NAVY-OFFICE, August 8, 1820. THE Right Honourable . the LORDS' COM, MISSIONERS of his MAJESTY's TREASURY having appointed Money for the Payment of HALF-PAY to SEA OFFICERS, from the Ist of April to the 30th of June, IS2O, according to his Majesty's Establishment in that behalf : These are to give notice, that the several Payments.will be gin to be wade at the Pay-Ottice, by the Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy, at Ten &Cluck in the morning, on the fol lowing days, viz.

Where Officers are Abroad on leave, their Agents are to produce attested Copies of such Leave before the Half-Pay can be paid. And as by Act of Parliament passed in the 35th year of his present Majesty's Reign, entituled, " An Act for establish ing a more easy and expeditious method for the Payment of Officers belonging to his Majesty's Navy," it is enacted by the 20th Clause of the said Act, " that if any Commissioned or Warrant Naval Officer, who shall be entitled to receive Half-Pay, and shall be desirous to receive and be paid the sante, at or near the place of his Residence, he may apply to the Treasurer of his Majeity's Nary in London, to have such Half-Pay paid at or near the place of his Residence, Sm. in the manner pointed out by the said Act." And by a fur titer Act passed in the 56th year of his present 'Majesty's Reign, entituled, " An Act fur enabling the Officers in his Majesty's Navy, and their Representatives, to draw for and receive their Half-Pay," it is enacted by the Ist and 3a Clauses of the said Act, " that if any Officer in his ;I , lajesty's Nary, who shall be entitled to receive any sum of money for, oron account of his Half-Pay, .shall be desirous of drawing a Bill of Exchange for the same upon the Commissioners of his Majesty's Nary, instead of receiving the same by Remittance Bill, he shall signify such desire by Letter to the Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy; and that if any Officer i n hi s Ma jesty's Navy, who shall be entitled to receive any sum of mo ney for or on account of Half-Pay, shall be desirous of having his Half-Pay paid. to him by Ext r act, at an y of his Majesty's Dock Yards, where Clerics for the Payment of Wages.for the Navy shall reside, instead of receiving the same by Remit tance Bill or Bill of Exchange, he is to apply either to the proper Clerk-at the Navy Pay-Office in London, or at the Pay-Office at . such Dock 'Yard, signifying such his desire."

We have declared our intention to avoid all animadversions respecting THE QUEEN that can tend to prejudge her case, but we feel it to be a duty to our Readers to submit the opinions of the Provincial Editors upon this and all other subjects of interest to the Country. The fol lowing brief but pithy and just observations are taken from The Birmingham Commercial Herald of the sth inst. a Paper long distinguished for sound principles, firm loyalty, and general intel ligence. ," The public mind becomes every day more anxious, upon- the business of the Queen. Ad dresses from various parts of the country have been presented to her, the general language of which is of a most violent description, and we are truly sorry to see that her answers partake much of the same character. Without prejudg ing the question we must say that the vindictive bitterness of her reproaches' against the movers of the measure, impairs the true character of an accused, but supposed innocent, person; the lan guage she uses is little short of a direct libel upon the Constitution of the land ; she prejudges her self when she says she shall not have a fair trial, hi case the - Bill passes the two Houses. There is not to be found in ,the whole world a more ho nourable and dignified tribunal than that before which she will be tried ; open and fair will be the whole of the proceedings ; what time or mo ney she may want for her defence is most libe rally granted; her agent is now abroad, with. blank passports for whomsoever lie may think Proper to summon ; so that nothing- which she can now require is refused. Under these circum stances, that her advisers should recommend answers so violent, so injurious to herself, appears most astonishing. We shall be glad, when her Solicitor and Attorney-General will be enabled to give their constitutional advice. In the mean time, giving the utmost credit to the intentions of thoio who are so anxious to promote addresses, we feel convinced that such pi.oceedings arc in jurious to the unbiassed dispensation of justice, and tend to keep alive those political discussions which every weli-wisher to his country's happi ness has long deplored." LAW INTELLIGENCE. coma OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 9. Before the MAsTER of the Rott.s. JU OC; NI ENT. LORD CIIOLMONDELEY V. LORD CLII;TON'. In this long pending cause his honour gave judgment on Tuesday evening. • After many luminous observations, he said he would not now enter into the equity of the case, but content himself with saying, that he had no objection to allow the party again to apply to- a Court of Law, as he understood it was the in tention to appeal to a:higher tribunal. He was decidedly of opinion, that he ought to decide in favour of the claim of Lord Clinton, since, both and grammati ca lly, th e d ee d wou ld bear no g i o c t a h l er construction: - Barlow's Magnetical Discoveries.--Certain Nfagnetical Discoveries are now in course of trial, for which we are indebted to Mr. Barlow, one of the Mathe matical Professors in the Royal Military Academy, viz. that in every ball or mass of iron, if a plane be conceived to pass from north to south inclining, in these latitudes, at an angle of 191 Q (or the compliment of the dip), and :t compass he pointed any where in this plane, it will not be affected by the iron, but point due north and south the same as if no' iron were in its vicinity. This plane, Mr• B. has every reason to suppose, will change its position with the dip, or latitude, so as to become parallel to the horizon at the pole, and perpen dicular to it at the equator; and it is this fact which Captain Bartholomew is charged to determine, as far as it can be done. in the parts he is about to visit, while Lieut. Parry is supposed to be making cot responding obset rations in Batfila's Bay Mr. Barlow bas also discovered that the magnetic qua lity of iron resides wholly in the surface, so that an iron shell, weighing only 31b. 4 oz. will act as powerfully on the needle as at solid ball of the same d• •nsion weighing upwards of SOO lbs.—and by a judicious application and combination of these two facts, be has projected all extremely easy method of counteracting the local attractio❑ of vessels. Antidote for Vegetable Poisons.—The inva luable properties of the plant fewillea cordifolia which have been brought to light by a continental chemist, claim parti cular notice. M. Drapiez has ascertained, by numerous ex periments, that the fruit of the fewillea cordifolia is a power ful antidote against vegetable poisons. This opinion has been long maintained by naturalists, but we are not aware that it was ever helot e verified by experiments made on purpose is any part of Europe. M. Drapiez poisoned dogs with the riots toxicodendron, hemlock, and uux vomica. All those that were left to the effects of the poison, died, but thjose to whom the fruit of the fewillea cordifolia was administered, recovered completely. after a short illness. To see whether this anti dote would act in the same way, when applied externally to wounds into which vegetable poisons had been introduced, he took two arrows which had been dipped in the juice of mall chenille, and slightly wounded with them twe young cats. — To the one of these he applied a poultice, composed of the fruit of the fewillea cordifolia, while the other was left With out any application. The former suffered no other inconve nience, except from the wound, which speedily healed; while the other, in a short time, fell into convulsions and died. it would appear front these experiments, that the opinion enter tained of the vi-tucs of this fruit in the countries where it is produced is well founded. It would deserve, in consequence, • to be introduced into our pharmacopoeias as an important medicine; but it is necessary to know, that it loses its virtues if kept longer than two years after it has been gathered. Importation into France of the Cachcmire-zeoot Goat.—M. Amadeus Joubert quitted Paris in April ISIS, and proceeded first by Odessa. Tangarock, and Astracan, to the camp of General 3ermololf in Caucasus, gaining information on the way, relative to the object of his journey, from the Bucharians, the Kirghiz, and the Armenians, who frequent Astraean. He was there told, that there existed amongst the numerous hordes of Kirghiz (a unmade tribe residing in Bit tbaria, on the banks of the Oural Lake) a species of goat of a dazzling white, bearing every year is remarkable fleece about the month afJune. The specimens of it which he there col lected, convinced him of the identity of this wool with that which is imported into , France, through Russia. This 'dis covery was the more important to him , as it - promised to save hint the long and ditlicult journey which he would otherwise have had to encounter, in penetrating to Thibet, litroogn Persia and Cachemire. In this .he was not di•ceived; for lto actually. collected scattered samples of this floe wool, at some hundreds of worsts from the Wol4a, amongst the steppes that separate Astiacan from Oremhurg, which satisfied Iwo that lie. needed not to penetrate further. : He had, besides;' observed, that in the language of the country, they gave tlfe name.uf Thiliet-goat to the animal which furnished this fiiie fleece. He therefore bought of the Kirghiz in'this district, from the hordes called Cart-Agadgi and Kaisacks, twelve and..eighty-nine of these animals, and directed his course hornewariN with them, by Tsaritzin, where he brought• them across- the Wolga.- After making all the deductions from this number, occasioned by losses on the road, by the .shipment of them at KahFa, and the passage lioinc, there !tow exist in Frauce four hundred of this stock of -Cacitemire wool goats.. During a short stay which M. Joubert made at Constantinople, in his passage homewards with his goats, le held is crotersat ion, Orringlthe. second interpreter to the French EMbassy, with an Artuenian named libadja.,Yousstil, who Was sent 16 years ago by a house in Constantinople into Cachetuire, to•procure shawls made after Tatterns which he carried with him Tltis Armenian had-resided a long films in Cachentire, Lahore, and Piehavvet;„ and in- lent ruing the language. of these countries, he obtained:touch positive Inf~►r mation as. to the. manufacture of tkese valued articles... He stated to M. Joubert, that the animal which yields this beau tifitl• material is neither a camel. nor a sheep, as souse have reported, but is a goat, resembling the common goal in ap pearance, Wising s►raight horns, - . and a .
