Mr. T. WILSON presented a petition from the soap manufac-
turers of IVestrninstet and London, praying for a reduction of the
duty on a.ap. He said that the duty on this commodity was so
high as to induce many persons to engage in illicit trading; by
evading die duty they would realise a profit of cent. per cent. ; a
' reduction ni the duty would therefore remove the temptation,
prevent smuggling, and increase the revenue.
Mr. SYKLS said that the duty was extravagantly high, and
there was no doubt but it held out a temptation to mugs/ling. It
was a tax upon an article of general consumption, and not -only
pressed upon the middling orders of persons, but upon manufac-
turers. who were obliged to use it for the purposes of their trade.
lie wished duties to be imposed by direct taxation, and not on
articles of consumption.

charged with having MOWheti her husband, Mr. Hill, oilman, of
Piccadilly and Albemarle-street.
In consequence of the respectability of the parties, Me., 11,11,
when brought to the Office, was taken to the private puleilt,
where she remained until Mr. Conant was readree hear the cots.
plaint. In the meantime the lady threatened to have the :ling,
strata, removed for causing her to be detained. and wt..?,, yc
length ohs was requested to come into the office, she, atter a :A..,
hesitation, advanced up to the table, and told Mr. Constr.; tot:
if Mr. Dyer or Sir George Farrant had been present, they
do her justice : but It was impossible that he could, ae her nia•:,.
monal disputes had never been before him.
Mr. CONANT observed, in reply, that he would pay ee"7
, attention to the eerie, end he had no doubt that she would be per.
fectly satisfied with his decision ; however, the lady objected to
the case being heard, as her son was not not present ; and she re.
traced her steps into the parlour, where, throwing herself into a
chair, she exerted her voice so powerfully as to Call* a Mob is
gather round the office. On its being whispered to her that she
would be locked up she very prudently beams calm.
Sl'hen Mr. DYES came he stated he was ready to hear the
charge, and desired Mrs. Hill to walk into the office. Bhe, is
reply, sent a message, that she was ready to receive the Mitt,.
trate. This was trifling too much with the diginity of the Heath
end after another summons, Mrs. hill made her appearance.
Mr. Hill then stated that he and his wife had been separated
for some time, but her son and two daughters were residing with
him; it had never been his wish that Mrs. 11. should not see lie
children. and he had therefore given orders that she should se
admitted whenever she CAMS: but, unfortunately, she would net
confine herself to her daughter's room. On Thursday last, til.e,t
on a visit to the house, she entered his room, anti threw a salt
him, by which lie was struck upon his arm ; it snow/ads struck.
a panel, and broke into a thousand pieces.
Mrs. Hill, in her defence, which was very lengthy end elo-
quent, endeavoured to persuade the Magistrate that Mr. 11. was
mad, and had been so for five years past. She complained that,
after being used to the Komforts of a carriage, sire was now te-
duced to 7'd. per year. and that Mr. 11. kept possession of her
property. She was irritated. she said, by the unpardonable lea.
gun;:e used to her by Mr. Hill. She only held up the salt to
frighten him, and it accidentally fell out of her hand ; but she de.
elated, if she had had tt pistol she would have shot him. She
called on her son by a former husband, Mr. Aveling, to prove
the truth of her statement; but that gentleman's detail differed.
From hers. _ _ _

After consideroble discussion the lady was ordered to find ba.l,
which she refused to do, saying, that she had troubled Sir Chat_
Price and other gentlemen before, and would not do so again—
neither would she be locked up ; and tip to the timed oar leaving
the office the lady's obstinacy triumphed.

DRURY-LANF: THEATRE.

The opera of Gay Manner-big, was announced for repre-
sentation on Friday evening—the characters of !Jay and
Henry Bertram by Miss Stephens and Mr. Sinclair. On
the entrance of Lee!, it was seen that Miss Gtaddon, not
Miss Stephens, was the representative. Strong disappro-
bation was immediately expressed, anti Miss Graddon was
obliged to leave the stage. Mr. Penley then came forward
with a play-hill in his hand, and with difficulty:obtained
a hearing while he stated that bills, similar to that in his
I hand, had been posted at the doors to announce that, in
consequence of the sudden indlliposition of Miss Stephens
and Mr. Sinclair, their characters would be sustained by
Miss Graddon and Mr. Horn. The audience were still
dissatisfied, and Mr. Penley withdrew amidst cries of
" Shame, shame!" " (.)f1 off!" it was attempted to
proceed with the piece, but the disturbance increased.
Liston next came forward with an apology, but was unable
to obtain a hearing. The Manager was loudly called for,
and Mr. Elliston, jun., presented himself; and, having
expressed his regret for the disappointment, said those who
chose to leave the house should have their money returned.
lie slam stated, that lie held a certificate of Mr. Sinclair's
indisprsition ; and added, that Miss Stephens's father was
extremely ill, and supposed to be at the point of death.
After this appeal the tumult subsided, and but few left
the house. A long pause succeeded the first act, when
Mr. Elliston again came forward, and said that on receiv-
ing the certificate of Mr. Sinclair's inability to perform Mr.
Horn had been sent for, hut had not yet arrived; under
these circumstances Mr. Yardley, who had repeatedly per-
formed the part in the country, had tendered his services,
and with their permission the piece would proceed. The
audience testified their approbation, and Mr. Yardley's
performance was very favourably received.

FRANKFORT PAPERS.

Frankfort Papers to the 28th ult. arrived yesterday.
Under the date of R••rliu, Sep•ember 21, we find the
Autumnal Reviews in that capital have attracted many
strangers to witness diem. The " intellectual advance"
made by the Prussian army, since the time of Frederick
the Great, is rather ludicrously celebrated, and, at the
same time, we are told that it has not retrograded in" what
may be called mechanical excellence."

From Elberfeld, September 23, it is stated that hereto-
fore strangers could not land in Mexico without permission
from the capital, or a passport from one of the Mexican
Consuls. To obviate the delay sometimes complained of,
the Sub-director of the Rhenish West India Company
announces that he is authorized to furnish passports to
those who have occasion fur them. _ _

We extract from these papers the following article, which
gives some interesting particulars of the rnjoicings on the
birth-day of Prince George, the Duke of Cumberland's
son, with an entertaining anecdote of royalty :
lIILBURGIIAUSEN, SEPT. 23.
A Tferditre eri (111th of Sept.>, when the birth-day of the non
of the Duke of Cumberland, Prince George, was announced by
the salutes of artillery, it was von evident that the ancient love
of the citizens to their rineestt not to be dispelled by every report
or gloomy apprehension.* IM i/he public market-place there were
great rejoicings. AilifiNg thesPepsd was a travelling Bat arian mer.
chant, who te!t himself inteteeled on the occasion, on account of
his Queen, a Princess of Pliliarehausen. Observing a grntleman,
who seemed to be peculiarly happy. he went up to him with two
bumpers of wine, and. presenting one of them to him, said, ' To
my Que-n." The stranger, smiling, took the glass and drank the
meat with great pleasure. Soon after a servant in the Duke's livery
brought to the merchant a basket, with some bottles of Champagne,
tsYing. My master's compliments, arid, having before drank with
you the health of your Queen. reveats you to drink in return the
health of his daughter.' It was the Duke, father of the Queen of
Bavaria."
• This alludes to the reported political changes, in consequence
of the partitions of the dominions of the late Duke of Saxe Gotha;
respecting which, however, nothing official has been published.

GOTHA, SEPTENnta 5.

Our new Prince, the Duke of Coburg, has returned to his cap!.
tal. from his tour in Switzerland. The Convention for the partition
of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg is, however, not pt
ratified by him; we learn, too, that the Duke of Mcirungen has
not ratified the Convention without a reservation of some points.
The Duke of Coburg will remove his residence to the pleasant city
of Gotha, and hopes are entertained here that his Royal Highness
Prince lz.topold of Saxe-Coburg (son-in-law of the King of Eng-
land) will in future spend the greater pert of the year among us. It
is certain that a splendid residence is now fitting up for him. The
luße of Hildburgliausen, who has obtained for his share the deb
principality of Altenburg, has already removed to Altenburg with
tin whole tourt.

RUDOLSTADT, SEPT. B.
The account g'ven in some papers respecting the Princess tax (or
contribution lesi.d on the marriage of a Princess of the Duchy) has
been answered in ore of our Journals, which refutes three errors in
the article in question. I. In the family compact (of which an ex.
tract has been published by ilk Government, at the request of the
Commission or the Diet) It is exressly stipulated with respect to
the appanaged Biome, trot they shall themselves provide for their
children ; but the t the dowry ter their daughters shall be raised by
the reigning Prince, by means of the Princess tax, which has at all
times been levied, because it was only on this condition that they

the loxes hitherto were such and such, and that they had been en:.

taxes there was another, namely, the Princess tax, which was levied
only in case of a marriage, to which the Diet did not make any ob-
jection whatever. 3. In the year l!trt the Permanent Committee of
the Diet was expressly informed of the marriage of the daughter of
Prince Charles, and that the usual Princess tax would be levied, to
which no objection was made.

THE tRITISII PRESS.

particular acrimony against the Church. That many are unarmed
in the faith, indisposed towards !minima authority, and actuated by
passionate zeal for their own tenets, can hardly be conalderel as
extraordinary ; but many there are, on the other hand, who diffbr
little from us in doctrine, entertain a respect fot the Church, and
have too much of real piety, to thwart the Views of the Clergy
when they tend to the public good. The crowds that resort to the
newly-built places of worship, give us reason to think, that tha
people in general are neither unfriendly to the Establishment, nor
indifferent to the Christian Religion. Infidelity, indeed, a few
years ago, obtained a seeming advantage from the political agitation
which then pervaded the country, and was louder and bolder than
word. But the effect was partial and transient, like the eruption of
plague or fever, and the infection appears to be rapidly weanng out.
We most not, however, suppose that It Is wholly extinguished :
till vice, perverseness, and folly, are banished from the world, some
persons will always be found to deny the truth of Revelation, and
trzat ita mysteries with contempt.
• " if it he objected, that these diseounes are negative, and there-
fore of small force, I answer that therefore they ate most proper to
assert such a negative proposition ; for how can we otherwise show
a thing not to be, than by showing it to have no footstep there,
where II is supposed to stand ? HOW can we. more clearly argue a
matter of right to want proof, than by declaring it not to be extant
in the laws grounding inch right, not taught by the masters who
profess to Instruct in catch things, not testified in records concerning
the exercise of It ? Such arguments indeed In such cases are not
merely negative, but rather privative; proving things not to be,
because not alirmed there, where in reason they ought to be af-
firmed ; standing therehwe upon positive suppositions that Holy
Scripture. that general tradition, are not imperfect and lame toward
their design; that ancient writers were competently intelligent,
filithful, diligent; that all of then, could not conspire in perpetual
silence about things, of which they had often fair occasion and great
reason to speak : in fine, such conaiderwiona, however they may be
eluded by sophistical wits, will yet bear great sway, and often will
amount near to the force of demonstration with men of honest pru-
dence." These remarks are cited (torn Barrow, who has treated
this part of rite argument with h s usual copiousness and power in
his admirable treatise on the Pope's Suprenumr, a work which
should be studied by every one who wishes to understand the sub.
ject thoroughly.—See Barrow's Works, v. 6. p. 202. °rind, 1818.

THE SUFFOLK CI1A:11PION.

warrants—first. for Itrt:.king the rme of John Bowioan ; and, se.

Captain It it .;nt.t.i. called on Bowman firs; to s;:ite his grievance.
Poor Bowman exhibited woful symptoms of the rullianly prowess
of the Suffolk champion. lie appeared with a large plaster on his
nose, and his eyes were in the retry horrible state. lie said that he
was sitting in the Wheat Sheaf public-house, on .Ilotolay week.
whe•o the Champion, as he called him, came in, anti. without the
slightest provocation on his part, struck him upon the note, and
broke it ; it hit it 114 four days coo:hat:illy, and two nicer, or bone

Cart r.t. asked the Champion what lie had to say for
himself?—The Champion said, ti•sit lie came into the miblieshouse
and they w•, As n l tiglviug throagli cad' other, and be only gently

Cap;iun RIC11,11:i.l. asked Bowman had he rot better settle
Bowman (belated that no tardily c(a.sideration would induce him
to isetCe it ; he certainly should puse(aite, and he dal it as nioch
for the public peace as for Ilk own s.ike ; he was hourly breaking
the hones of some industrious titan or other, without any cause
whatever. _

Cope said that nn Tuesday last he was passMg along Ronald.-

once changed, and finally she lit him, and remained under the
protection of the Champion for two years. About six months ago
he look her home. on a promise of reformation, and she conducted
herself toleraby well until she saw the Champion again. lire
conduct changed then so truth that she Actually struck him with a
fire-shovel on the hark, and inflicted a deep wound, and lie was
obliged, on Monday last, to bring her Wort. 31r. Ballantinc, and
have her hound over.

The Champion denied ever insulting him. lie was always one
of tilkhackeri, by which he won a great deal of 'Loney, and it was
a rty return he was going to make him ; he h id nn bail then
prepared, and hoped Capt. itichbell would permit hint to be at

Captain RICII ELL said that he could not comply with his re-

NEWMARKET 1711.5 T OCTOBER MEETING.

New MAR[t:T, SUNDAY.
The -acing season for 1526 apptostehes near its conclu-
sion—three Mettings, and the sporting world will have a
respite of five or six months from its precarious enjoy-
ments. The first of the October Meetings will commence
to-morrow, and terminate on Thursday ; it will be highly
interesting in many respects, and more particularly to the
betting circle, it being usual with several of the Nobility
and others, not at the Doncaster Races, to show (as it is
technically termed) at Newmarket in the next rate week,
for the purpose of settling their engagements on the Great
St. Leger, till which time it is impossible for any one to
strike a balance of profit or loss. Many very heavy ac-
counts still remain open, and it will he readily conceived
that not a few look forward to the ensuing week with touch
anxiety. if not apprehension. At present we have no reason
to anticipate any unfavourable results from the events of
the week.

Independent of the above, there is every appearance of
good sport, as the stakes, matches, and plates appointed
f r decision, are numerous and important. The Meeting,
however, will he divested of one of its principal attractions
by the continued indisposition of his Royal Highness the
I of York, which, of course, precludes the possibility
of every expectation of his Royal Highness's presence; the
cause and the consequence are equally the subject of regret.
It is also to beregretted that the decease of the amiable
Duchess of Rutland will occasion the discontinuance of the.
October Festivities at Clieveley, over which that lamented
lady presided. The gaiety which characterized Cheveley
last year is strongly contrasted by the melancholy which
distinguishes it now. Some arrivals have already taken
place, including the Duke of Grafton, Marquis of Graham,
Mr. Payne, and many other fashionables, whom we shall
notice in our next.

The Heath this morning was very well attended, many
of the crack horses being out at exercise, viz. Belzoni, The
Dragon, Crusader, The General, the Intetpleter filly, Ru-
fus, Don Carlos, Bolivar, Problem, Migno:.ette, Paul
Jones, Hacharl, Monarch, Adelizs, Parapline, Henrica,
Ariel, Hobgoblin, Tirailleur, Goshawk, Norman, Car-
thago, The Baron, Re. 31c., all of whom looked well.
Mr. Theakstone has fourteen young horses here, belonging
to Mr. Nowell, and forming part of his Underley stud:
they are to come under the hammer of Mr. Tattersall; they
arc likely to fetch good prices.

VlOO BAY COM PA NY.

.... . -
On Saturday, Mr. Wallace, a barrister, presented himself to be
sworn to a long affidavit.
The Alderman (Sir J. PEnniwo) desired to be made acquainted
with the applicant's object.
Mr. Wallace s:i.l he had commenced an action against the pro-
prietors of the fiforithq.. M-1-141, for aspersions on his character,
contained in articles nn the Vigo Play Joint Stock Company.
The attacks were, however. comintied, and hr woo advised by his
friends that he ought at once to refute the slar,ders by a solemn de-
nial on oath.

Sir JOHN PERRINO said the object of the affidavit cvldently
was to affect the public mind by its publics ion : and he was ap-
prehensive that by allowing the contradiction of the alleged libel
to be sanctioned by an oath, he should. perhaps, be the meal., of
prejudicing the minds of %nine of the Jury by whom the question
would he tried. Ile should therefore, decline adminiatermg the
oath, which, however, would not prevent 31r. Wallace publiahing
his statement in the newspapers as an advertisement.
INSANITY. _ _ _

HATTON-OARDEN.—OnSattlrday,; rather respectably dressed
man, named John Bides Barnett, was brought before tl. S. Laing,
Esq. charged with assaulting his own daughter, who was acco:u-
panied by her husband.
The latter informed the Magistrate that the defendant had been
held to bail only the day before for a similar outrage on his own
w de, bat from the extreme inconsistency of Isis conduct there could,
be no doubt but that the unfortunate man was subject to occasions'
seeerrations of mind. The as,ault which was now the subject of
complaint had been occasioned by the defendant making an attemp
on the life of his grand-child, an infant not more than three or four
years old, which he said he should kill, and then eat it ! The
mother, in her solicitude to protect the child. had excited his
anger, and he !wired her I y the throat, threw her on the door, and
would certainly have straogletl her, had not her shrieks excited
some cf the lodgers to cease to her relief'. The defendant had
latterly become so violent, particularly whenever he drank any
thing, that all his family were in continual fear of their
and as a peace warrant could have no restraint over a man derelict
of reason, it was hoped that the Magistrates would place him in
some permanent confinement.
The defendant. in answer to the Magistrate's questions, apeke
I rationally enough, but there was a wildness in his deportment
which tenticd to strengthen the auspicioas entertained as to his
sanity.
31r. (mixt; recommended that the defendant's friends Annie'
tconsult some medical gentlemen on the subject, who would a :vise
hem how they should dispose of hint.

THE HARP-P.:a', WEATHER, Ace.

The harvest throughout Wales has been gathered in ex,
cellent condition. The crops of !train are comparatively
good, except oats, which are very deficient ; and this crop
forms the chief produce of the poor araole lands. The
grain' in many parts was so short in the straw that neither
the sithe nor sickle could be used, and the harvesters were
in many places employed to pluck up the grain by the
roots ; and thus it was carried home, toots, stubble, anti
grain.
The change on the pastures In the vicinity of Edin-
burgh, ih consequence of the recent rains, is quite astonish-
ing. The fields have completely lest their htown and
scorched appearance, and assumed that lively green so de.
lightful to the eye, and which we are apt to consider as the
' appropriate vesture of spring rather than mantis's. After
} a summer so remarkably bright and warm, the ground re-
tained much heat, and was, in cen=equence, so dry, that a
i great portion of moisture was necessary to soften anti pot-
, verise the sod. The first showers, therefore, produced no
visible effect,/but the copious and frequent rains wh;ch
i have fallen within the last fortnight have awakened vege-
tation to a new and vigorous existence. 'f he stubble in
many fields is now quite concealed; and even the turf on
; the steepest parts of Arthur's Scat has exchanged. ba
russet colour for the fresh green of the meadows below.
A field of oats at Bandon, near Bradford, the property
of Mr. Ambler, has erodatvd thin year two crops of oats.
'Fhe first crop was mown in June, lar cattle, when it was
shooting into ear, and a fine seems! 'crop sprung up from
the roots, which has been harvestOd.
The weather, for several days past, though inclining to
frost in the evenings, has been calm, fair, and beautiful in
the extreme ; and what it not a little curious, the fields are
greener, anti the streams more limpid, than dry were in
May cr June. Fruit trees, honeysuckles, anti a great
variety of shrubs and flowers, are putting forth blossoms a
second time.—.4berdeen J9urnal.
Some apple tries in a garden at NVallsend have now the
second crop on them. Tile first crop was gathered last
month ; the trees hare since blossomed, and have not/
apples on them.
Tire quantity of rain calculated to have fallen in the city
of Bath only, from 11 o'clock on Tuesday night, Sept. sth.
to 10 o'clock on Wednesday night,bcing 23 hours, amounted
to 645,332 hogsheads; and would be more than sufficient
to fill a space, if placed in a tank or pond, whose contenta
would mvasure 500 feet long, 500 wide, and 20 deep.
Prime Herefordshire hops, which a short time :since
fetched from 16/. to .001., were purchased last week by a
brewer in Bath for 808.
The seeds of the sunflower are a most nutritious and
agreeable food for game and poultry. If given with barley,
it will generally be found that the sunflower seed will be
I picked out by chickens in pretelence: to the barley.
