The show of cattle was in Hope's Field, near the Ty thing ; and the dinner, which was a very excellent one, at the Star Hotel. RICHARD GairriTns,Esq. of Thorngrove, was the President. After the re moval of the cloth the awards for cattle were made. The Judges, upon declaring their awards, co ngratulated the society on the excellence of the stock generally exhibited upon this occasion, and more particularly adverted to the sheep shewn by Sir A ...EcHMERE, which they pro nounced to possess very extraordinary merit. The collections at the door of the Cathedral during the late Worcester Music Meeting have been increased to 8771. 115..6d. by a donation of fifty guineas from Earl PLYMOUTH. Other sums are expected to follow, in which case the charity will be benefitted nearly to the same extent as at the preceding meeting in 1818. The paragraph, which we copied from a morn ing Paper, relating to the adventures of two re spectable gentlemen, with a brace of:non-doscript Pigs—of_ the wild boar species—in the innermost recesses of a: wood in_ Monmouthshire, is put down-as a pure specimen of invention, in a letter from one of the parties to the paper in question. (Morning Paper.) And first, as " the front and head of the of fence " let us advert to the Treasury. In order to'draw a just conclusion, it will be necessary to examine minutely the establishment of that officein the years 1796, 1309, and 1820, and to compare the number of Clerks and the extent of business transacted by them, with the amount of their emoluments_ at those severe periods. _ By referring to the Fifteenth Report of the Finauce.Comtnittee, alluded, to in my preceding number, it will' be seen that the establishment of the Treasury, exclusive of . , the Revenue De partment, consisted, in the year 1796, of four Chief Clerks, six - Senior Clerks, and nineteen Subordinate ASsistants, and that the number of Papers registered in the same year, amounted to 4,830. In consequence of ,the great increase of business in every subsequent year, and the in adequacy of the existing Salaries, an additional allowance was made to each individual in the year 1809, according to length of service, on a progressive scale; which addition could in no case exceed 4001. per annum. • Seven Clerks were at the same time added to the former num ber, 'Making in the whole 36. The Establish ment as it stood on the 31st of December last, consisted of four Chief Clerks, six Senior Clerks, and thirty two Assistants, making a total addi tion of 13 Juitior Clerks to the Establishment, in the space of twenty-four years. But this ad dition beaks no proportion to the vast increase of business, inasmuch as the number of Papers re gistered in 1796 was only 4830, whilst those registered during the last year amounted to up wards of 26,000, according to the Returns made to the House of Commons ; so that although the business of the office has increased in a quintuple ratio, the nur.ber. of efficient Clerks has not been doubled. These observations apply, in a great degree, to all the Public Offices, for, if the Treasury is the heart and centre of circulation, the,, other Departments are the arteries through which. that circulation passes, and if a larger quantity of water is thrown into the reservoir, the channels which convey it must furnish a proportionably greater supply. It is not unworthy of remark, that no addition whatever has been made to the number of Chief Clerks, or to that of Senior Clerks, since the year 1796. Nor has anycompensation whatever been made to them, subsequent to the year 1809, for the additional labour and, attention which so great an increase of business must necessarily have pro duced. The official documents heretofore cited prove that the Papers received at the Treasury have increased at the average rate of 900 annu ally, during the last 24 years., It was judge - d expedient, in the year 1809, to increase the Clerks' Salaries, on the old sound and simple principle 9f, " The more work the more . .pay ;" or, to use the language Of, " The Reports," so great an increase of business . jus , : tified an increase of Salary in proportion to the addition of labour." But the framers of this precious new Scheme act upon a totally different principle, and by an entirely new rule of arith metic of their own invention ; the rule of retro= grgilatian, which operates "by an inverse ratio of remuneration, so that in proportion as the busi ness and labour of the Clerks increase.,,their Sa lariesare to be diminished. We will now consider the plan, as it bears upon the Junior Clerks ; I mean those who have been about eight' or nine years in office, none of whose Salaries exceed 200/. per annum, and very few indeed amount to that sum. ,'They have been looking forward with anxious solid tude to the expiration of the term of ten years service, at .which period they would be entitled, by the Order in Council of 1809, to an addi tional allowance of 1201. per annum. Many of them, in consequence of the insufficiency of their Salaries for their necessary support, have in curred debts, which they . have no means of dis charging, if that engagement is not punctually , fulfilled. Are stipulations . so sacred to be treat ed thus lightly•? .What answer can their Patron give to these ill treated persons, when they ad dress him in language like the following :—" You placed me in my present situation, under the most positive assurances,.that at a certain period my income would be raised to a specific amount. I accepted the. situation on the faith of those promises. I have made my arrangements ac cordingly. - The day is arrived when those en gagements ought to be fnalled.• They are set at nought, and I am undone,—lt is now too late in the day for me to seek another profession,—my future prospects in . life are for ever blasted. To my latest breath must I curse the hour when you placed me in your office." The second class of . Clerks ;—those, for in stance, of 18 or - 19 years standing, have still . stronger grounds of complaint. These are chiefly married' men, having families to provide - for, many of s whom have raised money on bond to place out their children in the world ; to be re paid by instalments, out of the addition to their allowances, Which they considered themselves as certain of receiving at no, distant period. The more prudent part of them have insured their livtls, to the highest . amount that their income will admit., in order to Maki- some provision for their widows and' children, in the event of their death. If this unjust and oppressive plan is car ried into efect; they will be compelled either to deprive'themselves of the common comforts of life, or to dispose - of their policy of insurance, at a price much beneath its , i4eal value, in order to save the annual expence of the premium, and thus deprive their families- of that future provi sion which they had been for years labouring to secure to them, at the price of many personal privations. Come we now to•the last Class—Those who for upwards of thirty years- have borne the bur then and heat'of the day. Are these men also to be mulcted of their hard earned stipend ? When they complain to the First Lord of the Treasury of, a breach of his engagements, can he, in the language of the Lord of the vineyard, say to them, " Friend! I do -thee no wrong, take that that is thine own not agree with thee for u penny There is yet another Chtss,of Clerks, and. a numerous one it is, upon. whom this grievous and unjust measure would preSs with particular sev.erity, namely upon all those whose daily offi cial duties, prior to 1809, commenced at 10 O'clock and closed at 2, and who did not attend at all on Red Letter Days.—With these persons Go vernment have entered into a direct contract of bargain and sale. The Clerks have biirtered the only valuable commodity they possessed, their time, against the coin of their employers. Their hours of daily attendance were, in consequence, extended from 2 till 4 o'clock, and all their holi days were done aWaY,—ln this traffic, as in all others between Government and the Clerks, the balance of profit was in favour of the former ; for the augmentation made to the Clerk'S sala ries was in the ratio of only one-third, whilst their labours' were increased in the proportion of nine to live •• • • By this arrangement, the Clerks gave up a large portion of their time to the'service of the public, from which they had, till then, derived no inconsiderable emolument, by employing it in the counting-houses of individuals. This I know . to be fact, from my, own experience. Is this coral. pact now to be • broken which has been held sacred for more than twelve years ? Are these men to be defrauded of their wages for the paltry saving of- a • few hundred pounds per annum ? Such a system of trickery may perhaps suit the meridian 'of Baltimore or of Batavia. It may perchance do well enough iu the pen of a Dutch Planter, or in the store of a Yankee Huckster. But is it fitting that it should be adopted, by the Ministers of an Empire, which, for commercial consequence, for extent of ter ritory, population, and of resources, stands un rivalled amongst civilized nations ? Sir, I would add much more tnshew that the plan is oppres sive and unjust, -and that , it, involves a direct breach Of faith on the part of Government, but. I have already established my position' by irrefrag abk proof.—lt never can,he carried, into effect. The thing is impossible—l know it may be said, that Parliament may do anything.- -I do not, deny that to Parliament all things are lawful —but all things are not expedient. Parliament in the • plenitude of it 'power may abolish the Sabbath, or may decree that " Sunday shall, not shine a Sabbath day" to the poor Clerks; and say, with Drawcansir, " and this I do because I 'dare." Sic vole, sic jubeo, scat proratione voluntas." But such enactments would be na less a trans gression of the laws of God, than they would be a violation of that fundamental human law, which binds society together,—the immutable rule of right. Dulwich, Oct. 18. MERCATOR. [The. Remainder to-morrow.l NOMINATION OF A- ILEHt.E.LNTATIVE FUR SllttorsmltE.-A. numerous meeting of the Free holders of this County took place at Shrewsbury, on Monday last, under the presidency of 'the High Sheriff, 44 to consider of a proper person to be put in nomination as a /Representative in 'the room of the late J. CoTEs, Esq." when, on the proposition of W. CLIVE, Esq. seconded by the Rev. Archdeacon CORBETT, ROWLAND HILL, ES q. was unanimously approved of. The elec tion was to commence yesterday. SHERIFFS OF YORK.---Mr. ALLEN, W 110• Ara , elected one of the Sheriffs of York, having re-, fused to serve the office, being a Dissenter, the corporate body met on Saturday week, and Mr, ALLEN in person expressed his determination as above. It was therefore resolved, that a man damus should be procured as . soon as possible from the Court of King's Bench, to oblige Mr. ALLEN to shew cause why he has refused to serve the office. On reference to the records of the Corporation, it was discovered that there is a law still existing in York, which subjects every than refusing to serve the office of Sheriff to a penalty of 1501. A new Sheriff must, of course, now be chosen as soon as the requisite routine f;'? etiquette can be obsetved ; but the charter day having gone by, authority to proceed-to . another election must be procured 'frGa the Court of Ring's Bench; and, in the, diean time, the city of York will remain destitute of effective She- . riffs, as those who served the - office last year have now no right or power to act, nor. can Mr. Sheriff Woon, the respectable citizen who was chosen Along with Mr. ALLEN, enter on his office alone.—( Tyne illereurs.) The industry of the oyst.er dredgers, in the; harbour of the purt of Chichester, promises to - be well rewarded. The vitch is plenteous in the extreme. Similar tisiri which, four years ago. were sold'as high as 3s. 6d. and even 4s. per hundred, are now sold at Cowes, at the very mo derate price of $.;,,d, l\la. EDlTor.,—lna former communication, I enumerated many important services rendered by the Greeks to civilization ; and I believe no. person ever yet thought of denying the claims of ancient Greece, the classic land of the' arts and of liberty, to the gratitude of civilized nations, to whom she gave both the precept and the example, and who could not, and cannot do bet ter than follow the models which have been left them. But the modern Greeks have, in addi t;on, special rights, to the gratitude of Europeans, and need not bring forward the recollections of Athens in support of their pretensions. This celebrated town was eclipsed by Rome, which rose to pre-eminence on her ruins ; but the latter was in her turn despoiled by Constantinople, where the Greeks re-appeared with some degree of splendour, and made the arts and letters flou rish again a second time. As a great number of Roman families had been transported into new Byzantium by Constantine, that which in reality was the Greek, for a long time was called the Roman Empire. The historians of the Low Em pire wished that their countrymen should be considered Romans, and gave, them no other name, which has been, however, disputed with reason. This appellation reminded the reader of the masters of the world, and seemed to impart a portion of their glory to the Byzantines : and, doubtless, this was the motive which induced the Greeks to persist in appropriating it, but the glory which they so ambitiously coveted had its source in Athens, and that' which the Romans acquired was neither so splendid nor so durable, because in. Greece the influence of the arts, and the enthusiasm they inspired, were the means of producing chefs-d'ceuvre of all kinds. Victory and conquests only render a nation immortal, as long as she possesses poets, historians, and artists to hand down to posterity records and . representations of them. Without shining so re splendently as. Rome, Constantinople was not however devoid of lustre ; but as she . was in debted for it to her admirable position, to the monuments which ornamented her, there was, in fact, more of splendour in it than of true glory. To form an adequate idea of the perfection which the arts had reached in this magnificent capital, we refer to the description given °fit by NICETAS, at the period when the crusaders - got possession of the town. Constantinople was the asylum of . the sciences and of letters, whilst Europe was plunged in bar barous ignorance. The schism which separated the Greeks froth the Latins inspired both parties with mutual hatred, put almost an entire stop to all communications, and rendered scarce and dif ficult that intercourse which is so essential to the progress of civilization. The fall'of the empire compelled many Greeks to take refuge in Europe, and was thecause of the revival of letters. "This restoration would havemade little progress," says COMNENUS " if Constantinople had not been " taken and sacked by IVlAno*ur 11., and we " should not have been again enabled to say 44 Graxia capta ferum victorem cepit, et artes " lntulit agresti Latio. 44 For this event obliged LASCARIS, CHRYSA;• LOr:-US. CHALCONDILUS, BESSAnIOIJ, MARUL-. " Lush in 'one word, all the learned men of "Greece, to withdraw. for safety into the King " doms of Europe, and they carried with them c' ,all. the ancient authors, without which we ".could not have made further progress." This was paying at too dear a rate for an advantage which might have been'obtained on more easy terms by reconciling the Greeks and the Latins. The emigration, hOWever, was so considerable that, according to the: testimony of a cotemporary author, you might at Rome have fancied your self at Athens, so .ve4^s , - common did the Greek •language become in a l'hort•tithe. The removal of the ancient authois from by ConstantinOple the .G reeks was the most favourable con_ sequence of itn event iii every other respect'SerdisaStrous : the benefit resulting from it was real, and is in contestible : and' we.are indebted to the Modern Greeks for all the delightful pleasure we derive from' the arts and froM letterS? The value of these treasures did not long remain unknown, or unprofitable : their beneficial effects were 'soon' felt ; and the rapid progress of the human mind, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, which was, however, suddenly arrested' by the religious Wars, would be inexplicable but for the impulsion given .by . the refugees from Constantinople. • This period, which . cOmprises . rather more than half a century, deserves an historian it is as it were isolated from that which goes before and that Which comes after it; it prepared the way for the Augustan age of this country and of France, because "the impulse it gave was outs 4010nd:ed.._ The fermentation of minds thirsting for kiinvaedge 'cooled during the CITIZENS LEGISLATORS-:—The happy events WI ikaro brought about the union of all the Haytians under the Empire of our Constitution, have fully accomplished my wishes, inas -much as the confidence which has been re-established becom6 stronger every day, and that in spite of the attempts of mall-. folence, it -is no evident that the fate of our country is _irit:iyo cably fixed. For a long period our determination to defend with our lives the liberty and indepeodenee of our country has been known to the Whale universe ; but nevertheless Our mies still found their hopes upOn our intestine-diviAiOns ; az - A notwithstanding the fatality with which a deplorable war we 3 kept up, there are no machinations which they have, not em ployed to endeavour to bring about our . destruction. truth is too generally known to render it necessary' to defel.)l,2 the proofs of it. It is sufficient for me' to recommend to the Constituted Authorities; and to all my felloW countryincn, 'to maintain that union and concord upon which their safety mug t depend, constantly to bear in mind that the welf►re to which 'they have a right can only be eonsolidated by the ce of good . order, and preserving ourseh•es fro►n_ the scourge of anarchy, Which we have as much 'reason to abhor as that ty ranny, which, thanks to Frovidence, has, been annihilated for ever. My intentions, always in harmony with the Constitutional Act, were, since the entire pacification. of the territory, to. con yoke the Communes of Artibonite and of the North, for tl:e nomination of Members who are to represent them in this Chamber; but the execution of this project was prevented by the disturbances which ambition fomented shortly. after that period, but which, in their result, . have only served still more to prove the strength of the Republic: It was natural to in consequence, that this convocation would he deferred till next year, but actuated by.a desire to bring about by every pc's sible means an unity of sentiment, I have invited f these two Departments to proceed to the choice of their Rept:6-. sentatives. I therefore hope, that in the course of the pi4s"eit Session they will co-operate in your labours. Citizens, Representatives, it is satiSfiTtory to me, unclerilicse favourable circumstances, to have to annotuice, that. tire Fi nances of the State are in the most prosperous situation,. and that_the new granters of land have diligently. set about - their cultivation.• Every thing tends to indicate that. the piThfic prosperity will every year increase in - a remarkable prO7.-ei sion, and that the situation of these proprietors will be sensibly ameliorated. • In the different branches of the public service the funct!on. arses have honourably distinguished. themselves ; our relations with Foreign States are upon an advantageous footing. - The Army, whose conduct has always been so .glorious, • has not ceased to give proofs of the purest devotion—it deserves the% highest praise.—What motives for satisfaction !
