FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Thursday, May 10.) ST. PETERSHURGII, Amite 19.—" W e learn from an 'authentic source, that there is at Warsaw a particular com mission of inquiry, among the members of which are four Nfinisters, Secretaries of State, which is engaged in in vestigating the facts and circumstances of the treasonable intrigues of which indications were last year discovered in that Kingdom. The commission will not have concluded its labours for nine months to come. It is said that the sentences of the persons found guilty will be drawn up ac cording to the principles of the Polish code. Among those who are the most deeply implicated, it is thought that two will be condemned to death."

Mr. BURKE talks somewhere of the House of Lords being exempted from the " storm and tempest of eloquence," as distinguishing it from the other House of Parliament. This might have been true in his day, but of late matters have taken a far different turn. The Aristocracy have quite vindicated themselves from such an aspersion, and, as Alderman WOOD justly observes, use language which would not be endured in that re gion eastward of Temple-bar, with the plebeian manners of which the Worthy Alderman seems to have been most unjustly taunted. But we would tell his Worship that Billingsgate filtered through the lips of a Noble Duke or a Right Hon. Earl, ceases to be such, and that though it might be called ungentlemanlike, it is nevertheless lordly, and consequently much better than gentleman like, which is but a humble measure of com mendation. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE does his best to copy the bright example set by some Noble Peers, but he has not yet come out with a single phrase so energetic, so replete with spirit, point, and novely, as several employed during the past week by the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. We admit that Sir THOMAS used the phrase hurley burley in talking of the removal of the late CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER, who "had been tossed," said the Baronet, " out of a situation which he filled with so much credit-;" but though there is a great deal of boldness and free dom in this one sentence, still it is not to be compared with calling the new-made Peers " rubbish," or saying that Mr. CANNING was " the most profligate Minister that the country ever had." Mr. YATES PEEL COMeS much nearer than this, when he says, that, " if any one charged him with rancorous hostility, it was an abominable falsehood." This is, in deed, a very pungent expression, and must carry conviction to the minds of all. Far from having conftentem reran, we have his own authority for denying a charge which only rested on circumstantial evidence, and " slugs and a saw-pit" must be the inevitable fate of uttered scepticism. The late Secretary for the Home Department disclaimed the idea of engaging in a factious Opposition, at more length, and in a manner less alarming to the House, than his Honour able Brother. Indeed we cannot see how any thing approaching to a formidable Opposition can be organised. No doubt, a sagacious contemporary observes this morning, that " the new idol of the Press and the Whigs now totters on his pedestal." From the context we are led to believe that this is meant for Mr. CANNING, but if the Right Hon. Gentleman is tottering, we suspect that tottering must be extremely pleasant, and that the Ultras would like to try what sort of sensation it produces. It appears by a return printed by order of the House of Commons, that the sum of 6,965,051/. was levied in England and Wales for the relief of the poor, in the year ending the 25th March, 1826 ; and that the sum of 7,174,6471. was expended during the same year. It further appears that Select Vestries have been formed in 2,749 parishes, and that Assistant Overseers have been appointed in 2,799. It appears by au Account relative_to the Un• redeemed Funded Debt of Great Britain, pub• lished by order of the House of Commons, that the Total Amount thereof, was on sth January, 1827 X 897,098,557 while on sth January, 1819, it wa5..,...... 832,136,446 Being an increase of £64,962,112 The Total Annual charge has also increased during the same periud 216,2221. per annum. We received this morning Frankfort Papeis to the 6th instant, but they contain no political news. The number of merchants who had gone to the Leipsic fair was very large, and the quan tity of goods that had arrived was uncommonly great : lIEIDELBURG, APRIL 24. The libraries of the convents of Salem and l'eluhausen, near Constance, have been purchased for the sum of 20,000 florins, for the library of our University, which, after de ducting the duplicates, obtains by this means an addition of 30,000 volumes. The city gives 12,000 florins for the purpose of enlarging the building containing the library. A Museum is now going to be erected here, and 54,000 florins are already subscribed towards the expense. VIENNA, APRIL 80.-(By Express.)—Metalliques, g 0 9-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,093. A Bremen paper of the '3d instant, contains some further proceedings of the Catholics of Silesia, which will be found curiously interesting : stLxsia, Aram 16. We have already spoken of the highly important event which will sooner or later have considerable influence on the whole Catholic population of this province, namely, the changes which the inhabitants of twelve villages in Silesia, with the co-operation of their Clergy, have proposed to make in their (Catholic) form of worship. The Bishop of Breslau has applied to Berlin on this subject. Privy Counsellor SchmAding, a Catholic, who directs the affairs of the Catholic Church in Berlin, is gone to Silesia to enquire into the matter on the spot. This, however, instead of setting the business at rest, only made the inhabitants of the villages in question more firm in their adherence to the change. they had made, and applied directly to the King, peti tioning him to sanction the changes they proposed, which in cluded the abolition of the celibacy of the clergy, permission to read the Bible, the singing of German hymns, and the reading of the Mass in the German language.—To this the King repli e d—" Tbat as they did not belong to the Protestant Church, but were Catholics, he could not do this ; the best they could do would be to apply to the Pope, and ask for his dispensation. Should this be refused them, they might give him notice of it, and should they be then inclined with their religious views to join the Protestant Church, lie would support them in his design." The Bishop of Breslau, to whom they hate applied with a petition to the P o p e , has been placed in rather a perplexing situation. However, he has sent the petition to Rome, and the decision of his Holiness, is now anxi ously expected, though it cannot be doubted that the pe tition will be positively refused, because considering the en lightened views that hate spread among the German Ca tholics, especially those who live among Protestants, it may be confidently anticipated that in a short time the Papal see would be assailed with similar petitions from half of Germany. The above twelve villages have a po pulation of SAO, or 8,500 inhabitants, most of them in good circumstances, and who have long been distinguished by their industry and good morals. At Anhalt the Protestant Church has lost a great supporter by the death of the Princess Dowager of Anhalt Zerbst (a Princess of Arilialt Bernberg.) Though already 82 years of age, this Princess (a sister-in-law of the great Empress Catherine), continued to act with the energy of youth. She supported the schools, founded charitable institutions, and especially towards the end of her life, after the con version of the Duke and Duchess of Coethen to the Ca tholic religion, shelved herself the declared defender of Protestantism, so that she was perpetually at variance with the Court of Coethen, which did not hinder her from having pamphlets and sermons printed at her own expense, in which this defection from the Protestant religion was openly attacked, both in its motives and its consequences. We received yesterday, from Liverpool, New York Papers to the 1741, Baltimore and Boston to the 15th, and Charleston to the 7th April, but they contain no news of political im portance. The following are a few extracts : " NEW YORK, APRIL 15.—The following article, which we copy from the York (Upper Canada) Freeman of the Bth inst., shows that the report of the state of public feeling had not been exaggerated. "By the naturalization bill, the torch of Canadian inde pendence has been kindled, and bas sent forth a blaze of light which is visible from one extremity of the province to the other. The effect is tremendous; as well might the secret agents of corruption attempt to veil the sun in its meridian, as to hide it. Petitions are getting up in all directions, against the bill, and thousands are signing._.... In Young-street, we hear, the whole mass of the people are signing ; in Niagara and Gore district!, all, we hear, who are not quitting the country in disgust, will sign ; in parts of the district of Newcastle, they are almost in a state of distraction. We have been written to for en ad ditional number of copies of the ptition. A large meeting is convened at Port Hope on Saturday next, and there, we are informed, the natural-born subjects are equally exas perated and indignant against the measure. Nearer hand, in Whitby, where a meeting was called for last Monday, they are determined to resist it to a man, and that to the very last extremity. By the schooner Swift, at this port, from Laguayra, we hare advices to the 28th March. Bolivar was still at Ca raccas : he has sent away his staff, and the troops which accompanied him down from Bogota. The Colombian ship of war, of 61 guns (formerly the Plato, built at Baltimore), sailed about ten days previous, for Carthagena. A Colombian sloop of war, Capt. Brown, and a French and Danish frigate, were lying at Laguayra; the former was bound to Puerto Cabello, for repairs. FROM 1110 JANEIRO.—The brig Edward, Captain Calder, has arrived at Baltimore from Rio, whence she sailed on the 27th of February. A passenger states, that the Buenos Ayrean army had advanced into the heart of the province or Rio Granue. Rumour u had also reached Rio that a general battle had taken place between the Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies in that province, in which the latter were defeated. It was reported that the Emperor had received dispatches from the seat of war in relation to this event, but no intelligence of their contents had been suffered to transpire, a circum stance which strengthened the belief that the information was of a disastrous character to the Brazilian arms. The Emperor was endeavouring to raise an additioq body of troops, to be sent to Rio Grande. We learn that the United States' ship Cyane was at Santos, undergoing some repairs, previous to her sailing for the United States. EXTRA SESSION..--The Serrate has concurred in the resolution of the House to have an extra session of the Le gislature, for the purpose of passing upon the revised laws of the state. It is understood that the session (which is to be held on the 2d Tuesday in September) will be devoted to that.purpose exclusively, and that whatever petitions may he presented, or business proposed, none will be acted upon unless the subject be of the utmost public interest. CASE OF' SEDUCTION.—A case of seduction was tried in the Court of Common Pleas of this city, says the New York Commercial, in which Miss Wilhelmina Cooper recovered a verdict for the sum of six hundred dollars, against her betrayer, master Gulian Rutan, an infant. The Counsel for the defendant made an earnest appeal in behalf of his client, for a mitigation of damages, on account of his tender years. But Mr. Price insisted that though an in fant, he was, nevertheless, old enough to be the father of an infant, and should therefore be made to smart for his juvenile perfidy— Savannah Georgian. A Dual,.—A meeting took place on the 23d March, in Kentucky, near the Tennessee line, between Mr. C. M. Smith and Mr. Brank—the latter was shot dead on the first fire. They were both lawyers, and residents of Co lombia, Maury County. ' Mr. Ovcrs.—A writer in the Intelligencer contradicts the statement lately published, that Mr. Owen's establish ment at New Harmony has been broken up. It is not the case. Some few families have left the settlement, but others have arrived. Gen. Clarke has returned to St. Louis, Missouri. —The Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians have rejected the propo sitions of the commissioners, and refused to sell their lands. A gentleman from St. Domingo states, that the political concerns of the country wear rather a more favorable aspect than formerly; the export duty of 20 dollars per 100011 as. of Coffee has been taken off. This is depriving the French of any advantage which they formerly possessed over others in exporting for half duties.—Philadelphia Paper. A report is in circulation that four sail of the line and several frigates, have sailed from Brest for Cadiz, supposed with troops, to relieve part of the garrison in that fortress. A vessel is arrived from the Havannah, after a short passage, which is stated to bring accounts of a partial en gagement between Laborde and Commodore Porter, in which the former was defeated. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The English Funds have not been so buoyant as yester day, and a flatness seems to attend the market ; early in the morning some expectation was enteraained that infor mation might possibly have been elicited from Mr. Canning last night as to the measures he means to recommend in the matters of the finance of the country, in which, however, they were disappointed, and this may probably have caused the almost cessation of business which attended the English Stock market. Consols closed yesterday at S 3, buyers, and opened this morning at 82i 3, for money and ac count, which was the only price until a few minutes since, when they took a turn and advanced to 83k, for account, and 8:34 for the opening ; Money Stock continues scarce ; India Bonds are 73 5 ; and Exchequer Bills, 47 S pm, The Foreign Funds have had very little business done in them to-day. Colombian Bonds have been heavy and de clined to 324, after being 33} 4.

The Conde de Palma Mello sailed from Maranham on the 14th March, for Lisbon ; she struck the same night, knocked off her rudder, and had three feet water in her hold, and was abandoned by the crew ; she was carried back into port on the 20th, and was discharging. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. HILL V. REARDON. Mr. FONBLANQUE bad a very short, but pressing, motion to make, which he hoped the Court would hear. There was a motion about to be made before the Vice- Chancellor, calculated to counteract the object of the one the learned Counsel wished now to make, and which, from feelings of delicacy, the parties did not like to make in the other Court, on account of the present Vice-Chancellor having been employed as Counsel in the cause for the parties interested in opposing it. The drift of the motion was, that a sum of money that had been paid into Court to the credit of two causes, might he transferred into one of them—the one that still remained before the Court ; the other having been dismissed by the late Lord Chancellor. The money had been paid into Court pending the two causes. His LORDSHIP.—There is a particular day appointed for motions. To-day is for the hearing of appeals. Mr. FONBLANQUE had always understood that the Court had been in the habit of hearing motions of an ur gent nature on any day. His Loßnsilic—But the ground of this motion must have existed before Wednesday last, and though I was here then, there was nobody prepared to make a motion. Mr. FONBLANQUE considered himself, strictly speaking, entitled, according to the practice, to make a motion on any day in term time, though he did not wish to pn As any thing against the inclination of the Court, provided he did not sacrifice the interest of hia client. if the Court would therefore intimate that the pending motion on the other side should not be made until his motion could be suffered to be made here, he cared not to what day his Lordship might postpone it. His LoßDsmr—Who is on the other side? Mr. WRAY appeared for the Crown. Mr. FONBLANQUE observed that the money would be equally secure, after the transfer to what it was now. His Lonnsitir.—Let the whole remain suspended till the next motion day, which will be Wednesday. If we lay down a rule for the proceedings of the Court, it is in convenient to depart from that rule. 1 was here on Wed nesday to hear motions, and no person was here to make them. Let the other motion be suspended as well as this one. HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. MONTAGU believed he was at liberty, according to the, rule his Lordship had laid down, to make a short mo tion in bankruptcy to-day. Ills motion was, that a writ of Habeas Corpus might be ordered to issue to bring up the body of a bankrupt, who had been committed to gaol at Bristol by commissioners, for not having given them an swers they considered satisfactory.—The writ was ordered to issue, returnable on Wednesday next. YARLAND 2.% YARLAND. Mr. mission to make a short motion, we understood him to say in Yarland v. Yarland. Mr. WAKKFIELD appeared to oppose the motion. His Lonostitr.—'Wednesday will be the day for moti ons , _ _ Mr. said it was most important that he should have the opportunity of making the motion now. His LORDSHIP-4 can't help that; the Court broke up on Wednesday last at one o'clock, because there was no GentNinan here prepared to make a motion. Mr. WAKEFIELD considered this an important motion; it was for a receiver, a❑d would take some time. His LORDSIIIP—* hy was not notice of the motion given for last Wednesday ? Mr. of it for that day, because the injunction bad not been ob tained till Tuesday. His Loansuir—Thpn I can't help it ; it must stand till the next Seal, for I will not interrupt the hearing of the Appeals now. It would be very much for the conve nience of the bar, as well as the Court, to have precise days appointed for particular business ; it would prevent the necessity of having to read papers twice over. If we lay down a rule, we must adhere to it as much as possible. __ . . Mr. HEALD believed the fact to be, that until about the time at which the Vice-Chancellor was appointed, it had been the practice for the Lord Chancellor to call on Counsel to make their motions on a certain day of the week at one o'clock, but it would be most inconven:': if motions were to be called on in that /tray now, and disposed of whether in the presence or absence of all parties, the practice having been very much changed since the Vice-Chancery had been instituted. Ibis Lomositir—Well, we will adhere to the practice that has now been laid down, till we find it produces an inconvenience. IN THE RATTER OF THE SUITORS. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL presented a petition, which prayed that the payment of the salaries of the Master of the Rolls and Vice-Chancellor might he ordered to he paid out of the Suitors' Fund.—Prayer granted.

Mr. St GDEN was proceeding to make an application on the part of the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from transferring to his own credit a very large amount of stock now standing to the credit of the cause of Hill v Reardon, which it will be in the recollection of our readers, was for a considerable length of time pending before the late Lord Chancellor, and whi oh terminated very recently in the dismissal of the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiff, by whom the present bill was filed, now claims one-third of the fund in question ; and the object of the application was to impound the stock, until his right shall be determined, Whilst the Learned Gentleman was addressing the Court, Mr. Fox BLA NQUE entered, and informed his Honour, that he had applied to the Lord Chancellor this morning to hear a motion in the same cause, and that his Lordship, - in re fusing to entertain them, intimated a wish that all the proceedings should be suspended until Wednesday next. The VICE CHANCELLOR accordingly directed the matter to stand over. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SINCLAIR V. REHBLE AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case is the celebrated vocal perfor mer, and the present action was brought against the de fendants, who are the managers of the Covent Garden Theatre, to recover compensation in damages for a breach of contract. The cause was tried at the last Sittings at Westminster, before Lord Tenterden, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. The facts were shortly as follow ;..... The plaintiff entered into an agreement with the defendants, to play at the theatre for fifty nights, during the season 1824-5, at 201. per night. The plain tiff was in Scotland when he entered into the engagement, and was informed by the defendants that his presence would be required in the first week of October, 1824, to take a character in the Opera. of " Der Freischutz," which was then brought forward for the first time ; but from an en gagement the plaintiff had at Carlisle, he was unable to be in London till the 15th of October, after the Opera had been acted. The defendants then told him, that es he did not come in time, they were obliged to engage another gentleman to perform his part, and therefore they did not consider themselves bound to the engagement; but, in order to oblige him they would employ him as often as they could, at the same rate, viz. 20/. a night. On the faith of this promise, the plaintiff abstained from engaging elsewhere ; but he was so seldom employed by the defendants, that he conceived they had not fulfilled their promise, and therefore brought the pre sent action. The Chief Justice, at the trial, left the Jury to decide whether, under all the circumstances, the plaintiff was employed a reasonable number of nights, and, if not, to award as much damages as they should think reasonable. Under this direction, the Jury found for the plaintiff, as already stated. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL on a former day obtained a rule to show cause, why a new trial should not be grant ed, on the ground that as no specific number of nights was agreed upon, his Lordship had m i s di rec t e d th e J ur y. Mr. F. POLLOCK this day appeared to chew cause against the rule. He contended, that his Lordship's direction was perfectly correct. He conceived it quite clear,that if the plaintiff could have anticipated that he should have been so seldom employed, he would have engaged else where, and therefore the Jury were the only Judges of the reasonableness of the treatment received by the plaintiff. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL reiterated his former argu ments, and Lord TENTERDEN, after conferring with his Learned Brothers, said, that under all the circumstances, if it should meet the approbation of Counsel on both sides, he thought the ends of justice would be best answered by allowing the plaintiff to make such amendments to his declaration as he should think fit ; the expences of the former trial and of the amendments to await the result of a new trial. Mr. POLLOCK had no objection to this arrangement. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (though he had no instruc tions on the point) had no doubt, from the spirit of ac commodation evinced by his clients, that they would not object. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court sat in Banco this morning till one o'clock, when they proceeded to join the other Judges in the Exche quer Chamber, to decide on a writ of error. Nothing of public interest occurred. ARCHES' COURT. THE. CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. GEORGE'S, CAMBERWELL V. JOSEPH EVAM, ESQ. This was a suit for the subtraction of poor-rates, brought by the Churchwardens of St. George's against Mr. Evans, the barrister, to recover a rate of 6d. in the pound, made by the Select Vestry, for the repairs of the church. The case was fully argued on the last Court Day, when Mr. Evans appeared in person, and stated rery ably his objections to the rate. The case now came o❑ tor judg ment on the admission of the libel. Sir JOHN NicHoLt, said, th^t as the case now came on upon admission of the libel, the Court was bound to assume that the contents of that libel could be proved. Its form had not been objected to, and all the objections arose upon the legality of the rate. The objections were, that the rate should be paid by the whole parish, and made by an open vestry, but the Act of Parliament the 5S Geo. 3, cap. 43, by which district parishes were created, expressly enacted that those district parishes should be considered separate anal independent parishes for all ecclesiastical purposes; the repairs of the Church therefore were clearly to be paid for by the district, and by rates levied on the rateable property be longing to that district. The next question was, who had the power to make the rates, and there could be no doubt that by the late Act of Parliament, which empowered the Commissioners for building new Churches, to appoint a number of substantial householders as select vestrymen to recognize all matters connected with the Church, the select vestry so appointed in the parish of Saint George's, Camberwell, had ample power ,to make the rate. But it was objected that the rate was retrospective, an therefore illegal, bat it was well known that it was a f.e quent practice in parishes to borrow money on the crc'?ic of the rates ; and indeed it could scarcely be otherwise, for it was impossible to calculate how much money it was ne cessary to raise, until the repairs had bean completed, or, at all events, commenced. After adverting to several other minor objections, the Court observed that it had no discretion to refuse to admit a rate which was clearly legal, even though an improvident expenditure could be proved. In such an event, the regular course would be to enter a caveat before the Ordinary ; but if the Ordinary assented to any repairs, the Court had not juris diction even to compel the Vestry to produce its accounts. Upon all these considerations, therefore, the Court felt it self bound to pronounce for the admission of the libel. THE COMMITTEE OF THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH V. MART ANN HANSON, CALLING HERSELF COUNTESS or roRTs- MOUTH. In this case, Mr. Glennie, Lady Portsmouth's Proctor, prayed the Court to grant time to the first Session of next Term, to put in an allegation in answer to the libel. Dr. LUSIIINGTOti said the first Session of next Term was a long time, bat he would not oppose the motion if Mr. Glennie undertook to serve his party with a copy of the allegation six days liefore the Term. The CouaT granted the prayer, upon the condition stated by Dr. Lushington. The Court then adjourned. The Princess Augusta entertained the Duchess of Gloucester and a select party to dinner on Wednesday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Augusta took an airing together in the Parks on Thursday. Their Royal Highnesses visited the Princess Sophia, at her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Duke of Wellington appeared at the King's Court on Thursday, in the Regimentals of the let Regiment of the Foot Guards, of whicij his Grace is Colonel. DOVER, MAY 11.—Sailed the Royal George steam-packet for Boulogne, with his Excellency the Count d'Aglie, the Sardinian Ambassador, and his suite. The new Attorney-General (Sir J. Scarlett), on re-entering the House, last night, took his seat on the bench behind the Treasury bench ; but when Mr. Canning entered the House, he beckoned the Learned Gentleman, who thereupon descended, and took his seat on the Trea sury beach, alongside Mr. Canning. GRAND BALL AT KINGSTON HOUSE.— The Countess of Listowell's Grand Ball at Kingston-house, on Thursday night, will be long panegyrised in the fashion able world, for the splendour, liberality, and refined taste displayed throughout. The noble suite of rooms were most splendidly illuminated with Iva' lights, placed in chande liers of the most superb designs. The matchless beauty of the decorations were heightened by a conservatory at the end of the ball-room which contained all the choicest ,ants of the East, tastefully illuminated with variegated lamps, at the end of which was an elegant transparency, representing an Italian scene by moonlight. The odour of the plants, wafted by a gentle breeze from the conser vatory to the rooms, kept them in delightful temperature. At the little Theatre in Catherine-street, last night, the tragedy of King John, followed by the farce of <4 Rowland for an Oliver, was well performed by a pri vate company. i\IR. CANNING'S REPLY TO SIR THOMAS LETnnarnax.—The interest that has been created in the breast of every person who has read the above speech, has hardly ever been surpassed by the act of any one m an , an d has created more noise than any thing except the fact of SALE and Co., 33k, Strand, making the best Welling ton's in the World for one Guinea a pair. On Thursday last Rear-Admiral Sir E. W. C. R. Owen was unanimously re-elected M.P. for the Town and Port of Sandwich; after which Election an Ad dress from the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty, was also unanimously voted to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cla rence, congratulating him on his appointment to the office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain; which Address is to be presented by the Gallant Admiral and his Worthy Col league, Joseph Marryat, Esq. TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL.—The new tunnel at Harecastle Hill, Staffordshire, was opened on Monday week. This tunnel is nearly two miles in length, and in a direct line, so that one entrance may be seen from the other. There is a towing-path throughout, with a strong iron hand-railing. This tunnel has been completed in the short space of two years, whilst the old one, about thirty yards from the new one, was in progress eleven years.— Shrewsbury Chronicle.
