TO GETHER WITH THE ADVOWSON TO THE RECTORY OF DEBDEN, AND THE NEXT RIGHT OFPRESENTATION, WITH EIGHTEEN FARMS, LYING VERY COMPACT, AND CON TAINING ALTOGETHER 3,850 ACRES OF LAND. DESIRABLY SITUATE WITHIN FORTY MILES OF LONDON, IN THE PREFERABLE PART OF ESSEX, WITH IMMEDIATE POS SESSION ; THE LAND TAX IS REDEEMED. MR.. GEORGE ROBINS is grati6ed in being instructed to announce that he will SELL by AUCTION, at the Matt in London, on THURSDAY, the 11th of June, at Twelve o'clock, and in ONE LOT, A SINGULARLY FINE FREEHOLD INVEST MENT FOR CAPITAL, comb!nin3 such an Infinity of advantages as are rarely con gregated in one Property, and it therefore necessarily fol lows that the limit of an announcement must be confined to a brief summary of the leading features, which it is confi dently believed will be more than sufficient to awaken the early attention of large Capitalists to an Investment which, for- its importance atri local advantages, has seldom (if ever) been offered to public competition; it comprehends THE DEBDEN HALL ESTATE, WITH A PARK AND DOMAIN OF 3,850 i ACRES. The Residence puts forth very etrong claims to public attention, in as much as, without being of a very pretend ing character, it combines in its exterior a Chaste and elegant Design, while its interior accommodation pre tents a plentiful supply of every thing that is essential to the comfortable abode of a Family of high standing and respectability. The Grounds that environ this delightful retreat ate formed in accordance with the best taste. The Plantation-walks. and Shrubberies luxuriantly disposed, are adorned by an infinity of the most choice American Plants and Evergreen•, while the Flowering Shrubs are dispersing their sweet perfume in every direction. The Kitchen Gardens, encompassed by lofty walls, are clothed with the choicest Trees, in an highly luxuriant state. THE FINELY TIMBERED PARK '•4as drawn largely on the bounty of nature, in as much as the scene, however beautiful, must be somewhat imperfect without the ORNAMENTAL WATERS, which complete the coup d'ctil of this delectable retreat. Connected with it are THE MANORS, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES, extending over a large and fertile tract a highly cultivated Land. THE ESTATE INCLUDES EIGHTEEN MOST CAPITAL FARMS, The whole of which are Freehold (save only about 120 Acre) which are Copyhold, and in the occupation of a mot4t respectable Tenantry, at Reduced Rents, capable of much improvement. There is besides, THE ADVOWSON AND NEXT PRESENTATION TO THE RECTORY OF DEBDEN, • • a superior Residence and Glebe connected therewith. The property is situate within Four miles of Saffron Walden and Bishop's, Stortford, and certainly in the most esteemed part of the County ; LORD BRAYBROOKE'S ADMIRED MANSION AND ESTATE Almost approximates upon it, the neighbourhood is re markable for the superiority of its occupants, and to a sporting man it abounds with advantage that are rarely to be met with ; this is is a faint outline of an investment that possesses so many other advantages, and of a charac ter so unequivocal, that Mr. Robins feels great pleasure in recomtnendine, it in an especial manner to the attention of great CapitalistQ. The Mansion and Estate can be viewed only by cards, end particulars with Lithographic plans of the whole pro perty (shewing very conspicuously its corqactness) will be ready for distribution six weeks antecedent to the sale t the principal inns at Saffron Walden ; Bishop's Stort ford ; Dunmow ; Chelmsford ; Chesterford ; and New market ; of Mr. Jacob Nockolds, Audley End ; of Messrs. Capron, Rowley and Weld, solicitors, Saville-place, Bur lington-street; at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. TO CAPITALISTS. THE CROWLAND ESTATE, IN THE COUN OF LINCOLN, WITH MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES, RENTS, FINES ON COPYHOLDS, (THE TOWN OF CROWLAND TIEING SUBJECT TO THIS MANOR), THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND, AND FORTY-THREE FARMS IN A RING FENCE, CONTAINING SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF THE BEST LAND IN LINCOLNSHIRE, FREE FROM TITHES; THE PRESENT MODERATE RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEED TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS PER ANNUM, INDEPENDENTLY OF THE MANOR HOUSE. NEARLY TWO HUNDRED THOU. SAND POUNDS MAY, IF REQUIRED, REMAIN ON MORTGAGE. NIR. GEORGE ROBINS begs very re it spectrully to announce to the Public, but more epecially the great Capitalimq, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the - 11th of June, at Twelve o'clock, IN ONE LOT, a singularly Eligible and highly important FREEHOLD PROPERTY, THE CROWLAND ESTATE, very long distinguished for the superior character of the soil, and its extraordinary compactness. Lincolnshire has always been proverbial for the• rare quality of the Land ; and this Estate has, from time immemorial, been ranked as foremost in public favour. It will far exceed the limit of an Advertisement to give, in detail, the immense advan tages connected with this invaluable property, but it is apprehended a brief ontlin•: will be quite ample, with a view to enlist the prompt and serious attention of the Monied Interest to an investment which, unquestionably, floes not yield in its importance to any that has ever been submitted to public competition in England. The leading features may be summed up in the following concise com. men tary THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD, AND INCLUDES FORTY-THREE FARMS, CONTAINING SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICH LAND, FREE FROM TITHES, and it is probable that for compactness and the quality of the soil it stands proudly alone, without fear of competi tion. The Farm Houses are generally of the best de scription. THE PRESENT RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEEDS TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and it is known that, doting adverse times, when mode rate land was necessirily diminished in value, the supe riority of this soil was a sure guarantee of a comparatively *lnl diminution in the rent roil. CROWLAND • MANOR HOUSE is not of a pretending character, but may very easily he rendered the comfortable abode of a family. THE MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENSIVE. THE TOWN OF CROWLAND IS ALL TRIBUTARY TO THIS MANOR. The FINES and QUIT RENTS are CONSIDERABLE. There is also pertaining to this property THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND. A valuable right of Fishing, and an abundance of Came. The tenantry are highly respctable, and the con tiguity of the property to Peterborough, Stamford, Gran tham, Spalding, and other capital markets, afford at all times a secure and ready vent for the abundant produce of The distinguished Freehold Mansion and Estate, so long the admired Residence of Lord Northwiek, on Harrow Hill, environed by its finely-timbered Park and extended Pleasure Grounds, with ornamental. Water, and instant Possession, and Two modern Gothic Villas, and Grounds contiguous. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the 14th of May, at Twelve, in Three Lots, at the Auction Mart, opposite to the Bank of Ergland, this singularly BEAUTIFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which has long been the DISTINGUISHED FEATURE of this ADMIRED NEIGHBOURHOOD, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendatisn, that it would be superfluous, in the confined limits of an adver tisement, to attempt a panegyric. HARROW PARK was for many years the favoured Retreat of LORD NORTHWICK. The Islansion has been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary, beau tiful, and interesting views which the terrace walk com mand ; the panorama presented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will not yield to any in England. The Residence possesses, in an eminent degree, all the accom modation A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION CAN DESIRE, and the domestic arrangement and Out-offices of every de scription are so complete as to leave nothing to be desired. THE PARK OF SEVENTY ACRES, most luxuriantly timbered, has uniformly been the subject of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and beautiful inequality in the grounds that necessarily add to ' the impes:ng effect, whilst the majestic Timber, scattered about in pleasing negligence, and the extended ORNAMENTAL WATER, winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis posed grounds, contribute, in no small degree, to the coup treed. Of the latter it will probably be quite sufficient to add, that the genius of Ilepton presided over the disposi tion of the pleasure grounds. THE HERMITAGE, CONSERVATORY, AND ICE-HOUSE are all judiciously placed, and the hot and succession houses, with the pinery, are all AS RECHERCHE as the most fastidious can desire. In fact, it will be diffi cult to suggest a luxury or a comfort that is not conspi cuous here. There are two modern Gothic Villas, just completed by Mr. Decimus Burton, with gardens and grounds to each, very contiguous to Harrow Park, and to be soli on the same day, in separate Lots. Particulars may be had twenty-one days prior, at the Park Lodge, Harrow ; of Messrs. M'Dougall, Son, and Bainbrigge, Solicitors, Parliament-street; at the Mart; and cards to view may be bad at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. THIS HIGHLY FAVOURED ESTATE. It is, therefore, submitted by Mr. Robins with great confi dence to the attention of these who agree with him in be -1 eving that Land is the best and safest investment fur ca pital at all times, and now that the funded property af fords such a moderate return, with the probability of en unfavourable reaction, it is placed beyond doubt that the opportunity thus presented is by far the most en couraging that has ever been offered to public attention ; there is a regular Market at Crowland, and an Annual Fair, which contribute to increase the Rental. It will be almost superfluous to remark, that the possession of such an immense and. valuable territory must be very in fluential with a view to THE REPRESENTATION OF TETE COUNTY. Descriptive particulars are preparing, and will be ready for distribution six weeks antecedent to the Sale, with Lithographic Maps to each, at the principal Inns at Crowland, Peterborough, Stamford, Sp tiding, Grantham, and Wisbeach ; •also in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham; and may be had of Mr. Barwis, Soli citor, Crowland; Mr. Bonnar, Solicitor, Spalding ; Messrs. Bellamy, Girdlestone, Wing, and Jackson, Solicitors, Wis.- beach ; Messrs. Bignold, Pulley, and Mawe, Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; Mr. Peppercorn, Laud Surveyor, and Mr. Peppercorn, Solicitor, of St. Neot's ; Samuel Dinhatn, Esq. of Spalding ; Measrs. H►nrott and Metcalfe, Solicitors, Lincoln's Inn ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Rollins's Offices, Louden SALES BY AUCTION. TO PAVIORS, &c. A Patent Right for Paving Streets, on a principle of un equalled excellence; also, about 20S Tons of Stones, prepared for the purpose. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Mart, on TUURSDAT, the 30th of April, at Twelve, the whole of the parties having at length consented to Sell it without the least reserve, in Two Lots, APATENT -RIGHT FOR PAVING STREETS, &c. on a principle of excellence and durability hitherto unequalled, which will appear fully ob vious by an inspection of the mode!. The system to be pursued is unrivalled for simplicity, and the certainty, un der proper management, of its being generally adopted, is too evident to need further observation ; suffice it to say it must necessarily become a source of immense profit. Also, about 208 TONS of STONES, expressly pre pared upon the principle of the Patent, now lying at the Iron-g ite Wharf, Paddington ) where they may be in spected. Particulars may be had a Mr. Hayward, Solicitor, Inner Temple; of Mr. Whitelock, Solicitor, Cateaton street ; at the Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Office, Covent-garden, where the Model may be seen. AT RICHMOND. A dtl;ghtful Residence, under the Hill, the Pleasure Grounds and Terrace-walk approaching the River. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, May 14, at Twelve (by direction of the Rev. R. Gream, removing to a more capacious establishment), A Very delightful COUNTRY ABODE, .EIL planned for the accommodation of a respectable family, and most agreeably situated, UNDER THE HILL AT RICHMOND. The Residence posses,es very ample conveniences of every desciiption ; the site has been judiciously selected on a fine commanding spot, from which the grounds gradually decline to the RIVER MIMES, from a terrace walk, which comes in contact with the re freshing breeze from the water. The views are in accord ance with those who are familiar and delighted with the most beautiful scenery of this envied spot : in front is the ADMIRED PARK AND DOMAIN OF THE EARL OF MOUNT EDGECUMBE. The intermediate space is occupied by the winding of the River, which includes, to a great extent, the picturesque scenery for which this envied retreat has so long been re• markable, and the bridge in the opposite direction form ing a contrast, and giVing a variety which few can aspire to. Of the pretensions of the Residence, it will suffice to observe that it was for many years the favoured retreat of THE DUKE OF CLARENCE. The present term is only for six years, but a renewal, on equitable terms, will not be doubted, since it is the inva riable custom of the repectable freeholder, SIR JOHN SEBRIGHT, BART., to give the preference to the tenant in possession. The ground rent is only Si. a-year. Particulars may be had fourteen days prior to the Sale, when the Residence can be viewed (with cards Dnly) from one to three o'clock ; also at the Castle, and Star and Garter, Ilichmond ; the Auction Mart; and in CM,ent garden. LADY ROBERT MANNERS. Freehold Country Residence, at Sutton, in Surrey, a little removed from the high Brighton road ; a most com fortable abode, in the midst of its greatly admired and . _ extensive grounds and fire rich paddocks, and in the centre of field sports of every description. MR. GEORGE ROBINS h as th e satis -OA faction of announcing, that he will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, in the month of May, at Twelve o'clock, by direction of the Executers, and peremptorily, an excellent FAMILY RESIDENCE, Freehold of Inheritance, and for neatly 20 years the FAVOURED RETREAT OF LADY ROBERT MANNERS, deceased. It is desirably situate in the cheerful VILLAGE OF SUTTON, a little removed from the high road to Brighton. It has been long known and admired as the Manor House. Its external appearance is uniform, and the interior posseste% more of family comfort than any of the modern residences will pretend to. The bed rooms are numerous and very airy; the dressing rooms and dining parlours of excellent proportions, each possessing a separate and varied viesr of the grounds; and the secondary offices and domestic ar rangement include every thing the moat fastidious could suggest. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS, EXTENDED LAWNS, AND SHRUBBERY WALKS, have uniformly been the subject of the highest commen dation. They are clothed with an immense variety of American and other rare plants, including the evergreen oak, Portugal laurel, and cedar of Lebanon, feathering to the ground, and rendering it green and beautiful during the unpropitious months of winter, besides a fish pond and fountain in the centre. The disposition of these grounds is in accordance with the best taste, even Repton could not have surpassed them. The kitcherigardens are unusually extensive and productive, and there is a NOBLE RANGE OF CONSERVATORIES and hot houses, with a melon ground for 37 lights, forced by steam. There is a court yard, which incloses coach houses, stabling for six horses, laundry, brew-house, and indeed every office essential to family comfort, together with FIVE PADDOCKS OF CHOICE MEADOW LAND, forming altogether one of the most condonable retreats within the same distance of this great Metropolis. It can be viewed only with cards, and Particulars had 20 days prior to the Sale, at the Inns at Sutton, Croydon, and Epsom; of Messrs. Frere and Forsters, Solicitors, Lidcoln's Inn; the Auction Mart; and in Covent. , garden. _ GEORGn ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, Portable Cisterns and Portable Filters of all Dimensions. BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE prevailing opinion of the impurity of the Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous Testimonials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan Faculty, that any comment in this place would appear like questioning the national common sense. We trill therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by Dr. JAMES JOHNSON and Dr. KElnusoN, in their exa mination in the House of Commons. Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the "Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses. And he thus concludei--" We sneer," says the doctor, "at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank when his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Nirestmin ster, who fiil their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily di.gorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. Keitarson makes us acquainted with a Let, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in. specting the Thames near the landing. at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Hane l:oi sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UN DIVIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM ratvrzs;" from which he con cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposcd state, actually passes into our cisterns." This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the trouble of repeatedly charging it as • heretofore, and ensures an effectual preventive against the possibility of employing any other Water than that which has passed the Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra tion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro prietor does not state the precise number of Gallons capable being produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so fast as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified state.—lts moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards, but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions of Cisterns) by rendering it attainatile to all Housekeepers, confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water. To accommodate Private Families who desire to have Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are to be had of all dimensions at the Office io the Strand, and are forwarded to all parts of England. PORTABLE FILTERS IN EARTHENWARE. 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day .... : . ..255. 3 Ditto ditto lb Ditto . . 30s. 6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto. sss. 12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7ss. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and purify as much water in the course of the day as the largest consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 300 gallons, every 24 . hours. These can be sent to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera tion, may be inspected, •at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, N.. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Catherine Regan, the young woman who was given into custody by her husband, a watchman belonging to St. Clemnt's, for stealing a variety of articles from the shop of Mr. Newby, pawnbroker, was brought up for final examination. The husband, whether from a feeling of shame in having acted in so extraordinary a manner, or regret in being so premature, did not attend to give any further evidence. Mr. ROE—Certainly that is the strangest part of the transaction. But how he hit upon your shop is the most singular part. Mr. Wilcox deposed, that upon last Saturday night, ' between the hours of nine ant! eleven, the prisoner came into the shop to pledge sense article, when the four pair of trowsers and the twenty pair of shoes were safe. They were not missed until information was given to them. About three o'clock on the Sunday morning they were knocked up, and, on going to the door, the husband of the prisoner stated that he had given his wife into custody for robbing them, and that he had found the above articles, and two fine gold brooches, which had been taken in pledge in the course of Saturday. The prisoner was not present when the husband gave the information. The property stolen was worth five guineas. S. Priest, shopman to Mr. Bassett, of Great Queea street, deposed that upon last Saturday night the pi isoner came and pledged one pair of trowsers for eight shillings. She then gave the name of Ann Jones. Charles Mayhew, watchman, deposed, that the hus band of the prisoner came to him about three o'clock last Sunday morning, and said he wanted him to take his wife into custody for feh-ny ; and accordingly he went to his lodging in Wild-court, and took her into custody. J. Hone, constable, deposed, that the husband gave him two brooches, which he said lie had taken from the wife; when she was in the watch-house lie picked up a ticket fur a pair of trowsers, in the name of Ann Jones. Mr. Wilcox, shopman to Mr. Newby, informed the worthy Magistrate that they recollected the prisoner coming to the shop three times upon last Saturday night, when they were extremely busy ; but they certainly did not know what to mike of it by the husband bringing the charge forward. Mr. Roe—lt appears to me as a very awkward thing if the husband is not mentioned in the depositions as given in the information. Mr. Fitzpatrick—There is no need of doing that. Mr. Roe—The Court will wonder why the husband was not committed also. Mr. Fitzpatrick--The witnesses can explain the circumstances. Mr. Roe—You told me, on being first brought here, that a young man gave you the articles. Have you him here? Prisoner—l do not know, for I have not seen any person belonging to ate since I have been in prison ; but I have plenty of proof that I never stole one of the articles,- neither was I in the shop of the prom;cutor until near twelve o'clock, as my husband did not come home until a quarter before twelve o'clock. Mr. Wilcox—The husband has sixty duplicates which he has found since. Prisoner—They are all belonging to me, and he was acquainted with the articles being pledged. Mr. Roe—You must be committed to Newgate for the offence. The prisoner, who has three young children, the youngest an infant at her breast, was fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. William Palliser was on Thursday night charged befor. J. HaanwacKE, Esq., with stealing, and receiving, know ing them to have been stolen, several ai ticks of property. She!swell, one of the officers, stated, that having re ceived information that the prisoner was in the habit of receiving stolen property from juvenile thieves, and particularly that on the previous night he Lad received a quantity of yellow soap, he on that d a y appre h en d e d him, and on searching his premises found a number of live ducks, a met d stove, and a quantity of housebreaking implements. .- Benjamin Williamot deposed , that the stove found in the prisoner's possession was th e p r operty of his mother, and had Another , wtn fr a r i c,• :i 1 her shop v bile expos e d f or sa l e . tanctly to the prisoner as being be e n stolents s‘so the person whom he bad seen sal two of th e ducks in the officer's possession, and which belonged t o hi m. is The prisoner offered nothing satisfactory in defence, and was committed for trial. MATRIMONIAL FELICITY.---01 1 Sunday last, Jolts YATES, who had been married 53 years, wore the same coat at the funeral of dis wife in which he was married, and although in his 78th year, he observed to the sexton of our parish church, after the funeral, in refe rence to the antiquity of his coat, " If I thought I could meet with another woman as I could like as well as the one I have just buried, I would have no objection to be married again in this old coat." The buttons on the back of the coat are 15 inches asunder. — . Blackburn 111 u 1. Greenwich fair, it is understood, will be more extensive and better attended than for many years past, as in addition to the Park and other attractions, two or three of the Royal Family are expected on Easter Tuesday, which will not fail to attract a numerous and fashionable attendance. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. The details of the silk question require to be well sifted, before it can be ascertained what degree of approbation is due to those of Mr. Vesey Fitzge rald's measure. There never was a more glaring absurdity than the calling either Mr. Huskisson's law, or this proposed one of Mr. Fitzgerald, a law for the promotion of "free trade" in silk. We shall come a little nearer to the truth, if we describe it as a scheme for enforcing, in spite both of the smuggler and of the consumer, a reluctant use of English silks, to which the former system of direct prohibition was found an ineffectual protection. If this were a bond fide system of "free" trade, the consumer would, ex vi termini, be permitted to wear with impunity what manufactured silks might best please his fancy. It would say to the public, " We don't meddle with you: buy your shawls and petticoats where you France, or England, or India." But this " free trade" law speaks quite another language: it tells us distinctly, that we shall give a preference to the English silk manufac ture, unless we are williag to pay 25 per cent., be sides the value of the foreign article, for permission to wear it. The tax has been professedly calcu lated on such a scale as may at once defeat the smuggler, and crush the rivalship of the French manu facturer, and may thus substitute a practical for a nominal prohibition. Yet this is sneered at as an attempt to introduce a "free trade" in silks. There exists in the new project this one advantage— and it is the only one—viz. that it compels the home silk-dealer to look about him a little, and so far im prove the rubbish which he used to pass off upon his easy-tempered countrymen for silk goods, that those which he henceforth brings to market must be only about 30 per cent. worse than French silks, or he may find it rather difficult to sell them. Our ob jection to the provisions of this new Bill is, that they do not accord with the principles assumed by Ministers. The ostensible object is one of liberality and competition : the real scheme is to give the home manufacture advantages which may set all foreign competition at defiance. As for the smug ' gler, the Bill is grossly inconsistent. We are told that the duty ought to be lowered, for the purpose of ruining the tirrtiggler ; the reduction, therefore, ought to be carried to the full extent by which such a benefit might be secured. But what is the me chanism of the Bill ? It lays on ditties of 30 per cent.; but we are assured, on respectable authority, that the contraband may be imported at an average cost, including insurance, of about 16 per cent.; so that the smuggler enjoys, by act of Parliament, a premium of l 4 per cent. on every violation of the law. We do not know how far the Pre sident of the the Board of Trade may be obstructed in the effort to exhibit throughout his Bill an illustration of the reasonings by which he recommends it; but to be consistent with those reasonings, he ought to reduce the protecting duty to half its meditated standard,—that is, to 15 per cent. Why, again, should the thrown silk of Italy be subjected by the new law to an impost so enor mous as 3s. 6d. per lb. on the first class of that which comes from Piedmont ? Thrown silk par takes more of the nature of a raw material than of a manufactured article ; that of Piedmont is indis pensable to the British loom, from which webs of any price are delivered. It has been proved that the English throwster gains, instead of losing, by the more extended import of the thrown silk of Italy, which is only another name for the extension of the British manufacture itself. On what ground, then, of common sense or policy, it is that the Pied montese organzine should be taxed 3s. 6d. per lb.; tram, 2s. ; and singles, Is.? It cannot be, if well con sidered, for protection, since, as was deMonstrated many days ago, the best protection to the thrown silk of this country is in large importations of the finer article from Piedmont. We do strenuously urge the real friends of free trade, therefore, in mid out of Parliament, to press upon the Minister the ma nifest expediency, of either abolishing altogether the tax on foreign thrown, or, if some duty be de sirable for revenue ptirposes, of reducing it to one third of the amount which appears to be intended. How . can the same Board of Trade, which professes a solicitude to'place the English manufacturer on a footing of fair rivalry with the French, justify the iMposition of this high duty on thrown silk from Italy, which is equally wanting on French goods and to English; but which, owing exclusively to the British tax, is obtained at Lyons on so much easier terms than here ? How it is that the silk of Italy becomes so indispensable to British manufacture, when the British Crown (under its lord and master of Leadenhall-street) holds possession of the whole peninsula of India, a country where the mulberry and the worm are indigenous, and where silk, even superior to that of Italy, might be raised, is a ques tion which must be reserved for a future, though not a distant, opportunity. In the mean time, we conjure the King's Minister to establish a far lower scale of silk duties than has been announced in the speech of Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald.—Times. Mr. Hume could not do a more acceptable ser vice to the .public than by procuring a Committee to be appointed to take into consideration the whole subject of imprisonment for debt. This, like many other important topics, is frittered away by being taken up hi detail, a fault which Mr. Hume himself appears. on this occasion to be falling" into. On one day, for instance, he moves for a return of the persons detained- in the debtor prisons of the me tropolis for non-payment of their fees; and on another he objects (as he may, indeed, well do) to the useless and enormous charge of the Insolvent Court. But, if instead of taking up these features of the system one by one, the whole were exposed to view at once, it would .present, tie will venture to say, such a mass of hideousness and deformity as would astonish and disgust every disinterested be holder. We should like, if it were possible, to see at one clear view— 1. The number of persons arrested and confined for debt fora given number of years. 2. The amount of dick debts. 3. The dividends they have paid to their creditors. 4. The law-costs attending their arrest incarceration, and release. 5. The actual charge which their detention in prison has been to themselvcq, their frienfh , , and the public. A table, exhibiting at one view some such infor mation as this would do inure to show the absurdity of the system than any one of its heads alone can effect. It is monstrous, to be sure, to learn that the Insolvent Court is a charge of 12,000/. a-year to the public, and this without its obtaining more than a farthing in the pound upon all the debts which have hitherto come under its cognisance; but when, in addition to this, we learn that it costs every insol vent, upon an average, 20/. to obtain his release, how much is the charge and the evil aggratated. Take, for instance, the annual number dischaitged at two thousand, which is, probably, much below the mark, and here is a sum of 40,0001. per annum not only wrung from the most necessitous of mankind, but the law actually getting five times more from these persons than their bona fide creditors ever receive. The Insolvent Court, we admit, is founded, in the abstract, upon a wise, a just, and a benevo lent principle—viz. that upon the delivery up of all his property to his creditors a debtor shall be set free. But then idl the wisdom and the justice of this principle is immediately frittered away in the mode of its execution ; which, with an injustice and absurdity precisely the reverse of the merit we give it credit for, says that, before a man may do even this, lie shall have spent a given time in prison—as if that would afford him more property to surrender, make him a better man, or less likely to fall into difficulties for the future. If there be any justice in this principle, as we admit there is, as long as arrest for debt exists at all, surely the obvious com mon-sense mode of its application should be instan taneous. 'We should say, that if wan is willing to give up all that he has to his creditors'', that alone should be an answer to the arrest, and pre vent such a man from ever being placed within the walls of a prison; whereas, by placing him there, in nine cases out of .ten, not only is his own ulti mate ruin sealed, but bath the ability and the die- position to . come to . any reasonable terms with his creditors have vanished. Viewed, therefore, either as a matter of policy or of justice, nothing can be more contrary to either, in its practice and. effects, than our present law of insolvency is; but if any thing be more mischievous and vicious still, it is:the system of indiscriminate credit to which it gives rise.—Morning Herald. It gives us much pleasure that Mr. Hume in tends, early after the recess, to move for an altera tion in the Corn Laws, to the effect that there shall be a fixed duty (tax) on Corn, in preference to the present variety of duties. We hope that Mr. Peel and the Ministilt will second Mr. Hume. In all le gislation there is nothing like simplicity. A fixed tax would do away with all the nonsense 'of ave rages; and the importers of corn would better know what they were about than they can at present. The manufacturers of silk, cotton, anti other goods, say that 30 per cent. is a sufficient "protection" for their goods ;—we would name the same per centum for wheat, which latter, we should, on the average, consider worth 555. the quarter. Th;rty per cent. on 555. would amount to about 10s. a quarter; but, as in all matters of figures, it is best to calculate at round numbers. We should say tax wheat 15s. the quarter, and other grain in propor tion, keeping, as it respected the latter, to round numbers as much as possible.—lbid. The subject of the Currency, and the distressed state of trade throughout the country, now occupy the attention of all reflecting minds; and it is be coming daily more evident that some measure must be adopted in order to ward off the consequences of the Small Note Bill coming into operation, and re-establish the trade of the country on its former footing. We have already expressed our own sentiments upon the subject, namely, that a return must be made to a paper currency until the, wealth of the country has so far advanced as to ren der payments in the sterling coin of the country easy; but we are not so bigotted in our own opinion as to consider that of others wholly unentitled - to consideration ; and next week we shall lay before our readers a series of letters on the Currency,. which, although they differ from us in some respects, contain many sound observations and able argu ments.—Horning Advertiser. LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER, APRIL 16. NEWSPAPER LIBEL-MAYNE V. PLETCHER. Mr. J..JERVIS opened the pleadings, and stated that the damages were laid at 10001. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. WILLIAMS stated the case. The plaintiff, Mr. Wm. Mayne, was a Lieutenant in the navy, and most respectably connected ; the defendant, Mr. John Fletcher, was the proprietor, printer, and pub lisher of the newspaper called the Chester Chronicle. After indulging in some remarks, the Learned Gen tleman proceeded to read the libel complained of. CAUTION.-(From a Correspondent.)—A tall thin fel low, out of health apparently, and calling himself Captain Mayne, dressed sometimes in an old drab great coat turned, at other times in either an old blue or black one turned also, and the latter dyed, accompanied by a short, squat, vulgar, and loquacious Irishwoman, with one eye, are travelling the country, imposing upon, and taking in the unsuspecting and unwary; they commence by stating that they are in expectation of a large sum of money from Ireland, that the gentleman is a cousin of Judge Maynes, and the lady a near relative of Lord Gort. By these.and similar representations they have imposed upon numbers of credulous shopkeepers, (the thing being quite novel in Wales.) Their route has hitherto been Wrexham, Ruthin, and Flint. nearly to Holywell ; in the former place the Captain, by some unlucky event, got into In idewell. Scarvely a person in Flint has escaped these notorious characters. • The plaintiff did not bring this action for the purpose of making a profit of his character : he sought only to have reparation made him in the face of the Court, and in order to evince the sin cerity of the plaintiff he would then propose that if the defendant would make a suitable apology, a verdict for nominal damages should be taken. Mr. Serjeant JONES.—My Lord, Mr. Fletcher, at the time that the paragraph complained of was inserted in the newspaper, was ill and confined to his bed, and knew nothing of the composing, print ing, or publishing, with which he is charged; and the next week he did that which every honourable minded man would have done—he inserted a para graph expressing his regret that any thing should have appeared in his paper that could give pain to any individual. The plaintiff was an entire stranger to him, and he had not even seen him ; and he would not now repeat the charges in the paragraph. Mr. WILLIAMS.—Ay ! Mr. Fletcher, it would appear, is always ill in bed on those occasions. I have a recollection be was so on a former occasion of this sort. The cause must go on. Proof was then given of the defendant being the printer and the publisher of the Chester Chronicle.' It was proposed to put in the newspaper from which the Learned Counsel had read the alleged libel. Mr. Serjeant JONES objected that the publication of that particular paper was not provel Mr. WILLIAMS contended, that the 11th sec. of the 38th of George 111. c. 78, did not render that necessary. Mr. Serjeant JONES—That section goes on to say, that it shall Rot be necessary to trace.the publi cation to the individual by the purchase of the par ticular paper containing the matter complained of at the usual place of business and publication of the defendant. Mr. Justice JERVlS—Certainly. After some further discussion, Mr. Huxley, from the Stamp-office, produced a copy of the paper of the 28th of March, 1828, which was read by Mr. Prothonotory Lloyd. On coming to the word captain," Mr. Serjeant JONES—What ! what ! what ! Captain what ? Mr. LLOYD—Captain Blank ! Mr. Sajeanl JONES— C aptain Blank ! why I have no stich name here on the record. It appeared that all the names in this copy of the paper were in blank. Mr. WILLIAMS then looked to the former paper: its admissibility was re-argued : after which, Mr. Justice JERVIS said, that as the Lord Chief Justice and himself differed as to the admissibility of the first paper, it would be admitted as evidence, giving the defendant leave to move, in case a ver dict passed against him, to enter a nonsuit. He would take care to put the case that there was no evidence of publication in Cheshire, except by the title. Mr. Thomas Jones, examined by Mr. Justice JERVIS.—I am a solicitor at Holywell. I know the plaintiff, Mr. (not Captain) Mayne. I read the paragraph now in my hand in the Chester Chronicle, at Holywell, on the day of publication. The de scription corresponds in every particular with his appearance. Mr. Justice JERVIS.—Did you, Sir, in conse quence of that paragraph, discontinue to associate with him ?—Witness: I never did associate with him. I had only a casual acquaintance with him. Cross-examined by Mr. sergeant JONES—I do not mean to say that I read the paragraph in this particular copy of the paper. I h; d only a slight knowledge of the plaintiff. I think I saw him first at the King's Arms, in Holywell. I cannot say whether the description of the lady is equally exact. The nature of my a cquaintance was a professional one. I was professionally concerned against him; it was to obtain payment of a surgeon's bill. I had some other e ngagements with him, which it would be a professional breach of faith to state. He might have been three weeks at Holywell. I have heard that he is now at Kirkdale, near Liverpool. I cannot say by what means he lived at Holywell. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed Hp (after Mr. Ser geant -• T.2n..s had addressed th e J ury f or t h e defend ant) rather in favour of the plaintiff. The Jury instanter found for the plaintiff—Da mages 51.
