INTERVIEW OF WALLACE WITH .HIS In the neighbourhood of the house where he had now taken refuge, was an oak of huge di mensions, in a cavity of which he had frequently concealed himself from his enemies, when the search was too. close to allow of his remaining within doors. To this retreat he now repaired, after partaking : of that ref r eshme n t w hi c h hi s situation so much required. One of the widow's sons was despatched to acquaint his uncle with his safety, and to request his assistance ; while another was sent off towards the scene of his late conflicts, to obtain, if possible, some intelligence of his lost companions. The morning was pretty far advanced, when Wallace was awakened from his sleep by the sound of voices, and, starting to his feet, found his uncle and two of the widow's sons engaged in conversation, one of whom had been watch ing him during his sleep. His uncle, taking him by the arm, led him apart from the others, and began to inquire into his situation, repre senting to him at the same time the difficulties he was still likely to experience if he continued to persevere in so hopeless a cause. " Your followers," added he, " are now either slain or dispersed, and all your efforts in the district you have been in have not procured you a single friend to replace those you have lost ; the plunder you have taken has either been recaptured, or left in places where it would be madness to hazard yourself in regaining it. Besides, were you even successful, to your utmost wish, in expelling the English from our country, do you believe that so powerful, so ambitious a Prince as Edward, one who is considered the most accomplished warrior of his age would allow the laurels to be torn from his brow by the son of an obscure Scottish laird ? Would not the whole force of his mighty king dom, assisted, if necessary, by his foreign auxi liaries and vassals, be poured upon our devoted country ? Would not the inhuman butcheries which were witnessed at Berwick be again re newed in all our cities? Have we not already had too much experience of his cruelty, to think of increasing our misfortunes by fresh provoca tions? Listen, therefore, my dear son, to what I am authorized to propose to you. You are aware, that those men, whose duty and interest it was to have defended our country, have sub mitted to our enemies ; if you will, therefore, give over your fruitless hostility to Edward, and acknowledge him as your liege Lord, you will, in place of skulking from covert to covert, have it in your power to become the most powerful Vassal of his crown." Before his uncle had time to explain, Wallace withdrew his arm from his grasp. "my situa tion," said he, " is gloomy enough, but not so desperate as you imagine. I regret nothing that has yet happened, save the loss of my gallant friends ; but I know where the sound of my horn can still call forth as many resolute spirits as will enable me to revenge their fall. Those who, have joined me, know that the liberty of our country is the only object I have in view ; and they also know, that I have always been as ready to expose my own life as theirs in the quarrel. The liberty which an unprincipled usurper is endeavouring to deprive us of, is the birthright we have inherited from our ancestors, and which belongs to our posterity, to whom it is our duty to transmit it. If we perish in doing so, we perish in doing what is right ; and that God, who made us free men, will avert the scenes you dread, if we show ourselves worthy of his gift. If, on the contrary, we basely surrender what we only hold in trust for our children, the gall ing yoke of slavery will be a just retribution for defrauding them of their sacred inheritance. As to the proposal, come from whom it may, you can acquaint them, that the destruction of a single enemy of my country's independence af fords me more pleasure than all the wealth which our proud oppressor has it in his power to be stow. " Have you forgot, uncle," said he, while his stern features relaxed into a smile almost sarcastic—" have you forgot " Die° tibi verum, libertas optima return : Nunquam serviii, eub nevi vivito, fili--" r " have you forgot those sentiments which you was at such pains to impress on my mind in the halcyon days of my childhood,- when peace was in all our borders, and every man sat under his own vine and f-g -tree, enjoying the fatherly protection of a righteous sovereign ? And is there to be no effort, no sacrifice made to bring again those days to our poor distracted country ?" He was proceediii; when the old man's eyes be came suffused ; recollections of the past crowded upon his mind, and he threw himself on the breast of his nephew.—Constable's Miscellany, Vol. Llll.—Life of Sir William Wallace. I tell you a truth, Liberty is the best of all things : Aly son, never live under any slavish bond. t ' The uncle of Wallace, a priest, so often inculcated, and so deeply imprinted, the following lines upon his mind and memory, that by them he squared all the thoughts of his great soul, and efforts of his vigorous body .Dico tibi verurn, libertas optima rerun, : Nienquom servili, sub nexu vivito, The London Sessions commenced this morn ing before the Loan MAYOR, Alderman ANSLEY, &C. Nothing of importance transpired up to the period when we went to press. A SINGULAR SUDDEN DEATH.—kin inquest was held at the King's Arms public-house, Westgate, on Friday evening, by S. WALKEY, Esq. Coroner, to inquire by what means a labouring man, named JOSEPH Honor, had met his death the preceding night. Some circum stances attending this event having caused suspicion that DINAH HODGE, wife of the deceased, had been guilty of some unfair means to deprive him of life, she was taken into custody, and by order of the Mayor confined in the city gaol, to await the decision of the inquest, which was soon afterwards held, when a verdict of accidental death was returned, and the woman released from custody.— E.veter Alfred. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—By the last vessel from New South Wales, a letter was brought ad dressed to the Town Clerk of Sheffield, from a person named COOPER, formerly of this town, who, it appears, had sentence of transportation passed upon him about twenty-five years ago, when lie hail scarcely arrived at manhood. After undergoing many accidents, one of which was his escape from the hulks, and another his subsequent escape, with five others, from Chester gaol, he was a third time apprelanded, and finally consigned to Sydney. Here his natural talents soon brought him into notice, and a reformation in his conduct gained him a degree of re spectability. About eight yearn ago he received a free par don from the Government authoritiea at the settlement,and began to acquire property of his awn. The letter alluded to states that his possessions produce him 5001. per an nuls, and that he is anxious to discover, if alive, an in fant daughter, whom he left in this town when he was sent abroad, and endow her with a portion of his wealth. In this communication, the names of several gentlemen now living are given as dews to the inquiry.— Mr. Caossr...aran, our vestry clerk, has happily succeeded in tracing the infant, who has been found a married wori ao, settled in London, with but small means. At the conclusion of the letter an account is given of the country and climate..—Sheffield Iris. APHORISMS, &c.—A proud man and a bumble one will both admit that " humility is a virtue." Nothing is more common than a similarity of sentiment in opposite characters. Y dare say a fox and a goose, if they could speak, vronld'hoili concur is saying that poultry MIA to be well fed. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1830.' A King's Messenger arrived at the Colonial Office this morning with despatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAMS, the Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Isles. The messenger was also the bearer of despatches from Mr. DAWKINS, at Greece, to Lord ABERDEEN, and Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM for the Admiralty. We hear that none of these despatches contain any news of public interest, further than that the arrangements respecting Greece progress satis factorily. The only extracts from the German Papers, received this morning, relate to the mysterious youth of Nuremburg, whose fate so much occu pied the attention of the German public a short time ago : FROM THE MAINE, MARCH 31. The Journal Hesperus says that a clue has been dis covered to the family of Caspar Hauser (the orphan of Nuremburg). His mother is said to be a Hungarian Countess, St. M—, at Pesth, who, as widow, enjoys the very considerable property which, if there were a child, would belong to him. The first discovery is said to have been made by an ecclesiastic, who being at an inn, beard persons in an adjoining room speak of the affair. A wait ing maid, now in the service of Count P., is stated to have implored him, on the report of an impending investigation, to afford her his protection, " because this affair might bring her to the scaffold," but that notwithstanding she had lost her senses through fear. On the other hand a Munich Journal, the Bazar, con tains in a private letter from Vienna the following pas sage on this subject:—" Already six months ago, I bad the only possible and true political conjecture respecting the birth of Caspar Hauser, and this is now fully confirmed. A few days ago a governess in the house of Prince ** *, in Hungary, who at a former period was long in company of the great French General, was secretly arrested by legal authority, accused of being cognisant of the birth of Caspar Hauser, and also of the attempt to assassinate him ; per haps, even as a relation, she pretended to be out of her mind. A physician discovered her trick by another stratagem.—(The writer of the letter here enters into further details, which, however, must not yet be made public.)—lt appears that in respect to Caspar Hauser, there has been no want of liberality in the purchase of daggers. The disclosure of the truth must, therefore, he attended with danger to my own life if brought to light. A fact that might perhaps be felt like an electric shock throughout Europe." IZURE3IBURC, APRIL 3. One of our Journals contains the following article:— " Young Caspar Hauser met this morning with an accident, which has even increased the interest that his melancholy fate has excited. While busy in arranging his books on a shelf near which a loaded pistol was hanging, which he had placed therefor his defence, he lost his balance, and in attempting to save himself from falling, involun tarily touched the trigger of the pistol, which went off, and the ball grazed his head, but happily did not damage any bone. The family hastening to the spot on hearing the report, found him lying on the floor, and bathed in Mood, but a ten , moments afterwards he recovered his senses and speech, and surgical assistance being immedi ately applied, there is reason to hope that the wound, which is not at all dangerous, will soon be healed. VIENNA, APRIL 2. The Austrian Observer says, under the head of ac counts from Smyrna, that the French brigs of war, the Volage and Surprise, which had just arrived in Greece, from France, had brought, the former 250,000 franca, the latter 350,000 francs, for the Greek Government.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S schedule of duties with respect to the Stamp Acts which are to be consolidated, has just been published this morning. We have not had time to examine the respective alterations which were proposed to be made, nor from the present sample do we see any reasonable mode of finding them out, for there is no table of comparison of the old and new duties, as suggested by Mr. HUME, and assented to by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ; but on looking into that branch which more im mediately concerns ourselves—the duties in respect of Newspapers—we are sorry to perceive at a glance that nothing new is proposed for the benefit of the public, but an increase for the benefit of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQUER, so far as Irish Newspapers are concerned- The extortionate duty of Ss. sa. on advertisements is still to be continued, against reason and every principle of justice ! If the Right Hon. Gentleman really means to per sist in that course we can assure him that he will do so eventually to his own bitter regret and dis appointment. An oppressive tax defeats its own purpose, as he ought to have known by this time. But we have not space to-day for remark. The following is a list of the con tents or sub-divisions of the various articles sub ject to the new duties : SUPPLEMENT TO THE VOTES AND PROCEED INGS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Jovis, 8° die Aprilis, 1830.

The argument of the inconsistency of allowing the Jews to form a part of the Legislature, which recognizes and upholds an established Church in this country, savou►:s more of zeal for the interests of that Church, than of regard for those principles of justice and mercy, to maintain which on the earth Christianity itself was founded. It is, moreover, inconsistent with the assertion we have so frequently heard made from the same quarter, that the rights of the Church are inde feasible, and beyond the interference of Parlia ment ; for, if this be true, there is no reason for apprehension, even though the Legislature should be wholly composed of Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Heretics. It is likewise irreconcileable with fie professions of those who opposed the Ca- tholic Claims, on the ground of the alleged danger of the divided allegiance of the Catholics, and not, as they said, on account of their reli gious faith ; for the Jews acknowledge no foreign head, spiritual or temporal, nor is it pretended that their religious tenets have any mischievous political tendency, or are calculated either to subvert " the Constitution of 1688," or any other fundamental law which is viewed as the safeguard of our national institutions. If the spirit of our laws were personal, in stead of local, there would be no inconsistency in saying to the Jews, " Regulate yourselves the " domestic affairs of your own community, but " do not expect to be allowed, to partake in the " Government of the Christian People amongst -" whom you are settled." One of the most striking differences between the Roman Law, and that of the ancient Germans which succeeded to it, was that the former regarded men accord ing to the country in which they happened to live without reference to their origin, whilst the latter looked to the tribe and the race, to deter mine the laws to which individuals were subject . The Lombards and the Jews are alike instances of this ; for when they began to spread them selves over Europe, they established themselves respectively in particular streets or quarters of towns, where they lived as separate commu nities, being allowed to make their own social re gulations, without participating, or wishing to participate, in the municipal government of the city in which they dwelt. There is no consider able city in Europe, which eithof has not had, or still has, its Jew street and its Lombard- street, or other communities in it distinc from its citizens. The Jews in Frankfort, where there are about five thousand, have at this day the power of making various rules, or bye-laws, for their own body, and were formerly much more independent than they are now. They were, therefore, not exclu'led from municipal privileges without reason, for the Judoz-gasse was, and still is to many purposes, a distinct region from the rest of Frankfort, as was sufficiently marked by the practice of lock ing the Jews within their gates at night, which was here recently discontinued, on account of a fire which broke out in the night, and burned to death great numbers of the Jews, who were unable to escape, but is still continued in Rome, and probably elsewhere. Viewin g the Jews, in this manner, as aliens, not subject to the laws of the Christians, but to those of their own tribe, we have an intelligible reason for excluding them from the civil rights of the Christians; -16 long as they have civil rights of their own. — This was the law of the middle ages ; and it is perfectly clear that it is inapplicable to the present state of society in Great Britain, beciuse the Jews born in it are natural born subject and not aliens—are bound by the same laws in all respects as Christians—have no power of regulating the affairs of their tribe as a sepa rate community—and have the same interest as others in the fortunes of the country at large. It is consequently nothing else than persecution to deprive them of political rights, and differs only in degree from the massacres of the Em peror ADRIAN, or the still more bloody slaugh ter committed by the crusaders in the cause of Christianity, of whom GIBBON says, " their " genuine leaders (may we credit such folly ?) " were a goose and a goat, who were carried in " the front, and to whom these worthy Chris " tians ascribed an infusion of the Divine Spirit." We have also our geese and goats in the nineteenth century, to take the lead in advo cating the continuance of persecution in the name of religion. We have likewise those, who, though neither geese nor goats, look upon the relief of thirty thousand Jews as a matter of no national importance one way or the other, and are therefore indifferent to an act of justice. But it can hardly be believed, that the same Parliament which has so honourably distin guished itself as the Parliament of religious toleration, will sully its reputation for the just principles on which it has hitherto acted, by re fusing to a few petitioners, because they are but a few, the same boon that is granted to many, when the many asked it, confiding in the strength of their numbers. Conduct of this kind would not be less disgraceful to the character of Parlia ment than to that of an individual. ELECTION AT THE EAST INDIA HOUSE (THIS DAY.) Great bustle prevails at the India House this morning, in consequence of the election for six Directors in lieu of those who go out by rotation. More than usual curiosity is excited to learn the result of the ballot, as there are four candidates in opposition to the House list, some of whom have great support from a large body of the Proprietors. Great influence has been used to render the election of Messrs. Baillie, Carnac, Lushington, Muspratt, and gram sure, the more importance being attached to the election, and to having a complete union in the Directors, in consequence of the approaching discussions in Perlis ruent on the subject of the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. The Proprietors who have been canvassing for Directors' seats in opposition to the House list are Mr. Thomas Baring, Mr. George Lyall, Mr. Russell Ellice, and Mr. Charles Mackinnon, all well known as being intimately connected with trade and commerce. The ballot com menced at nine o'clock, and will close at six this evening. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 GK. Sincapore Papers to the 25th October, and Cape of Good Hope to the 3d January, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. Madras piece goods in no demand at present. An auc tion sale was attempted, but no offers were made within 25 per cent. of the prime cost. COTTON Twisr.—Sales of Turkey red colour hare been made at 160 dollars per picul, and a small quantity of mixed colour at 130 dollars. PEPPER.—Some large parcels have been sold at 5i dol lars per picul. Ortum—in request ; several sales have been made— Benares, from 84:5 to 860 cash ; 900 to 975 on credit ; Patna, 935 in barter for paper, at 51 per picul. We regret to learn from Batavia, that the market for European piece goods was in a very depressed state; the only article in demand were very low qualities of cambrics. The Honourable the Governor embarked on board the Nereide, for Malacca. The Cape of Good Hope Papers state that the harvest is not likely to turn out so favourable as was expected. The cattle farmers have in general fair prices this season, and there yet remains a good supply for the butcher. The French frigate Terpsichore, which was present at the bombardment of Tamatave, proceeded subsequently to Foul Point, where the natives received information of the proceedings at Tamatave. The Black Governor at Foul Point retreated into the interior, and was followed by the French until they were checked by a stockade, on which he erected guns ; the French were repulsed with the loss of forty-two men, amongst whom was the Governor of Santa Marie, whose head was sent on a pole to the Queen of the Island. LIVERPOOL ' APRIL 12.—The improvement we noticed last week in the Pine Timber Market has been fully sup ported during the present week, and the demand seems to be on the increase. The quantity taken out of the market is considerable. No vessels are at present discharging. The sales of Baltic timber during the week have been only to a trifling extent. Nothing of consequence has been done in Indigo. THE FUNDS. It is again a holiday with the Hebrews, which ends to morrow evening; consequently, few of them have as yet made their appearance in the house; Consols, which left off yesterday at 931 for the account, opened at the same price, and 94 sellers for next account. The market con- tinues steady although next Friday will be settling-day in Consols. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds have lowered . _ _ 1 per cent. owing to a report from Madrid that the above Stock had considerably declined there. In other Foreign Securities . there is, as yet, little or nothing doing. EN GLISH, FUNDS. Bank Stock, 216 17 3/ per Ct. 100 India Stock, New 4 per Cent., 102/ per Cent.

The annual election at the India House fur Directors, and the absence of the Hebrews at the Stock Exchange, causes a great dulness in the Funds. Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 93a ;1 for the Account, have receded to 933 and 934 for the next Account, with little business doing up to the present time. We do not hear of any Express from Paris ; this may be attributed to its being a holiday in the above capital. A sale of 50,0001. Consols took place in the course of the morning, which damped the market. In the Foreign Market, Spanish, which fell about 1 per cent. in the morning, have rather recovered their price; in other securities little or nothing doing. THREE O' CL CK. Consols 93i 3. By the annual report of the Society for the Discharge and Relief of Persons imprisoned for Small Debts throughout England and Wales, it appears that no less than 1,558 debtors have been restored to liberty dur ing the last year, at the trifling average expence of 21. 13s. 6d. for each person. HECTOR Muxßo, who was apprehended near Old Me!drum, and lodged in gaol at Aber.leen, on suspicion of being concerned in the late murder of his aunt, HELEN MACKENZIE, at Invergordon, is, by a justiciary warrant, to be removed to the gaol of Tain, to abide fur ther proceedings on the charge against him.— Caledonian Mereury.

The supplies of all sorts of Grain this week are mode rate, and of Flour very small. The Wheat trade is ex tremely dull to-day, but the factors are not disposed to take less prices than on Monday. Barley is unaltered in value. Beans and Pease of fine quality are so scarce that more money is again asked for those articles. There has been a slack demand for Oats to-day at no alteration in value. Flour still continues to meet a very dull sale. • ARRIVALS. Wheat. I Barley. Oats. I Flour. English Irish l5O --8,780 Foreig" -- brls. HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.) SMITHFIELD.

This morning the last and extreme sentence of the law was carried into effect against Thomas Sales, aged 27, who was convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions of a daring burglary at Epping, the country residence of Mr. Bowles, the print-seller, in St. Paul's Church-yard.— The entire particulars of the atrocious facts con nected with this robbery have already been fully de tailed. Since the committal of the prisoner he never seriously entertained the least hope of mercy, although he in many respects acted as though he was morally and physically certai❑ of long life. After the arrival of the awful warrant of death by which his days were num bered, he became more taciturn than formerly, but he nevertheless manifested no symptoms of real penitence. He would listen with profound attention to the voice of his spiritual instructors, but he seemed to be a complete sceptic. The Governor of the Prison observed this morning, in the hearing of persons in attendance for the Press, that he had never seen a person who appeared so callous in regard to a future state as this unfortunate young man, whose conduct in other respects was uniformly good. There were some matters connected with the robbery which he has ex plained, and it is due to him to observe that he has made every disclosure in his power. In consequence of something which he has thrown out Mr. Bowles is likely to recover a favourite time-piece—but the cul prit acknowledged that the portrait of Mr. Carver, the late partner with Mr. Bowles, was burnt, with some papers which are said to have been of great value to Mr. Bowles, jun. This morning, at an early hour, the unfortunate man was visited by Mr. Cotton and Mr. Baker ; it was left entirely to his own choice whether he would take the sacrament. After the nature of it was ex plained to him he did so, but it would be almost overstraining a merciful opinion to imagine that he derived any consola tion. At a little before eight o'clock both the Sheriffs, their Chaplains, and one of the Under Sheriffs, arrived at the prison, preceded by their officers. The prisoner was then brought down from the upper to the lower room; he ap peared completely abstracted from every earthly considera tion ; his countenance was florid, his step steady, and his muscles firm. When the officers were tying his wrists, he said in a low voice, " Don't bind me so tight." Mr. Baker whispered to him that the Sheriffs had kindly enquired after his welfare, and desired to know whether'he had any wish to communicate. He shook his head, and then raising his eyes to the Sheriffs, gave a nod of apparent gratitude, and immediately afterwards the melancholy procession advanced towards the scaffold, the Ordinary reading a portion of the burial service, and the prison bell announcing that the culprit was ad vancing toward it. As he passed through the inner lobby he shook hands with several turnkeys, and on his arrival at the lodge he was ushered to the scaffold, when, by the expert movement of Calcraft, the new executioner, the earthly sufferings of the unhappy young man terminated. He bad an uncle in London, a rich West Indian merchant, who used every effort to save his ill-fated nephew, but in vain. It appears that a few days since a person ena moured of the convict, in a fit of phrenzy, took a quan tity of vegetable poison, and now lies in Guy's Hospital without hopes of recovery—this fact was concealed from the prisoner. OLD BATLEY. THE ENSUING SESSIONS. It will be seen by the following statement, that the Ca lendar is not only numerically exceedingly heavy, but that the crimes of an unusual portion of the offenders subject them, if convicted, to the last penalty of the law, there being no less than 72 charged capitally ! There are of this number 28 for housebreaking, and 20 for stealing in the dwelling-house—a dreadful increase when compared with the corresponding session of last year. It is also lamentable to observe, that there are no less than 61 pri soners charged with stealing from the person, or what are techically termed street robberies.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. GAY'S Beggars' Opera, in a condensed form, was last night produced here, on which occasion, after an absence of three years, Miss STEPHENS made her appearance as Polly. She was received with considerable applause, and executed her airs chastely and sweetly, if not with all her former power and variety. Most of them were encored, especially her favott-,. rite " Cease your funning," which brought down vehement applause from all parts of the house. Madame VEsTuts appeared a, Captain Macheath, and sung, as she always does, with taste and skill. Mrs. GLOVER—that judiciotts actress—represented Mrs. Peachum, for the first time • it . was an admirable performance. H ARLEY ma d e an expert Filch, and Mrs. C. JONES a shrewish Lucy. COVENT-GARDEN. ROSSINI'S Cenerentola—or Cinderella, or the Fairg Queen, and the Glass Slipper, was brought out last night at this theatre. The music was well arranged ; and was of course eminently successful. Miss Paroti was Cinderella, Miss CAWSE and Miss HUGHES, the two sisters Clorinda and Thisbe. Mr. WOOD was the Prince; Mr. MORLEY, Dandini ; Mr. PENSON, aid Baron; and Mr. KEELEY undertook the part of th e Baron's Valet, which he performed with infinite s pirit and comic archness. Mr. PENSON made an excellent Don Magnifico. The dresses and the scenery in parti• cular of this opera are of the most splendid description.—. At the close of the opera, the applause was general and vehement, a compliment as much owing to the acting and singing as to the magnificent scenes and decorations of the piece. In the ball scene a kind of ballet was introduced, in which dances front the Guillaume Tell of the King's Theatre were given. TOTTENHAM-STREET THEATRE. We are much gratified in observing that this pleasant Theatre, under its present active management, continues to increase in public favour. During the short recess the scenic department has been considerably improved, and 3 new proscenium and drop-scene added, which are very tastefully executed. The new farce of Speculation, which was performed on Monday evening, increased in favour on each repetition. VINING'S acting iu it is clever in the extreme. The Spectre Boat was repeated last night, for the benefit of Mr. CHAPMAN, the Acting Manages.. Hie performance of Hawthorn, in Love in a Village, reflects great credit upon his abilities. Mrs. CHAPMAN (late Miss A. TREE) deserves favourable mention for her effective support to the Opera. The Gazette of last night contains an order in Council for granting the privilege to Austrian ships, to import from the dominion of the Emperor of AUSTRIA into any of the British possessions abroad, goods, the pro duce of such dominions, and to export goods from such British possessions abroad, to be carried to any foreign country whatever. By the death of ROBERT TALBOT, Esq., of Stone Castle, near Dartford, a Cornroissionership of Bank rupts has become vacant on the Sixth List. WILLIAM KAY, Esq., proprietor of the Tying Park estate, at his rent audit on Monday week, made a return to his tenantry of from 15 to 20 per cent., according to the situation and nature of their respective farms. On Saturday last GEORGE ROOTS, Esq., .of .• Lincoln's-inn, was unanimously elected Recorder of the town and corporation of Kingston-upon-Thames, in the room of THOMAS EVANCE, Esq. deceased. Yesterday (Friday) a petition was lodged in the Hanaper-office, against the return of Mr. DAN. CAL LAGHAN for the city of Cork. The petition is grounded on the fact, that Mr. CALLAGHAN was concerned in a Government contract at the time of the election, and during the execution and return of the writ; also for bribery, and for the returning officer having allowed a number of votes for Mr. CALLAGHAN, who were not entitled to vote, and for disallowing a number of votes for Mr. NEWENHAM, who were entitled to vote. Another petition was to be lodged this day by the settlers under the Act of CHARLES 11., who tendered their votes for Mr. NEWENHAM, and were refused.—Dublin Everting Post. We are concerned to hear that the spirit of insubordination and violence, which a few weeks since manifested itself in some parts of the mining district, has extended itself into the neighbouring parishes, and that since Saturday se'nnight, the whole of the workmen in the Mon mouthshire colleries have abandoned their work ; and still more sorry are we to add, that most unwarrantable and illegal acts have been perpetrated. The cause assign e d for the outrages, and for the colliers leaving their work, is a requisition on the part of the masters for a reduction in the price given for cutting and getting of coal, rendered necessary by the great reduction in time sale price of that article at Newport.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. FORMATION OF SHOT.--It is the cohesive principle which gives rotundity to grains of shot : the liquid metal is allowed to fall like rain from a great eleva tion. In its descent the drops bocome truly globular, and before they reach the end of their fall they are hardened by cooling, so that they retain their shape.--. Dr. Lard ner's Cabinet Cyc&predict, Vol. V. LOVE.—The true key of the universe is love. That levels all inequalities, " makes low the mountain, and exalts the valley," and brings human beings of every age and every station into a state of brotherhood. " The lion and the lamb lie down together—th e leopard dwells with the kid ; and a little child shall lead them." What unprejudiced man can look abroad in the world, and not see this ? The splendid sun, the cerulean sky, the ma jestic trees, the green earth, the thousand colours that enamel the mead, the silver stream in beauty composed and serene, living in the endless flow of its waters, all talk of what softens the heart and inspires affection and kindness to our dispositions and feelings. Has not God made man the crown of his works, and stamped all his limbs with majesty and grace ? And shall we treat with harshness and indignity what God has chosen for his living temple ? No, the man that is austere to his brother mortal, is the true, the practical atheist._-_ Godwin. WHY A ROPE-DANCER CARRIES A POLE'. The feats of rope .dancers are experiments on the ma nagement of the centre of gravity. The evolutions of the performer are found to be facilitated by holding in his hat.d a heavy pole. His security in this case depends, not to the centre of gravity of his body, but on that of his bay and the pole taken together. This point is near the centre of the pole; so that, in fact, he may be said to hold in I io hands the point on the position of which the facility of his feats depend. Without the aid of the pole, the centre of gravity would be within the trunk of the body, and its I G 0• sition could not be adapted to circumstances with the same ease and rapidity.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia, Vol. V.
