THE GERMAN PRESS. (From the Times.) consitkrable space in many of the German - papers tees, for some time past, been tecupied kg amounts of the proceedings nt the federal Diet and the different Governments relative te! the press, and by discussions on the le g ali t y and validity of the measures which It 'been adoted ; but the intricacy of the details, eon necced with the- laws and constitutiiene of the several states, and the mconsistenty of the state• treats in which the writcm frequently infleige, east an obscurity oft the questions herfaled, and occasionally lead to misrepreetutations of mat ters of fact. Thus it has lately been stated in the Fren c h papers, and rep ea t e d by some of Our own, that the Court of Munich heel remonstrated against the decree of the fedral Diet-, prohibit ing the circulation of certain journals 'printed . niihin the Bavarian territory. The event would have been important, but nothing could belle:eve erroneous than _am assertion that it had ceeturred. HoWever, from articles in the German papers, a hope certainly does appear to have been enter tained that the execution of the decree of the Diet would not be ordered by the Bava rian Government; but it is su . errising that such a hope should have existed in the mind of any person who hael read the two Bavarian decrees, or rescripts as they are called, of tire tat of March ;one of which was directed against the associations for defending the 'liberty of the Press—the other against the Tribune and .the Westbot.e, the journele which recommended the formation of those Germanic unions. Now these rem:4l)es afforded a sufficient manifesteion of the spirit of the Bavarian Government, and their date proves that Government to have been at least one day beforehand with the Diet in the adoption of those measures of repression, the arbitrary character of which is the subject of ge neral complaint. On the 2d of March the Diet passed the fa mous decree which has produced an extraordi nary excitement throughout Germany. It was . Hot made public until about a fortnight after its .. date. The pressure of other matters has hitherto left us no room for this memorable act cjf the German " Conservatives ; but, . eoweideein g that a document to which so metal interest .is at t ached ought not to be omitted, we now insert a translation of the text as It was given in the Frank - Solt journals of themiddle of last month:— " FRANKFORT.-Tht High German Federal Assembly passed the following decree on the 2d day of March, is the present year : " The Federal Assembly by the reported propo- Tpositims of the committee on the affairs of the press, and the articles submitted from the papers published in Rhen ish Bavaria, vie. the, German Tribuneand the West/tote, as tvell as from the Ncw Zeitschwingen, published in Henan, convinced that the said papers depreciate the dtgttity and security of the Federation and of the iraliViAttal States,— ende.nge.ing the peace and tranquillity of Germany,— strive to loosen the bonds of confidence and attachment between princes and the people,—endeavour to annihilate the authority of Governments,—attack the inviolability of sovereigns, —threaten persons and property by eppeals to force,—instigate to commotion,—and seek to in:roduce into Germany political disorganisation and anarchy, and to form and propagate associations dangerous to the State, —has, therefore, on the basis of the provisional law of the press, of the 20th September, 1819, see. 1,6, and 7, tvhicb,—in virtue of the unanimous and repeatedly -adopted re lesions of all the members of the Federal Union, remains in force until the German c , infederacy shall concur in the enactment of new local measures,—as ;as duty bound, to provide for the. maintenaoce.of the peace and tranquillity of the confederacy, in the name and by the authority thereof deemed " 1. The journals published in Rheni-h Bavaria,—the German Tribune and the Westbote, and the Xete Zeitsch wingen, published at ilanao, as well as such other journals as may, under any title, appear in the stead of the said three, are hereby suppressed, and in all the States of the German Confederacy prohibited. " 2. In pursnance whereof, the editors ef the said Journals,—namely, Dr. Wirth, of the German Tribune, Dr. Siebenpfeitfer, of the 11 7 estboftr, and George Stein, the pret.tnded editor of the Nor Zeitschwingen, in accord :MCC with the provision of seven of the decree of I.lle Diet of the 20th of September, 1819, shall not, for five years frotu this (late, be p-rrnitted to c-lit any similar publication in any State of the Confederacy. " 3. The Governments of the several States shall be rEquirrel, through their Envoys, to publish this decree forthwith by their legal and of Journals. " 4.. All the said Governments, and particularly the Ravarian and the Electoral Hessi , n, are required to en force the execution of the sail decree. " 5. The several Governments arc required within four weeks to notify to the Diet that, and in what manner, the said pobbcation and execution have taken place. Wherefore every delivery of the said Papers, namely, the German Tribune, the Westbote, and the Nei; Zeitschwinjen, as well as such Journals which, under any other title, may lie printed in their stead, to private per sons, or their publication in public places within city and its territory, in whatever manner such may take place, is, tinder the severest penalties, interdicted ; and moreover, the publishers and editnrs of the said Journais—Dr. Wirth, Dr. Siehenpfeiffer, and George Stein—shall not, during the space of five years, be permitted to edit any similar Paper within this city and the territory thereof. (Signed) " THE CITY CHANCERY. " frankfort, March 13." The delay of the Court of Bavaria to obey the mandate of the Diet, doubtless gave occasion to the report of the refusal of that Court to enforce the above decree. The four weeks allowed by the Diet for notice being returned of its adop tion were allowed to expire, though within that period the other states, Baden included, had signified their adherence. Besides, the grounds on which the BaVarian rescripts already men tioned proceed purport to be altogether national. It is set forth that political associations are not permitted by the constitution, that the Tribune and Wesibote had used unlicensed presses, and that they had withheld their articles on foreign states from the examination of the censors. It may also, and with truth, be said, that between a government instituting measures of its own ac cord, and adopting the same measures at the dictation of an extraneous assembly, which assumes to itself a right of control over the inter nal affairs of independent states, there is an essen tial difference; and we apprehend it must have been solely under these points of view that the liberal party in Germany set so much value on the sup posed indisposition of the Bavarian Government to recognize the authority of the Diet in the question of the Press. Wl:at the Diet directed to be done had previously been done, for it made no difference in principle that to the two Papers proscribed by the Bavarian rescript the decree of the Diet added a third—namely, the Zeitsch wingen. The order for the execution of the decree was therefore a mere matter of form ; but the withholdin g of it might have proceeded from a determination not to acknowledge the authority of the Diet in such matters, which would have been regarded as indic a tin g a system of policy likely to prove favou ra bl e to the popular cause. We may here observe that a considerable party in Germany has long hoped to find in Bavaria the protector and encourager of liberal institu tions. "With that country the 'Amalie constitutional States might be induced to coalesce, and thus a mass of power would be constituted capable of counteracting the present preponderance of Aus tria and Prussia. But this expectation has been sadly dim)} ointed by the concessions of the Bava rian Government. On the 31st of -March, a few days before the King left Munich on his travels to Italy, he signed a rescript, in which, after reciting the decree..of theptet, hip Maje4y, i-efers to 'the begot ' -mentioned rescript against the l';.iburk and Westbote, and states, that having . t.a?:en with regard to these journals the consti tutional measures best calculated .to attain -the declared object of the Diet, and as _the said measures had already J c.:l.lried into effect, -- ht, in ecinformity with the resolutibn of the Diet, iiit,riThits - within his dornin'iti%S the circu t;,...tion of the journal r blislled at I - lanau, under the title of the New Zeitschrvingen. We gave this reectipt on Thursday last, among other el , :tracts from the Brussels wipers. I t appears to be regarded by ITIAIIy 'the ,p 0/ideal Writers of Germany as afrorcling 'n4i'lest'-onatile proof of the inituenve of .taut, and Prussia over the Cotrt "di 1 .,/il. - ...:!m;ch. :Metternich, it is believed. ; ht. , 13 fof all the resource7oftliplomatic in trigue to prevent the. Got:effiffnents of Bavaria and Wirteinburg . fret: pacing themselves at the head of the party—a policy which, in the pre; rent agitated state of Germane * iniatt naYe opened them views of irOnetic-aLle ° ambition. But, however great tti`a temptation in this way may have le , 7".el'r, it must on the other hand be conge,SS'ed that it was scarcely to be e!...tpetted that any German Government, the test Which dread nothing so much as ti - t ascendancy of po pular rights., -tvotlAAl boldly embark •on such a course to natural enemies of freedom and tree bit-and-bit reformers, if they yield anything to public opini on , it i s a l ways as Hut,. As psii ln these States tilt geearcit national inte . rests mustoftett }!,e 't;ifEriiit.sed to the petty feel ings of titint."e"ti and courtiers. The question of tirt '413 of the Diet to prohibit particular jour: nala would now appear to be practically settled by the acquiescence of the separate Oriov'erliniente but it is would agitated in pamphlets and other pub lications, We also atta ft frequently stated, that some of the courts of justice refuse to sanction the measures of poliCe necessary to enforce the de cree of the Diet. It has been over and over again asserted, conteaditsted, and re-asserted, that the Court of Appeal of her had addressed. a protest to the Bavarian Government against the rescripts attaching c r i m i na li t y to the associations and journals of Rhenish Bavaria; but we have as yet seen nothing official on this subject. However, we yesterday received an account of a judicial decision in the territory of the grand duchy of Baden, which, though it does not relate to any of these papers proscribed by the Diet, is very important-, as it supports the opinion of those who rely on the spirit and independence of the German judges. A paper, called Freysinnige, had been stopped by the police, and the whole of the impressions of two successive numbers sequestrated. - The Editor appealed to the High Court of Justice of the Upper Rhine against the arbitrary act of the Administration, resting his defence on the provisions of the Constitution and the law of the prose, The Court, after consi dering a report on the case from the municipal council of Friburgh, which was in favour of the appellant, not only released the papers from se questration, but made an order for the payment of all the costs of the process by the public treasury. Both on the late and former debate on the Reform Bill, in the Lords, Lord LYNDHURST refrained from speaking until the LORD CHANCELLOR had ad dressed the House. Whether the Noble Lord was re strained by delicacy from taking precedence of the CHAN. CELLOR, or anx . ety to avoid his reply, or any other, and what reasons, or how many (five thousand more or less), the public are at present left to conjecture. When Sir H. DAVY was travelling on the continent, a distinguished person about a foreign court in quired who and what he was, never having heard of his sci entitle fame; upon being told that his discoveries had revolu tionised chemistry, the courtier promptly replied—" I hate all revolutionists; his presence will not be acceptable here.', The Moniteur de Commerce contains a letter alluding to the failure of SILLEM and Co., of Hamburg, ascribing this event, so important to the commercial world, to unsuccessful speculations in the Funds, which the assistance afforded by the house of HOPE and Co., of Amsterdam, to the extent of half a million of mares banco, could not aver t. Frankfort was not thought likely to suffer 11 this catastrophe, though other phces might : Amsterdam, for instance, where it might cause a reaction, and thus occasion the sacrifice of fresh victims. The in telligence produced, therefore, immediitely an urtoward effect on the Money Market, which had been declining for several days past , owing to the critical state o f thi ngs i n the Netherlands, and the fresh disturbances at Paris. Pope GREGORY XVI., according to the usage of the Roman Church, gave his benediction to a gulden rose on the Ist of April, the fourth Sunday in Lent. This rose was usually sent by the Pope to some Princess distinguished by her devotion and services to the Holy See. Some Statesmen, who think themsdves ac quainted with the policy of the Roman Court, say that this rose has a secret destination, which depends on an eventuslity--the success of the expedition of Don PEDRO in Portugal. In this case it will be sent to the young Queen DoNNA MA RIA. —French Paper.

CHOLERA PANIC !—A ludicrous instance of the force of imagination, in connexion with the alarm respecting cholera, so prevalent at present, has been men tioned to us on excellent authority ; and as we are as much averse to excessive fear as to rash security, we publish it with a view to correct unnecessary apprehension in the timid. On Sunday last a respectable grocer, who re sides in the neighbourhood of Capel-street, while enjoying his hebdomadal recreation of a walk, was attracted towards a crowd of persons who seemed to be engrossed by some object of pa'nful attention, and on approaching, he found it was a poor man laid upon a door, and writh ing and groaning under some severe personal affliction. A single view was sufficient to satisfy him that the unfortu nate man was suffering the hopeless agonies of cholera, and he shrunk with horror from contact even with these humane persons who were about to bear the patient to an hospital. He was a nervous man, and all the frightful descriptions ha had heard of the ravages of cholera, pre sented therneelvea to his mini!, with a fearful vividity, and he returned home depressed by the'gloomiest reflections. lie felt himself grow suddenly unwell ; and in a short time he was in such a state as to exci e great alarm in his family. Medical advice was resorted to, and the gentle men of the faculty were surprised to find a case present ing some of the most striking characteristics of cholera, hut without several of its essential symptoms, in a man of a full and healthy frame, who attributed the tortures he experienced to contagion. Some remedies were, of course, administered, but without affording any decisive relief, while the despondency of the patient tended con siderably to aggravate his sufferings. At length a shrewd practitioner inquired into the nature of the contagion by which the disease was supposed to be communicated—it was described to him—he followed up his inquiries-- by visiting the hospital to which the first patient was con veyed, and he found him under the hands of a surgeon, in the difficult operation of setting s compound fracture of the leg ! The fact was communicated to the hypochon driac. Need we say that he did not find the fractured leg contagious, and that he speedily recovered . ?—Dublin Morning Register.

MALITtIA. Health is so important a blessing.- to us all, •an is so frequently endangered in .England by the impure exhalations of mats'.'' ground, that our reader's feel interested in knowing . the retult of a number of observations and extitii ments on such exhalations, trade` by aitycable French philosopher, M. Julia, froth whose work these extra ;t5 rev'tews all the known Marshes, of the. two .hri4s, and .shows thdt th: , 3 iftdr:shes of France alone occupy 1„::00,000 acres ; and that,if those sources of destruction, which diffuse, weettn - en, ill health, and death, wtert' dialned and converted into ;and, they would feed a million of inha bitants, and contribute seven mill i= to, the re venues of the State. He attributes the (llfference which exists hqtiteen the tYrAtic:;ti or life in toWns-, Anti iYs illiration in the country, as much t the insalubrity of the air caused by the sewers, the filth, and the stagnation of dirty, narrow, and crooked streets,,, as to the de bauched and, irregular or the population. He .4itViis, by the result of observation, that the effluvia of marshes and of the yellow fever do not extend their influence beyond a limited height above the places in which they,art . prodoced, which height is estimated at bbte.- . 2en 100 to 150 fa thourt., It affeais that if the marshes are always co'Veredovith water, and if the summer is not very hot, putrefaction will be scarcely sensible ; but that if stagnant waters evaporate, they leave an `uncovered slime, in which myriads of aquatit animals and vegetables pbrisli and putrify: This abP.orbs the oxygen of the air, and giVes out in return deleterious gases ) produced by the decomposition of the Water, soured with frag ments of animal and vegetable matter. It ap pears the air of marshes, that of hospiCals, all differ from pure air only by a very small quantity of carbonic acid, if we are to trust the best che mical analysis; nevertheless the author thinks tith Guyton, Morreau, and others, that the gases resulting from putrefaction, retain and carry with them certain particles of putrid substances, anti that those particles introduced into the human body are the germs of epidemic disorders; he goes further, he maintains these germs are not identical," because chlorine, which destroys all of them, has no effect on that of the yellow fever. It is clear that the morbific principles of the air of marshes are certain particles of decomposed vegetable and animal matter, of a particular and specific nature, which elude chemical analysis, although their presence is attested by the manner in which they affect our senses. He is far from ascribing all epidemics to marshy effluvia, every one of those disorders seems to have a particular virus, a specific germ. Thus the itch, hydro phobia, the yellow fever, &c., depend each upon principles which are incapable of engendering other disorders. He next proceeds to the best means of disinfecting the air. Fire is one of them. Epidemics have been stopped by burning a large quantity of vegetable matter. He con demns the use of odoriferous scents to conceal the fetor of bad air ; he confides in chlorine, the most efficacious of all anti-contagions. He endeavours to persuade the inhabitants of.towns, where epidemics are raging, not to expose them selves to the sudden effect of cold and damp ; • to observe regular regimen ; to eat only healthy food, easy of digestion ; to drink wine moderately, and spirits not at - all; to « away with melan choly;'' to shun any excess of pleasure tending to weaken the body ; to observe the greatest cleanliness ; frequently to wash their whole body with cold water ; and never. to go out fasting before sunrise. He-recommends the magistrates of towns under such a visitation, to order the streets to be frequently swept, the kennels washed, the sewers inundated, and• filth of all - kinds to be removed. Friday "%EGA RR A WAY, baker, of Batheaston, committed suicide by hanging himself in an outhouse ad. joining his premises. The awful fact was discovered by one of his own children, who went to call him to dinner, when the body was perfectly lifeless. It is reported that pecuniary embarrassments led him to commit the dreadful act. Verdict—" Temporary derangement " lie has left a wife and six children.

TITHES.—A fact has come to our know ledge which will establish the fatuity of the attempt to prop up the crumbling establishment, much less to per petuate the tithe system in any way, or under any name in Ireland. A few days ago, the incumbent of Clashrnore, county of Waterford, caused summonses to the Dungarvan Sessions, to be served on ten or twelve of the most respec table parishioners, including a popular barrister, who per emptorily refused to pay tithes either in money or in kind ; but declared their determination to become Quakers in this regard, and to permit the parson to seize and sell the best way he could, any head of cattle he might fix upon, in lieu of his demand. The day of trial having arrived, the parson, who had drawn the summonses him self, directed his law agent, Mr. GA RDN Elt, a Protestant, be it understood, to conduct the cases. The attorney refused point blanc to interfere at all in any actions, suits, or prosecutions growing out of the popular re sistance to tithes or church rates. Two other attor nies were subsequently applied to, and one of them, a Catholic, at first consented to act, but upon considera tion, adopted what he deemed the wiser course, and flung the original summonses up. The Parson, thus left to his fate by the attorneys, and not being able to procure a law agent of any religious or political' creed, to move his cases, was obliged to suffer* dismiss to be entered on each summons—and of course to dine that day without his tithe arrear, which amounts, as we- have been informed, to only 121. The game is up with their reverences when the attorneys refuse a fee to act in their behalf.—Dublin Morning Register. On the 23d of April (New Style), 1709,- 1,?3 years ago,—the first number of the Taller was pub lished. A volume containing all the numbers, not re printed, but as they originally came from the press, is now before us. We look upon this volume with a sort of venera'ion. Pius publication was the first attempt made in England, or in any other country, to instruct and amuse unlearned readers by short pipers, appearing at stated intervals, and sold at a cheap rate. The Talkr was the first Penny II:loyal:rine ; and some of the ablest writers which England has produced did not think it beneath them to contribute to this good work of enlight ening a large body of their countrymen, to whom this little paper was devoted. Amongst the most eminent of these men were STEELE, ADDISON, and SWIFT —names which will be remembered as long as the English language en dures. The object of these writers was "to bring phi losophy out of closets and libraries, schools and colleges, to dwell in clubs and assemblies, at tea-tables and at coffee-houses." They aimed at refining the mass of idle and ignorant people who then constituted what was called " the town ;" and to repress the looseness and coarse mils of manners which then prevailed. There was at that time very little general knowledge ; and even those whose stations in life afforded them leisure wasted their opportunities for improvement in frivolous or wicked amusements. It was then thought no dis grace to be ignorant of the commonest things ; and a per son of wealth or rank was not considered less a gentleman for being an open profligate. It was a hold attempt to endeavour to allure the idle to some application, and to cover the vicious with well-deserved ridicule. But the attempt succeeded. GAT, who lived at the same time as ADDISON and STEELE, speaking of ISAAC BICE ERST Art. (the assumed name of the conductor of the Taller), says, —" It is incredible to conceive the effects his writings have bad on the town ; how many thousand follies they have either quite banished or given a very great check to; bow much countenance they have added to virtue and re ligion ; how many people they have rendered happy by showing that it was their own fault if they were no! so; and lastly, how entirely they have convinced our fops and young fellows of the value and advantages of learning."— From every yn week.

We find, in a private letter received this morn ing from Paris, some details respecting the actual state of the negotiations for placing Prince OTito, of Bavaria, on the throne of Greece, which tray be considered as tolerably authentic. The more immediate difficulty is in what manner funds are to be obtained to enable tl e young Prince to enter on his new functions with suitable dignity. The Allied Powers seem to have been partly g uided to the selection of a Greek Sovereign from this 't l : a riily by the circumstance that the King of BAVARIA is posse.,_aed of great private wealth, and able, therefore, to furnish resources for a civil list to his son for a few years, so as not to press at mice for support on the exhausted finances of Greece. The KING, however, is not disposed to any such application of his means, and finds little en couragement, it is said, on the other hand, to expect as sistance from the country he governs, the people treating it as a family, and not as a national question. He is per suaded, therefore, that the Chambers, should they be con voked with that view, will never consent to the raising any su m for that purpose. The independent tone lately as sumed by that body does, indeed, quite bear out such an expectation.- The only alternative that presents itself is the guarantee of a loan to Greece, on the part of those powers who have offered the Sovereignty to Prince Orno. This has accordingly been suggested by his father, and if the result should not be favourable, the negotiation is ex pected to come to a stand on that ground alone. Another very important point now pending is the choice of a Mi nister to accompany the . young P r i nce , w h o, b e i ng a m inor, the country must, in tact, be governed by the per son to whom that trust is given : and on this a diff rence of opinion is said to exist among the Powers who seek to accomplish the settletnent of Greece. Count D'AttatEN srcuc, as a man of talent, and also of liberal principles, his been named for the office. His nomination is sup ported by France, but by R uss i a h e is, of course, hated and opposed, and the King o f B AVARIA i s a l so sa i d to h ave objected to his appointment, though on the ground solely of personal dislike. Wi t h t h ese o b stac l es; however, ❑the was', it is believed that if P t -i nce O reeo goes to G reece , Count D'ARMENSPEE G will be his Prime Minister. Ne vertheless, as may be gathered from what has been already stated, his actual assumption of the Sovereignty is a matter of very considerable doubt,— Times. DEPLORABLE,. DLSTRVSS. AT, ALMOND ,\ Bußt 'AND N4OIeI3OIJRHOOD: The Wakefield Journal --of Priday contains a heartrending report of the proceedings of a public meeting held st Huddersfield yesterday week, for the purpose of inquiring inid fh6, Present distress which prevails in that district: It appears that a committee hail been forined during the winter, to inquire lido the state i2f the population, when, after diligent inquiry, it was ascertaiiied thet the average support of members of families at Almondbury and the adjoining hamlets was twopence per day! and that there are hundreds of adrilt persons who have not tasted butchers' meat for many ffidtithei sonic of whom have not even tasted bread nor tea, but lived upee potatoes ! Oeo. Beaumont. e one Of the committee ap pointed. to ascertain the state of the. poor, said, the cases were not selected, but taken from door to doott The fist case was that of a widow, with six chil dren, whose leeekle ineerne was 6s. When visited, they were in a state of actual starvation; the Youngest child was ill of the typhus fever, of which disease its father died some months before. At the time of his deeedee, there was hot a fiddling or a farthing's-worth of food in the house, nor the least oit of soap to wash their few rags-e-nor any means of getting any.—(Shame.) The second case was that of a family of three persons, whose income amounted to three shillings, who lived upon pota toes, end sometimes a little oatmeal: This poor man was 18e. in drreat with his rent, for which his landlord sold his jenny, which cost him 31., so that if the man had work, he had no means of working. The next ease was a family of ten persons, whose weekly income was Os., and who when visited in the evening, were found breaking their fasts with coarse bread and mint tea, without sugar. The mo ther was crying over her distressed offspring. Case the fourth :—a family of five persons; weekly in comeSs. ; the wife had been in the typhus fever ten weeks; the family lived chiefly cn potatoes and sale, balm tea, without sugar ; and they had had only four ounces of sugar during four weeks. Case the fifth family of five, whose wet kly income ,for the last twelve months was 65.; they lived upon potatoes mixed with salt and water—sometimes an onion to savour this unsavoury food.—(Shame, shame.) Case sixth :---a family of seven, all with out work, and had not had more than a pound of animal food during the last four months. The se venth case was a family of seven, who had not more than 7s. a week for the last three months. The se unfortunate beings had not tasted animal food for eighteen weeks; they lived chiefly upon oatmeal porridge : and, when visited, they had not a morsel of food in the house; they were all pining for want. This was on a Tuesday, and they had riot bad arty food since the previous Friday, excepting a little that they borrowed.—(Shame.) Case eighth :—a family of seven; weekly incomes 10s.; they had not tasted animal food for many weeks, and had not had a gill of beer in the house for two years. They knew not how they lived ; they were tired of living. The ninth case was a family of five; weekly income, for the last six months, 75.; all the furniture had been taken for rent ; not a table or chair left. When visited they had no animal food, no bread, so beer, no tea, no nothing. They had nei ther tea nor sugar in the house, but lived upon po tatoes and oatmeal porridge when it could be pro. cured. The tenth was a family of five, whose weekly income was 7s. One of these poor creatures had to work all the night before he (Beaumont) took his statement, to finish the work in his loom, for the purpose of saving the rest from dying of ac tual starvation, as the whole family had not had more than sixpennyworth of food for the three pre ceding days. Mr. Beaumont then proceeded to give the meet ing the state of the people of Scammonden, and out of a list" of thirty-eight cases, he read the following nine :—l. A family of three—income Is. 9d. per week; they sleep in a corner of the loom-shop, upon straw, strewn upon the floor, without any covering except the old clothing which they wore in the day time. 2. A family of four—weekly income 55.; they lived on potatoes and thin water porridge; no milk, as they could not pay for it; no bread, no meat; had woven 160 yards, and travelled 48 miles, for 16s. 4d. 3. A widow and four children with a weekly income of 4s. 6d.; they lived upon oatmea l porridge, without milk, treacle, or any thing else; no furnioire ; their bed was not worth a penny ; indeed, they were perishing for want of food. 4. A family of nine, whose weekly income was 75.; the whole of them lay on a bed of straw, in a corner of a wrethed hovel, not fit for one of the brute crea tion to inhabit They had no bed-clothes or other covering, except a dirty course wrapper. In this family misery reigned in silent triumph. 5. A fa. mily of nine, with a weekly income of Bs.; they laboured fourteen hours per day; they had three beds, and but one blanket for the three, and that was nine years old. These miserable creatures, when visited, were getting their breakfast; the mother had a gill of milk, which she measured out by spoonfuls to their thin water porridge, being only two spoonfuls and a half each. G. A family of ten, whose weekly income was 10s.; they had only one straw bed for the whole family, they had no bed clothes, but slept in those which they wore dur ing the day. This family lived chiefly on _potatoes, but sometimes had a pound of suet; they had not had a pound of bread in the house, except ing two or three penny cakes, during the last three years.—(Shame.) 7. A family consisting of a widow and three children; they are em ployed in weaving woollen ends at Is. 4d. per score; she scoured her own weft, for doing which she had nothing allowed, and took her work to Huddersfield. There was neither meat, drink, nor money in the house, when visited. 8. A family of three; weekly income Is. Bd.; no bed, excepting some straw, with an old bag for covering. It was so long since this family had any animal food that they did not recollect the time. They had not had any bread in the house for the last five years. The old woman• is seventy years of age, and has long been praying for death to relieve her front her misery. 9. A family of four, whose weekly income was 35.; they could not tell when they had any animal food, and it was two years since they had tasted bread.— (Shame, shame.) This was the state of men in middle age, and in the prime of life—of young men and women; what, then, was the state of their aged parents ? If they searched the workhouse and poor-books, they would find that they had so much allowed them as would keep them alive, and keep them miserable or pining in workhouses. STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—III February last a young woman, named EMMA WHITWORTH, was examined at 'Wakefield on suspicion of having concealed the body of her child. SARAit WHITWORTH, her sister, deposed to having assisted at the accouchement, and to having hurt the child, whereby it died. Sae said she buried it in an adjacent manure heap, but it could not be found. EMMA WHITWORTH denied having given birth to a child, and the sister afterwards declared her first statement to be false. As money had been obtained from the parish for EMMA, on the ground of her pregnancy, it was thought that the whole affair bad in the first instance been trumped up to obtain the lying-in and pariah-money, and consequently the affair was dropped. A circumstance has late . ) , occurred which has excited much interest EMMA WHITWORTH lodged with a woman named SE NIOR, at the time it was said she was delivered, at Ossett street•side. .Near the house is a well, used in common by the neighbours; and from this well at different times, since February, something having the appearance of fl,sh in a jellied state has been fetched up with the water, of which no particular notice was taken. On Wednesday, the 11th inst., however, a woman named CARR drew fr om the well something which excited her alarm and suspicion, and her neighbours were speedily congregated to examine it. The general belief was, that it was the skeleton of a child, wanting the head, and fresh examinations will pro bably be entered into.

LIMA PAPERS. We have received Lima Papers to the 22d of Pecernher, but they contain no intelligence of any importance. The squabble with Bolivia having been finally and fully adjusted, Peru, with a partial excep tion, Was again tranquil, and busied with its domestic concerns, the fietter Securing the peace of the country against the disorderly bands which the late disturb at:ces had let loose; the protection of agricultdrei and the promotion of commerce, had taken the place of {;lees of aggression against their neighbours of Bolivia. The reduction of the army to a force of 3,000 men only in fifne of peace, in pursuance of the treaty With Bolivia, was Ordered by the Minister of Nlrar, and wank!, it was thought, meet with no farther opposition. (From the Mercurio Peruviano.) LIMA, Nov. Lt.—By extraordinary advices received from Guayaquil, it appears that a revolution broke out on the 15'th tictotwr at Quitd, the progress of which was pro moted by the V'ergas troops. °metal Flores, on present.. ing himself to make an haranguer Was fired upon by the sol diers. The horse which he rode waa killed under him. An Aid-de.Camp of his likewise was killed; SO several of those around him were wounded. We are informed that General Flores was under the ne cessity of flying to a convent, from which he afterwards found means of withdrawing to his estate. A squadron, which had ?reed some time in quarters at Riombaba, lass received orders to march on Quito. On the 14th instant, in the middle of the night, the President, D. Augustin Gamarra, returned to the capital. His arrival at Lima gives satisfaction to all the friends of public order, since it is the most undoubted evidence of a stop being once for all put to the hostile preparations tvhich have been productive of so much alarm. The next day the Governor published an address to the people and the troops, in which he congratulated them upon the return of peace, and pledged himself henceforth to consolidate their acquired tranquillity.

LEGAL AND ILLEGAL WAGERS.—Lord ELLENBOROUGH refused to try an action upon a wager ort r a cock-fight, observ;ng it was impossible to be engaged in ludicrous inquiries of this sort consistently with that dig nity which it was essential a Court of Justice should prey serve. 3 Camp. 140. In another case, which was a wager whether a person might he lawfully arrested for a sum under 40!., his Lordship threw down the record with great displeasure, saying, " I certainly will not try this cans-. 1 sit here to decide points of law that arise inci dentally before me, and the decision of which is necereary for the purposes of justice ; not to state my opinion upon any question submitted to me from idle cariosity. I con sider the attempt extremely indece• t." 2 Camp. iOS. On the other hand, an action was held to be maintainable on a wager of a " rump and dozen," whether the defendant was older than the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant VauGHAN urged, with his usual effect, that insead of any public prejudice arising from the thing betted, it was for the public benefit to promote convivia'ity and good humour. MaNseteen, C. J., indeed, said, " he did not judicially know the mean ing of a rump and dozen ;" but HEATH, J., obs;!rved, that they knew very well privately that a rump and dozen was what the witness stated—n itnely, a good dinner and wine, " in which," said the Learned Judge, " I can dis cover no illega:ity." GIIAMBRE, J., added, that " the witness had explained the rump and dozen to mean a good dinner, and this is sufficiently certain. Then where is the immorality? Is it impossible for people to sit down to a good dinner without being guilty of excess?" 3 Camp. 161.—Lrgal Observer. SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S SUPPOSED AT.. TACHMENT TO ALCHEMY.—Although there is no reason to suppose that Sir ISAAC NEWTON was a believer in the doctrines of alchemy, yet we are informed by the Rev. Mr. Law, that he had been a diligent student of JACOB BFHMEN'S writings, and that there were found among his papers copious abstracts from them in his own hand-wri ting. He states also, that Sir ISAAC, together as ith One Dr. NEWTON, his relation, had, in the earlier part of his life, set up ft maces, and were for several months at work in quest of t' e philosopher's tincture. These statements may receive some confirmation from the fact, that there exist among the Portsmouth Papers many sheets in sir ISAAC'S own writing, of FLAMMEL'S Explication of Hiero glyphic Figures, and in another hand, many sheets of Yavoarn's " Processus mysterii magni philosophicus," and also from the manner in which Sir ISAAC requests Mr. ASTON to inquire after one BORRY in Holland, who always went clothed in green, and who was said to poises. valuable secrets.—Family Library, No. XXIV., Dr. Brtu,shr's Life fl Newton.

After the L i ne has been crossed, and the south east a ind is met with, the weather soon becomes what these ingenious fellows call too intemperate, then grows too cold again; and next, off the Cal e, the latitude is too •tormy. In this alone they have sonic reason; and I have too often regretted that, oy a Royal ordinance of the King of Porermaae, the name of this mighty promontory was changed from Cabo de Turrnenros— the headland of storms, to its present spoony title. In short, this grand voyage is merely a peristrephic pano. I atria of miseries, which, if they survive, say they, it will be ham for them. Happy ! Not a whit. It is out of their nature toi be happy.
