SALES BY AUCTION. THE RE-SALE OF THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, IN COVSEQUENCE VIE PURCHASER, THE REV. LAW RENCE (IWYNNE, OF TEIGNMOUTH, HAVING FAILED TO PAY THE REQUIRED DEPOSIT. THE SALE WILL BE PEREMPTORY. THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY IS THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ICS NEVER-ENDING • DELIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF GAME, AND SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND "THOUGH LAST, NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONAS• TERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL• A ASING FROM • THIS FINE PROPERTY, IN CLUDING THE VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL' TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT, September 3, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trustees for absolute sale, and in consequence of the Rev. Lawrence Gwynn having failed to pay the deposit, THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENT TIIROUGIIOUT ENGLAND. And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he approaches the tAik with fear and trembling. The herculean task, however, must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and they have ever since maintained their proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND, It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey— An old, old monastry once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and rare • Mix'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its elasAc front THREE HUNDRED FEET. the Tudor styre;'find may 'be &Tr about the How of Henry Flit. ; but to describe it as It deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach o the limited capacity of the com poser, and even much wiser heads would b 3 puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it Is Indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Tts fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and It is now avowed to have no successful rival amid. the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and religious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration; it WAS a joyous spectacle,, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, .and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the ass'stance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. It is on the borders of the three line counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, ,3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London,, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rii eof Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not THE GREAT AND VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE OF WHITTLESEA, EXTENDING TO WITHIN TWO MILES .OF THE CITY OF PETERBOROUGH. • JAI -ESSRS.

Very IMPORTANT and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, embracing the enUre PARISH of ADDINGTON, free of Tithes and Land-tax, and almost of Poor-rates, with its spacious Mauston, excellent Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win slow, and only five miles from the county and borough town of Buckingham, dlstingu!slied as the family seat and domain of the late Hon. General Yore Poulett, forming a singularly eligible and solid investment for capital, in a proverbially rich and fine sporting country. MESSRS. DANIEL.

The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and the Manor,. which 181%TH-stocked with game, appertain to the es tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham passes through the pronerty, close to the town of Winslow, and it is within a very easy distance. of the several markets of Buckingham, Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is unlikely to be affected by any thane as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the invest ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being in a perfectly rural distrkzt, and in the centre of several packs of hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will he very near. The property may be viewed by application to Mr. King, surveyor, Winslow, orwhom particulars may be had ; also of Messrs.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andt en."

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation )f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

EXTENSION OF THE POTATO DISEASE 10 TURNIPS. We beg to call the particular attention of our readers to the following letter, and also to the statement made in a letter froni Birmingham, under the head " Potato Crpl," that an immediate inquiry may be made by them into the oondition of their turnip crops. We join with our correspondent in expressing a hope that our readers will communicate to us the result of their inquiries, as the subject is one of immense importance. ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with ornamental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with feam,"iind here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison hits ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and floe flavour, while the soft undulating foliage of its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetually deluding - the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent. and imparting just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery. without offence to those who are inclined to lock rather fo: the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties, Of the ornamental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded— _ _ Before the mansion lay a lucidlake, Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the calmer waters spread. TIIE RIVER AXE, so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its piscatory plea sures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. _ . _ Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may be asked, " WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS DESIRE?' The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way, THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK .••• sh h TireSer_valin And to omits pang,yrlC upon THAT ADORNS THESFARVOusaa - • - would approabh sacrilege. It really snd truly may be accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRJO'ION OF THE WORLD.. It fearlessly challenges a rival ; and the writer is exceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being too vivid. Ile may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veritable and unassuming report, This descrip tion, it is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits pre- scribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very im perfect recital, merely observing that the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorncombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," arc trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Grainge Farm (the principal estate), bred a horn ewe in 1833, which weighed 18st. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of arrear ; indeed the latter word could not find a place in their vocabulary. The rent is exceedingly low. The demesne ex tends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE. Seeing the abundance of unemployed capital (In spite of the railway mania), and the little value of money, the pre sent is a most influential opportunity of possessing an invest ment in land which is preferable to all others— for, as it regards the alteration in the corn-laws, it has been observed by Mr. Robins, in another notice of sale, a fact which every day renders more and more certain, that " WE IIAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." And this fact has been demonstrated in a manner not to be misunder stood, for slice this assertion was in type, Mr. Robins has verified it by the sale of two properties exceeding 150,0001., at 30 and 3334 years' purchase, on rack rentals. There are MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of conederable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this ad mired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the adjoining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and Lord Brklport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault. The full descripttsn, with plans and a drawing of the famed Abbey, are ready, and may be had at the White Lion Inn, Bristol ; White Hart, Bath; Castle, Taunton; Chard Arms Hotel, Chard ; Mr. Whitaker, solicitor, 12, Lincoln's Inn-fields, London ; Mr. Paul, solicitor, The Close, Exeter ; Mr. Salter, solicitor, Chard ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Itobins's offices, London, at One Shilling each, (this being with the sole view to prevent a useless and unpro fitable distribution of the full particulars.)

HE CHAMPIONSHIP of the THAMES. The triumph of Coombes at the late Thames regatta Is certainly not a contemptible matter ; On the day of the contest, vast crowds took a ramble, To witness the struggle of Coombes and of Campbell ; And the boats and the steamers were throng'd to excess To see how the long-look'd-for match would progress. And who was the winner ? why Coombes to be sure, From the first of the struggle his fame was secure; lUs success is applauded, and no one contemns The glorious champion of old Father Thames. And now having told how the race has been won, Let us draw a reflection for MOSES and SON, Who long on account of the efforts they've made, Have been crown'd with the championship of the trade. The trade may be view'd as a river, and here It depends how you " pull," it depends how you " steer." Here MOSES and SON have been champions at will, Having " feather'd" their oars with remarkable skill, And none on the river of trade can you catch With courage sufficient to venture a match, While MOSES and SON, through the efforts they've made, Are proclaim'd by the public the " Champions of Trade !"

No bui'ness transacted at this Establishment from sunset on Friday evening till sunset on Saturday evening, when it is resumed twelve o'clock THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER 30 to 50 per Ccnt. Saved! The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sec. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS IhURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jourr RXNNIE, President, in the. Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream • of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was hewed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and i:npinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very p.!rf..ct combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. • rOLTTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCUOOL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Niel anlCo,'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the' best st;awdo - Wle;s turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 23 per cont. GEORGE an CRISP, Engineer, ROBT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE, " Ina series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 boles), and 6 (15 boles), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent.', and against three fish-tall burners, 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector. The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly.at the Poly technic Institution, and may be bad and seen from 11 till 4, at the Pateiltees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-ace ; and of all Gas Fitters In London.

NOTICES or THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance. of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for 117gument and demonstration, which appears to us the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. fir. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro osition he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices c co ee n d c s lu t s o h s, e h , o ti v ilt b t . ile P of the unskilful and the empiric."

LONDON, MISERABLE LODGINGS OF THE POOR.--lii conse quence of the demolition of the " Rookery" in St. Giles's, the close back avenues in Drury-lane, Saffron-hill, old Westminster and Whitechapel, are crowded to repletion by emigrants from the fallen fastness of Bloomsbury. It is stated by a clergyman, who is constantly amongst the poor, that, on entering houses in those neighbourhoods in the course of his sick calls, he has found a number amounting to seventy human beings, crammed together in a narrow and dilapidated tenement. The arrangements by which the miserable crea tures are thus packed, are almost revolting, for lodgings have become so valuable in these dens, that the poorer inmates pay for permission to sleep on the landing-E:laces ea gain: TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—As the potato disease is occupying the atten tion of the great bulk of the community, and its se rious results upori the poorer class, allow me to men tion that the same disease is now showing itself in the turnip in this neighbourhood. I have a c.aop of swede turnips, which has excited great notice from its luxuriant and forward appearance, being drilled on the 22d July, upon ridges, with a composition of sul phuric acid and bones, nightsoil, ashes, and gypsum mixed up together. From their first appearance the plants looked healthy ; they grew very strong and rapid, escaping that general scourge, the turnip fly. I had them regularly horse-hood between the drills, and struck out by hand to about twelve inches apart in the drills. Although no rain fell for lit least five weeks, they never once flagged in their growth. As the rains came on, the impulse given to the turnips was very perceptible ; the land soon became covered with the plant, and bulb ing began, which has now attained a very large size, many of the bulbs weighing upwards of 101 b. It always gave me great pleasure when I visited them, par ticularly when the accounts of others ,were so dis couraging. On Saturday week I was induced to go amongst the Swedes, from what I observed in some white stone top turnips (about half an acre), which I had had drilled in the same piece, but which I now found to be all rotten, and emitting an effluvium of the most offen sive kind. I thought as the white turnips had attained a very large size, they might have overgrown them selves, and decayed prematurely; but upon examining the sound ones I found them perfectly sound, not hollow. Now the swedes are certainly affected as above stated, but not 80 extensively as the white turnips. I found many putting on this appearance--4he leaf a little mildewed, in the centre of the eye a dark appearance ; in a word, in every respect like the diseased potato. On putting the end of my stick down the eye, I could force _ . it intosoms of them as much as a couple of inches; the smell from them was most offensive, a kind of mattery appearance, the same as the potato had last winter. I visited the same field last Saturday, and am sorry to say nearly the whole of the white turnips are affected, and the swedes to a much greater extent. Not feeling satisfied, I have visited some of my neighbours' crops, and can easily see the same disease amongst them, in the inci pient state ; being lat , r in their growth, the disease has not yet developed itself so fully. One field I examined particularly, which bad been transplanted in June, but they were affected. Not wishing to become an alarmist, I merely write this in the spirit of inquiry. Having carefully perused the different agricultural reports from your numerous correspondents, I cannot see in them any allusion to the disease ; all concur that since the late rains, the turnips are looking much more promising. I wish when they write again they would pay especial at tention to the crops in their several localities, and report thereon ; for if the disease should prove to be an epide mic,-the consequence to the grazier the ensuing winter will be very serious. Its being detected early in the season may be the means of enabling us to provide a substitute before winter sets in.—l am, Mr. Editor, your obliged servant, IL MORRIS. Gasberton, near Spalding, Lincolnshire. THE POTATO DISEASE. TO TIIE EDITOR. Sir,—On the arrival of your paper nt my cottage, I was surprised to read, in Mr. Balkwill's communication to the Royal Agricultural Society, that the great de stroyer of the potato was an insect ; and that that insect was in such numbers in the neighbourhood of Kings bridge, Devon, as to destroy whole fields of the potato crop. The potato crop in the district of North Lincoln shire, with which I am acquainted, looked as well to all appearance as any crop of the kind could look a fort night ago. In a very short time many crops withered. A respectable carpenter of my acquaintance looked over his crop on Saturday evening, the Bth — they were well and thriving then ; on Sunday morning, the 9th, they were withered. Can this be the work of a tiny insect ? On Saturday last I saw two crops of potatoes divided only by a wooden fence—one, about half an acre, en tirely withered ; the other, belonging to myself, about one acre, freshly green and in full flower, no insect per ceptible to the eye on either of the crops. This year I have grown several kinds of the potato; they are all affected with the disease, some more so than others; the tops withered in a very short space of time. The potato which we commonly call the " toad back" —a goad sound potato for the spring of the year—is more affected than most others, and this potato has the seed apple upon it. I, for one, have not been able to solve this question, although I have paid a little attention to the subject, and most certainly have never discovered a bug, or any other insect, on mine or my neighbours' plants; and I am led to think it is not an insect (with us at least) from this circumstance.—l have dug up the Cambridge white kidneys this year, the foliage being T hire found in the tuber, although I was most particular as to seco, every 1 otato of the kind in the ground vbith my own hand.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Caistor, Aug. 20.

NTITULED AN ACT TO MAKE CREDITORS WHO HAVE PROVED UNDER PROCESS OF BANKRURPTCY OR INSOLVENCY JUDG MENT CREDITORS OF THE BANKRUPT OR INSOLVENT. Whereas it is expedient to give additional remedies to creditors against debtors who, having been declared bankrupt or insolvent, do not account in a satisfactory way for such property as has been traced into their possession, or who have not kept such books as they ought to have done, or who have not continued to make the usual entries in their books up to the time of their bankruptcy or insolvency, or who may appear to have been guilty of great extravagance in their expenditure, or who may have put their creditors to unnecessary ex ponse by vexatiously resisting proceedings taken against them in courts of justice for the recovery of debts, and who for these or for any other reasons shall, appear to the Commissioner to be undeserving of proarestion ; Be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the Commissioners of the Court of Bank• ruptcy acting in the matter of any bankruptcy or insol vency may at any time suspend or withdraw the protec tion granted to the bankrupt or insolvent as to his per m n and property, as to either of them, as to him may seem just and expedient, and may again renew and again suspend the same from time to time. And be it enacted, That the assignee or assignees of any bankrupt or insolvent shall from the time of the bankrupt's or insolvent's accounts becoming records of the Court be deemed judgment creditors of such bank rupt or insolvent for the total amount for which such bankrupt or insolvent shall thereby admit himself to be indebted to all his creditors; and that if the Commis sioner acting in the matter of such bankruptcy or insol vency shall think fit to withdraw or suspend the pro tection granted to the bankrupt or insolvent as to his person, he shall, on the application of such assignee or assignees, grant to him or them a certificate according to the form specified in the schedule to this Act annexed, marked (A), which shall have the same force and effect as a judgment of her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench for the sum therein specified. And be it enacted, that every creditor of a bankrupt or insolvent who shall have proved his debt, shall from the time of his proving such debt, and in the order in which the same shall be or have been proved, be deemed a judgment creditor of such bankrupt or insolvent for the sum so proved ; and that if the Commissioner acting in the matter of such bankruptcy or insolvency shall think fit to withdraw or suspend the protection granted to the bankrupt or insolvent, as to his person or property, or both, he shall, on the application of any creditor so ad mitted, grant to him a certificate thereof according to the form specified in the schedule to this Act annexed, marked (B), which shall have the same force and effect as a judgment of her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench fur the suns therein specified. And be it enacted, that the assignees or assignee or any creditor holding such certificate may procure the same to be sealed with the seal of the Court of Bank ruptcy, and upon producing such certificate so sealed to the proper officer of her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, may procure the proper writ of Capias ad satis faciendum or Fieri facias against such bankrupt or in solvent, or his property, as the case may be, to be sealed, in the same way in which be might have done if he had recovered a judgment against such bankrupt or insolvent in her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, and had pro duced to the proper officer the judgment paper. And be it enacted, that if any bankrupt or insolvent shall be in prison unc?er a caphs ad satisfaciendura so issued as aforesaid, the Court having jurisdiction in the matter of his bankruptcy and insolvency may order his release after he shall have undergone such imprisonment, not exceeding one year, as to such Court shall seem sufficient punishment for the offences of which he may have been guilty : Pr added always, that no bankrupt or insolvent against whom or by whom in respect of his bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings shall have been had shall be imprisoned fir any debts, proved by whatever creditors under such baekruptey or insolvency for a longer period than one year, taking into the ac• count all the imprisonments which lie shall suffer under such process. And be it enacted, That whenever a bankrupt whose certificate the Court shall have refused or suspended, or an insolvent to whom the Court shall have refused his final order, shall appear to any creditor who shall have proved his debt to be in possession of property which might have been seized for the benefit of the creditors, but which has not been so seized, he may apply to the Commissioner acting in the matter for an order upon the assignees to show cause why he should not be permitted -to seize the same at his own risk for his own benefit, upon which application the COMUliSkiQuer may order, unless came kfe shown to the PUBLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND). Report from the Select Committee arpointed to take into consideration the system of granting certificates for public houses in Scotland, laid upon the table of the House of Commons:- 1. That the number of houses in which spirits are sold for consumption on the premises is excessive, and ought to be restricted ; and in particular that the nu•nber of such houses of inferior class is excessive, and productive of evil, and that it would be expedient to repress the evil arising therefrom. 2. That the facility with which licenses for the sale of spirits is to be consumed on the premises are obtained, is one main cause of the excessive number of such houses, and of their indiscriminate character. 3. That the combination of the trade of grocers and venders of other commodities with the trade of vend Ts of spirits to lfe consumed on the premises, is, especially in towns, productive of evil consequences to the working classes. 4. That great inconvenience arises from the circum stance that the Excise licenses are in force from October to October annually, while the occupation of houses and shops in Scotland is almost universally from Whit Sun day to Whit Sunday, and certificates are commonly granted in May. 5. That with a view of diminishing the number and improving the character of houses for the sale of spirits to be consumed on the premises, and with the view of securing a better appointment of the number of such houses to the wants of each particular district, it is ex pedient that the system of granting certificates be altered and amended. 6. That at their meeting on the 30th of April, the justices of the peace of each county should appoint a committee of their own number for the purpose of as certaining and fixing the number of public houses ne cessary for the wants of each locality or district. That this committee, after full inquiry, should fix the number for each district for a certain number of years prospec tively, and that such decision of the committee should be final. 7. That at the same meeting the justices of the peace should appoint local committees to act in the several localities or districts, in granting or renewing certificates, and that the decision of every such local committee should be final. 8. That no certificate to any new party should be granted until the number of public-houses in the district or locality shall have been reduced to the number Exed by the general committee first mentioned, without a spe cial reference to and approval by the said committee, and in no case should more than one such new certificate I e granted in any cne district in any one year. 9. That each local committee should fix the minimum rent of houses to the occupants of which new licenses may be granted, and the minimum rent having been so fixed, the same should not be altered without the consent of the general committee. 10. That there should be one certificate for keeping a common inn, alehouse, or victualling house, in which beer, cider, or perry should be sold - to be drank or consumed on the premises, and a separate certificate for keeping a common inn, alehouse, or victualling house, in which spirits, &c. shall be sold tk) be drank or con sumed on the premises ; and that there should be se parate licenses to correspond with the separate certi ficates. 11. That no certificate for keeping a common inn, alehouse, or victualling house, where beer or spirits aro sold to be consumed on the premises, and no license for such sale of beer or spirits should be granted to any person who sells groceries or such lik commodities, unless special permission to that effect shall be annexed to the certificate, and subscribed in like manner as the certificate. 12. That in no case should a certificate for license be granted to any person whose character is not satisfac torily attested on the personal knowledge of the attesta tors, c ach of whom should add to his signature a state ment that the attestation is made on his personal know ledge. 13. That there should be a license for the sale of spirits to be consumed on the premises, distinct and separate from the retail license. 14. That no certificate should be necessary to entitle any person to a license to retail spirits not to be con sumed on the premises. 15. That it is very expedient that the period of tho currency of Excise licenses should be made to corre spond, as nearly as possible, with the period of the cc cupation of the premises, viz., Whitsunday to Whit sunday. 16. That no certificate should be granted for a license to the occupant of a toll-house in any case in which there is a licensed public-house within two or three miles of such toll-house on the same road ; nor unless the aforesaid general committee shall have resolved that a license for such toll-house is necessary for the con venience of the district in which it is situate. 17. That the remuneration to the clerks in respect of the matter of certificates shall be by a fixed annual sum, and not by fees on each certificate. 11 of such creditor may cause such property ed under the usual writ of fieri facies at - his and may apply the proceeds in discharge of ebt and costs, rendering the overplus (if any \ 3ial assignee entitled to receive the same. it enacted, that if any n , 1 '~' ARISTOCRACY OF THE SKIN. On Tuesday last two American sailors, named Alonto Lewis and George Brookes, were placed before Mr. nnder the followipg circumstances:— It appears that a poor Lundoo, who seas into the house where the sailors were for the purpOse of selling his books. He succeeded in selling one, for which he got paid. One of the accused seized the re mainder of his stock and destroyed them. On the llin doo remonstrating, he was immediately, with much abuse, ordered out, and, not instantly complying with the order, both the sailors assailed him. He was beaten aud kicked, and fled for safety into the street. The poor fellow was followed by his assailants, who, as Mr. Moss, one of the witnesses, stated, beat end kicked him about the head and breast in the most dastardly man ner. The seamen made no defence. As soon as this case had been heard, an elderly man, a negro, steppe(' forward to prefer another charge. The negro stated, that as he passed the same sailors, one of them squirted his spittle into complainant's face, and, on being remon strated with, the negro was immediately knocked down by one of the sailors, whilst the other threw at him a large stone. The negro had not given him the slightest provocation. Their cowardly conduct did not stop here; for a poor woman, an English woman, who was carrying a mulatto child in her arms, was strucked in the face, and the child knocked down. In both those cases no defence was made. These republican sailors were ex cited by the dark skin of their victims to abuse and in jure them. Mr. Rushton, on inquiry, found that the negro had shipped on a voyage to Calcutta, and that tci detain him till the sessions would inflict further injury; he, therefore, did not send them for trial. He, however, spoke with indignation of the brutal conduct of the pri soners, and told them that such conduct in England could not be endured ; that the laws admitted no dif ference between white and black ; and that the utmost punishment the justices could award for the offence was much too light. After consulting with Mr. Christopher Rawdon, who sat on the bench, Mr. Rushton ordered each of the sailors to pay the sum of 51. for each assault, and in default of payment t) be imprisoned two months; he also ordered them to find bail to keep the peace, or, in default, to be imprisoned four months. We trust this prompt and salutary punishment may serve to convince such of our American visitors as venture to beat and kick a man because he has a black skin, that the law is too strong for them. We are glad to say that in general the American sailors are as well-behaved and as respec table as our own Now and then, however, the curso which slavery brings appears, and we have the results in acts of this kind.—Liverpool Mercury. GROUSE SHOOTING IX " THE HOUSE."—In conse. quence of the extreme length of the Parliamentary session ' several Members of Parliament are detained from their favourite sport of grouse-shooting. As it is very hard upon theseindividuals, who are thus deprived of their recreation by the business of their country, it has been proposed to in troduce into each House a large cage of living grouse, at which Members may pop from their places, and thus combine the pursuit of pleasure with the performance of an impoetant duty. They may, by this arrangement, discharge the order of the day and their fowling-pieces at the same time, or bring up the report on a Bill simultaneously with the reports of a different character.—Punch. COPPER Roca.—The Detroit Advertiser contains, in a letter addressed to that journal, the following account of a most remarkable natural production :—You undoubtedly have heard of the enormous copper rock at Eagle harbour location, pronounced by Dr. Petit the great-grandfather of all the rocks of this kind—estimating its weight at fiom 75 to 100 tons. A brief description by an eye-witness may be interesting to your readers. At Eagle Harbour, commencing at the shore of the lake, is an open cut 12 feet wide, 86 fest long, 7 to 8 feet deep, in which is found this enormous mass of copper. The shoe, which is 90 per cent., pure copper, is in the centre, running the entire length of the cut, varying in thickness from 6 inches to 2 feet, having branches of from 1 to 2 inches in thickness shooting from it east and west, atilt varying in length from Ito 2 feet. The interstices are filled with sand and trap rock, charged with native copper—say 50 to 75 per cent.; also small masses of beautifully crys talised marcasite or spar, tilled with what has the appear ancei of copper filings—being quite rich.
