FOR Tllh, SUN. STEAM MACHINERY. 7 ,11 u. Enuroa—llelying on your impartiality and candour, I beg leave again to urge upon the attention of your discerning readers the neces sity of collecting the numerous cases in which the progress of the Steam Engine is daily gaining ground on the manual arts, and the tendency of the unlimited and unrestricted application of machinery to such purposes. Among the recent instances I mention one in actual progress ; it is that of a large Pin-manu factory establishing in Southwark ; the extent of the factory is obvious from the statement of no less than a hundred and twenty windows,besides loop-holes for the admission of light and air, and it is announced, that the said machinery to be worked by steam is calculated to strike at one operation 10,000 pins per minute! In the Borough •of Southwark many thousands of Pinners have .obtained a livelihood in that branch of tnanufac lure ; - great capitalist comes forward, and absouds all the labour and advantage of the re maining few, and they are necessarily exposed to -be starved out of bread, and to become a burden to themselves and society. In such a case, I am aware, is involved the Liberty 'of the subject; and that if any man of pro -perty is disposed to use his capital to his best .advantage, there is no direct law to the contrary; but here, Sir, I will oppose a quxre,—by-yvhat law is the liberty of one subject usurped over :another ? and shall the liberty of the many he sacrificed to the few, and to the rich capitalist ? Certainly the law does not interfere in the case, - -and every subject is at liberty to do what he will with his own, and sometimes at the expence of his neighbour. The introduction of a power :folly operative machinery in the manual arts and trades, is altogether new and unprovided against in the laws of the realm. But does it therefore follow, that it should not be provided against by some well devised and useful regulation. The Legislature can alone be appealed to in such cases, and the question left to be determined by them—Whether, for the sake of an individual good. a public evil shall be sustained ? The question is of a high public interest, and belongs to whole Parishes, especially those oppressed -with a numerous and burtbensome poor ; and, indeed, to all who pay poor-rates. Industrious hands thrown. out of.employ and out of bread by the causes above alluded to, shew therefore the propriety and expediency of some restraining law to prevent, as much as possible, the increase of -national pauperism. But, Mr. Editor, these proprietors will reply, -that they pay their share in the rates, such as it is, and their neighhours are left to pay'the rest; the small and partial moieties of such establish ments are not worth notice ; if they had to sup port those poor they throw out of bread, they would then soon find out the effect of the new .economy. The maintenance of the poor mecha vic at the expence of a Parish, originating from -the caprice of en individual, whose powerful en gines are their destruction, calls for some imme diate redress ; and I heartily wish some able •ftartd would prepare and publish some authentic .and well founded facts, in addition to such as have been already before the public, in order to an impartial and general statement of the present ad prospective influence of the new machinery on the industry, wealth, anti morals of the nation. Sir, your's most respectfully, X. Y. Z. 'LONDON' MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. •The eight Quarterly Meeting of this Institu tion was held last evening in the New Lecture Room, in .Southampton-buildings, and was attended by about six or seven _hundred members. At eight o'clock the Chair was taken by Dr. GILCHRIST,'one of the Vice-Presidents—Dr. BIM/HECK, the . President, being absent from indisposition. After the Minutes of the last Quarterly Meeting had been read and confirmed unanimously, Mr. CHRISTIE, the Secre tary, read the Report of the Committee for the quarter, and' stated the accounts to be as follows : Balance in the Banker's hands at the commence ment of the Quarter Paid into the Bankers Disbursements during. the Quarter, including Sa laries, Rent, and ExpenccB of completing the Theatre 'Balance in Bankers hands Cash in Secretary's hands - £457 9 0 - 566 16 1 1,024 5 1 841 3 0 183 2 1 - 10 0 0 Total •Balance • . - £193 2 1 ''The Report also mentioned an addition to the library of 253 voltunes, presented by the members; two globes and a variety of minerals and Mathematical apparatus. . Dr; GILCIERIAT took the opportunity of stating that Mr. Buckingham, the Propietor of the Oriental Herald, had pro mised to -furnish the Institute with that work from its com mencement, and to continue to do so gratuitously. This an , nouncement was very warmly received. The Report further stated, that 677 new Members had been ! admitted—that 332 bad ceased to pay their subscriptions, and the total number actually belonging to the Institution was 1887, ,!being an increase of '404 since the last Quarterly Meeting. The Report then -went -on to state, that the -Chrnical Laboratory ! ..would be open to the Members every Monday front twelve to two, and front six to nine ; and the apparatus room on every Thursday at the same hours; that rooms wore fitted up as Me , chanical Workshops for the use of the Members ; and that a new room was building under the Theatre for the purpose of ac comniodating 120 pupils with lessons in, the French language. The-Report was received amid the most deafening shouts of applause. A-letter was then read from Joshua Walker, Esq. one of the Trustees, on his retirement from. office : and a Vote of Thanks immediately carried for his attention to the interests of the . , Ito n 111‘W.rr.r.rAm, Esq., the Candidate for a seat i n Parliament for Woodstock, an one of the Vice-Presidents, in a short speech, proposed the Lord Mayor of London as •Trustee,in the room of 111 r. Walker; adding, that the Insti tution had a warm friendin his Lordship, who felt anxious to do all in his power to support it. WlLLiax FREND, Esq., Actuary of the Rock Assurance rxanpany, seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously with great applause. A !letter from Dr. Birkbeck was then read, stating that the Rev. Robert Fellows, of Reigate, had, in addition to a dona tion of 1001., offered to give two prrzes of 101. each for the next 1:11:e years, to be contended for among the members—the one for the best new-invented Machine, and the other for the best Essay on Mechanical Power. A vote of thanks was proposed to Mr. Fellows for his liberal offer and handsome donation, and carried unanimously. Seve r.al other votes of thanks were proposed and carried, and sznansgst others to Dr. Birkbeck, Mr. M r William, and Dr. ,Oilchrist. The two latter Gentlemen returned thanks in very ole speeehes, which our limits will not permit us to publish; and the members separated at a quarter past ten o'clock. COURT OF CHANCERY—('Wan DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The LORD CIIANCELLOR tl►is day, on coming into Court, was applied to by Mr. SuGDEN to make the order for the receiver of the rents and profits of the Theatre to pay over to the credit of this cause all surplus money in his hands, after defraying the nightly expenses of the concern. The Loan Crr.t:vcEr,Lo►t, after a few words from Mr. Hart, made the order as prayed for. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. These Sesions commenced this morning, before the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, Recorder, and the Judges, Mr. Justice BAILEY, and Mr. Justice PARK. FORGERY ON CHELSEA HOSPITAL. Hugh O'Donnell stood indicted for uttering a forged Pension Certificate, with an intent to cheat and defraud the Commis sioners of the Royal hospital, Chelsea. Mr. MtnnEwEATimt addressed the Jury, and said that it had. been discovered lately that the person at the bar -had been led into the commission of the offence by others, there fore under those circumstances he was instructed by the Corn missioners to produ ce n o evidence in support of the indict ment.---The prisoner was immediately acquitted. Michael Davis, aged 20, was indicted fora burglary in the house of a•Mr. Benn e tt, i n th e par i s h o f St. Luke, Old,street, and stealing various property -therein. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. - lire are happy to say the Calendar is unusually small, both as to the number of prisoners for trial, and the enormity of the offences with which the stand charged. NEW COURT. After the London Grand Jury bad been sworn, The•RECORDER briefly addressed them on the importara duty they were called upon to perform. Ile congratulated them that the Calendar contained at least one-half of the usual number of prisoners for trial, nor were any of the cases to his (the Learned Recorder's) knowledge of an aggravated nature. But during the performance of the duty reposed on them, there perhaps might be others of an important description, but what the nature of them would- be it was impossible for him to an_ ticipate, as they were not before the Court ; and if such cases should be brought forward, and any difficulty arising in their minds ; on appl i c a ti on t o t h e C ourt , i t w ill b e most willing, as it was their bounden duty, to render them every possible as sistance. Gentlemen, there are two points, however, which I wish to say a few words on—namely, that of Perjury, which is an offence punishable with great severity if the charge is proved. It is likely that such a case may be brought before you, which, therefore, will require your most serious consideration, and as there are 23 gentlemen sworn to perform such duties, th e Co ur t has no doubt it will b e done highly creditable to themselves and satisfactory to the country. Also, as to the finding of bills, it is highly requisite, should there be a difference among you, the majority of 12 must be given. With these observations these observations the Grand Jury retired. The COURT then proceeded to try petty cases devoid of all interest. SIEGE OF CALLAO. Advices have been received from Lima to the beginning of August. The following extract from a private letter Contains the fullest account of the siege of the Castles of Callao which has been received in England, and as it also gives a description of the situation and defences of the fortress, will be read with interest.—" Callao is situated on a neck of low land that projects into the sea, and contained before the war about four thousand inhabitants. The fortifications consist of three castles, mounting together one hundred and ninety pieces of heavy ordnance, and command the town, the harbour, and the whole neck of land acros s w hi c h t h ey are situated. They are built of heavy atone work, inclining inwards from the base, and surrounded by deep wide moats, with heavy draw-bridges across, in the ancient style. The walls are so strong, that no artillery can penetrate them ; their inclination inwards from the base causes the balls which strike them horizontally to glance over; besides, they are protected by trenches thrown up on the outside, nearly to the muzzles of the guns ; and which also answer as a breast-work for troops outside.—Six months ago, when the• Patriots a second time got possession of Lima, it was expected Rodil would have immediately capitu lated and surrendered Callao ; instead of which, lie drove the old men, women ; and children, from the town, l a id up stores of provisions for his troops, and defied his antagonists. Ma force at that time was 1500 men, but the number is reduced by death and desertion to about 800. They are blockaded by a squadron of five or adz vessels, and besieged on land by a Patriot force of 4000. The castles contain immense stores of ammunition and considerable wealth.—Rodil is a determined man, in desperate. circumstances. 'He may be reduced by disease and desertion," but will never voluntarily surrender. His boats fish in. safety. under the guns of the castles, and lie has land enough within their protection to raise 'vegetables for his troops. The besieging army occupies a small town called Bellavista, on the road to Lima, about three quarters of a mile from the Castles. This town is nearly destroyed by the guns of the castles ; there is scarcely a house remaining habitable, and the soldiers are prin cipally sheltered in tents behind the remaining walls. There has been daily fighting for the last thre e m ont h s , and frequent skirmishing between the troops. The firin g f rom the castles is at times tremendous. They certainly return the Patriots ten shots for one. I visited the Patriot camp a few days ago, and leaving my horse at Bellavista, proceeded on foot along the trenches, which project in short angles from the town, about half a mile towards the castles, and within a few hundred yards of them. These trenches are dug about three feet deep, and the loose earth thrown up on the side towards the castles, and staked ' • so that the trench and b reastwor k toget h er are about. as high as the head, and behind them I felt tolerably safe from the balls which whistled over me. Whilst looking over the ea. trenchment at the lower end, towards the castles, I observed one of the fishing boats full of men, pulling towards the blocksdtig vessels. They were deserting from the castles, which instantly opened a most tremendous fire upon the boat. The shot dashed the water about her without appearing to do her any serious da mage. I took this opportunity, whilst they were engaged en the sea side, to go beyond the entrenchments, and view the castles. They did not appear to have received the least impres sion from the heavy firing that had been made on them by the besiegers. They had a 'very military appearance; the Royal stan dard was flying ; the sentinels were marching on the battle ments, and every thing appeared to be in perfect order. Ido not think they can be taken by assault ; the moat is too wide to be passed without much labour : the land is so low they cannot be undermined, and they have been bombarded Without any percep_ tible effect. The besieged have made every preparation fbr de fence. I was told by officers in the Patriot camp, that the walla were covered with bomb-shells, ready to be fired and rolled on any assaulting party. I had not much time to make observe dons ; the boat escaped, and the firing against the entrench ments recommenced, and even within them it was rather warm quarters for a disinterested spectator. On returning to Bella vista, I observed several officers collected to see the boat escape, and found among them the Chief Engneer, who is a French man, and speaks a little English. It appears Rodil is most ap prehensive of disaffection among his troops. He, however, has one regiment that he enlisted an Arequipa, in which he placed great confidence. He preserves a most rigid discipline; no three persons are allowed to converse together privately ; and any sign of discontent is punished with instant death. At one time a Colonel spoke to him of their situation, told him the troops were loyal, and determined to die under his command, in defence of th e castles, but they were desi rous to k now w h at prospects he had of saccess. Itodil immediately had the troops paraded, informed them that his affairs were desperate, and he did not wish any to remain with him who were discontented ; but desired them to use that time to signify their sentiments, and ordered those who were dissatisfied to ground their arms, and advance in front. Accordingly about 40 men, including the Colonel and some officers, marched out of the line, when he instantly ordered the line to fire on them, and they were all executed. It was an awful stratagem to discover and rid him self of the - disaffected, and to .awe the garrison into future silence. A few such men as Rodil would ruin the patriot cause in this country, and literally be worth the Indies to Ferdinand." —(Liverpool Albion.) Yesterday Mr. BOLLAND handed round to his brother Barristers at the London Sessions a letter which he, as the senior practitioner at the Ses sions, had received from the Lord Mayor, requesting him to notify to the gentlemen of the KINGSTON, UPPER CANADA, OCT. 11.—Ex- bar, that whenever their avocations brought tract of a private letter.—" W e hale had a very long and ex- them to the Old Bailey - Sessions nouse, the ceuntry. tremely . hot The poor summer e,migrants and very that camel n out in mostch par arge of Mr. ts of the tables would b e o p e n t o them all.

TRAGICAL HISTORY ofMA RQUISE DE GANGES. MR. EntTon.—The following Tragical Event recorded in the Causes Cedibres, may perhaps in terest some of your Readers. A. P. Madam e de CHATEAUBLANG MIS th© only daughter of a tradesman of Avignon. But the immense wealth she was to inherit from her mateznal grandfather, and thcbun cimmon beauty of her person, attracted the notice of many youths of noble extraction. At the early age of thirteen, she married the Marquis de (latellane, and was universally con sidered as the most beautiful woman at the Court of Louis XIV. The Marquis was lost off the coast of Sicily, and his wife became a widow when she was only 22 years of age. Young, beautiful, and rich, she could not fail having many suitors, and at length bestowed her hand upon the Marquis de Ganges ; two children were the fruits of this marriage; but time gradually lessened the mutual attachment of the parents. ,The Marquis, though he neglected his wife, saw with jealousy and anger the attention-which a young and beautiful female re ceived- wherever she went ; and although the purity of her con . duct afforded him no just cause for blame, yet did his own be haviour towards the Marchioness become harsh, and even out_ rageous. Thus did matters stand between them, when the Chevalier and the Abbe de Ganges, became inmates of their brother's house. The former was for disposition compara tively harmless ; but the Abbe, who concealed under the mask of good humour and playful wit, the most profound dissimulation, and a heart capable of the most daring crimes, soon so worked upon the weak mind of the Marquis, that he became the abject slave of his bold and unprincipled junior.— This wretch, smitten by the charms of his sister-in-law, un dertook to seduce her ; and although he experienced on her part only the most marked coolness, and evident signs of dis gust, he continued for a time to press his suit with all the art of which he was master. At length, chance having offered him favourableoppartunity, he unblushingly avowed his criminal passion, and besought his sister-in-law to yield to his desires ; and when he,found his suit rejected with the coolest contempt, he reminded her that, possessing the entire confidence of her husband, her peace and comfort depended upon himself.— But e'en these threats could not induce her to be tray her duty. In the meantime, she had the mortifi cation' to discover that the Chevalier was also become her admirer. The Abbe having perceived this, encou raged his brother to prosecute his designs ; but the Che valier's fate proved similar to his own, and the wily discoveries of his worthless brother soon changed his love into the most deadly hatred. The Abbe, thus rid of rival, renewed his suit, when ho found the Marchioness still insensible to his love, he induced her husband to ill-treat her, and informed her she could expect no better treatment, unless she yielded to his wishes. In the mean time, the death of her grandfather left her sole heiress to his immense fortune ; and as the law of the land placed it at her sole disposal, her husband now treated her with more kindness, but soon after announced his intentioh of ♦isitin„ his.estate of Ganges, situated near an obScure town of Languedoc. This determination filled his wife with such prehensions, that before her departure she made a will, be queathing her fortune to her mother, leaving her to appoint any one of the Marquis's children as her heir. And in the presence of the chief magistrates of the place, solemnly de elated that every subsequent will, made by her, must be con sidered at of do value. No sooner was the party settled at qan T es than the Abbe took every opportunity of inducing the 5 1archionerif - Ocancel the above.. mentioned will. To avoid his imPortunities, she at length consented ; but when he heard the nature of than left at Mignon, and discovered that his sistet.in law and deceived him, he resolved to make her feel the effects of his vengeance. On the ilth of May, 1667, the Marchioness was to take a dose of physic; but disliking the colour, she did not take it : and spent the afternoon in' bed but in the company of several ladies, when they withdrew, the Abbe accompanied them to the door, but soon the hapless Marchioness saw him re-enter her bed-room, his eyes flashing fire, his hair standing on end; and his mouth foaming with rage. He locked the door, then, ac companied by the Chevalier, who had drawn his sword, he approached the bed. of their victim, and informed her she must chose either the sword, or a poisonous draught, which the Abbe held in one hand, whilst the other grasped a pistol. The tears, the entreaties of the Marchioness,were of no avail,and she drank the contents of the fatal. cup ; but putting her head under the bed cioathes she contrived to spit out a portion of it. Then seizing the time they had gone in search of a Priest to confess her, she leaped out of a window, and thrusting her long pin into her throat, contrived to throw up a large portion of the poison. She then fled to.the house of a Gentleman in the town, whither she was pursued by the Abbe, and the Chevalier, who declared she was insane. Here site endeavoured to move the Chevalier to compassion ; but the wretch plunged his sword twice into her bosoth ; and seeing she was endeavouring to • fly, he ran his weapon five times into her back, and quitted the house. The shrieks of the Marchioness brought several persons into the room ; and as on e o f t h ese ca ll e d cut at t h e window for a surgefon the Abbe fearing she might yet recover, returned to his victim, placed the muzzle of his pistol on her bosom, and drew the trigger, but the deadly weapon missed fire. lie now attempted to knock her brains out whit the butt end, but being overpowered by the persona present, he at length quitted tile house, and, along with his brother, row sought his safety in flight. The Marquess, who was away from home during this tra gedy, hastened tohis wife, and put on theeppearance ofgreat dis tress. His wife died on 7th June 1667, and he was immediately apprehended.' The Chevalier and the Abbe had effected their escape, they weree`havevcr, - Condernned to be broken alive on the wheel ; and the Marquis was sentenced to perpetual banish- , ment, to degradation from nobility, and all his estates were de clared forfeited to the King. No one knows what became of him afterwards. The Chevalier is said to have been killed at the seige of Candia. As to the worthless Abbe, we are sorry to say, that coder a feigned name,ite eventually settled at Amster. darn, where he changed his religion, and acquired great consio toleration, under the name of La Martel Here. The Paris Papers of Tuesday came to hand this day. They have news from Madrid, which inform us that the new Council of State had been formed, and the Consultative Junta dissolved ; but they say nothing in confirtna tion of the accounts received yesterday of the fire in the Escurial. In other respects these papers are destitute of interest. The French 5 per cents. at three o'clock on Tuesday were 97. 15., and the 3 per cents. 66. 9.5.
