ENGLISH HEROISM.
The following affecting story is transhtted from the
Munilcur ; and we know not whether the heroism of
the English sailors, or tte generous enthusiasm with
which the French editor 'raises oar countrymen, will
be most interesting to our readers;—
'• CALAIS, APItII. 17.—Y1Stertlily the wind, blowing from
N.N.E. with estrenw tinleri•e, had rendered the sea fright
furs and all approach to tree Coast dangerone, a hen about
eleven o•chrck A. M. the timt of high water, there was seen a
small Fr-ick vessel (which n since; known to be the Lemeire,
from L'Ot ieut,of 12 tons, seven men, honed from Nantes
to Dunkirk, with a cal go of grain), beating up painfully
against the fury of the waves. The captain, Huard, think-
ing, no doubt, that it would be safer to attempt entering the
port of Calais than lying out to sea, determined on the former;
and, although he had neither a pilot um board, nor any per-
sonal knowledge of the enlist, he hazarded an eftlirt to carry
it into execution ; but, oveipowered by the force of the winds,
the eurreufs,And the waver, he was driven on the works to
the east of the port, where he atruck. The dancer soon be-
came imminent, and the wrecks thrown on shore announced
the certain death of the sewn unfortunate mariners. Nome.
rolls witnesses of this scema of desolation lamented that they
could offer no assistance. At this moment there was seen
advancing,, with force of oars, a pinnace boat sent brim the
British yacht culled the Royal Sovereign, which had carried
to this port the Duke of (lr•leans some days ago. This boat,
commanded by Lieutenant Charles Moore, who had nudes
him eight sailors from the trew of the yacht, advanced with
intrepidity in spite of the dangers by which it was surround-
ed. Captain Owen, the commander of the yacht, disalaying
a zeal worthy of the greatest praise, stood upon the extremity
of the pier, awl cheered by his gestures and his voice the
brave and intrepid lieutenant mid his eight sailors, and al-
though he was ineessabtly covered with the waves that dashed
against the pier, he perseveringly maintained his painful and
dangerous position for the purpose of pointing out, together
with M. Sagot, the port captain, and sonic other French offi-
cers, the measures proper to he adopted, and of adding, if
possible, to the necessary means Of assistance.
" tip to this time the danger had been increasing on board
the wrecked vessel, and already haul several men lost their
lives, when three were seen still to survive, and to implore
assistance. Meanwhile, the generous :111.1 intrepid Lieutenant
Moore, with his eight seamen, neglected no effort. At last
they readied within a little distance of the wreck, and by
means of a rope which they threw out to the vessel, saved two
of these unfortunate men, Not being able longer to keep
their position, the boat returned to the pier to land these two,
when Captain Wilkinson, the master of the English packet
the Dart, of Dover, generously threw himself into the boat,
at the hazard of his life, to assist in this mann•uvre. '!•here
remained still oil the wreck, another survivor, who had bound
himself to the mast with a rope, that he might nut be washed
overboard. The desire of crowning this tine action by resell-
ing another victim front the wave•, inspired regrets into the
c.'m•aCcous lieutenant and his crew. They returned anew to
t:tve a danger the force of which they had already measured,
and bad neatly readied the boat, the gallant lieutenant stand-
ing lip and directing the rowers, when a wave, more impetuous
than the rest, broke over the pinnace, overthrew and
preei-
pitatcd into (hi' waters this generous officer, who instantly
disappeared. feeling of consternation struck with terror
and regret the iiiiii memo% spectators of the scene. The lieu-
tenant, however, after baying passed folds Twat, reco-
vered himself, and rose to the surface, where he was imme-
diately taken up by his sailors, and replaced in the boat.
The courage of this generous man was not slackened by the
threatoted death which he had so miraculously escaped ; lie
lost not the presence of mind that haaatto to sereepidity,
and he returned with heroic perseverance towards the pe-
rishing individual for whose safety he hazarded his own.
The difficulties of the situation increased ; the French sailor,
too notch weakened, haul lost courage, hut seeing the boat
eturn to his assistance, he unbound himself, and, endeavour-
ing to make an effort for his own salvation, lie precipitated
himself into the sea, where he was seen to Boat for an instant,
and then to sink for ever. All assistance haul now become
useless; the English boat now returned to port, where the
generous meu who had given so noble an example of their
rare intrepidity received the testimonies of that satisfaction
WWI which every spectator was so deeply penetrated.
" Yesterday evening, on the ebbing of the tide, the wrecked
vessel was left on the dry sand, and a part of the corn was got
out ; the greatest part of the cargo, however, Will be lost."

On Saturday morning last, the appeals of the Scissor-
grinders against the conviction of the Bench of Magistrates at
Sheffield, for a combination against Mears. Rhodes, Chains
pioo, sold Son, and Mr. Joseph Skidmore, came on for trial
at Pontefract Sessions. After a hearing of three hours, all
the couvictions were quashed. Mr. Fisher, the evidence on
a hose testimony the ease principally rested, exhibited on
this occasion a species of effrontery and wickedness nut often
paralleled in a Conti ofJustiee. his recollection of what
tail passed at the illegal meetings held by the Grinders for
the purpose of controlling and oppressing their employers,
and which was so very clear and circumstantial before the
Bench of Magistrates at Sheffield, entirely forsook Ilion at
Pontefract. He knew nothong of any meetings or combina-
tions, the existence of which Nei had previonsly sworn to:
nay, he pretended not even to recollect that lie had ever been
examined on the subject. The Chairman of the Sessions J.
A. S. Wortley, Esq. informed witness that he had before hiin
the whole of the evidelec which he (Fisher) had given to
the Bench at Sheffield, to the truth of which he had been
solemnly sworn, and the worthy Magistrate endeavoured to
impress the wiintss whir a sense of the consequences that
might ensue to Monet' from the • sion Of deliberate and
wicked perjury. He, however, pet se \ ereil lot denying, and
forgetting all he had before stated. Ile was ordered to be
imprisoned until the rising of the ('ours; the Chairman at
the itil:ne time intimating, that he w have to answer all
iiplicimesotf or wilful afoul corrupt perjuiy, which should cer-
tainly be preferred against him. Thus loy means too horrid
almost to contem;tlate have those prosecutions terminated,

LONDON:
MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1817*

THE intelligence from the continent during the last
week is nut of an interesting nature.
A new version of the plan fur assassinating the Crown
Prince of Sweden is contained in the Brussels Papers,
which, if well tbunded, would throw an air of some-
thing like ridicule upon the whole story. We are there
informed, that the rumour arose from the zealous vigi-
lance of a loyal but unlearned French cook ; who, hav-
ing acquired but a few Swedish phrases, fancied he heard
some great men talk of " poisoning" two Princes, when
the words merely signified "mgrrying" them. The
cook, fancying it was all the same thing, ran away with
his discovery to the Government.
It is stated in accounts from Frankfort, that the wife
of the Crown Prince of Sweden is expected there, and
that the wife of Joseph Buonaparte, her sister, who re-
bides there, is going out to meet her. The ex-Kin.. of
Sweden resides in that city with his children, so that
be will have the satisfaction of living in the same society
with the wife of the heir to his throne.
Letters and papers have been received from New
South Wales to the Ist of August. They give a favour-
able report of the improvement of that colony. Govern-
or Macquarrie had ordered. a survey to be had of Van
Diewan's Land ; it had been completed in 39 days.—
Several excellent harbours had been discovered. The
advertisements in the Sydney Gaz,rite are of consider-
able interest, in conveying an idea of the great improve-
ments in every description of European mane facture, of 1
East India goods, West India produce, &c. They have
their theatre, their Hyde, their races, and every des-
cription of amusement— ngland in miniature.

The Duke of Welling, m arrived in London On Mon-
day morning, so early 4 five o'clock, accompanied by a
single Aide-de-Camß. 'After his Grace had visited his
family and taken some refreshment, he ordered his pri-
e,4t4: earri.v.-,0, and paid several early morning visits.--
A., i,, ;we o'clock he paid his respects to toe Priem

ThE NATIONAL RtGISTER.

Regent at Carleton-house, aril KM a long private audi-
ewe of his Royal Ilighnet:s pnvious to the Levee.—
His Grace was dressed, in the early part of the morn-
ing in a plain blue frock, aft waltied through several
streets and squanis at the wea end of the town, without
being recognised, except by a fcw. Previous to his visit
to Carlton house, his Grace weut home, and put on a
superb Field Marshal's uniform.

His Grace the Duke of Wellington went down on
Friday last to spend the day wi►ii his bre4ther, the
Marquis Wellesley, at his- Loriship's residence on Rich-
niond.terrace.

The Duke of Wellington is expected to remain in
England about two months: at least, it is undersum.
that he wili stay till after the evremony of opening the
Waterloo Britlgks, which, it iiexpectel will take plate
on the 18th of June, tae anniversary of the nentiora-
ble battle of ‘Vaterloo. It is untoured that his Grace
will accompany the Prince Regent in going over the
bridge, and that they win pay the hest regular toll to
be demanded front that period.
VIENNA, APHIL 1 I.—The princess of Wales arrived
here iu the night betire last, about o'clock, under the
name of Duchess of Cornwallis (Cornwall), acannpanied
with a suite of fifteen persons, and was set down at the
hotel of the Empress of Austria. A courier from Mu-
nich had previousty announced that her Royal High-
ness was coming, and that she intended to slight at tile
Engtis:i Atnuassattur's (Lord. Stewart); nut he went
away the evening before for his country seat at linsee.
The Minister of the kingdom of Hanover (Alexander
Count Hardenburg) &Unwed his example, and she,
absented himself'; so that the Princess was obliged to
alight ut a public. hotel. The Court sent to her a
chamberlain, to wait upon her; and, although she ob-
served the strictest incognito, as the Court Gazette
this day announces, the Princess, however, paid a
visit to the Empress. She will go away to-morrow,
and travel through Laybaeh, Trieste, and Venice, un
her return to her beautiful seat at Garovo, on the lake
of Coino. It thus appears, that the disagivements be-
tween the domestics of the Princess and the intiabi-
tants of Como were not very serious. These quarrels,
indeed, are attributed to the jealousy of some husbands
at Cone,. It is not known what are the reasons which
have dissuaded the Princess from her projected jourpey
to Paris, and thence, with all her attendants, to Eng-
land; but it is now again asserted, mat she will wane
an excursion mow Persia in tee course of the year.
Extract of a letter.—" Buonaparte has of late had
fourteen ientinels placed round his house, who are kept
at a distance in the day-time, but draw up close towards
night. The number has been increased since he at-
tempted to make his escape in a lumber chest, which
which was deiCated, and since which he has seldom ap-
peared out of his own house. Oar intbrmant says, thst
three soldiers of the ziSd regiment, who were only en-
lhaad roe do:won yew..., and whose term had expired,
came home in the Adamant, every one of whom were
on guard the night the intended escape was detected."

The observations which have hitherto been offered
on the subject of tithes, have treated it as a revenue
arising from landed produce, wholly applicable to the
support of the clergy of the establishment, but they
have wholly lost sight of the great number of lay-iu►-
proprietors who derive an indefeasible title to their
tithes, as certain and assured as to any of their other
estates, so that when writers and advocates assert that
tithes are a Lad way to maintain the church, they 1,
'Urge! that these also derive their support from them.
'l'i►csc tithes have been so well established by the laws
they pass in the market, as freely us any other property,
