Toetinue to restore decayed Teeth, however large or small the cavity, with their celebrated MINE RAL SUCCEDANEUM, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, ?mace, and other Continental cities; the operation of stopping decayed Teeth is performed in a few seconds; the Mineral is put into the' cavity in an almost liquid state, without pain, heat, or pressure, hardens into Enamel, allays the most excruciating pain, making a stump into a whole Tooth, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. Messrs. M. during their course of study have adopted a mode of fastening Loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, or the use of Calomel, or disease of the Gums. Incorrodible Mineral Teeth placedgf/om one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolourffition or corrosion, fixed without wires or ligatures, readers it impossible to distinguish the Artificial Teeth from the natural ones, and warranted to answer every purpose of articulation and mastication, and will be found in every respect amply competent to supply the place of their predecessors.

The foll9wing Critiques appeared among the notices of Fraser's Magazine, during . the time that the Scho o lmaster's Series were in the course of publication in that Periodical:— " Fraser, of this month, appears to us to outstrip all his con temporaries. In support of our opinion we need only refer to `the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate,' a most able ex position of the abuses in the administration of the criminal law."—Morning Herald. "In Fraser's Magazine for July, there is an article under the title of `the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate,' the second of a series, which lays bare the shocking injustice towards the poor in our criminal courts in a masterly manner."—Morning Chronicle. "'The Schoolmaster's Experiencb in Newgate' is again at the head of the very ablest papers in the number."-7'rue Sun. "A most.-important exposure, evidently the work of a sensible man, thoroughly acquainted with the workings of our vicious system in all their details, and having accurate ideas of the necessary improvements."—E.caminer. "The third paper on 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in New gate' contains, such important matter as must arrest the atten tion of those in authority."—Derbyshire Courier and Chesterfield Gazette. • " Fraser's Magazine for August is replete with much interest ing matter. We have been much struck with a paper, which has been continued in several numbers, on the criminal juris prudence of the country, and entitled the Schoolmaster in IsTewgate."—Plynunith Herald. " We are glad to find 'the Schoolmaster' is to be continued, for it lays open such an hitherto unknown field of observation— it places the condition of Newgate and the conduct of the judges in so new a light, and yet so evidently correct, that every law man in the kingdom, be he attorney, conveyancer, especial pleader, or whatever else, will benefit from its perusal; and will be glad after that perusal to use his influence to procure a change in the practice of those who preside at the criminal courts of the criminal sessions in the metropolis. The cause and continual increase in London of thieves is distinctly pointed out, the manner and accuracy of which is it impossible to dis pute." "But 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is the article of articles, for utility and deep interest, among all the magazines of the month."—Gloucester Journal. "The Regina, of July, exhibits many beauties, and some good intentions, which atone for her political sins—the errors of ultra- Toryism. Few periodicals have so rapidly progressed, or have been so firmly fixed in public estimation, in the same given time, as Fraser's Magazine. The boldness, vigour, and originality of its political papers, and the freshness and playful humour of its lighter articles, render this monthly visitor generally interesting. A. continuation of 'the Schoolmaster's Experience in Newgate' is a production of the deepest interest; it is a distressing deve lopment of the mal-administration and anomalous working of our elkoinal rode as_pnveo _l2x the proceedings at the Old accurately crouversant with the operations of this abominable system, and has furnished a body of evidence, which ought to arrest the immediate attention of those dunk their talents and influence td.refortu abuses.

"The author of this little volume enlists our feelings in be half of his subjects, inasmuch as he is a native of the island, whose natural beauties and other distinguishing features he has presented to us."—Bristol Journal. "'Barbadoes' occupies nearly half the volume, and being written by one to whom the scenes are familiar, there is a de lightful freshness and vigour in the descriptions, which a stranger might in vain have hoped to obtain."—Berkshire Chronicle. "A neat little volume of poems, the longest and most inte resting of which is entitled 'Barbadoes,' and relates chiefly to the scenery, the manners, and the historical incidents of that island."—Lirerpool Standard. " Mr. Chapman's versification is easy and harmonious; he has imagery, force, and pathos at command; and from his local ktiowled - ge, an eye for the beauties of nature, and a heart to estimate their value, he has been enabled to sketch many a glowing scene."—Court Journal. "Barbadoes has at last got a bard of her own; one who writes natural and harinonions verse. Mr. Chapman is a West Indian, and Barbadoes is the burden of his song. He sings with truth and ease, and with a voice melodious rather than loud."—Atlgen. "The principal subject of Mr, Chapman's volume, as the title imports, is l3arhadoes, where the scenery, habits, pursuits, and employments of one of the most important of the West India islands, (the author's birth-place,) are depicted with consider able ability, and, as we are assured, with a scrupulous adhesion to the literal truth. Besides poetical talent, this publication bears the impress of refined taste and extensive information connected with the western world. Several of the smaller pieces, too, are very beautiful.—Newcastle Courant. ... • THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ANOTHER FESTIVAL. I. IHE irresistible march of science has, in: the production of that incomparable spirit, BETT'S PATENT FR.F.,NGI - I DIS TILLED BRANDY, discovered a substitute even superior to its favourite prototype ! Inferior French and Spanish Brandies (of which the consumption is by no means inconsiderable) will not 'bear with it.the slightest comparison. The most competent judges have repeatedly expressed their perfect astonishment at its-exact imitation of the finest Cognac.' Chemists justly celebrated for their scientific attainments, have upon analyzation pronounced it a more pure and wholesome spirit; while its price is but lit tle more than'hall that of French Brandy--viz., 18s imperial gallon. ' It is, then, to the patriot, Who studies his 'ountry's weal—to the connoisseur, who delights in a deli flavour—to the agri culturist, from whose produce it is ade—to the economist, whose prudence it invites—to the invalid, whose health and comfort it promotes—to the prejudiced, who have hitherto suf fered their judgment to be enslaved—and to the consumers of Brandy in every class of society, that J. T. BETTS and Co. confidently appeal for patronage and support. J. I'. BETTS and Co. had flattered themselves that the un precedented extent of • sale and admitted superiority iu the quality of their PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, would, ere now, have wholy dissipated the prejudice which has been known to exist in the minds of many persons against Brandy manufactured in this country, and which, before the introduc tion of their article, was, perhaps, justifiable. If a patronage, as distinguished as it is extensive, including many thousand families of every rank and class of society in all parts of the kingdom, be any proof of merit, then has the PATENT BRANDY irresistible claims to universal support. J. T. BETTS and Co. could well have afforded to rest their claims to the merit of having introduced an unrivalled produc tion on such incontrovertible evidence. But they feel that the public, rather than themselves, are interested in the announce ment, that they are perfectly aware of the efforts still made by interested persons to depreciate the PATENT BRANDY; and to prevent the entire removal from the public mind of that inju rious delusion, which, however weakened, still exists in a qua lified degree. It is mainly with a view, therefore, to destroy the last remnant of this prejudice, that J. T. BETTS and Co. recall the attention of all classes to the consideration of the de cided approval given by the faculty to their PATEN'T BRANDY— an approbation resting on the important facts contained in the following detail : First, That "BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY" is the only known pure Spirit in the World. Secondly, That, the dealers in French Brandy—who have always been the most inveterate, as they are the natural oppo nents of the PATENT' BRANDY—have been repeatedly . chal lenged in the public journals, by comparison or otherwise, to disprove the foregoing fact; and as, the vital interests of their trade hang upon, its dispyoval, the sole and just inference tlraull by the public, from their constantly diclining to accept tho/chitl lenge, is, that TILE FACT IS BEYOND DISPUTE. Thirdly That', whilst the PATENT, BRANDY possesses all the valuable properties of the first class Cognac, it is free from the acids which even that fine spirit is known to contain. Its supe riority is still more marked over French Brandies of the second' and lower classes, which are frequently mixed with considerable quantities of a spirit obtained from other products than the grape, containing a large proportion of acid, which tends seri ously to disorder the stomach. Fourthly, That in consequence of the freedom of the PATENT BRANDY from those injurious acids, its use is not attended with nausea or head-ache. And, as a necessary consequence of its extreme purity, it is found congenial to the most delicate con stitutions, and is especially valuable to persons of bilious or dyspeptic habiti. Fifithly, That, for the foregoing reasons, all the faculty, who are acquainted with the intrinsic merits of the PATENT BRANDY, recommend it in preference to any other spirit for medicinal purposes. Sixthly, That, for the like reasons, when used as an ordinary beverage, diluted (in the manner recommended by the first Physicians) in the proportion of one to six, it is infinitely pre ferable to Malt, and other fermentable liquors. Whilst it stands unrivalled for HOME NI ADE WINES, CONFECTIONARY, and cru- NARY . purposes, where the absence of acids is an important requisite. - - Seventhly—That the PATENT BRANDY, either PALE OT CO-. LOURED, at the' highest legal strength, is charged only EIGHTEISN SHILLINGS per linperial Gallon, or little more than half the price of French Brandy. And lastly—That the superiority of the PATENT BRANDY, as thus defined, is established by unanimous opinions, founded upon the results of various analyses made by the most cele brated chemists; from whose certificates the three accompany ing extracts are selected : EXTRACTS FROM THE TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies ported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To M. Betts." _ _ " Lecturer on Chemistry " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence; that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpassed, and that your Pa tent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the foreitrn " JOSEPH HUME, _ _ " J. T. Betts, Esq." Chemist to his Majesty." " I do not hesitate to express myconviction that your Patent Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health and contains as pure a spirit, a the best varieties of foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, - Professor of Chemistry in the University of London." " John T. Botts, Esq." CAUTION.—The general adoption of BETT'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY and its rapidly in creasing sale have produced numerous imitations, alike ineffec tual and fruitless; but several persons having been misled, and given their orders to clerks or agents of other houses who have insidiously represented themselves as being connected with the " French Brandy Distillery," J. T. Betts and Co. deem it requisite thus to caution the Trade, that they may be on their guard against similar impositions, and to state that their only establishment for Liverpool is at 66, Vine-place, Lord-street. N.B.—As some of the imitations alluded to are nothing met* than light-flavoured Leeward Island Rum,. coloured to assimi= late Brandy, and others strongly impregnated with the flavours of Medicated Potatoe Whiskey, which are immediately dis coverable on mixing, J. T. Betts and Co. beg to add, that they do not use either of the above articles in the manufacture of their Brandy, which never appears more to advantage than when diluted with hot water. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, MONDAY, SEPT. 9. THE CASE OF THOMAS COX SAVORY. Mr. Alley stated that he appeared for the prosecution in this case, in which a second indictment had been found against the prisoner, to which he was desirous of pleading, the other indict ment having been traversed to the next session. The Recorder said, if Mr. Savory appeared in court, he would take the plea. Mr. Savory then appeared at the inner bar, accompanied by a friend of his own persuasion. The clerk of the arraigns then read over both the indictments to the prisoner. The first, of the 21st of August, charged the prisoner with exposing to sale silver spoons and other species of plate, with marks purporting to be the hall mark of the Goldsmiths' Company; and the second indictment, of the 31st of January, charged the prisoner with selling plate similarly marked. The prisoner pleaded " not guilty" to the second indictment, and was ordered to enter into his own recognizauces in £5OO, and two sureties of £250 each, to appear at the next session. Mrs Justice Patteson and Mr. Baron Gurney entered the court at len o'clock, and the former immediately proceeded to give judgment as to the validity of the intermediate sessions lately. held at Clerkenwell. The learned judge stated that it appear ed that, in the county of Middlesex, for many years, it had• been the practice to hold eight sessions of the peace y e arly, four of which took place on the usual quarter-days, and were called the General Quarter Sessions,' and the other four were called the Quarter Sessions. The sessions at which the indictments against Read, Moloney, and Storey were found, were not either of those sessions, but were held as an original session without adjournment. The prisoners Read, Moloney, and Storey re fused to plead, on the ground that the session was illegal; and himself and his brother Gurney took time to consider the point, not on account of any doubt they entertained, but because it was stated to be a case of great importance, and on which much difference of opinion prevailed. They had had an opportunity of consulting with Loa' Chief Justice Tindal and Mr. Baron Bayley, both of whom concurred -entirely with them in thinking that the session at which the in dictments were found was a good and - valid session. By the common law the King had the power to issue a commission for the trial of offences at any time he might think fit; and if such a commission was issued without limiting it to any particular day or time, the commissioners named in that commission might meet for the purposes of that commission as often as they thOught fit. The forms ,of the commissions bore out that construction, and the justices had the power to hold sessions when they pleased,. unless they were restricted by the acts of Parliament, which it was said they were ; but on looking to the acts of Par liament, the learned judge thought the contrary would be clearly shown. The acts of the 25th of Edward 11., chap. 31, com m only,called the Statute of Labourers, enacted that in all coun ties tirtti shOUld at least be four sessions held within the yoar, and at all times, if needed, according to the discretion of the ju.-4e4.- at:-Edward-Edward eh. 12, the 12th ,ssr Richard 11., and the 2d of Henry V. made similar enactments, all stat ing " and more often it` need be." The 14th of\ Henry VI., whii‘h was applicable only to the county of Middlesex, relieved that.county from the necessity of holding four sessions a-year, and made it imperative upon them only to hold two, but it ex- Nessly gave them the power to hold more if necessity required. Nothing was therefore clearer than the arts of Parliament. Some cases had been-cited at the bar in which a different deci sion to that he was now about to come to had been pronounced, but with those cases neither his learned brother nor himself could agree. Having no doubt upon' the point when the case first cause before the Court, and being fortified in that opinion by the concurrence of two other learned judges, they were of opinion that the session at which the indictments referred to had been found was a good and valid session.

Somebody of the Ministry has been engaged to blow `a penny trumpet in favour of their great doings at home and abroad; and the sound of the tiny instrument has been swelled into as muca importance as possible by the regular wind-instrument performers-- of the ministerial press. The book is called The Reformed Ministry and the Reformed Parliament ; and we shall do it the justice I of saying that it is perfectly worthy of both, being frau dulent, stupid, and false., We are, however, puzzled how to review it, because it is little more than a repetition, in a more extended form, of the arguments and statements which were put into the King's mouth last week by his Ministers. There is the same praise of the peddling sham economy—of the miserable humbug reforms in the law—of the sacrifice of the Irish church—of the ruin of the West India Islands— of the mischievous meddling with the charters of the In dia Company and the Bank—in domestic matters; and in foreign affairs, we find both the pamphlet and the Speech huzzaing over the settlement of Belgium—the pacification of Portugal—the excellent arrangement of the affairs of Turkey—and other triumphs of Whig di plomacy. "To name Russia is to think of Poland ; but, alas! what have we to say about that ill-fated and devoted country ? It lies prostrate at the feet of its conqueror, enduring all the miseries which exulting revenge can inflict upon a subdued and no longer resisting antagonist. Arc the statements which have been made on this matter exaggerated?? For the honour of humanity, we wish they may prove so; but if they are, why have they not been refuted ? But, indeed, the published acts of the Russian Government speak for themselves. Have not those acts been calculated to crush national spirit and extin guish national feeling, to wound the hearts of individuals, and to add private affliction to public calamity ? Could England have prevented all this? That is the question which belongs to our present inquiry. We fear we must answer in the nega tive; at least we believe that if England and France had at tempted to throw their shield over Poland, the certain and im mediate consequence would have been a general war in Europe, while Polish deliverance would have been a doubtful result. "The kingdom of Poland has no sea-port with which Eng land can communicate; and it is separated from France by the interposition of half of Germany. Austria and Prussia were ready to have supported Russia, and each had an army of 100,000 men on the Polish frontier, ready to march at a mo ment's notice. If we had declared war against Russia, on behalf of Poland, we should have had to wage that war against Austria 'and Prussia also. But what would - thope three -Powers have done ? They would all have united to crush the Poles, which, as their armies were placed, would have been but the work of a fortnight; and then we should have had to wage a general war in Europe, nut to save the Poles, but only to avenge their fall. The war, too, would necessarily have been a war of poli tical principle, at a moment when the recent events in France and - Belgium had excited, to the highest pitch, the passions of mankind, and had brought into active conflict the most ex treme opinions. We baieve our government judged wisely. But the Polish nation sleeps, and is not dead .Some day or other it may still awake: we trust that the brighter day which must await it will be prepared first by a milder and juster, and therefore wiser policy on the part of Russia, and will not be preceded by a renewal of violence and bloodshed. But no administrative ingenuity can extinguish a great people, and no physical force can permanently keep such a people down . in misery and bondage." There is much bad writing here. "To name Russia, is to think of Poland." What does this mean ? To name Lord Grey, is to think of quartering relatives on the public; to name Lord Brougham, is to think of the beefsteaks ; to name Lord Althorp, is to think of stupi dity ; to name Lord Palmerston, is to think of joint stocks and Jack Wilks; to name Lord Melbourne, is to think of Lady Caroline; to name Lord Ripon, is to think of Goose Goderich ; to name Spring Rice, is to think of affidavits—and so forth. But why should the name of Russia suggest nothing but the idea of Poland ? It ought, in the mind of an English minister, much rather to excite the idea of Turkey. —We agree with the pamphleteer—we could not do any thing for the Poles. They touch not us. But still more the violation of the treaty of Vienna, in the case of Belgium, left us no diplomatic right to interfere for the Poles. With what face could we invoke that treaty, when the Emperor had it in his power to say, " Restore the kingdom of the Netherlands, and then I'll restore the kingdom of Poland." For the coward Belgians the Poles were sacrificed, who, all scoundrels as they are, are nevertheless not cowardly scoundrels. We acted most prudently therefore, in every -point of view, in not coming forward. The humbug of liberalism is a sensible -humbug in many particulars. As we have already said, the Dutch are robbed without ceremony because they are weak ; the Turks are robbed 'because they are weak; the Planters are robbed because they are weak; but the Emperor of Russia, though much denounced, is not robbed, because lie is stron , . The valour of our ministers is the valour of a pickpocket. It is "hoped and trusted" that the Emperor will be more mild, just, &c. &c. to the Poles. Hoped—trusted! —have we come to these beggar words at last ? Do we crouch the knee and extend the palm ? It is a new atti tude for England. But we hope and trust in vain—we have turned, beggar-men to no purpose. The whole Russian nation is with their Emperor, and the Poles must be contented to suffer the lot which has ever been, and, will ever be, the lot of unsuccessful rebels. So far, how ever, from agreeing with the numskull pamphlet that the separation of Poland from Russia would be a source of weakness to the latter, we know that it would be a source of strength. As it is now, Russia must hold it by immense garrisons and armies, and she dare not advance into Europe without the fear of an insurrection in her rear. Even in the Turkish war, this dread paralyzed many of the Russian operations. In a French war it would be a most serious and vital hindrance to any ex tended plan of campaign. Revive the humbug kingdom of Poland, and put a Stanislaus Poniatowski on the throne—soothe the base priesthood and the beggarly nobles by throwing them the serfs to eat as in old times, and Poland will be no longer a hindrance to the move ments of Russian ambition. This, however, is a point o view too elevated for the blinkards of the pamphlet. Weihave already far exceeded our usual limits—but we have torn one of the brightest passages of our foreign diplomacy to pieces. Let our readers take our word for it that the parts we have not noticed are as false, as flimsy, and as shallow, as absurd in reasoning and as paltry in writing, as those which we have laid before them. One word before we part. The pamphlet assures us that the reformed House of Commons is an assembly of gentlemen ! Knock bin' down, Jack Gully, knock him down ! It is libelling the great majority of the body to which you be long. An assembly of gentlemen !—lt would make a troop of dragoons, horses and all, burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. „* Since the above was written, we have learned that this pamphlet is a quadrupartite concern—the four fathers being Spring Rice, Powlett Thomson, Ned Ellice,!and Palmerston, whose average English or Irish was put:into somewhat intelligible language by a treasury hack belonging to the Globe. It is a glorious specimen of the division of labour.—Age. A Committee was appointed during the last session of Parliament to inquire into the present state of agricul ture, and of persons employed in agriculture in the United Kingdom. The Committee made a report at the beginning of August, which has since been published. The report, we are sorry to observe, describes the con dition of the farmers generally to be retrograding. It is stated that during the last ten years especially, they have become more and more distressed, the value of their stock has been reduced lower and lower, their capi tal has been diminishing, and their land has been ra pidly deteriorating in productiveness, their produce be ing neither so much in quantity nor so good in quality. The poor lands are in many places entirely gone out of cultivation. Of a few counties the report speaks more favourably. In Shropshire, Cheshire, Wiltshire, and the Isle of Thanet, the cultivation of the land is said to be rather improyet4.big .gYen. in those districts the con dition of the tenantry is stated to be far from prosperous. The effect of this state of things, and of unfavourable seasons, - is, that for some years the stock on hand, on the arrival of harvest, has not exceeded a month's con sumption. In 1816, there was a stock of old corn on hand, equal to six months' consumption ; but since that period it has been gradually decreasing; and Mr. Jacobs, a gentleman whose opinion on this subject is entitled to particular consideration, says, that " if we were to di minish the growth of English wheat by one-tenth part o f that now produced, we should not be in a safe state in case of a deficient harvest, for all the world could not 'make up the dyiciency." The evidence of the witnesses generally attributes the decreased productiveness of the soil to the diminished means of the farmer. Their dis tress is the consequence the low price of produce, of ,high rents, poor rates, and th e wages o f l a b our . Th oug h it is the fashion amongst those who are loudest in their abuse of the landed interest, to attribute the dis tress of the farmer to the pressure of high rents alone, it appears from the evidence that the other causes act with at least equal eiThet upon his resources. It is stated by several witnesses, that the condition of the agricul tural labourers, generally speaking, is not worse than it was eight or ten years ago. Their wages have not been reduced in the same proportion as the necessaries of life ; and, in some districts, it is affirmed, their mo ney wages are as high at this moment as at the conclu sion of the war. It is stated, however, that the present rate of farm wages, though not more than the labourer ought to receive, is higher than the farmer, from the fall in prices of farm produce, can afford to pay ; and that it has been obtained not . by the regul ar p rocess o f su pply and demand, but by i ntimidati on . This is a circum stance which, independent of its effect upon the agricul tural interest, involves a principle which, if carried into general operation, would be destructive of all property, and in the end increase the distress of the labourers themselves. We shall not, at present, however, say all ' that our view of the consequences likely to result from such a state of things suggests. The effect, at present, is to increase the difficulties and embarrassments of the farmer. We need scarcely observe, that the impression pro duced on our minds by the perusal of the evidence, is to strengthen our conviction of the necessity of support ing, by protecting duties, the interests of the British farmer. Such support is necessary, not merely to ena ble him to pay his rents and to maintain his labourers, but to secure a due supply of the chief necessary of life. The whole of the evidence goes to show that it would he an infatuation little short of madness to throw this country upon the chance of foreign supplies ; and that if we once commit ourselves to the chances of free trade, and thereby throw out of cultivation the inferior soils, (amounting, according to the evidence, to one-third,) we shall put to hazard not only the comfort and pros perity of a large and important portion of the commu nity, but the subsistence of the whole people.—ilan chester Herald. CLOSE OF THE BILKING PARLIAMENT.—Some days since a proof-sheet was sent us for correction, in . which Lord Althorp's bill for the commutation of English tithes was ingeniously printed Lord Althorp's bilk. The letter was wrong, but the spirit so exquisitely correct, that there was reluctance to turn the honest word into what his lordship intended the public should read it. It has been a complete session of bilks, where everybody has been bilking everybody—bilker or bilkee in turn. First, we had the great bilk, by which the Irish nation long al ternately praying and fighting for justice, got the coer cion bill. Then there was the bilk of retrenchment, the bilk of the abolition of pensions and sinecure places, the bilk of the assessed taxes abolition, when so many pledged members openly and barefacedly bilked their constituents and will try it again, if they give them opportunity. We have since had the bank charter bilk, and the corn laws' bilk. The nation has beets bilked out of a million to the Irish parsons, and of twenty millions to the West Indian slaveholders. But the grand bilk of the session, juggle and bilk together, and deeper villany, a mystery of ini quity we may yet unfold, is the Irish church bill bilk, where Tories bilked Whigs and Whigs bilked Tories, and where Tory and Tory and Whig and Whig tried in the dark to bilk each other ' • Sir R. Peel, Tory, conniv ing with Mr. E. Stanley, Whig, handy-dandy, to bubble and bilk such simple good men as Lord Althorp, and Sir Robert Inglis, Tory. The Irish church bill is, indeed, the grand bilk of bilks—the crowning bilk of the first bilking session of a reformed Parliament. Whether Tories or Whigs shall be the successful bilkers before Christmas-day is yet a puzzle ; the latter have, with all their might, worked hard and sweated, rising ere it was morning, to make smooth and easy the way of return to the sweets of (ace to their opponents, and trusting to ac company them in single file or by small divisions. Lat terly, the Whigs have appeared rather desirous of leaving some small obstruction—a few Macadam bars across the path; but if the West India bilk is completed before the prorogation, the Tories will not strain hard at any thing else. Unless the people are " wide awake," the second bilking session will be triumphantly opened by the To ries.—Tait's Magazine. v . s { ' PAGANINI.

Price NINEPENCE. Ebt ILibtrpool AtanDarb, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1833. We received yesterday a file of Jamaica papers to the 29th July, and, as might be expected, these contain a variety of opinions on the great question of colonial sla very. From the Jamaica Despatch of the 25th July we take the following extract from a very able letter, to which public attention is called on the ground that it ex presses the sentiments of the great body of the planters. The letter, by the way, is addressed to Mr. Secretary STANLEY : "The British Government may send out an order for the emancipation, of the slaves, and the colonists, knowing their power to enforce it, must submit; but were England ten thou sand times more powerful than she is, she cannot compel the colonists to support any apprenticed labourers upon such terms as are contained in your plan—and you will find that you will be told so by them when the time arrives. They know that the inherent rights of Englishmen are summed up in three articles —the right of personal security, the right of personal liberty, and the right of private property. Invade these rights, and you lay the foundation of England's ruin, and draw down on your own head the execration of after-ages for the misery you will have entailed on thousands, and for the effusion of blood which you will have occasioned. Protect these rights, and you will find the colonists go hand in hand with the mother country in all her views towards emancipation." The following is an extract from a private letter re ceived by an eminent mercantile house in this town:— " Kingston, Jamaica, 28th July, 1833. " Mr. Stanley's first proposition of depriving us of our pro perty, and giving, as compensation, LIBERTY TO BORROW MO - ! has made his second seem something like a boon. " We think that our Assembly (which is called for the 27th proximo) will accept of the £26 for each negro, and that they are more likely to make emancipation complete. on. receipt of the money, than be tied up to go into the vexatious details of the proposed apprenticeship. " Almost all the intelligent and reflecting people here think the colonies, as valuable and productive parts of the parent state, already lost; those who look only on the surface of things say all may yet be well. A government loan of ten millions on lauded security would assist the latter consummation; so would the establishment of banks and emigration. " strange, that while writing on this subject, the follow ing should be put into my hands, the opinion of a man of 70 : As I consider the cultivation of land in this country by the blacks nearly at an end, I am desirous of getting Mr. Myers, who is now in Bremen, with a view of getting Germans out to cultivate his property, to bring out some families for me. Can you give me his address ?—Yours, &c.' "This speaks for itself, and coincides with the opinion given to you by Mr. in London, by Mr. here, and other practical men. " In our opinion coffee and pimento may be productive for some years to come, but SUGAR WILL Nof!—Look at St. Do mingo !—it is now supplied from America! " The philanthropists of England will then have to supply themselves with the produce of foreign slave labour. Such will be the end of this famous bill. "Query,—Will the blacks in our own colonies benefit by this change? We say, No! But time will tell." We have also received Demerara papers to the late date of the 7th August. The colonists of Berbice pre sented an address to the Governor, Sir JAMES CARMI CHAEL SMYTH, on the 27th July, in which, with reference to the resolutions of the House of Commons, the follow ing sentence is the most important:— " We will not conceal from your Excellency the deep anx iety and fearful doubts with which we contemplate the mo mentous changes about to take place in the colonial system ; but convinced that these changes are inevitable, and that our property and very existence, as a civilized society, depend upon their successful result, we beg to assure your Excellency that we will most cordially concur and co-operate, by every means in our power, with your Excellency and his Majesty's Govern ment in giving effect to all such measures as may be deemed necessary (in pursuance of the Resolution of the House of SEPTEMBER 13, 1833. Commons) for the preserva•tion of the public tranquillity, the security of property, and the welfare of all classes of the com munity. Confidently relying on th e j us tice of his Majesty' s Government and our fellow-subjeftfts in the mother country should all our efforts to meet their wishes fail of success, W award us full and just compensation for all the losses tve shall such event have sustained." By this it would appear that these gentlemen look for ward to a further pecuniary award in their favour besides the proposed twenty millions. We congratulate them upon their hopes and pleasing anticipations; but it will be as well to receive the first payment before they adop t any plan for building castles with the second grant. A general meeting of the Agricultural Society of Demerara and Essequebo was held on the 6th August, at which a similar address was voted and presented to his Excellency. The following are three of the resolutions passed at this meeting : "That however much our experience leads ds to dread, the peril incident to so sudden and premature a change in the ex isting relations of master and servant, and the fatal ernbarrasi ments consequent upon its failure, we, nevertheless, placing implicit confidence in the declarations of the British Govern ment, and relying on the wisdom of the Local Legislature to organize the details applicable to this colony, of this great • national experiment, so as to render the chance of the future beneficial cultivation of the soil as little hazardous as possible to the planter, will cordially co-operate in the endeavour to bring the contemplated measures to a safe and happy result. " "That the compensation awarded by Parliament for the loss of property, which it is admitted the - colonists must sustain, even at the commencement of the contemplated changes , should be paid to the proprietors without any delay, in order to enable them to give the plan a fair trial. "That his excellency the Lieutenallit-Governor and the ho nourable the Court of Policy be most respectfully requested to • take into consideration the propriety of submitting to his Ma jesty's government a proposal that, in addition to the compen sation, there be granted to this colony a loan of two millions i t and a half sterling, bearing 4 p er cen t. _i n t e r es t , with 1 per cent. additional as a sinking fund, to be secured upon - the co lonial revenue. Such loan would be -highly, beneficial to the colonial interests, and would tend to prevent an accumulation of distress, which the proposed partial com?ensation, in its more enlarged application, will be insufficient to arrest," Whether Government will pay any attention to these suggestions relative to a loan remains to be seen. The most important document, however, which we have re ceived from Demerara, is a copy of the resolutions unani mously agreed to by the Court of Policy on the sth August. The Governor submitted to the Court the resolutions of the House of Commons, and a circular from Mr. Secretary STANLEY, on the 3d August. These latter documents are too voluminous for our pages; but the substance of them will be gathered from the subjoined reply, the Court of Policy having adjourned from the 3d to the sth August, in order to deliberate upon and pre pare the same : " His excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, having laid before the court a circular despatch of the right honourable the Secre tary of State for the Colonies, dated 13th June last, communi cating certain resolutions adopted by the House of Commons relating to the abolition of colonial slavery, the court is de sirous, on so momentous an occasion, to take the earliest oppor tunity of recording, for the information of his Majesty's govern ment, their sentiments on the general principles of this most important subject, which alone are indicated in those resolutions, and referred to in that despatch : • "That, for this purpose, acknowledging, and accepting wil- 4 gratitude the grant of twenty millions sterling announced to - be • made towards the compensation of the proprietors in the slave colonies, as an earnest of the deliberate and becoming deter mination of the imperial parliament to fulfil to any further extent which the circumstances of the case may call for, the obligation which justice imposes of enforcing no ipvasion of the rights of private property without affording full indemnifica tion, and relying on the firm adherence to the just principle of distribution of that grant among the several colonies, which has been already declared by his Majesty's government, this court requests that his excellency the Lieutenant-Governor will be pleased to convey to his Majesty the dutiful assurance of itg cordial desire to contribute its best efforts to devise and give effect to all such measures for the abolition of slavery as shall appear best calculated for attaining that object, under such provisions for regulating the condition of the negro as maY combine their welfare with the interest of the proprietors, and the general benefit of the state. " 2.—That, in receiving with respectful deference, and en`'' gaging to aid zealously in procuring an efficient and salutary operation of the decree of his Majesty and the British parlia ment on this subject, the court cantiot conceal its sense of th,, almost overwhelming difficulties with which the intended ex periment is encompassed, nor can it look forward without a feel ing of deep anxiety, not unmixed with misgivings, as to its results. "3.—That, while the court is aware that the projected mea sures are intended to effect an entire change in the structure of our society, and in the relations of its different classes, and are designed to abolish any domestic or arbitrary authority by which its labouring population has been hitherto partially go verned, and while it will be ready to adopt and to aid in carry ing into execution a more approved scheme of social relations, conducive, eventually, to elicit and establish, to every practi cable extent, a system of voluntary industry for carrying on the work of agricultural .production, it anxiously hopes that. big- Majesty and parliament will be disposed to make considerate allowance, not only for the acknowledged difficulties cotillion to all the slave colonies which perplex the satisfactory adjust' ment of the question, but in an especial manyetior the peculiar and aggravated disadvantages, with reference to the accomplish ment of the desired object, which attach to this colony in cony parison with most others, arising from several obvious causes , but chiefly from the greater disparity which exists here between the supply of, and the demand for, labour, in consequence of the unbounded extent of the field for its employment; and be' tween its value and the cost of that scale of maintenance with which the habits and circumstances of the labourer dispose hire to rest satisfied. The court, therefore, earnestly trusts that his Majesty's government will be sensible, that the maintenance or efficient industry, in the cultivation of the staple productions 0f the colony, can only be secured by regulations of the most strict and powerful description, which, though exempt from the 01) " noxious features of slavery, and effectually guarded against th e liability to abuse, under the impulse of private interest or irre sponsible authority, will, nevertheless, render the existing fun d of labour to every extent not incompatible with the well-beiag, of the labouring class, availabl e f or con ti nu i ng th e e stablishe d system of production of the colony, and that such regulation° are alike essential to the preservation of the capital involved , '" to the rendering of this dependency of the empire subservient.t; its power, prosperity, and resources, and are in an esPe ci a manner called for by a compr e h e n s i ve r ega rd t o the future and permanent welfare, and the progressive social advancement the great body of its labouring population, whose interests ha ee engaged in so marked a manner the solicitude of the Dritiso nation. " 4.—That, as intimately connected with and subservient t° the prospective elevation of that description of the labouri l l population whose privileges are about to be extended, an d te essential to the well-being and salutary organisation of O r " entire social state, the court cannot on this occasion refre lll , from expressing its sense of the urgent necessity for reconstrucl „ ing fundamentally, and making due provision for the effleie ° . execution of an equally powerful and strict system of apPoe li. ate regulations for the government of its general society, ° f t. complexions and descriptions ; an organisation which is more indispensable to the peace and safety of the commurntf' from the recent rapid increase of a free population, cowl:i ll : a t ; tively exempt from salutary control, and too often revelling W impunity in licentious idleness and petty crime, in' consequence of an existing institution, chiefly, framed with an exelu e ly regard to the regulation of a slave community, being utter _ inadequate to afford sufficient means of preventing and retire!, ing the disorder, and obviating the danger thus incident to et' social state. hic h "s.—That looking to the unavoidably heavy expense w will attach to the establishment of a magistracy and P (: l t s establishment, on a scale of efficacy commensurate W: s l the wants of the community, and daverting to the additiot7o provision requisite for the religioUs and moral education 0f t he negro population, the court receives with thankfulness , pledge contained in the resolution of the intention of Part ~tch ment to make provision for these important objects, to " the resources of this colony are entirely inadequate. 6.—That it is particularly satisfactory to the court to her:: the assurance of the Secretary of State, that the ure a 0p! proposed to Parliament for carrying into effect the reso lu" tv of the House of Commons will be so framed as to leav e e . amplest opportunity for taking advantage of the local inf ° e it tion of the Legislative councils, and showing respect to rt "; l 4 judgments. That the court will devote itself to this iror ° duty whenever his excellency the Lieutenant-Governor J-0, propose that it. shall enter on its details, and that in the ! le e r time, the court entirely concurring in opinion with i ss ir ieo cellency in the propriety of making such preliminary ingtioters as may be conducive to the due elucidation of various t ri to lY connected with the projected chauges, will engage assi dt in instituting such inquiries.
