Insects are often found imbedded in it. *Amber is most powetfu ly electrical by friction— very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments; the work men, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited dec ries ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame."

Sin,—lt is with the greatest astonishment, indigna tion, and regret, that I have read an article, publised in the public Journals, said to be a " Supplementary chapter to Sir John Barrow's Life of Lord Anson ; and professing- to give a true description of the state and condition of the British Navy." I feel " astonish ment," at the extraordinary assertions, the contradictions, and false conclusions of the official Baronet. At the flippancy, the presumption, the ungentlemanly tone of language, considered distinctly from the question of the truth, or inaccuracy of his statements. " Indignation," that the " Lion of E ng l an d," alWays hitherto gloriously represented •by the bold, 'able, intelligent, and gallant band, forming the corps of Officers of the British - Navy, should now, alas! in its sickly state as it must be con fessed, receive a last kick from one of the " humblest of its instruments," • as he pleases to describe himself ; who owes the greatest portion, if not the whole of his present greatness, to his connection with that gallant band, whose highest authorities he dares attempt to crush beneath his feet. " Regret," that an individual who has from the exertion of his native talent, and persever ing application raised himself from that humble though venerable paterr.al thatched cottage at Ulverstone, which, from such recollections, I have never passed without bowing to with respect ; to be an inmate under the roof of an official palace ; whose literary and scien tific requirements have obtained for him a dis! in guished name; and who, until this most extraordinary outbreak, has always been remarked in my :hind for gentlemanly emutesy, should have permitted himself, in the evenin g his day, to allow his u!tra-Tory habits, to run out so boldly into exaggeration, as to endeavour to break through, and to disperse that halo of respect, which, in his isolated state, either afloat or on shore is the essence of that power, which is necessary to wield the truncheon of command as a naval chief ; making one effort nn re to beat down into insignificancy and contempt a corps of officers, who were once, alas ! in by-gone times, their country's pride. The Baronet has told us of some " article of wstr," I will tell him of a naval regulation to the purport that every officer, civil or military, is strictly e: joined to re frain from making any remarks or observation on the conduct of any of his superior officers, which may tend to bring them into contempt." I am yet to learn that the flippancy of a second secretary, who describes him self as the .‘ servant, and the old servant" too, of the profession to which he belongs, directed towards a flag officer, or even to Commander Craufurd, who the first Lord of the Admiralty has been pleased to reward with the command of a vessel, over the heads of many senior to himself, for what the Baronet infers should have given even the flag officer to the yard arm. I say, I have yet to learn how the dignity, and respectability of Commander Cran ford in his ship, or the flag officer in any command, is to be preserved intact, upheld and increased under the lash of the Baronet's bitter invective, sarcastic irony, and treasonable imputations. Not content with pretending ignorance of the well known fact, that information gratuitously sent by any of the corps of naval officers, out of the pale of the very chosen few to whom consanguinity, or political influ ence, or some indispensablupersonal service, gives pe culiar privilege, is always consigned, to use the Baro net's quotation, to the " Tomb of all the Capulets," with the well-known reply, " That the old servant has re ceived the document, and laid it before the Board, and is the very humble servant , " &c. 2 &c. Not content with his own presumptuous opinions , and decisions,. and castigations, for what, as accuser, jury, and judge, he declares to be military delinquencies ; he travels into the record of history, and reminds us that on such a day the brave : Admiral Vernon had a penalty inflicted On him for a-very similar proceeding—et Tuough much less culpable," as the Baronet is pleased to say, than the flag-officer before whom he endeavours to hold out in common with every other officer of the navy this sc ire crow in terrorem. Good Heaven ! Is it possible that any man ,at this day could have the hardihood ,to point to those times of tyranny, oppression, and party injustice, and threaten us now with similar punishment for doing our duty to our country, because it might possibly throw the less meritorious conduct of favoured privileged individuals into shade, or perhaps prove that they had been either wilfully or inadvertently in error ? Are we again to have a Matthews sacrificed to a Lestock ? or a bold Hawke again censured for doing that which the immortal Nelson seine years after so gloriously did off Cape St. Vincent, when with his coun try's cause in his brain, he spurned the inefficient line, broke it, wore round without signal, on his otvit un erring judgment, and brought the enemy to close action with the most brilliant results ? Yes ! I do remember Admiral Vernon's dismissal from. the service ! As a boy, I well recollect how my check burnt when I read the record of it in the " Gentleman's Magazine ;" and if my memory holds good, he was erased, without trial, from the list, merely for remonstrating with the despotic and self-sufficient members of the old Navy Board for build ing such ships as the old Boyne, of 70 guns, and others ; too narrow, too crank. and totally unfit for those ser vices, in which her Majesty's faithful officers are to risk their country's glory and their awn characters. For this the conqueror of Porto Bello, with six ships, as he pledged himself to do on the floor of the House of Commons, was erased from the Navy List. Too well do I know that these notions are still held in the, purlieus of the Baronet's office. It is there that the official coat is supposed to be ElijaWs mantle, invest ing the wearer with all exclusive ability. Too well I know that every suggestion from individuals without the pale of faseituritism is "shelled," either to be unattended to, or if resumed, to be brought out under the patronage of a more favoured personage, as his own, or to his own praise. Did the Baronet never hear of extracts from 'Fupinier's celebrated pamphlet having been sent to the Navy board, and to a Lord of the Ad miralty ten years since, with a full description of the rapid and energetic improvements going on in the French Navy at the very period when the Navy Board was ex pending millions in repairing the ships called the "Forty Thieves," forming round sterns, building a shoal of 46 gun frigates, after a moo el taken in the American war, and others nearly similar ; and as a chef-d'ceuvre priding themselves in the dockyards, in building, or commencing to build, only at that moment the 84 gun-ships, after a French model, which France had at that instant declared were too small for coping with the improved classes of vessels then building by the maritime powers of some countries—or of the manner in which an officer who bad lived for three years in, and adjoining a French dock yard, had endeavoured to impress on the minds of his superiors, that unless we made the same improvement in our ships, then making in France and elsewhere, we must expect to be overwhelmed in single action ; to all which, not the smallest attention was paid. I could treat the Baronet to other reminiscences—one too in the article of rope - ma kin g ; which, if it had been attended to earlier than the hour when Sir Frederic Maitland found the bantling oil some official shelf, and nursed it, might have given the Baronet a better rope for his tlag-officers threatened exaltation, than he is likely to find from the grand hempen depots, said to exist for the rapid arming of fleets. But to show how. this narrow spirit was even carried to the improvement of the mind ; does the baronet not remember one of the answers given to some zealous officers who had observed the many ad. vantages enjoyed by the French marine, and wished to establish by private subscription in an English dock-yard a library, siindar to those established by the state in eve ry dockyard •in France ; does lie rememb er th e o b. serva tion of one indiv idual ? " No , no ! Let us have no library there. We have too man y hal f - pay officers n ow goieg into the dockyards intermeddling and plaguing u " r t e h i e narksaidcoiplaints, an d we s h ou l d only withi number—we will hav e no suc h nui n sanceand the library fell t o the ground. If that misca lled nuisance had be en more attended to, if men would have extended their vision and l oo ked abroad instead of p oring over the must y r ecords of So merset House, adher in g to b' g oted prejudi ces an d pom nre theiras e pom pous assertions, we s hould not now h ave a real and more dangerous nu isance to a b ate —one that is not created by the present naval administration, nor by the preced ing, or further back again ; but which has been on the increase for the last twenty-three years • and which in s spite of all th e Baronet ' assertions, I sertions, I deelare to be now so p al p able, and big with such important results, that I have no hesitation in saying that unless we immediately set about the abatement of it, our mastery of the sea, when the death struggle comes, con only be contineed by prodigies of valour, and by cases of fortunate accidental results, springing from almost moral impossibilities, For some time p ast I have been rejoiced to see a spirit of inquiry arising as t o the state of the Navy in the public mind ; I h ave watched its progress eagerly and attentively. l a m well aware that great improvements have been made i n many p ort.ons of th e nava l depart ments. Our gunnery practice, found e d on t h e sys t em of the gallant an d intelligent Sir Philip Broke, is the best. We have other ameliorations of a system rendered generally good by p ractical ex ertion,, but theoretical')' bad. If could enite Viatine4 theo r y and ? renp h en couragement with our practice, we silould have the most unconquerable Navy ; but our main preps arc moulder ing into decay as to efficiency ; the main supports are rotten and lapkep 4nwn ; the whole cprps of officers want. renovation ; they want an uplifting 16:1 I,llo'4i:eat : C. ' and an invigoration of their wounded pride ; their in dependent spirit is crushed by actual deprivation and neglect. Too well !le I know that no ipdep P endent T•• exertion is to be expected from them, as a body Younger brothers, as they are, with younger brothers' portions, they have not the spirit to speak out as their bet ter endowed brethren in the army effectively do. They are too truly a rope of sand, each following his own interests ; and if there should be one intelligent and bold enough to exclaim, with energy and effect, in the cause of his country and profession, he is too soon silenced by the sop thrown to him by his politic superiors. No class of men in the Queen's dominions have been so neglected, so brow beaten, so borne down, as the old veterans and warriors of our fleet. They have been jostled out by the immense infusion of aristocratic and political blood during the first fifteen years of the peace, and yet with all these grievances, nor.° so patient, so enduring, so un complaining. The old captain with his forty years of service, his twenty to thirty years' rank as captain, on his paltry ,two hundred a year, or less, denied employ ment because he dispises corrupt influence, and rests on his professional services for reward ; shut out from the society of his old war companions, and the professional duties he loved ; and, more mortifying than all, with perhaps the richest aristocratic blood in the land, shut out from the society of his kindred of class, because the profession he has chosen excludes him from the lowest classes of the aristocracy of wealth ; yet is there no class of the Queen's subjects who, with calmer eye and placid brow await more patiently, though with mental eagerness, the hour when they can again say, like the brave Admiral Keppell, " Yes, I am ready to serve, to do the best I can for my country and my Queen, though I have nothing to boast of but the pride of being at last called on to assist in fighting once more my country's battles when it finds itself in danger." And what is it now rouses the blood in the veins of one of these uncomplaining servants of the country? It is not their country's forgetfulness. It is not the pride and partiality of office. It is invective, contumely,- and un warrantable assertions, on the part of one from whom hotter things were expected, than a display of the haughty assumption, which renders the halls of the Ad miralty more dreaded and more disgusting than the divan of the greatest Eastern despot. Steep a man in poverty to the very lips, and his mind may remain calm and un broken ; but add contumely and insult to his unmerited misfortune, and he feels the bitterness of his situation. Moral and mental degradation, the greatest of all evils, neglect and poverty will not necessarily bring, because there is a re-acting rectitude of spirit, and a conscious fe,:ling that the unprofitable honour which shades his brow, is a token of having done the State some little service, and which will raise him above both. But add contumely, and then, if debasement and degradation do not follow, as in some weak minds, it will rouse the energy of that mind it can neither break nor bend. Happy, if the tocsin now sounded may aid in remedying evils, which I have long in privacy mourned, as being big with the most disastrous results to the country's honour. Although some of the grievances I have mentioned and which have been elsewhere alluded to, exist in a great degree, yet do I feel that they are of more con sequence to individuals than to the country at large, and that one shake of the lion's mane would soon re medy the evil. Hundreds may die froth external irrita tion, from the effects of too loudly and too strongly ex pressed feelings—hundreds from that imperceptible, but as certain destroyer of life—the silent gnawing grief— which, like the cankerworm, goes right to the heart's vital centre ; the burning indignation— g The never-dying flame that feedetb, The rankling wound that ever bleedetb ;" though a quiet and uncomplaining smile may yet rest on their lips. These will only be a race of noble spirits, who yet merited better things, harvested to the grave by the effects of their country's neglect ; a loss to their children, but actual gain indeed to that country, disem barrassed of their maintenance and care. But I well know it cannot affect the naval supremacy of the country, for hundreds as able will instantly spring up in their place, when occasion calls ; and, with these, one defeat from inexperience will insure twenty victories, if the essential " materiel" is given. I do not dwell so much either on the fact of a less number of vessels being kept in commission than might otherwise be armed, although the evil consequences of want of experience, and of that increase of improve ment derived from practice, may ensue. For the sailor's profession, like the Brit;sh Constitution, leaves always something to learn—something, in the all-changing course of circumstance and time, to ameliorate. Some months' practice in a change of system, would soon remedy the evil, provided the " materiel" of the navy was as it should be, and always supposing that the old practised war veterans were not wholly extinguished. To the ob jection also, so forcibly stated by my Gallant Friend, Captain Napier, that the naval force kept in commis sion is not compatible with the security of the country, considering the superior naval armaments of other Powers with whom we may be brought into collision ; it is just possible that the Government may be, and ought to be, better acquainted with the symptoms declarative of peace or war existing on the part of such Powers ; aad may judge more correctly than the unini tiated looker-on as to the necessity of putting a bur thened country to the great expense of a completely armed fleet of twenty or thirty sail of the line, col lected and acting together as a fleet should be to be effective. For the idea of talking of an effec tive fleet of twenty sail of the line being now in com mission is absurd, scattered as these ships over the world, the plurality of them useless as to size ; useless as unmanned and unexercised guardships ; or still more useless as ante en flute flag-ships, with men insufficient to preserve the proper discipline, or condition of a pat tern flag-ship, some never lifting an anchor for three years ; or still more useless troop-ships, of all others known to be, from the very nature of the service, the worst disciplined, the least susceptible of that metho dical order and individual comfort which is the essence of a ship of war, and consequently the least effective. I do not dwell mainly on these evils, great as they are, because a few months may bring the remedy, and a gallant 'popular chief and an energetic Administration would show the Lion in all his might. But I will dwell most strongly on the evil arising from the state and con dition of the " materiel" composing the ships and vessels forming the national marine. I allude particularly to their size, form, qualities, and services, and I have no hesitation in saying, and I will pledge myself to prove, that the state and condition is most deplorably inferior to what it should be to cope with certain honour and credit with the improved vessels of other countries, without hazarding more than we should do to the blind chances of fortune, and risking the expenditure of more of the blood of the country than we should lavishly throw away for the sake of pecuniary economy. I must_rernark that in these statements I am not urged by party motive, and least of all by the wish to embar rass the present Administration, politically considered ; for I do n A hesitate to declare myself the most uncom promiiing opponent of any Gove rnmen t a d vo cating the thedexio esttargiinngeraeolglfawteeexloci of regulated ikvidm ; or to ; o one r classof the of n monopoly of g societies , civil, or p o liti ca l r i g ht s or privi leges,o ove r as belonging to one nati on . more than another in another, excepting that grad a ti on o f c l ass w hi c h mu st of a few for the disadvantage of the many ; to the con verting the necessary machinery of the State into sources of private patronage, and family endowment, to the in jury of deserving merit, and of the public weal. Having said thus much, I cannot be justly ac cused of joining the cry of faction to aid in ousting the present Government for the . purpose of favouring the return of a party to power, whose conduct, in the mass of their adherents, for the last few years, under my own direct observation, has strength ened and established the uncompromising dislike and entire disgust I have formerly felt at their proceedings, however dear may be my regard for many individmils ranged under their colours. Indeed I feel it rather a duty to show that the grievance complained of has been going on and increas ing fur years, and it is not the best feature in the case that it has been long complained of. To show that other shoulders should support the greater weight of the blame, I will now refer to an article which appeared in The San New-paper in the close of the year 1830, when Lord Melville left the Board over which he had so long presided. From that article I will sele.lt .the fol lowing passages, applicable still at the present moment. They will show that fifteen years subsequent to the conclusion of the revolutionary war, instead of the Ad ministration of the day adopting an enlarged view of circumstances connected with the maritime development showing itself in all maritime countries, and acting es the able regenerators of tha French Navy, Dupin and Tupinier ; they set about repairing what was most ob jectionable, anti Wilt ships after models which the later events of the said war had demonstrated most painfully could only lead to disaster and defeat. With most tin, fortunate precaution, also, did they eoremence that sys tem of protection to the stern, which, though well enough for strength and defence under many circum stances, still was the last thing, as the brave Adtniral Bergeret said at Paris, that a Navy like the British should have thought proper Arst to adopt. Others have been too ready to follow our example, and by doing so have rendered it almost morally impossible for the old, weakly armed, heavy sailers, unfortunately perpetuated by'repairs, to have the remotest chance of defining a flying enemy under the of a more feebly armed bow. In reference to the change of Ministry which brought Lord Grey into power, the article alluded to observes, that " Among the various appointments which had bpeq made in the different offices undAr Government, restilt ing frogs the recent ,tiange of Ministry, none should be looked on with greater interest than those that have been made in the Naval Administratirn. Most impor, taut as the Naval service must eve - e. be to the country, irons its peculiar local circumstances, yet is there no prof( ssion lees considered, less frequently brought before the public observation ; or whose improvements or de fects are less the subject of discussion. This arises from the peculiar nature of the service, unconnected with all other professions, and from the difficulty every one not versed in nautical affairs experiences in under standing its details." " Many other causes have combined to sink the naval service of the country into the lowest stages of neglect and forgetfulness. A few of the old warriors, of the thirty years' struggle, have certainly been noticed and brought forwa r d f rom re ti rem e n t and obscurity ; but the major part are forgotten and neglected. These re marks apply t o th e personnel' of the service. But these injuries are as nothing when compared with the defects and deficiencies of the system as connected with the materiel.' " With the exception of the administration of my Lord Spencer, remembered with gratitude and high acknowledgments by the old officers of the Navy, for the improvements then made in Naval architecture, each Board of Admiralty, as far as we can trace the history of our Naval annals, has been generally opposed in the most unaccountable manner, to all improvement in this particular. They objected to all ameliorations that could be drawn from the superior skill of our rivals ; or when compelled to yield to pressing exigencies, and have departed from the narrow paths of ignorance and false prejudice, their improvements have been confined to the imitation of those ameliorations which had been entirely out-stripped on the part of our foreign rivals, by other improvements still more important. " An adherence to this system, for the last fifteen years, when peace had left an opportunity for revising and correcting former habits, and of introducing thbse changes which time and skill have rendered necessary, has left our Navy in a condition very unsatisfactory as compared, with the naval forces of foreign P o wers, and has called forth the regrets and apprehensions of many able and talented officers. " It has been repeatedly asserted by the members of the Admiralty and Navy Board, that our Navy is in the highest state of efficiency ; that the ships were never in better repair, or readiness for service; that the materiel' of all kinds has been much improved, and that the personnel' is all that can be des;red. In re ply, I will observe that the Navy is perhaps in as high a condition with respect to the ships as it ever was in any part of the struggle of the last eventful war. But it is the misfortune of the British Navy, as it now exists, that our rivals no longer navigate the same class of ships and vessels to which we have been hitherto op posed. Tire march of improvement with them in Naval architecture has made the most rapid development. The models, on the other hand, from which si e copy, are generally of fifty or sixty yeers standing. Oth , rs have been established by the French and the North Aferericans, with all the improvements that experience and skill could suggest ; and although on the congre gated struggle of opposing fleets, and under certain aspects of wind and weather no doubt can be entertained, under Providence, of the glorious results of British skill and British intrepidity, yet it is impossible to imagine that the result would be equally the same in the battles of detail, when single ships may struggle for the mas tery ; when the most consummate, heroic devotion, the most practised skill must find itself unequal to the over whelming superiority of force. " That these who have been the directors of our naval administration, became in some way sensible of the idct, may be supposed by the attempt to increase the farce of some of our finest ships, as the Caledonia, by changing an armament which was perfectly adapted to their size, qualities, and capacities, for one which by its overwhelming weight will destroy the good effect of all the few improvements made on former occasions, and infallibly introduce all the vices so slowly and so reluc tantly remedied. " To the talented person at the head of the new Ad miralty Board a brilliant career is opened. He is at the head of the most important service of the country—one that until later days has been always most con g enial to the national taste, and interwoven with its habits and constitutional principles. He possesses high indepen dence, unshackled by political tics, and is not enveloped in the entanglement and mystification of Parliamentary influence, or prejudice to old habits and old customs. Good sense will teach him there is no disgrace in copy ing whatever from an enemy may carry on its face the stamp of improvement and perfection. The state, quality and condition of the ships, as well as the whole materiel' of the Navy, must be taken into considera tion ; and some deviation from old habits must be made, so far as economy will permit. I dwell on this as the most important consideration, because with good tools any thing may be accomplished by a skilful workman— with bad ones the most talented may be rendered invalid. Another most important branch, however, of the profession must be brought under consideration. It is the whole' personnel' of the navy. Ido not allude to the ability, the zeal, and devotion it contains, for that is unquestionable, but to the abuses that have crept into every department by the working of borough influence and favouritism, and the making the navy, not a pro fessional establishment for the defence of the country, and for guarding its commerce, but for the gratifying the corrupt and mercenary views of unprincipled borough voters. It is this misery which has brought the inexperienced youth into play, while the gray hairs of experience have lingered in forgetfulness. It is this which has filled the classes of our officers with a super fluous quantity of youthful blood, to fight, as they say, future battles,' when there were individuals in sufficient numbers, in the flower of their age, who in the course of nature would vigorously support the British flag for many years yet to come, although they might have done their deeds of battle and of peril ere the last re volutionary struggle was quelled." We naturally ask, if anything was done by this new Administration to counteract the bad effects of the miserable legacy, of overwhelming expenditure sacrificed in perpetuating error, left them by their predecessors ? Did any great amelioration of the " materiel" of the Navy take place, under an Administration commenced under such happy auspices ? Were abuses remedied, and improvements made ? Was borough influence destroyed, and the necessities of the service, the good of the profes sion, and the due reward of merit attended to,with those few exceptions of private patronage for friends, and a provision for a certain number of eligible and deserving family connexions, which I hold that every public sere yant has an honest right in due proportion to indulge in? I leave these questions to be hereafter treated of, except ing with respect to the " materiel" of the Navy. Never was there an officer who understood the wants of the naval profession better than Sir Thomas Hardy. Never did any man know better what a man-of-war should be, never was there one who could more duly appreciate the true disparity of force which an Englishman could count justly on in a struggle with the ships of' every country amongst our naval rivals ; and had this valuable legacy of our beloved and distinguished Nelson been left to his own judgment, and teen furnished with th e means, I have no doubt that we should soon have seen the ships of the Navy all that could have .been desired by the best friend of the service, or dreaded by an enemy. Well also would he have been supported by Sir John Pechell, his colleague at the Board ;and by Duncan at the Ordnance. Most favourable was the commence ment of this Administration. Better ships were planned, and measures were taken to make others more effective. But, whatever were the causes, I lament to say this re form was of short duration, Since 1831, the period referred to, only one frigate, the Vernon, of 50 guns, comprising 28 long 32-pounders, and 22 short, has been built, to cope with nineteen French frigates of sixty guns, built, or building, carrying thirty long guns, equal to our 32-pounders, two long 18-pounders, and twenty eight 32-pounder carronades. True, we have nine razees of the same size, and the French have three ; and each power has many frigates of different force and calibre ; but I maintain it is the policy of a great naval Power, like England, to take care to have ships of all classes possessed by our rivals, with all their good qualities, as proper and fit opponents for them in single struggles. Reseed vessels do not possess all the qualities of originally classed vessels. Again, to cope with the splendid French two-deckers of 100 guns and 90 guns, all heavy 32-pounders, in addition to three 90-gun ships, left by Lord Melville's Administration, sire have built one 120-gun ship, and we have three of 110, four of 80, and three of 70 guns building. A few 32 pounder frigates of 36 guns, two in Lord Melville's time have also been added ; three built and seven builtd ing ; foolishly destined to cope with the French frigates of 60 guns, when first proposed. Add t o this, a num ber of donkey frigates so called, and a few corvettes, and 32 pounder brigs, sailing generally better than their predecessors, though Inheriting all other objections, With a few large steamers ; and we have the full amount of the ameliorations made as to the ships of the service, during the successive Administrations since Lord Melville's resignation in 1831. I make this short reference to the improvement and addition to our Navy since 1831 to show in what propor tion these Administrations have added to its former usefulness. I will 4fer entering more into this important enNeet fea, another opportunity, should vskt4 eunceive what I now communicate worthy o f publication. In such case I will, with other scatters, enter upon further notice of the ('recta and assertions brought forward by Sir lohn Barrow, and make an exact and plainly-detailed comparison between the Navies a the principal Powers, without which their re lative force cannot be ascertained, numerical figures of different reported classes of vessels having no relation time;; 4t to the power of offence or defence. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedierti E eervant, V VICTIS. Wlli:ehall, 12th Feb., 1e39. • Sir—l am directed by Lord John Russell to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., relative to ecr. Lain property ktt for charitable purposes with:n the Bo_ rough of Newport, ( Momii)uthshire,) and to inform you that it is entirely a question of law, on which Lord John Russell can give no opinion. I am, Sir, your obedient S2rvant, ions FROST, Esq. F. MAcI.E. My Lord, my Lord, does your Lordship suppose that if it were a question of law, that I would consult Lotj John Russell? Not while a soveregt, could be found in my pocket. I would , 1 a ssu re y our Lordshie, apply to a very different qnartt-r. What, my Lord, are the facts of the case In. the year 1700, a gentleman of the name of Roger tt kf t a house in Newport, in Monmouthshire, to six poor rieople for ever." To each of these poor people he-lett ftur pounds a year, secured on certain estates in the cout.ty of Monmouth. These annuities were paid for more than a hundred years. About the year 1817 the Annuities mere discontinued, and with the exception of a trifling sum or two, the payments have, from that time ceased. About the year 1834, the Charity Commisfioners came to Newport ; I waited on thorn, and la.d the case of the poor people before these Gentlemen. They promised redress. In May, 1835, a letter was ad dressed to the Vicar of Newport, who imme brought it tome. Westmitliter, 21, Great G:t Jr:ze Street, May 21. ROGER WILLIAMS' ALAISIIOUSTS SIR—I take the liberty of troubling you upon the 5u!,j , , , ,t. of this Charity, the particulars of which resulting from investigation of it by the CommissknerS for inquiring iuta Charities having been certified by them to His IThijesty' Attorney-General with a view to his instituting proetn d. ins to recover the arrears of toe Annuity of twenty-four pounds, left under the will of the late Roger Wilu aul , for this charity, and to establish the same. An information was in contequence prepared, an d wou ld have been filed in the Court of Chancery against Messrs. J. M. Richards, J. Homfray, and J. Wood, ti owners of the property chargeable with the Annuity had I not been informed that Mr. E. P. Richards, Soii citor, had sent a letter to the Charity Commissioners, stating that those Gentlemen had arranged to discha,ge the arrears of and to pay the annuity regularly in future. I have since (a few days ago) received a letter from him to ti.e same effect, and the twitter is now under the Attomey. General's consideration. IL is v,ry desirable, to prevent any difficulties hereafter with the present or future owners, or any confesien gards the property chargeable e it'd the annuity, that tees should be appointed, and the ennuity eseee -e e them, and that the future rtateigere ent o f the C should he Court, the expense regulatedby " seine plan or sc h eme to be er bythe of which m ust b e d efrayeu Ley of the arrears. It is also desirable that the residue of the arrears should be invested in the funds, and the ieterest ap plied towards increasing the allowances to the alrep ee pt e , and raising a fund to met any extra.orditiary expens es of future repairs of the almshouses, " and of conveeanecs to new trustees." But to effect this it will be necessary that the alms-houses, now in a very bad condition, and which have hitherto been repaired by the parish, should be put into complete repair, by and at the expense of the parish, and, as in all probability it will be the last tax on the parish, I hope there will be no difficulty in obtaining the assent of the parishioners. The purport of my present application, therefore is, to inform you of the above circumstances, and to request you to be good enough to see the parish authorities, with a view of getting the parish to put the almshouses into com plete repair as suggested. I am your obedient servant, JOSEPH PARKE:S. Solicitor for the Attorney- General in Charity Matters. When the Vicar of our Borough, who is a Tory, but a very benevolent man, banded me this letter, I told him, there Sir, you see the effect of Reform. See what the Re formers do. We have a Reform Ministry ; the Attorney General is a Reformer ; Mr. Parkes is a R e f ormer. I ain. going to London in a few days, I shall receive the money, for I dare say that I shall be able to convince Aft 2. Parkes, that schemes and plans, and going into the Court of Chancery will be unnecessary, and the poor old people cull have their money. I called on Mr. Parkes, and after a few minutes' conversation, 1 found that I 'nd made a mistake as to that gentleman ; fur it appeared that 1 could as easily move St. Paul's, as move Mr. Parkes from the Court of Chancery and from his schemes and plans. I pointed, or rather attempted to point out, the in justice of laying out the money of these poor people in law expenses, or in adding to the amount of future annaitancs. I told him, that as the corporate bodies would be under po pular influence, that the Corporation of the Borough would, in future, see that the poor people should have justic e . / could not succeed. Mr. Parkes was determined that if there should be no Chancery suit, there should be no money. I c f tor o u3 r . t what s h h e be Borough,c Memberso tlod ad it po l p r ;i . .n g 7 t wrote to the Commissioners; I wrote to the Atti:rue ~1- t t, e rb ta r tt General ; I wrote to your Lordship ; I wrote to Lord In-aolpiciettyh liable to Melbourne; but all my applications were fruitless.

The town of Chesterfield has now become as notorious for agitation on the Church-rate question, her Majesty's dominions. The fi rst indicationa e anyo town ftheris in ing storm was in 1837, when Mr. Sayer,a gentleman very extensively engaged in the drapery business, s and several other respectable tradesmen, made a conscience-tax party, and in speeches ta o e f (.l considerable t r o ble the ability, exhibited the imp o li ey and injustice of taxing Dissenters for the support of a Church whose tenets and practices they disapprove. There was a large attendance of rate. payers from the surrounding Hamlets as well as from the town, who raised their voices i against the grievance, consequently the preposition for a s rate was negatived by a show of hands. T he Church party did not demand a poll, but commenced a volu)d ar y subscription, which was responded to very liberally b y Dij_ senters. In 1838, the Church patty, the more bigotted of whom carry their rancour into private circles, re . I solved to try their strength. They were sick of voltin. 1 taryism, because it inflicted a little humility. Mr. S ayer. Mr. Bingham (Quaker), and other respectable trades. I men, again came forward to oppose the rate, which was again negatived by a show of hands, but lost in th t , pueri,llt: in consequence of intimidatio n, and the use of und ue in. fluence on the part of their opponents. . Messrs. H Sayer, and Cantrell resolve d to allow thei law. to tak e i ts course ; they refused to p a y the tax,toetr , good s ~e le seized, and advertised for sale on ....aturuay last, the a cheap no 16th instant. At the hour appointed an immense con_ Course of people assembled in the.avoMarket.place, some of i'them evidently anxious to h bargain,ote and others as positively determined N that no bargain should be made.
