VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. jUI;C MENT.....EX.PARTE TITTER, IN ICE DOLZY, A BANFfarPT. T• he V ICE - CHANCELLOR gave judgment, at the T i ling of th e Court, upon this bankrupt petition. ne questi on f or his decision was, whether Mr. C4rriberland, one of the assignees of the bankrupt, 9purchased part of the bankrupt's property at the e und er t h e commission. I t wou ld b e a super ,ous Prop os i t i on to say t h at i t was t h e p l a i n prin 411e of thi s C ourt, in its j ur i s di ct i on i n b an k ruptcy, :t to allow an assignee, directly or indirectly, to dZehase any p art of estate, which it was his „ty to ad m i n i ster for the genera l b ene fi t o f the cre ofltters of the b an k rupt . It appeared cl ear ly i n btaSe that C um b er l an d h a d ex p resse d hi s i n t en tio n oming the purchaser of the property in qeestion. e~ that Mr. Brooks, his solicitor, did, in fact, pur , se that very property, and it was now contended the petitioners that he so purchased it as the t i k (ent of C um b erland. It appeared, however, from i ll " affidavit s o f C um b er l an d an d ot h ers, t h at h e hay (4.g consulted with Brooks as to the legality of his l lt ring his intentions into effect, was advised that C ould not, under any circumstances, buy the pro pe t tY at the bankrupt's sale. It appeared also that t - Cumberland, who had esigaged a Mr. Sweeten bid for him at the sale, subsequently distinctly re eked that order. ki s HONOUR could not refrain frOm remarking te the improbability of the case, as sought to be de out by the petition. It was, in his opinion, w i PIY improbable that Mr. Brooks, the individual 11 , 4 0 had a d v i se d M r. Cumberland of the illegality of . 14 4 purchasing the bankrupt's p ro p er ty, s h ou ld b e tl Very p erson a f terwar d s selected to bid for him at 4 sale. The very fact of Mr. Cumberland's having ly avowed his intention of becoming the pur -1,,,er bef ore h e was m ade aware of the illegality of t ',7 4 a proceeding, did away, in his Honour's i f il itts with many of the facts put forward in support klt ' t he petition. His Honour, after going through tend of the affidavits on both sides, and remarking Zthu zeal manifested. by Cumberland and one of 'NI-assignees, Mr. .Molyneux, to get the bank ststlPt's stock into the most saleable condition, said that suspicion ought to rest on them for not inserting their cata l ogue o f t h e stoc k Mr. Dolby ' s lute ,t in several rights. Mr. Dolby stated that he d 1157/. for these copyrights, but he (lid not add b en that money was paid, or what species of ''lterest be derived from the purchase, so thnt his T t ;Oita were, as res p ecte d t hi s part o f t h e property, : f i ectly undefined, and it was therefore not the duty tne assignees to put up to sale the copyrights, of o t i e "lctt t h ey k new not hi ng c er t a in ; but it was i n evi aeethatthe auctioneer when questioned on the sub s', during the sale, stated openly that whoever pur t,tred any part of the printed stock became also en ded to Mr. Dolby's interest in the copyright of inie Works. It was also in evidence that Brooks ;7 not purchased " Hook's Roman History," one iphe w or k s t h at Cum b erland had expressed his it't!ntion of buying. Mr. Brooks b ecame th e pur 4ter of " Th e B r i t i s h Th eatre, " an d ot h er works, \ Nth II he re- so ld to M r . C um b er l an d at a p ro fi t 30 /- This circumstance certainly raised a suspi th, that B roo k s was t h e agent o f C um b er l an d , b ut at inference was discharged by the affidavits of neon who best knew the real facts of the case. t r cloks swo re th a t from the circumstance o f th ere hun tw ing , been numerous failures in the book trade, he • gnt that a speculation in books might be profit- Q, and that therefore he was induced to purchase 'le books in question. His Honour proceeded at % Itsiderable length and ,with much minuteness to t : t unneut on the nature of the charge brought against Cumberland, and the evidence brought forward h . :,lupport of it. Much of that evidence might L'A s tps b e a tt r ib u t a ble to mistake unintentionally iVe, and perhaps founded upon the fact of 4 4- • Cumberland having expressed his determination becomi ng t h e purc h aser o f t h e b an k rupt ' s stoc k. lel4 there were other parts of the evidence so con iet,_ °TY, that his Honour was called upon to s ay t k Willi+ party credit was d ue . F or i nstance , w h en Le evidence ef- Mr. Dolby conflicted with that of Zt_. Cumberland, his Honour could not forget that : Dolby had upon his last examination before Commissioners, sworn that his property, if well tif . 4 _ l l ll (l. would be sufficient to pay all his debts; be debts amounted to over 21,0004 and ire available property to meet these debts con iltted . of stock' to the value of 6,5001., and l i s _ e Ng to the extent of 5001. Add to this '"e extraordinary manner in which the ac- Ib knts were kept by him. For instance, in the 1 1 . 1 lidst of his entries reweting business were to be hot such entries as thee—" This is excessively 7t weather"—paid to Mr. Lewes 2/.—" it rained 1, 1 41 Y all day."—" I went to Hampstead last even es and drove Susan round th e H ea th." Th ese F, cu tristances, to say the least of them, showed eat levi t y o f un d erstan di ng , and a very in -I;etirate method of keeping his business-accounts. Port the whole of the case, therefore his Honour t etel of opinion that Mr. Brooks did not purchase as c agent of Mr. Cumberland; that the re-sale to fo r- Cumb er l an d did not ta k e phee until the 27th i tri ja nuary, three days after Brooks purchased the i n i e rtY• Under these circumstances the petition th tlat be dismissed, but as there was perhaps some -101% however innocent, in Cumberland's conduct excite suspicion, the petition, as respected him, ta t be dismissed with ou t cos t s . Th er e was, how ,'er, nothing in th e con d uct o f hi s co - ass i gnees to u s e th e s li g h test susp i c i on, an d , as f ar as t h ey were "erned, his Honour dismissed the petition with %sts.

LATE KENT MEETINd. TO THE EDITOR. 01' TH.E. NIORNING CHRONICLE. Sir . ,—ln your .account of the meeting at Penen den Heath, though the pincipal features are taken notice of, and the speeches of those who delivered their sentiments most accurately reported, still there is a colour given to the proceedings calculated to leave a wrong impression on the mind. You much overrate the victory gained by the fol lowers of Lord Winchelsea, if you consider it in any respect triumphant. The more subdued tone used at the meeting on Friday last, compared with the bloody harangues uttered by the Brunswick Asso ciation at its first institution, is itself an acknow ledgement of defeat. The numerical superiority was the superiority of assiduous schooling, over plans concocted, in a hurry; the influence of large landed estates in the neighbourhood of.the place of meeting, opposed to an aggregate of individual exer tion, brought together from every corner of the county, without connection or unity. Had the place of meeting been changed to the less bigoted parts of the county, nearer the metropolis, would the libe rals have had to descend to a forced conscription of the peasantry, to ensure a triumph far more glorious? The proper effect, moreover, of the Liberal party there assembled was much hindered by the gross par tiality of the Sheriff, who presided at the Meeting; however bad their preparations were, this circum stance operated with scarcely less force against them. It is of course the wish of those, whose principles are not laid in reason, to let no argument be heard which would attack those principles; hence proceeded the illiberal usage the reasoners met with on the 24th : but a little energy, impartially exerted on the part of the Sheriff, would have put both parties on fair grounds; and those who endeavoured to.reason would have had only the weakness of their arguments, or the prejudices of their hearers, to tax for their want of success. As it was, the most impudent interrup tions were permitted, and the majority of those who address ,, hl the Meeting on the Liberal side could be heard only by their most immediate neighbours. The issue of the Meeting was at all events very import ant. In one of the strong holds of bigotry and into• lerance, with all the benefits of previous organization, on Association was formed to force Government to certain measures; whose opponents, too, with few or none of these advantages, had, in addition, to contend with the partiality of the High Sheriff. With these drawbacks the victory was almost doubtful. May such a victory attend the Illiberals in every county throughout England, and I shall not despair, we may be yet spared the horrors of a civil war, and free our selves frcm a continuance of that ignominy justly heaped on us by every nation in Europe, for our treatment of unhappy Ireland. _ _ 1 am, Sir, &c. &c. A MAN OF KENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—There has been much said respecting the meeting on Penenden-heath. As I was present on that occasion, and being in a position which gave me an opportunity of not only seeing, but of hearing many things which of necessity escaped the notice of the reporters, I proceed to lay before you those circumstances which met my observation. lam the more anxious to do so, being totally unconnected with any of the parties who figured on the occasion. I arrived on the heath early in the morning, where I found a great number of agricultural labourers, car rying large sticks calculated to do much mischief in the event of a row, among whom, knowing some thing of the yeomanry of Kent, I should say there was not more than one out of thirty who were free holders. Shortly afterwards a number of waggons arrived from Chatham, conveying about thirty persdna each (of course, freeholders), the draymen, and other labourers, in the employ of Mr. Best, the large brewer there. In order that these worthies should be sufficiently primed for the occasion, a.barrel of ale and a round of beef was placed in each waggon by way of keep ing up their spirits. Many other parties of a similar description of free holders, to the amount of some thousands, made their appearance in succession from various rendez vous, where they had been ordered breakfast. I have merely mentioned the above circumstances to show with what assiduity the Brunswickers were animated in order Rot only to secure a majority of hats, but also a strength sufficient to put down or drown the Liberals at their pleasure. The urea enclosed by waggons was in the form of a horse-shoe, and I should imagine calculated to contain about 5,000 or 6,000 persons, the waggons so placed being in many instances three deep, and occupied by what are termed the higher and mid dling classes, generally speaking, nine deep. The centre waggon was appropriated to the use of the High Sheriff, his deputy, Lord Camden, Sir E. Knatchbull, &c. Immediately on the left of the centre was the grand focus of the Brunswickerb, Lord Winchelsea, the mover and beconder of the proposed petition, Lord Guildford, &c., from whom emanated all their, well•concerted plans for carrying into effect their orders. About two waggons from this station, extending to their left, was a signal station for their partisans, and so they were continued, at about the same dis tance, occupying that side of the curve. _ A person pointed oat to me as Lord Abergavetiny commanded the centre position, who, by the bv., was nut one jot inferior to the celebrated Caleb Baldwin, in his most infuriated state at a Westmin ster election, encouraging, in the most boisterous manner, not only the people immediately about him, but straining his lungs to the greatest extent to pre vent the Liberals from speaking or being heard. The cries of " No Popery," " Put him down," Off, off," " Questiorr, question," " Pass it on, pass it on," commenced during the speech of Lord Camden, Vi - ho was also interrupted by a beardless cow-boy (a freeholder, no doubt), calling his Lord ship a-- old Radical; but this was increased on Lord Darnley coming forward,, and was carried to such an extent during the speeches of all the other speakers, except Mr. Larkin and Sir E. Knatchbull, who was only once interrupted by Cobbett bawling out " Men of Kent, win you listen to a thing like that, when there is such a man as me here ?" that it was impossible to hear what was said, unless you were within a few feet of the speaker. The liberal party occupied the opposite carve, and did any thing but act in concert. Those who are known by character as Whigs were immediately on the right of the Sheriff, Mr. Shell about the centre, and Messrs. Hunt and Cobbett on the right. Independently of the Liberals not acting in con cert, they made much less display than they could have done, being closely crammed together; whereas the Brunswickers were in open order, which you will perceive gave them the decided advantage they had in a show of hats. A most diabolical attempt was made by a Bruns wicker in Lord Winchelsea's waggon to excite the people to a breach of the peace against Mr. Sheil. —While the learned gentleman was addressing the meeting with considerable warmth and action, the worthy alluded to called out, " Men of Kent, w ill you allow that vagabond to shake his fist in your faces ?" "Put him down—down with him." "Is this to be borne ?" " Put him down, I say." So much for " their bold though gentle b ear i ng on t hi s momentous question." The Sheriff was completely under the. influence of Lord Winchelsea and his party, and in the most weak and culpable manner did he allow them to dic tate to him. They pressed upon him the names of those they w i s h e d to hear, by what they called— "passing on " any cr y or signal they thought proper from station to station, until a deafening shout was raised, and which was kept up until their purpose was served. There was one or two instances wherein they were defeated by their own dear selves. When Mr. Larkin was speaking, the people at head-quarters wished to put him down, by calling " Sir Edward' knatchbulll.—Sir .tdward Knatchbuti,"....z . " Men of Kent,won't you hear rur Member ?" & c . Sir Edward pacified the "gentle though bold," by telling them that Cobbett would be the next speaker, and, to use his own words, "I wish Cob bett to go before me :" hence it was that Mr. Lar kin gained a hearing. The worthies in the head-quarter-waggon insisted that the question hal been carried, although no amendment had been put; but Sir Edward Knatch bull, acting on the advice of a barrister immediately below him, would have the amendment and question put again, saying, " It won't do; if we insist, they will deny it, and we are not in a condition to prove the contrary." The Commander-in-Chief (Lord Winchelsea) promised the little influence he might possess to ob tain a hearing for any other gentleman, if they would only allow him to proceed. But after he had had his say, he refused to exert that little influence, al though repeatedly called upon to do so, especially by Mr. Shell. So much for the fair play which took place at a meeting where the BrURSA% ickers wish it to be un derstood that they had gained a victory. But how stands the fact ? The meeting, I take it, did not amount to more than between 20,000 and 25,000 persons. And who were they, pray ? for it does so happen that there are not many more than half that number of freeholders in the whole county; and that there was not mere than a third of the ,freeholders present is a well-known fact. The Brunswickers, finding themselves foiled in making it appear that they-had the votes of the freeholders, wish to put it off as the sense of the county at large; but I should like to know how they can, with all their ingenuity, persuade the people of England that from 20,000 to 25,000 persons (and they all been Brunswickers, instead of a very small majority) could by possibility, on such an occasion, be supposed to express the opinions of a population of 400,000. Where were the Representatives ? There are 18 returned for the various places in the county, and only a solitary expression of opinion was delivered out of the lot, which does not say much in favour of that triumph which the Commander-in-Chief, Caleb Baldwin, and their " knee-deep" companions,elairn. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. rimlicc, Oct. 29. P. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As one who was eagerly watching the movements on Penenden Heath, I beg to assure you that the " Liberals" have no reason to despond in the failure of their first great effort to remove old prejudices, warmly indulged, upon a subject little understood by the mass of Kentish freeholders. Owing to the contest which has just taken place, there is scarcely a town in the county but now con tains intelligent inhabitants, who have fixed their attention to the claims of the Catholics, and are daily becoming converts to the political necessity of emancipation. The want of concert I bewail, as much as you do, among the friends of civil and reli gious liberty, and lovers of national ,peace; for if the same activity and union had been practised on our side as on the other, I conceive the Sheriff, in spite of his propensity, would have been compelled to announce a different conviction, as to numerical strength. His partiality towards the Brunswickers was disgraca,dly shown through the proceedings of the day, by suffering our speakers to be uniformly interrupted by the yells, howls, and groans of the op posite party, one of the most noisy of whom sat im mediately before Earl Winchelsea, that disturber of the county. Did his Lordship conceive it manly policy to keep the powerful and persuasive arguments of the opposinr , nobility from being wafted to his followers ? Certainly he thought it prudent, or the fellow with stentorian lungs had not been in that si tuation. The gentlemen also on the Brunswick side were permitted to interrupt, by rising to ejaculate crude ideas, whilst Liberals were haranguing. The Under-Sheriff read in an audible, clear, and persua sive tone the resolutions of Mr. Gipps ; but no similar advantage was given to the amendment of Mr. Hodges; although the noises, before alluded to, pre vented the possib►l►ty of the Brunswickers at a small distance from hearing a word of it. I remit you these facts to be made what use of you please, because you speak too despairingly of a cause to which you bad before sanguinely predicted a different result—and hope in charity that you will consider your cones ponderit to all such, as would fight their fellow countrymen up to their" knees in blood," AN ENEMY. THE KENT MEETING.—The following statement ' is ffiam a highly respectable and intelligent freeholder of Kent : its correctness may be fully relied on : The freeholders of Kent were disgusted with the Brunswickers. A great portion of the meeting were not freeholders ; the poor tenants -and labourers of Lady Geary and of Colonel Stratford were drawn to the meeting in their waggons. Few of the meet ing understood the real object, they were deceived into a belief that it was a contest between the Pro testants and Catholics,—who. , e religion was to be the established religiOn of the land. Two-thirds of those who really understood the object of the meeting, and who really were freeholders, were against the petition. All who could hear the speech of Mr. Shiel were delighted with it; it was unan swerable, and it is believed will have a great effect throughout the kingdom. The meeting, altogether, gives great satisfaction, as tending to open the eyes of the prejudiced, and to expose corruptions under the name of church or religion.—Globe. OLYMPIC GAMES & GREEK TRAGEDIES A project for the re-establishment in Greece of the ancient spectacles, is now in contemplation. The Greeks, if several of the Continental journals can be credited, have formed a design to celebrate their ap proaching deliverance by rejoicings and festivals similar to those in which their ancestors took so much interest. Several marches selected from the Siege of Co rinth, by Rossini, and more especially the national hymn introduced in the overiure of that lyric tragedy, have inspired the Hellenists with a strong desire to enjoy the representation of a chef d'oeuvre which will distinguish the most glorious of their modern exploits, namely, the heroic defence of Missolonghi. Since France sent into Greece her adventursus expedition, several artists and men of letters in Europe have undertaken a scientific pilgrimage to the Morea. One of them, Professor Julius Spingler, who is still in the flower of his age, has thought proper to announce the arrival of the literary expe dition by a sort of manifesto. The principles ot the young German do not accord with those of the phi losopher of Geneva. " All powerful. God !" exclaims Rousseau, " de liver us from the lights and destructive arts of our fathers, and leave us in ignorance and poverty!" Far from wishing the Greeks to remain in ignorance and poverty, Mr. Spingler believes that the caltivation of arts and letters will efface the traces of their long slavery, and raise them to the point of civilization from which they have fallen. He wishes to re-esta blish Olympic Games upon the banks of the Alpheus, Chariot races, and combats of athletae. The dramatic art occupies nearly all his thoughts. He invokes the shades of Eschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The first advantage which he proposed to draw from a representation of the chef teceuvres of those great poets will lie what he calls the aban donment of their modern jargon, for the noble and harmonious tongue of their ancestors. That, how ever, will be as diffieult to accomplish as the task of bringing back the market people of the Campo Vac cino to the fine Latinity of Cicero and Virgil. The Duke of WELLINGTON has arrived at his seat at Strathfieldsaye, Hants. The Marine Surveyor-General of India has disec‘ered what promises to be a valuable harbour amongst the Kalagyouk Islands, about SO miles south of Amherst, in which vessels will find a secure shelter during the south west monsoon.—Calcutta Paper.

The Committee will meet to-night at Tom Gaynor's, puke's-court, Bow-street. Several matters of importance are to be discussed, and among them the appointment of the pugilists for the fight between Martin and Dutch Sam on Tuesday next. A new banking arrangement is forming, and is likely to prove of considerable utility, for the purpose of e ff•cting remittances to New South Wales, with which c olony, owing to its rapid improvement, the money transactions are assuming a very important character. The arrangement is between the Rank of Australia, at Sydney, and some of the principal London banking-houses. The inconveniences to which emigrants to New. South Wales have been hitherto subjected in their money-transac tions have been very great, as they have been driven either to the clumsy expedient, attended, too, with much risk, of d rying out sovereigns, or have incumbered themselves with merchandise, the returns on which were necessarily very uncertain. In future, a bill, or letter of credit on Sydney, will be obtained with as much facility as one on Paris, and the settler will be enabled to derive the full ad vantage of his capital immediately on his arrival in the colony. SUPPOSED MURDER AT HADDENHAM. AYLESBURY, OCT. 28.---Yesterday 1 aunton, the now-street officer, arrived. He was sent down specially to aid in the investigations, at the request of the inhabitants of Thame, who have otrered a reward of 501. for the discovery of the murderers. The surgeons who have examined the body of the deceased, have discovered that his death was not caused by apoplexy, but by the injuries he received in the body, the second, third, fourth, fifth, arid sixth ribs having been fractured. The name of the de ceased was - William Edden, or Haydon ; he was nearly seventy years of age; his son drives one of the Oxford stages from Petsworth to London. The deceased was a market-gardener, in Thame ; and it was trees which he had at market on the day he is supposed to have been murdered, and not cheeses, ar, was stated yesterday. The Jury assembled at the Queen's Head, in Haddenham. The first witness examined was William King, of Wilston, in Hertfordshire. On Saturday night, be tween seven and eight o'clock, he was going home, on the Oxford-road, from Thame to Aylesbury, and saw on the road a cart without a horse. The har ness he fauna lying on the ground. Near the cart he observed the body of the deceased, and called to him, but the only answer he received was a cry of " Oh !" Thomas King, son of the former witness, was with his father when the body was found. When his father called out, the man said, " Oh Lord, oh God !" He did not move about as if he was in pain, but stirred his legs. Stephen Plater, a farmer's labourer, of Charsley. On Saturday night, about seven o'clock, was in the West Mead, and heard a cry, which he thought was that of murder. It appeared to come in a direction from Haddenham Wind-mills; he heard the cry only once, and though he listened for some mi nutes afterwards, he herd nothing more; the noise seemed to come from the road, and was a sharp cry. Thomas Buss, a Jolly-pop maker, who described himself as a sugar-boiler--I live in Haddenham ; on Saturday evening last I met the deceased at the 'Using Sun, in Aylesbury, at half-after four o'clock; we drank a glass of gin and water; I will not swear that he was tipsy when we left that house, but he was rather fresh; I then got up into the cart with him ; he had no reins, and said to me, I wish you to go with me, and you can guide my horse ; we came together to the Bugle public-house; we did not get out there; at Castle Dintin, the deceased got down for a necessary purpose; he got down quite well, though his foot slipped a little, but he did not fall ; he then walked on for more than a, mile ; he sat on the front board; the cart was then full of coals; before he got up the cart hung heavy behind, but when he was up it was on a balance; Thomas Walker, the newsman, passed us on the road ; when we came to the cross-road near Haddenham, he said to me, " This is the very spot where the attempt was made to rob me;" it was nearly a twelvemonth since an attempt was made- to rob him on that spot, and I had only left him on that occasion a few mo tnents ; I told him he need not fear; to which he replied that he did not, a►►d I then bade him good night, and we separated; he went off at a full trot; I then returned part of 4 the road, and came to Had denham ; I had gone a little out of may way to ac company him. By a Juror—He did not, when he said an at tempt had been made to rob him, tell me whom he suspected. I had often asked him questions on the subject, bat he would never tell me. I left him soon after six o'clock, at which time he did not com plain of being unwell; all he said was, that he was in some degree afflicted with the rheumatism ; he said nothing about the state of his stomach; I was with him on the night he was attacked before; Mr. Edward Rose was also with us on that occasion; we left him then also at the cross-roads; the de ceased told me on Saturday night that he had been disappointed that day;. that he had brought some trees into Aylesbury market, expecting to take some money, but the gentleman to whom he shewed the trees refused to take them; he did not say, nor did I see what sum he had about him; I saw William Bailey,the horse-dealer,of Caddington, at the Eising Sun, in Aylesbury, and I offered him a ride in the deceased's cart. We left Bailey at the Rising Sun, as he could not ride. At this stage of the proceedings, it being now after seven o'clock, and several witnema remaining un examined, an adjournment till to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, took place. STRONTIAN STRAW HATS. About a twelvemonth ago, or rather better, Sir James Riddell, proprietor of Strontian, an extensive district in Argyllshire, established a manufactory of straw hats, as a means of improving the condition of the peasantry on his estate. Similar establishments have for years flourished in Orkney, where there are at present no less than 2,000 persons engaged in this employment, the produce of which finds a ready market in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Following their example, the worthy Baronet hoped, that with a little outlay and perseverance, by the aided assist ance of experienced persons from the south, he would not only open up a source of profitable occupation for the young people, but introduce amongst them habits of cleanliness, order, and industry, which might be attended with the most beneficial results on their happiness and future prospects. The scheme has already far surpassed the expectations of its be nevolent projector. Managers were provided, the villagers set to work, and orders keep pouring in on the little colony faster than they can be executed. Above fifty females are now happily engaged in pre paring the substratum of gentlemen's silk hats, and plaiting the more ambitious structures of ladies'bon nets. Men are employed to dress and finish the hats, but their number is of course comparatively small, though there is every prospect of the esta blishment being speedily doubled. Each of the girls earns from five to six pounds per annum ; and when there are two or three in a family, or even when there is but one, we need scarcely say how much these earnings tell upon the scanty income of the peasant. A complete moral change has also been introduced into the village. Sir James and his lady insisted mainly on cleanliness, both in and out of doors and as the hand readily obeys what the heart die. tates, the girls soon caught the spirit oT the lesson, and were not enly . neat and tidy thems e lves, but carried the same principle into their father's homes. Dunghills were speedily displaced from their ancient prescriptive station in front of the door, dubs were filled up, light and air were not wholly excluded, besoms were in constant requisition, and in short the huts of Strontian, from being almost literally what Johnson called " murky dens," have become neat habitable abodes, almost rivalling the cottages of Goldsmith's beloved Abburn. The male po pulation of Strontian are thiefly ernploYed 111 i cultivating some l ea d m i nes which abound n the country, a nd th e introduction of suc h habits into the families of these men must be an incalculable blessing. Mr. Southey reckons that s lis fr o d m e P t e h n e d e P n a t Par liamentary Wesley did more good among the colliers of Newcastle than in any other scene of his spiritual which are exertions; and perhaps philanthropy could not find a more favourable location than amidst the homes and families of miners._ But the attention . of the p ro _ prietor of Strontian has not been confined to the , co o m vo kir c t h s ur o c f he l temporal Through lianaentary grant, have been erected in the district, now up, will in a few weeks be filled with the noisy and three of the Assembly's Schools, ~ younkers" of the glen. These are substantial blessings—facts which speak for themselves. Nor is there in the above sketch the slightest tinge of h w is an ex ts ertl n o d us ex aggeration. Intelligent strangers passing through 1 this lonely and rugged district, describe the scene as one infinitely more pleasing and gratifying than even the lakes and mountains they had travelled so far to visit.--Grecncek Advertiser. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. We have elsewhere inserted an extract from the Supplement to Me Prussian States Gazette, which, if genuine, goes to settle the question of the fall cr no fall of Varna., It is almost verbatim the sreacie ac count as that published yesterday from the burgh Papers; and again we say that no rnruerial have yet reached England on which to ground a fai suspicion against the truth of the intelligence. A decently conducted Evening Paper—but one which, from an unl uc k y taste f or ar bi tr ating on all sorts of " prop ieties," and for lecturing the company instead of conver ,,. !ng with - them, reminds its of a pedagogue out of school hours—has thought fit to distort the obvious meaning of a passage in our leading article of yesterday, relative, to the fall of Varna. The fortress, bee Globe assumes us to have said or inferred, that the German Papers ought to be believed, when they stated Papers dthe had, in fm surrender of former rinstances, assuredartb,t m falsely, of facts which would have been irreconciie able with the surrender. Then conies a prim sort of argue - lent about the expediency of exercising ad ditional caution in one case, from having been de ceived in another. Mighty correct, no doubt, though rather stale, as a general maxim ; but in ire application to our reasoning, or insinuation against it, very particularly pert and childish. The obser vation of the Times went plainly to this—that if the retreat of the whole Russian army from Slitimla to Bazardjik (as asserted in the German papers) had been true, the intelligence of the fall of Varna (communicated by the Supplements of, the Ham burgh papers) would have Leen hardly credible ; ht:t that the news of such retreat having already turned out to be fale, the • inconsistency of the facts was thereby removed, and the surrender of Varna net longer in itself an event unworthy of credit : this, moreover, without any specific reference to the char nel through which the information had been received, but to the already ascertained progress of the be sieging army from other sources. We repeat that: there does not yet appear any substantial reason for rejecting the intelligence, although it unquestionably calls for confirmation.—lmes. A singular circumstance is mentioned in our ar ticle from the City, which is, that without any sus picion of the general solvency of the chief concern, a run has taken place against a branch of the Bank of Ireland, established at Wexford, because .the manager of the provincial establishment is a Bruns wicker, an anti-Cathelic. Thus it is that this fatal question of emancipation, which imbitters all the relations of social life, opposes itself to the extension of trade, and the improvement of commerce. It thought that the example will be followed against other branch banks. This, no doubt, is an act per formed by the Catholics, and the friends of Cathc lies ; but is it an unprovoked act? Would it were! It might in that ease be speedily redressed. The Brunswickers may, perhaps, tfaie the vengeance into their own hands, and proceed to aggrc6- sions. Thus provocation follows provocaiien : till the end comes.—lbid. Among the many voluminous documents, printed in the well-known shape of blue books, by order of the House of Commons, we have seldom if eves seen one of deeper interest, or more idnquestionable value, than that on the " American Tariff's," com prising an active correspondence between the Foreigr Ministers of thin country and her Ambassadors it the United States, as likewise-an immense body ef official papers published in the United States them selves, on the important subject of the fiscal policy proposed to Congress early in the year 1824, and after various modifications adopted by that body. We shall return hereafter to the relations established between Great Britain and the United States by the system of tariffs in the latter, and of restrictions' on the trade with her colonies by the former Power, only quoting at present one short sentence from an able letter of Mr. H. U. Addington to Mr. Can ning, bearing date May 30, 1824, wherein he ac counts for the tariff policy of America in the follow ing terms, which we trust will not be wholly over looked 'by the landed oligarchy of England :—" I have only to add, that had no restrictions on the int portation of foreign grain existed in Europe gene rally, and especially in Great Britain, I have little doubt that the tariff would never hare j)iiised through either House of Congress, since the great agricultural states; and Pensylvania especially, the main mover of the question, woulel.have been indif ferent, if not opposed, to its enactment." .Upon this official assurance from a British Minister on the spot, we leave his Grace who rules the Treasury to chew the cud for a little.—Aid. The Duke of Wellington, as a Commander, was celebrated for confidence in his own judgment; for it is now understood that his plans were seldom cam municated even to those who were most intimate with him, till the moment of execution. It would appear that he carries with him the same closeness into civil affairs; for we are inclined to believe that all that has yet been advanced with regard to his in tentions, amounts at most to guess. The present posture of affairs leaves abundant room for guessing, and where men are left to guess, we are not to be surprised that different constitutions of mind should lead to different anticipations. There are some who are always seeing finesse in every thing, that will have it the Duke is at the bottom of the Brunswick Clubs, that he may hare a justification in the joint clamour of the Ultra Tories and the rabble, for re fusing to acoede to the demands of the Catho lics.. Others again will have it, that though he has no t . openly countenanced the Brunswick Clubs, he has had some hand i n di rec tly i n the or igination of them, not w i t h t h e v i ew o f finding in them a justification f or re f us i ng to enter on the settlement of th e Catholic Question, but in order to awe the C at h o li cs, t h at w h en t h e y see the - array of bigotry in England, they may be more ready to come into his views. That the display of Orange feeling in England may be serviceable to the Duke of Wellington in this last respect, we. are disposed to believe; for though he himself may entertain the most profound contempt for the actors in this harlequinade, and may estimate their power at its proper value, the calculating portion of the Catholics might apprehend that, however contemp tible the Brunswickers may be in themselves, and so long as the Duke trims as it were between the silence which ee two parties, yet, were he to throw the wei g ht of Government influence into one of the scales, the union would become form idable. But we are rather ' disposed to conclude that the display of Brunswick or Cumberland, or Oran g e feelin g , is the natura l re sult of the suspe nse in which all parties are kept with respect to his Grace's intentions, th an t h at i t has be may mayave ha i v t e s caus e been preSCribed to him by an au th or i ty h e i s not at h a er ty to neglect, and the wish t o ascerta i n h ow f ar t h e Catholics can, consistently with theirreligion, as ex pounded by the recog n i se d aut h or i t i es , ta k e such' o aths, and comply with such arrangements as he may deem indi s Pens) • bl e from the circumstances en anticipatedina nature by thenre h o i f m t H terms is l above mentioned. That the Duke - of W e ingtou must be anxious, above all things, to have this ques tion settled in . such a manner as shall make one people of the inhabitants of the three kingdoms, is what in charity we are bound to believe. No man knows better than himself the danger of the situation in which we are at present placed. He is riot the 'dupe of the silly vapouring of the Irish Orangemen ; and is fully aware that if the Irish, who now enter tain no hope which does not repose on the permanence of their connexion with thi s cowl. try, should be driven ill treatment to listen to the suggestions of passion, tiv.y might succeed in establishing their independence. if /rebind were a separate kingdom, with a separate Legislature, we have no doubt (and this opinion we hue more than once advanp, d) ) that matters would go on more advantageously for both islands, and that : h e intercourse between them would be as great as ~d ; present, without requiring. any e xrence for its maintenance; but then this is not the opinion gene rally entertained by any great class in Laulann 6 ;.d he resources of England would unquestiouably be !rrialieri in art attempt to reduce Irriand at %%114a.111
