The transfer of a tine estate, and its departure from a family in whom the fief has been long established, is perhaps as melancholy a cir cumstance as daily trausactioas _can furnish. Whetht r.. the converanee-be Private . and Beodie settle the deed s , or R o bin s with private,. hammer sanctify the transfer, yet a shade of regret will involuntalily cloud the brow of either, fit reflec tion that the anci,ent appanage and appurtenance to a family, between which twain a thousand re ciprocalities - have sprung up, and a thousand asociations grown commingled, should pass away with - woods and founts, and pleasant memo ries, in exchange for a heap of dross, and to an utter stranger. The circumstance conveys some thing saddening to the soul, and blighting to the fondness of the heart. The Ampthill estate came into possession of the late Lord Holland in the year 1818. His Lordship —than whom a more venerable Peer sat not in our Parliaments, or shone among the literati of the realm—received it by right of descent, upon decease of the Earl of Ossory, who died in the February of that year, and whose mother, the Lady MaryXitzpatrick was the late Earl's sister. Possessing a mind, which by the fruits it has produced, betokens an intellect well watered and high-cultured, Lord Holland sur rounded himself in the shades of Ampthill with the chief contemporaneous spirits of the day, many of whom, like " burning and shining lights," have --- bee- We; promulgators of great doctrines, and originators of prominent enlighten-- tnents in science. .• • new and noble creed—was Mr. Carlyle. With Among the• Porgies'bf these—the apostle of a him his Lordship was as a " familiar friend," and they two took counsel together. Often have the bowers of Ampthill listened to these " great, good men," when, like Milton's Angel conversing with Adau, they. have engaged themselves in colloquialisms upon the creeds of old philosophies, and the sublimities of a new, which the world has already had published to them in the works of the latter author. True, that as yet, in Mr. Carlyle's works, this einfobliog philosophy ap pears but in fragments, yet are they, neverthe less, the fragments of a high and immortal Orphic hymn, which . we hope he will some day Consolidate into a system. Happy, no doubt, does lie consider himself, that he, the Plato of this Ampthill Academy, was specially blessed in having so philosophic 4 friend grid sage 4s 'Lora Holland, who loved his views, awl was a pl'OsC• lyte to his opinions, and drank deep of that new wisdom, before he was removed fnin the stage and stage-lamps of the present, to live before the spiritual eye, and in the light of that philosophy, among `the starry depths of HeaVen. Of Mr. Carlyle, ourselves know nothing, except that we love him as a fair-haired Absa lom for the virtue of his precepts, and the august beauty of his philosophy. Stating this, party-questions we touch not our W ill i_ ration is solely directed to those broad, lumi nous, and unmistakeable principles which give honour to their advocate, whether Whig or Tory. We love him, because his devotion is as true to the truth, as flaming Is his hatred of the false; because be urges to •he wise in order to be worthy ; because he gives proof of a wide, and above all, of a deep soul, which is filled with de he looks upon man as tt. mat and venerable voutest awe and faithfullest love; an d b ecause being, who, amid alt his nakedness, ignorances, and errors, is divine, affecting, and highly to be reverenced. As regards political divisions, though Mr. Carlyle's heart is too large to permit of a cramp ing by these, yet upon one chord of the eithara we would harp. Mr. Carlyle has distate towards Radicalism, because it is, in his judgment, want ing in reverence. But. wanting in reverence to what? Why, to the ordinary, objects of Con servative worship—conservation of the institu tions, laws, and customs, which a petty portion of earth called England —a speck on the convex If the two grand hemispheres of our planet—has by the frail judgments of successive generations of its island-men, gradually made for its social governance :—laws and institutions, which were created to suit the peculiar exigence of a past .thrg;4;l!w•e . . _ now-aklays, .14 none than a worn-out blanket towards keeping the great limbs of our MARRIAGE.

No, indeed, Radicalism has but little reverence for these; her reverence is reserved fbr a higher objects, her veneration nits no such bleared and contracted eyesight ; the scales have dropped from her eyes Opening a .nore heavenward orb, she sees that the islands, and nations, and people, are governed by free, vast, and general laws, which like those of the Medes and Persians, " altq not, neither are changed," and that these alone can in the end be t)romotive of man's welfare, and ultimately be of 'benefit to his race. All contrary theories are cramp, and devoid of the true grandeur. But to return to A.mpthill. Philosophy, which had so Attic a seat in its recesses and groves, quitted it, perchance not to return, upon the de mise of his _Lordship. A few ays after his death, and when the funeral had been concluded, we visited, 111 conjunction with a friend, this late retreat of the Muses, which now owns a new pos sessor, the Duke of •Bedford ; and the char.74B of the place,' wen de mst en c t o r it na fe c s e s, t . t • quarter, which admits, from the - town. The lodge at this entrance attraeted our attention much. It was represented to us by the keeper is that in which Sir Philip Sydney—peerless and 2hivalrie knight—is reported to have. composed part of his, delicious "Arcadia." Pomfret, also, who was born at Luton, is said to have written many of his poems on this revered spot. At Syd ney's name we kissed the ground as holy. The whole estate is situated in Redbourne, Stoke Hundred, and is about a quarter of a mile from the east end of the market town, occupying a beautiful valley. The Earl of Ossory, when he came into possession many years back, in vested it with alterations of a classical taste. In his time the house did not appear as it. now does, cased with a composition resembling stone, hav ing treillage on the basement story, but was a uniform plain red brick. On entering you make your ascent by a flight of two steps, and over the door a bust meets your view. A large figure of the celebrated dog of Alcibiades stands on a.pedestal in front of the house. As you pass through the various apartments you cannot fiat being struck with their splendour and finish. They contain many fine pictures and I ancient marbles, besides a Library and Cabinet of I Natural History.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the alidition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the ; regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effect- sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the' authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves exi elusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whet sin affections of the lun g s, putting on all the outer appearances of consum ption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully pts,ves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is us member of society by eltom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in cense qiience of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con- . sumption, will, oa perusing this work, he astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing . this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools,' whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide hint through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when c d h el a i r e g a e e s y , o v, f .h he t e a t l h t e h r e s h al o u e a l d u s a e p s p e e a f r i u t o e h attack k a m n a y y o b f e, h a i i s nl yo t u h l u ig s he T w h i e ll C be L e E n ß ab G le y d il to tA ch N e , e i k e th w e ho e s v e il s i a n er i( e s d i c n i c a ip r i a e c i t it er is state a . t once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the d s estrous consequences which aro sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

AN AGED VOTER IN THE LIBERAL CAUSE. —At the late election, Mr. George Wharton, of LaVerton, near Kirkby Malzeard, aged 110 years, attended at Pateley-bridge, to record his vote in favour of Lords Alorpet It and Milton. In their Lordships' Committee-room, this venerable Reformer, to the no little surprise of all present, read small print without glasses, and when presented with a card in writing►, directing him where he should find some refreshment provided for him, he read it also without glasses, and observed, "-This will do." At the election in 1835, he walked. from the same place, which is about seven miles, to record his vote in favour of the Übe.. ral candidates.—Leeds Mercury. ~2~ 'n fr • , 1‘ ( I ". tt '!" . ,Trr• zr • the ( ft 8' 111011 - • . .

(From the Times,) We are not an imaginative people, though we an sometimes led away by fashion or the force of example and therefore we require always that some proof that Ills pretensions of any man to any especial art or seiene. should be set forth before proper and competent judge t. and examined-by them before we admit his claims. But. on the other hand, the moment some person of suppose; knowledge of the subject affixes his imprimatur, we rtn into the opposite extreme. We will allow no cavil, 1., question, no argument upon the person's abilities. NV, could illustrate this proposition by a reference to Dr. Lard ner's profound opinion that steamers could not cross tla Atlantic ; or to the idea that prevailed previous to the establishment of railroads, of a physical impediment t, the traction of the wheels upon the rails, which led to the patent of Mr. Blenkinsop for overcoming this supposed difficulty. Those wlio travel on railroads or in steam vessels at the presen t day are apt to wonder how any doubt of the kind could have existed ; but that they did exist we can adduce,irrefragible proofs. Let us therefore nos examine into the facts of animal magnetism or mesme rism, without any reference to theory, or any appeal ti reason: Certain effects are produced on certain indivi duals, by persons possessing a power little short of tin miraculous. Of this fact there can be no doubt—nay, the effects are admitted, but they are ascribed to fir agina tion, to sympathy, to nervous afTection, or to some other cause, which leaves the solution exactly where the in quiry commenced. Entering the field neither as a par tisan nor an adversary, we are only desirous of eliciting the truth. Either animal magnetism is, or is not, ao imposition. If it be an imposition, let us scout its pro fessors from our shores ; if not, let us calmly and dis passionately examine into their merits. A few remarks, therefore, upon the earlier history of the science, sill enable us to come to.a more decided opinion as to whe ther the inquiry is worth the time that. it must,-itces.-: sarily cost. • iNlesmer, a native of Switzerland, from whose cogno ' men the science has been named, was the first person ix Europe who attracted attention by the practice of the art. His exhibitions, however, were attended with a great deal of mummery, Is ith the playing of musi , —i instruments, fron a 1 at I wooden the manipulation of iron issuing circular bus ti"''" spindle :. admitted round it about 50 patients, and each patient was connected to his neighb our by a cord, while, to render the chain of communicatierr It complete, the one pinched the other's themb, 'This new science produced so unfelt 40 1 1R4t1011 in Paris, that the Government ap pointed a Commission to inquire into its merits, at the lien.! of which was the, celebrated B en j am i n F ranklin. The report was unftVoUrable to the pretensions of the new scienef., - 'out it is worthy of remark, that Mesmer' himself never came in contact with the Commissioners. lie refused tdl ox - in the principle s by w hi c h he op ratAl tait one of his pupils, Deslon, undertook to explain everything, but, as we have:said, not to the satisfaction of the Commission. Nevertheless, they admit that 5 out of 14 sick pasons experienced, some effbets from the operation, but attribute these Offwts to theinfluence of imagination. But ; 4.4 We can only judge from ell4ts, and allowing that mesmerism works only through the medium of . the imagination, still are not the principles which govern so tremendous an agency worthy of being inquired into ? Any objections urged either from analogy,. from reason, or from experience, can scarcely be entertained.. At first sight, who would suppose that the combination of certain plates of metal immersed in diluted acid would produce the extraordinary effects which we can see daily demonstrated either by the electro-galvanic battery or the voltaic pile ? Or that the union and combustion of two gases should produce so great a heat as to consume iron, and reduce the diamond to its primitive elements ? Or that Hall's hydraulic machine should overcome the • laws of gravitation, and raise water in spite of its phy sical properti e .4, simply by rapidity of motion ? Or that the 'violet ray of the prism should magnetize iron ? Yet these are facts which no one ventures to ques tion,' because they are daily demonstrated.. Or shall we make any allusion to the daguerrotype, the elec trotype, and the wonderful powers of steam, with its strange faculty of electricity ? Why, therefore, with out inquiry, should we refuse to an individual the credit of possessing latent powers, which are not common to all our race ?. All fish have not the property of the gyinno tus—yet who doubts the power of the eel in the Adelaide Gallery to produce 'electrical phenomena ? We could multiply cases of extraordinary qualities possessed not . only by animals but by men ? Does any omie doubt the venom of the rattle-snake, of the copro de capella, or of that horrid reptile common near the mines of Choco, South America, whose bite is instantaneous and fright ful dissolution, when the body swells, and the whole frame in a few seconds is decomposed, and becomes a fluid mass of loathsome corruption ? Or does any man question the extraordinary faculty which that pensioned at the Mauritius by the• British Government, possesses of seeing vessels some hundred miles at sea? Or the fact of the Brahmin who could sit ce z air ; Indlail who eca?fit bury himself forifithitith, am witnessed by Lieutenant Boileau, and then resuscitate himself ; or of the case of Colonel Townsend, noticed by Cheyne, who could voluntarily expire and again return to life ? TI power of the hazel twig in the hands of cer tain per.;o - is to point out the source of springs was long; treated as fictitous ; but in the 22d volume of the Quar terly Review there is a well authenticated case of Lady N.'s exhibiting this power in the presence of Dr. Hutt, ai and others, in afield near the new college at Woolwich. and subsequently at other places. THE CENSUS FOR PAISLEY. The result of the census for the limn, as taken unf wr the new statute for that purpose, like every other dr ., eument that can be brought forward regarding the C ur of tills important manufacturing district, kr e ' r. ,en ts in d isputable evidence of the resources and co: atition of die people being greatly on the From that portion bou of the being Abbey parish • beyond the parliamenta r y the enumerationdary n --( nr struck off fr o m the t own i n 7, of the inhabitants, an apparent de crease of ..,early ten thousand inhabitants will this y e ar' appear in the census of Paisley, and in place ranking as a town with nearly 60,000 inhabit ants, the returns exhibit, as nearly as possible, a popula tion of 49,000. There being a real increase on that poi.- don of the town comprised in the present return, cf 2,203 persons, over the census of 1831. This is, how ever, nothing to what it should have been had the mono polist restrictions on foreign trade not been operating against the improvements in science and art, and the in creased mineral resources of the district, which have been brought into operation during the last ten years. . What, however, presents a more appalling proof of the declining state of our population than the small increase of the inhabitants, is'the striking fact that the additional po pulation of 2,203 persons are huddled into less house-room considerably, than was occupied by the more limited popu lation in 1831. In the census of 1831, the total number of uninhabited houses in the four Paisley parishes, includ ing the town of Johnstone, was 527. In the census for 1841, the number of uninhabited houses in the town of Paisley amounts to 671, and as every person acquainted with the town is fully aware, that during the last ten years, when we take into consderation the total stoppage that has taken place in the erection of tradesmen's houses, the small tradesmen's houses replaced by liner buildings, and occupied by fewer families, we are short considerably of the former number of dwellings occupied ; while, at the same time, upwards of two thousand are accommo dated in these same dwellings, by two or three families being now bundled up in one apartment, whereas every family formerly occupied a house for themselves. This is one of the most important proofs that can be adduced or the evil influence of the Corn-laws on our manufac tures and the consequent increase in th e p over ty o f t h e people. The only other statement in the census we conceive worthy of notice, is a fact which is very apt indeed to throw a damp over the prospects of the fair sex. We allude to the excess of females over mules in the gross population, which will be found amounting to 3,932. This excess of our female population is considerably in creased by the number of heads of families, and young men alp, who have lately emigrated to America, and taking this into view, we beg of our fair readers of the present day not by any means to despond on account of the excess of their number. Their prospects are even better than those of their predecessors ten years ago ; for in the census for that period we find, that in the four Paisley parishes the excess of female's over males amounted to 4,422, leaving a comparative increase in the male population at this time, (notwithstanding the un favourable circumstances of die existinr , depression) and emigration to th e amoun t o f 490 indivtiduals.—ReAfrew shire Reformer. . I - /"C' PRICE 5d ~' ~'_ EN 7 EN ENING sun DRUR Y- LA NE THEATRE, CONCERTS D'ETE. The Concerts d'Ete commenced at this iheatrc last evening upon the same splendid and magnificent scale last season, both with.regard to the orchestral arrange ments and to the decoration s . The stage is, fitted up tui a saloon, in a most gorgeous yet chaste and tasteful style, adorned with mirrors, statues,. fountains, and flowers. The effect produced by the statue of Eve on the fountain is one of the most beautiful we ever beheld. • The Eve is an exact copy from Bailysexquisit e statue ; ; She reclines on a mossy bank in the midst of a parterre of flowers, and is gazing into the fountain which occupies • ' - the foreground. The light, which is thrown on this • tableau from above, produces the softest effect that ca , ; be imagined, which heightens the whole, being see!' through an enormous sheet of plate glass.. The promen ade is also surrounded by flowers. The orchestra, which is under the able direction of M. Jullien, is on.th same 'effective scale as it ever has been at this theuti and among the solo performers we recognif.ed alt tl.- old favOurites of last season. Several aspirants ftnv public favour are, it appears, also engaged among them. Mons. Jancourt, from the Opera Comique at limit, moon- his first appearance before an English audience in a solo on the bassoon ; he made that usually grc: and growling instrument discourse most excelle;.7 mush, and was loudly applauded. Among the new pieces plerformed was a quadrille by Jullien, and a grand fantasia from La &I am ., bulu, arranged by Mr. W. Childe. This lust, which includes all the gems of that most delightful opera, was most effective. Mons. Dantonet have the beautiful air Vi ravisc," on the alto-trombune, with exquisite taste and pathos ; indeed, until we heard Mons.

Translated from "The Book of a Hundred Strange Anec dotes," printed in Turkish a few months ago, and then totally suppressed by a superior order.) I In a country of Asia there once lived a, celebrate d beikli. Ile resided in the turbe (mausoleum) of a t, .hose origin no one knew, bht who was universally pro , .ounced to have been a most holy man, a pattern of virtues, The thousands of visitors who ar nally locked to the turbo left their offerings in abundance. One mought olive oil, to feed the lamp which night and da bed its lust re over t h e resplendent tomb of the saint-: another a fatted calf ; a third poultry ; rnd a fourth sheep for his own consumption. Thus the sheikh was relieved e'rom the necessity of earthly anxieties, and had full leisure to devote himself to the laudable and all-absorbing con templation of futurity. his fame increased daily, and the young dervish, who succeeded in becoming his ser ant and disciple, esteemed himself most happy ; he par ieipated to a certain extent in the glories and good living of his master, and on the strength of having served co aninent a sheikh, he, after a while, went forth into the .coral, and set up for his own account with complete cer tainty of success. It so happened that one of the disciples of the sheikh, who was a lazy and stupid fellow, had remained at the :.nrbe for ten long years, without having once shown the slightest inclination to make way for others. The elicit:li, therefore, one day called him, and putting into his hand the halter of an ass, he thus addressed him :—" You eau earn nothing more here, my son, go and travel. Mount die ass , and may Allah an d t h e prophet guide you, yodel' ossoon (bon voyag6)." The disciple most respectfully kissed the hand of the holy man, and taking hold of the halter, he, without uttering a syllable, led forth his ass, with the intention of mounting it as soon as he was eli49- ^' of the premi ses , b ut f a il ed not, ere he had froy steps, to perceive th at t h e an i mal was dead o • w(uk that to mount hi m was out . ,. i sc . d ies', mid "-SU therefore renounced all hupo."''t that, cut q a thick uestion sti : ire uck from the first hedge, far ass in the most commenced urging on his he contini"'" r ersuasive manlier possible. Thus ~:u his jou r n e y f or a f ortn i ght and • . have gone on still further, but the days of the ass were numbered ; the animal, worn. out, fell flown by the road-side,. and died. The dervish began to think what he had best do. "If I leave the dead ass here, the flesh will soon become corrupt, and I, being a stranger, am sure to be ill-treated, perhaps bastinadoed and put in prison, loaded with chains." Ile therefore determined on burying his ass just where it had fallen ; this done he heaped the earth over the grave in the usual orthodox way, and, greatly fatigued with his labour, sat down near the grave, lamenting over the cheerlessness of his prospects. Whilst thus occupied he observed a number of men coining over the plain ; they were well dressed, mounted on beautiful horses, richly housed, and their attention was attracted to the dervish seated at the head of a fresh made grave. One of them' remarked, "There must have been two der vishes ; one of them having died on the road has been buried by his surviving companion." To this they had so completely made up their minds, that without . a s kilv any needless quest i ons, they respectfully .approached the traveller and said, " God give you health ; we see you have lost your brother, but let your grief cease ; we are, thank God, pious people here ; we will build a turl6 over his sweet-smelling ashes ; you also shall be cared for, therefore give -not a thought for the future." The. dervish saw it would not be for his interest to undeceive dim ; lie consequently remarked that it was indeed hard to lose a companion with whom he had passed so many years, and who had never, during the whole 'course of their acquaintance, uttered an offensive word, or an untruth, whilst he aas a real pattern of patience ; but that when he saw honour prepared for his remains it was indeed consolation of the right sort—he was rejoiced. In a word, a splendid turbo was speedily built, a lamp burnt constantly over the tomb, the dervish was installed as sheikh, the faithful crowded in from all quarters to visit the tomb of the new saint, and, in the course of time, the mausoleum became the most celebrated in all Asia. The reputation of the sheikh was unrivalled. It was deemed scarcely a miracle if wonders were worked over the remains of so holy a saint. The old sheikh, the iiruier master of the new one, at last perceived that his glory was eclipsed, and he determined on paying a visit to his successful rival, with a view of acquiring a little (it' that real knowledge, of NI, Lich he felt be stood so much in need. The journey was long, but he performed it with pleasure, and, on entering the turbe, what was his sur prise, on perceiving that the shiekh, whose renown was so great , was neither more nor l ess t h an h i s old servant, whom he had discarded many years before for incorri gible stupidity I The other also knew him, but neither gave signs of recognition, and the new sheikh began to hope that his former master's memory was not so good as his own. The sheikh because the musofir, or 'guest of the oth er ; an d severa l d ays having passed, one • evening, when they were quite alone, he asked big (Hind= disciple to relate to hint by what wonde'-",1 tura o fortune lie had acquired such reputatioe.

The Naval and Military Ga zette observes, " This work will afford unusual gratifica tion to the particular class of readers to which it ad dresses itself; on aeccunt of the singr'ar natt—e of the story, the truth of the leading events related in it, and the number of real characters (some of them living), who are incidentally introduced into the narrative. The story is founded on that extraordinary nod well-known passage in the life of the celebrated 'gentleman' swindler, James Hatfield, his marriage with the no less celebrated 'Beauty of Buttermere ;' and the scene is laid, for the most part, in those beautiful localities which have been made classical by the residence and the writings of some of our greatest poets—Wordsworth, Southey, and Cole ridge. The bold attempt, too, of the writer, to embody in his narrative, and even cornea with his singularly assorted hero and heroine, those three distinguished men in their private and personal characters, will, no doubt, greatly add to the curiosity excited by this work." VALUABLE COW.—A Lancashire agriculturist, near Manchester, in a letter to the editor of the Marh lane Express, says :—" I have a cow in my stock which has had about five calves, two of which she has dropped since she came into my possession. She is now giving not less than twenty-six quarts of milk daily ; and this appearing of a superior richness, induced me to try what weight of butter her milk for seven days would yield. The trial was completed yesterday, and the butter weighed 221 b. 34. ounces. 'We make up our butter into • printed lumps of Boz. each ; and to the half-pound weight a halfpenny of the new coinage is added. I had a cow ten years ago, which gave 201 b. Goz. in the week. Do you think the prize dairy cow at the Liverpool meeting will have such solid pretensions to distinction as either of these animals ?" THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AND THE Parss.—The conduct of those who govern the pro ceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society towards the Press of this town has elicited loud complaints and strung censure from some of our Contemporaries. For our own part, as our paper would not appear until after the ter mination of the proceedings, which would allow us an opportunity of culling such infbrmation as we required from the columns of our fellow-journalists, we did not feel ourselves under the immediate necessity of taking any steps for the purpose Of reviewing the events as they oc curred. It appears, however, that the executive of the Association have treated those to whom the general public naturally look filr correct information tout:bing passing occurrences in a manner at once repulsive and annoying. We may safely say, that in no place in the kingdom are the histories of current proceedings stiou, snore faithfully and, wh e r e p ar t y i s out of theg impartially recorded than in Liverpool. Preparations were made and pains were taken to lay before the world descriptions and reports of all that could be gathered touching - an event which those who promoted it are proud of calling national.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUNISTAXCEe•-•At the Chichester County Bench, on the 10th inst., Mr. Green.

The names the prisoners gl" .0 %i - ere Henry Parker and Richard Johnson ; their o. ..wawa, they said, was porCectly correct, with the ex ception of their names, which' were fictitious. The Ma gistratim, after -cimsulting together, determined on re« baauding them till the' following Sattudav, Parker earnestly and respectfully implored the Bench to cennuit them at once for the offence, " for," said he, " i we are set at liberty we shall be compelled to commit some other offence to insure our being sent out of the country." On Saturday last the prisoners were twain brought up, when the evidence was gone fully into, and they were committed to Lewes to take their trial at the nett Assizes. TWEED SALMON Ft sits NG.—There has been a very' grt.::t improvement in the salmon fishing in Tweed within the last few weeks, but particularly within the last four or five days. The season, on the whole, has been above an average, but the take dr-ing the present week (so far as regards almost all the waters below the Union Bridge) has considerably exceetZed the take of the same number of successive days for many years past. We can only mention a few of the takes at the different fisheries, remarking that all the other lower fisheries hare improved nearly in equal proportions. In Wednesday morning's tide, Yarrow fishing had 40 salmon, 161 gilse, and 23 trout ; the Pool, 49 salmon, 200 gilse, and 27 trout ; English New Water, 30 salmon, and 150 gilse. In yesterday morning's tide, South Bells had 40 salmon and 200 gilse ; Ethermouth 27 salmon and 150. gilse ; and several other waters were equally successful. The fisheries above the Union Bridge have also greatly im proved (especially yesterday), but not to so great an ex tent as the lower waters. The number of fish in the Company's fish house on Wednesday was not less than 5,000. / The retail prices to-day were—SalmOn, 9.1. ; Gilse, ; Trout and Whiffing., 41&—Berwick Ad- Veriiser. On Friday last, Sheriff Henderson held a Small th•bt Court, in the Guildhall here, when he disposed of upwards of a h un d re d cases w hi c h came before him, one of which caused considerable excitement—Mr. John loss, preacher to the Christian Chartist Congregation, having summoned John Daniel, publisherand proprietor of the Arbroath Journal, for the sum of el. Gs. Bd, for a libellous paragraph which appeared upon hint in that journal on the 111th of July. The complaint was grounded on the law of libel, contained in the Gth stud 7th William IV., chap. 76, sec. 9. The defender having failed to appear, th e Sh er i ff, after considering the case, decided in favour of the pursuer, and said his non-appearance was a sufficient evidence of his guilt, even though there was nothing more, and awarded the full amount, with costs, and granted a decreet for the same.---Dumfre Chronic/e. 7,1 , • -, by the ' T____ ............... _ HE FAST DAY —Yesterday was the day ap pointedG. enema Assembly to be observed as a Fast Dav---1 Ctrl the terms in which the _reasons were couched" to be the half-yearly and troubi , but reallv and truly fin- the hinderances e. experienced . by the I N'on-Intrusiontsts from the Government on ono side and still wore from Tories, tow n, the day Moderates., and Voluntaries, on the other. liappenin , church and the secession and relict' c ongregations in this sacritnentat fast both of the parish b t r y e a t t h ed e was of course universally and reverently observed by the inhabitants.

One of the statutes of it is curious, and shows the high opinion he entertained of the influence of' the female sex upon the virtue and happiness of mankind. According to -this statute, the knights arc obliged to pay due respect to the Wins, both married and unmarried, and never to suffix any thing derogatory to their • reputation to be said in their presence. " For," adds the statute, " those that speak of women have very little honour, and, to their dis grace be it mentioned, say of that sex, which cannot. re venge itself, what they would not dare to say of a num ; for from women, after God, arises a great part of the honour that there is in the world." The Poll-book, which Is just published, is so far gratifNing that it does much to dissipate the feeling of something like despondency entertained by many Reformers respecting the next municipal election. Frwa the analysis at the end of it, we find, that, of the electors who voted as householders at the late election, 3,936 voted for Sir Joshua Waluisley, and only 3,875 for Lora Sandon, leaving a majority of householders for Sir Joshua of 61. In the 'different wards Sir Joshua majority of householders in seven, while he was exactly equal to Lord Sandon in two, within one of hi m in another, and within three in a fourth. So that therk are only five wards in which the Tories had a decide, majority of that class of electors who alone have vote d t i t account of the, •aar ha l ti o .th f municipal elections.
