YEW TREE HOUSE, WHELPLEY HILL, surrounded by good roads, within twenty eight miles of London, and an easy distance of the best markets. Chesham is three miles off, and Hensel Hempstead within Ave, so that the produce finds a ready vent at a trifling ezpe►ue. The land is of a quality that may always be depended on under a healthy course of cultiva tion, and the abundant crops this year, after being subject to a severe discipline for the last four or five years, arising out of a sad forgetfulness of manure, still the land exhibits four or five quarters of capital wheat and barley, and the crops of clover are most abundant. The farm-house, as well as the buildings, are of ancient date, and, in candonr, it must be proclaimed, will be greatly benefited by a judicious outlay of three or four hundred pounds. THE WORTHY TENANT, BASSILL, who, with his family, have sojourned here near half a century, will be but too happy to have a lease, and continue the tenancy; but his present rent is a very inadequate one. The estate numbers near THREE HUNDRED ACRES, and with the exception of less than two, is entirely within a ring fence. There are about 50 acres in thriving woods and planta tions; it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them by degrees grubbed up, and good crops of corn become their substitute—a farmer does not need the luxury of wood land scenery, to interfere with his more important avo cations. The outgoings are not high, and the tithe has been commuted at less than 48. per acre—such is a faint outline of the property which is committed for positive sale, and offers an exceedingly' eligible and secure investment for small capitalists.

VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES. A CAPITAL AND PERFECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT. TO be DISPOSED OF, the EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a considerable capital has been expended in arriving at the present favourable state. This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lease are unusually favourable. It will afford to a company or a few capitalists an opportunity of investing FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS, with a prospective view most encouraging, and the opportunity to purchase the fee.simple on very advantageous terms, is amongst the most prominent of its numberless advantages. This quarry (in Merionethshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi cally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Mrs. Oakeley's property, which are the most extensive slate quarries now worked in Merionethshire. It is situated upon the opposite side of the same hill, the summit of which is the boundary between the Cwmorthin and Oakeley properties ; and the vein, which in the latter estate is divided into three extensive quarries, has an extent on the Cwmorthin side equal to all three together, and capable of being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after Bangor and Llanberris, the largest Slate Quarry in Wales. A disagreement in the partnership, arising out of a difference of opinion as to the best mode of working the quarry, was terminated by the common consent of all the parties, and this is the sole reason why this valuable property is now to be disposed of. The present tenants hold under a forty years' lease, dated 20th March, 1842, which in all its conditions is more favourable to the capitalist undertaking to work the quarry, than those of any of their com petitors in the market. But the fee-simple can be bought upon terms which would enable the purchaser to secure large profits, where the quarries paying heavy royalties merely enrich the land lords ; independently of being able to work the quarries wholly without interferenee, and to such extent, and in such manner, as to obtain the greatest possible profit from a property which, properly managed, increases in value the longer it Is worked, since more Slate is continually opened, and which will not be ex hausted in many generations. The present openings are so made as to be capable of indefinite extension—a small outlay would bring an immediate return of Slate, which might be increased at the discretion of the proprietor. The metal is of the purest Port madoc blue Slate, easily worked, durable, and free from spot, stain, or blemish. Though the vein is barely opened in the top (as shown in the plan), above eight . hundred tons of Slates have already been made, of a quality in every way satisfactory, and it continues to improve, the deeper the rock is gone into. An extensive farm, with about two hundred acres of land, available for various pur poses, is included in the property—it will be of great value to the party working the quarry. A fall of water gives all the power needed for machinery to saw and plane slate; the use of which in articles of furniture and in house building is rapidly and daily ex tending. There is cheap and easy carriage by the Ffestiniog Railway to Portmadoc. And when the increasing demand at home and on the continent for Portmadoc blue Slate, the extensive pro. gress of buildings throughout the kingdom, and the peculiar ad. vantages offered by the Cwmorthin Quarry are considered, it will be found that a more favourable opportunity is seldom met with for the investment of capital, with large immediate profit, and con tinued accumulation of the value of the principal in perspective. There are many admirable sites in the vicinity for the erection of an abode suited to the proprietor of these works. The situation is well known to be one of the most beautiful in North Wales, with capital sporting and the best salmon and trout fishing in the country. Principals only will make application at Mr. George Robins•s Offices, Covent-garden, who takes this opportunity to call the atten tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking. IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS. TO be SOLD by FRWATE TREAT Y, by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, A VERY PROMISING INVESTMENT AND SLATE QUARRY, situate in Carnarvonshire, North Wales. The Slate is of Excellent quality, of a rich grey-blue colour, and can be had in abundance under but a very thin cover. " - The work is already about 40 yards wide, and is capable of being extended to upwards of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YARDS, where a large number of men may be employed most advanta. geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an investment af. fording a rare opportunity to any party with moderate capital to accumulate A LARGE FORTUNE. The observations which follow are extracted from a Welsh Paper:—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it can be made, with a few thousands outlay, THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SOIL IN THE WORLD. The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than 180 yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go, wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES; and with good management the profits would—could not be less than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in proper order. Another desirable thing belonging to this concern is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards cover. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been made at the expense of nearly 2,0001. The distance to a capital ship. ping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY. . . The name of the concern is the ' Cedryn Quarry,' situate about ten miles from Banger, and the same distance from Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns. " It is held under the Right Hon. Lord Newborough for an un expired term of twenty.eight years, which can be extended at any time. " In conclusion, we can only add that the Quarry ought to pro. duce a considerable sum, as it is A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY who may be lucky enough to get it." If not disposed of by Private contract before the 28th day of August, it will be Sold by Auction by Mr. George Robins, at the Castle Inn, Conway, North Wales, on the 16th October, 1844. In the meantime, full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E. Owen, Auctioneer, Ruthin ; or to Mr. George Robins , London AGRICULj URE, CO SIMERCE, NAVI c)ATION, THE CHURCH. A B.

The meeting of the South-Western Railway Propric. tors yesterday was very numerously attended. 4 very lengthy report was laid before the Proprietors. It show e d a progressive increase in the traffic. The total earnings during the first six months of 1843 were 142 , 9 7 31 . 10s. 3d., while those for the six months ending 30th Julie lust, amounted to 150,469/. 4s. Bd., exhibiting an increase of 7,4951. 14s. sd. The aggregate expenditure during the latter period is 84,076/. 16s. 5d., and the amount avail able for division amongst the Proprietors, 75,174/. Os. 2d., out of which the Directors recommended the payment of a dividend greater by 2s. 6d. a share that' that pa' September last, making the present dividend at the of 325. 6d. a share, subject to the income-tax. - - dividend absorbs 74,6071., leaving a balance of 5671.05.2 d. The Directors have recently completed a revision of the rates for carriage of goods. The chief object of this would appear to be to render the classification of the various descriptions of merchandise more simple and more convenient to individuals sending or receiving goods by the railway, combined also with a reduction of charge amounting on the average to 20 per cent. The rejec tion of the Epsom, and the passing of the Salisbury line, is to result in the amalgamation into 6,000 shares, of 401. each, of the Scrip Eighths, created in pursuance of the resolution of the special meeting of the 30th December last. This Scrip will be ',forthwith called in. The Directors intend immediately to act upon the powers of the Bill recently passed for improving the Nine elms station, and possess themselves of the neces sary land for this purpose. To effect this they in tend to create and dispose of 250 shares of 501. each, that number and amount of shares being eunivalent to the 2,000 Scrip Eighths reserved for issue by the Directors at their discretion. The Directors were empowered 'to take the necessary steps for procuring Parliamentary power for the Company, solely or jointly to construct a branch railway to Epsom, and to establish a connection between the South-Western, the Brighton, and South - Eastern lines ; to borrow on mortgage or bond 20,0001., under the powers of the Salisbury Branch Act ; to take the necessary steps to obtain Parliamentary authority to make a railway:from Basingstoke to Newbury,!and to effect a connection between the South-Western and Great Western lines ; and to obtain further Parlia; mentary power for the Company solely or jointly to ex tend the Gosport line from Fareham to Portsmouth and Chichester. The Directors were also authorised to take into consideration the projected Dorsetshire lines, to adopt such measures in reference thereto as they might deem expedient, and to examine whether a terminus near Waterloo-bridge would not be advantageous, and to carry out such a measure if their examination should be favourable. The report of the Directors was very fa vourably received by the Proprietors. The Directors have entered into an agreement with Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone, the patentees of the electric telegraph, for working it on this line. The pa tentees are to receive 1,5001. a-year from Government for working it between Portsmouth and the Admiralty. The agreement between the patentees and the Directors binds down the former to throw in their patent,right, and to divide both the 1,500/. a-year and the profits arising from working the patent with the Directors, who are to grant the use of the line. The Directors propose, besides the. Admiralty line of telegraph, to work one for the use of the Company, and another for commercial purposes. TRADE WITH PORTUGAL. 60, Mark-lane, London, Aug. 14, 1844. My Lord,—We are induced to take the liberty of ad dressing your Lordship on the following subject . The wine trade, in which we are engaged as Oporto merchants, has but recently recovered from a long and severe:depression, caused by the protracted negotiations with Portugal respecting a mutual reduction of duties, and your Lordship will be aware that the revenue sus tained considerable injury in consequence of that de pression. We are now threatened with a return of this inju rious suspension of our trade, and apparently without that valid reason for it which existed in the former instance. For some time past, the Lisbon correspondents of the press have weekly assured their readers, that a re duction of duties between Great Britain and Portugal may now be looked on as certain. We cannot but feel the injury which has been, and may again be inflicted on our trade, by statements of this nature, and we, there fore, request your Lordship to excuse our taking the li berty of inquiring, whether or not a renewal of the com mercial negotiations with Portugal may be considered probable. We have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servants, (Signed) COCKBURN BROTBERS and CO. The Right lion. the Earl of Aberdeen, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Foreign-office, Aug. 22, 1844. Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., in which you request to be informed whether commercial negotiations are likely to be re-opened with Portugal, and I am to state to you in reply, that his Lordship is not aware that there are any grounds for supposing that such negotiations will be renewed. um, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) CANNING. To Messrs. Cockburn Brothers and Co. EXTRAORDINARY SERIES OF CALAMITIES.—MT. Higgs, yesterday, held an inquest at the George, George court, Strand, on the body of Joseph Marshman, tailor, of George-court, Strand, aged 53, who hanged himself on Thursday, while in a state of insanity produced by calamities that rarely fall to the lot of one man. It was stated that he had been affected in his mind ever since the decease of his wife, who was accidentally burnt to death in St. Martin's workhouse about nine months ago. The day after that one of his sons, who was on board the Marine School ship, at Blackwall, fell from the mast head, and was killed on the spot. But a week or two following he sent another son with some work to Regent-street, and while he was on his way there he was run over by a cab, and carried home dead. A third child fell down the steps in George-court, and fractured its skull, from the effects of which it ultimately expired. There are seven children now living, several of whom have lately been suffering from rheumatic fever, caused by the dampness of the house in which they live. The unfortunate deceased, borne down by this accumulation of heavy afflictions, would wander fur miles about the country, he knew not where nor why. On Friday he left home, and walked all that day and Saturday, and at night made a bed of some hay at Barnet. He then got into the town of Hertford, where he slept, and then walked home. He could give no reason for this, but said he knew he was out of his mind. It was said he had not eaten three pounds of meat since his Ale's death. The jury said there could be no doubt in the case, and returned a verdict of " Insanity." MURDER OF A WIFE AT RicamoND.—Yester day morning information was received at the different metropolitan police-stations that a man, named William New, a shoemaker, residing in the Marsh-gate-road, Richmond, had murdered his wife, by stabbing her in the side with a carving knife. It appeared that, about seven on Thursday night, they quarrelled, when the husband seized a carving knife and plunged it into his wife's side, and immediately made his escape. She was found by tho neighbours insensible from loss of blood, and died about half an hour afterwards. No trace of the wretched husband has as yet been discovered beyond the following fact :—About eight o'clock the same evening , as Mr. G. Morris, blacksmith, of Shepherd's-bush, was proceeding along the Uxbridge-road, at Notting-hill, on his return home, he met a man who asked him what time it was; and on Mr. Morris telling nim it was eight o'clock, he said he had then come from Richmond in an hour; that the police had entered the house by the front door as he had left it by a back window; and that if he was found he should be transported. Mr. Morris thought the man was mad, and permitted him to pursue his course towards Paddington.

ACCIDENT TO THE BATAVIER STEAM-S[ITP.-- The Dutch steam-vessel Batavier, Captain Dunlop , wh i ch was due from Rotterdam at the St. Ka therine Steam packet-wharf at four o'clock on We dnesda y afternoon, did not arrive, and no intelligence had been received of her up to Thursday evening. Information has since reached the wharf that, shortly after the departure of the vessel from R, tterdam, she by some accident got aground off the Dutch coast, and it was ultimately found to be necessary to land the whole of her passengers and cargo, which comprised a considerable number of horned cattle, in addition to a quantity of fruit and vegetables, of which articles a considerable quantity has been brought by her from Holland for Several weeks past. The immediate cause of the accident is at present unknown. The col - lin:tinder of the Batavier, Captain Dunlop, has been engaged in the Rotterdam trade for a considerable period, and the vessel has hitherto performed the voyage with groat regularity and safety. , , _ ,_ ----.` --.=..Z..`,_:__" ___:_-_:: ._ - .7"-M" . .- - - ......... . .... _ - -- mi..,.........5...--....„.,,,..„....,......._,..,_,.„.....„.........,.......,„..„ t d, , . • ''''- ,_ .., v:.,,,) ..4 ~ . more precarious—the few rich becoming richer, and ~Ali.ii - ' • )4.

STATE of the INSOLVENCY LAWS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " It is very possible for a man to act dishonestly every day, and yet never to defraud another of a shilling ; a merchant who conducts hi s b us i ness p ar tly or wholly with borrowed capital, is not honest if he endangers the loss of an amount of property, which, if lost, would dis able him from paying his debts ; lie who possesses a thou sand pounds of his own, and borrows a thousand of some one else, cannot virtuously speculate so extensively as that, if his prospects should be disappointed, he would lose one thousand two hundred pounds. The speculation is dishonest, whether it succeeds or not: it is risking ether men's property without their consent; under simila9 cir. cumstances, it is unjust not to insure. Perhaps the, ma jority of uninsured traders, if their houses and goods were burned, would be unable to pay their creditors; the injustice consists, not in the actual loss which may be inflicted, for whether a fire happens or not, the in justice is the same, but in endangering the infliction of the loss. There are but two ways in which, under t ruth circumstances, the claims of rectitude can be satisfied; one is by not endangering the property, the othe4., by telling its actual owner that it will be endangered and leaving him to incur the risk or not, as he pleases; those who hold the property of others, are not warranted, on the principles of justice, in neglecting to inform them selves, from time to time, of the real situation of their affairs."—Dyniond's Essays on the Principles of Morality.. It will only be when intelligence and ability to reason and judge are qualities possessed in a greater degree by the commercial classes, that the Com mercial code of this country will be based on seand philosophical principles, and the public mind disabused of the prevailing fallacies. The bankruptcy somewhat, and the insolvency laws altogether, by the late Act, are ruinous and demoralising in their prac tice ; based as they have been on false assumptions, they appear to have no other consistent or rational object in view, but, through the calamity of a parcel of creditors, to take occasion, under pretence of seiz ing the debtor's wreck of property, to put the whole, or nearly so, into the pockets of lawyers. , Our bankruptcy courts, whose function it i 4 to collect the miserable remnants of a shipwreckedlfor tune, charge some hundreds for the service, and then distribute the few remaining farthings among the claimants—the oyster is devoted by the lawyers; the shell, with what few filaments of flesh may adhere to it, fairly enough divided among the litigants. These courts have encouraged and protected the offence of insolvency, but they should have had the same object in view as other courts of law—viz., the prevention of the evil concerning which they had jurisdiction, by inflicting salutary punishments. In the early times, when feudal lords ruled the land with iron sway, there were not many creditors but themselves, and almost the only debtors were their own stewards and bailiffs. The practice on those who did not pay their debts was then sharp enough (there was no false humanity then abroad), although it might be a little contrary to the principles of the Constitution to throw a steward whose accounts were in disorder into prison, without judge or jury, and there to let him die. Successive regulations were made to modify this practice. For a long series of years bankrupts were liable to be hanged. In accordance with the severe spirit of the times those wrong-doers were treated with a wild and thoughtless severity; to meliorate which ha s b een th e o bj ec t o f successive Acts of Parliament, until the law, as now left, is di vested of its penal character almost entirely. Lord Brougham has regarded the insolirent as an unfortunate man, whom it is desir able to rescue from the persecutions of • his creditors. Availing himself abundantly of this kind of sophistry, plausible but false—" That except on rarest occasions the effects and not the person of the debtor were needed ; greater power over the property (of course only when it could be got at) being given to the creditor, his position was apparently improved, and thus has he been wheedled into the surrender, now complete, of all power over the debtor's person ; and so well has this feint succeeded, that when, the meshes of the most complex and extended trading relations permeate the whole of British society, and when, after a long depression of trade and manu facturing calamity, affords all sorts of people who are in money-trouble a plausible pretence to break their faith, and crowd themselves among the few really unfortunate insolvents—at such a time has the Legislature removed nearly all the penal sanctions, and left the creditor class, usually the virtuous class, by the fact of their having capital to lend, almost at the entire mercy of the debtor class, usually the non virtuous class, by the fact of their wanting to borrow. By virtuous is meant, of course, the practice of in dustry to product wealth, and self-denial to abstain from entirely consuming it in sensual pleasures, or from the risking it in gambling (or in the deceptive language of commerce) adventures. This is the moral training of the middle classes. An attorney lately in a country town declared his inability to pay one farthing on his debts of 14,0001., contracted with all classes of the inhabitants, from the humble mechanic to the neighbouring gentleman of fortune. The law has protected his person, and his effects are all dissipated (or are made to appear so) in genteel living. Another Bromley in a small way. For him there is no punishment. The law deems him an unfortunate man. A London factor has a correspondent at Bury, from whom he had just received and executed an order, -when he received information that the man was meditating to sell off and leave the kingdom. He sent a person instantly to Bury, found the man pre paring for a sale by auction, and in the act of un packing the parcel above referred to. He was asked to pay—to give some account of' his proceedings—to return the parcel he was then opening, all of which he refused, saying that the fresh goods would help the sale. The creditor then applied to Judge Tindal for a Judge's order, on the plea that he believed the debtor was about leaving the kingdom. This the Judge refused, and long, long before the period ar rived when by writ of summons the debtor could be captured, he had sold off, not his own, but his creditor's property, pocketed the proceeds, and was on his way to America. The rogue escapes justice on the speed of steam ships ; the law comes limping after him at the speed of a spavined pack-horse, and stops at the sea-shore. There is a certain Baronet whose friends allow him 5001. a year, who owes various sums, aggregating a heavy amount—his person is protected, his effects are none, and his income cannot be touched. There is a man living at Kennington who owed a heavy doctor's bill, which he was liquidating by pay • ing 10s. a week until the 9th current, when ho snapped his fingers at his creditor, and said he should pay no more. In one short week, thousands of trea sure have been confiscated by the new Act. The late insolvency law affords a most striking ex ample of the injustice of class legislation. Governed by a landed aristocracy—directly in the Lords, and indirectly in the Commons—these laws have been adjusted to favour that class so wealthy and powerful. Except in the matter of tithe and rent, the recovery of which is assured by special laws, these men and their connexions are usually in the condition of debtors ; they of course desire that the condition of debtor—one who can't or won't pay his debts—should be as little invonvenient as possible. The law-lords are parvenus, ready to do anything for the patronis ing pat and smile of the ancient nobility ; they have connived at this object; the mercantile men in the Commons, not of direct aristocratic connexions, have been quieted by an improved Bankruptcy Act. In fact and appearance being rich, and conducting only large operations, they have not known the t relationsthevery of, nor have they had much sympathy h numerous and comparatively little wealthy inerchantby factors, traders, and the like, whose r‘ sactions in cludes still the t larger share of the capital transactions the coun try, are affected solely by the insolvency laws, and the result has been a state of the law , which surren ders all healthy control ov er debtors' persons, and by their persons an efficient control over their effects ' • the social marks of dishonour have been obliterated, the foundations o f commercial morality still more undermined, and a a nation of shopkeepers" encou raged to become a nation of rogues, sharpers, and cheats. 'Chancellor Onenstein might well exclaim, " With how little understanding is this world go verned !" While mankind find it to their interest to be honest ; and while some are living under the sanc tions of a religion which teaches "to owe no man any thing ;" o r while others have enjoyed a virtuous edu cation and habits, or the still greater happiness of a mind of primitive virtuous texture, let the laws be eve n more vice-encouraging than they are, there will be no reason to fear that our commercial confidence in one another will be dissolved, or that people in ge neral will not continue to be honourable, and keep their promises, however much they may be disheart ened by the success of rogues, or insulted by the pro.. tection given to the comparatively few whose flagi tious delinquencies are caused by their own idleness and extravagance. But the national capital will con tinue to be deteriorated by the evil perversion, or by the wastef u l d es t ruc ti on , o f many h un d re d s o f thou sands of pounds annually ; and as long as these laws dishonour the statute-book, the nation will be _less rich, and the citizens less virtuous, and the condition of the middle classes of society be rendered more and Embleton, Cumberland, Sept. 17, at eleven, at the New castle-upon-Tyne District Court—W.

THE ALDERSGATE-STREET NUlSANCE.—Yesterday at a wardmote held in the ward of Aldersgate, at which after a severe contest between Mr. Sharwood and Mr. Smith, two very respectable inhabitants, for the office of Common Councilman, the former was declared to be the successful candidate, Mr. Godson called the attention of the meeting to the odious whalebone nuisance which has so long existed in Aldersgate-street, notwithstanding the outcry which has been raised against it, and its pre sentment to the Court of Aldermen by the inquest jury. Sir Peter Laurie and other gentlemen present spoke strongly in support of the measures for its instant re moval, and at the termination of the discussion it was resolved, that the wardmote should send in a memorial to the Court of Aldermen, praying that the Court would take steps, by instituting such proceedings as they might deem proper for the removal of the nuisance created by the whalebone manufactory of Messrs. Westall, in Al dersgate-street. It was also resolved, that in the event of the refusal of the Court of Aldermen to order pro ceedings to be instituted, the ward itself should imme diately pursue the necessary means to accomplish the object of the inhabitants. f3,We understand that the Judges are expected to assemble on Monday to consider their opinions in the case of the Queen v.
