VOR TUF or CHrineil BRIEFS. LE'l ft V. M. RIDITOE-Whoever will take the trouble to read carefully the Act of the 4di and 5' lr of Queen ANNE, on the subject of Briefs, will be convinced,, I think, that no great abuse can pos sibly take place in the receipt aril application of the collections—so strictly is.every step guarded by public documents, referred to, and recorded in, tin; Court of Chancery. The chief evil, for which an etlicient remedy, appears to be wanted, is the neglecting to return the Briefs, as the Act requires, from the several Chnrches, Chards, &c. In a paper now before me, printed by order of the House of Commons, in May of the present year, 1819, containing an exact account of all the Briefs for Churches or Chapels, issued since Michaelmas 1805, it appears that the number •of Briefs returned always falls considerably short of the number sent out. The number issued is al ways the same, namely 10,800. The number re turned continually varies, in a greater or less pro portion. The highest number that occurs in many years is 9,578, which is no lesithan 1222 defi cient. The lowest, in the saute period, does not exceed 9,252, which falls short of the number issued, by 1548. I have good reason to think that the printing of this Parliamentary Docu ment, which throwi the clearest light upon the whole subject, was intended as preparatory to some new and improved enactment on this important subj e ct. I know, indeed, that it has been zealously taken up, by an able and en lightened Member of Parliament, and that what shall he done will probably be done with the soundest judgment and effect. This knowledge might, perhaps, be thought to render my present addresses to the Public altogether superflu‘s, since the cause is in so much better Wands. But my opinion is very different ; and my sole ambi tion has been to prepare Cie way, as an humble pioneer, for such Legislative Acts as may here after be passed for rendering these Briefs efficient; and thus supplying every want, which otherwise must remain, after all that can be done, either by the• Parliamentary grant for building, or by the excellent Society for repairing and enlarging Churches. The office, which I have tlpis taken up, is far from being superfluous ; for, as long as the inve terate opinion shall possess the public mind, th;it the chief part of the money collected on Briefs is eitlo wasted in tees, or diverted into some other channel, it will be • impossible, by any law, to obtain. a cordial reception for them. Such a re ception, I mean, as the heart' of every Briton would spontaneously bestow, if no suspicion con tinued to dwell upon the mode of application.— 'to obtain this is the object of my Letters, which ere merely intended to prepare the public mind, for what I trust is meditated, by persons of more influence in the State. The Parliamentary Paper above-mentioned contains, in parallel columns,' the following par ticulars, respecting every Church'and Chapel as. sisted by a Brief. 1. The name of the place. 2. The Date. 3. The Estimate of the sum wanted. 4. The number of copies of the Brief sent out. 5. The number returned. 6. The sum collected. 7. The expeucc. , of the patent. 8. The collector's salary, or remuneration. 9. The net proceeds, or cleric money gained for the Charity. 10. The times at which the money was paid in. The very possibility of staling all these particu lars, with absolute precision, in - every instance, proves abundantly that nothing fraudulent or underhand could possibly take place on any oc- casion. On the averages of these several particulars, as they appear in this most satisfactory document, some important remarks may be made; hut as th e y would lead us, at present, into a detsil of too great extent, I shall reserve them for the subject of a future communication, from Yours, PHILADELPHUS. .MARIIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Ou Thursday, the 16th instant, was mai-lied iu the parish chute') of Trenti4ani, in the County of Stafford, by his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Youte, the Right Hon. HICHARD Lord Viscount BiLGRAVE, eldest sort of the Eat I of GRosvEtvon, to the Right Hon. Lidy ELIZABETH MARY LEVEsON GOWER, young est daughter of the Most Noble Marquess of STAFFORD. We understand, by letters received in the City by the last Mail from Valencia, that an immense number of persons (indeed so many as 140 are mentioned) have becn.put to the torture, in the castles and dungeons of Murvietiro, with a view to exact from them confessions respecting any po pular corn motions that might be dreaded in the country.—(Morning Chronicle.)

They have both shown so much merit in acting and musical talents, that their success could not he dounttol, and they both sustained their chti . racters to the satisfaction of the audience, except a few Radicals, who were probably put out of humour, because, on the entrance of the Duke and Duchess of KENT, God sore the King was vehemently demanded by the audience, and sung by all the vocal Performers. At the end of the play this loyal air was called for again. Mr. CONNOR appeared, and said that the Singers had lett the Theatre, but should be 'sent tor, and the song be repeated at the end of the first act of the farce. This did not satisfy the audience, and after a great clamour, the curtain dropped, but was raised'again, and the air given by as many of the Performers as could be col lected. The farce of The Critic was then suf fered to proceed. The Duke and Duchess quitted the Theatre during the first act. They were received with a most gratifying spew of loyalry by the audience on their entrance anti de parture.. WILLtAm SMITn, Esa.—We are deeply, con cerned that we have to state the death of this Gentleman, which took place on Monday last, at Bury St. Edmund's. He was in the eighty-ninth year of his age, and, till within the last. few months, had enjoyed an excel lent state of health. Be was a Gentleman and a Scholar. H« possessed not only a taste fur the Moses, but wrote many spirited Poems, which his delicacy prevented him from submitting to the public at large. He was long an ornament of the London Stage, even in the time of GARRICK, of whom he n'as one-of the most ardent admirers. It may truly be said that be has left an amiable Widow to deplore the loss of an affectionate Hus band and euligtened Companion, end a numer— ous circle of friends who held bini in the highest estimation, to ►anient the loss. CORONER'S INQUEST AT NIANCHE'STER. MANCTIRSTER, SEPT. 15.—The adjourned in quest• upon the body of Campbell, the Special Constable, \rho Was 'so inhumanly treated by the mob, on Tuesday, the 17f h of last month, w's held io-day. Chapman, the orange-dealer, and the famed --, front, London, attended, but were not allowed by the Coroner (John Milne, Esq.) to interfere with the witnesses. There was a great deal of evidence as to the - attack ; from twenty to thirty witnesses were examined, but as notes were not allowed to be taken, no particulars can be given. The verdict was— " Wilful Murder against certain person or per sons at present onknown." Mr. Ashworth, a Barrister, and Mr. Barrow, a Solicitor,- attended on behalf of the landlord of the house where Campbell had taken shelter, and his brewer, both of whom have been in custody for some days. It appears from the evidence, that neither of those persons ' are implicated, anti that \ they did not turn Campbell out to satisfy the fury of the mob, as was formerly stated, but that the door of the house was broken open, and hundreds of persons rushed in and laid hold of him ; they were therefore honourably quitted, and instantly liberated. The Jprols were so satisfied of the landlord's innocence, that the whole of them signed - a declaration to that effect, for the satisfaction of the Magisriates at the en siling Sessions for granting ale licences. - The Earl of COVENTRY, on Tuesday last, gave a sumptuous entertainment to the Mayor . and Corporation ot Worcester, who were conveyed to his Lordship's treatitirni seat, at Croome, carriages ot the Noble Earl, drawn by six horses. The civic party were received, o,► their arrival, by tie Countess and Lord DEERHURST j covers weie laid for eighty persons. The dinner consisted of turtle, venison, and every delicacy of the season ; the wines were of the most rare and costly de scription, and the evening was spent will, t'►e ut most urbanity.

These Miscreants are 'so (Iciest able that if ie were not for their tligitious designs they would be too contemptible tor notice, but as they night rather to be assailed by humour than by argu ment, we hare taken the subjoined article from. The Birmingham Chronicle TO TIIE EDII-011. SlR—The blow aimed at the Borough-monger ' ing systeni " by the resolution of the Radicals tre drink no exeiseable liquors." would, it they were really Deuterons, be, indeed, severe, for these'said Radicals are, or have been, on inconsiderable con toner s of beer and ardent spirits. But this blow to be followed by one much heavier : for I learn theing a ii tle acquainted wi•h one or two of these gentry, though no Radical myself) that in some pats they have garde so far as to bind themselves by an oath, not to eat, or think, or wear any thing that is either directly or indirectly taxed, till they obtain " universal suffering," or; as tl►e traders call it, " universal suffrage."— Finding, however, after a little sober reflection, that they must, by virtue of their oath, expose themselves to prosecutions from the Society fur the Suppression of Vice, for indecently exposing their prisons, they have appointed a Committee of '2OO, (a favourite number) to consider on the means of escaping from this Pilernma. The Coin - wittee have recommended the adoption of the practice of their forefathers, who, they have found our, used upon some occasions to paint themselves. And as in this Contmittee there were some ingenious fellows, they have invent ed paints composed of articles untaxed, and un taxable ; and some of them are expected shortly 1 0 open t ;1 1 . 9 ,s in every town as " PaillterS to the Radicals." Patterns bolt of colours and of dresses are in forwardness ; for they have designs for painting persons so - as to give an appearance of dress. For instance, they will paint a oak( d man so that he shall appear to he dressed in a loose blue great coat, or any other dress that may he fashionable among them. These will cost some shillings, bring a superior article, and are intended only for the leaders : for the rest, those I mean, who are led by the nose by these men, they have a neat and cheap black varnish, and chalk for the button-holes, pockets. &c. The button-holes may be refreshed or varied at plea sure, and the varnish, wilt fair wear, will last about a tormight, and may be renewed for about three half-pence. This is a deep laid . scheme. But that 1 have heard it whispered, antong some warm partizans of these Radicals, that tears are entertained that their deluded follexers, having been heretofore a ccu s t o med to somesiiH t ; warm within, and some thing warm without, ►t iil, wheo the cold weedier comes, quit their ranks, and again pet on a coat and breeches, though some cat the materials may be directly or indirectly taxed, and will again drink a pint of clear mild ale though Excise Duty has been paid upon it. Leaving this as well as many other things to be discovered by time, the great revealer of secrets, I remain yew's, &c. September 14. X.X. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CURRAGH SEPTENIBER MEETING.
