EMI GRATION. --- Several families have left Warwick Bridge and other villages in the vicinity of this city, and others are preparing to follow their example, to embark for America. They proceed to Canada in the first instance. The numbers about to emigrate this year from all parts of the country are great beyond any period within our recollection. Emigrants to the United States should provide themselves with gold, as it bears a pre mium of 8 per cent. above the currency at any port of debarkation. They should not burtnen themselves with luggage, wearing apparel only excepted.—. Carlisle Journ. FLY-FISHING.—We understand that the no tice recently issued by the owners of some of the fisheries cn the Eden, to prohibit fly-fishing, is likely to prove eon-effective, Some of the owners of fisheries higher up the river have refused to join in prosecuting the harmless angler, unless the issuers of the notice will enter into a bond not to kill whitings,—which are really young salmon --the destruction of which does injury to a. hundred•fold the amount of all that the anglers can possibly do, how ever numerous that class 'nay be. A curious calculation was made some Years ago by a gentleman well versed in fishery statistice, to prove the immense laving that would accrete to the fishery-owners were they to refrain from kill ing whitings. The amount is so great that we refrain from naming it at present, lest it should have the appear ance of gross exaggeration ; but we hope soon to be fur nished with the calculation s and the data upon which they were founded, and will then enter more fully into the par • ticulars. The question is one of great interest.— Carlisle • Journal. It is reported that two ships laden with Con greve rockets have sailed from the river Thames, bound to Algiers, where they mean to land their cargoes in . spite of the blockading squadron, either at Algiers itself, or at least at some part ofthe coast, from whence they may he easily conveyed to the warlike city, to burn, sink, and destroy the French fleet, wherever it should approach within eannan shot. It is added, that artillery men, in disguise, have proceeded to the same destination, and that it is hoped that the successful resistance of the Al eerines may for a long period to come clamp the aspirations of the French navy. Great doubts, however, are entertained of the poosibility of such a shipment being made without the knowledge and acquiescence of Government ; and sotfillhi e,reateri scepticism prev a il s as to t h e pro b a bility a Power rters permitti ng such succour being given to tain. It is n ' t War with one of the Allies of Great Bri moreover asserted that, notwithstanding the favourable report ' • t.ven in the French papers respecting meets trials of Congreve rockets at T I all the experi eu on, ;rents have failed, and that c onsequently England remains in the exclusive possess' to o of these formidable projec ile3...—Aforning Paper, LAW INULLIGENCE.--(TIIIS DAT). HOUSE OF LORDS. The House eat on Scotch Appeals to-day. ROSE V. DAUMMOND• The question in this appeal ;;;,whether an estate btrictly enttiled in the terms of the Entail Statute of 1685 could be made liable for debts contracted by the heir of the entail in possession, although no attempt was made to render them real upon the estate by adjudication until after the right of the heirs substitute in the entail had been fully completed in terms of the Statute. Mr. JEFFERY was addressing the House on the part of the appellant when we left. The Lnrds present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ELDON, Lord ARO Y NE, and the Bishop of RA PHOE. ROLLS COURT. The M.Avrxe. of e Ror.r..s sat at the Guildhall, West minster, to-day. His Honour was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard case of the Attorney-General v. the Corporation of Stafford. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICIC-CHANCILLOA took motions to day, but no case of any public importance came before the Court previous to our leaving it. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court this morning proceeded with motions for new trials, of which the paper contains a list of 73. COLLINS V. CODEFItOY. Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, or a verdict entered for the plaintiff. It was an action tried at Guild hall, before Lord Tenterden, and was brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, to 'recover the sum of six guineas for loss of time, It appeared on the trial that Mr. Collins had been subpoenaed by the defendant as a witness in a cause in which he (Mr. Godefroy) was plaintiff. He, in consequence, attended the Court of Common Pleas for six successive days, for which he charged one guinea per day. On application to the defendant I.e refused to pay it, and an action was brought to recover the sum, in which the plaintiff was nonsuited, the Judge holding that the statute did not allow of an attorney bringing an action for loss of time. Mr. Campbell now contended, that the statute allowed compensation for loss of time to attorneys and medical men. Lord TENTERDEN—The declaration was for loss of time, and the only question for us to consider is, whether or not the Court have power to give it. Mr. CAatrattr.L—li is a question of very great import ance to the profession. Lord TENTICADEN-It was such an action that no wise man would have thought of bringing. Mr. CAMPBELL felt confident there was nothing in the statute to prevent the Court giving compentation for loss of time. If an attorney was obliged to leave bis office for days together, it might prove his ruin. Mr. Justice BAILEY—You may say the same of every other man, Mr. Campbeil. In answer to a question by the Court, one of the Mas ters said they never allowed for loss of time to gentlemen, clergymen, or merchants. The COURT, after some consultation, granted a rule to show cause. ILARSMALL V. This was an action to recover the sum of 11/. 19i. was tried at Worcester. Verdict for defendant. Mr. CAMPBELL now moved for a rule to chew cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence. He would not trouble the Court with particulars, but read an affidavit relating to an expression made use of by the defendant at the time of trial. On being told that the verdict would be against him, be replied, " Oh no, Alinshull (one of the Jury) will not have it so, he knows all about it." The affidavit then went on to stilt! that Minshull was observed to be very active in the jury box. Lord TENTERDIN—Take a rule to show cause. Rule granted. ROYAL ACADEMY.-(THIS DAY.) The sixty-second exhibition of the Royal Academy opened this morning at twelve o'clock. The rush to gain admittance at that hour was greater than we ever re mesnber to have seen it. In about ten minutes after the doors were thrown open, the majority of the rooms were filled. The company, as usual, was of the most select order. As an exhibition, this may be pronounced as good as any of former years, with the exception of the full-length portraiture, in which we miss the abilities of the late President. No. 63. PORTRAIT OF KING GEORGE IV. IN NIS ROYAL TA RTAN—Witriz—ls not in this great artist's best style. The character of the painting is what artists call woolly and undetermined. In addition to this, it is neither in face, figure, nor age, the resemblance of his Majesty. The alleles, which are surrounded by the only light in the picture, and which, in fact, seems as if thrown on them by the rays of a police lanthorn, are much too thin for the body they have to sustain. 71. PORTRAIT OF LADY BELFAST—SIR TIIO}IA s LA WRENC E. —This is decidedly the moat beautiful female portrait in the Exhibition. The head and neck have re ceived the finishing touches, but the back ground is left unfinished. 104. PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN—T. PHILLIPS.— The artist has chosen an unhappy time to catch the ex presiion of this anonymous gentleman, who, it is evident, from the character of his features, has just taken a brisk emetic. 105. PASSAGE POINT—A. W. CALcorr.—A fine composition, breathing a warm Italian atmosphere. It is Calcott's best effort. 114. PORTRAIT OF MISS FRY.-Sir T. LAWRENCE.— A spirited and graceful portrait, full of life and vivacity. The black ringlets are glossy, luxuriant and easy iu their disposition ; the eye is full of fire, and the turn of the neck replete with elegance. 124. JUDITH.—Mr. E7TY.—If six good inches could be taken off her person both in breadth and length, she would, we conceive, be marvellously improved: at present she is what Swift calls " a strapper," nothing more. The colouring, however, is forcible, and the chiaro oscuro well arranged and striking. This artist's smaller pictures, of which there are one or two specimens in the present exhi. bitien, are beautiful. Mr. Etty should keep to cabinet size. 1169. STATUE OF HERCULES AGOWISTES.--NICHOLL. —A huge lump of muscle and deformity, true neither to nature nor art. 125. GEORGE IV. at HOLYROOD HOUSE, IN 1822. This painting, though from circumstances it attracts a crowd, is scarcely worthy of the pencil of Wilkie. The likeness of Sir W. Scott is the best in the whole group. The posture of the kneeling Duke of Hamilton is painful to look at. He appears straining to reach his Majesty, and according to all the laws of specific gravity should fall forward. 18 LRILLESTIRNA—Tuarm.—A glorious composition. There is a species of poetic enchantment about it, that at once rivets the imagination. All is dreamy, splendid, and full of a rich, radiant, atmosphere. How an artist who could paint a picture like this, could deface the canvas by such a picture as that of Jessica,- (226) is to us inconceivable. 192. SCENE FROM TILL RED ROVER...—DANIELL.-.-A most impressive and striking performance. No. 24.3. PORTRAIT OF J. G LOCKHART, Esq.— PICKERSGILL—A gentlemanly, animated, and well-painted portrait. As a likenes+, it is capital. 284. MOUNT ST. MICHAEL, CORNWALL-...STANFIELD. —The sea, and the boat which is running up towards the Mount, as if to avoid an approaching storm, are admirably painted. The Mount itself forms a very impressive feature in the view. 313. PORTRAIT OF THE DUKE OF ATHOL', E. LANDSEER.—The animals are the redemption of this picture. They are fully equal to any thing that Snyders has ever painted. 1,173. MUSIDORA.—R. W. Sirtvirm.—A truly chaste and graceful production, with a feminine softness in the countenance, and an case in the position of the figure that strike at once to the heart. 1172. DEVOTION—Gorr.—A pretty little composi tion, characteristic of its subject. 1270. A MONUMENT, REPRZSENTIN'G BISHOP HEBER BLESSING TWO HINDOOS--CHANTRY..--OBE of Chantry's happiest efforts. _ (To be continued.) DOVER, MAY 2.—Lady COMBERMERE landed here this morning from Boulogne with her family, in the expectation of Lord COMBERaIRRE'S early arrival from India. She came in the Royal George, Capt. HAYWARD. DESTRUCTrON of A CHAPEL AND TWo Houszs BY Frarc.—This forenoon, about one o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the bottom part of a Dissenting Chapel in Little St. Bartliolumew's-close, near Smithfield, which raged with such alarming rapidity, that before any means could be had to quell it the whole building was one body of fire. Two neighbouring houses were also burnt. Tl4l MONTHLY MILITARY OBITUARY. GENERALS.—Sir H. Dalrymple, Col. of 57 F. Govel nor of Black. ness Castle; Mann, Roy. Eng. lnsp.

WOODCOCK.—There was seen on Saturday the 24th current, by Mr. CUTLER, forester to the flight Honourable the Earl of MottAy, in the forests of Darn way, a woodcock with four young ones. —Elgin Courier. Information was given at Marlborough-street office on Thursday, by Madame VESTRIS, of a robbery in her residence by her footman. It appeared that, after driving her to Drury-lane in a cabriolet, he left her to re turn as she pleased, contrary to orders. On arriving home she missed her purse, containing three 101. notes, 28 sovereigrs, and some jewellery, from her drawing-room, to which she learned he obtained admittance in her absence, under some pretext. He has not yet been discovered. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MOTHER A•ND FIER Two CHILDREN FROM STARVATION.—Three fellow creatures have perished in this neighbourhood, th e victims of hunger and cold. A poor woman with her tw o children, driven by griping poverty to seek that sustenance which nature wants, by begging for it amongst the humane and charitable, i■ making her way from one village to another, had to pass through a tract of unsheltered bog, about six or seven miles to the north-east of Killarney; in the centre of which they were found by a countryman on Sunday morning, lifeless corpses, having in all proba. bility been so, since the preceding Friday, which wa s here a lather severe and bitter day. They were strangers here, and were not recognized, save as having been seen during the previous week begging from Louse to house in the usual manner, and it is supposed that the poor woman, exhausted from previous suffering and want, had not suffi cient strength to make her way in the tempestuous weather through the bleak moor, but sunk down mid-way, to rise DO more. The poor little innocents who accompanied her, being out of view of any house and unable to act of themselves, sat down with her, and night overtaking them, they perished together. The spectacle presented by the clay-cold group, and the conviction to the beholder of the manner of their death, was irresistibly affecting. The mother of the little family, a rather young woman of mild and interesting fea tures, lay extended on her back at full length as if asleep ; supported in her right arm, on which it rested, lay the body of her younger child, a female about four years old, and with its face downwards ; across the parent's knees, as if embracing them, lay a fine boy apparently of the age of eight years. The scene was indescribably moving and heart-rending. Their habiliments were wretched and ragged, denoting extreme destitution and poverty of no re cent date; the scanty and miserable attire of the whole three being scarcely sufficient to give shelter to a single limb. What a crying and • cruel sin that some parochial refuge is not afforded in cases of such utter and helpless deprivation ! An inquest being held, and all the circum stances investigated as far• as possible, the Jury returned a verdict of " Died of cold and exhaustion."-- Tralee Mercury. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—It is this week our painful duty to record the death of five individuals, occasioned by the upsetting of a boat belonging to his Majesty's ship Britomart. About one o'clock on Wed nesday afternoon the First Lieutenant of the Britornart, lying in the Sound, ordered Mr. CHARLKS FRANILYN, a volunteer of the second class, of that ship, and son of Mr. THOMAS FRANKLIN, spirit-merchant, Fore-street, to proceed in the second gig, a vessel about twenty-two feet in length, with the boat's crew, to Longroom Point, to bring the officers on shore off to dinner. Between three and four DANIEL BIRK, a private of the 73d regiment, stationed on Drake's Island, saw what he took to be a boat, apparently in distress, near Mount Edgcumbe, but shortly after he saw several things floating on the water, and he called another soldier of the same regiment to see what it was, and they supposed they were casks, the whole of which disappeared about twenty minutes aftewards,with the exception of the largest object. Ten minutes after this they saw a boat making towards it, which afterwards proved to belong to the Breakwater light vessel, in which were two risen, who observed, in their way to the vessel, a hat floating in the water at the easternsost end of the bridge ; they afterwards saw a boat full of water near the eastern end of the island, with her sail across the st e rn and her mast over the starboard side. They made to wards her, and on reaching her found a man with his feet and knees in the belly of the boat, his head and shoulders hanging over the middle into the water ; they immedi ately took the man, who was quite dead, into their own boat, and taking the ship's gig in tow proceeded to the Undaunted, lying in Barnpool, where they delivered the body. The officer in command immediately sent a boat for the surgeon of the ship, who was on shore, and about a quarter of an hour after that gentleman came on board, when every means was resorted to for the recovery of the body without effect. This poor man whose name is W. Gum, is the only one yet picked up. An inquest was held on his body last evening at the workhouse, Stone house, when a verdict of "Found Drowned, but by what means not known," was returned. Mr. FRANKLYN'S family are thrown into the greatest distress. —Devonport Telegraph. TiTE KING'S HEALTH. (From the Court Circular.) The 13ulletin of hi: MAJESTY'S health issued yestepla , ,, was as follows : " Windsor Castle, Msy 2. " The KING'S symptoms have not varied. His MA - JESTY has passed another bad night. (s►gnwl) " HENRY HALFORD. " AIAT f HEW J. TIERNEY." The following Bulletin was issued on Saturday:— " Windsor Castk, May 1. " The KING felt himself better all yesterday, but I MAJESTY has passed but an indifferent night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY The Duke of WELLINGTON came to the Palace yesterda: and on Saturday, and remained some time on both days. Earl MOUNTCIIARLE3 left the Palace on Saturday erer.. ing for London. Both the Physicians still remain in close attendance on the KING. Copies of the Bulletins were forwarded to the Duke of CLLRENCE and ethers of the Royal Family. It was understood in Ministerial circles, that on Satin day his MAJESTY experienced a change for the better; but it appears, by the Bulletin issued yesterday, that it has not been lasting. The Bulletin was shown to the nobility and gentry on Saturday in the Presence Chamber, at the King's Palace, St. James's, by Earl Howe, as Lord is Waiting ; Mr. HOPE, as Groom in Waiting; and Sir H. VIVIAN, as Equerry to his MAJESTY. Yesterday the Bulletin was shown by Lord ST. dELENS, who came into waiting yesterday : General FINCH was Groom, and Sir H. VIVIAN the Equerry. The Ball-room was thrown open for the reception of the company, and they returned by the entr. Eie throng was very great on both days, especially yes terday, and a number of persons were collected each day at the entrance to the Palace previous to the doors being opened, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Bulk tin. During the time that the Bulletins were shown, there was a constant influx of the nobility and gentry, many of whom entered their names. (From the Morning Journal.) The Bulletin of yesterday unhappily informs us that— " The KING'S symptoms have not varied. His MA JESTY has passed another bad night." This distressing information will, of necessity, create great alarm throughout the country. His MAJESTY'S physicians have been, for the first time, somewhat ex plicit. It is with the deepest regret we find them com municating melancholy intelligence in terms that canrwt be misunderstoonl. Their jesuitical style can be continued no longer. The KING of England is, however, in the hands of the KING of KINGS, and most devoutly do we pray, in common with every subject of the realm, that GEORGE THE FOURTH may yet be spared to rule over us. The Spanish and Bavarian Ministers had in terviews on Saturday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign Office. The Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England had a conference with the Duke of WELLINGTON and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on Friday, at the Treasury. Viscount MELVILLE and the Earl of ABER DEEN visited the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday after noon, at the Treasury, after the return of his Grace from Windsor. MAY-DAY FETE AT HOLLY-LODGE.— Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S en tertained a large party of fashionables at their beautiful villa, Holly-lodge, near Highg,ate, on Saturday. The company bean to a , semble between one and two o'clock. An Evening Paper mentions that it was the anniversary of their marriage, but this is incorrect—their wedding day comes later in the year. Yesterday, being the first Sunday in Easter Term, the Judges, accompanied by the Serjeants-at-Law and King's Counsel, attended divine service at St. Paul's. The learned personages were escorted by the City Mar shals from Serjeant's-inn to the Cathedral, where they were met by the procession of the Lord Mayor and Cor poration of London. The sermon was preached by his Lordship's Chaplain, the Rev. SAMUEL SMITH. The Judges present on the occasion were the Chief Justice of tic COMMON PLEAS, Mr. Justice BATLEY, Sir JAMBS ALLAN PARK, Mr. Justice GASELEE, Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, and Mr. Baron BOLLAND. On Saturday the members of the Royal Academy gave their Anniversary Dinner at the apart ments in Somerset House, which was attended by a nume rous assemblage of guests of the first rank and talent, among whom were the French, American, Hanoverian, Prussian, Spanish, Brazilian, Swedish, Danish, Bavarian, Sardinian, Wurtemberg, Netherlands, and Saxon Mini ' sters ; Dukes of NORFOLK, SOMERSET, ARGYLE : Mar quisses CAMDEN, LANSDOWNE ; the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, ABERDEEN, ESSEX, GREY, COWPER, HARROWBY, DARTMOUTH, GOWER, MORLEY, BROWN LOW, DA RN LEY; Lords GODE RICH, HILL, HOL LAND, NORTHWICH, DURHAM, FARNEOROUGIr, DE DUNSTA NYILLE, and F.

Captain MARRYAT'S Tale of die Sea (THE KING'S OWN) is now, we believe, just ready for publica thin. The author is likely to prove a formidable competitor of COOPER. Scarcely any of our late naval stories have carried mettle enough to dispute the supremacy of the transatlantic novelist, but the strength, the smart sailing, and the bravery of " THE KING'S owN" are likely to cause a hard struggle with the American. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The Committee of this theatre had appointed Saturday, at twelve o'clock, to receive tenders, and decide on the person who should become the future lessee. Up to a late period of the morning but one tender had been sent in ; but on the Committee assembling there were, it is said, no less than six offers. We are credibly informed that Mr. CHARLES WRIGHT, the box-office-keeper, offers 9,0001. per an num, and that Mr. Busx, who came from Dublin for the purpose, has made an offer of 8,0001. Among the candidates are, we understand, KEAN, WALLACK, and BaAHAM. The day for the acceptance of one of these gentlemen is fixed for next Saturday week. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-011 Saturday evening a new grand historical opera was brought out with great splendour and effect, under the title of Hofer the Tell of the Tyrol. R. H. Bisime, so successful in t h e adaptation of Rossi Ni's music to the English stage, has in this instance worked upon the celebrated opera of Guillaume Tell. The beautiful productions of that great master in 'William Tell, are judiciously introduced to the public, and it is almost unnecessary to add that an exquisite treat is provided for the lovers of practical t rum T en h t e s music. The opera not only c ompre h ends the melodious union , but the dan ce , ge •t ure , poetry, scenery and dresse s are m agnificent, and we may s a y, t h ere is nothing wanting to and sciences. and i n s charm the sight and the ear. The house was crowded almost to suffocation. A mo re b r illi ant an d enl i ghtened a uditory has not been seen wi t hi n the wa ll s o f O l d D rury. In order to make the music of IVilli am T e ll a pply t o a subject equally exalted, the hi s t ory o f t h e T yro l ean P atr i ot of d a voicesh IloFxn has been selected. SPLENDID ME TEOL—About twelve o'clock on Monday night a large awl beautiful meteor was seen from Cheltenham, falling from an immense height per pendicularly towards the earth. It presented the ap pearance of a globe of fire about the size of the moon when at full, and during the few seconds it was visible, the summits and sides of Leckhampton and the adjacent hills were clothed in the silvery light produced by so mag nificent and brilliant a phenomenon. During the greater part of its rapid descent the flame was of a blueish white, a nd remarkably vivid ; b ut as i t approac h e d t h e h orizon it became a deep re d, although the night was clear and starlight. —Monmouth Merlin. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The brewers have published what they call their ease, ant! a bad eit is, being alike impudent and feeble. They teil its that the monopoly in the sale of beer has nut been a wrong to the consumer, and why ? Because the " Golden-Imo and other soh scription breweries" have failed ; while the 01 t London brewers have succeeded. Very true : iu the first place, who, in his senses, ever hoped that brewing by subscription would answer, in comptf tion with private partnerships ? The business of a company will never be so well done, whether it be a traffic in tea or in rater, as that which is carried on by one or two individuals exclusively interest,' in the pretits.— •Secondly, the Golden-lane, or other " subscription" breweries, had to fight against a double monopoly—the monopoly of public-house, trul the great parent monopoly of all—that of the bench of magistrates. if a Golden-lane proprietor, or his connection, wanted to pro cure a licence, he would be refused as a matter of course. If a great,private brewer interested himself on behalf of any applicant for a licence, he applied to some good friend or neighbour on the Bench, and the job was settled in a moment, It is unfair, therefore, to attack a free trade in beer on the ground that those who formerly endeavoured to conduct it were unable to stand the competition of the regular brewers, when the filet is, that the foe which overwhelmed them was the monopoly of tho•e brewers, and the impossibility of finding any inde pendent ale-house-keepers who durst buy beer at Golden-lane. The argument is precisely that of the tea-monopolists in Leadenhall-street, who tell the nation that it would be quite foolish to attempt a tea-trade through any medium but that of the Company, seeing that the Company fetch home su perior tea, and on better terms, than would be pos sible for other merchants. The answer in both is simply this—" We should like, may it please your wisdoms, to judge for ourselves; and if you really have better tea or porter for the same money, a cor responding preference will be shown to your article; "so what right can you have to complain ?" Then comes vested interest I—a vested interest in the abuse and perversion of the law ! That at least will scarcely be listened to by Parliament, which has legislated so that licences must be renewed from year to year : we should wish to learn, therefore, what compensation ought to be afforded to a tenant trt will for the loss of his fugitive interest ? But the Scotch system of ea-y licences is, it seems, a demoralizing system, and the Scotch are a more demoralizes! people than the English, because the licensing of public-howes is not so profitably jobbed in that country between brewers and magistrates as here ! and they who put forth such a theory as part of their case, do it apparently with the gravest wanner in the world, as if they had not been swill ing more than half a dozen pots of their own strong liquor while they composed it. We certainly shall vote for the utmost latitude being given to every man in advocating what he considers his own cause, for cure we are, that the worse the cause, the more will it suffer from discussion. Let it not, however, be understood that our view of the principles which ought to regulate the beer trade involves the slightest censure on those who have the misfortune to be publicans, as a body. We be lieve very. many of them to be upright individuals, and exceedingly charitable and humane. When we state that- the people suffer from the monopoly of the beer trade, it is with a full conviction on our minds that the brewer's tenants, who possess rather in name than truth a share even of the advantage of that monopoly, are in most cases more sinned against than sinning; and that they are, from the same causes as their customers, victims to the Le viathans who levy on them enormous rents, hardly, if at all, consistent with fair dealing to the drinkers of beer, and with justice at the same time to their own families.—Times. CASE OF THE BREWERS AND PUBLICANS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) 1. Monopoly is objected to as a principle and more particularly in this question, from being supposed to influence the price and quality of so important an article as beer, unfavourable to the consumers. To this objection I answer, that I he question has survi v ed m a ny severe tests of united opposition and inquiry, as instanced by the Golden-lane and other subscription breweries, where every in vestment, however large, was lost. The recent intermediate and retail systems have failed, whether as to quantity of business, or, price and quality of the beer. These circumstances taken in con nexion with the Parliamentary inquiry in 1828, tend to prove that the profits of the brewery have not been large. Extending our view to Scotland, where licenses have hitherto been obtained without limitation, the freedom of trade has not induced a con sumption of more than six barrels and a fraction per year in each public-house, as per Parliamentary returns; it is full 30 per cent. dearer than in England, in consequence of the small trade to each house, and has not won the Seotchmen from their favourite whiskey. 2. But the large breweries must be attacked : it has been uni. formlyso whenever the question has been agitated. Answer.—'They are open to the same objection as the large woollen manalactures, the iron -works, or the cotton lords. Wherever large capitals arc employed with the talent necessary for conducting extensive concerns, and the consequent small profits oil large returns, the smaller adventurers cannot come in competition with them ; but the public reap the advantage of the lower prices attendant on the system, and no where more so th an in the public breweri es , which are admitted to supply that pa r t o f the kingdom within their reach, from 45 to 30 per cent. cheaper than where they do not supply the consumers. 3. Objected, that the licensing system is bad in theory of com merce ; and not being a vested right, is liable to be changed or removed at pleasure. Answer —By inquiring where an absolute vested right exists, they arc all conditional and liable to chance; but the questions of compensation, or progressive arrangement, are here brought into action. My freehold may be taken tOr some speculative im provement, for a money compensation, that but ill supplies the place of the property taken. The tithes have not proved vested right, when Harry VIII. laid his paw upon them ; but the free hold and the patent place, perhaps created and given for ques tionable purposes, obtain pecuniary compensation ; and other interests depending on Parliamentary arrangements, get time and progressive changes to meet the necessity of the parties con cerned, as has been instanced in the cases of the East India Company and slave trade. Tlie licensed houses have their share of claim to the character of vested right, having been acted upon as such for nearly four centuries, in the face of and with the implied sanction of Go verinnent : it has induced nearly 60,000,0001. of property to be embarked by upwards of 50,000 families in connection with it. To change a system under such circumstances, requires more deliberation than a revolutionary principle which pulls down, under the influence of popular clamour, what it will be glad to reinstate on the morrow if practicable. Speculative experi ments will dangerously affect large interests, and should not be resorted to where precedent can be called in aid of the judg ment. The Scotch system is the nearest parallel case, and if correctly stated in the last number of the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, published in Edinburgh, does not offer a flattering prospect of success. The price of beer has already been stated as excessive; the drunkards issuing from innumerable licensed hovels in every corner, and the encouragement given to (Ns_ honesty and bad conduct among the servants of almost every family in Scotland, with the wretched state of the publicans, have rendered it necessary, within these two years, to place the public-houses there under the controul of Magistrates, to stem the demoralizing torrent issuing from the free trade system. The early period when legislative controul was thought neces sary top public-houses in England, does not encourage a hope that in the present more populous state of the country the regula tions call be suddenly removed. This point was adverted to by Mr. l'eel on the 21st May, 1828, in reply to a proposal that the sale of beer should be placed on the same footing as bread and cheese. He then said, " that if we throw open the sale in the manner alluded to, we shall find it necessary to retrace our steps," as the sale of intoxicating liquors does not admit of being so treated. lf, therefore, permanency cannot be calculated upon, the certainty of ruin to property is obvious, but to replace the individuals expelled will be impracticable. I theretire conclude that the necessity of the case does not call for so violent an attack on property held for years under the sanction of the Legislature, as is contained in the Bill now before Parliament; but that such temperate change will be efltcted as will meet the feeling of the age, and interest of the public, with out destroying the property of a mass of individuals, with the se curities and provision for widows and orphans thereon. The advantages of a free trade in beer may he sufficiently se cured by its being sold as an article of commerce by any person taking a license for that purpose, but that without a license from the Magistrates it shall not be consumed on the premises. This will encourage the purchase of beer by the labouring class, to be drank at home with their families, and, while avoiding the de moralizing effect of an unlimited number of licensed houses, will afford as much protection to the persons now interested in the trade as they ought to expect or wish to ask. It will ascertain where other public-houses are wanted by the quantity of business done; and with the more enlarged view taken by the Magistrates incident to a change that will call the public attention to the sub ject, a great extent of freedom of trade will ensue ; for when the "schoolmaster is abroad," even Magistrates—and clerical Magis trates too—may be taught that John Bull must be indulged with his favourite beverage.—Tinicr. In our leading article on the distillery question in Saturday's Paper, we stated from linics's pamphlet that the consumption of rum was, in 1825, 2,832,833 gallons, and in 1829, 3,702,143 gallons. This state ment is said by the British distillers, in some print's(' remarks on Mr. Innes's publication, to be incorilitl, the consumption for 1825 being not 2,832,833, but 1,980,807 gallons. We can neither verify the ori ginal statement nor the correction, because we have not the Parli a m entar y p a p ers on th e subject at hand ; but if the consumption was in 1825 only 1,980,807 gallons, it is evident that it has nearly doubled si nce , i ns t ea d of having increased in the ratio stated by Mr. Innes.—T i mes. The Bill for the relief of the Jew s stands for a acnoY Member l ess dis• than i second reading this evening. Had thi s Bill b een introduced Parliament a b n y d conscientiousness Mr. R. G ran t, w e s h ou ld h ave conceived the object tnguisiied tooor gravity or its proposer had been either a burlesque of t e s i o n r v t it ot i " ° r7du a c : t tempt t measure odetra o t f fr l o a m s t i s t e s s s m i o e n r , i t s or t y a a n lio ad absurdum. The well-known integri'y and honour, however, of the Member for Fortrose, not only leave no doubt as to the sincerity and good faith with which he has come forward to advocate the cause of the Hebrew nation, but make us hesi tate in expressing that'decided disapprobation with which, under different circumstances, we should have met his propositions. We are as ready as the Hon, Member to admit the truth and importance of those general principles which recognise the right of every citizen in a free state to be admitted to all its offices, unless he labours under a moral disquali fication; but in our humble opinion these principles do not apply to the case of the Jess. It is true, that, from the very nature of civil government, the Jews, who reside in any country, are entitled to the protection of those laws which' they are bound to obey : if, instead of mere residents, they become natural-born subjects, they would, according to the fair and liberal construction of the best rules of political administration, be entitled to all the privileges of native citizens.Whst, then, excepts the Jews from the advantage of this general principle ? Themselves alone; their own institutions alone. The Jews, if there be any truth in their traditions, any validity in their Scriptures, must be strangers and aliens in every land, but one, which they inhabit. We do not mean aliens in the ordinary sense of the term, because every law, stu dent even knows that legally no Jew born in Eng land is an alien ; but we mean aliens according to the best, and indeed only, construction which their own scheme of civil and religious polity can bear.— The Jews are not, cannot be, component parts of any nation; their civil, religious institution forbid any such amalgamation. They are, however, scat tered, however distant from each other, not only, in the language of their own sacred volume, " a pecu liar people," but a separate nation. They cannot have, they must not have, any identity of political interest with any people but their own. They may have, they must have, a common interest with the inhabitants of those kingdoms where they are domi ciled, on many, perhaps on all the points of pecuniary and commercial prosperity ; but on questions of political right, in cases of na tional interest, they have tIV . , they cannot have, f a u n r y uc,ohncche Hampden Ni'hatt.ant bled he Jew in tli t he ltabout the cause i, a id Sidney on the scaffold ?" Wh a t recollectio n s, whatas sociations can give him even a momentary interest in our glorious revolution ? The names of Somers, of Locke, of Holt, and Russell, at the sound of which every Englishman's heart leaps with sym pathy, must to him be " a mere sounding brass and tinkling cymbal." His national associations refer to far different persons—to far different objects. That such is the opinion of the leaders of the Jewish people, and the expounders of their institutions, may be inferred from the very slight interest which those persons appear to take in Mr. Grant's Bill. One thing at least is certain—that some reference should have been made to them before this Bill had been brought before Parliament. Some declaration should have been requested from the synagogue or synagogues of this kingdom at least, before any pro position was made to clothe the Jews with the character of British legislators. What, it might fairly be asked, are their hopes of the re-establish ment of their own national polity ? Do they not, on the principles of their faith as founded on the words of their own prophecy, look to that as a cer tain event, the time of which only is uncertain! If they believe none of this, they are then simple deists, and are in no worse situation than any other deists or infidels, for whom the law has not thought it expedient to make special pro vision. But, whatever may be the opirriene of the self-thought philosophers among the Jews, we suppose their priests, the depositaries of their institutions, will not adopt their views. Of the priests, then, it may be asked, what does their sa cred rite mean ? Of what covenant is it the inde lible test ? Has the choice which " the God of Israel" made of them as a favoured people, ceased? If so, when ? Are they for ever, and do the* be lieve themselves, as long as the world endures, amalgamated indiscriminately with the other nations of the earth ? Let the synagogue, or other con stituted religious authority of the Jews, answer these and a variety of kindred questions, and then Parliament will know how to legislate respecting them. Meantime, let us not be understood as wishing to withhold from the Jews any of 'those rights, privileges, and advantages which are not in compatible with their own political and relig ious condition as a separate nation. Let then', a s long as they reside among us, be treated with the courtesy due to well-conducted and honourable visiters. Every thing short of political iden tification should be granted; but that, in the 'nature of things, cannot be granted, because a Jew cannot be a patriotic Frenchman, or Ger man, or Englishman, till he has put off his cha racter of Jew. At the same time we admit, that by the wording of the Dissenters Relief Bill, the Jew has been put in a worse position than before as regards his admissibility to certain offices and functions. A very short enactment will correct this mistake. It is fit also that some declaratory Bill, such as that proposed by the Solicitor-General, should be passed, in order to remove doubts in the public mind on a matter which, we believe, no lawyer ever thought admitted of a doubt,—we mean the right of a Jew to acquire landed property. At the time of the discussion of the Jew Bill, in 1753, Mr. Fazakerly, one of the ablest lawyers of the day, clearly recognized and demonstrated this right: it has been since as clearly allowed by no less an au thority than Lord Eldon, not to mention the opi nion of the present Solicitor-General. Yet the po pular opinion is decidedly the other way. This matter, therefore, should be set at rest. One word as to the policy of other nations on this question. True it is, that in France and the Netherlands, no less than in the United States of America, a Jew is eligible to all offices, representative or executive,how ever high. But the constitution of society in those countries forms such a check, as not merely to neutra lize, but effectually to invalidate the right. Neither the Court nor people of France, or the Netherlands, still less the Amei ican population, ate likely to select their high functionaries or their representatives from among the Israelites ; and in those nations there is as yet no golden key to unlock the door of the le gislative assemblies : either state-influence or 'lp ha opinion decide the diction. So in England, if the decision depended on the Crowe, on the execu tive, or the people, the Jew's right of admission to office or Parliament would be a demi letter—a mere abstraction : but in our anomalous system of repre sentation, money is as powerful as the people or the state. More than a third of the seats in Parliament are notoriously purchaseable, and a few years might convert a British House of Commons into a Jewish sanhedrim. Give the Jew an interest, it will be said, in the British constitution, and he will become a British patriot. To this we have already answered, that the thing is impossible. A conscientious Jew cannot feel a Briton's interest : he cannot, while he professes Judaism, identify himself with England : he cannot love England as an Englishman should, without abjuring his faith and trampling under foot the holy laws and institutions committed to his fore fathers.-2'intes. Certain Ministerial papers, for whom no task of servility is too desperate, have volunteered to de fend 413 e .conduct pursued by the Law Officers in Ireland', in adopting the extra-judicial course of writing to the High Sheriff of the county of Ferma nagh, to instruct him as to the sort of Jury whiCli he should summon :for the Crown preparatory to the ensuing Ennisliillen Assizes.
