To SHIP-OWNERS and CAPTAINS. IPHE Superior Advantage, both to SAILS and -IL STORES, of Prepared low-priced Brown Canvas, over the expensive Coker sorts, is fully proved by the following Letter : Eden West India Docks, March 26th, 1822. GENTLEMEN,-In March 1621, you prepared some Scotch Canvas of rather an inferior quality for the brig Eden, under my command.—l hail a quarter deck awning made of part of it, which was hauled out occasionally on the passage to Ja maica; likewise four weeks at Kingston, and at the Havan hah for near seven months ; during the latter period we ex perienced very considerable changes of weather. The awn ing is in a good state, and I have no doubt will yet last seve ral voyages. During the whole time at the Havannah it was furled thrice for a few hours only. Part of the time, near taun mouths, a lower studsail of Co ker canvas, new on leaving England, was used as a main fleck awning, when it was found one mass of mildew, and so rotten as to be totally unfit for service. I forward a piece of each, with my seal annexed, for your inspection, and beg you will make what use you think proper of it. I likewise forward a piece of one of your prepared bolts, which by sonic accident g-ot wet through seven or eight folds, and was not discovered till quite dry, when I made a lower studsail of it, which has been used the passage home, and is perfectly good. Any o►her canvas, I think, would have been, under similar circumstances, totally useless. Wishing you every success which your discovery merits, I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) W. U. .EDDIS. To Messrs. Brow•ell & Co. COUNTY FIRE OFFICE.—The MANA.• GEUS of the NETV NORWICII UNION' FIRE OFFICE having, in the ex-planation which they have at length pub lished, " of the change which has taken place in the principle" of their Insurance Business, thought fit to complain of the at tacks which they have -suffered, and particularly of the view which the County fire Office has taken of their conduct, some notice of their advertiSement may. be necessary. The Members of. the County Fire Office had no intention to exult in the " great distress, peril, losses, and differences," so pathetically pleaded in Chancery by the Norwich Insurance Managers,, in defending themselves against a charge of fraud, and in justification of their acts _in breaking up the late Nor wich Union Society—still less did they mean to find fault with the principle of their New Insurance Company, which, being an imitation of the plan of the County Fire Office, is flattering to its Members; but they have deprecated, and they do most emphatically condemn, the unfairness-, not to say dishonesty, with - which the.advantages, real or pretended, of the dissolved Norwich Union Society are quoted for a course of years, and are now advertised and foisted on the public as benefits which have been.. conferzed by the New Com,pany, not yet seven months old ; they assert the right of warningthe public against :this.delusion, so long as it shall continue to be practised. The Managers of the New Norwich Office advertise with an. air of equal benignity anctstatelinesS, that they are " disposed to act with a liberal and friendly feeling toward other. Offices," and comment on the fair and liberal course which should mark the conduct of all public bodies." A liberal and friendly feeling does subsist between. the Insurance Offices generally. If the feeling toward the Norwich Insurers form an exception, may not the reason of it be found in their successive attacks on every respectable establishment, their personal abuse of all who question their proceedings or designs, and their gross misre presentationS of facts ! The sincerity of the professed commen dation of 44 a. fair and liberal course" the public may judge of, when replies shall . be given to the following questions ; they have been in the Newspapers some days, but are not yet answered : Ist. If it be true, that the Norwich Union Society increased so w:mderfully last year, as it pretende&—that it had in hand the hundreds of thousands advertised—what, in the name of wonder ! was the consideration that induced Mr. BIGNOLD to break up such a Society, unknown to the Trustees and to the Members generally, and silently to turn them all over to a Nor wich Joint Stock Company ? 2d. if it be false—will not the public tire of such tricks ? 3d. Whether true or false—why are the advantages of the dissolved mutual Assurance Society quoted for many years back, and advertised as benefits conferred by the Norwich Joint Stock Company, which has not been seven months in existence, unless to deceive the Public ! A MEMBER of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE. P.S.—lt is now discovered that the increase of duty paid by the Norwich Union Office last year, which has been so much boasted of, was produced by the transfer of the business of that Office to the Old Norwich Office, so that the amount was for the Members of both Offices. ARITHMETICAL DIFFICULTIES.- Mr. BEAUMONT, under the signature of A PLAIN DEALER, (oh ! appropriate and happy title!) attempts to an swer (no, I beg pardon, to evade) my plain query, which I must request leave to repeat, viz :—How the increase of busi ness in the County Office, amounting in duty to less than Four teen Hundred Pounds, could be greater than that of the Nor wich Union, amounting to above Fifteen Thousand ? This perplexing inquiry Mr. Beaumont endeavours to meet with something about my attempting to be witty • whether this is a suffici en t re pl y , th e pu bli c w ill ju d ge . The simple facts are, that Mr. B. has continually advertised his Office to be in creasing faster than any other, whilst he knows that the increase of the Norwich Union far exceeds that of the County • and knows that thi s i s th e cause o f hi s v i ru l ent attac k s on t h e Insti tution he envies. • Whether the Shareholders in the County will consent to pay the enormous expence of these attacks, remains to be .seen.— 'Though it must be confessed that the power of the Managing Director is understood to be pretty nearly despotic—and that as Rome was once said to be governed by " Julius Caesar," so the County Office is generally believed to be under the joint and uncontrolled authority of Messrs. " John," and " Thomas," and " Barber" and Beaumont 1" Avery ample and doubtless efficient Directory. The questions which the above Board, under the signature of A Plain Dealer, please to put to Mr. Bignold, he could very easily answer ; but I suspect he will not, as it becomes rather irksome even to chastise an individual, who can advertise in the Newspapers private Letters not addressed to himself. . - As to his P. S. about the County Office " making a canvas throughout the Kingdom," I shall merely refer the Public to the following N. B. or P. S. annexed to the Circulars issued by that Office in August, 1821 : " Vow will be personally waited on in a few days to know whether it is your peasure to insure with either of the above Associations ! ! !" Query.—As Mr. Beaumont says—" Will not the Public tire of such tricks ?" COCKER. DR. CHARD'S GRAND MASONIC ODE. This Day was published, price 3s.

THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, April 6, 1822. [NEW TIMES.I We this day present our Readers with a most gratifying statement—that of the Revenue of Great Britain for the last Quarter.—(Seb an other part of Our Paper.)—lt will be found that the produce of the Quarter presents an increase of no less a sum than Four Hundred and Twenty eight Thousand, Nine Hundred and Sixty Pounds! Upon the year the increase is One Million, Two Hundred and Sixty-one Thousand, Two Htmdred and Thirty-five Pounds ! After all the complaints of distress (many of them but too well founded) from the agricultural portion of our population, it is most .tisfactory to, per ceive that. the other interests of the country are so flourishing as to present these extraordinary re sults. The only decrease of any consequence is to be found under the heads of Post Office and As sessed Taxes, the former being deficient in the quar ter 30,0001., the latter not quite 10,0001.; whereas, in the great branches of Revenue, there is an in crease in the quarter of nearly half a million.— The Customs have improved above 190,0001., and we must remark, that that improvement is steady ; for every quarter of the last twelve months has exhibited a similar result, and the sum of the whole amounts in the year to 749,2401. — The produce of the Excise has been increasing (as compared with the corresponding periods of the former twelvemonth) for the last three quar ters. In the quarter just terminated, the improve ment, after deducting the decrease on certain articles, amounts to 149,208/. ; and we under stand that the Excise on Malt and Beer alone amounted to 996,1311., being an increase on the corresponding quarter of 172,5561.—The Stamps also have increased 114,5471. on the quarter.—lf we look to the Consolidated Fund, we shall find it exhibiting a surplus of income to the amount of above a million and a half ! The total charge was 9,600,0001. and the total income 11,154,5691.; the consequence of which is that the deficiency of the Fund to be provided for by an issue of 'Exchequer Bills, is reduced from 8,921,3031. to 7,366.734/.—Upon the whole, we must repeat that such a statement of revenue, at such a time as the present, is most gratifying ; inasmuch as it serves to prove that the home market, on which the Agriculturist must rely for essential relief, is still rich in resources, and capable of eventually restoring him to his former ease and comfort. [THE TIMES.] Among the last year's payments from the Droits of Amiralty, charged in the official account, there is a lumping sum of 40,0001. handed over " to " W. Cotton, Esq. of the Treasury, towards de " fraying the expense of his Majesty's late jour " ney to Ireland, and residence there." Without the most remote desire on our part to dim the becoming splendour of the Court, much less to abridge the Royal comforts, or indiscreetly to pry into the recesses of the Hoe • hold, we must, with all deference, declare our opinion, that, looking at the work done, or at the manner in which it was done, 40,0001. must be considered a great deal of money. The expenses of the expedition, or much the larger share of them, —viz. those of the squadron out and ho-me— are a fit subject for the naval estimates, and there ought to have been emblazoned.— The King resided not quite a month in Ireland, rent free. While expellees for his Royal table, &:c., were incurred at or near Dublin, they ceased altogether at Brighton and in London.— We once more disclaim every wish to speak in dividiously, but a few particulars, by way of vouchers for this charge, would spew good taste on one side of the House of Commons ; other ise a demand for them ought to be made, and could scarcely be called ungracious, on the other. It is obvious, moreover, by the account itself, that Droits of Admiralty are DOW held to be (which they unquestionably are) public money, and open to the inspection and fair control of Parliament. If, indeed, the cost of the Irish visit had been contrasted, not with the benefits really received, ,but with those which the politi cians or prophets of Ireland (for most of her po liticians then turned prophets) anticipated from it, there never undoubtedly was less reason to fall out with the price of any such article.— All differences reconciled ! all wrongs for given ! all grievances obliterated—nay, trans formed to blessings! Eternal harmony ! bound less prosperity ! Crime and suffering, even folly, at an end ! For miracles like these, and for the worker of them, who would grudge forty thousand pounds, or forty times forty thousand Alas ! the bright spectacle has vanished. We have nought on record but the metamorphosis of demagogues and party minions into fawning slaves. History, and common sense, and national dignity were laid aside ; and the fancy was ran sacked, and , bombast exhausted, for Materials of unmanly adulation. Ireland soon became more wretched than ever, and she still remains so. In spite of strong laws, and an active Government, her hungry and half civilized people are laying the axe to the root of both. Bow much more effective would have been the' application of the whole Droits of Admiralty to the purchase of meal and potatoes, towards softening the misery of a bad harvest, for the poor of Munster, than this sacrifice of so large a portion of the fund for a month of locomotion, and a two days' pageant ! [BRITISH PRESS.] The account of the Revenue for the quarter which closed yesterday has been made up at the Treasury, and the result, we are assured, presents an increase in the ►eceipts of more than 400,0001. in comparison with the corresponding quarter of the last year. We hope very sincerely that the official accounts will confirm this statement. The account of the Revenue for the quarter which ended the sth of April, 1821, was not very flatter ing ; it presented a decrease of about 150,000/. as compared with the corresponding quarter in the year 1820. The total produce of the Re venue for the quarter which ended April 5, 1821. was 10,468,196/. Should the increase in the last quarter be so considerable as has been stated, the total receipts amount to nearly 10,900,000/. ►`his is au enormous sum of money to be raised in a country where distress so generally prevails among the proprie tors and cultivators of the soil, and must be con sidered as equal in value to at least thirteen millions of the depreciated currency which cir culated in the years 1813 and 1814. The amount proves the feasibility of extending to the people the relief which is sought to be derived from the abolition of the salt tax, without deranging the financial views that are entertained by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The late Irish Papers bring us a report of a Charge delivered by Judge Fletcher at the late Cavan Assizes. It contains some valuable observations on the evils engendered by the illicit distillation which flourishes under-the existing Revenue Laws ; upon this subject, however, little difference of sentiment exists; the most important part of the Charge is that in which the extraordinary system of fabrication and exagge ration that has prevailed during the commotions in the south of Ireland is adverted to ; there is also some reference to the accession of Lord Wellesley to the Government of Ireland, and some expectations of its operation in extinguish ing party-spirit expressed. We should be very loth to renounce all . _ participation in the Learned Judge's hopes, but we cannot forget that Lord Wellesley is not the sole depository of power in Ireland; there are offices with the admi nistration of which the tranquillity and happiness of the country are even more intimately connected than with the dispositions of the individual who may ostensibly hold the first place in the Govern ment. The question, perhaps, most directly and immediately important is the state of the Magistracy : now it rests altogether with Lord Manners, the Chancellor, and however excel lent Lord Wellesley's intentions, the country can derive no benefit from them in this particular particular.—We have also the charge of Mr. Serjeant Lefroy delivered at ,Limerick. Our readers will be, no doubt, surprised to hear, on the authority of the Learned Serjeant, that the present condition of Ireland is not occasioned by the superabundance of her population, by the absenteeship of the great proprietors, by distress, by tithes, by the want of education ; but arises altogether from want of the love of God ! lie tells the Grand Jury, that they will find the whole matter explained in the Bill of Indictment. " The not having the fear of God before their eyes, but being moved and in stigated by the enemy of God and man." We might, perhaps, let Serjeant Lefroy's Charge pass unnoticed, but that we deem it a duty to express our reprobation of any thing, however colourable, which has a tendency to arrest the progress of inquiry into the calamitous situation of Ireland, and to prevent the application of such remedies as human wisdom can devise. We are quite sure that the Legislature must do some- thing, and Government a great deal, before we can reasonably complain that the poor Irish want the grace of God. Besides who does not know that the irritatio❑ produced by the unfortunate situation of the people of the South, must, so long as it exists, prevent the fear of God from having its proper influence ? [MORNING POST.] The labours of Parliament are suspended, and there is now both time and room to examine what has been their nature. The Session opened under dark and menacing aspects. The distress which prevailed amongst the cultivators of the soil in this country—the lawless outrages committed in the sister Island—the agitated state of France— and the general anxiety excited by the hostile de monstrations of Turkey and Russia, imposed on our Legislature the double duty of providing reme dies to evils existing at home, and of guarding against those which might arise abroad. _ In the short period of two months, the main part of this important task has been carried into exe cution. Measures of unbounded severity in their nature, but of limited effect in their ap plication, were passed in the very first week of the Session, and armed the new Govern ment of Ireland with powers, which the cha racter of its Chief promised should not be abused, and of which the rapid tranquilli zation of that country proves that a tem perate use has been made. We may therefore anticipate, from the general suppression of outrage and insubordination in the most disturbed Irish counties, that Parliament will not be called upon, before it is prorogued, to renew measures which are only justifiable on grounds of absolute necessity and imminent danger. The next step, after providing for the pacification of Ireland, was to ascertain the causes of the distress which afflicted the Agricultural Interest in England, and to supply the most effectual remedies. The inquiry was entrusted to a Committee on the State of Agriculture, whose active labours have already brought forth a Re port; which lays open all the intricacies of the PRICE SEVENPENCE. question, and suggestV enactments likely to be attended with salutary results. [IT:MINING HERALD.] The accounts respecting the issue of the ques tions pending between the Turks and Russian, have been so wavering and contradictory, that but little credit has lately been given even to the most Confident rumours and asseverations on the subject. There are, however, at present, strong reasons to suppose that the negocia tions are at an end, and that hostilities may be even somewhat advanced at the moment at which we write. The intelligence which has been received by commercial houses in London, and the accounts in the Continental Journals, parti 'cularly in those of Paris, are so circumstantial and coincident, all relating nearly the same thing, from various quarters, that there exists the highest probability of war. The depression of the. French Funds, which cannot otherwise be accounted for, is an incident also of strong confir matiob. Various causes are assigned for the refusal of the Turkish Government to accede to the pacific policy recommended to it by the English and Austrian Ministers at Constantinople—such as the confidence inspired by the destruction of Ali Pacha- 7 the dread of running in the teeth of the Mussulman prejudice, which is clamorous for war—and hatred to the Russians, which is most rancorous. But the probability is, that the de mands of Russia were such at the moment, and so likely to be followed by further invasions, that the .Divan, considering the Porte must ulti mately make a stand somewhere, and at some time, has chosen to do so at present. ALI PACIIA. SEMLIN, MAncn 24,—Authentic accounts have been at length received respecting the tragical end of Ali Pacha. The following are the parti culars of this remarkable event, which are deri ved from good authority, but differ in some re spects from the accounts said to have been of ficially published by the Porte, in Belgrade and Constantinople. We see from them that the cun ning Ali was indeed deceived by the Turks, but also, that from a revived sense of the religious feelings of his youth, he wished his treasures to be in the hands of the MuSsulmen, rather than of the Greeks. The Suliots and Albanese had long since promised him assistance and deliverance from the besiegers, if he would share his treasure' with them : but Ali, who still preserved in his heart a secret inclination. towards the adherents of his own religion, thought of reconciling - himself, un perceived by the Greeks, in which his wifeWasiii kia, who had been gained over by Courschid Pa cha some months before, promised to assist him. The Suliots and Albanese, it is well known, conclu ded an agreement with Chourschid Pacha in the month of January, who promised them as a re ward of their desertion of Ali a part of his trea sures. They were induced to this by the proofs of Ali's perfidy; but from this moment Ali was ir retrievably ruined, and nothing remained for him but either to surrender by capitulation or to kill himself. The cunning Wasilikia prevailed upon him to enter intoa negociation with Chourschid, the result of which was that Chourschid swore on the Koran, and by his beard, in case AU surrender ed to spare his life. Ali fell into the snare and surrrendered to his adversary, who treated him in a friendly manner, and suffered hi n quietly to retire into a summer palace, in the Lake of Joan nina. Several days after Mehmet Pacha, the second commander of the Turkish army, proba bly secretly commissioned by Chourschid, visit ed Ali here, and endeavoured by every means he could devise to provoke the anger of the old ty rant. He abused him as a traitor to Islamism, spat in his face, and when Ali attempted to resist, he stabbed him under the protection of 26 Turks, who rushed into the room on a signal being given, and then murdered Ali's attendants.— Only his wife, Wasilikia, was spared. Thus the Turks, by their usual tactics, have rid themselves of this monster, whom they could never conquer in the field ; but we know, too, that Ali's spirit was bowed by age (he was 84 years old), other wise he would have been aware of the snare laid for him, for the annals of tyrants can pro duce no monster equal to him in cunning,artifice, or cruelty. These circumstances explain, too, the contradictions in the accounts first published respecting Ali's death. It is pretty certain that Chourschid, immediately after the surrender of his adversary by capitulation, gave orders to hasten his assassination, and made use of Mehmet Pacha for this purpose, in order not to violate the letter of the oath he had taken. Hence Chourschid caused the news of A li's ekecution to be spread at the same time with that of his surrender, and Tartars hastened to all parts of the empire with the anticipated information. In the action fought at Mongrade, East Indies, on the 21st Oct., 1821, betwixt a detachment of the 4th Light Cavalry, under Major RIDaE, and a numerous body of native troops, commanded by the Manharao in person, victory, as usual, de clared for the British ; and among the gallatit young officers whose conduct on the field attracted tile notice of the Commanding Officer, we are happy to see mentioned in the Ga:ctle the name of Lieutenant JAMES GLENCAIRN BURNS, a native of this county, and youngest son of the Poet. Those who take an interest i❑ the family of the Bard, will be pleased to learn this fact, and the more so when we assure them that Mr. BURNS, who is as good as he is brave, has ever discharg ed the duties of a son and a brother, in a manner that entitles him to the warmest regards of every real-hearted Scotsman.—(Dumfiics Courier.)
