TO THE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND. NIA - LORD 8R0UG11.131,--it being reported that his Majesty's Ministers have thought fit to take the ad vice of the College of Physicians, concerning the threatened spreading of cholera m or b us , and t•ecol lecting some unsatisfactory official medical opinions on former occasions, I have thought it possible that your Lordship's penetrating mind would be better enabled to direct practical measures respecting this important subject, after a review of several state ments. My pretensions to your Lordship's notice are those of a public man possessing extended expe rience, and whose professional cogitations are founded on a desire to unite scientific precision to the complicated circumstantial evidences form the com mon fluctuating theories of the healing art. I consider the long.coniinued verbose medical disputes about infection, contagion, epidemics, and endemics, to be the unprofitable jargon of schools, unworthy the notice of men of science, and as mysti fied impediments to students, and as being of no use among sensible practitioners. Abundant ev id ences to b e found among the con flicting doctrines of medical writers, and the narra tives of travellers, show that the very same disease may, under different circumstances, assume the va rious characters of being contagious in one place or climate, and not so in another; similar differences and vicissitudes also occur in the technical distinc tions about i n f ect i on, ep i dem i cs, an d en d em i cs . Th e Just and b roa d v i ew of these apparent l y oppos i ng evidences is, that they are reconcileable under a ra tional admission that the communicable diseases in question admit of variable degrees of intensity, so as to render them more or less apt to be propagated. Happily for m an ki n d, t h e mor bifi c mater i a l s o f t h ese diseases are required to be in a definite quantity to produce their respective maladies, and the composition of all these morbific poisons seems to be of transient duration. Hence, by continued dilution, or by a gradual abatement of their acrimony, these pestiferous ferments become inert, and eventually their corresponding diseases cease. This appears to be the best reasoning for the establishment of the laws and regulations of quarantine, and experience has suffici en tl y proved that a rigorous and continued purification of suspected persons and goods is the only means for preventing the progress of cholera rnorbus. Should, however, this direful visitation afflict our country, it cannot be looked upon as equally f ata l with the worst kinds of pestilence : and its prevention, as we ll as i ts cura ti ve t rea tm e nt, promise to be more within medical controul. In addition to the strictest cautions of quaran tine, it may be well to ascertain the states of human health which render individuals more or less liable to have this di sease , an d whet h er any system o f dietetic regimen tends to favour or to avert its attack, or to render the event more propitious. From personal interviews with many medical and other gentlemen who have undergone this dangerous ordeal, I am convinced that inordinate cases of ca lomel given on the presumption of disordered liver, and also an equally violent and mischievous practice of extensive blood-letting, have added greatly to the number of deaths. Both these hypotheses appear to be conjectural, and the fatal efftcts of the prac tices justify a public prohibition. The usual violence at the commencement, and the sudden prostration of the vital powers in cholera, seem to depend on two sensible causes,---the first, a manifest abstraction of fluid from the volume of cir culating blood through the excessive alimentary dis charges ; the second, a notorious change in the qua lities of the blood itself, whereby its natural colour and texture, which are essential to health, are strik ingly deeriorated ; and since the ordinary stimulants of ardent spirits or wine have either failed to uphold the sinking frame, or have seemed to be hurtful, the employment of ammonia and opium have been adopt e d with better success. lltit a suggestion, communicated to me by Dr. Ainslie, the learned and laborious author of a valuable book entitled Iliateria Indica, deserves immediate and serious attention ; and as the Doctor had sent his proposal to theß ussian Government some weeks ago, he has a right to prece dence in this important matter, if happily his method should prove effectual. The Doctor viewing the sudden sinking of strength, and the disordered state of the bl oo d , as t h e most urgen t s y m pt oms , advises the imm e di a t e tr i a l o f i n h a li n g a super-oxigenated air, for the purpose of revivifying the blood, until other remedies, such as ammonia, shall have time to act upon the morbid materials in the alimentary passages. I am more disposed to place reliance upon the immediate sad often-repeated doses of ammonia, because of the attending spasms in the limbs, an occurrence which is generally connected with alimentary acidity. So that, in addition to the cordial effects of ammonia, it may probably act as an antidote. Craving your Lordship's pardon for this hurried address, and the mode adopted for its publication, I have the honour to be your very obe dient servant, Langham-place, June 15. ANTHONY CARLISLE. The ravages of the cholera continue to oc copy much attention in the city, where the question is viewed under the double aspect of its injurious conse quences to commerce, and the danger of its introduction into this country. The subject even connects itself with politics, as it seems likely to influence in a very remark able degree the conteat between the Poles and the Rus sians. If the commerce of Russia suffers as it must do in the first instance, her finances next feel the effect, and the movement of large bodies of troops becomes every day more difficult. It may prove therefore, in the end, the best ally of the brave Poles. In regard to the interruptions to commerce arising from the..chol era , o r rather the precau tions taken t o prevent its 'introd u cti on here, we do not meet with much complaint, because every one feels the necessity of them ; but we have heard the regulations pre scribed at the Custom-houses objected to as partial and un fair, from the circumstance of their allowing the steam vessels and the passengers by them to escape all detention or quarantine. We think, however, that this objection does not apply, as the steam. vessels seldom carry goods at all, or if any, not such as are calculated to convey the in fection ; and it is obvious that to detain their passengers would be not only an useless and vexatious regulation, but would utterly destroy the property embarked in that mode of conveyance. All that seems material is, that due vigi lance is exercised to prevent steam-vessels from carrying skins or other goods likely to communicate contagion, which they are little likely to do, as it would bring them at once within the operation of the quarantine regulations. The cholera, by the last accounts from Memel, is said to have been prevalent there as well as at Riga and Dantzic, but no symptoms of it have yet appeared at Hamburg. The steady progress of this disorder is one of the most re markable features attending it. It is about two years since its first appearance in Bengal, and it has subsequently tra velled northward across the continents of Asia and Europe at a rate nearly equal. There appears to he no doubt of its having acquired increased malignity in its progress, be ing at first an epidemic only, and then becoming both epi demic and contagious.— Times. , A. correspondent informs us, t h at i n most o£ the shops westward, silver is extremely scarce, and points out the singular coincidence that tlte Bank of England Should, at the very same time, be so overstocked with silver as to be compelled to melt it into bars at an enor • mous sacrifice. He suggests as a remedy, that an office in the Bank should he set apart for the purpose, where any on e on application might obtain silver in exchange for sovereigns or notes, in sums of not less than Five Pounds. This hint seems worthy of the attention of the Directors, and is an accommodation they owe the public, even if it did not at the same time do them a service, for we haVe heard that the loss in melting the silver falls on them, the Government having refused to bear any portion of MR. GALT'S NEW WORK, BOGLE CORBET. ...-." It is impossible," says the Literary Gazette, " to do justice to a work which contains the records of a life full of practical experience. It is characterised by its motto ' truth severe by fiction drest,' and how this plan is to be carried into execution is well set forth in the preface. Information given as incidents of personal experience is more instructive than opinion. The author's oppor tunities to acqu i re k now l e d ge of this kind, which he has here prepared, has been at least not common, and it was studiously gathered to be useful t others.

NE N\ BEER .TRADE„ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. . have this moment seen your Paper of Monday, the 13th instant, in which appears an article on the new ber trade. Under the form of a letter, not being a sub scriber (like T. IL B.) to your Journal, I must trust to the general honourable feeling amongst the leading editors of the day, which grants an opportunity for refuting any attacks made through their medium. To intrude myself as an individual is far from my idea; but when I see a class of men who, though young in their business, for their trade is new, set down in such scurrilous terms, as men of no honour, no principle, men returned from tt•an.• sportation, robbers of tills, fraudulent in their dealings with their creditors, and drawing the invidious distinction that the victuallers are all men of honourable character, just and fair in all theirs, thus bringing the two trades in coalition, I cannot refrain from answering it. Could he not have stated, that the new dealers have been convicted of daulteration—of selling poison ? No, Sir, bete he is too sensitive (the galled jade winces)• Strong as his party views are, lie could not advance it, or he would scarcely have let such an excellent point be lost. When I see such men as Mr. Braithwaite, Mr. Birt, Mr. Morris, Mr. Farren, Mr. Dyke, nay, hundreds snore, standing forward in the cause, can I, or you, think for one moment that the society of retailers is made up of such materials as your correspondent, in the malignity of his heart, blazons forth to the world ? I would fain ask, why cannot the new shops sell good, wholesome, and genuine beer (fr•an malt and hops only)? Have Messrs. Whitbread, Calvert, Taylor, Elliott, Tickel, &c. &c., laid aside the above articles, since they began to serve us, or do they brew two distinct beverages for the two trades? That we can and do sell it pure is evident, and we challenge a conviction to the contrary. Can our adversaries (for I understand they are in the field against us) say the same? How in so short a time they have sent so many to the w Aliouse (according to T. H. B.) I cannot . divine Could they not get beer before? Was there not every in ducement held out to entice them in? The unpretending fronts of the new beer shops cannot be put in competition with the grand and expensive glitter of the gin shop— alias. licensed victualler. With respect to time, or being put on an equality with the publican, we decidedly stated, as our only wish, the time to he eleven, and the same courtesy as they received for clearing their houses be allowed us ; and we expressed a hope that a mitigatory clause, on the latter part of the Act, namely, the consumption after ten o'clock, would be introduced. As for any other illiberal remarks, they are best met by the silent reproof of contempt, or I should, could I have presumed on your valuable time and columns, have entered more into them. It is the terms and expressions of his letter, not its effects, we care for. Scurrility will always undermine its own acts. The public are the judges, and while we have sufficient p itrons for our articles, we can leave him to draw comparisons as long as he can find vent for them. I am, your obedient servant, 31, Bishopsgate•Street. G. CRUCEFIX. Lord GRANVILLE was expected in Londoi Tsterday afternoon. THE O'CoNNoR DON, M.P.—By some ac cident a paragraph announcing the death of this venerable patriot, got into the evening Freeman of Saturday. We hasten to contradict it. It gives pleasure to know that the valuable Member for Roscommon is better. lie was seri- ously indisposed ; but thank Gon, he is now convalescent. —Dublin Freeman's Journal of Monday. DEATH OF THE O'CONNOR DON.—We have to announce, with the most unfeigned regret, that this venerable and distinguished patriot breathed his last at ten o'clock on Sunday. Speculation, is of course, busy, as to who is to be his successor in the representation of Ros common ; but we earnestly implore the electors of that county to recollect the debt of gratitude due to the House of Balnagar ; and if the electors would but look into " The People's Book," the description of the late repre sentative would fill their minds with veneration for those who are now no more, and, doubtless would induce them to pause ere they should decline to give their unsolicted suffrages to the present head of that ancient and truly Irish family.—Dublin Morning Register. We understand that the Duke of NORFOLK and Lord MuLoaavE are to move and second the address in the House of Lords, and Mr. Cnar.LEs PELHAM, Member for Lincolnshire, with Sir JoiiN B. JOHNSTONE, Member for Yorkshire, will do the same thing in the House of Commons. It has been announced to us, on unquestion able authority, that Prince LEOPOLD has positively de clined, at a private interview, the throne of Belgium, on any conditions. We confess that we are inclined to doubt the intelligence, notwithstanding the high authority from which we have received it; but revolutions in opinion, as well as in other matters, are so common in these days, that the statement may, notwithstanding, be correct.— Morning Advertiser. This is the sixth time that the present SPEAKER (the Right Hen. MANNERS SIITT;N, son of the late Archbishop of CANTERBURY) has been appointed to fill the chair. The custom is that the SPEAKER should have a new service of plate with each new Parliament; so that the present SPEAKER will possess six official services of plate. He has long been celebrated for the taste.- and splendour of his Parliamentary dinners ; they will now be more splendid than ever. We are authorised to state that the paragraph which appeared yesterday, announcing the approaching nuptials of Lord Eforwot with Lady JANE HANLEY, is untrue ; there being no foundation whatever for it. Neither is it true that the late Countess of OXFORD was ever forbidden to approach the Austrian territorits, her Ladyship ❑ever having had any acquaintance with either of the ladies mentioned as her associates in that pro hibitio n.—Morning Herald. Mr. RUSSELL, the patriotic Member for the county of Durham, passed through Stamford, on his way to attend his Parliamentary duties on Sunday. The noble sacrifice he made of his boroughs, valued at upwards of 100,0001. has endeared him to his constituents. The Clergy and the gang of boroughmongers offered 30,000/. to Sir HENRY HA RDINGE if he would contest the county against him, hut Sir HENRY knew better what he was about : 30,0001. would be nothing against the voice of the people of the county, who, in every part, received Mr. RUSSELL with the most triumphant and soul-inspiring ac clamations.— Stamfbrd Champion. The pictures painted by modern artists, which have been disposed of at the British Institution during the present exhibition, have considerably exceeded those of the last year, both in number and value; 110 pictures have been sold, the value of which amounts to 5,3181. Os. As good deeds ought to be known and justly appreciated, and as some confusion has arisen in names, it may hot be unacceptable to the public to be informed that the Lady who has so bountifully given 4,0001 to the suf fering Irish is Mrs. PALMER, who has 30,000/. a year in Mayo, the mother-in-law of Mr. W. iIIAcKINNON, M.P. for Lytnington.—Morning Herald. A very strong impression prevails that part of the present subscription fur the famishing Irish is likely to find its way (as was the case on a former occasion) into the pockets of some of the landlords in the shape of rent, instead of answering the urgent and benevolent purpose for which it is destined. We do not ourselves believe this; but as it is calculated to check the tide of public virtue, the sooner its fallacy and impossibility are made known the better.

In your announcement of th's admirable wotnari's•de. cease, you alluded to the popular hut untrue tradition, that her original failure on the London boards was'attri butab'e to Garrick's envy of her as a rival in tragic talent. No opinion ever was more erroneous: it was the indif ference of the public, not the caprice of ta manager, which consigned her again to the ordeal of the provinces. I (now in my 81st year) remember thoroughly her first debut in Portia—aye! remember it, as if it were but yes t‘i day. I was at that time a tyro, play-mad, and a nightly attendant at one or other of the houses.' Well— to Portia !—on before us tottered, rather than walked, a very pretty, delicate, fragile-looking young creature, dressed in a most unbecoming manner—a faded salmon. coloured sack and coat—and uncertain whereabouts to fix ei her her eyes or ber feet. She spoke in a broken tre mulous tone, and, at the close of a sentence, her words generally lapsed into a hurried whisper that was absolutely its abble. After her first exit the buzzing comment round the pit ran generally, " She is certainly very pretty, hut then how awkward ! and what a shocking dresser !" Towards the famous trial scene she became more collected, and delivered the great speech to Shylock with the most critical propriety, but still with a faintness of utterance which seemed the result rather of an internal physical weakness than a deficiency of spirit or feeling.-- Altogether, the impression made upon the audience by this first effort was of the must negative description.-- Very soon afterwards Garrick gave her the fairest pos sible opportunity of winning her way with the public, by assigning her an original character, in a new comedy by Mrs. Cowley, called the "Runaway." The new play was acted sixteen nights, and the part of Emily was that of an interesting sentimental young lady, exactly suited to Mrs. Siddons' youth and appear ance. Still the fair debutante merely pleased ; she excited no strong emotion—was rewarded for her utmost efforts by no warmth of panegyric.. I recollect, during the run of this comedy, to have met the authoress at a supper party, where' a Mrs. Griffiths (a novel-writer of that day) was complimenting Mrs. Cowley on the success of her play. " But, Madam, what a mere inanimate waxen dull have they given you fur a heroine !" To which Mrs. C. rejoined, " I am disappointed in her, I confess; yet, I assure you, the young woman rehearsed the part charmingly, but she is so timid that she forgets all her clever points the moment she faces the audience." During the same season she created some sensation among the beaux by walking as Venus in some grand pageant; but the only effort which could be said to have recommended her as an actress to the town was her performance of Mr•s. Strickland, to Garrick's Ranger. The character itself is a very secondary one, but Mrs. S. really contrived to render it very interesting and pathetic. To sum up my account, she was at that time very lovely, very lady like, and very sensible in every thing she (lid ; but there was a coldness—an inanimation—a want of fiesta and blood about her acting—such as peremptorily forbade in the spectator even the most distant hope of that resplen dent genius that seven years afterwards blazed upon us with such overpowering splendour. Do you remember Mrs. Knight, the widow of the late low comedian ? When that lady first met my eyes, on Drury-lane stage, some twenty years go, she brought to my mind most forcibly what Mrs. Siddons had appeared to be upon the self-same boards in 1776. Certainly, in point of public estimation or favour, no difference existed between the two ladies. With the solitary exc.: ption of Miss Fanny, precocity of talent has never been among the distinguish ing qualities of the house of Kemble. " Slow but sure" has always been the fairhiy motto. - THE EARL of MUNsTEß.—Yesterday this newly-created Peer took the oaths and his seat in the House of Lords as a Peer of the realm, created by virtue of his Majesty's patent. The occasion caused a considerable attendance of Peeresses, Ladies, Peers, ; but during the ceremony Peers, who had not taken the oaths of this Parliament, were not allowed to remain in the body of the House, a rigid attendance to which rule, curiously enough, compelled Sir T. TYRWHITT, the Usher of the Black Rod, to remove-from his seat the Duke of WELLINGTON, his Grace not having taken the oaths. Amongst the Ladies present was the Countess MUNSTER, the newly-created Earl's wife, and daughter of Lord EGREMONT ; the Countess sat in the body of the House, on one of the Peer's benches. The Earl of MUNSTER was introduced with all the usual forms. He was dressed in his Peer's robes ; lie was preceded by Sir GEORGE - NAY LER, Garter King at Arms, and supported by the Earls of DENBIGH and ROMNEY, it being the etiquette that the supporters of a newly-introduced rank should be of like rank with such Peer. The patent was then read. His MAJESTY describes the newly-created Peer as " my natural son," and every time that he is mentioned the same description is used. While being sworn, the Earl, as he is near-sighted, wished to \ lay down the Testament to enable him to look more closely at the form of oath ; but he was told that he must retain the book in his hand, so that he had no hand disengaged to hold his glass. This circumstance occasioned a good deal of merriment. The patent, by the way, in the event of failure of In:de issue, continues the title to the next eldest natural son of his MAJESTY, and if failure of male issue there, then tostbe next eldest son, and so on. It is rather a novel thing to hear a LORD CHANCELLOR declaring—as Lord BROUGHAM did on Tuesday in the Court of Chancery, because there were to be no sittings this week—that he must consequently re main at home several days " doing nothing," and, of course, "wasting his time." So that where a Chancellor is inclined to woik, and decide business, forms, and the convenience of the few, compel him to be idle! A wholly unprecedented compliment was paid to the SPEAKER on his re-election to the Chair on Tues day. Having been handed into the Chair by the mover and seconder (Mr. C. WYNN and Sir M. W. RIDLEY ), the whole House (300 Members being present) rose (rein their seats, took off their hats, and continued on their legs during Mr. M. SUTTON'S second address. Mr. O'CoNNELT, arrived at the House of Commons too late on Tuesday to take the necessary oaths, or participate in the debate ; had it not been for which, it is rumoured that the re-appointment of the SPEAKER would not have passed off so smoothly.

POLAND. (From the Private Correspondent of the Times.) WARSAW, JUNE 6. The last letter I wrote to you was under date the 31st ult., which infermed you that the Polish head quarters were at Praga, where they still remain, and nothing has taken place with the main army since then; but, however, the Poles still sing their na tional song—" Jeszcre Polska iiie Zginela"—(Po land will not be lost so long as we live), for the news fr:mn Lithuania and the Ukraine are good. General Chrapowski has gained a victory over the Russians, ne :r Narewka. The following is the translation of dip official report of General Skrzynecki to the Na tional Government : " I have the honour to send to the National Go vernment the news just received of the army under the command of General Chrapowski. That General having joined some thousand of the Bialystock in surgents,' gained a glorious victory over the enemy, near NareWka, on the 26th of May : it was at the same time when the battle of Ostrolenka took place. The enemy's column, consisting of two regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and five cannons, besides Cossacks, were sent from Brzesc- Liteivski with the intention of falling upon the in surgents, and were led on by one Rengardt. Gen. Chrapowski got the start of him, and attacked him in the night, and with such success that the Rus sian corps was surrounded. The Russians lost the five cannons and all the arms; and about 300 men were killed; we lost an officer of the regular troops, four chasseurs of the insurgents, and one horse. , - remainder of the enemy's troops were com- pletely defeated and 'made prisoners. General Chra powski took the cfficers with him on his march, but ordered the soldiers (prisoners) to be sent to Bielsk by the inhabitants, after their having taken an oath not to serve again against the Poles. Four degene rated inhabitants of that country, who conducted the enemy towards tt , s received their deserved punish rrent--death. The appearance of General Chra powski heightened the spirits of the insurgents in that part ; the whole population are taking up arms. Besides the successful battle of Narewka, the insur gents . had fallen several times upon the Russian transports, and at Bialostockiey Puszczy 120 wag gons fell into the hands of the insurgents: (Signed) " SKRZYNECKI. " Praga, June 2, 1831." According to news arrived likewise from Vol. hynia, the insurgents have given battle to the Rut. sians at Haman, which fortress fell into the hands of the insurgents, with all the arms, ammunition, &c. The insurgents were led on by Count Emir Mactaw Rzewuski, whose two sons are in the Polish artillery. It was a hard-fought battle, and. 1,200 Russians were left dead on the field; the loss of Alexander Schamki, who was either killed or made prisoner, is much regretted. The rising in that country will be of great consequence to the Russians, as the peasantry are determined to defend the liberty their masters have given them. The Greek clergymen have even joined them, and bless their flags ; and some of them join them in the battles. The inhabitants of the Ukraine remember the advantages they enjoyed in the Polish times,and have sworn to assist the Poles in their s.ruggle for liberty and independence. The Russians have sent troops in the environs of Zytomierz and Berdyczoff, so that the insurgents have 15,000 regular troops against them. But it is said, that danger threatens the Russians likewise from other sides, as, accord ing . to news fiom Odessa, '2,000 infantry were shipped to reinfore the fortresses on the banks of Dungy, as the Russians do not trust the Turkish assurances of peace. General Rudiger, with his corps and a part of Krassowski's corps, has entered the country, and taken up his head-quarters at Werbkowice: he has 9,000 men and thirty pieces of cannon. The Jews at Krubiszew and Laszczow are assisting the Russians all they can, and lead them to the houses of those persons known as patriots. At the battle of Ostrolenka young Kanke was killed : he was a brave young fellow. The battle of the 25th of February, although a very bloody one, was nothing like this. General Skrzynecki on that day, when a charge was made on the enemy, was in the middle of the troops who charged, and Charles* was along with him, who, for his bravery, has been decorated with the Gold Military Cross, and I can assure you he is not a little proud of it. He is much praised by the Commander-in-Chief and all his comrades, and beloved by them. A change will take place in a day or two in the Go. vernment, when it is expected that Count Wladislav Ostrowski, the Marshal of the Diet, will be one appointed. A deputation from the Senate and Chamber of Deputies and National Guards have been to the head-quarters, to congratulate General Skrzynecki on the success he has had, and to thank him in the name of the nation for the services he has already rendered it. The Russian army have begun to move to the right bank of the Narew. On the 3d, a corps of 14,000 men were encamped at Prasnysz. The retreat which General Lubienski made from Ciechanowiec was so admirably done, that he has been advanced to General of Division : he had 6,000 men, surrounded by 40,000, and cut his way through them. At the battle of Dlugosiodla, the wife of one of the gunners took the place of one of the soldiers who was killed, and carried charges for charging the cannon; the officers ordered her to quit the. field of battle, but she put on the uniform of a soldier end fought to the end of the battle ; it is said she will receive a military cross for her bravery. There are several women serving i❑ the army ; I have seen two myself. At the battle of Ostrolenka, a soldier wounded in the calf of the leg gave his razor to one of his comrades and begged him to cut the ball out, but on his refusing to perform :the operation he cut it out himself (which was fortunately not deep in the flesh), tied up the wound, and returned into the battle. * A friend of the writer of this letter. ON PREVENTING THE DISCHARGE OF A BULLET FROM A GUN BY THE FINGER.—At a sitting of the Helvetic Society of Natural Sciences, a letter was read from Dr. FLACHIN, of Yverdun, relative to an experiment before na,;ntionsl to the society, in which the ball was pie. vented from leaving the bottom of a musket when the gunpowder was fired, simply by putting the ramrod upon the ball, and the end of the finger upon the ramrod. He supposes the effect may be explained by the circumstance, that near the charge the ball has a very small velocity compared to that impressed upon it by the expansive force of the gases from the fired gunpowder, when exerted during the whole of the time in which it is passing ah,ng the barrel. It is well known that the effect thus accumulated is the reason why long pieces carry further than short ones, and why the breath of a man, I I which cannot exert a pressure of more than a quarter of lan atmosphere; may, by means of a tube, throw a ball to the distance of sixty steps. The experiment above re quires great care, espe'cially as to the strength of the piece, which is very liable to burst in the performance of the ex • periment.—Hamburg Reporter. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—Some time since a girl belonging to Wick took up her abode with an, acquaintance in Buckie. She was at the time in a state of pregnancy. On Sunday last she quitted the roof of her acquaintance, for the purpose of residing pro tempore, with a sister at no great distance ; hut on reach ing her sister's house she wai refused admittance. Im mediately after being repulsed from the door of her sister she was taken in the pains of labour. She nevertheless attempted to make for the house of an acquaintance, but failed in the effort. Overcome with pain and exhaustion, she gave birth to her child in an open close. It being late at night, and no one present, the poor creature took up the child in her arms, and carried it to the nearest house. The child is but poorly, but the mother is doing wonderfully well.—Elgin Courier. ONE WEEK'S CRIME IN LONDON.—From the returns for the week ending June 10, we find the fol lowing number of prisoners were brought to the police offices, exclusive of those in the city :—Total prisoners brought to the offices, charged with various offences, 403, of whom 58 were .fully committed for trial; 53 were sent to the House of Correction for punishment; 150 were discharged ; and 142 were remanded far further ex amination. The COPENHIAG E N, ~4tif:2F..-.: I'l►e King cf Denmark has just proclaimed ths , Constitution of the Provincial States, which he soma time since promised to his people. You are aware that this country has been governed since the Rev°. Indian of 1660 as an absolute Monarchy; but tun neled by manners, public opinion, and a regular ad ministration of justice. This has been especially the case during the reign of the present truly paternal Sovereign. But the King has had the good sense to perceive that his personal character is no perma ',era security for good government, and also that the spirit of the age demands concessions in favour of constitutional liberty, As the people of this country have been so long accustomed to repose upon the provident care of a paternal Government, they have lost the practical habit of public business, and e>f looking after their own affairs, which is the first ele ment of civil freedom, and without which any writ ten Constitution, however perfect to the rye, is no be ter than waste paper. The object of the King, tl erefore, in the present measure, has been to take a p eliminary step towards the establishment of a Con stitutional 'Monarchy—to educate his people politi cagy, as he has already conferred upon them the blessing of literary instruction universally diffused, and thus to fit them gradually for more liberal insti tutions. This important measure was preceded by he introduction of Prince Christian, the Heir Ap parent, to the Privy Council, cf which be had never before been a Member, and it will doubtless be fol lowed by many ameliorations in the internal Admi nistration. This country will thus be preserved front the risk of sudden and violent changes, and will, it is hoped, escape the perils which now menace the oldest European Monarchies. HAYM A RKET THEATRE---The season opened at this house last night with the excellent comedy of The Clandestine Marriage, the principal characters in which were supported with great ability. MG W. FAIL a ex, as Lord Ogleby, was quaintly humourous in his de lineation of the superannuated beau. His Lordship's sen sitive delicacy was happily contrasted with the bload vul garity of Mrs. Hiedclburg, who found, in Mrs. GLOVER, a most amusing and effective representative. The comedy was followed by a pleasant one-act piece, entitled The Widow Bewitched; or, Love at Fault. It turns on the stratagem which Colonel Trecanion (Mr. W. FAR.- REN) his recourse to, for the purpose of discovering whether his wife, who supposes him dead, still retains any kind recollections of his memory, or has soothed her sor rows by the selection of another. partner. It is an unpre tending trifle—a little extravagant in the plot, but, per hips, not the less amusing on that account. A Miss SID NEY, from, we believe, the Olympic Theatrei, made her debut on these boards in the part of Adelaide. Her general manner is lively and agreeable, and though her voice is very indifferent, she sustained the character pret tily. The piece was perfectly successful. The musical farce of The Review concluded the entertainmen's. • FETE OF THE TWELFTH LANCERS.—A sumptuous entertainment was given on Friday, the 10th inst., at the Lucan Spa Hotel, by the Officers of the 12111 Lancers, to the principal Nobility and Gentry of Dublin and its vicinity. Four hundred persons were invited, and, notwithstanding the extraordinary inclemency of the day, very few apologies were received. Amongst the dis tinguished persons present were the Duke and Duchess of LFINSTER, Marquis and :Marchioness of HEADiour, the Earl and Countess of Ross, &c. &c. Nothing could ex ceed the attention and politeness of the gallant hosts to their much-gratified guests, and the party did not separate till long after sun-rise the following morning. The collection at Fetter-lane chapel, under the direction of the Rev. Messrs. BURnER and CALEB Moßitts, on Sunday last, for the benefit of the distressed Irish, amounted to 50/. The latter genie/Ilan supplied himself with copious extracts from the public Journals and letters, by which, acid his comments thereon, he ably en forced the peculiar claims of the objects sought to be relieved. Among the various appeals made on Sunday by the clergy in behalf of our poor suffering subjects of the sister kingdom, perhaps there was none more appropriate than that &livered at St. John's, Westtninster, by the Lecturer, from 1 Kings xvii. 12 :—" I have nothing save an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in-a cruise, and behold I am gathering a few sticks that I may gu in and dress it fur me and my son, that we may eat it and die." A correspondent informs us that the congre g ation who attended at St. John's chapel, Bedford-row, ou Tuesday evening last, to hear an appeal in behalf of the distressed Irish, from the Rev. H. AIELVILLE, left in the plates no less a auto than 234!. The persons 5.1h0 have *the selection of the songs and glees at the Tory convivial meetings seem to en tertain very correct notions as to what is fit and appro priate on such occasion. At the dinner in Essex, last week, the toast of " The Clergy," was followed by " A jolly full bottle :" and at the dinner of the Merchant Tailors, on Saturday, the speech of the Duke of \VELLIN cm TON, which was filled with the most dismal forebodings as to the consequences of the Reform Rill, was succeeded by the glee " How merrily we lire.' Tuesday night a large game cover near Prees, Shropshire, belonging to Sir R. HILL, Bart., was set tire to by some incendiary ; it was with great difficulty the flames were subdued, after consuming:about an acre of trees and underwood. A reward of 100 guineas is offered for the detection of the incendiary.—Stafford Advertiscr. By the late population returns for the different parishes in Southampton, the females are found to exceed the males by 2,000, and the increase upon the whole since the last census to be one-fourth. London tradesmen, of all descriptions, have seldom, if ever, known such a season as the present, the revival of Courts, and the double meeting of Parliament, all coining in aid of town residences and town expendi tures. It is true that some first-rate coach-makers emit'- , plain of want of custom ; but that is owing to others who are not so Mph being lower. Accounts from India agree in stating the in jurious effects-which the deductions made from the pay and ; allowances of the military are likely to have upon the in ; terests of the Company and the mother country at all the Presidencies. CAPTAIN BEECIIEY'S VOYAGE TO THE PACIFIC.-This excellent work will now shortly become accessible to the general reader by the publication of a new and cheaper edition in octavo. The same beautiful arid expensive illustrations which graced the quarto will like wise accompany the new impression of this work, which has been denominated " a lasting monument of Captain BEECHEY'S abilities, and an honour to his country." It is indeed not too much to say, that of all the exciting narra tives of Voyages of Discovery that have preceded it, the present production is surpassed by none in intensity of ia terest and value of information. THE CHURCH.—it seems to us that the titn is fast approaching when Reform will extend to the church. It has the greatest consolation of knowing that its own conduct has precipitated it. Our reasons for so thinking are—its gross corruptions ; the most crying is the enorm ous disproportion in which its immense wealth is distri buted. A few are bloated into plethoric luxury, while the bulk and the meritorious part remains in shameful poverty. The consequence has been, that the nation is periodically taxed for the poorer clergy to a great amount. The ex treme injury of appropriating such a staggering sum as nine millions in England and nearly five in Ireland to sup ply the spiritual wants of comparatively a small number of persons. The outrageous injustice of compelling those to swell its already enormous wealth, who are of a different religion, who derive no benefit whatever from it, who sup port a clergy of their own, and are exceedingly poor. The stupid hostility of the church to improvement of all sorts. The fierce ignorance it would perpetuate amongst the people, and the readiness with which it has prostituted itself to every oppression and tyranny. It was no mean cause of the American war and all its atrocities. It con- I iiiboted largely to the existence of the French war and the accumulation of that fabled debt which lies like a moun tain on the breast of the nation. The waddling arrogance, the staring intolerant spirit which in any body of men would be offensive, but in Christian Clergymen is absolutely disgusting. The rapacity and oppression with which their wealth is wrung from the bowels of the poor. By the last Kilkenny Paper we find the Clergymen of that county serve latitnts for the recovery of their tithes, and thus en tail for each case a cost of 201. on the miserable farmer ! !! The awakened attention of the nation to all these huge abuses. The last general election has placed thems,p•o for minently before every country in the thre e h t in where have they not abetted abuse, corruption, an s trongest reason 'bt but that te s where have not the clergy perhaps they were.ng ' a Reform. —Dublin why we should insist on Joursal. opposed Irr'-ressiou?
