When the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a short time ego that, by nuking some unimportant de ductions in the national exmnditure, he had no doubt that he would contrive to menage without the threatened • increase of the income-tax, we felt, in common, with many others, some curiosity to learn in what depart . ment of the public service the reductions were to be made. Our readers may probably remember that we L took occasion to refer to e.ertain hereditary pensions granted by Charles the S ;con d to hi s ill eg itimate pro geny ; and to other p ens i oes granted by Queen Anne and William the Third t o th e i r we ll- pa id gener als, which we considered might be cunpoun d e d f or w ith great ad antage to us taxpayer s , en d w i thout i n j ur y t o the na tional credit. The p ens i ons o f the D u k e o f Rich mond. the Duke of Marlborough, the heirs of the Duke of Schomberg, with the salaries attached to hereditary offices—the very existence of which is bringing royalty into cmtempt—appeared to us to supply a ready fund for the making' up of any deficiency in the Exchequer. With Tarones tumbling around her, we, expected that our Gracious Queen would have been advised, by a professedly Liberal Ministry, to abolish sinecure offices about her Court, the very names of which could only recal to the minds of her loyal subjects the tyranny and slavery of the middle ager. We expected to find in the London gazette the announcement of the extinction of such tax-eaters as Grand Falconers, Masters of the Buckhouuds, Gold Stick s , Sil ver S t i c k s , an d va rious other remnants of f e ud a l sovereignty. We ant i c i pate d, also, a reduction in the num b er of Field-Mars h als , o f Generals, and, above a ll, of Colonels who never see their regiments. Th ere was, in truth, no lack of useless offices out of whi c h t h e Chancellor o f t h e Ex chequer might make up any deficiency in t h e T axes . w But it appears that Mi n i sters deemed i t not un orthy at their position to spite the people for resisting the increase of the income-tax, by making reductions in the trifling sums set apart for their improvement. The hereditary pensions were respected—but not so the grants to popular institutions. An instance of this, incredible for its mean paltriness, is announced in the last number of the Gateshead Observer. In 843, M r . H u t t , M.P. f or atvehead, se succeesfully sueportad a memorial to the Treasury, that he suceeed e d i t e o b taining from the Boar d of Trade 1501, a year for the .establiehrnent of a School of Design at Newcastle, which school was opened in January, 1844. Hitherto this school has been eminently successful. The average number of students for the first year exceeded seventy-seven, eines which they have considerably increased. As this school was established for the benefit of the industrious classes in works of design, nearly all the higher trades availed themselves of it; and this year the result has been shown in the opening of such a Polytechnic Exhi bition in Newcastle as has rarely been seen out of Lan don or Edinburgh. The students at present number one hundred and four, including among them glass painters, house painters, coach painters, copperplate and wood engravers, pattern makers, earthenware manufacturers, engineers, architects, cabinet-makers, and almost every trade to the perfection of which beauty of design can be made subservient. The `master of this reboot, Mr. W. B. Scott, brother of Mrs David Scott, Edinburgh, is himself a painter and a poet, as well as a good draughts man, and passionately devoted to the advancement of art. Now, with these facts before them, -what will our readers say when we inform them 'that the first step in economy taken by the Government has been manifested in the withholding of this paltry grant of 150!. a year from the Newcastle School of, Design? Of course, it is well known to the Govern-e meat that such a saving, d e persevered ip, must, close the school altogether. It is 'only among a: people pas sionately devoted to art that a School ot Peng!' can be maintained without support from some tfund, 'set apart for the purpose. "Pampered' indole&e," says the Gateshead Observer, "retains its hold' of-the public purse—the modest pittance of a laborious Joliet who devotes his days and nights to the refinement and eleva tion of individuals and of society is xueleleOvithheld. The residence in a. commercial commanitY tif` !: . gentle man like Mr. W. B. Scott, in the character 'of a Go vernment teacher of art, and connected with, : the' Central School of Design, is an adiantage to a populous district not to be over-rated.", We are glad to find this opinion not confined to the editor of a local paper. The mayor, the sheriff, the magistracy, and the leading inhabitants of New castle have memorialised the President of the ,Board of Trade to continue the grant to this school; and Mr. Hutt, with his accustomed zeal in every good cease, is praiseworthily exerting himself to save this popular in stitution from destruction. The memorialists, .140 in number, including the principal inhabitants of Newcas tle, state it as their " firm belief" that the abandon ment of the School of Design by the Government will materially injure the prosperity of the place', " by de stroying an institution which is most active is improving the industrial capabilities of the operativeaclasses, and also by witherawing from manufactures and master tradesmen the opportunity and means of enhancing the Character of their productions." We cannot believe that such a representation, coming from such a quarter, and supported by Mr. Hutt, will prove unavailing. We should be glad to know that, in making any representa tion against the proposed conduct of the Government, Mr. Hutt was supported by the influence of the Members for this borough. But it is less the individual case than the principle here proposed to be acted upon that fills us with indig nation economy. Why should the pruning knife be first ap- The hypocrisy of a saving which looks only to the per plied to schools? Why is the pension list spared? petuation of national ignorance, while it overlooks the enormity of a hereditary pension list, is disgraceful to any Ministry. Nor are the people such dolts as not to perceive this; nor so indifferent to the insult offered to their understanding as not to rseent it, and very deeply toe. They see that they aro mocked instead of being relieved; and the wrqng rankles the deeper because they Lave no means of resenting it. We have not too many schoolmasters; but we would not suffer in the least by the extinction of a score of Admirals, twice as many Generals, thrice as many Colonels, six out of eleven of our Field-Marshals, and the whole 61 our hereditary Grand Falconers, Forest-Rangers, Park keepers, Kennel-governors, and Royal Wardrobe, Kit chen, Pantry, Cellar, and Stable dignitaries.. .But, should the Government persist in making the . reductions in such establishments as the School of Design at .New castle, we know very well what the result will be. The least reflecting will soon arrive at the conclusion, that in the eyes of Ministers of State the cultivation of tho minds of their children is of less importance than the maintenance of such a relic of feudal barbarism as the sinecure office of Grand Falconer. What will be the gain to royalty of such a reflection? Will the senti ment of loyalty be thereby more deeply ongraven on the national heart? Will the sound of the National An them be heard more frequently in the villages at sunset? Far otherwise. Such mock pretences to national economy as the above will fill the public mind with indignation, and prepare it for the reception of the doctrines of a class of teachers very different from such gentle, and such soul-inspiring enthusiasts as Ale. W. B. Scott. The fierce advocates of revolutionary principles will find in such an exhibition of Ministerial economy the most conclusive demonstration of the seeming truthfulness of their evil teaching. They can point to the estimates as showing more money spent annually in repairing royal palaces, , in ranging over royal parks, and keeping up sinecure offices, than in educating thirty millions of people. We demand economy, and are answered by the exhibition of a saving which savours more of shrewish trickery than of enlightened statesmanship. The people refuse to in dulge the Government in a course of ruinous extrava gance, and Ministers condescend to the littleness of reta liating by a pitiful local annoyance! This is not the Way to govern England in the nineteenth century. THE JOB AND POST-MASTERS, COACH PROPRIETORS, HORSE DEALERS, AND LIVERY-STABLE KEEPERS' (OF ENG• LAND) PROVIDENT FUND.

This land is capable of great improvement, and each lot will abut upon good hard roads. The CHAIRMAN having asked if any gentleman pre sent had any questions to put, and none being asked, Mr. MALLALUE moved the adoption of the report, and expressed his great satisfaction at the success of the society. Mr. TATTERSALL seconded the resolution, and took that opportunity of stating how much the society was indebted to the secretary for his cxerions in its behalf. The report was then received and adopted, and ordered to be printed. Three of the retiring directors were then re-elected, and Mr. Dickinson elected a director in the room of Mr. Dyson. Mr. MALLALUE then rose, and said he was pleased to find Mr. Dickinson had assented to return to the ma nagement, for he had been its monthly and general nurse, and under whose good treatment and careful dis cretion it bad surprised every one.

Mr. DICKINSON said be did not think he deserved so much as had been said of him; but as he had been asked to give his services again, he readily assented. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to Mr. Tattersall, as treasurer. and to the directors, and a suit able eulogy was passed on Mr. Tattersall for the great benefits which he had conferred upon the society , and his evinced anxiety to promote its prosperity.

GLASGOW COTTON MARKET, JULY 29.—0 n ac count of the disturbed state of Ireland, and the fear of an immediate outbreak, our market during the week has been very languid.

[PRICE SD. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS ' CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the - Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, there was some spirit. The quotations were firm. Sales 6,000 bales. American realised 34d to 54d per lb. Railway Shares were done at better prices, and closed well. A further advance seemed to be expected. The Soho packet, from Antwerp, has brought over a large cargo of fruit. The quays were' staved to have beca crowded with baskets ready for shipment. There was also wheat on board, and a quantity of window glass. Several Austrian officers were among the pas sengers. The Brazil mail brings no intelligence of a very re assuring character. Trade was excessively dull, and the political troubles in Europe had encouraged some of the turbulent spirits in Pernambuco to manifest renewed symptoms of disaffection. In the river Plate matters remained much, as before, but often as we have been deceived in the hope that peace would be brought about through the intervention of England and France, we cannot help regarding the prospect, at the date of our accounts, as being: much more favourable. The Monte Videans will bo campelled to acquiesce in the reasonable proposals made to them. The blockade of Buenos Ayres had lasted up,to May 6, no less than 956 days, and we may easily imagine how the foreiga merchants must have suffered. The house connected with the Mediterranean and Spanish trades, to which we alluded yesterday, has not yet, as far as we can learn, made any arrangement to meet its bills up to the present time. The weather is looked to with some anxiety and doubting to-day, but the rebellion in Ireland being now concluded, the Bears, who operated largely upon the presumption that a serious conflict would ensue, are buying back their Accounts. Tho dubious char acter of the Italian news prevents their doing this, however, to the extent they might otherwise do. Con sols, have been 87 to 87i for Money, and 87i to 87i for Account.

Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free. from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful In its effects, ROWLANI)'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise (lee action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted.

Marriage regains the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it try be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, an its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always incurious; the gift, which when used in moderation to fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and coeseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea )f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un 3omprosiplg hurry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, slid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item M the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or ieglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

HO - was born at Dromoland, county of Clare, on the 17th of October, 1803, being the'sccond son.of-Sir .Edward'O'Brien, fourth baronet (who'died in" 1837), by the , daughter and coheiress of William SmithoEsq., of.Cabirmoyle, county of Limerick. 'The latter lady wawa very rich heiress. The issue of this Marriage, insaddition to the subject of our notice, con sisted of eight other children, including Sir Lucius, the eldest son; Edward, born in 1806, and married to the daughter.Of Massy. Dawson, Esq., lgte M.P., a scion of the noble house of Cremorne; Robert, born in 1809, married to the daughter of Sir Aubrey de Vere; the Rev. =H. O'Brien, married to the daughter of John Godley, Esq, ; Grace, unmarried ; Anne, married to the Rev. ArthurrlVlartiheau ; Harriett, married to the Rev. Charles Monseli, a relative of Mr. Monsell, M.P., the colleague of Mr. Smith O'Brien, in the representation of Limerick county, .and Katherine - Lucia, married to 'the Hon. and Rev. Awyard Harris, brother of the Earl of Maltnesbury, one of the Prebendaries of Salisbury, and Rector of Wilton. The present head of the house of O'Brien, or O'Bryen, is the: Illarnuis pf e ., Thotnr4, who adopts the latter 'fOrik' ortlinkrtiphyrTnthe "fleduces his desc ent . from th‘e royal line Of Thomond; a Ace of Vrinces which sprang from the celebrated Hibernian monarch, Brian Borroime, or Boru, who commenced his reign in 1002, and terminated it with his life, near Clon tad, in 1014. Should the present Marquis die without male issue, a circumstance not improbable, Sty Luei us O'Brien will succeed hi m as B aron Luchiquin ; but not to the higher titles, which will become extinct. In reference to the existence of these titles, we may observe that in 1543, Mutrogh O'Brien, the then head of the house, repaired to England, and resigned his sovereignty to Edward VI., and was in recompense created Earl of Thomond for life, and Baron Luchiquin. The second holder of the baronetcy, Sir Edward O'Brien, was son of the Right Hon. Lucius O'Brien, who died during the lifetime of his father, by Catherine, daughter of Thomas Keightley Esq., of Ilarlingtoelk county of Ilerts, granddaughter of the first Earl . of Clarendon, and first cousin of Queens Mary and Anne. In the latter points the records of the several families agree. -- Mr. O'Brien married about twelve years since the daughter of Joseph Gabbett, Esq., of Limerick, by whom he has had issue either six or seven children. Mr. O'Brien is a graduate of Trinity College, Cam bridge ; when first returned for the family borough of Ennis, iu 1830 Mr. O'Brien was a Tory, and as such opposed Mr. O'Connell in the case of the memorable Clare election. He subsequently became a Whig, then a Radical, and in 184.3 he first joined the Repeal ranks. Since 1835 he has represented the county of Limerick. On the last occasion he succeeded in defeating Mr. Caleb Powell, the Old Ireland candidate, by 24 votes. Mr. O'Brien fought a duel with the late Mr. Thomas Steele, having exchanged two shots with that gentleman. Sir Lucius O'Brien, elder brother, is Lord Lieutenant of the county of Clare. The Dowager Lady O'Brien is still living, and possesses a property of about 5,000/. per annum, to which her second son was alw a y s cons id ere d to be the heir, but in other respects than as heir in prospect, Mr. O'Brien never was wealthy. Ho has, when in Ireland, taken up his residence at the seat of his mother. LIABILITY -OF ARTICLED CLERILS TO SERYN AO JURYMEN. — In the Sheriffs' Court, amongst the excuses made for not serving on the jury, one was by a gentle man, an articled clerk to an attorney, who contended that, as such, he was exempt. The Under-Sheriff said it was a novel objection, but not well founded. If the gentleman was of full age he must serve.

PENnrrn, JULY 30.—About nine o'clock on Friday evening last, the inhabitants of this town were alarmed by a young man gallopping into the town for th e police to take in charge Joseph Todd, gamekeeper to Capt a i n Youngsek), of Bowscar, on Penrith Fell, who he repro wilted had murdered Mr. Joseph Jackson, one of Cap tain Youngson's farmers, by shooting him through the heart. Mr. Martindale Scott, the high-constable, and assistants, immediately set off in a conveyance to Bow scar; on their arrival there found the young man's re presentation to be correct, for they found Mr. Jackson dead, and the murderer lying in the farmyard with his hands and legs tied with ropes, and shortly afterwards removed him to the House of Correction at Penrith. It appeared that on the former part of Friday some angry words had passed between Todd and Mary Dobson, the housekeeper (Captain Youngson, his mother, and family being from home) respecting a circumstance which no doubt will come out on the trial of the mur derer. Todd then left the house and went to Plump ton, where he remained until evening, and on his return to Bowscar he found Mary Dobson in Mr. Jackson's house, when he immediately seized her by the throat and threw her upon the floor, and no doubt would have strangled her, had not Mrs. Jackson and one of her daught ers rescued her from his grasp. The cries of Mary Dobson, Mrs. Jackson, and her family, were so great that Mr. Jackson, who was on another part of the premises, was attracted to his dwelling, and on ascertaining the cause he went up the flight of steps which leads to the entrance of his dwelling, where he met Todd with a double-barrelled gun in his hands. Mr. Jackson endeavoured by every possible means to pacify him and prevent him coming out after Miss Dobson ; and, at l ast T o d d, seeing that Mr. Jackson would not let him out of the house, raised his gun, and shot him through the heart 1 ; Mr. Jackson leapt a considerable height, and instantly dropped down dead in the presence of his wife and family. The cries of Mrs. Jackson and her distracted family were so alarming and loud that Mr. Collin, a neighbouring farmer, heard them, and with his son repaired with all haste to the spot, and found Mr. Jackson lying dead at the foot of the steps into the farmyard, and his distracted wife and family weeping over him. The murderer, whom Mr. Collin and his son secured by tying his hands and feet with cords, was a spectator of the melancholy scene. CITY IMPROVEMEISTS.—Last evening, the thorough fare of Holborn-hill having been widened forty feet, and the declivity reduced three feet, at a cost to the Corporation of London of 26,0001., was re-opened to the public. Mr. Perfect paired off in favour of Mr. Sharman Crawford's motion with Colonel Ferguson, on Saturday last. FIRE ON BOARD A VESSEL IN THE BRISTOL DOCKS. —Two livEs LOST.—BRISTOL, MONDAY.—Between one and two o'clock this morning the citizens were aroused by an alarm that a vessel was on fire in the Bathurst Basin, Bristol. The firo was discovered issuing from a sloop named the Neptune, which arrived in the docks last night from Newport, having on board nearly five tons weight of charcoal, and a miscellaneous cargo. The captain was on shore, but the mate and a youth (the captain's nephew) were asleep in the cabin, and a porter hired to unload the vessel was asleep in the forecastle. The mate being awoke by a fit of coughing and a sense of suffocation, discovered that the cabin was full of smoke, and apprebendieg.that the vessel was on fire, ho triad to arouse his companion, but could not; he then rushed upon the deck, gave the alarm, and received almost instantaneous assistance from the police, and they, on removing the hatches, discovered that the charcoal had spontaneously ignited. They then proceeded to the cabin and brought up the body of the youth, who was, however, quite dead, as was also the unfortunate porter in the forecastle. By the prompt arrival of the engines, &c., the fire was ppeedily extinguished. THE OLD CLOISTERS AT AVEszmiNsTER.---The re moval of the lath and plaster rubbish which has lune. en cambered the old cloisters on the east side of West minster Hall, has let in the light on their great and manifold beauties. The minute and elegant sculptured decorations which are carried web-like over the whole surface, make the so-called excess of decoration on the now parts appear positive plainness. by comparison. 'The little chapel offers many points deserving of study. in the course of the operations, some of the old Norman work forming the sides of the ball has become exposed: it shows two semi-circular headed windows, with a hatched string-course underneath. The object of the clearance is to effect the communication between the new Houses and Westminster Hall.—Builder.

THE ARILEALOGICAL INSTITUTE AT LINCOLN.... The meeting of the Archeological Institute at Lincoln commenced on Tuesday, and the appearance of this venerable, picturesque, and truly interesting city at the time of writing this promises well for it. The Duke of St. Albans, the Marqui s o f N ort h ampton, the Ear' Brov.nlow, the Bishops of Lincoln and Norwich, Lord Monson, the Deans of Lincoln and Hereford, Xtessrs. Hallam, Willis, Britton, Lawson, Disney, E. J. Willson, W. A Nicholson, and others had already assembled. Lincoln abounds in edifices and remains of the most in teresting kind. Its cathedral, or minster is amongst the finest of its class, not only in historical and biograpsaical, relations, architectural features, construction, and details, but also in its monumental and sculptural ornaments. The first, or architectural portion, is to be explained and commented on by Professor Willis, who has already done the sage kind turn for the cathedrals of Winchester, York, Canterbury, and Norwich. The sculpture is to be display and elucidated by Professor Cockerel.— Budder. DISEASE IN GRAPES.—A disease, almost universal, has this y ear seized upon the hot-house grape, a descrip tion of fruit which Liebeg and other naturalists consi dered almost free from disease of any kind. No one seems to knew how it originates, nor whether it is en demic or epidemic, though the gardeners think it is something in the air which causes the destruction. The grape, we understand, has been attacked in every stage; sometimes when it is not larg©r than a sweet pea, and sometimes when it has arrived at maturity, and in every stage between these points. The first sign, which ap pears suddenly, is a kind of damp bloom which comes over the grape, which then withers, decays, and finally rots.—Brighton Herald. ~~ ~~ r ~,
