THE 7140NbON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THY., TY %MY MORNING PAPERS, July 6, 18'2'2. • "NEW . .runts.] in the House of Lords.last night the Corn Im, - i iortation Dill went through .a Committee, • and Was ordered to'be read a third . tiine on Monday next: The House-of' Commons was engaged in the consideration of the-MiScellaneous Kstimates. In the -course.of -thenight Mr.. Arbuthnot took 67,caiion to observe that the declaration of the Chancellor of,the Exchequer with respect to the financial arrangements of next year.had been greatly misrepresented. The Right Honourable Gentleinan, instead of Saying that no other re ductiens•could take Place, had stated that even in the most unfavourable . point•of view, suppos ing no further dimithition of expenditure, the revenue would be sufficient next year to form a Sinking Fund to"the amount Mentioned by him. [THE TliVi ES:3 The COrn-Bill, it will be Seen, passed through its second reading last night in . the House of Lords, and isto be read a third time on Monday. Several noble Lords ohjectekto the passing of the Bill during this Session. We can only hope, from a sincere wish for the general welfare, as opposed to and swallowing up that of any sepa rate class, that the provisions of this Bill may never be broUght into operation ; for, in 4 spite of all chicane and cavil, bread at a high price, which in Other words is but a-modified- famine, inflicts great suffering, atid'to legislate for that purpose is any thing but an humane or just' proceeding. As to the sufferings of what are called the country gentlereen, any part of those sufferings which may have resulted from -the necessity of defend ing ourselves against the foreign enemy, would inspire regret : but the truth is, that the 'country gentlemen are ruined by domestic extra vagance,- which none were so . ready to encourage and sanction as - themselves. They should have thought of these days when they were voting impunity to the authors and executors of the ruinous Walcheren- expedition ; when, instead of one, "they were- establishing three Courts, with all their appendages of Civil Lists, Privy Purses, Lords -and Gentlemen in Waiting—a- Court for the King, a Court' for the Queen,.a . COurt for the Regent : ten thousand -a year to " the Duke of York for visiting his Father! All manner . of places and peffsiens. in every department of State, les't the Crown should lose its just influence:7-- Very-just intlueriCe - , to be sure! It is at once childish and unjtift'in atiy'rnan, who has Voted away his property in these rascally extrav'a gancies,- to complain now, and to attempt to throw the burden' upon the honest' industrious poor of the realm, by raising . the price . .of the .bread which they must eat, or for want of which they must" die. DtoRNINo POST.] In the House of Commons, last night, Sir James Mackintbsit'Put a question to the Marquis' , oaf Londonderry on a'subject of much public im portance, and which we,-therefore, bring before -our readers in this place. The Himont - id Learned 'Wilber inquired whether the Russian Ukase, appropriating the North-Pacific Ocean, above the 51st degree of latitade,.tO 'Russia, 'and - interdict ing-the navigation of that .sea by foreign vessels within 1001talitin miles of the coast, had been coMmunicated-tO this Government ? And if so, whether any steps 'had been taken in conse -quence? His particular object in requesting an these - .'qiieries was to afford information `tb certain persons now ;fitting out vessels in the Port of London, to-trade in that part of the ocean already specified. The Marquis. of -Lon donderry replied, that the Official Document to.had -been received by his Majesty's inisters, and that immediately_ after a Note. was forwarded to the RuSSian Ambassador, stat ing that this Government could neither acknowr ledge the territorial claiMs advanced therein,by Riissi4 nor the maritime principle on which it was made. It was p however, proposed at -the same time, that an amicable, nego . Ciation should be set on foot, 'With the 'View :of arriving at a conclusion mutually satisfactory, and tat in the mean time the rights of British subjects Aould femain and be Observed exactly ,as theywere previ ously to the issuing of the ,Ukase. We 'under stood his :Lordship to intimate . :that . this "pro .posal had been acceded to, and of Course' that a negociation on the foregoing terms is now in progress. When the Hotise went into a Com -mittee of Supply, agreeably 'to. the Order of the. Day, Mi. Arbuthnot moved 'that a sum of 700,009/. should" be granted for the Army Ex itacirdinaries. Thelllight Hon; Gentleman stated, that last year'otie Million was voted for:this ser vice, and explained how the saving of the .differ 'ince has been effected. Mr. Hume imlnediately. 'rose; and proceiled 'at his accustomed 'rate with -one of his crude farragoes of figures and blun ders. We 'have not 'time' to notice the subject particularly to-day, lint beg the attention of 'our Readers to' the satisfactory speeches of Mr. Wilmot and Mr. Arliuthnot in reply to, or rather refutation . of, the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. .The sOlektri dullness with which Mr.:Hume wriggled round the .globe in search of something to' cavil at in eur Colonies, and the perverse sto lidity-With'which lie travelled and re-travelled, over subjects which he.. had three or four times previously brought before, the 'Hope this Ses sion, gives a very co'rr'ect notion Of his 'States qualifiCations, and of the Or-poses 'to `Which they are so loquaciously' devoted. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] bane to. call the attention of our Readers to a Letter from a GreekMel-Chant at Leghorn— gee THE SUN of this- day) - -to his friend in this : Metropolis, :giving an account of the : late scenes at,Scjo,,obtained from two of the survivors. ."We have in our French extracts given another letter, on the same subject from Smyrna.--. These Letters. speak for themselves ;. they require no comment 'from us. Callous .indeed must the heart of that man be who can read these letters unmoved.—, Otte reflection suggests itseir on 'this , Gem- Sidn. We see these -thArttinate exiles, ob-. tainjug, a passfige in an AtiStrian ship• of war, - for ..Liekhofri; Sciois had already found refuge. Others have beeu eon veyea in Austrian ships,to 'frieste. Is it not re markable that they should'find an asyldm in the Atf4trian and'Papal- dominions, and yet. be un able to find one among their own brethren of the lonian Islands, connected with them by the ties -of blood, language, and religion ? English vessels off SCiO, acting according to instructions no doubt (for nothing could be more distressing• to the feelings of gallant men), refused to receive- on board the survivors of the massacre who wished to escape. What a_comment these black transac tions at Scio form on the negociations with the Turks. The. Sciots had done nothing to incur the resentment of the Porte. They had not taken up arms along with the rest of their countrymen—they had even contributed largely to the war against them,'and yet in spite of all these circumstances, while the Powers of Europe are pluming them selves on the impression they have made at Con stantinople, we see them avail themselves of the pretext of an invasion of the Samiots, winch the Sciots were unable to prevent, to exterminate the population and convert this garden of the East into a wilderness. Is it not a'mockery to talk of.negociating with such a people ? These dastardly and ruthless ruffians went to Scio be cause it was rich and defenceless, and they .had already 3,000 men in garrison there. They.knew better than to attempt Samos, or any of the islands which were armed and prepared for them. DRI . TISH PRESS.] _ . Last" night in the Rouse of Lords Earl Bathurst, in the absence of the Earl of Liverpool.from in disposition, brought forward the. Corn Importa tion Bill. Lord Erskine opposed it, and moved that it be committed on that day three months. A debate. ensued, and on the division there ap peared a majority of 37 to 19 in favour of the . Bill, which. afterwards went through the Corn- . mittee, and the third reading was fixed for Mon day next. [MORNING HERALD.] Wednesday's Paris Tapers arrived last night by express. They contain, as usual, conflicting, and for the r..tost part palpably false, accounts from Spain. It may be collected from these different representat'ons of the attempts to coun ter-revolutionize Spain, that Navarre is the chief seat of relfellion—a circumstance which of itself casts suspicion on the French authorities. It appears even beyond a doubt, that when the In- , surgent bands are dispersed within the Spanish territory, they seek refug e by crossing into the territory of France- - wh ere they rally, provide 'themselves with arms, and again enter Spain, and raise the standard of rebellion. Their es cape back into Spain is said to be clandestine. But i-t can hardly be otherwise than by connivance —and the French Ministerial papers almost openly assert, that " putting down the rebellion" in Spain is necessary to the establishment of order in Europe. How is it that nearly 2,000 armed Spaniards, either refugees or recruited porters in the French frontier districts, could pass- the frontier otherwise than by connivance .? It is not for .nothing that the Spaniards have itrengtheued their frontier line ; and now it is, stated that the Government of Spain is about to take the additional precaution of interdicting all intercourse with France, except by the passage of Iron. It cannot, however, be the object of the French Government to provoke a war. Is it to be supposed that France, or Europe, after such .a struggle to avert a war, in the Est, would rashly plunge into, or permit a war of tyrannical ag gression upon Spain—a country on the frontier of France—in contact ,with European civiliza tion—and for a cause which would wake into action that mass of revolutionary, principle and passion, of which the Continental Governments are so much afraid„? No; the French Govern ment, however disposed, dare not_provoke a war with Spain ; and any connivance or facility in favour 'of the Spanish insurgents, is but the little underhand policy of a party— " I ,Villing to wound, but yet afraid to strike." But it appearS, even from one of the French Ministerial Jotirnals.---the Journal des Debuts, that. ruin was, by the last accounts; impending over " the Arniy,of the Faith" in Navarre—for it was so surrounded .by .General Lopez Banos, as to be- cut off from the usual retreat into France. • Owing to the torrent of rain that fell over the . Metropolis yesterday morning, the great sewer which passes through the Green Park was blown up, and a large space of ground, near Bucking ham House, was,inundated. The new aqueduct, also, now constructing in Pimlico, was consider ably damaged by the immense rush of water, in its way from Marylepone to the Thames. GAME LAWs.—Allowing for the difference of population, it appears that nearly as great a number of persons are thrown into prisons in England for offences against the Game LaWs alone, as in France for all manner Of crimes and offences.--In the return to Parliament, the commitments under, these laws, in 'England, exclusive of Wales, are stated to have been, in 1816, 858 ; 1817, 1147 ; 1818, In? ; 1819, 1240 ; 1820, 1467 ; up to the Ist of Feb. 1821,, 372. IMPROVEMENT IN THE CULTURE OF POTATOES. —A Correspondent has requested us to insert the following :—. " The first year,:(he says,) I cut the potatoes in three pieces, the top, the middle, and the bottom parts, suppose every per son knows the top of the potatoe from the bottom, . as the prin. ciPal eyes are on the top,) and planted these in three rows. The top was ten days earlier than the middle plant„orid inuch l greater crop i the Middle plant ,was earlier than the bottom and a better crop : the bottoln produced a very indifferetitero_p. For some seasons past I have only planted the top eyes, and I may safely Sayl have' the best erop and driest pbtatoes in the' country. None need be deterred from this plan on the ground of waste; tin after the top is cut off, the remainder keeps better than en-. tire. A stproof Of this,: lay a whole • liotatoe on the top of the ground, or in' any exposed place, and it Will show, that the top plants grow faster, and are many inches long, before.there is , any rowth frOm the bottom."—(American Farmer.)

To FRANCIS FREELING, Esq:Secretary of the Post-Office, LOndoii. SIR-With the full conviction that:you have at all times readily attended to suggestions likely to pr9mote public convenience in regard to the Mail Packets, and the arrangements connected wi t h the prompt conveyance and delivery of the Mails, I feel no hesitation in expressing my surprise that the Mail from Ostend should still continue to be forwarded by way of Dover, instead of Rams- gate. Unconnected with either one place or the other, I have only to call your unbiassed consi deration to advantages .in favour of the Ostend Mails being transmitted by Ramsgate in. prefe rence to Dover, in which every person acquainted the local claims of each,, and whom have consulted, coincide, and whose opinions are borne out by the evidence of facts, constantly occurring, when it blows fresh from the. 'West and South- West ; the last instance was only this day,when his:Majesty's packet, with the Ostend Mail, not being enabled to weather the Goodwin Sand, with the wind from the South West, came to lee ward of it, round the North Sand. Head, and then beat over a lee tide into the Downs, where she anchored,: and the Mail .landed here about eleven, A. it.—The packet remains here, and as the wind is at. present, she cannot .get. into Dover Harbour until next tide. Now it is quite clear that this vessel could have landed the Mail and Passengers, and entered Ramsgate Harbour . by eight or nine o'clock this morning, whereas she cannot arrive off and ,enter that of Dover un til twelve or fourteen hours later. In gales of wind, during the winter season, the packet from Ramsgate would fetch Ostend, with the wind from the North East by E., when that would from Dover be a- beating wind, and vice., versa, the packet front Ostend could fetch the North Foreland with a wind that Would not per mit a vessel to fetch the South Foreland and Dover. , • Independently of this, the Mail and Passen-' gers could get into Ramsgate, at low water, night' or day, which is impossible at Dover, even if the' packet could fetch theßoads ; the difference of distance is trifling, about 5 or 6 miles, but the facility,of attaining Ramsgate, and getting into, the Harbour at all times, is .olthe last importance. Another consideration is also to be noticed, that in the 'passage to and from' Ostend, by way of . Ramsgate, there is less risk, as the dangerous pas sage bet Wee n -the outer part of the Goodwin Sands and the-Flemish Banks is . avoided. know not what influence Dover may possess over Rams - - - gate, with-his Majesty's Government, nor that of the Proprietors of the Post office Packets, whose inclination must naturally lead them to 'prefer their own town, but 1 would respect-' fully call - upon. yen, Sir, to consult Nautical-men, -on 'a subject of 'serious consequence to the Com merCial world, and particularly those who have . ,no connexion with either Ramsgate, Dover, or' the -Proprietors of the Post-office Packets, fled that 'with such there Will be but one opinion :of the propriety of Preferring the former, in point of sitnatien, access at all tithes,. diminution of distance and sea risk' and the greater certainty of saving water into- Ostend Harbour from "Rains gate than froth Dover. Reference to . the logs of the 'Post-office Packets for' the 'last six months would prove the fre quency of their beingtornpelled to come into the Downs, - and land the mail at Deal, when they could more easily ljave gone to-Ramsgate, and I could refer- . to a worthy Alderman * and M.P. who Janded . here after his .excursion to Stade, from the PoSt- . olTiCe'Mail Packet, exposed to a treMendons surf on Deal beach, which might have been ,avoided, if the Commander of the packet had condescended to - run for Ramsgate, I am - Sir,.-;---Your very humble servant, Deal, July 5, MI VERAX. * Mr. Alderman Wood. True bills for a. conspiracy were yesterday found by the Grand Jury, of. Middlesex against. Gook, Harrison, and Connell, three of the. per sons ,on whose accusation THOMAS JAY, the helper in .the King's stables, was recently tried at the Old ,Bailey, a n d acquitted of the charge of picking a gentleman's .pocket of a gold watch, &c. on the night the KING -went to Drury-lane. Theatre. Mr. Ex-Sheriff PaukiNs, was the principal. party in preferring the bill of in. dictment against these persons. We under stand that there are .at this moment bills, of, indictment, some of which have been already found, against no less than 16 persons before the Grand Jury of.lVilddlesex, all preferred by one or more of this trio. The Ex-Sheriff' PARKINS has acted most meritoriously in bringing this vile business to light.—Gook is not connected with Bow-street, or any of the police establishments, but -is merely a substitute constable of St. James's parish, hired by a housekeeper to avoid serving, the office. The other two were in no way con nected with the police,:but were friends of Gook. GENEROUS. DEVOTION.--TIIC generous self-de . votion of RoDnicitc. MACKENZ4E has been often recited. — This young man, who had sought concealment among the mountains of Ross-shire, after the battle of Culloden, was sur prised by a party of the soldiers sent, in• pursuit of Charles Ed ward. His age, his figure, his air even deceived the military so conwletely, that they were going to secure him in the belief that they had at length •got hold of the .Prince. Mackenzie perceived their mistake s and with' teat fortitude and presence of mind, instantly resolved to render it useful to his master. He drew his sword ; and the courage with which he defended _himself satisfied the soldiers that - he - could be no other than:the , Pretender. One of them fired at him ; Mackenzie fell,. and with his last breath, exclaimed, " You have killed your Prince!" This generous sacrifice suspended'for the present all pursuit, and afforded an opportunity for the unfortunate. Charles to escape from the hands of his enernies.---It is well' known,that Kennedy, who repeatedly exposed his life to save that of the Prince just named, and who, though mean and poor, despised_ the reward of 30,0001. which was:offered for the per son, dead or alive; of the Royal fugitive, was afterwards hang ed at Inverness for stealing a cow. A little before his execu-, tion he pulled off his honnet, ,and rendered hearty thanks to, GOD for that " he had never proved false to en engagement of any kind ; that he had never injured a poor man ; and never' refused to share whatever he had with the indigent and the stranger." TO CLEANSE THE EETH, AND IMPROVE THE BREATIL.—To four ounces of fresh prepared Hine water, add One drachm Of Peruvian Clark, and wash the teeth with the water in the morning before breakfast, : and after supper. It will effe'citiplly destroy . the tartar on the teeth, and remove the offensive smell 'arising from these - decayecl.---(American' Pap:7.) DOCTOR. WATSON. The following Letter is worthy attention, as shewing the miserable state of destitution into which the Radicals suffer their most zealous par tizans to fall. Doctor WATSON is represented as a man of some ability in his profession. He was, as our Readers must remember, at one time, ar rested and sent to gaol for the expense of a public dinner given to HUNT, who basely suffered him to bear the loss. It would seem that he' has not since met with greater gratitude from his party. To JOHN ATKnis, Esq. one of the Aldermen of the City of London. Sin—l have received a summons signed by yourself to at tend you or such other of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace as shall be present this day at the Lord Mayor's Justice Room, Mansion-House, to shew cause why I have not paid a certain rate or assessment of Bs. Bd. for defraying the expences of the Churchwardens ' William Boyer and Jesse Baker, of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. _ Being profesionally engaged, I have it not in my power to attend—therefore beg to state by letter that the cause why the said rate has not been paid has been (small as it is) my total inability at present to do -so, entirely owing to the great diffi culties of the times, and the inability of other persons to pay me adequately for my attendance. _ _ If measure . i'of extremity are adopted, I must bow, at pre sent,' like tens of thousands of my forlorn countrymen, to my fate, under the hope that some favourable crisis ere long will produce a change in the state of affairs which will screen un merited destitution from increased misery.—l am, Sir, one of the oppressed people of England, JAMES 'WATSON. 4, Greystoke-place, July 5, 1822. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S 13ENtil, JULY S. • GILLIAT V. RANKIN. This was an action to recover damages for a breach of con.. tract, in not accepting a quantity of tobacco which the defend ant had agreed to bu,y of the plaintiff. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. MARRYAT, and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the plaintiff; and Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. GASELEE, and Mr. MutAims were for the defendant. The contract, which was made on the 29th December last, was for 219' hogsheads of tobacco. It did not express any war ranty as to the quality, but the defence was that the defendant had been induced to enter into the contract upon a,representa tion that the tobacco was of the best, rich, and dark quality, which it. was not, as was proved by several witnesses, and the question was whether the plaintiff had in fact given any war ranty as to quality. Several witnesses were examined on both sides as to this issue, who gave contradictory testimony. The Jury, after hearing the Learned Judge's summing up, retired for about an hour, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff---the damages to be referred to arbitration. CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 5. DIVORCE.--ALLIDICE V. ALLIDICE. This was a suit of divorce promoted by Mr. Allidice, who was surgeon of a King's Regiment in India, againit Dorothy, his wife, for adulteiy, committed by her in this country, with Alexander Hugh'Johnson, a Captain of Native Infantry, in the service of the East India Company, during the absence of the husband in India. The facts of the case have already been before the public.—The COVRT pronounced sentence of divorce. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT NEWGATE. At the' last April Sessions held at the Old Bailey, a young female was convicted upon an indictment charging her with having stolen a shawl, the property of one Ann Moreton, and sentenced to transportation. Up to the 15th of last month she remained in prison, in daily expectation of being sent off with the large batch of convicts under condeni nation, to the destined abode of those whose case admitted of commutation from capital punishment. On that day her fa ther and her mother, and a young man who has been attached to her for some time; waited upon Mr. Wontner, the Governor of Newgate, and assured him in the most earnest manner that they had undeniable evidence of her innocence, and a strong proof of the crime of perjury upon the part of the accuser. After a long and strict investigation bythe late Sheriffs, they became . so 'satisfied Of the innocence of the woman , and the guilt of her ac cuser, that on the 18th June they waited on Mr. Peel with the do- Cuments to prove it, which they then presented; and on the 19th a full pardon was transmitted to Newgate. But amongst those papers was one 'of a singular nature, and which had the effect of producing a very remarkable termination to the case. The. yoUng man whowas attached' to the accused; and ' who seconded the efforts of the parent's in their application for justice or mercy —this persor, who is a respectable market salesman, thought the best way to act upon this occasion, was to direct to the Se-.' cretary a letter, describing the state of his heart, declaring that before the crime was at all spoken .of, or thought, of by any body, he had determined to marry the girl ; and that, so firmly Convinced was he of ,her innocence, he was ready, to put that intention into effect, in the. presence of his Majesty's Mini sters, if they would be pleased to grant her a pardon, and de liVer her over to be incarcerated in his arms. Whether this do cument operated in producing so quick an answer to the appli cition. of the parents, it is difficult to say; but it is certain that the case received an attention, which reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Peel, as as upon the Sheriffs, who sincerely hoped that the thing would end in matrimony. It was soon found that the salesman had been upon terms of such intimacy with the girl, as rendered it very. probable that in the bliss of meeting once more, all thoughts of the ceremony necessary to sanction the continuance of their acquaintance would be dropped; and, it was conidered but fair that, as he had become master of her person by a manoeuvre; something might be done to make her even with him, by giving her 'an unanswer able claim upon his protection. To accomplish this purpose, the consequences of the application were concealed, but a mutual friend assured the salesman that the - King had given a favourable answer, and that a full pardon might 'be calculated upon if the young wen - lan's name became lawfully changed" to that of her lover. This suggestion was not met quite so warmly as' was expected by some ; but an interview having taken place between those most deeply. concerned, the case was at once determined to be referred to the Rector of St. Botolnli,- Ald gate. It was eleven o'clock in - -the forenoon when the sales divan resolved to purchase a licence. Twenty minutes - elapsed in procuring it at Doctors' Commons, and' the utmost haste was necessary, as tilt ceremony could not be performed af ter twelve. Mr. Wontner, however, took care to have a coach in readiness, and 'Dr. Cotton, who was delighted at the prospect of a - conclusion so unlike those he had been accus tomed to witness, determined, if any obstacle presented itself, to perform the ceremony himself. They reached the church five minutes before The awful' hour ; but to the distraction of the in fended bride, Mr. Hatt, the Rector, was from home, and the clerk of the parish positively refuSed to allow any one to of ficiate in his place without his permission. The poor girl bitterly felt the disappointment, but the salesman bore it too stoically to give much pleasure to Dr. Cotton or the Governor; who took back the voting woman to the prison to wait for the hour of solemnikation next day. The salesman was warmly invited to remain under the same roof with her, and - the affair was so well managed that they became man and wife the next morning, without knowing_ any thing of the pardon. On leaving the church, the 'happy couple desired the coach pan to driye to Newgate, where they supposed they were to wait the Secretary's answer ; but they were astonished, at being told that they could no longer be admitted to the pri son,; and the salesman was mute with surprise on being pre sented with his wife's, pardon, which had been granted two days before he married her. As soon as those facts were known to the prisoners in Newgate, there were above twenty petitions presented in one day to Mr. Wontner, from men who offered to marry upon the same conditions the same number of women now under sentence. . . MONMOUTH WOOL FAlR.—This respectable mart was held on Wednesday se'nnight ; and 'we notice it in a particular mariner, as giving the tone in price to that of suc ceeding fairs, for that -purpose, in the surrounding district. — There was a, good supply on sale, which produced 'for the best sorts froth 16s. to 175., per stone of 12A1b,, ; coarse ditto from 12s. to 12s. 6d. of the same weight. Tbere was a considerable portion of it sold on that ' day, and more on the succeeding morning, when what remained on hand was taken to Colford ; at which place, on'the '2oth inst.' the prices were'very near if not quite the same as at :-Monmouth ; some.few verrprime forest - wool brought 21s. 6d. per stone, but the quantity was not very large. _ _ UNEXFECTED DISCOVERY.—A few days since, Mrs. Motley, broker, Bedford-s'reet, North Shields, purchased an old'mattress for 2s. from a ship-owner, who was going to re side with his daughter : in arranging some papers last week, he found a document in the hand writing of his deceased wife, not intended for his perusal , but that of her son. by a former husband, in which it was stated that property to a con siderable amount - was deposited in the said mattress. His daughter in consequence waited on Mrs. Motley, and offered her a few shillings to returint. Mrs. M. naturally supposed that this i seeming generosity was not without, a cause, but hay ‘ing sild t' to 'a'lllrs.'Hill 'for 3s. for a small 'tOnsideratidn, she regained possession of the prize.._ ROUSE: • . There are recollections connected with this hOuse, nhich are peculiarly calculated to produce feelings of sympathy and regret in the public mind. But a comparatively short period has elapsed - since this splendid property, came into the possession of Miss LONG, in right of her fa ther, the late Sir JAMES TILNEY LONG. After a long minority, Miss Long at once burst upon the fashionable, horizon, as one of the richest heiresses in the kingdom. It is needless to say that, for such a prize, the competitors were as numerous as they were various. Indeed, we believe, that royalty itself did . not hesitate to offer its adora tions at the golden shrine. It was, at length, under . stood that . Mr. Wm. Wellesley Pole, son of the present Lord Maryborough, was the favoured suitor, and preparations for the marriage set all doubts at rest.—The magnificence of the wedding festival—the incredible richness of the bridal dresses—the matchless brilliancy of jeWels which were displayed on that occasion, were topics 9.i general astonishinent . It is not our intention here to pursue the course of the happy bridegroom through his,subsequent headlong career : it is suf.' ficient to say, that in a few short years, from being placed on an elevation which was the envy of his companions, and from being put in posses. sion of an income,, far' beyond- the wants of the most princely establishment,, if conducted witl l any ordinary prudence, he. has been redUced to live upon Mrs. Wellesley's jointure; which, We believe, is 7,0001. per annum; and forced to fly his country to avoid the consequences of debt. For the last three years every effort has been made to bring 'the creditors of Mr. Wellesley to some sort of compromise, and the sale of the effects at Wanstead has been, at length, although reluct antly, determined on, as the only means of ad. justing their - Claims. We understand. Mrs. Wel lesley is at present residing with her husband in France. The sacrifice which is now made; it / 5 expected, will enable them to return to this country. We believe there are three children, issue of their marriage, 'and his present Majesty is sponsor for the eldest. To an unfortunat e passion for that most destructive of all habits, gambling,' is to lie ascribed the.wreck of this splendid property. The fate of Wanstead House reminds - tn . ' - ef that which befel the.magnificent seat of the late Mr. G. Page, atWrinklemarsh, on the westernsid:' of Blackheath.
