axiom, that the people a ere a part of the Legislature. The prineeple was, that the people were all present at making the law.; the f t the fact was not so was obvious, but such was the principle. AqXil w'as equally °lsnot', that a free people now. have some i.oorer oter their Rulers, and be able to put bridles on their governors, or the people would themselves ;wear chains. 1t.,: u :faunetely for them, their Governors made their men rules, ar4altetnelesaly, and he would add shamefully, called themselves t.ae frienJA of the people, while by all their nteeaures they were making themselves the enslavers of them. To mention only a few of raise arts, which it would make every honest Englishman MAN to look at, and which to put upon the statute-book their enamor wmild have dreaded to have done—the existence of wltiela Acts went to prove that the ruin of the nation could only lie coesuum4l , I, es the gloat Lord Burleigh hid said, by an Eng lad( Moto. c of CiltPllloWo : in addition to the ;six Acts, which, in the ierith 3, tar of pc ice, the Ministers had not had the demet)! to :Adel,' et.-re (elmd here in England, a country a!itch had eve.- beei tbe 'asylum of the unfortunate, and had ever sheltered tits chile food the lot act of (reign tyranny-.even here we had the A Ito itt , %elicit he (sir IMacis) called a part of the Covemmeht ot rd.: eorntry, .1 pent( iitation, as far as they dared participate, .1 tile 'principles of the Holy Alliance.

This was a poli-7 he 17101 t • , tr.w.g!y deprecated ; England ought not to I av cssty tiMg to do with:melt measures: they ought dot to be 1: ..e:tt tie. litgli police of the Continent. lie was sure that if the 1',..:t !e 4.' i:dgland were fairly represented they , would nut forfeit 0 ••.' r'et-ru :er amongst foreign nations which they had so long I :r• fit- all that eas greet, and liberal, and enlightened , —a che m.-La that rot only regardod Its owe liberty but the liberty of every eiteeile..hetlieg that the eause•al beechen was a twin:nal cease, and admitting no distinctions of nation or climate : but now it seemed all this was to he lost, after the many ye to of war and the incurring of eight millionsof debt for supporting a monarch's cause, and placitag him on the them, of Pearce, which monarch now treated them, he could not help saying, just as they deserved. Yet there was a nation to which they yet might tern, and shew that their character was not quite lost to that feeling of generous +lnt pithy towards the unfortunate brave—he meant Greece. slay they realise in that country all that the heart of a freeman could yearn after. In ineteioning Greece there was a name connected with h which was deer to every friend of libertv—.a name which, at the same time that it called up to them recollections most grateful and pleasitig to the mind, sins at that moment calculated `n ex cite teelin f e. of great TC-Tret, yet he trusted, not of deepair—a name ' dear to this country—a name that would be horded down to pee ; terity in connection with the brightest and hest amociations_a I name, in short, that had about it all duet genius and patriotism, and an uncalculating philanthropy, could ennoble and make hope ; it was iinpossible to mention the cause of Greece and rot to have one's heart reverberate with the name of Byron! (Cheers.) And though overpowered in a great ilegrec at the con templa•ion of that mighty mime which, when they considered all that was comprehensive in intellect, all that was sublime in genius, all that was great in patriotism, they could not but fed that the cause of Greece had sustained a most serious loss • yet they were not to he disheartened, hut to perievete in their efforts towards the work that had thus been so nobly ceponeel ; and, though under very different ciministanees, be trusted the result waled be what that great man, whose name he had mentioned, had so ardently aimed at and desired. It was melancholy to lieek at the other parts ofj Europe. and to think of Italy, a country of superior refinement and intelligence where the most tyrannical and the most stupid' power was grinding down the people; and to ti iak too tied England should aid this !--to think that the Slinisters at the ten • nt peace might have secured the freedom of that country. and yet at that moment that land of arts and genias was, in common with other , pow era of Europe, labouring under the hand of ignorant arbitrary power. It' ith regard to the foreign policy of this errantry, he was not inclined to fall in with the general panegyric of the slay. If some reduction of taxes had been efiletel, and some less rigorous ; menetires had been acted upon by Cite el trashy, yet he could rot forget that mien of exactions which for so many years had been pear heed upon England. It had been said at one time by those , who had an interest in keeping up the system of comup. lion, whenever Reform was promeeml, that the petitions of the people were only the result of their distresses ; another time, the season was unfit for imitating the eunetion, foe It was war— and :hey asked how could you think - of doing such a thing now ? ISnt now peace WaS arrived—this was not the hurricane . t1e..111, as it was staid. when they were not to repair their housed ; Mut now was the time for all the peolde of England in eines forward, whn, having seen that there (veld be no, liberty nor equal law unites a Reform in Parliament was cf f icted, ehoold unite niore strenuously than ever, to demand ! that only good and efficient measure. It had been said that the friends of reform could not agr, upon any particular mode; it would be sell if some •ilan cull be proposed on which all Fe.; fernier, roeil agree, and thus deprive those who objected to go into a Cennuittee until some steed& plan was suggested. It ap peorea to hint, Sir Francis, that there hod been a plan marked out of that kind, which possessed a character eeleuleted to unite all the Ite:onitis , a; it was of a moderate kind, and partook of prin ciple, that were hieltly eattoary—he meant that . plan proposed by his lion. Friend, Mr. letaibton, in the last Sermon of Parliantene, the groundwork of which was—household tranchise--trionnial elections, and voting is districts, so that a general election might be over in one day. In Well lie hod proposed a plan upon, as he thooght, itrefutable priaciples—le meant universal suthage aud minted parliaments ; but to effect something practical it was ne cessary that each man must yieldtiontething of his own particular opinions, and he therefore thought CIA no one was so likely to pro. duce that good as the one propo , e , t by his lion. Friend, having the advantage of being what i. termed imederate,and which ought to meet witn the approbation of the people. Should this be so, he should wish petitions to be sent up front all parts of the country, demand ing that species of reform, and (111/I he thongtst they should see acme protection of the people, eery dilftient from what could lie derived from the present Ministers and from the Acts of the Statute Book. Ile would tow refer to a measure which was then in progress in the House of Commons—he meant the ('aunty Courts Bill ; and which was intended to curtail the time of proceeding and the ex penses ; the greatest objection was to that part of it which made so many provisions for the gentlemen of the bar. It had been the habit to joke in speaking of the bar, but be was happy to say, that he believed the bar never possessed more integrity, more talent, more honour, than at the present time. lie said this because they bad many of that honourable profession in the ranks of the He. corinists, and there were then before hint men who had given an earnest both of their integrity and talent, and which he hoped would aot only be for the benefit of the country but for themselves also. If they approved of the plan of Reform which he had men tioned, and of th e measures he had taken the liberty to recommend for its promotion, he was sure the electors of Westminster would not be backward in adopting it, by which means he trusted they would arrive at that happy state of liberty and peace that would prevent their gmernors from distressing the people abroad, and from oppressing their fellow - countrymen at home. J. Cs. Lennie o se. Em. rose to propose the health of J C. Bob , house, Esq. Ilia friendship for that gentleman would not permit hint to enter much into his merits, but he could say that he was worthy of being their representative, and a colleague of Sir F. Bur dett, and in saying this he considered he had ascribed to him all that was worthy of a Member of Perliament and an Englishman. " The steady friend of reform, the constant advocate of the rights of the people s our other worthy liepresentatire, J. C. Hobhouse, Mr. If onitouse said he was truly sensible of the honour done hint by the tetras and the manner in which they had drank his health, and that be felt the claims which the people of Westmin ster, and, if he might venture to say it, the people of England had upon him for all that he could do. It wail n ot for the friendship of any particular men, or for mere praise, that he sought, but for the approbation of men capable of judging and reasoning for them selves; and he thought it was a suffident tradesony that the principles he had adopted . were correct, and that he had not altogether failed in carrying them into action by the very une quivocal manner in which they had just drank his health. ll'hat his 114.-4 Colleague bad said was so true respecting the great ques , tion they were met together upon, that it was not necessary for him to repeat it. It had beet said that their present state of prosperity had done away with the necessity of the cause they had hitherto espoused ; but he thought they were begging the question to :em pose that their comparatively peaceful and prospeents situation had left them nothing to advocate; they bad something still to inspire the true friends of liberty, and in spite of the taunts and sneers that had been thrown out against them ' and the many tittle pleasantries that had been attempted to be playeall upon what was called the sinecure of a Parliamentary lie. former, and the statement that the spirit bad died away, be had only to look around him and to behold his constituents there assembled, at once to refute so groundless and futile an assertion. lie had baud it said in Parliament that there never was, since the Revoletion, such a union among all parties of the people. lie granted that there was an occasional period of repose horn the labours of Constitutional warfare with corruption. Some time was necessary for relaxation; but what had that to do with their meeting ' there that day ? After reverting to the policy of the Ministers as re ; girded Ireland and the European Continent, the Hon. Goat. adverted to Greece, and said, let us not despair ; the cause had taken root in Greece, and let us 'thaw ouradmiration to our noble countryman, not in mere praise, but by following his noble example : let us convince our friends, die Greeks here present with us to-day, that there is a nation, if not a Government, who will still advocate the cause of freedom for mankind, and oppose the tyranny of the despots of the East, protected, as they may deem themselves, by the long lapse of age.. 'l'o that cause I will ever be true—l have no interest to be otherwise, and if I had, the fame of having one's name linked in so glorious ail enterprise is enough to countebalance all other feelings; it is not to epftemeral praise to which we look; it is that our names may j go down to posterity, blended with the history of deeds whose benefits to the world will never cease. Lord Nugent then proposed. •• Slesineure terlatido and Luriotis, and the independence of Greece." - - Jl. 01!LANDO rcturnedthanks in Greek.

SIR,—As the disciples of GALL and Sroitzisein appear to multiply considerably of late, it is of great importance . that their doctrines should be subjected to the test of seri ous anal sound investigation. If craniology, or, to us e the term more generally adopted, phrenology, is to obtain, as it seems likely, the rank of ,t science, the correctness of its first principles cannot he too severely scrutinized. You will therefore permit me, I trust, through the medium of your journal, which appears to embrace all topics of general In terest, to seek for some information eti this head from such of those professors as may be inclined and qualified to im part it. I confess it seems to me not only that the subject is full of difficulties, but that, even should those difficulties 11.• made to disappear, there are consequences involved in it which it would not be easy to admit, and still less to re concile to our habitual notiots of the order in which things are conductul in 11:is world, and which makes us account able beings in wmther. I have certainly no great fond ness for the common systems of metaphysical philosophy : I think they have contributed little or nothing to the int provement of our nature, either moral or intellectual ; but they have at least one advantage—they shed no unkindly i &lice; they put the faculties under no particular re. ' mien, but leave them to ripen under the ordinary course 'of cultivation: this, if not very salutary, is, at least, safe; but whether as much can be said for the system of !Arent,- logy, 1 have some doubt. Not that I should be prepared to reject it, if its principles are true, from any weak fear of the results to which these principles may lead in argument, because V.tire is no utaxito en which I have a more thorough reliance than this, that what ever principle is found in the constitution of our na ture to be true, may be pursued without danger through the reh dr train if its conseynences : and that error alone need shrink from the ultimate conclusions which fol low from it. I fre..ily adult, therefore, that if the doc trines of phrenology are well-ascertained truths, they can not be hostile either to the deductions of reason or to the in t' rests of virtue ; but this, I contend, ought to be proved to irr. sistibie conviction, before we can consent to conduct the education of our intellectual and mural faculles on the theory which it enjoins. If it he trial that one hated differs from another in figure, as one star differed' from another star in glory, in this case the phrenologists have it all their own way, and tae philosotihy of the human mind must be content to come r.nvitl, and we must kneel at the feet of the new Ga so A LI k: is. Alter an. however, I by no means feel disposed to withhold my full tribute of respect for the understand ing of very many of those persons whom I know to be among the endlosiastic and conscientious disciples of the phrenological system ; and as the facts upon which it is made to rest must be, if correct, capable of demonstration, every objection to it ought, in my opinion, to be courted, that it may be fully met and fairly answered ; and so far 1 will do the professors of this system the justice to allow, that they have never attempted to withdraw it from inves tigation ; hut the leading difficulty yet remains to be got rid of, so far at least as my inquiries have gone, which is this—if the mind collects and concentrates its different' faculties into different points and portions of the brain, as developed on its external aurfac.i, dues it not follow that we must act mechanical& ? And if so, does it not also follow that our moral conduct, however calamitous in its effect, must be traced to causes over which we have no influence, and for the result of which, therefore, we cannot justly be made responsible ? Our actions' cannot, as it appears to me, be either meritorious or punishable, if they are the result of organization, because we are its this case the crea tures of necessity, and are acted upon by a power oaf of ourselves. It may be that the system of phrenology is capa ble of being reconciled to the plans of Infinite Wisdom, and explained consistently with the award of Infinite Jus tice ; but if so, the extensive progress which the system is making requires that at least the proof of this consistency should go hand-in-hand with its reputation. I am, Sir, yours, &c. VIATOR. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD BATHURST, PRINCIPAL SECRETARY Or STATE FOR THE COLONIES. My Loan,—ln the last letter which I had the honour of ad- 1 dressing to your Lordship, I took a short, and I trust a faithful,' review of the Government of Newfoundland, front the time of its first settlement till the present ; and your Lordship seedy must in common candour admit, that such an undeviating system of his. rule wits never adopted towards any other poetino of his Majesty's dominions ; and to the desolating effects of that system alone can be attributed its present unimproved and impoverished state—with out a Government efficient for any local purpose, without a police, without roads, without establishments for the education of the peo ple--in short, without any of those institutions which are neces- 1 sary for the well-being of every civilized country. From the great advantages which have been derived from the trade and fisheries of Newfoundland, it might well be expected It would have received more attention and sympathy front the Parent Country. In tar present communication, I shall endeavour to prove to your Lordship, that the foundation of the great maritimel power of the Empire was laid in the fisheries of Newfoundland : 1 of this the Legislators of former days app.= to have been fully sensible. In 1149, during the reign of Edward the Sixth, an Act was passed for the better Encouragement of the Fisheries of stew_l foundland, which proves that they were even then considered of i sufficient importance to be made the subject of legislative enact ment. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth there were EflA vessels': employed in the Newfoundland fisheries; and as at that time the trade of England was comparatively tilling, and her foreign pos• sessions few, it may fairly be inferred that their fi sheries were then the principal nursery of those seamen who first established the su periority of the British navy. During the reigns of James I. and Charles I. the trade and fi sheries of Newfoundland engaged much of the attention of the Government of those times. Chalet 1., in a commission " for well governing his subjects in Newfoundland," states " that the navigation and mariners of the realm have been much increased by the Newfoundland fisheries." The preambles of Arts of the 11th and Ilth William and Mary declare " that the trade and fishery at Newfoundland is a beneficial trade to this kingdom, in the employing great numbers of seamen and ships, &c." to the increase of his Majesty's revenue, and the en couragement of trade and navigation; and the preamble of the Act of the Lith of George 111., for the encouragement of the Newfoundland fisheries, declares " that the fisheries carried an by his Majesty's subjects of Great Britain, and of the British dorm ' nions in Europe, have been found to be the best nurseries fur able and experienced seamen, always reedy to man the Royal Navy when occasion require ; and it is of the highest national importance to give all due encouragement to the said fisheries." But, r Lord, however important the Government of Great Britain, NI withiN the:tie:: years, considered the fisheries of Newfoundland, the Government of France always had, and still hare, at least an equal sense of their value, and uniformly availed themselves of the ' advantages they afforded for the increase of their naval force. The great Colbert gave them every encouragement, and the navy of that kingdom consequently attained 'Oat strength, that in the war which followed the abdication of James the second. it was able to make a powerful 'tend against the united fleets of England and Holland. The author of " the considerations on the trade to Newfound bind," inserted in the second volume of Churchill's Collection of I'oyagrs,ob,wrves, that "in the reign of Queen Anne, the French, by this trade, had so far incrased their riches and naval power, as to make all Europe stand in fear of them ; which plainly shoes, that %I years quiet possession of this trade is capable of making any prince the most ftirrnidahß tag us and land, by the yearly increase of men, ships, bullion, &c." Ile aweers, that the whole increase of the naval greatness of France bad its toundati in Imm this trade, and thus explains the grounds of this assertion. " The nature of this trade is such, that about one-futes.h of the tint employed in it are K , rem inch, that is, men who were never before at sea ; and the climate being very healthy, scarce one man in fitly dies in a voyage; whereas, in the voyages to the East and West Indies, few green men are employed, and it is too well known what great numbers Ire swept away in those unhealthy countries. And it further ap pears, that their naval strength arises from this trade, by looking back to their first beginning therein. France hod before very few ships, and these were of very inconsiderable force and bulk; whereas they have since been enabled freipiently to contend at sea with the naiad Pow,rs of England and Holland, and have besides ;;:eat many stout and large privateers to infest our coasts and min our merchants." lie adds, that, "at this time," namely towards the end of the seventeenth century, " the French were in the habit of employing in their fialterim about IWO sail of ships, a great many of which wer e of good burden, and mounted from it; to 40 guns to man ankh, they have, by a moderate computation. about 16,1100 call, of which one-fourth beingreern men, they must consequently breed up by this lingle trade 4,00 U sailnrs every year."

WILSON, D.D. I'. THE UNITED PARISHES OF ST. THOMAS 0 4 It~ , , , 1' Iff APOSTLE AND ST. MARY ALDEMAILY. This war a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, instituted by the rector of the united parishes of St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Mary A ideniary, in the City of London, against the churchwardens and parishioners, for not repairing the parish church. The pa.. rishiohers of St. Thomas the Apostle had not defended themselves, but for those of St. Mary Aldematy it was pleaded, that though they had always repaired the chancel, the rector was bound to repair the church. To this plea a replication was made by the rector, that from time immemorial both the church and the chancel had bet n repaired by the parishioners. On this replication issue was joined. On a fottlitr day, during this term, a rule was obtained by Nr.. calling upon the rector to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not issue to restrain the Erclesiastital Court trait proceeding, in order that the plea might be tried at common Law. This day 1)r. ADa If!1, for °he rector, argued at great length for the Mschargc of the rule. Ile contended that the Ecclesiastical l'ourt had always been held competent to try the existence of a ens tem not essentially ridiculous or contrary to reason. In support of his argument the learned civilian quoted a great number of CAWS. Mr. GasELEE and Mr. G. MARRIOTT followed on the same aide. ?tr. AAAAA TT then rose to reply. Having proceeded for sometime, the Learned Counsel we. interrupted by the Court, who deterred the further consideration of the rule. At three o'clock Mr. Justice Bayley withdrew. A few cases of no interest were afterwards heard. ARCHES COURT, MONDIY, MAY 24. (Before Sir Jolts Sic :tom—) TOE OFFICE. OF JUDGE PIIO3:OTED PALMER r. ItOFFEY. Dr. LUSIIIICGTON, for the promotion, having concluded his arguments on the last sitting of the Court, this muroing, Dr..l EN %En, on the part of the accused, addressed the Court at some length, anti proceeded to exviline the evidence produced, j for the purpose of substantiating the charges made, and contended that they were not proved. But it the Court should think them nroved so clearly as to induce it to &tide in favour of the primmer, he contended that, from the manner in which these proceedings had been carried on, his client ought not in be at whole of the expense, which would be excessively heavy from their nature. Dr. Pit r.t.IMOnE commenced, on the sate.e side, by o b serving, that he was of opinion a question might be raised as to whether j the Court had jurisdiction io the present use; for he contended that it was strictly out of the meaning of the statute under which these proceedings were instituted. 'fhe parish of Newington had been f ora considerable time divided and disturbed by two distinct parties, and nothing else could pessibly be anticipated than that upon an election for parish officers there would be a great deal of violent conversation. From the testimony of the Rector, instead of this one person cited, above ought to have been proceeded against in point of Eti,ness, upon the charge of brawling; for when the Rector was applied to send for a constable, he replied, that the meeting was carried on in a most irregular way, and that if one person was taken into custody the whole were liable, the whole being culpable. The Jr Finn then proceeded to pronounce judgment to the fol lowing edit-Li—This suit, he said, was sent there for the investi gation of a riot and brawl, committed in the parish church of St. Mary, Newington. by one of the churchwardens, named Richard Roffey, and the oftia, of Judge was promoted by Samuel Palmer, described as another churchwarden; and for the occasion of such proceedings the Court could not but deeply regret. The farts of the case were shortly these: —On Tuesday, the Ist of April, the parties met in the parssh church, and the Rev. 31r. ( Mslow took the chair. Ile instantly appointed 31r. Roffey his warden for the ensuing year. .Me. Refliy being somewhat obnoxious to many of the parishioners, his appointment stirred up an angry feeling. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Junes were put in nomi nation. A shear of hands was declared in favour of 31r. Palmer, and the friends of 31r. Jones demanded a poll--the polling corn. menced, but for the purpose of tiring out the meeting, one party refused to poll, and it was urged that the poll could nut be closed if one vote an hour was polled. When a poll is carried on in a sacred edifice, there ought to he that due adherence to decency, which the solemnity of the place calls for, and here he must beg to differ from the sentiments of the Learned Gentleman (Dr. Phillimore) upon this head, when he stated that it sill{ natural to expect that violent expressions would be used. If he was correct in the law. both parties were culpable. The Learned Judge concluded, by ordering that Richard Beffey should be suspended from entering the church for the space of one month, and with respect to costs they followed almost as a matter of course, and as the Court did not see any thing to induce it to mitigate them, it was bound to compel the accrued to pay the whole. The Cot UT then proceeded to hear the arguments ia a similar case, promoted by the same person against Tijom SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK SPRING MEETING.

The following pre. scription of an experienced farmer may not he unacceptable to some of cur readers:—`• What the animal is visited by a swellin,f, in the throat, accompanied with a giddim ss and stiff mek, which arc always the symptoms of the con tagion, and which, if not loak,al to, will soon produce, death, pla..e it inn well littered stall, with its head fixed by a halt r, in a poaition to admit the steam Runt a tub of boiling rain water up its nostrils, for atm hour, night and morning: farther, drench it, for six successive mornings, with three ounces of glanher salts dissolved in a pint or a pint am el a ialf of gruel. If the disuse he taken in time, this treatmnt will generally abate the inflammation of the blood, and raluec the swelling in the throat, but leave the animal in a very weak state, from which it will lie soon re covered, by being first fed with warm mashes and gruel without salt (a sufficient quantity of which, to support nature, must be forced upon it, a hile being purged) and then with ground oats, or good clover or meadow hay. Though this remedy has not been infallible, it has per. formed many extraordinary cures. MARKETS. CORN EXCH.% N 44 17 -.. Mryf:DaY, Mar . 24.
