Although the transactions in the British Funds have not been of an important nature, still there has been a small sprinkling of business this morning, the Bulls having summoned up a little more courage, under an impression that Money Stock is scarce ; the first price of Consols was 871 a for money, and 87j for account, at which rate they did not remain long, but went back to 871 j for account, at which price they remained till within a few minutes of 12 o'clock, when they went up to 87i a ; they were at one time 87j, the nearest price; the Commissioners were supplied at 87i ; after which their appearance became rather flat, and the present price is 871 f ; little or no variation has taken place since yesterday in the Exchequer market, and the premium continues at 59 60 ; India Bonds, 99 4. The Foreign Funds still remain in a very inani mate state, and little or nothing is doing in any of their securities; Mexican Bonds are a shade lower, being 66 7 ; Colombian, 29* 301 ; in every thing else there is no variation.

Youngjohns' Stourport Coach was overturned this afternoon in F oregate-street, opposite the Star Inn. The passengers did not sustain any injury.— Worcester Journal. POISONED BY AN ADDER.-011 Wednesday lag as a young man named Hetherington, who resides at Hampstead, was getting over a hedge in the neighbour hood, he unfortunately placed his hand upon au adder, which stung him. Inflammation almost immediately en sued in the arm and side, so as to render his recovery ex ceedingly precarious. The mushroom has had a whimsical destiny ; having bees praised and abused with equal injustice ; Nero callissz it " the flesh of the Gods ;" while a French abbe gives it the epithet of " the assassin and the regicide vegetable." In Rush county, Indiana, a Mr. Points took the daughter of a Mr. Young from her father's house, for the purpose of marrying her without his consent. Mr. Young pursued and overtook them, and shot Points dead on the spot. There would be less runaway matches, if the parties apprehended they would end in this way.—American Paper. KENNoWAY.—A young lady of this place Made an experiment on a living toad, by putting it into a flower-pot, covering it carefully up, and placing it deep in the ground, to see if it would live without food and fresh air. She lately, after a lapse of more than two years, exa mined her captive, which appeared as strong and well as when first placed in confinement. She has again re-com -I:pitted it to its former darksome cell, to spend two years' more in " durance vile."—Edinburgh Observer. A few days ago, such was the competition be tween rival steam-vessels, that numbers of Irish labourers, on their return from the harvest, were conveyed from Liverpoollo Newry, a distance of 200 miles, for Sd. each, or, in some cases, three were taken for fid. FEMALE CURIOSITY.—During the exhibi tion o f Signor Blitz, in a room at Beverley, a tailor's wife, Nvho lives in a house adjoining the exhibition room, thought peep, a n d by ge tti ng i n t o a false she would have a gratis loft, was making her way across the spars towards a peep hole, when her unlucky stars caused her to set her foot on the under -drawing , between the sp ars an d s h e s li ppe d through; an accident which furnished more entertainment th an the Signor's performance.

A p ers on of extensive information and re fined manners, wearing a fanciful costume, and speaking a for e ign accent, has lately excited much interest at this place, under the designation of the wandering Troubadour. It app ears that he bound himself by a wager to visit Wor cester, Cheltenham, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight, AS an itinerant minstrel, from the 25th of June to the 10th ' of the Present month, and to collect a certai n sum of money during that h a . Period by his musical exertions. The wager, we understand, who won, and the name of this eccen tric individual, m states himself to be a Frenchman, is Lamoile.-- Worcester Journal. FODDER.—We mentioned early in the season, that the meadows and fields on which grass for bunching Was growing, had let very high. Owing to the nature of the weather, such a long continuance of alternate shower and sunshine, the different cuts have been unusually heavy, of the beet quality, and the tacksmen eonsider themselves issetugate in their bargain!.

The accounts received from Jamaica on Monday last continue to confirm the former reports of short crops, and seem to have given the importers greater confidence, and they are again demanding higher prices : in conse quence the grocers (who still continue to hold small stocks) have been buying freely at the advance ; the Refiners also have been purchasing, but still with great caution, the ad. vance on the raw material being much greater than that on refined.

REFINED SUGARS.—The demand for low Goods for the Hamburgh market has been very extensive this week, but they are exceedingly scarce, and the advanced price quoted readily obtained: in the middling descriptions of Lumps and Loaves, and the finer descriptions for the home trade also, there has been more doing. The late advance ap pears to have checked all further operations in Crashed 14 the present, as the business done for this fortnight past has been exceedingly limited.

FRANCE AND HER REsoußcEs.--The agri cultural produce of France, which, during the war, and for some years after it had ceased, Was insufficient for her then diminished population, is now superabundant, although her inhabitants have been increased by an accession of four millions of souls. Larger tracts of land have been put into cultivation ; a better system of farming has been followed ; the waste occasioned by the necessities or wantonness of foreign soldiers has been repaired ; and, in fact, all the materials, both animal and mechanical, em ployed in agriculture, are augmented in a sur lprising degree. In manufactures, likewise, the i improvement has been equally satisfactory. The woollen manufacture of France is, perhaps, the most important of all her branches of industry. The rapid growth which has taken place in the fabrication of woollen cloths in that country, is to be attributed chiefly to the enterprise of IVIr. Ternaux, late a deputy for Paris, who, in addi tion to his general business as a clothier, has very successfully cultivated the manufactur e of Cach mere shawls, for the purposes of which he im ported a number of goats from the East. The increase of the woollen manufacture may be judged of,' by comparing the quantity of raw material consumed in the factories in 1812, and at the present time. The total quantity of wool employed in the former period did not exceed thirty-five millions of kilogrames : it now amount s to fifty millions a year, including what is imported from other countries. The cotton manufacture, which only lately admitted the as sistance of machinery, has made still more rapid advances. In 1812, no more than ten millions, three hundred and sixty-two thousand kilogrames of cotton wool were spun throughout France ; in 1825, the quantity spun amounted to twenty eight millions of kilograme s ; and, in the latter period, the article was wrought to a degree of fineness, and rendered fit for purposes, of which the rwanufacturers at the former period had no notion. -•-Monthly Review. ASSIZES,-(RECEIVED TIM DAY.) NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, SEPT. 5. SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED UPON A WHOLE FAMILY. Roger Heyworth, aged 23, and George Heyworth, 18, (brothers), were indicted for a highway-robbery on the 19th March last, between Burnley and Bacup, in this county, upon James Taylor and Robert Whitaker. The robbery was attended with extreme barbarity. Mr. MILNER, the Deputy Recorder of Leeds, stated the case. James Taylor stated, that he is deputy-constable of the Township of Bacup, and on the 12th March last he went to Burnley, and was returning home in company with Robert Whitaker, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, but being wet, they put into an ale-house on the road, where they remained till about half-past eight. They were proceeding up Dortley-hill, and had their umbrellas up, when he (witness) was struck with something that went through his umbrella, through his hat, and knocked his eye out; he did not see any one; he thought after• wards he was struck with a hammer, but he was senseless at the time ; the first thing he recollected was Robert Whitaker lifting him up; he was then lying in a ditch, near the road-side, under water; he put his hand to his cheek, and felt his eye upon it ; he had two ribs broken ; he lost 1/. IBs. 6d. in silver ; he was confined eight or nine weeks ; the two prisoners lived in Bacup about 200 yards from where lie did. Robert Whitaker confirmed the testimony of the last witness. William Tattersall, a constable, received two bludgeons from a man named Johnson—[Here they were produced, and were of the most formidable description, they were of ash, about a yard and a quarter long, with knobs at one end, they resembled a man-of-war's handspike.] Mr. MILNER said that he had the evidence of a man named Jackson to prove that the prisoners were the per sons, but Jackson was an accomplice, and his evidence was not confirmed. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said it was a safer course not to convict upon the evidence of an uncorroborated accomplice, and directed an acquittal. The two prisoners then, with William Heyworth, their father, aged 60, and John Jackson, his son-in-law, the ac complice in the above case, were arraigned for a burglary in the dwelling-house of John Fielden, at Spotland, and pleaded Guilty. They were also arraigned for a highway robbery on Joseph Crabtree, to which indictment they also pleaded Guilty. His LORDSHIP said that he should examine witnesses to prove the circumstances attending each of the case* to which they pleaded guilty. Hannah Fielden, a fine looking young woman, was then called—l am the step-daughter of John Fielden, of Low Clough, near Bacup ; it is a lone house, about a mile from Bacup, and a quarter of a mile from any other house ; I and my mother, on Saturday the 14th April, were up, with two of my sisters, one eleven, and another nine years of age ; my father and the rest of the family were gone to bed. About eleven o'clock several persons came in at the front door, they unlatched the door and name in ; the pri soner, Roger Heyworth came in first, George the second, and William the third, and the fourth, I think, was Jack son; I am quite certain of all the prisoners; they were dressed in dirty smock frocks, and they had large clubs in their hands ; their faces were coloured red and yellow, and they wore old bats turned up be fore—they had handkerchiefs tied round the lower part of their faces, they looked at us, and we at them. We screamed out " father," " thieves." George Heyworth struck me with a large club over the temple, and I fell to the ground and was insensible for a few minutes. I then saw two of them standing in the middle of the floor, and two of them rushed to my father and struck him, he had a drying iron in his hand, and tried to defend himself with it. They said they would have money or they would kill us. They asked for the old woman's (my grandmother) money ; she was living with us, and came about Christmas. My mother was hurt on the I see of the head, but whether from a blow, or through falling with fear, I cannot tell. Hannah Fielden, the mother, and James Fielden, the husband, corroborated their daughter's testimony. In the case of the highway robbery, to which the prisoners pleaded " Guilty," Joseph Crabtree, stated, that on the 11th April last he and a man named Ashworth, were going home about ten o'clock, when he saw four men on his right on the back of a wall, at a tone part of, the road, at the top of Slate pit hill, between Todmorden and Bacup ; they had smock frocks on, and large bludgeons in their hands ; he picked the one he now held in his hand up the week following, on the spot where he was knocked down, (witness produced a bludgeon loaded with lead); they rushed at him, knocked him down with a blow that made a hole in his hat. Ash worth ran and got away from them. They took his watch, three shillings, and a silver pencil-case. One of the men took off his handkerchief and said to the other " cut his throat." They took his handkerchief away. Edward Kershaw, of Smithy Bank, near Bacup, stated, that on Saturday the 24th of March last, about twelve o'clock at night, he had been buying some groceries. He had got about half a mile whets he heard a footstep, and re ceived a blow immediately; he turned round, and said, " Can't you let people pass quietly." Whilst speaking he was struck on the back and fell down ; they beat him with bludgeons, and then threw him over a wall about five feet high ; one of them got over too, kneeled upon him, and began to strangle him, and the other struck him on the head with something sharp. They robbed him of two sixpences and three halfpence. The usual proclamation now being made, Mr. Justice BAYLEY put on the black coif, and the most death-like silence prevailed, which was broken by the loud sobbings of the two brothers, Roger and George, who clung to each other, bathed in tears, while their hoary-headed father stood unmoved. Jackson, his son-in-law, stood at one end of the dock with his back turned to his wretched "relatives, companions in crime, and glanced at them with a forbidding look. His LORDSHIP then addressed them as follows :—lt is my painful duty to pass upon you that dreadful sentence which the law inflicts upon the crimes of which you have been found " guilty." Old Heyworth.—Do, for Christ's sake, have mercy upon us, my Lord, --do spare us, for God's sake. The young Heyworths—(Weeping, and in each other's arms),—Do, for Christ's sake, spare our lives, we will never do so again. His LORDSHIP resumed.—How can I? How is it pos sible? The public must have protection. Look at the deadly instruments made use of by you ; and the man, if he had not saved himself with the iron, would have lost his life. We make a marked difference between persons who chew mercy themselves, and those who, armed in a deadly manner, inflict cruelty. You three (addressing the three Heyworths), a father encouraging his sons to this wickedness—it is utterly impossible he can be saved; and the sons, sometimes with, and sometimes without the father, always acting with violence. If you were to be saved, what protection would poor people have whom ne cessity takes from their cottages in the night? It is enough for people to lose their property ; but it is too much to meet with barbarity. There can be no security for the public unless the law were to take its course. In Jack son's case, I shall consider whether I can recommend him to mercy, (the other culprits at this moment turned their eyes in anger towards him). The awful sentence of the law is, that you .three be hanged by the neck, until you are dead, and may God Almighty extend that mercy to you, which he will to all who are sorry for their crimes. I hope and trust you will fit yourselves for the short time you have to live, and look up with repentance to God, who will show mercy on you ; and may God soften your hearts at this moment : I have already passed the sentence upon you. The prisoners were then removed from the dock, bathed in tears. The Heyworths were a dread to that part of the country, and were called the Baeup Banditti. The Court WAS excessively crowded. THE CITANCELLORSIIIP.—TiIe confirma tiongiven rise to some well-founded, and some very groundless of the appointm ent of Sir William Alexander, has regret. There is no one who knows this country, and who knows the high and sound principles of head and heart which distinguish Lord Plin , ket, who does not, and who ought not to regret that the choice has not fallen upon him. But politicians, the wisest and th e h onestest of them must often yield to circumstances ; and w e b e li eve this appointment to have been dictated by the purest in tentions towards this country, con.. l :suled, of course, b y the nec ess ity o f th e case. Sir William Alexander will not be the creature of party in this country, such as his prede cessor was. Anti even this is a step gained in the march of improvement in Irish legislation. As was sensibly re marked by this morning's Register —next t o h av i ng a man of good politics, it is desirable i n this country to have one of no politics at all. If we could persuade ourselves to forget the transcendent qualifications of L or d P lunket, and the pain that there existed a political ne cess i ty f or pass i ng him over for the present, we are satisfi e d t h at t h e new Lord Chancellor would give great satisfaction. Surely it is something, at least, gained, to have no longer a party NAYMARKET THEATRE. • A new comedy, entitled " Spring and Autumn, or the Bride at Fifty," from the pen, we understand, of KENNY, was last ni6ht produced at this Theatre. It is a lively, entertaining piece, and turns chiefly on the peevish jealousies of an old woman, (Mrs. W. CLIFFORD), who has married a dashing dissipated young man, named Rattle. When we have men tioned that this last character was performed by Mr. COOPER, we think we have said quite enough to thin the benches during the run of the piece ; for so far from haVing any pretensions to vivacity, this gentleman is the most prosing, solemn bore ima ginable. " Ah, think not, mistress, more true dulness lies In folly's dress than wisdom's grave disguise." In Joseph Surface he is quite at home; but in such parts as the present, he is intolerable. — His intoxication was by no means good; he seemed to forget that a gentleman may be a gentleman, even " inter scvphos," and that it by no means follows that he should box his friend's ears, or kick his shins, because he has indulged in a somewhat liberal allowance of champaigne.— Such conduct savours of St. Giles's. The best character in the piece, was that of Sir Simon Slack, a good-natured old gentleman, fond of his ease, yet with a somewhat paradoxical propensity to a young wife. This amusing peculiarity, was well hit off by FARREN, whose vivacity, and con more bye-play and inuendos, kept the house in continued merri ment.—The piece. was completely successful, and bids fair, we think, with a few slight alterations to have a run. CHELTENHAM, SEPT. s.—The Marquis of Donegal, Lady Gresley, the Hon. W. Bathurst, &c. are among our latest accession of visiters. Our promenades in the walks of the Montpellier, Royal, and Sherborne Spas, continue thronged every morning by crowds of nobility and gentry. A grand ball will shortly take place for the benefit of the Master of the Ceremonies, at his private residence " The Priory." A very liberal collection was made on Friday last at the annual meeting of the Auxiliary Bible Society of this town, which was held at the Rotunda, and was very numerously attended. The drama of Faustus will be performed at our theatre ou Friday next, in which Harley will take the part of Wagner. The Hypocrite was performed on Monday night, when Terry acted Doctor Cantwell in his usual style of excellence: The part of Maw-worm was sustained by Russell. A gentleman applied to his friend to lend him some amusing book : he recommended Harris's Hermes. The gentleman, from the title, conceived it to be a novel, but turning it over could make nothing out of it, and at last coldly returned it with thanks. His friend asked him how lie bad been entertained. " Not much," he replied ; " he thought that all these imitations of Tristram Shandy fell far short of the original !" A schoolmaster, at Sheerness, a few years since, had the following notification in his window :—" I lames young gemmen to rede, rite, and miler, and the use of the gloabs allsoe." THE HARVEST.—The weather ha 3 been favourable for harvest work, during the past week, and much grain has, of course, been saved in the interim. It is, however, a fact, that much still remains uncut, as well as ungathered, in this part of Yorkshire. The weather of late, though dry, has not been sufficiently warm to ripen the crops speedily. We hope, however, that all will he got in eventually, and in good condition.—Leeds Intelligencer. THE GLOVE TR ADE.—WC are concerned to learn that the Glove Trade is again much depressed, in consequence of the vast quantities of French Gloves which are introduced. Not only are these Gloves imported to a great extent in the legal way, bat it is a well-established fact that the smugglers introduce them at half the duty. The manufacturers in London are about to present a Me morial t• Ministers, stating the injury which is being sus tained by the trade, and praying that a stop may be put to the importation after July, 1828. No doubt the manu facturers in this city and other parts of the kingdom will follow this example. We sincerely trust that their repre sentations may produce some relief ; thousands of the poor in this neighbourhood are dependent upon the Glove Trade for support. It is most distressing to the feelings of these poor people to be deprived of their means of sub- Sisleuce by the introduction of articles of foreign manufac ture.--Worcester Journal. LEICESTER MUSIC FESTIVAL.—The Fes tival commenced here on Tuesday last, and the company attending it were more numerous and respectable than the moat sanguine could have expected, which hats produced this very pleasing result, that the receipts at the first con cert, on Tuesday evening, and in the church on the fol lowing day, have already covered the expences incurred. —The first concert, on Tuesday evening, commenced with Cherubini's beautiful Overture to Anacreon, which was performed in a most masterly manner by a magni ficent orchestra ; and followed by Rossini's Buffo Aria, "Largo al factotum," sung by Signor De Begnis in his best style. Madame Pasta sung ‘‘ Tu the ascendi" in brilliant style, and was greatly applauded ; she also gave the aria of Nicolini, " Cadde I'iniquo," in a superior man ner. In the concertante department, a trio, by Messrs. Cramer, Lindley, and Dragonetti, was highly applauded; as was also a concerto on the violin, by Kiesewetter. We are very sorry to state that Kiesewetter is in such a deplo rable state of health, that little hopes are entertained of his recovery. SUICIDE OF A FELON.---LIVF.RPOOL, SEPT. .5.—A man named James Thompson was on Monday found guilty at Lancaster, and sentence of death recorded against him, for horse-stealing, at Ormskirk, after which he was given in charge to a Police-officer in attendance, to be conveyed to Chester, to be again put on his trial, he being charged by the verdict of a Coroner's Jury with the wilful murder of a woman at Compstall-bridge, near Marple. The prisoner arrived in this town on the 3d instant, and, as is usual in such cases, his legs were secured with a strong chain. In the afternoon he was put on board a steam-packet for Birkenhead, from which place he was to be forwarded by coach to Chester. When the packet had gained the middle of the river, Thomps on asked permission of the officer to go to the head of the vessel, when, strange to say, the miserable man threw hi m _ self overboard, ironed as he was, and after a struggle of a few moments, he sunk to rise no snore. Upwards of 100 passengers were on board at the time. COACH ACCIDENT.—We lament to say, that some distressing accidents occurred yesterday after noon, by the upsetting of the Kington Mail Coach, on its way to this city, The accident happened as the coach was going round a turn in the road near Knightsford Bridge, There were one inside and four outside passengers ; b e _ bind the coachman sat two gentlemen and a female ; the latter, we are grieved to state, was so much injured (hav ing received a concussion of the brain) that doubts are en tertained of her recovery ; she is the wife of a post-boy.-- Mr. Irish, of the Hop Pole Inn ; Bromsgrove, who sat with .the coachman, had his arra a n d thi g h f rac t ure d, b u t i s doing well. The coachman was much bruised, but not dangerously hurt. The only inside passenger, a lady, w as much cut about the head, but not materially injured. The guard and the other passengers sustained no material hurt. The persons injured have received every attention from Mr. Pierpoint, surgeon, of this city.

QUEEN-SQUARE EMBEZZLEMENT.— William West, a Chelsea pensioner, was brought up from the watch-house, before G. W. MARRIOTT, Esq. the sitting Magistrate, charged on two separate offences with embezzling the sum of 101. 16s. 4d., the property of Mrs. Mary Clarke, with whom he acted as a servant ; and also 31. 15s. 10d., the monies of Mrs. Elizabeth Waugh, living in Tothill-street, Westminster, the said money having been intrusted to his care. It appeared that the prisoner had been requested to con vey a quantity of goods to the house of Mr. W. Mackley, a stationer, residing at No. 69, Tottenham-court-road, on the 2d July last, the prisoner accordingly delivered the ar ticles as desired, for which he received 141. 12s. 2d., he then left the house; but, instead of returning with the mo ney, the prisoner decamped, and no tidings was obtained of him, until last night, when he had the audacity to en gage a lodging at the next house of his mistress, Mrs. Clarke, who, on being informed, that the prisoner was on the spot, an officer was sent for, and given into custody. Several witnesses deposed to the facts of the case, which were clearly made out. The prisoner made no defence, and was fully committed to Newgate on both charges. Mr. MARRIOTT said, by a recent Act of Parliament the offence was made a felony of, and on that he would stand his Vial. SPORTING.-RECEIVED THIS DAY. WARWICK RACES.—TflustsDAy, SEPT. 6. T. G.

The race for the Gold Cup yesterday was a fine treat to the lovers of animated racing. Granby and Euxton alter nately made play at a great rate for three miles, when Granby gave in. Euxton continued the lead till the last turn, when Leviathan reached him, and a severe struggle to the Grand Stand then ensued, when Euxton yielded the contest, being then beat about a length. It is admitted to he the most tremendous race ever run on this course, and was performed in exactly four minutes. Dervise lost a great deal of ground in the second and third mile, which it was impossible for him to recover, though he made an astonishing effort in the last half mile. Much disappoint ment was manifested by the populace at his Majesty's horse being beaten, as a great degree of feeling was excited in his favour. The Leamington Stakes were also well con tested by Garcia and Escape, the latter never being headed till near the end. The death of Mrs. Tomes, the lady of our much-beloved Member, who is the great patron and supporter of these Meetings, cast a gloom over the sports of the day, which even the animated racing that ensued could not entirely dispel. Many of our most distinmtished families in the town and neighbourhood were consequently absent from the Grand Stand ; it was, notwithstanding, well filled ; and, hut for the melancholy event to which we have re ferred, the present Meeting would have far exceeded all preceding ones, both in point of numbers and the respecta bility of those who attended it. The ringing of the church bells, and many other demonstrations of joy which usually mark this annual scene of festivity, were, out of respect to the memory of departed worth, entirely dispensed with.

The bias of, our minds has been, we collie e j rather hostile than otherwise to the several pio jects of emigration, whether from this country or from Ireland, which have been occasionally brought before the public, as cures for a redun dancy of unemployed people. Tt is but fair to state, however,—and we can do it in a single line,—the sort of dilemma to which the practi col part of our objection may be reduced, and to acknowledge that we are not at present prepared to raise any obstacle in the shape of argument as to the efficacy of the cure of pauperism by emi gration, beyond what is to be found affixed upon one horn or the other of the dilemma aforesaid. The datum of the subject then is,—that the mass of poor for whom there exists no employ ment, nor any subsistence except from poor's rate or alms, being so enormous throughout the whole of the United Kingdom, as to press with extreme severity on the nation, to exhibit a rapid and irresistible increase, and to threaten at no remote period the most terrible convulsions, if its growth be unchecked, there must be an ample efflux established for this foul, and turbid, and swelling stream of misery, or it will one day overwhelm the whole community, and make England a wide scene of desolation. Then we say, that if the evil be of such magnitude, and the danger so urgent and so near, your scheme of emigration must be commensurate both in point of extent and expedition. The unem ployed poor in both countries—and those of Ireland who find their way with great facility to every part of Britain—are not estimated at less, we believe, than from a million and a half to two millions. Now an attempt to export and settle beyond sea two millions, or one million, or half a million of men, by a single enterprise, or evenby two or three (at intervals of a year) in suc cession, would be, both in respect of cost and arrangement, impracticable ; and a more gradual and manageable undertaking would no m t ual n :tie t e e ts e ot t om t a h nb e vve evil, if that evil be truly described. We say no thing of the difficulty attending any system of le gislation which would secure the country from an incease of people, arising out of the very vacuum produced by the departure of a given number of poor : that, we are well aware, is a danger which mutt be met by collateral provisions, affecting every part. of our complicated system of poor laws. But the main and immediate difficulty is, the carrying off, and settling in their new abodes, at a fright ful minimum of expense, not short of 10/. for each person, such a number of destitute emi grants as would work at once a sensible relief.— Every one must give up the point, that if them be at home neither employment to yield the la , bourers wherewith to subsist upon, nor land Iwhereon to fix them as cultivator; by which they I may raise their own subsistence, there can be no objection to remove them to a soil on which they may employ and feed themselves, except, Ist, the. cruelty, if they feel it such, of banishing them front the land of their birth ; an pt cl oor 2 tt d bo , er t ut h hs e ee s co e f v ot e rn : e. tax on the community at home, which will be. necessary to pay their passage t o o fm A atih n iel i t e en r n ic ao a nu , esee a ._ n o d f Com missioners n h n ar e g rs e of printed their by order or y d e e a r r's bel-I maintenance.-- However, e t v r e i r d , it o f; appear smerely fbryomtutrnheinrge i pauperaCf after Commons, m t h oen first , effort o b r both t waste na the stree c lands lai above m in g d i t whichf ee 1 t t O h l a n t id c i a n na th da e c h o e u a l r d t tolifrnlirsellia.ndlT, etq:eal,onplyeritlha.ipils,i t r ; e 'a s n u t l e t a m b a e y land be secured, enough, here, without we the repeat, l au t diffithcuatltyo.f three e e same expense r an.

The only wonder is, that these 3,000,000 of acres should never before have occurred to our statesmen as affording the very relief which they wanted —ar k adequate refuge and comfortable settlement for an unemployed and destitute population. There is reason to believe that if the Irish poor be pro vided for, and their frequent and growing migTa-- tions to this country by the same expedient pre vented, the native poor of England herself will give ',comparatively but a moderate share of trouble.--Times. Mr. Robert Owen has returned from America, where he has been for some time experimenting, - and it is understood that he intends shortly to communicate a detailed account of the result of his operations. That men are very much af fected- by the circumstances in which they sr- placed, will hardly be disputed by any one who considers the variety of national and individual character in the world. The same love of ap probation which makes a smuggler or a thief remain faithful to his associates, amidst danger and temptations, might, under other circumetan. ces, make him a hero. The villager, - whose ambition extends only to the beating and baffling the keepers, had he been born a Frenchman, might, in the revolutionary period, when talent and energy alone obtained the ascendancy, have s— e esc e a t e. thate ai m ed Po mare, the South Sea Islander, under whose aus become one of Bonaparte's Marshals.

We may, sa f e l y concede, that th e c h aracter o f man i s greatly mo dified by circumstances. But with all deference to Mr. Owen, we suspect, that under no circum. stancea will man ever become so benevolent an d philanthropic as he ex pects to make will feel there will not always be men who feel the passions of envy, jealousy, and hatred—who will , take fancies for their neighbours wives and dis likes to their own, and act on these passions (the wives having their fancies in turn)--that, in short, the sons of Adam, however enlightened, will ever be able to divest themselves entirely of frailties—. w ill ever be able to divest themselves of their imaginations, the hallucina,. tions of which are at present the incentive to 80 many of their actions. In Mr. Owen's porer over inanimate matter we have the greatest con fidence; a nd we have no doubt that hia villagers will be as admirable for ingenious contrivances to promote convenience, as his spinning machi nery was, from the first, excellently adapted for it s object ; but the affections of the inmates o. his villages will, re fear, ever prove rebellious t. 4
