John Short stood indicted for breaking into tile house of Win. Moore, at Pinner, on the 12th of March last, and taking from thence two 51. notes of the Bank of England, and various other articles, his property.—Verdict, " Guilty of stealing in . a dwelling-house." Ccitharine Welsh was indicted for the wilful murder of Jutny Welsh, an infant, on the first day of last March. ' s laty Hickman deposed, that as she was passing through Parsogreen on the 2d of March she observed the body of a child lying in a ditch of water. She spewed the body to her husband who was with her. It appeared about six weeks old. The constable carried the body to his house. ts. 3 ° } ln Levett deposed that he is constable of the parish of ea u : , r . h ied arn; when he took the child out of the water he it to his house, and from thence to the sign of the W hite Horse, where Mr. Holmes, the surgeon, examined the body in Are presence of the deponent. Mr. Holmes, the surgeon, stated that the body of the child exhibited several bruises, which might have been caused either by blows or by falling against stones when thrown into the ditch. Considered that the wound on the forehead was not sufficient to have caused death. The eyes were suffused with blood, and the eye-balls appeared t to have sustained severe pressure. No marks appeared on heneck to cause the appearance of being strangled. Pressing the neck might have produced the blood in the eyes in some degree. The child might have been strangled Without any marks appearing on the throat ; particularly if it had previously received a blow on the head. The internal parts of the child were in a healthy state. Considers the death to have been caused by pressure on the trachea. The wound on the temple he was certain had been inflicted while the child was alive. Had seen the prisoner in the work house before he examined the child, and asked her if she had been suckling a child ? She replied, that she had not for two months before. He examined her breasts, and found that they had contained milk, which she accounted for by Z a Y i ng, that she had been drawing her milk for that time, in h ope of getting a situation as wet-nurse; that her child had ;led two months before at the age of a fortnight ; it was born on Saffron-hill, and had been baptised at the Spanish Chapel . Levett, the constable, produced a bundle of the prisoner's clothes, which he had received from Catherine Barclay, Of Parson's-green. There were no children's clothes in that bundle. The place where the child was found was about two miles from Catharine Barclay's house. About half past nine o'clock, on the morning that the child was found, witness saw the prisoner walking near the ditch, sad looking closely into the water. She went from thence to King's -road. Witness told her he had found something and asked her if it was her's ? She asked what it was, and he replied a child, and asked her what she had done with the child she had had the evening before. She said, she had no child, and said, if witness wanted her, he would find her at Mrs. Fitch's where she was going to work the next (lay. She then went on, but the neighbours insisted c d t i l ,, the witness going aft er h er , w hi c h h e ac cordingly ", and asked her to go- along with him to the P la ce where she said she had slept the night before. She said h er child had been buried about two months, and that t was regi s t ere d i n t h e name o f J o h nny W r i g h t . Sh e sa id h Wars delivered at a house on Saffron-hill, but she did " 5 t know the cumber, nor the name of the people. Wit • 0 1 5 '7 asked h er th e name o f th e person who buri e d th e v d, but s h e prevar i ca t e d ver y much, and therefore wit t 'I CB5 que.stiomed her no farther. 'lames Wright deposed that he lives in the King's-road, 4 ° (l knows the place where the child was found. Lives nearly opposite to it. Was shewn it by a person named j eBD • I saw a woman near that place about six o'clock t he evening of the day before the child was found. ‘ v, s in the fi e ld a t th e time, a n d s p o k e t o h er . Witne ss% ` (l ) `' It is rather muddy welkin.- here ;" and she re- T'ed, " Y es , m y d ear , it i s ." She ' hal on the gown pro uCed, and a cloak over it. She had the cloak so wrapped around her, that it seemed as if she had a child, or s ninethi ng else, under the cloak. Witness did not eith er "e or hear the child. She then went over the plank and a : 4 Y from the place. I have seen that woman since at the in and now at the bar. She is the same woman .7 nave seen at the eel brook. Mr. Holmes, the surgeon, recalled.—The child found was a male child. Caleb Stacey deposed, that he saw the child taken out o f the ditch. Saw the prisoner the day before two or three times. She had something under a large cloak, Which appeared to be a child. The third time witness saw her, she was looking very closely in the ditch, and then returned on the road towards London ; and she still hAd'the same bundle under her cloak. 'Catharine. Barclay deposed, that she lives at Parsons' r een, and the prisoner came to bee house about seven fo'clock on Saturday night. She said she came looking fo r Work, witness had seen her a couple of times before ; w e liked witness if she had any girls lodging with her ? ~be s answered that she had, and mentioned their names; ~h e e slept there that night, and had a bundle under her cloak; we went out on Sunday morning but returned soon after the constable. lhe prisoner in her defence said, that she was delivered ~,;1 1 S affron -hill, and her child lived only a fortnight. It it Z buri e d i n t h e o ld b ury i ng groun d, High-street, Mary- Yi e• She had not a friend in the world to speak to °, to amid her. She was never outside the doors with bee child until it died. len Lord T ENTERDEN c h arge d th e J ury a t cons id era bl e fftli, after whi c h they consulted together for about haminute% in the box, but not agreeing, they retired at Past twelve o'clock to consider of their verdict. 13 0 their return into Court, at half-past three, they °tlnd the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy, as the evidence was only c ircumstantial. On hearing this N „ ' ,. r : l inte the prisoner was powerfully affected ; and cried -"` Several times, " My soul will b, in heaven, for I and not guilty of this crime." She then fainted. She was Order e d for execution on Monday. .nutsel Brown was indicted for assaulting James Gal ',67lY on the King's highway, and stealing from hi s person ' u s., his property. Ile prisoner, in his defence, said that he was quite in nocent of the crime laid to his charge. Two witnesses gave him a good character for general honesty. After Verdict--" Which M r . Justice PARK charged the Jury. Guilty." NEW COURT. Thomas Ifollier was convicted of stealing several silver Pons and forks, the property of Mrs. St. Leger, who re sides at 22, Baker -street. On the morning of the 31st of March, the prisoner was ks oi by the footman going out through the door of the front area. He •was pursued, and on being searched, the Phperty was f oun d i n h i s coat pocket. I t was state d , that Prisoner had leen for a c on s id era ble time in the habit of Sneaking down the areas of houses in that nei4hbourhood, under pretence of selling potatoes. James Bailey was convicted of stealing three gallons of wher ry , the property of Mr. Lovegrove, the landlord of the Percy Arms, in Rathbone_place. Mr, CLARKSON, for the Prisoner, submitted, that the a rticl e alleged to have been stol en was not sufficiently de leribed in the indictment. It was impossible, from what aPPeared on the face of the indictment, to say whether the r4ianner was charged with stealing wine, inasmuch as the 11ter stolen was merely designated " sherry." The, COMMON SeituraNT was of Opinion that the Case ° Oqt to go to the Jury, it would be for them to say whe- N - ,,, er _;the evidence clearly explained what was meant by the serf ° sherry." It appeared that -the prisoner was oti ,,itleed.,sitting in a cart, in which there were two pipes of hi s b , me property of prosecutor. The prisoner had (2, he to the horse, and was observed to be working at °f the pipes as if in the act of boring with a gim h,;" This induced a beadle, who had for some time min watching his motions to approach the . cart, ae k — i ll „which tla e prisoner dashed a nose hag violently tai ,1 4 ‘ ° l, e of the Wheels, and broke a large bottle con th-,..ng wine. The bottle was in the nose hag. Duringo att„ -°4f u , ion the carman absconded, and the prisoner le a , to escape. phr me -a a Proved that the pipe of wine which, to use the 10 7 , ( ; t. the witness, had been " plundered," contained Lo ndon L .ouo ni of wine on delivery v to the carman, at the gro ly, 'Jacks, an d th a t on being guaged, at Mr. Love• there was found to be a deficiency of three gallons. w Mick " x, BROKER'S CON VICT lONS.--At the cu t tel ~•3:s.sions (this day) a series of informat ion T h e; : f ors the C our t, on a pp ea l s f rom convictio ns . hVtatlbleite're laid by an informer named HAwLINS, who employed by th e w e ll-kn own MvEtts.

Beans and Peas fully maintained our last currency ; neither did we observe any alteration in Barley, of which hardly any appeared for sale.

PLANTATION SUGARS.-There has been very little done this week ; the market did not open until yesterday, on ac count of the Easter holidays ; the few transactions that have taken place have been at the last quotations : there are several arrivals this week, and the buyers appear rather less inclined to purchase, expecting a better supply at market. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 1,674 hhds. 119 trs. _ Stock on hand in West India Dock . s (on 7th instant), 8,507 hhds. 932 trs. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 9th April, 1827), 14,683 hhds. 1,030 trs. FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are still enquiries for the strong white qualities both of Havannahs and Brazils, but there does not appear to have been much business done this week ; 193 chests Brazils were offered by public sale yesterday, when the strong qualities sold at full prices, viz. a 355. 6d. for low to Ils. 6d. for good white; low to soft good whites taken in 335. a 375. browns and yellows sold 275. 6d. a 295. RerINFD SUGARS.-The only business doing in this market this week is in low lumps, which are partially taken off at last week's prices ; of the middling and fine grocery goods there continues to he a scanty supply, but nevertheless far these qualities the market is very heavy. COFFEE.—Two public sales were brought forward this morning of Plantation and Foreign, the former nearly all Demerara and Berbiee, the good and clean qualities of which were bought by the dealers at very full prices, viz.—Middling Berbice, 70s. a 745. For the Fo reign the demand did not appear to be quite so brisk ; good to fine ordinary Brazil partly sold 38s. a 42f,.. ; ordinary Sc. Domingo taken in a 375. ; of East India Coffee 3606 bags have been offered yesterday and to day, but the spirited demand noticed last week did not ap pear to be sustained, as part was bought in : no alteration in price, however, can be noticed. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 326 Casks, 1,314 Bags, Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 7th inst.), 10,250 Casks, 91,227 Bags, &c. Stock on hand in West India Docks (en 9th April, 1827), 9,063 Casks, 80,276 Bags, &c. Faurr.—There has been very little done in any descrip. Linn this week. NOV Bed Smyrnas continue to go off at tl.te quotations. In SrtcEs-there is no material alteration. Mace, Cin namon, Cloves, &c. are already at former prices. Pimento is firm. The stock is larger than at this period last year, being upwards of 3000 bags. Runt.—As the Government contract is to be taken this afternoon, there is not much doing in the Market this morning. The demand since Tuesday has however been quite as brisk as last week; Leewards are principally in quired after. In other spirits there is no material al teration. SALTTETRE.-The demand for this article since the beginning of the week has been very steady, and the price may now be quoted from 245. 6d. to 253. per cwt. The deliveries this week have been above 3000 cwt. TEA-. —The East India Company have just issued their quarterly declaration of Teas. The sale will consist of the following, viz. :—Of Bohea, 1,150,000 lbs.; of Congo'', Cainpoi, Pekoe, an. - 1 Sotichon, 5.300,000 lbs. ; of Twankay and Hyson Skin, 1,000,000 lbs. ; and of Ily.on, 250,000 lbs. The total amount of the sale will be 7.'700,000 lbs., precisely the same as the last sale of the several description of Teas. The quantity now declared is touch larger than the previous sale. RussiAN PaonucE.—The accounts from St. Peters burgh, state that purchases of Tallow continued to be made freely there at from 99 to 100 rubles. The total qnan tity bought up to the date of the latest letters was between 48,000 and 50,000 casks. In other articles of produce not so much was doing. Here Russia Tallow remains at about the former quotations, but little demand. The stock is not now above 15,000 casks. The deliveries in the week, ending last night, have been much larger than last week, nearly 9,000 cwt. The Government contract for Tallow being for only a small quantity, produced no effect on the market. For Hemp and Flax there is no increased demand, and Bristles are rather lower. Woor.s.—The importation of Wools from Hamburgll, have been exceedingly large latterly, and the market hese is nearly glutted. In the week ending last night, the quan tity of Sheep's Wool entered at the Custom House from the above mentioned port, has exceeded 300,0001b5. A good deal of business' in English Wools has of late been done, but the prices have undergone no improvemeat worthy notice. INnic.o.—As the Company's sale of 5,694 chests will commence on Tuesday next, there is no demand except for immediate wants. The prices are nominally those of last week. The deliveries from the warehouse are in creasing. The present stock of Indigo (East India) is greater than at this period last year. COTTON.-The purchases of Cotton this week have been quite as extensive as during the last. In East India t , wre has been a slight improvement in-the former quota tions, good descriptions of Surat fetching 4id. to sd. The deliveries are not, however, very large. The imports of Cotton this year have not been so great by about 20,000 bales, as in the first three months of last year. The stock at the commencement of the present month was about 400,000 bales. Egyptians are firm, and the market for all descriptions may be quoted higher. CHICHESTER MARKET.—ApriI 9. Beef 3s. Bd. to 4s. 6d. Veal 4s. ?d. to Is. 8.1.

H ERRING FISHING IN THE FIRTH of Foarn.—The herring fishing in the Firth may now be con sidered as substantially concluded for the season. On every stati on the fishermen have been grievously disappointed. The take will not reach half that of last year, and it has been the most unfavourabie fishing of the Firth that has occurred for a number of years.—Scotsman.

Mrs. Maria Aris, mistress of the chorus-singers at the Surrey Theatre, and teacher of music, was brought up on a charge of stealing a ring set with pearls, and some other articles of jewellery, the property of Mr. Bennett, at whose house she was engaged in giving lessons in music. The prisoner, who is a genteel-looking woman, appeared excessively agitated:; she was accompanied by her husband, who was in the deepest affliction during the examation ; he is also a performer at the same theatre. From the evidence of Mr. Bennett it appeared that the prisoner was in the daily habit of being at his house, for the purpose of instructing his wife in music and singing. In the course of last week, a pair of very valuable bracelets were missing from a case in Airs. Bennett's room ; but at that period not the slightest suspicion was attach ed to the prisoner, who was considered of unimpeachable character. Some few days afterwards a costly diamond cross was also found to have been taken from the same place, and suspicion was at length excited against the pri soner. In order, however, to ascertain beyond a doubt who the.thief was, a ring, set in pearls, was deposited in the box from which the other articles were stolen. Yes terday, as usual, the prisoner called, and having finished her lessons in music, left the house, and immediately after her departure the ring in question was missed. Mr. Bennett pursued the prisoner, and having met with a con stable, they overtook her jast as she was on the point of going into the theatre at the stage entrance. At the sight of Mr. Bennett and the officer, the prisoner became dread fully alarmed ; and upon their approachin g her she was observed to drop the ring, which was found at her feet. On examining her pockets, a great number of duplicates of property pledged at various pawnbrokers were found. It was stated that of late several articles belonging to the performers at dm Surrey Theatre have been stolen from the dressing-room. The prisoner was remanded. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WESTERN CIRCUIT.-TAUNTON, APRIL 10. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF RICHARD ALLMOND, A BANKRUPT, AGAINST MILLER AND OTHERS. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS, with whom was Mr. Serjeant MERREIVETHER and Mr. BAYLY, stated the can to the Jury. This was an indictment against the defendants, which had been put off on account of the absence of the bankrupt, who had kept out of the way for the last two Assizes, for having iu 1825, at Frome, in this county, fraudulently conspired together to sne out a commission of bankrupt against Allmond, and there having proved under such commission fictitious debts to a large amount, no such debts being due. The defendants were found " Not Guilty." There were other indictments for perjury, on which a verdict of " Not Guilty" wag taken. RICHARD GILIIA3I.—Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE hay respited this man until the 4th of June. BRISTOL, APRIL 9. The Assize business of the City commenced this day in the Guildhall, before Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, the Recorder of the City. When the Grand Jury were sworn, the RECORDER addressed them. He regretted that the calendar was heavier than usual, which could not be attributed to the want of precaution on the part of the Magistrates and the Police of the City : the increase must arise from other causes. lie alluded to two charges of uttering forged notes of a large amount in the calendar, and expressed his regret that the withdrawing of the 1/. notes from circu lation had not been the means of totally putting a stop to this description of crime : he thought that proper precau tion was not used iu many instances by persons to whom those kind of notes were tendered. The increase of crime in this country was greater than► in any other in propor tion to the population ; but in those countries where crime was not se great, personal liberty was not so extensive. The Magistrates of Bristol had from humanity relaxed the operation of the laws, and he (the Learned Recorder) re gretted that this lenity was not accompanied by a diminu tion of crime. At the conclusion of the Recorder's address, the Jury retired, and, after a few minutes' absence, returned a tine bill against Henry Heady and John Smith, who were placed at the bar for having stolen from the dwelling-house of Win. Isley a silver tea-pot, value W., a silver cream jug, value 259. The prisoners were both found George Cole and William Field were then placed at the bar, charged with having broken open and entered the dwelling-house of William Withycombe Harris, and stolen a great coat, one pair of boots, and other articles.— They pleaded not guilty. Mr. Harris sworn, and examined by the RECORDER.— Lives at Cumberland-place, Hot-wells; is an accomptant, land keeps a hotel. On Monday night, the I Sth February ; he went to bed, after locking up the street door ; left his great coat hanging up in the hall, and his boots there also; heard nothing till next morning, whe, his servant came up stairs, and informed him that the house had been robbed ; found the great coat at Abrahams', the pawn loroker ; did not find the boots ; annot swear positively that he ever saw the prisoners before ; saw no internal or external marks of violenca on the door. Abrahams, a pswnbroker, lives on the Welsh back ; identified the prisoner Field as the person who pawned the coat at his shop ; he gave his name as William Johnston ; entered that name upon the duplicate. Vickery came to his house to stop the coat. William Hunt, a watchman, sworn—On the 19th of February saw Field, with a bundle under his arm, and traced him to Abrahams' shop; saw him go in with the bundle ; he came out without one.

The match was decided in favour of Mr. W. Brown, he beating his oppo nent by S birds, .having killed 16. The second match was between Mr. Osborne and Dir. Lawrence, of the Red House Club, for the same sum as the first match, and on similar terms; Mr. 0., however, being allowed 28 birds, and Mr. Lawrence 25. The match was won by Mr. Lawrence, who killed 17 birds, and his antagonist only 10. NEWMARKET, APRIL 9.--Amongst the Company on the Heath yesterday was the Hon. CHARLES WYNDHAM. We are sorry to state that he was seized with an apoplectic fit in his carriage, and was instantly carried to his residence, where the necessary assistance was rendered, and he in a great degree recovered. The Hon. Gentleman was on the Heath to-day, but was again taken ill, and obliged to quit it. Or Saturday last the Ayrshire harriers found a fox at the Duke of PORTLAND'S plantations in the neigh bourhood of Loch Brown, which took therm across the finest country that can be imagined, the hounds running at the top of their speed for sixty-five minutes without a check, and viewing their fox about twenty yards before them, when he went to ground in the rock at Howford, on the water of Ayr. This was one of the most severe runs that has been seen with these hounds this season. Many celebrated horses. were nut, all of which suffered more or less from the dread ful pace the hounds went; and we regret to say, that Mr. ANNEsLgv's celebrated horse Harlequin died on Monday in consequence......

Dick inson, C.B. was to sail from Portsmouth on Tues day for Malta, having on board 18,0001. in specie for Gibraltar and Malta. Previously to her leaving Spithead, she was inspected by Admiral Sir If. Stopford, who expressed the greatest satisfaction at the appearance of the crew, and the state of dis cipline on board, declaring, that had he net known she had just come out of harbour, he should have supposed that she had returned from a three V ears' station, which reflected the highest credit on 'Capt. Dickinson and his officers. Capt. G. C. Blake, of Plymouth (though for some time past a resident of Hampshire), has com missioned the Pearl, a fine sloop of 600 tons, lately launched at Colchester, and now fitting out at Woolwich. We believe she was built by the builder of the Marquis of Anglesea's celebrated yachts. Lieut. J. Thorne is appointed Commander of the Barham; Lieut. Sir T. R. T.

Yesterday the election of a Surgeon for this Parish took place. The poll was carried on through out the day very amicably and with great spirit. There was no demonstration of that unpleasant feel ing which lately agitated the Parish in the election of a Vestry Clerk. At the close of the poll, the numbers were— For Mr. Beaman 3OO Mr. Morris Mr. Cole Mr. Best Majority for Mr. Beaman _ _ _ Mr. Dow, of York-street, was in the Chair. Mr. BEAMAN returned thanks. He expressed his confidence of ultimate success, if supported. by his friends. He wished entirely to rest his claims upon his professional qualifications, and pledged himself to discharge the duties of the office with zeal and as siduity. Mr. Brooks (we understand), who was appointed by the late Select Vestry, previous to the opening of the Vestry, considers that be still holds the office of Surgeon ; and the present proceedings were taken by the Parishioners, who assert their right to remove him, and elect a Surgeon of their own choice. In the present distressing scarcity of now novels, an author has (after minute search) been found to write one. It is nearly ready, and is to be called, "Pene lope, or Love's Labour Lost;" and in order to make the work a perfect unique, the author intends to write it all in English.—Morning Paper.

ENTERTAINMENTS AT DEVONSHIRE- House.—On Wednesday last, his Grace gave a magnifi cent Dinner to the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER. To meet their Royal Highnesses, were present—The Duke and Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND; Prince FELIX SCHWARTEENBERG ; Earl and Countess GOWER ; Earl and Countess of Gummi ; Viscount Motterru ; Lord and Lady STUART of Rothesay ; Earl and Countess CAwnos.; Count and Countess MUNSTER; Lord and Lady HEyxrsnusx ; Sir ANDREW BAYLEY ; Mr. anal Mrs. AU DLEY STANnOrE; Mr. and Mrs. CAVENnISR ; Count MOLTEE, Viscount VALLETORT, the Earl of Essex, Madame and Mademoiselle FALCK, aid the Minister from the Netherlands. The Dinner took place soon after seven o'clock. At half-past ten, arrived Mademoiselle SONTAG. This celebrated Lady was introduced to the gay circle in the Grand Saloon by the Prince POLIGNAC, with his usual grace, gallintry and spirit. The exclamation, " What a pretty, intelligent face !" was more than once exclaimed ; and the fascinating simplicity of her manners added to the gratification experienced on the occasion. Her's is really a very handsome English face, with a nose a-la- Grec, and a clear complexion. Iler figure, about the middle size; and em-bon-point. Mademoiselle SoNTAG executed some very difficult airs with a high degree of excellence. Her voice is naturally sweet, silvery, light, and brilliant. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.—The Marquis and Marchioness Wellesley, from their house ill St. James's square, for the Duke of Wellington's seat, Strathfieldsaye ; Countess de Grey, from her house in St. James's -square, ; for her seat, Putney Heath ; the Earl an d Countess of Belfast, and the Countess of Glengall , fo r Bri g hton ; Mar quis and Marchioness of Bristol, an d family, front theb house in St. James's-square, for the ir seat, Putney Heath, Surrey; the Marquis of Carmar then, in Bruton-street ; the Dowager Captain and Mrs. fiarding e, in St. James s-street, from Clifton; Baron de Ma reril and suite, at the Pnitenel lage Marchioness in a f ,,, Salisbury, n for i e, lle rts Captai n and Mrs. Maitland, from Paris ; , Hotel, Albemarle-street, from Paris, on their way to the Court of Portugal ; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, from the British Hotel, Jernryn-street, for Bath ; Captain Knight, from ditto, for Paris, SPIRIT OF THE rurtlC JouRNALx: The acceptance by the Greeks of the armistice offered by the Turks, can hardly be considered • as an act bearing all the formalities which uitially attend the temporary suspension of arms by bel ligerent states. It will probably be partly oh serVed and partly violated. If it allow the dif ferent corps and detachments, which are now intermingled. with each other, to separate them selves, and retire towards their respective seats of government, it may facilitate the work of pacification : but then the pacification 'must be one of which Grecian independence will' form the basis. For our own parts, grievous as the conduct of the Egyptian . troops has been, we should not be sorry tot. see them retire Ull/430- lestal. Not vengeance, nor even the power at inflicting rigid justice, is what should be sought for'as the end of every civil war, but the simple attainment of the object proposed at first : and this war, though not raging among men of the same race and language, has all the other cha racteristics of a civil war. Care, however, must be taken, 'both for the Greeks, and by the Greeks, that their cause be not worse at the end of the armistice than at its commencement.-- The one thing necessary, and never to be lost sight of, is the establishment of Grecian inde -1 p e n \ ti v e e n c h e a . v — e re T c h e n i e v s e'd an instructive little volume fi om Edinburgh (printed for Peter Brown and James Duncan, London.), under the title of " An Account of the Poor Colonies and Agri cultural Workhouses of the Benevolent Society of Holland, by a Member of the Highland Society of Scotland." The volume is illus trated by several plates, showing the manner in which the settlement is laid out, and affording; plans nist: and It i ele st t h , ao e ti f is of fruit to the f lo personaliuses of the Colo investigation, ' and perusal of various publications on the sub ject in the Dtitch and German languages. It is generally- believed in England, that in no country is the number of poor so great as here. The population of England and Wales, in 1821, was 12,218,500; and the number of persons re lieved permanently and occasionally out of the rates, in 1814-15 (the last return), without in cluding the children of individuals relieved per tnanently out of workhouses, was 895,336. The sum expended in 1814 on the poor, without in cluding law 'expenses, was 6,294,5831. The Sum expended in the year ending 25th March, 1827, was 6,441,0881.—n0 material increase in the money expended. The population of the kingdom of the Netherlands amounted, in 1820, to five millions and a half, and had beau increasing at the rate of 60,000 per an num The•number of poor receiviner assistance at their own homes, in 1825, according t to a Report by the Minister of the Home Depart ment, was 703,000, amounting to 11ri and a fraction in every 1,000. The English Retu."l6 are inaccurate, as we have stated ; but makin',.; every allowance for the children not includes;- the proportion of poor to the rest of the popula tion must be much lower than the proportion in the Netherlands. Nearly one half of the poor 'of the Netherlands are stated to be indigent from superabundance of children. This cause b er e s r s o n f d tb s e rti c z o s u n n s, tie h s, oN t v l e le v er fa m m u il m ic e s rou o s i , la of pauperism in England is local ; for in a great are bsit:luoulailm:tpr( F n r t a e l d we wl e lo o l n i t y ai fom i r isals w o ag a es iarg l e t r wouldpcar c a n ' t ) po pulation than England. In Mr. Sadler's late publication some facts are brought together on this subject, from which this may be inferred. For instance, in the twelve arrondissements of Paris, containing in 1823 a population of 713,966 souls, the Report of the Bureaux de Charia states, the total of the indigent assisted at their dwellings or - otherwise 1 5,500 Population of Hospitals and Alms-houses (Hospices) • 61,500 -187,000 And to this number must oe added foundlings, &c. But England has not only fewer necessitoug people than several of the neignouring coun tries, but she has actually fewer, compared with the population, than she had in former times. Great praise has been bestowed on Mr. Gregory King, for the accuracy of his calculations, by Mr. Charles Davenant, who adopted his state ments, and by other contemporary lvriters. He makes the population of England, in 1688, to amount to 5,500,520, and the number of cot tla,g3eoros,olclo.pauffertsherec:uilninogii7layidictlointßoll,9oo,norizat‘nt t ve ( e : at that time amounted must bear in mind that this sum is greater, com pared with the then funds of society, than the sum now paid to the poor is to the present funds of society. The indigence is not greater now than it was formerly, but it is better attended to, England is the country of exaggeration and alarm ; and on no subject has there been more exaggeration resortea to than in the case of the poor. It is of some importance, however, that correct notions should be entertained on this subject, because the ex aggerations are laid hold of by the Irish Gently as a reason for not consenting to an act of justice to their own poor. Their way of rea soning is, no doubt, curious enough, even ad mitting that the Poor Laws had been productive of evils in England. See what a burden you have subjected yourselves to, say the Irish 'Squires to the English, by your Poor Laws ; and therefore, as you are so heavily burdened, osllni(i)ollr we will throw upon you the additional burden of supporting our poor as well as your own. In the little work on the Poor Colonies of Hol land, to which we have alluded, the writer, in his Preface," very justly observes—" Far be it thela ri mendicantisamengc bearfrdn the us tosaute maint ainrank, o t that a e t i,i t o h y e with those who s ubsist by their own honest efforts. This. would, indeed, be to rob inde pendencemost valuable distinction, and wouh its o spiritf i t s injustice. But akin to this error is the opinion, that the by the most receivers of alms may be ffectually reclaimed or economically managed without either with drawing them .from the guidance of their, own. perv erte d desires, or c ,on I rouling them by any rules ef d . • V ls„ciP ine and res t ra i n t un pl easan t t o themselves. T 1 , li, expence of settling' a family consisting of seven or eight individuals, in a Dutch Paup er Colony, amounts to 1,700 florin:. Experience, , ' says the writer, " h - s hown, that the tl tree-and-a-half morgen, ujion which seven or eight individuals arc thus established, is not merely sufficient for their support, but enables th em to accumulate considerable wealth. Three families, consisting of about twenty per sons, are thus settled at an outlay, on the part. of the Society, of only 3,100 florins; and the whole of that sum, and a great deal more, as will be hereafter shewn, is repaid in the course of six teen years. The cultivated land, houses, &c. then remain a clear and unincumbered property for the relief of the poor of future ages.' We are told, too, that " the too rapid increase of the population within the Colonies is rendered al moat impossible, by the great mortality, arising lio
