DREAIWU 1. ACCIDENT.

-- ---
Wednesday evening, as a young woman, with a child in her
arms, was crwsieg the Strand at the foot of Catharine street, her
foot slipped, and the child fell out of her arms. A Gentleman's
carriage was passing violently at the time ; and the coachmas
though called to stop, by a boy belonging to Messrs. Anstey and
Co. linen-drapers, immediately opposite, drove on, and one of the
wheels went over the head of the infant. who was conveyed int:,
the shop of Mr. Stanton, surgeon, dreadfully lacerated, Nod
died almost immediately afterwards. The carriage drove on with
the same rapidity through Temple-bar, and along Fleet-street.
amidst the cries of" stop eoarh, murder !" but in vain. It had
a yellow body and plated mouldings; the coachman wore a ;LA
blue or brown livery, and drove bay horses. There wasno foot-
man behind. The child was the son of Mr. Penny. varnish-maker.
in I,nng Acre —We hope the coachman will be discovered, fur
his conduct was most criminal.—A Coroner's Inquest sat on the
body of the child on Friday, when a Verdict was returned
" That the' Child came by its death through the extreme negli-
gence of the Coachman, and a dendand of 501. was orderc4
to
be levied on the coach."

The resources of the 11 ussian empire are very great:
and v c risk nothing in advancing greater than those of
any other state on the continent. [ter population is Cx•-
treniely numerous, bold, inured to hardship, and accus-
tomed to privation ;—strongly tinctured with national va-
nity, extremely attached to their country, possessed of
strong active bodies, and possessing uncommon docility
and sersatility of intellect ; a proof of which is the no un-
common circumstance of Russian noblemen speaking the
French, German, Italian, and sometimes English, with
uncommon facility and elegance; and common Russians,
who have travelled through the continent in the character
of servants, ha, .;hewn still greater proficiency than their
uristers in this respect. It is astonishing shat vivacity
aad alertness they display in their national amusements;
and their fidelity to their engagements and attachment to
their masters, arc greater than is to be found in any other
people. With such qualities, it would be absurd to deny
they are qualified for war. It w ill be asked then why their
exertions and success have not been proportionate to their
moral and national resources t A satklactory explanation
of this circumstance would cairy us further than the ex-
tent of a newspaper will permit.

The Finances of a country, when trade and manufac-
tures are still in a state of infancy, cannot be very con-
siderable. The nobility, who possess almost exclusive!)
the !muted property, enjoy, as is the case under every
Feudal Government, very great immunities. This exemp-
ton, together with the poverty of the lower class, the
tact projects of amelioration the Government has been
c engaged in, and the Asiatic magnificence of the
court, formed insurmountable impediments to the ambi-
tidt:s sicws of that cabinet. The Finances, which do not
amount to 10,000,000 of our money, are consequently in-
adequate for the purpose of carrying on warlike operations
on an extensive scale, and at a distance from their fron-
tiers. These observations will still have greater weight in
the present reign, when we reflect on the mild and humane
character of the present Emperor, who was averse to any
augmentation of the ',Luther's on his people. It was this
humanity on his part, jawed tv the dissatisfaction ,be must

discovered that the power of Russia was a mere shadow,
and be declared to Europe, immediately after, the battle
of Austerlitz, that it was fir inferior to that of Austria,
and eve,' to that of Prussia. Hut Bouaparte has conducted
himself with much greater inconsis:ency than our Jour-
nalists ; for immediately after this declaration, he mani-
fested ro small degree of disippointvnent and rage that the
treat b.;tween d'Oubril and Talleyrand had not been rati-
fied by the Emperor Alexander. This circumstance at
11:nst affords a strong surmise that his contemptuous opi-
nion of the resources of that country was regulated by his
int:Test at that time. Ile seems also to entertain a different
ilea at present; for 4iefilsome compliments which are
paid Alexander iii tke .Voniteur, ere a literal translation
of those, which our Journalists SD profusely heaped on him
after Cie battle of Pvlan. But their motives were diffe-
rent. These profound Statesmen were-perfectly well ac-
quainted with the weakness of tint Fovereign's means,
and only prrAicted his surcescja, resistance to Gallic inva-
ders, in order to encourage him to srspernalnral exertions.

have felt at the inactivity of A ustria, after all the aims he
and his father had made in favor of that State, but above all
the indigation he must have suffered at the unaccountable
remissness and indifference of the Grenville Administration,
which frustrated the sanguine expectations which were
formed in this country and on the Continent, of the metes-
ful resistance of the Russians. Under all these disad-
vantages, boy/ever, with an army of, about JOO,OOO, they
maintained an obstinate contest of more than eight months
against all the armies of France. And vs hencver the me-
ment arrives that she awakes from her present disgraceful
stupor, her exertions will be equal to her ancient reputa-
tion. The character and energy of the Government halve
so much influence on those of the people, that it is no nay
difficult to discover why that nation has descended, during
the present reign, from the eminence it stood on, under
the vigorous Administration of Catherine. As soon as our
friendly connexions with that Court .are renewed, and that
period is not very remote, we can easily recover our for-
mer influence in its co:nu:ifs. The present Emperor has
nlways manifested a decided partiality for this country ;
and if we are happier in our choice of diplomatic
than we have been hitherto, we could render the resourrN
of that empire more efThctutil towards the deliverance of
Europe, than it is now fashionable to suppose.

puniaing, should exceed the enormity of the offences, whether
Civil or criminal. Pe should thto•cfo:e propose that ever

this inconvenience that the Bill was submitted. In future it

Di UMBER EIGHTEEN.

ON " THE BILL FOR BETTERING THE CONDI-

TIOX OF STIPENDIARY CURATES."

--.,,,,mi1.-

The condition of the inferior Clergy in this kingdom has
long been matter of lamentation with rational and equit-
able men : but except the donation which was made by
Queen June, of certain revenues resulting to the Crown
from rich benefices, (a donation commonly known by the
name of Queen .zinne's Bounly,) nothing material has
hitherto been effected for the amelioration of their cir-
cumstances. A Bill is at length however pending in the
House of Commons, from which some benefit is undoubt-
edly to be expected : and although we are not of opinion
that it remedies, in one tenth part, the grievances which
are allowed to exist, yet we are glad to catch at a little
benefit in the absence of complete alleviation, and we hail
this Bill with the more satisfaction, because it does not ap-
pear to preclude the possibility of further reformation.
This Bill enacts, that in all cases where a spiritual per-
son shall he non-resident for more than three months to-
rethei, or four months at several times in.one year, it shall
be lawful for the Bishop to assign to the Curate a salary,
which, with his former stipend, shall not exceed one-fifth
of the usual value of the benefice, if that value shall exceed
four hundred pounds clear of all expellees but the payment
of the Curate; and it the spiritual person shall have omit-
ted to nominate a Curate, and shall neglect to do so after
monition from the Bishop, the Bishop may appoint a Cu-
rate, with such salary as aforesaid, and may assign a resi-
ante in the Parsonage house, or an allowance not ex-
ceeding thirty pounds in lieu thereof—Provided nevertheless
that in no case the salary shall exceed 250/. per annum,
tnleis with consent of the incumbent, who shall have the
power of returning to his residence at any time giving six
months notice. The Bishop's authority is to be exercised
in a summary way, and comprises powers of revocation :
and from the Bishop there is an appeal to the Archbishop
both for the Incumbent, and for the Curate, the appellant
'riving security for costs. Spiritual persons, in every no-
thiTrition of a Curate, are to state the amnia' sum agreed
to he allowed, and the annual value'of the benefice : and
all ii:;reenieuts whereby a Curate may undertake to accept
1,-;, than the Bishop or Archbishop is enabled to grant, or
than shall be stated in the nomination, shall be void, and
the Curate shall be entitled in law to recover the re-
mainder.
It will be easily seen that the number of persons who
(in be benefited by this Bill must be very small indeed.
For it makes no provision for any but Curates, and the
provision that it makes for Curates i 5 a provision only for
i !t: Curates of benefices worth more than 400/. a-year.
ow the number of benefices worth more than 4001. a-year
s very'small in proportion to the number of benefices of
Ac AVlll.—Vol. I.
