REPEAL OF THE MALT TAX.—The Marquis of Chandos will bring forward his motion for the total repeal and immediate reduction of the duty on malt on the earliest con venient day after the opening of Parliament, and will be se conded by H. Handley, Esq., M. P. for the Kesteven and Holland parts of Lincolnshire.--Bucks Herald. We lament to announce the death of the Countess of Winehilsca, who expired early on Friday morning, the 13th of February, at Haverholm Priory, Lincolnshire, deeply re gretted by her family and friends.

It is affirmed that in the speech with which the British Parliament will be opened on the 19th of this month there will be a paragraph on the affairs of the Netherlands, in which the expectation will be expressed that they will be shortly arranged in a satisfactory manner.—Dutch Peper. The late Earl of Darnley was a nobleman of consi derable merit. He distinguished himself at Eton ; and whilst at Oxford he was chosen to recite some Greek verses which he - composed on the visit of the Allied Sovereigns to the Univer sity. He afterwards took a first class. The Noble Lord mar ried a daughter of Sir Henry Parnell, a lady of great beauty and personal accomplishments, by whom he has left several children. The Serjeant-at-Arms, IL Seymour, Esq., has summoned all the officers and messengers of the House of Com mons to assemble at half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements pre viously to the meeting of Parliament on Thursday. The meeting is to take place in the new House of Commons. 'We understand that a similar order has been issued to the mes sengers, &c., of the House of Lords. This proceeding is rendered necessary in consequence of the very great alteration in their respective duties, which must result from the vast changes made in the locality of their various offices. When the present Ministry first entered upon office, we cautioned the agriculturists against ant:cipating any very large immediate amount of relief. Happily the agriculturists felt with us, and contented themselves with an expression of confidence that Sir R. Peel and his colleagues would use their, utmost exertions in their behalf. We may now state, that there is very strong reason for believing that three : fourths of the Malt Tax will be taken of An able report from the Excise, containing a great variety of calculations, is now before the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and the subject has been so far discussed that the great point remaining for consideration is the choice of a substitute. It is thought, and in well-informed quarters, that a low duty will be im posed on beer. Upon this part of the subject, however, no decision has yet been come to, but our readers may rest assured that the greater part of the Malt Tax will speedily be repealed.— Old England.

Southey, the Poet Laureat, has, it is said, refused the Baronetage which the P ee l- W e lli ngton Ad m i n i strat i on offered him in his return for his good and faithful services to the Tories. The ex- Secretary to the Admiralty has the credit of recommending a similar honour to be conferred upon John Barrow, Esq., whose eldest son is married to Miss Croker, the adopted daughter of the ex-Secretary, and who is a fixture on the Pension List to the amount of 3001. per annum. —Morning Paper. • A correspondent wishes to be informed, if it should so happen that, in the event of an election for a Speaker of the House of Conimons, if there should be two Members no minated for the Speakership, and they had an equal number of suffrages, who would have the casting vote ? Mr. Ley, the First Clerk of the House, will be addressed on the nomina tion, but he cannot giv e th e cast i ng vote, not being a Member of the House. The Irish Anti-Tory Association on Saturday passed the following resolution :—" That if any Member re turned by a popular constituency will not be in London either upon the 17th or 18th, to vote for the election of a Speaker, he will be considered as having betrayed his duty." The Dublin Evening Post, in summoning the Reform ers t o t h e i r duty on the Speakership, says--" To your tents, 0 Israel I Ireland expects that every man that day will do his duty. Not a single Reformer must be absent. Sickness won't do, or mar-nage." The Gazette du Bas-Languedoc announces that at Aigucmortes there has lately been discovered, at seven feet under the ground, a galley seventy-two feet long and nine wide, having eighty-one thick planks on each side in a state of perfect preservation. Its construction leads to the supposition that it was abandoned at the time of St. Louis's last crusade. We understand that it is intended to light the mail coaches with portable . gas, the reservoirs for which will be placed under the body of the coaches. The Court of Cassation, at Brussels, has just de cided that homicide, or wounds resulting from duels, are pu hishable under the Penal Code of 1810. It appears now that the arrangements necessary for Holding the Assizes at Liverpool not having been yet com pleted, the Assizes will not be held there till next summer, when, we understand, it is proposed to hold Courts both at Lancaster and Liverpool. - • M. POL I GNAC AND HIS FELLOWS.--The Ga zette de France has the following :—A person just returning from Ham relates that he found the four prisoners there sus taining their confinement with .a dignity which ought to con ciliate all parties. They are constantly endeavouring to pre vent their friends from petitioning for their liberation. They are determined not to solicit any favour. They have not the most trifling indulgences granted even to the most ordinary prisoners. They are guarded by 600 men, and every night no fewer than 75 sentinels are posted round their chambers. As to the Prince de Polignac, though this is the 16th year of his, life that he has passed in durance, the noble resignation of the man must cause those who are the most prejudiced against the -Minister to become the friend of the prisoner. Z. de Pey ronnet has not quitted his chamber for two years; still his spi rit is not broken, nor is his mind idle, and he supports his cap tivity with the greatest firmness." LONGEVITY IN AUSTRIA.--I 0 the Austrian do minions last year there died 450 persons above 100 years of age. A small Roman coin of brass, in excellent preserva tion, was found a few days since in Fordington-field, bearing on the obverse the Emperor's head looking to the right, and wearing the radiated crown, legend " Imp. C. Val. Maxi mianus Aug. 1." and on the reverse a figure holding in his rig‘bt hand a thunderbolt, and the legend " Herculi Pacifero." The Emperor Diocletian associated Maximian with him in the empire, and when the former resigned the Purple, A.D. 304, he compelled Maximian to do the same. Maximian came into Britain to quell an insurrection, but was unsuccessful. This coin is not less than 1,500 years old.—Dorset chronicle. LATELY BEFORE THE VICE-CHANCELLOR. In a debate in the House of Lords, the 16th April last, on the subject of education, the late Lord Chancellor Brougham touched on a nice question, that of the extent to which effect ought to be given to the intentions of Founders. His Lord ship's observations had reference to the foundations of free grammar schools throughout the country, the very large in come belonging to which he thought might have been applied much more usefully than. it is ; and the drift of his a"gument was to induce the trustees of These numerous establishments not to adhere strictly to the regulations which the Founders had laid down for their government, but to adopt the course of instruction to the wants of the present generation, and to con sider, not so much what had been formerly prescribed ; under different circumstances, as what would be useful at present, and what the Founders themselves if now living might approve, and his Lordship proceeded to hint very intelligibly, that if the Trustees of these Institutions did not adopt such a course, the Legislature might interfere to compel them. How far Trustees, where a direct rule or limitation is laid down, can with propriety set it aside, and conduct a charitable establishment upon principles different from the express direc tions of the Founder, may however be doubted ; and it may be questioned whether a Court of Justice ought to permit such a departure from his intentions upon the plea of greater uti lity, or whether, upon complaint being made of misapplication of the funds, the Courts ought not to interfere, and to bring back the foundation to its original design. The Legislature may, indeed, interfere in a different way, and in cases of im portance, perhaps, ought to do so, in order to accommodate restitutions to the varying circumstances and Wants of man kind. But this is another question. What we treat cf at present concerns the duties of Trustees, and of the ordinary Courts of Justice. And here one thirg seems certain ; consi dering what a great innovator Time is, and how inapplicable provisions which might be proper 'enough in one age may be to the circumstances of another, it can neither be just nor poli tic to attempt to tie up foundations within stricter rules than the Founders themselves have prescribed, and to hunt about in the regions of conjecture to discover intentions which they have not expressed. Now, this is exactly what the Vice-Chancellor has done in the case of Lady Hewley's Trustees. A more inconsequent judgment was never, perhaps, delivered in a Court of Justice. After a great deal of talk about the demerits of the book called "An Improved Version of the New Testament," an unauthorized, and totally false, pretence that it was imposed as a creed on the Presbyterian Dissenters, and a trifling and a vain attempt to connect the Trustees with that publication, he abandons that ground altogether, probably feeling it to Le un tenable. And what ground, then, does his Honour take ? Why, he assumes two points of theological controversy as ne cessary to be believed by all persons who are to participate in Lady Hewley's charity, viz., the Divinity of our Saviour's per son, and the doctrine of Original Sin ; in s h or t, h e ma k es a creed for her, and li m it s h er bounty to such only as will sub scribe to it. Nay, further, he removes all the Trustees, both of the Fund and of her Hospital for poor old women, upon the same ground, one gentleman of the latter set excepted, who is removed, on the ground of his being a Churchman. Lady Hewley says nothing in her trust-deeds of the doc trines of the Divinity of our Saviour's; person, or of Original Sin. Had she limit e d h er c h ar i t i es to persons who would-sub scribe to these points of doctrine, or to any other formula, no doubt, the Trustees, as gentlemen of honour, would have ad hered to her instructions. But she left them a latitude. Her object was to benefit poor and Godly preachers of Christ's Gospel, their widows, and others included in her trust-deed, who would be supporters of the doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture. The Trustees acted up to these liberal intentions, not confining their distribution of her bounty to the Ministers who agree most nearly with their own religious views, but bestowing a large, in fact, the larger part on those from whom they probably differ very widely, but whom they considered, notwithstanding, as Godly Ministers of Christ's Gospel. Not so the Vice-Chancellor. He will have nobody connected with the Fund or the Hospital who will not comply with his own arbitrary mandate, and submit to his two points of belief. • Having thus briefly, but, as I hope, sufficiently, shown that the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering this judgment, tied up the Lady Hewley's foundation within stricter rules than she herself had prescribed, upon the arbitrary assumption that her inten tions must have been so and so, I proceed to point out another course which lay open to his Honour, and which, if he had taken his seat upon the Bench as an impartial Civil Judge, and not as a polemic anxious to promote his own peculiar religious views, he could hardly have failed to perceive. He would have been more in his proper character if, instead of giving a critique oa a translation of the first chapter of the Epistle to the He brews, and dwelling on the demerits of the book called an Improved Version of the New Testament, he had referred to certain Acts of Parliament which bear upon the question at issue, but of which he took no notice at all. The question which his Honour had to decide was—who are to be considered as " godly preachers of Christ's Holy Gospel ?" to whom Lady Hewley directed her bounty to be applied. She has not defined the meaning of these terms herself, so the Vice-Chancellor has given a definition agree able to his own fancy and religious predilections ; but he ought to have inquired whether the law had not defined them. I believe it has, as I shall now endeavour to prove. From the passing of the Act of Uniformity in the'reig.a. of King Charles 11. to that of the Act of Toleration (1 Will. and Mary,.e. 18), no person, I conceive, could be considered in law as a godly preacher of Christ's Gospel, unless lie were in strict communion with the Church of England ; and if Lady Hewley's Charity had existed in those timss, no Court of Law or of Equity, it is apprehended, would have sanc tioned the application of her bounty to any Nonconformist whatever. But this was not the case. When her trust was established, the English Dissenters enjoyed the protection of the Toleration Act, and their worship was authorized upon certain conditions ; the principal of which are, that their preachers or teachers shall take the, oaths of allegianc e and supremacy, and subscribe a declaration against certain Popish doctrines, and shall also declare their approbation of; and sub scribe, the Articles of Religion mentioned in the statute 13 Eliz. c. 12, (that is ; the Thirty-nine - Articles of the Church of England) except the 34th, 35th, and 36th, and these words of the 20th Article : " The Church bath power to decree rites and ceremonies, and authority in controversies of faith, and yet "—and further, that their places of worship are not to have the doors looked or barred ; and by another clause in the same Act, Dissenting teachers, qualified as aforesaid, were exempted from serving parish offices, &c. Such was the situation of the Dissenting Body at the time when Lady Hewley's trust com menced ; and Dissenting Ministers qualified as aforesaid were then, I apprehend, to be considered in law as godly preachers of Christ's Gospel, to whom, and to whom only—legally speaking, could her bounty, intended for poor Ministers, be applied. This was the state of things till the year 1779, when an im portant change was made by the Act 19 Geo. 111. c. 44. wherein it is stated, with reference to the Toleration Act (1 of William and Mary), that " Whereas many preachers or teachers of Dissenting Protestants scruple to declare th e i r aps probation o f an d to suscribe the said Articles not excepted as aforesaid, for the ease of such scrupulous persons it is enacted, that every person dissenting from the Church of England — being a preacher or teacher of any congregation of Dissenting Protestants, who, if he scruple to declare and subscribe as afore said, shall take the oaths and make and subscribe the declara tion against Popery required by the Act (1 William and Mary) to be taken, made, and subscribed by Protestant Dissenting Ministers, and shall also make and subscribe a declaration in the words following : " I, A. 8., do solemnly declare, in the presence of Almighty God, that I am a Christian and a Pro . - testant, and as such, that I believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, as commonly received amongst Pro testant Churches, do contain the revealed will of God, and that I do receive the same as my rule of doctrine and prac tice ;" such person shall be entitled to all the privileges granted ; by the said Toleration Act (1 William and Mary) to Protes tant Dissenting Ministers and shall be exempted from serving in the Militia." From the passing of this Act, therefore, a general declaration of belief in the divine authority of the Scriptures was to be taken in lieu of the subscription to the 35i Articles of the Church of England required by the Ist of William and Mary ; and Dissenting Ministers making such declaration, ' and complying with the other forms required by the last mentioned Act, were to be considered in law as godly preachers of Christ's Gospel, unless cause to the contrary could'„ be shown. But though Dissenting Ministers were thus relieved in the matter of subscription, they were not at liberty to interpret the Scriptures according to what might be their own views of re ligious truth. For in the Toleration Act itself there was an exception, by which it was declared that no ease, benefit, or advantage should be thereby given to persons denying the doc trine of the Trinity; and by an Act of the 9th and 10th King William HI., entitled an Act for the more effectual suppres sing of blasphemy and profaneness, it was enacted that " If any person or persons, having been educated in, or any time having made profession of, the Christian Religion, shall, by writing, printing, teaching, or advised speaking, deny any one of the persons in the Holy Trinity to be God, or shall assert or maintain that there are more Gods than one, or shall deny the Christian Religion to be true, or the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be of Divine authority, and sball; upon indictment or information in any of his Majesty's Courts at Westminster, be thereof lawfully convicted by the oath of two or more credible witnesses, such person or persons shall, for the first offence, be adjudged incapable and disabled in law, to all intents and purposes whatsoever, to have or enjoy any office or offices, employment or employments, ecclesias tical, civil, or military, or any part of them, or any profit or advantage appertaining to them, or any of them. And if any person or persons so convicted as aforesaid shall, at the time of his or their conviction, enjoy or possess any office, &c., s uch office, &c., shall be void, and is hereby declared void; and if such person or persons shall be a second time convicted as aforesaid, then he or they shall from thenceforth b e di sa bl e d to sue, prosecut e , plead, or use any action or information in any Court of Law or Equity, or to be guardian of any child, or executor, or administrator of any person, or capable of any legacy or deed of gift, or to bear any office civil or military, or benefice ecclesiastical, for ever within this realm, and shall also suffer imprisonmcni for the space of three years, without bait or mainprize, from the time of such conviction." The extreme severity of this penal statute was somewhat softened by the provisos, that for any words spoken the infor mation must be given on oath before a magistrate within four days, and the prosecution commenced within three months. Also, for the first offence, if the party make acknowledgment, and renunciation of the offence, within four months after con viction, that the penalties should not attach. But it was a very harsh and persecuting law, and though it fell into disuse —thanks to the increasing spirit of toleration which pervaded the public mind—it is certain that no Dissenting Minister who THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1835 LADY II EWLEY'S TRUSTEES. presumed to write or preach anything against the doctrine o' the Trinity could be legally considered as a godly preacher of Christ's Gospel, so long as that law, and the before-mentioned exception in the Toleration Act, remained on the Statute book unrepealed. We come now to the last Act relating to this subject, viz., the 53d Geo. 111. c. 160, which is as follows: ".Whereas' in the 19th year of his present Majesty an Act was passed, en titled An Act for the further relief of Protestant Dissenting Ministers and Schoolmasters ;' and it is expedient to enact as hereinafter provided :.Be it therefore enacted, &c., that so much of an Act passed in the first year of King William and Queen Mary, entitled An Act for exempting his Majesty's Protestant subjects dissenting. from the Church of England from the penalties of certain Laws,' as provides that that Act. or anything therein contained, should not extend, or he con strued to extend, to give any ease, benefit, or advantage to persons denying the Trinity as therein mentioned, be, and the same is hereby repealed. And be it further enacted, that the provisions of another Act, passed in the 9th and 10th years'of the reign of King William, entitled An Act for the more effectual suppressing of Blasphemy and Profaneness,' so far as the same relate to persons denying as therein mentioned re specting the Holy Trinity, be, and the same are hereby re pealed." It was the avowed intention of the framers of this Act, passed in the year 1813, to place Unitarian Dissenters on the same footing as other Dissenters, and such I conceive must, in reason and common sense, be its effect. Of course it follows, that professed Unitarian Ministers, taking the oaths, and making the declarations required 'from other Dissenting Mi nisters, must, from that time, be considered in law as godly preachers of Christ's Gospel, seeing that they stand, in the contemplation of the law, upon the same ground as their more orthodox brethren. SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE CASE OF LADY HEWLEY'S TRUSTEES, _ _ I know indeed that it has been laid down by grave authori ties, at the head of which is Lord Eldon, that to deny the doctrine of the Trinity is blasphemy, and that blasphemy is an offence at Common Law, independently of the statute. But, without being overawed by great names, let us examine a little how this matter stands. The Act of the 9th and 10th of King William 111. is entitled, as we have seen, an Act for the more effectual suppressing of Blasphemy and Profaneness ; then it goes on to state the particulars of such blasphemy and profane ness, viz., denying any one of the persons in the Holy Trinity to be God, or asserting that there are more Gods than one, or denying the Christian Religion to be true, or the Holy Scrip tures of the Old and New Testament to be of divine authority. B - ut by the 53d Geo. 111. c. 160, it is enacted, that the before mentioned Act of 9th and 10th William, for the more effectual suppressing of blasphemy and profaneness, so far as relates to persons denying as therein mentioned respecting the Holy Trinity, be, and is thereby repealed, leaving its provisions in other respects as they were ; the obvious and inevitab'e infer ence from which is, that the Legislature did not consiuer the denying of the doctrine of the Trinity to be blasphemy or pro faneness. It appears to me impossible to put any other con struction upon it. How, then, can that be blasphemy at Common Law, which .a late Act of Parliament has deter mined not to be blasphemy ? Ido think even Lord Eldon's ingenuity and legal subtlety would be somewhat puzzled to make this out. In fact, the case is strengthened by what the b3d Geo. 111. omits to do, as well as by what it does. If the Act of 9th and 10th William had been entirely repealed, it might have been said that the only effect of the new Act was to leave the offences of blasphemy and profaneness to the operation of the Common Law ; but here we have a distinc tion made, and an exception as to the doctrine of the Trinity, which plainly indicates that the denying of it is not to be put on a footing with denying the Christian Religion to be true, or the Holy Scriptures to be of divine authority. So that what was deemed by some persons an imperfection in the Act as a measure of Toleration, really makes it more effectual for the relief of those persons for whose benefit it was intended. And now, in conclusion, it may be material to observe, that the question is not what would have been the legal application of the Hewley Funds fifty or a hundred years ago, but what is so now, under the express provisions of the trust-deeds, and the actual state of the law. And I think, if we look at the intentions of the founder, the fair presumption is, that what she did not tie up, she meant to leave open. At any rate, to apply to this case a general sentiment already advanced, it can neither be just nor politic to confine her foundations within stricter limits than she herself prescribed, or to hunt about in the regions of conjecture to discover intentions which she has not expressed.

Died on Friday, at Alresford, aged 63, Henry Hunt, Esq., late M.P. for Preston. Mr. Hunt was seized, about three weeks ago, with a violent attack of paralysis, which deprived him of the power of speech, and threatened immediate disso lution ; but, by the prompt administration of active remedies, the immediately-alarming symptoms were subdued, and his friends, who were best acquainted with his vigorouconstitu tion and powerful frame, indulged hopes that years might be added to his life, although his medical attendants gave no ex pectations of his ever recovering the use of his left side. During the severe illness which followed the attack, Mr. Hunt enjoyed the perfect use of his faculties, and maintained a composed and even cheerful demeanour throughout. On Tuesday last a return of unfavourable symptoms rendered it necessary to call in the aid of Dr. Lightfoot, from Winches ter, who abandoned all hopes of his recovery, and since that day he gradually sunk till Friday, when upon his busy and active life the scene closed for ever. The public conduct of Mr. Hunt for twenty years placed him in situations which exposed his private character to the severest scrutiny. The prevalence of charity and candour in the world does not impose upon a Journalist the duty of dwell ing upon the moral errors of his early life, in taking a brief notice of his later days. The writer of these remarks was well acquainted with him for fifteen years. He knew him in pros perity and adversity—in the hour of triumph and the day of defeat —in the cells of the New Bailey at Manchester upon a charge of high treason, and in the House of Commons as Member for Preston. With Mr. Hunt he had had transac tions both pecuniary and otherwise, of great difficulty, delicacy, and importance to himself s and others, and upon every occa sion, and at all times, Mr. Hunt maintained the bearing of a gentleman, and the conduct of an honest and upright member of society. Mr. Hunt's imminent danger, and indeed his approaching dissolution, were never kept from his knowledge. If tranquil and placid conduct in the hour of affliction and pain —if at ' life's last ebb expressions of a kindly and peaceful feeling to wards all mankind—if an humble, but confident, reliance upon the goodness and mercy of his . MAKER—and if a readiness to quit the world without regret, afford any evidence of the ter mination of a Christian's life, he who penned these few remarks heard them from his own lips, and trusts that the spirit of the deceased has found favour where all may find mercy, and the best of men will need it.—Observer. THE ARMY. ("From the United Service Gazette.) Lord Arthur Hill, M. P., has arrived in Edinburgh from Hillsborough Castle, and resumed the command of the 2d Dragoons. Detachments of the Bth Foot have been sent to Carisbrook Pen, St. Elizabeth's ; Mullett Hall, St. George's ; and Moulsey Hall, St. Thomas's in the Vale, Jamaica; at which places are also stationed detachments from the 64th. The depot companies of the 9th have been landed at Ports mouth from the Jupiter troop-ship, whence they go to Chatham to embark for India. The reserve companies are daily ex pected at Chatham. The drum-major of the 12th Regiment having been recently reduced for misconduct it to be replaced by a very first-rate hand from the Guards, from which corps he brings the highest character. The head-quarters, with two companies, are sta tioned at Blackburn ; and the regiment furnishes the following detachments, namely. Bolton, three companies, under the command of Major 'Patton ; Rochdale, two companies, com manded by Major Jones; Burnley, two companies, under Captain French, where there are also two troops of the 17th Lancels;‘ Nottingham, one company, namely, Capt. Bayly's. The regiment complains much of the want of due accommoda tion, the barracks being all of a temporary nature, and chiefly composed of old iron-foundries and factories much out of re pair ; and the Officers' quarters being of the most miserable description, and extremely confined. Lieut. Bourchier has been appointed to the recruiting service at Liverpool, in the room of Captain Furlong, of the 30th Regiment. One Captain and fifty rank and file of the depot of the 16th are ordered to join the 'detachment at Tilbury Fort. The 33d, now at HaydockAodge, Chester, &c., expect im mediately to exchange quarters with the 80th, at Manchester. Lieutenant Freer, of the 43d, has been appointed to the re cruiting Bert ice at Leicester, in the room of Lieut. Bate, of the 37th Regiment. The report still is that the 61st will proceed from Ceylon to India. Two companies of The 64th marched from Stoney-hill, Jamaica, on the 23d of December, on detachment duty. The grand division of the 74th, under the . command of Lieut.-Colonel Mein, arrived at Barbadoes, from Dublin, in the Lord Wellingtozz transport, on the 29th of November. The 80th Regiment, now in Manchester, it is said will pro bably be added to the Irish establishment. The following Officers have retired from the army this week :—Capt. P e t re . l s t D ragoons ; C apta i n B all, Bth` Light Dragoons; Ensign Hales, 28th Foot; Captain Lindsay, 32d Foot ; Ensign Fisher, 54th Foot ; and Lieut., Finlay 61st Foot. _ NEW SOUTH WALES. MURDER OF DR. WARDELL. Hobart Town papers to the 29th of September have been received by the Cleopatra, arrived at Deal Wheat had risen in price at Hobart Town, and was sold at 17s, per bushel. At Sydney also this grain was on the advance —wheat was la.. Gd., and flour 40s. per cwt. ; wool was 151,d. per lb., for which contracts had been entered into at this rate. It is with extreme •regret we announce the melancholy death, by murder, Of Dr. Wardell, the eminent Barrister, of Sydney. The savage occurrence must have happened on Sunday, the 7th of September. He had invited a few friends to dinner on that day, at his villa of Petersham, about eight miles from Sydney, and had rode out before the dinner-hour, but not returning when expected, some uneasiness gradually sprung up, and a search was ulti mately instituted in all directions, the Mann being much increased by a threat having been industriously conveyed to the Doctor's ears some time ago, by some of his own servants, that his life would be sacrificed. His intimate friend, Mr. Wentworth, hearing the cir oninstance on the Monday morning, immediately joined in the pursuit, and the body was found in the forenoon of that day, in a secluded part of the bush, about three-quarters of a mile from the house, with two gun-shot wounds, either of which was apparently sufficient to extinguish life—the one, a quarter of a musket-ball, which had been cut with a knife, having entered the head directly below the ear, and another similar piece in the side. Tfie melancholy event, as might be expected, produced a lively sensation in Sydney, and, indeed, throughout the whole- of the colony. The talentS of Dr. Wardell, as a skilful lawyer and an able po litical writer, were of the very first order.—Hobart Town Courier, Sept. 26.—There are no further details, papers not having arrived from Sydney direct. The ship Edward Loathe, Captain Stroyan, which left Flobart, Town for Sydney, August. 17th, • was lost during a dreadful gale : twelve persons in all, out of twenty-nine on board, perhilied ; namely, Captain Stroyan, Mr. Norman, second mate ; Mr. Tibbett, third mate ; Mr. Gibbs, sur geon ; Mr. Jones, Mr. Kemp, Mr. Greenhill, Mr. Wil kinson, and Mr. Knight, passengers ; the steward, and two seamen. The influenza, or epideinic carrh, had made its appear ance, affecting both young and old : though severe, it was not of a serious character. MASSENA AND THE FEMALE DRAGOON. Next day a letter was received from Vittoria, an nounchig that the Prince of 0 Essling might be expected at the end of the week. Orders were given for :,pre paring for his reception one half of the palace in which we resided ; but we had then no idea that he was to be accompanied by a lady. The day of his expected arrival was exceedingly fine. Junot and General Kellerman, accompanied by their staffs and principal officers, went on horseback to meet him. The cortege amounted to at least two hun dred individuals. When they had advanced about a league from the town, they perceived the equipages of the Marshal and his suite. Massena rode first, in a small uncovered calechc ; and at his side was seated a very boyish offi cer of dragoons, decorated with the cross of the legion of honour. As this badge of distinction was then very sparingly distributed, its appearance on the breast of so very young an officer attracted general remark. Massena's companion seemed anxious to evade notice, and when the Marshal perceived the numerous retinue that was advancing to meet him, he wished to draw up the hood of the caleche ; but he had not time, for the three generals-in-chief set off at full gallop, and calm up with him in two or three minutes. • They gave him a most cordial reception. Junot was too generous not to relinquish all pretension, in spite of his feelings. Ney was sometimes actuated by amiable impulses; and Iteginer was too prudent to manifest the least mortification. 'owever, Massena appeared ill at ease. From time he was observed to cast on his young compa glance of distress, which was very amusing to nd was not at all understood by others. As to .e young officer of dragoons, he sat with his eyes cast down and rivetted on the points of his boots. " Monsieur le Mareehal," said Junot, " my wife will be delighted to have the honour of receiving you in the, palace of Charles V. We hope you will be accommodated to your satisfaction." ;0 time nion a some, al " How," exclaimed Massena, with evident confu sion, " is Madame Junot at Valladolid ?" " Certainly," replied Junot, not a little surprised at the astonishment expressed by the Marshal. " Then," said Massena, after a little hesitation, " cannot think of going to reside in the palace—that cannot be." "If you are afraid of not having sufficient room,' observed Junot, somewhat piqued, "my wife and I must remove —you are my superior in command." " Mon Dieu Ido not mean that—l do not not mean that," exclaimed Massena, " but—", He did not finish this sentence, and Junot could scarcely refrain from laughing outright in his face, for at that moment some one whispered in his ear that the Marshal's military companion was no other than a young female. • The confiision of the veteran Marshal, as he drove on to Valladolid, may be easily conceived. As soon as he reached the foot of the grand staircase, he re quested Junot to conduct him to my apartments. He advanced to me with his usual frankness of manner; pressed my hand, and expressed himself overjoyed to see Me. I was informed that he was very glad Ju not's heart was i n sa f e k eep i ng , f or . t h at he was very jealous of Clause' and Kellerman. As to the lady, she immediately retired to her 'own apartment, and, during the three months which the Prince of Essling passed at Valladolid, I never caught a glime of her but once. She had strict orders to keep herself con cealed. It is rumoured that a steeple chase, which is likely to excite great interest, will take place in the neighbourhood of Wilcot, near Pewley, within a fortnight.--Salisbury Herald.

In the evening the town of Kirkwall, and the sur rounding farm-houses, were illuminated. Mr. Traill bad left Orkney previous to the declaration. Mr. Balfour took his leave shortly afterwards, and was in Inverness on Wednesday on his way south. ST. PANCRAS PAROCHIAL COM- MITTEE, Sir Samuel Whalley's answer to his constituents, as tog. the Speakership, has been handed to us. Whore members ire returned free of expense, as in Marylebone, the elec tors have a right to expect such a pledge as contained in Sir Samuel Whalley's letter : GENTLEMEN,—Though your vigilance is very mamendable, and if generally felt by all the constituencies, would have the happiest effect, yet, lam the last man in the empire of whom any distrust can be entertained, fur I was the first man pub licly to denounce Sir Charles Sutton, which I did from the hustings. If the Ilcuse of Commons is so lost to all sense of decency and self-respect, as to place in the chair the tool of a party—the enemies of the people—the aspirant to a seat in thal.. House which is now struggling for an ascendancy over the people's House—the successful intriguer against the political existence of the very body of own who gave him the station and influence he used against them—then I shall despair of any good that can come front men infatuated and self-degraded. - Every influence will be used—the national purse will be thi•own into the scale. But I have little fears for a happy re alt, to which most assuredly, my efforts shall be directed. Believe me, Gentlemen, your faithful servant, SAMUEL B. WHALLEY.

It appears that a neighbour who suddenly entered the shop found the young woman in the act of sawing at her throat, from which the blood was profusely flowing. He immediately wren c h e d th e weapon f rom h er, an d proceeed to call for assistance ; but so determined was the infatuated woman to end her life, that she inserted her finger in the gash she had made, and by dint of strength conside rably enlarged the aperture. She is now in Bartholomew's Hospital, where her life is despaired of. Her Mother com mitted suicide about four months ago, by hanging herself; and the daughter was heard to remark a few days ago, that the neighbours were continually casting her parent's untimely death in her teeth, and that it would sooner or later drive her mad. Portions of the flesh of the young woman's throat were found actually sticking to her fingers. l 40_ -~,'
