THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, June 14. [MORNIMI HERALD.] There are various accounts of defeats of the Turks; but without authentic accounts.we should be slow of credit. The naval force has been attacked and damaged by the Greek flotilla in the Archipelago and along the coast of Epirus. On land, Ali, who, with his characteristic mi lling, sent abroad the rumour of his own death, has united with the Suliots, defeated the Otto man General-in-Chief, and is in full march to the assistance of the Greeks in the Morea. In fact, it appears that the insurrection in Walla chia and Moldavia is trilling compared with the movements in Greece, properly so called, and in .‘Asia Miner. We do not presume to give any opinion of the probable issue of, this horrible contest; but it cannot be denied that the (:reeks have greatly advanced in strength, phy sical and intellectual, since the disastrous attempt of the Empress Catherine to liberate them from the Turkish yoke. They have acquired into their hands almost the whole commerce of Thrace, Macedonia, and Asia Minor. We have seen a statement of their commercial marine force at 1500 vessels and 30,000' seamen, before the breaking out of the insurrection. By their pru dence and activity in commerce they obtained wealth, which again enabled them to obtain, from the poverty and rapacity of the Treasury and Ministers at Constantinople, permission to mount their vessels with arms to protect them selves against the pirates of the Barbary coast.— That literature has made rapid progress among them is plain, even from the few notices given by Lord Byron. With the Greek mind thus expanding, and the national resources increasing, whilst the Turkish power has been rather on the decline, from inactivity and from natural decay, it may be anticipated, that however the contest should end, it is likely to be terrible and pro tracted. [BRITISH PRESS.] It has been urged that the removing of one pound notes from the currency will have no other effect than that of diverting the fabricators of bad notes from one pound notes to those of higher de nominations. We are not of this opinion. A shopkeeper will exercise more caution in taking a ten pound or a five pound note than he might have used in taking a one pound note, and the power of tracing the forgery of a large note to its source will for the same reason be facilitated. — Besides, notes of tbe denomination of one pound are more required in the ordinary retail trade thin those of a larger amount, and in proportion as the necessity of incurring a certain risk be comes diminished, the unwillingness to encounter it will increase. The public may be assured fiat caution on their parts in taking notes will eventually, prove the most effectual mean's of correcting the evil of an extensive system of for gery. FIVIORNING CHRONICLE.] All the Ministerial Papers, with the exception .of one; have, for several days, preserved silence with respect to the Association in question. (Con stitutional Association.) Are we to infer from this, that Ministers have come to the determina tion of discountenancing this wicked scheme We consider them, indeed, in some degree pledged to set their faces against it. They cannot, surely, have forgot the assurances which they gave the Booksellers of this Metropolis at the. time their new laws against the Press struck such a well-founded terror into that re'spectable body. Every man in the trade knew that the device • which was the other day resorted to by the Association to entrap King, might be successfully resorted to in the case of almost any individual ; because it is absolutely impossible for a Bookseller to make himself ac-' (painted svi:h the contents of most of the works which - pass through his hands. _The Deputation - which waited on Ministers. stated, we believe, these circumstances, and _urged that they would 'not merely be at the mercy of. the public prose cutor, (which did not so much alarm them), but at the mercy of all those who might choose, from wicked and malicious motives, to atternpt their ruin. The Attorney-General assured them that they had nothing to fear on that account, as prosecutions against them would 'only be brought forward by Government, and - they could never Suppose that Government would lend themselves to such oppressive measures as they had antici pated. [THE 'TIMES.] We are told from Vienna that Lord Stewart is : preparing for the ,conclusion of his Long-lived embassy•to that caPital. We have‘not heardnor innuired what is to become of that Noble Lord. We publish an interesting correspondence from Leipsie, which, so far as relates to the Turkish Government, presents a disguiting picture (See 'another column of our Paper) ; and.in: what con cerns our fellow Christians at ConstantinOple, frightful 6110, of the state of that ungoverned' city : yet, up on th e w h o l e, the Greek cause seems', in'spite of these atrocities, to Le rather rising that., falling. [NEW TINES.] CONSTITUTION IL ASSOCIATION.-The Radi• cals, when it 'suit their purpose, could eagerly avail themselves of the power of accusation against hick they now so loudly complain. 'The ,could raise a purse to carry on the Inquest at.,oldham, to prefer Bills of Indictment against the Man chester Yeorrya . nry, and, to manage the prosecu tion of Mr. D enn i s d'Brian, which if it was not a malicious prosecution, had at least as much the air of one ,as any that ever fell under our observation. If this could be done with a dis tinct reference to each particular case, and con sequently with all the danger of personal and . local prejudices, how much less objectionable must it be in the eye of reason to associate for the general prosecution of a class of offenders, without any previous knowledge of the particular individual who may render himself liable to prosecution ! In the eye of the law the Associa tions both cases are exactly the 'same, and can only be impeachable. on specific proof of personal ltrialice against an innocent and unoffending indi tvidual. Our Manehester Letters concur in re pres-knting the state of that town and, neighbour hood as presenting - a most pleasing contrast to the prospect which it exhibited during the sedi tious and alarming movements of Hunt and his crew. Trade, which at that time was slack, is now brisk and active ; the numbers of manu facturing labourers then unemployed, or em ployed but for a few hours in the day-, are now in full work ; and wages, which were then low, are improved, and still rising. This is the more remarkable, because it has been ascer tained"by the new Census, that the population of Manchester and its neighbourhood has increased, since the Census of 1811, by no less a number than 46,000 souls. So vast an addition to the supply of labour must necessarily have sunk the price of that commodity (that_ is to say, the poor man's compensation for his work) to an extremely low ebb, unless it had been counterbalanced by a great augmentation of demand for the manufactured articles. At the same time, it is not t' be forgotten how much the poor. people of Manchester owe to the worthy Magistrates, who rescued the town from imminent danger, on the occasion so wickedly de nominated the Manchester Massacre. Had the Ma gistrates at .hat time flinched from their painful duty, had they suffered the seditious to brave the laws with impunity, there would no 1011. ger have been - ; any safety in that town or neighbourhood for any man of property. — Every master-manufacturer, who could remove, .would have left the place, and would have transferred his capital to a quieter part of the country, or perhaps to a foreign clime ; and the consequence must necessarily have been, that many thousands in and about Manchester now in full work, and at good 'wages, must have literally perished with hunger, and thus expiated with their lives the guilt of those infamous incendiaries by whom they were deluded, and of that more infamous press which dared to stamp an act of painful but necessary duty, with the odious name of a massacre. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. (From the Hull Packet of June 11.) The war againSt the " Constitutional Association—against . the laws, against loyalty, and against truth, rages most fiercely. ' Every engine is obviously at work to defeat the laudable and patriotic exertions of this valuable Society. But let them per severe. They have on their side all that is honourable, and loyal, and decorous in the country; and they have of course against them, the needy traffickers in sedition and blasphemy, • the disaffected, and the factious. Mn. PARK INS,— the identical Mr. Parkins who styles him self on all official occasions, Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins---has made an application to the Lord Mayor of London, for warrants to apprehend " The Bridge Street Gang ;" that is, 'the heads of , an Association composed of individuals whose names, whose station in society, whose eminent talents, and whose unim peachable honour, may fearlessly scorn their depraved and vulgar assailants. But we behold in this system the true Ra dical mode of waging► hostility. Nor do we forget that when ; 'Jr. Sidney first too the conduct of this Paper, a species of brutal warfare was carried on against him, which calculated, that a high-minded Gentleman had a natural 'aversion to be blackguarded, and that he would, in consequence, withdraw from the unequal contest. In this, 'however,' they were de ceived, for Mr. S. hurled defiance in their teeth, kept his heel for ever raised against them, and at this moment watches them with the eye of a Lynx and the appetite of a Tiger. Again, Mr. Brougham has made one of his vigorous attacks in Parliament upon - this Association, formed chiefly for the pur pose of putting a check to the circulation of sedition and blas pherny, through the medium of the Press. But Mr. Brougham's opinion, however weighty on all other subjects, cannot be.per mitted to decide the character of the Constitutional Association, which lie has honoured with his invective. We know not whether this Association contain in itself the elements of much public good ; but sure we axe that it can do no harm, and that its objects are not onl legal but laudable. Th e d rea df u l out cry against it by the Hunts, and Hones, and Woolen, IT floe GE NUS 03INE, is no uneqoivocal compliment to its vigour, and hardly required the solemn con fi rmation o f Nl r. Brougham's remonstrance in Parlianient. 'We can see nothing either in the principle or the objects of the Association which can give rea sonable offence, except to the banded enemies of the constitu tion—or to some innocent and over-compassionate gentleman like Mr. Brougham, who, by a contradiction to all the known laws of human sympathy, feels a generous interest in the fate of. political libellers, just because he is not, and never was, a political libeller himself. • The Association proposes to aid in putting down blasphemy and sedition, as they are circulated by the Press; will any one deny that they are thus circulated to an unprecedented extent —or dare to assert in plain language, that the suppression of .so disgusting a nuisance would not be every way desirable ? It is not much more than a year since the Legislature proclaimed, by some novel enactments, the magnitude of the evil which the licentiousness of the Press was working; and there is no way' left, therefore, to the Whigs, in which they can decently im peach. the important statement. Th e L egis l ature h as ma d e salutary enactments—the laws have adequately provided for the punishment of offenders ; but the laws cannot be put in motion but by the aid of a public or private prosecutor. The office of an Attorney-General is an invidious one as to this most im portant matter ; and we cannot wonder if there be an occa sional shrinking from duty, most natural perhaps in the indi vidual, but most injurious to the public. What then is to be done ? Public and private prosecutors equally shrink in their individual characters from the risk and odium - of an urgent duty ; and that which individuals cannot or will not perform, must be done by combination. Where, then, is the offence of this union ? We grant that it must be an offence in the eyes of Mr. Brougham and of all others—if others there be—who concur with him in voting im punity to all sorts of political libels, provided at least that the .Legislature cannot reach them before hand by an apt definition —because every expedient which shall give vigour and certainty to the penal visitations of the law, must be deprecated by the man wno, in effect; condemns the whole system. But if the system 'be good and salutary, the combination which provides for giving it effect cannot be reprehensible. Why, after all, is Mr. Brougham so much startled .by the exertions of a comlnna tion not to elude but to aid in executing the laws ? Must there be no co-operation but upon one side_—and is it only in support of offenders that it has become lawful to combine ? A subscrip tion for Hone, who is by trade a vulgar, merciless libeller of all that is sacred to British feelings, was quite right; and the Whigs did not blush to lend to this Martyr the benefit of their countenance, and the less equivocal aid of their purses. Now, we would ask Mr. Henry Brougham, whether the combination and the Whig-Radical subscriptions,. which were to aid Hone in defying the law, or to co nso l e hi m for its inflictions, could be otherwise distinguished from the union and the contributions of the Members of the Constitutional ASsociatiOn, except that the one was destined to resist, and the other has been established to uphold, the laws of - the Country ? The Constitutional Asso ciation is accessary, of course, to the punishment of offenders, and we know the office is always invidious, but not always blameable • but the subscribers to Hone were accessar y t o th e pollution Of the public mind. and we know that such conduct can never be guiltless. To punish the offender may seem harsh, but must be wholesome and just ; to contaminate the People can never cease to be infamous. '• We repeat, that we duly .appreciate the motives which must have influenced Mr. Brougham in his late assault upon the Con stitutional Association—but we cannot so readily follow his arg uments. The Attorney Gener a l p rosecu t es b y ex officio information ; that is bad and tyrannical, and Mr. Brougham has said so an hundred times;' but the Constitutional Atsocia tion can only prosecute under the auspices of a Grand Jury, and yetstlie same Mr. Brough a m h as mos t cons i s t en tly d ec l are d that it is a great deal worse. The Whigs and Radicals have combined, and are yet perhaps combining ; but the Tories must not combine for any one purpose, nor contribute their mite to the good cause of the Constitution, without being de nounced as a new inquisition ag a in s t freedom, which must be put down. Such, at least; is the imperative and energetic lan guage which the reporters have presumed to put into the mouth ; of this accomplished Commoner, when speaking of the Con stitutional Association. But deeply as we are known to regret any.difference of opinion with so distinguished a statesman as Mr. Henry Brougham, we must take leave to Sv, that he aP;• pears in this instance 'to have been - rather more dictatorial than argumentative ; and, that we think better of the Constitutional Association, than to iiiiagine its existence to depend entirely on his fiat. The epithets " conspirady, &c. so liberally applied to the AssOciation, must go for nothing, of course • for it must be a nove l s p ec i es o f " i nqu i s i t i on " indeed that will consent to make its way to the detection of guilt through the forms of British justice, and the double defence of British juries. But it must ever be a. subject of regret to us, that the liberality of Mr. Brougham's theories should have in duced him to advocate that dangerous impunity for political libellers, of which he so little requires to claim the benefit in practice; and that the first and bitterest enemy in the house of'Commons of the Constitutional Association should have been the very man who, from the known temperance and decorum of his public discussions, has least of all others to apprehend its animadversion. LAW INTELLEGENCE. COj.IRT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 13. TENNISON V. MACKINTOSH AND CO. This was an action to recover the proceeds of certain ,goods shipped by the plaintiff to Calcutta, on board the Stockton, of which he was part owner, it being suggested that the goods in question were sold to a loss, contrary to the plaintiff's orders.— The only question was, whether the plaintiff was a party to the arrangement which the defendants bad made, with a view to what they considered for the advantap-e-of the parties interested. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found their verdict for the defendants. KITCHI:NTGITAM V. TALBOT. This was an action of assault and battery. There was nothing of general interest in the case. The action arose out of a public house quarrel. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages—One Shilling. OLD BAILEY. Yesterday the following prisoners were capitally convicted ; viz : Richard Luck and John Quitenden, for stealing a horse and a mare, the property of James Taylor. • • John Ryan, for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Norris, and stealing a gown and various other articles, value 30s. Sarah Gilham, for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thotnas Reeve and John Bomieil, two silk shawls, their property. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday the Grand Jury brought into Court the last cf the Bills that had been presented to them, and reported• to the Bench that they had visited the different prisons, and had found them in an excellent state. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the Jury on having come at length to the end of their labours, and thanked them in the name of their country for the very great attention they had paid. James Robinson was found Guilty of snatching and running away with a lady's reticule, in the street. The CHAIRMAN said, the offence was a highway robbery, for which the prisoner mighthave been indicted capitally, and pro bably be hanged. lie was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Timothy Driscoll was found guilty of picking a gentleman's pocket of a silk handkerchief. The prisoner wasu very young man; but, as appeared by the account given of him.by the officers, an old offender. , The CHAIII.M4N said, the most eirectual means of saving him from the gallows was, to transport him for life, which sentence was accordingly passed on him. THE LATE COUNTESS OF LIVERPOOL.—IIer Ladyship's suffering had been long and acute. Her recovery had for some • time been impro bable. But her last moments, we understand, were easy and tranquil—sure anticipation, let us trust, of that happy exchange she was about to make of a life of pain and trouble for one of end less tranquillity and happiness ! Her Ladyship was of excellent endowments—her natural talents had been improved by education, by reading and reflection ; she . had a clear and comprehensive mind—a sound and discriminating judgment. It is always gratifying to contemplate the union of moral to mental accomplishments ; to find wis dom combined with humanity, and the most elevated rank dignified and adorned by the purest piety. Her Ladyship's religion was with out any bigotry ; her humanity without the least ostentation ; it was not of that passive kind which gives only when it is asked—it sought out and selected its objects with diligence and care —it relieved them with a secresy and a delicacy M hich almost doubled the blessings it conferred. We are quite sure that many persons will only now, for•the first time, know the source from whence they were relieved.—Such was the excel lent Lady who has just been snatched from so ciety which she adorned, and from a husband whose principal happiness she constituted. He may truly say," that she never gave her husband pain but when she died." MERCHANT TAILORS' SCHOOL.—On Monday last, after the examination of the youths educated at Merchant Tailors' School, the Master and Wardens, accurding to annual custom, proceeded to their Hall to partake of a sumptuous entertainment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonx, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Marquess of CiMDEN, and other distinguished individuals attended on the occasion. Tuesday, the Anniversary Meeting of Gentlemen who had been educated at the above Scnool, was held at the Albion Tavern. Between fifty and sixty sat, down to dinner; JAMES JACNS, Esq., the Master of the Company, in the Chair. Nothing was wanting to render the festival completely gratifying ; and the pleasures of the table, which had been liberally prepared, were highly exhi lirated by those warm and_ cordial feelings which revive with vigour on the renewal of early acquaintance and the recollection ojuvenile scenes. The Gentlemen continued to a late hour in the full enjoyment of the occasion, and parted in the hope of meeting again. WAGES PAID IN Goons.--On Monday last, Mr. Lounds Brown, of Wilmslow,. paid the full penalty 0f.201. and costs for not paying his servants' wages in money, but compelled them to take goods, contrary to the Act passed in the first year of George the Fourth. It is the determination of the . Magistrat?s to punish those who in like manner persist in so paying their servants. One half of the penalty goes to tl!e in foriliant, if not a witness. - He was convicted before the Reve rend J. BROWN ands. PARKER; Esq—(Manchester Herald, June 12.) . DETERMINED SUICIDE.—An Inquisition was yesterday taken on the body of Mrs. Ann Notley, who de stroyed heiself under very extraordinary circumstances.—The deceased kept a shop in Green-street, and having been robbed some time ago, she took it into her head to charge a respectable Gentleman residing • near Temple-bar, with the offence.. This Gentleman, was taken before the Magistrate at Union-hall Po lice,Office, where the deceased swore the robbery against him in the most positive terms ; but he clearly prov e d' an alibi, and was discharged. He then commenced proceedings against her for perjury, and a true bill was returned by . the (frond Jury, at the late Surrey Sessions. As soon as the deceased heard this fact, she took a large quantity of laudanum ; but by the prompt exertions of Doctor Evans, she was recovered, and on the fel- lowing day was arrested on a Judge's warrant on the charge of perjury. She put in bail before Mr. Justice Hoz.noyn, and was then set at large. However, she remained quite unsettled in her mind ever since, and on Monday last, during the absence of her family, she went out and purchased a large quantity of very powerful vitriol, which she swallowed. She was imme diately seized with the most excruciating pain, which lasted for several hours, when her inside being compLtely destroyed, she breathed her last ! There was no evidence to shew that she was insane, but under all the circumstances, the Jury humanely returned a Verdict—" That the deceased acme to her death by her own act, being at the time in a state of temporary mental derangement." This day came on, before the High Court of Justiciary, the trial of David Hag art, accused of the murder of Thomas Morrin, under jailor, or turnkey, of Dumfries jail on the 10th of October last. The pannel pleaded Not Guilty, and a jury being chosen, the trial proceeded. Farther particulars in our next.—(Edinburgh Courant, June 11.) FOR THE SUN. POOR LAWS- EDITOR.—The great question in Political Economy at present is, how to relieve the- Country from the pressure of the Poor Rates ? All seem toac knowledge that the evil is great, while but few are prepared to say in %hat manner it ought to be remedied. It is not a little extraordinary that the present system of our Poor Laws should have been founded in a reign which has generally been considered as the most glorious in the history of this Country ; for though some have dated the commencement of the Poor Rates from the de struction of Monasteries, yet no permanent system seems to have been established till towards the conclusion of the reign of ELIZABETH, so that the increase of Poor which led to the En glish Poor Rates was not owing to the dissolution of Monasteries, but to some cause of more general operation. At the present period, however, unlike that at which the system took its rise, there is a ge neral and universal distress bearing down all classes and conditions of Society. The Mer chant and Agriculturist, the Mechanic and Ma nufacturer, all alike complain of the combination of unfortunate circumstances which led to depress and harrass the unhappy mind. Much attention has been excited by the Bill brought into Parlia ment by Mr. SCAP.LETT, which at least possesses the merit of being very short, but which at the same time embraces principles much too general and comprehensive to stand alone in the present complicated state of things in this Country. In short, in this, as in most other measures for the re lief of general distress, we begin at the wrong end. The Bill in question has three objects :—the maximum, that no larger sum than a certain amount of Poor Rates shall be raised in any one year ;—that no relief shall be afforded to single men except in cases of infirmity or sickness, and that every pauper shall be settled where he may happen to fall chargeable. Mr. SCAitLETT cha racterises the measure as being friendly to the Poor, and that every friend to their real interests ought to support it ; but how the Learned Gen tleman will ultimately make that appear is not easily to be foreseen ; for every part of the mea sure seems open to the most serious objections, as the whole appears but ill suited to the present state and 'circumstances of the times. Nothing but some general plan for reviving the energies of the nation can have any beneficial effect. The general complaint amongst the poor is a want of employment, and any _attempt to remedy the evil without removing the cause must be attended with the most mischievous consequences. The general system of our Poor Laws is gene rally lost sight of in attacking particular parts. Their principal leading objects as a code are to provide for the aged, the infirm, and the unfortu nate, and to punish the idle and dissolute. By a rigorous application of the latter part, much might be done ; but until there is some allevia tion from the great burthens that at present op press the country, it is in vain to expect any very general or permanent relief. A. B. Anecdote and Character of the Duke of WEL LINGTON.—The Rev. Mr. Dinonsi, in his late Continental tour, relates the following anecdote, in his route from Ratisbon to Nuremberg :----We reached Neumarkt about night-fall, and got into very excellent quarters. The rooms .of the inn which we occupied had been filled by the Duke of Wellington and Lord and Lady Castlereagh, on their journey to Congress, in the winter of 1814. The master of the inn related to us a sin gular anecdote respecting the Duke. On hearing of his arrival, the inh a bitant s o f th e place flocked round the inn, and the next morninff, the Duke found the tops of his boots Half cut away, from the desire which the people expressed of having some memorial of the ' Great Captain of the Age ;' so I heard him called every where in Austria and Bavaria, by men of every degree and rank in society, and by pro fessional. men, as frequently as by others . . I re collect when at Landshut, standing at the door of the - hotel, and conversing with two gallant looking Bavarian officers, who had, spent half their lives in the service, one of them declar ing, that ' he should , like to have been op posed to WELLINGTON—tO have died even in such opposition, if he could not have vanquished him. I asked him, why ?" Because (said he) there is glory in such a contest ; for he-is doubt less the First Captain of the Age.' No other or more feasible .plan presented itself than that of making interest with. his Grace's groom, when the boots were taken down to be cleaned on the morning following his arrival. Perhaps the Duke's coat, had it been seen, might haVe shared the same fate." WICKLOW lIoTEL.--We have heard of. a most extraordinary FRACAS which took place at this Hotel a few days ago. The story is rather of a romantic character, and must have proceeded from an. ardent .impulse of the blind god over the more prudent suggestions of cool reflection. It would appear that a Mr. 13, , having formed a strong attachment for a Miss R , found means to•secret himself in the bedchamber of the young lady at the above Hotel, not with any dis honourable view, we are satisfied, but with the intention of repeating his vows of constancv, all other means of doing so having been denied him by the lady's father. Wholly unconscious of any such circumstances, the young lady entered her bedchamber at the usual hour of'repOse,• attended by her.maid-servant, who, while in the act of un dressing her mistress, perceived a boot under the bed, upon which, with great presence of mind, she beckoned to the lady to quit the room, and followed as quickly herself. They,immediately locked up the intruder, and alarmed the house, upon which the father and brother of the young lady flew to her assistance, and upon the door being opened, a violent scuffle ensued between the• parties, in the course of which shots were fired by the loveri we are happy to say, without taking effect. His added that Mr. B has entered into bail to a large amount for his appearance.-- (Hibernian Journal, June 11.) tort TilE Su N. AGRICULTURE, There is • nothing which most concerns, or should so much interest a large population,.as their Agriculture. Major General BEATsoN, for merly Governor of St. Helena, his just given to the British public a Supplement to the " New View of Cultivation," which he published last year. His theory and system are in practice at Knowle Farm, near 'Tunbridge Wells, where the results of his plan of cultivation may be seen in his crops next month. General BE.ITSON, by . his theory and practice, assumes to teach, and to prove by experiment and practice, that the Corn Lands of the British Isles may he cultivated without dung, lime, merle, or summer fellows, with a great reduction' of labour and expence. His means are to till, the land w nth an implement of his invention, which will perform all the ope rations of the plough, harrow, scarifier, & - c. &c, on stitf clay land, with one horse, and pulverize the soil in a more perfect manner than has been usual. The proper pulverization of the stiff soils is the great disideratum, and that on which their fertility very much depends. The substitution of this cheap, powerful, light and efficient im plement, for those now in use, is the mecha nical part of the improvement and economy hich he has discovered.—His implements are made by Wain, LEES, and other makers, and when a model is seen, may be con structed by any tradesman in the country. The economy and improvement which Ire has discovered and practised, arid thinks suitable for all clay lands, if not for all others, is in the prin ciple of manure. He considers, and thinks he; proves by his practice, that no other manure is required for the growth of wheat and all other crops, on stiff soils, than that which may be made on the field, by burning, or rather roasting, the soil ; that is, by calcining the clay, and burning, or roasting, the surface soil, with the stubble, &c. on the land.--A light plough, with one horse; sufficient for all the purposes of turning and pal vcrizing the soil, and a manure made on the field, at a very small expence, equal to the great ex pence of dung, lime, or marle, are great and va luable economies for all situations, but of incar culable value to those soils and sites where the ordinary manure can be obtained only at a great expence, if at all, of which Sussex, Hampshire, and other counties, offer many examples. Gene ral BEATSON calculates, that on his plan, and by his process, his wheat will be raised this year at 40s. a quarter, allowing only 20 bushels an acre, and at rent and taxes on his land of 30s. an acre ; his crop ought to Le 26 to 30 bushels an acre. General BEATsoN courts inquiry and 4xperiment, and lays all open to public observation ; if wrong, he desires to be corrected; if right, he wishes the Farmers of Great Britain to profit by his inven tions, and the evidence and proofs of his pracike.

The pain made her scream nut, when, the villain turned back and ran off; but a young man who happened at the time to be com ing out of a public house, hearing the Lady - scream, and seeing the •Monster, run off, pursued him with the cry of " Stop thief I", others joined in the chase, when he was secured at the cor. nor of Red Lion-street, having dropped the instrument with which he committed the Beal act, which was picked up •by the man w ho saw him drop it. • It had a wooden handle, with a blade about five inches long,. like the prong of a fork.
