Its earlier portions are, in a certain sense, pre liminary 'natter, though indispensable to the understanding of the whole. It is this subject which has uniformly fur nished a theme for scurrility to the advocates of prero gative and despotism. One hundred and seventy-six years have now passed over it ; and it is time that it should be made the province of genuine history, of patient enquiry, and sober judgment. Party annalists have skimmed its surface, and passed away, as if poison lurked among its ingredients.

The fair-day exhibited a terrific scene of con fusion. for some time, caused by the refusal of the country people to pay the gate customs and pontage on their return home with their cattle. The rioting first commenced on the bridge ; cattle were- driven furiously forward in large bodies, but the toll-men succeeded in most in stances in obstructing their passage, when bludgeons were actively used on both sides, "and with such effect as to make deep impressions upon the heads of the combatants ; but the un fortunate cattle were the principal sufferers—be hind they were unmercifully beaten by their drivers, and in the front by the toll-men, by which they suffered severe injury, and the loss to the owners must have exceeded by a hundred fold the amount of the toll demanded, not to speakof the cruelty ofthe proceeding. The Mayor at length found it necessary to call for the assistance of the military, in order to prevent the loss of life. which otherwise appeared inevitable. A party of the rifles promptly attended, and were drawn up in Shop-street, under the direction of the civil authori ties;but even theirpresence did not entirely suppress the disturbance, until the Riot Act was twice read by Major FairtlOugh, and the crowd in the street dispersed by the military. Several people were taken up and held to bail for their appearance at' the Sessions ; informations were also taken against some of the constables for alleged violence on their part. It must be admitted on all hands that the Magistrates are acting with the strictest impartiality, their sole object appearing to be the preservation of the peace; they scrupulously ab stain from any interference in the collection of the tolls, leaving the question of right to be decided by a higher tribunal, where we trust it will be brought to issue with the least possible delay. This day the toll-men were repeatedly over• powered, and the military were again called out ; one party is stationed at West-gate, and another in the Tholsel, to be ready in case of necessity. Mr. Nicholas Whitworth, an English merchant residing here, has just been committed to gaol by the Mayor, on a charge sworn against him of exciting the mob to riot this morning at West gate. The Mayor has refused to take bail for his appearance at the Assizes, as he had been previously bound over to keep the peace, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each—Drog heda Journal. STATE OF TRADE.—As we have in this district no public mart where the state of trade can be ascertained with certainty; it is with dif ficulty a . correct account can be given. From the inquiries we have made, we are glad to learn employment is now pretty generally given to the workmen in all branches of the china and earthen ware business, and a better winter trade is ex pected than was anticipated some time since.— Pottery Mercury. A lad about 17 years of age, named Patrick Allen, who was subject to epileptic fits, went to trash his hands in- a stream not six inches deep, at the Priest's Field, near Gaurns, on Sunday morning se'nnight, who having got a fit, as it is supposed, he fell on his face into the water, and was unfortunately suffocated.—Ennis Paper. At the conclusion of the police business at Leek, on Wednesday, a mutiny broke out amongst the prisoners who had been there com mitted. They refused to walk, and were ulti" mately chained to a cart's tail, and thus dragged along Ithe road. One of them, however, con trived to make his escape, and has not since been retaken. On Sunday eveninc , a disgraceful riot took place in Duck-lane, Orchard -street, Westminster. It appears that latterly the Missionary Society have been getting rooms licensed in some of the most depraved places in the metropolis, to preach the Gospel to the inhabitants. Amongst the number, No. 9, Duck-lane, has been licensed by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, but the congregations which assemble are of a most unruly description, and do nothing but laugh and talk during the sermon, make a considerable noise on purpose by stamping with their feet in going up and down stairs, and also swearing. On Sunday night the same disturbance took place, the pastor was interrupted, when some of the party were taken into custody, and constables sent for. A rescue was called, when a scene of confusion took place ; one man was immediately rescued, the windows of the house were smashed, and the constables were covered with mud from head to foot. It is needless to say the service was soon finished. A curious robbery was discovered to have taken place on Wednesday, at Dover. On the arrival of the Sovereign steam-vessel, Captain Haywood, from Boulogne, the officers of the Customs perceived a person of gentlemanly ap pearance, one of the passengers, whom they sus pected of having contraband goods secreted under his trowsers ; he was, therefore, requested to re turn into the cabin of the vessel, where he un derwent a search, and a bag of gold, supposed about 500 sovereigns, was found fastened around the lower part of his leg. He trembled much on being searched, but said be presumed that gold was not subjec't to a duty, and that he had secreted the money from fear of being himself robbed. He had not left the vessel many mi nutes before it was discovered that the bag had been ta lon from a drawer in the vessel ; and though i m mediate . pursuit was made after the h e was not discovered. The loss, it is thief, feared, fall on the owners of the vessel,— llmpshie Chronicle.. a red, must r RECOVERED CLASSICAL WORKS.—MOII - Angelo Mai, the Librarian of the Vatican, who has made so many important discoveries of classical works amongst the manuscr i pts i n th a t volume Library,has of just published a secon d quar to recovered fragment s o f ant i qu i t y ; amongst which are portions of Di o d orus Si cu l us , 134 pages ; of Dion Cassius, 130 pages ; of Polybius, 92 pages ; of Dionysius Harlicar nassus, 61 pages ; of Eunapius, Dozippus, Me nander, Appian, &c.

SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Scer. 1. John Malley was indicted for forging and uttering a certificate of baptism, in order to receive the arrears of a pension of William Hankinson, an out pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, with intent to defraud the Commissioners and Governors of the Hospital. The prisoner handed in a paper, in which "he begged the Court to consider his long services, wounds, and imprisonment, during a period of 22 years and seven months. He enlisted in 1793 in the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, under the late Duke of York, and went with his Royal Highness to the Continent. He was taken prisoner whilst serving under Sir Eyre Coote ; he was ex changed, and then went to Egypt; he was after wards at the Texel, and when discharged he was sergeant. In 1803 he entered as a seaman, and was under Lord Nelson at Toulon; he was in the Ca nopus, at Sir Thomas Duckworth's action in the West Indies, and was afterwards at the Dardanelles, where he was wounded by a splinter from one of the large stones that were thrown by the Turks, and remained in the hospital for four months. He again served under Sir James Yeo, on the Lakes in Upper Canada. He was employed on the 3d of October, 1815, as a watchman, at Manchester, where he remained until he was apprehended." The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom mended him to mercy, for his long services and pre vious good character.—He was then removed. James Dugdale was indicted for uttering to Thomas Hargreaves, at Clitheroe, on the 31st July, a 1/. forged Bank of England note, knowing the same to be forged. Mr. COURTENAY said, the gist of the offence was the guilty knowledge. To bring that home to the prisoner, he should prove that on two other occa- ' sions he uttered other forged Bank of England notes. Thomas Hargreaves said the prisoner was his tenant, and occupied a little place at Bashall-heath, at Si. a year. He was 6!. in arrear. He fixed to pay the rent on the 31st July, and came to witness on that day, but paid him only 1/. It was a Bank of England note. The prisoner said it was all he could spare. Witness gave the note to Jonas Hut hersill. Jonas Huthersill, farmer, marked the note, and kept it till he presented it to the Preston bank. Matthew Standen, a publican at Clitheroe, proved that the prisoner on the 31st of July came to his house and had a quart of ale and a gill of rum, which came to, Is. 11d., for which he pa►d ►n a 1/. Bank of England note, and received the change. Witness marked the note. He had some suspicions, but never knew any thing against the prisoner. John Walton, of Milton, publican, sold the prisoner two pigs for 275. on the 10th August, for which he paid in a 1/. Bank of England note, two half-crowns, and two shillings. Baldwin, the constable, came for the note that night, and witness gave them to him. Sarah Walton saw the prisoner:give the note to her husband. Cross-examined—She had known the prisoner all her life-time, but never knew any thing against him. Joshua Freeman, inspector of notes to the Bank of England, proved the whole of the notes to be forgeries in every particular. The prisoner loudly and sulkily protested his in nocence, but did not seem to know what to say. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Hare you any witnesses ? The prisoner—No. A man from the crowd at the back of the Court got up, and said he could speak for the prisoner. Mr. Justice BAYLEY recalled Hargreaves and exa mined him. Hargreaves said the prisoner had a. cow and some sheep. • I saw four of the sheep on the 31st of July. They were worth pounds or guineas a piece. I might have seen his cow, but I don't recollect. The sheep were not sold when I saw him. Wm. Bayley, of the township of Bashall, farmer, said he had known the prisoner all his lifetime, and gave him a good character. The prisoner had a small farm of about 18 acres. Witness was not at Clitheroe on the 31st of July, and he was then in the Court by accident. C ro ss-examined by Mr. COURTESAY.—Witness never knew of the prisoner having a bad note, or a b a d shilling; he never heard any thing against the prisoner before. Matthew Standen recalled.--I did not see that the prisoner had any goods at the market. The market is far off from us, and I was not there. — Verdict " Not guilty." Mr. Justice BAYLEY—I should have found the same verdict. The prisoner owed his acquittal to the humanity and patience of the Judge. He could not read, and h appear e d to b e i n t h e l owe st stage, of ignorance. He ad pr epared no d e f ence , a nd it was only from being pressed by his Lordship that he gave the account of his havin g been at market; and it was owing to the acciden t of Willi am Bayley being in Court that he was pro ve d to b e a small farmer. His manner and look app eared that of a man who thought himself very much injured. William Clarke, William Johnson, and J o h n Sulli van, w ere put to t h e bar and arraigned f or severa l highway robberies at Liverpool. The prisoners all cried very much ; Johnson and Sullivan pleaded Guilty." 'Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Johnson and Sunk an, pleading guilty will not assist you, you had better plead not guilty. They, however, persisted in pleading guilty. — Clarke was then put to the bar, charged with the other two men with robbing Mr. Edmund York, a gauger in the Custom-house at Liverpool.

John Tilston was in company with Sarah Harris on Sunday night, the 21th of June • had drunk ale, and got middling fresh. I was walking by the New I m arket. I saw no one come up, but I was snocked down, with the fist I believe, and hands were put upon my mouth. I lost my watch and seal. I was in a public-house before, and two men were there, but 1 can't say they were the prisoners. Sarah Harris.—Tilston and I went to Reed's public-house, and afterwards to the Dutch Cheese; we had two quarts of The two prisoners came in, and went out before us. I went out with Til ston. We passed near the New-market. Sullivan came up the first, and knocked Tilston down with his fist. Johnson, Clarke, and Smith came up. I went away, and did not see that they did the mis chief. I did not see them nearer than 20 yards; but shortly after, when I was at the bottom of the street, they all passed me, and I heard Sullivan say to the others, " Let us run, I have got the watch." I had seen them together with Johnson and Sulli van several times in Dale -street, but never spoke to them. John Daniel said he was an apprentice with Crossthwaite, pawnbroker. Sullivan, on the 25th of June last, came to pledge a watch. The watch produced is the same watch. Tilston said it was his watch and chain. Verdict—Both Guilty. Mr. CLARK, the Recorder, said there was another street robbery committed with greater violence, quite in the streets of Liverpool : but as they were all convicted or pleaded guilty, he should offer no evidence. It was unsafe to walk at night in Li verpool. The prisoners were then removed ; but before going, Clarke, who had been crying the whole time, asked for his watch. Mr. Justice BAYLEY refused it; and said, " I am sorry you have so little feeling as to be thinking of a watch now." THE HA RVEST.—On Monday morning last, the first shearing market for the eastern district of Stirling shire, was held at Falkirk. The number of hands, as was anticipated, was by far too numerous, and as not above half a dozen farmers were present, very few were hired.— Throughout the week several fields of oats have been cut, and likewise some wheat, but in general the crops in the Carses will require to stand ten days longer, the late most weather having retarded the filling. The moor lands have seldom looked in such rich condition as at present, and a few days of our present dry weather will cover every field with stooks. Potatoes, which at first were considered hurt by the rain, are decidedly improved, and will be an abundant and excellent crop. The fruit this season, although plentiful, is not the best as to quality. Pears and apples are very small, and will be late in ripen ing. Jargonells are two-thirds smaller than last year, and every kind of wall-fruit, from the want of sunshine, is in inferior in flavour.—Scotsman. THE WEATHER.—There have been severa showers during the week, and though they arrested the operations of the reapers for the hour, they had no effect on the general business of the harvest, and, to repeat the words of an aged farmer, "it has been a delightful week baitb for filling and ripening." Not only has a great deal of grain been cut down in this quarter since Saturday, but the valuable produce of many fields has been snugly lodged in the stack-yard, beyond-the ordinary contingencies of the weather. The farmers in this neighbourhood have hitherto given a decided preference to residenters, people with whom they - had been long acquainted, to whom they in general gave a shilling and two diets a day. Though many of the starving Irish offered to work for their meat alone, they were rejected, and not a few of the high-minded Gaels, disdaining even to . witness such a degrading competition, forthwith set out for their native hills and glens.—. Scotsman. ROBBERY BY Two SOLDIERS.—On Sun day night last a very audacious robbery was committed upon the person of Richard Mansell, a servant, we believe, of Mr. Hardman's, who resides at Pendleton. The young man, it appeared, had spent the afternoon with two gre nadiers of the 56th Regiment of Foot, now stationed in the Salford barracks, with whom he remained at the Bull's Head until eight o'clock, when being desirous of returning home, he asked them if they would bear him company.— The soldiers, whose names are Patrick Leary and J. Jones, consented, and they set out across the fields. When they had proceeded about a mile and a half, Mansell said that he had occasion to call at a house that lay on the road side, and was on the point of turning up a lane which led to it, when both soldiers laid hold of him, and said he should not leave their company, since they had enlisted him, and were determined to take him to the sergeant.— , Mansell knowing this to be a falsehood, struggled violently to regain his liberty, but to no purpose ; they flung him down, took his watch from his fob, and ran off. Mansell pursued them and seized Leary by the lap of the coat. Leary immediately drew his bayonet, and pointing it at his breast, swore that if lie made a noise he would 'run him through. After this threat, of course, Mansell relinquished his hold, and the soldiers ran off. By the advice of a gentleman, who lived near the spot, Mansell re paired to the barraCks, and reported the circumstance to .the sergeant of the guard. Leary and Jones were absent that night when the roll was called over, but on the fol lowing day Leary who was still absent from the barracks, was taken into custody, Mansell having particularly de scribed his person, though he was not so clear as to the identity of Jones. On Monday two women pawned a watch at the shop of Mr. Bradshaw, and said it belonged to a man named John Murphy, who lived at the Salford barracks. It was afterwards ascertained, through the activity of the police, that on Monday afternoon Jones was met in Deansgate by a man of the name of Warrener, quite tipsy, and his trousers bloody. Warrener ad vised him to go to the barracks, but he refused to do so, observing that his time was not up. He then produced a pawn-ticket of a watch, and offered to sell it to Warrener for 165., the amount which, he observed, he had received upon the article. Warrener being desirous to see the watch before he purchased it, the parties went to Mr. Braelshaw's, when Jones was taken into custody—the pawnbroker having heard that the watch had been stolen. On being asked if he chose to say how the ticket came into his possession, he said that he had received it from his comrade Leary. The tIo prisoners were taken before the sitting Magistrate at the New Bailey Court House, when evidence being adduced sufficient to satisfy the mind of the Magistrate that the case ought to go before a Jury, they weiv atthe A fully co s m ai m zes. itt_edßtoolloLnan;sxpss. Lancaster, to take their trials there On Sunday morning, between si% and seven o'clock, Webb Bennett, Esq., of Ringmer, near this town, met with the following accident, whilst out partridge shooting. The unfortunate gentleman had occasion to get over a gate, which he accomplished, leaving his gun on the oppo site side, and afterwards in drawing it through the bars of the gate, with the muzzle towards him, the lock hung by the way, and discharged the piece, when Mr. Bennett received the con tents in the upper part of the lower arm, which shot away a considerable portion of its integu ments and sinews. Medical aid was with all possible speed procured, and every attention paid to the wounded gentleman, who was considered yesterday as going on well, and great hopes en tertained that amputation will not be deemed ne cessary.—Sussex Advertiser.

Here we have simple mild broths, sea soned, perhaps, with herbs of the field, decoc tions of pulse, barley-cake, and the kid seethed in milk. I pass over the ages of Rome and Greece, and confine myself to the Gothic and Celtic tribes, among whom gradually emerges what I shall call the chivalrous or feudal age of cookery—the wild boar roasted whole, the stately crane, the lordly swan, the full-plumaged pea cock, borne into the feudal hall by troops of vassals, to the flourish of trumpets, warlike in struments, marrow bones and cleavers." " Bravo !" cried Jekyl. " Cookery, as a domestic art, contributing to the comfort and luxury of private life, had made considerable progress in England before the Re formation; which event threw it back some cen turies.

From this altar were re-kindled the culinary fires o f episcopal palaces, which had smouldered for a time ; and gastronomy once more raised her parsley-wreathed front in Britain, and daily gained an increase of devoted, if not yet en lightened, worshippers."

On Saturday night between- nine and ten o'clock, a part of the extensive premises of Messrs. Collopp and Co., cloth-dyers, at Old Ford, were discovered to be on fire : an alarm was immediately given, when a powerful engine belonging to the proprietors, which was alwals kept in the concern, together with those belong ing to the parish, was put into requisition, and by a plentiful supply of water, the devouring ele ment was confined to that wing of the building, in which it originated, and in which there were a considerable quantity of cloths, which were entirely consumed.
