London, England, 1837-05-25

By GEORGE TUCKER,

Professor of Mora; Philosophy in the University of Virginia.
" This work is written with remarkable care in the collection of
facts, and with more ability than any American publication of this
kind that we have ever read As a guide to the practical
working of the American Constitution it is of great value ; it not
only delineates the theory, but exhibits the application of every part
of the federal government."—Atlas.
" The present volumescontain many interesting papers, in which
the different questions that arose as to the internal regulations or
external relations of the government of which he was a member (as
Secretary of State under Washington), are discussed by him with
much clearness and acuteness ; and these papers not merely throw
much light upon the times in which he lived, but they furnish much
valuable matter in relation to the present period. Many of the ques-
tions which were then most fiercely debated still form the subjects
of discussion. The expediency of a national bank is not yet settled.
The disposal of the revenue, the continuance of slavery, the mutual
rights of the several States, both in reference to each other and to
the Union—all of these are matters upon which much difference of
opinion exists, and which it is necessary should be understood by
any one who wishes to be able to form a judgment upon the present
political condition and the state of parties in America. The author
of this life has executed his task with ability and discretion. He
undoubtedly entertains a bias in favour of the subject of the me-
moirs ; but this perhstps is scarcely more than is necessary to make
the execution of the work a pleasurable engagement. His comments
upon the opinions and actions he records are ordinarily just and
temperate ; and he points out with much fairness the many in-
stances in which the predictions of Jefferson have been justified by
the event, and the motives he attributed to his opponents have been
shown to be unfounded. The work is one which will be read with
pleasure, and it forms an important contribution to American his-
tory."-- Globe.

ARCHERY.

The St. George's Archers gave on Tuesday last a grand
fete at Bayswater, in honour of their patron Saint. Several
handsome prizes were contended for. The successful compe-
titors were—Captain Ansdell, Mr. Forsyth, Lieut. Dison,
Mr. Betty, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Cookeman. We arc happy
to state that not the slightest accident occurred, as the ground
was well marked out by the flags and banners of the society
The company sat down to dinner at seven o'clock ; several
loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and the evening concluded
with much hilarity.

On May-eve the people of the Isle of Man have
from time immemorial burned all the whin bushes in the island,
conceiving that they burn the witches and the fairies, which
are believed by them to take refuge there. After sunset the
island presented the appearance of an universal conflagration ;
and to the stranger to our customs it must appear most strange
to see old and young persons gathering peculiar herbs, and
placing them at their doors and in their dwellings for the pur-
pose of preventing the entrance of " warlocks."—Mona's
Herald.

On Saturday morning, as Joseph Webster was re-
turning from Thorpe Hesley, through a wood called Oaking-
reane Wood, he found a man suspended by a silk lidndkerchief
to a bough of one of the trees. Information was immediately
given to Isaac Ashforth, the constable of Scholes, and every
possible inquiry made to ascertain who the man was, when it
was discovered that his name was James Smedley, a nail-
maker, residing at Clarbro', near Retford. The deceased
hung himself, being at the time of unsound mind. —Sheffield

THE PRINCIPLES of ENGLISH GRAM-
MAR.
By DAVID BOOTH,
Author of the " Analytical Dictionary."
" This is a very good little manual. It gives a reason for every-
thing, and is as plain as any treatise on the subject can be. It
contains, too, in' a very small compass, a greater quantity of useful
matter than we have ever seen in any other elementary treatise of
English Grammar. Its etymological division is admirably exe-
cuted ; we have, above all, been pleased with the manner in which
the indeclinable parts of speech—adverbs, conjunctions, preposi-
tions, &c., are explained. We recommend the volume to every
young student. We say student since it is not adapted for chil-
dren."—Atlas.

" Mr. Booth admits that' he cannot conscientiously recommend
his work as fitted for children—indeed, he knows no book of the
kind that is so ;' and we agree with him, that the attempt to teach
Grammar to little children is a cruel mockery and absurdity which,
ere long, we hope to see exploded. His Grammar is by no means
a very elementary book ; it is not a work for young persons to begin
with ; it is rather a second book, from which those who have pre-
viously gone through Grammar may derive much valuable and cu-
rious information connected with their mother tongue, and with the
philosophy of language."—The Guide.

" These are two remarkable volumes. Though evidently the
composition of a hand not much practised in the craft of author-
ship, they contain much eloquence and much wisdom. They
abound with philosophical sentiments, with classical allusions;
and they cannot be read without forcing us to think, while the
imagination is gratified by the poetic spirit which pervades them."

IN O.
A CAPITAL FREEHOLDNORTHAMPT ESTATE,NSHIRE BORDERING on the
VILLAGE of THORNBY, TEN MILES from NOR-
THAMPTON ; 295 ACRES of SUPERIOR LAND, with
a GENTLE3IANLY FARMHOUSE, GARDEN, and
PLEASURE GROUNDS.
TO BE SOLD BY- AUCTION
BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the George Hotel, Northampton, on SATURDAY, the 10th of
June, at Twelve far One exactly.
A Singularly eligible FREEHOLD ESTATE.
It comprehends aferme ornee in its literal sense and
293 ACRES of LAND of the HIGHEST QUALITY,
every acre of a convertible character. The situation is delightfully
pleasant, bordering upon the rural village of Thornby, on the
road from
NORTHAMPTON to WELFORD and LEICESTER,
surrounded (it will be seen) by some of the best markets in England,
independently of the
BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY,

which approaches within four miles, by which the highest prices
may always be obtained for the produce. The estate is in a ring-
fence, bounded for more than a mile by a trout stream, yielding at
all seasons abundance of trout ; it presents altogether an opportunity
FOR TRUSTEES to INVEST in SECURITY,
which almost defies a comparison. A Gentleman inclined to field
sports, and not disinclined to the pecuniary advantages appertaining
to first-rate land, will find this estate a " God-send." It is in the
centre of the Old Pytchloy Hunt, and, from its noted .overt:, may
be said to be the main spring, with game in great abundance. The
grounds are beautifully undulated, and Park-like, surrounied by the
best public and private roads, and in a neighbonrhOod famed for its
respectability and high social qualities. The poor rates are very
low. As an investment it is altogether faultless, and is strongly
recommended to those who are prone to safety. It should have
been stated that the farming buildings are all excellent, and upon a
large scale, in character to harmonise with the villa. It is in the
occupation of Mr. Thomas White, an unexceptionable tenant, front
year to year, at the reduced rent of
FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
_

The Estate can be viewed, twenty-one days prior to the sale, with
permission of the tenant, and particulars had at the Sugar Loaf,
Dunstable ; Swan, Newport ; George, Northampton ; Swan,
Market Harberough ; Wheatsheaf, Daventry ; Talbot, Welford ;

THE BRITISH MARINES.

Mr. MACLEAN begged to ask the Secretary of the Ad-
miralty, whether he had received any dispatches communicat-
ing the intelligence of an address presented by the National
Guards of Barcelona to the Queen of Spain, charging tine
British Marines with conduct,:which, if true, was disgraceful
to the British arms.

Mr. C. WOOD—What was the charge ?
Mr. MACLEAN—That they had steeped their bayonets in
the blood of their allies.

Mr. C. AN 0 OD—I can state most distinctly that the charge
is untrue.—( Loud cheers.) I have had accounts from the
Officer commanding the British Marines in that part of Spain,
and although a certain portion of the troops were landed they
took no part whatever in the hostilities which were going
forward.

Mr. MACLEAN was quite certain they were most grossly
libelled, and he begged to know whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman had any objection to lay the dispatches which he
had received upon the table, in order that the character of the
British Marines might be fully vindicated.

Mr. WOOD did not think it right to assent to the Hon.
Member's demand, he having given him no previous intimation
of the question, so that he might have looked over the dis-
patches. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUMPHRIES presented a petition from 6,200 inha-
bitants of Southwark in favour of the abolition of Church-
rates.

v the suspension of rash payments In any mercan:ile com-

of all the measures of the Government, and the practice of
hoarding privately, which was understood to have become very
prevalent, the :vecio was at length drawing away from the
country. Three in an apparent desire, however, on the part
Of the Nevi York journals to malge the amount exported much
greater than it. really is, and it is certain that the late returns
by the Packets are very considerably under that estimate.
When it is said that from 3,000,000 thAlars to 3,000,000 dol.
lars has left the States since the stoppage of the banks on the
10th of May, one naturally inquires what has become of it, and
on this head it is not easy to obtain any precise information.
The rctuns by the packets have hitherto been very small,
and arrivals by other vessels would be sure to have publicity
given to them by parti,s to whom it is important to li,ve such
facts made known. It is nevertheless probable, from the
various circumstances disclosed in these accounts, which come
down to the 16th ult., the specie .roust now be obtained to
some extent from America. An idea existed in New York,
and was very general, that in consequence of the stoppage of
the banks, the Bank of England would also be compelled to
atop payment, but a more illogical piece of reasoning could
hardly be adopted. Our ban.: has, it is true, a much smaller
stock than there ought to be, and is ill-prepared
for any o•nyf bulliongreatfrei gn or domestic demand, but so far the -
danger has been lessened, instadincoli
dent has any result, the '
being increased, by the stoppage of the American banks.
The arrivals at New York from this country show a won-
derful falling off in trade. One ispacket mentioned as having
only brought freight to the value of 300/. This, though an
evil in itself, is the only out of the difficulty ; and it is
way,
well remarked by one of the -
journals, that " large remittances
of money and cotton one way, and little or no importation,
will soon place matters on a better footing."
A total revolution in the money-market of New York, had
been brought about by the stoppage of the banks, and they
were no longer in a state to levy those exorbitant and ruinous
contributions from the merchants nhich previously existed.
Instead of from 24 to 3U per cent., the rate was from 7 to 9
per cent. per annum. Sc destructive as) stem never before

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1837.

Our Saturday's impression contained an excel-
lent address from Mr. WARD to the electors of Shef-
field. The Hon. Gent!eman, it is almost unnecessary
to inform our readers, was some time ago invited by
a large and influential portion of the constituency to
become a candidate for the representation of that town
at the next election. This was a tribute alike honour-
able to both parties—to the people of Sheffield for
selecting as their representative a man of tried prin-
ciple and superior talents, and to Mr. WARD for
having a testimony so ample and strong borne to his
Parliamentary services in :the cause of Reform. In.
deed, we may safely say that it would be difficult to
point out a man among the whole 658 representatives
of the people more deserving of popular confidence
than Mr. WARD. He has been a zealous, but by no
means - a thick-and-thin, supporter of the MEL-
BOURNE Administration. He has never surrendered
either his judgment or his conscience to the keep-
ing of other men, but fearlessly maintained the
rights of both ; anxious to advance the cause of
improvement, and therefore never weakening, by in-
judicious and ill-
timed invectives, the moral force
of the reforming Government, even when he might not
altogether approve of its proceedings ; but at the same
time never encouraging by his sanction any,
even the
slightest departure from what he considered a public
principle. Such splenetic effusions, whether regarded
las a means of acquiring note:iety, or as clap-traps for
popularity, he has always. disdained to resort to, leaving

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1837.

The Imprisonment for Debt Bill passed the second read-
ing in the House of Lords last night. We are not war-
ranted, however, in concluding from this seemingly favour-
able omen that all will go well with the Bill. Lord
LYNDHURST made a fierce attack upon it—so fierce, indeed,
that we are persuaded he would, but for the odium attached
to such a course, have thrown it out at once. The "alien"
Baron knows well how he stands in public opinion, and
therefore prudently avoids all unnecessary occasions of
adding to his unpopularity. Instead of moving, as a
manly opponent of the measure would have done, that
the Bill should be thrown out, Lord LYNDHURST
proposed that it should be referred to a Select Committee
above stairs. This Committee will consist of the law Lords,
and as a majority of them are on the Opposition side of the
House, the measure will come down so mutilated, that its
advocates will prefer withdrawing it to its passing in a state
of emasculation that must render it ineffectual to any good
purpose.
The object of this Bill, as our readers are aware, is
to do away with that barbarous law which gives to a
creditor the power of seizing the person of his debtor,
and immuring it in a gaol the instant the debt amounts,
by fair means or foul, to twenty pounds. All that is re-
quired to deprive a British subject of his liberty, and in
many cases to ruin his future as well as his present pros-
pects, is the oath of any one person, no matter how un-
worthy of belief, that the sum of twenty pounds is due
to him. Such is the tenure by which Englishmen
hold that which they are said to prize more than
life t And yet, with this blot upon the national
brow—with the consciousness that in the Statute-book of
his country, personal freedom, the greatest of social bles-
sings, is appraised at the value of 201., the Englishman has

ous to the peace of the kingdom. Had the prosecution
against the Courrier Francais succeeded what differ-
ence would it have made ? The editor would have
been sentenced to fine and imprisonment, but that
opinion of which he was the representative could not
be locked up within his prison walls—could not be
chained in the silence and solitude of the deepest
dungeon in any French Bastile. The journalist
might be deprived of pen, ink, and paper, and even
the " desperate charcoal" placed beyond his reach,
but the power of public opinion cannot be restrained
by iron bars. If the King of the French could seize
every printing Press within Iris dominions, and Persil
could apply the torch and consume them in one great
bonfire, the voice of public opinion would still make
itself heard, and startle the Minister-Monarch, sur-
rounded with a triple row of guards and parasites in
his council chamber. Let him then take the Charter
for his guide. Let him select wise and just
men as Ministers, but cease to be a Minister himself,
and he will never again be alarmed at the doctrine of
kingly responsibility.—Herald.

CHANCERY

{THIS DAY.)

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. IRONMONGERS' COMPANY.
It will be recollected by our readers that the information
in this case related to Betton's charity. The property in
dispute was left to the Ironmongers' Company in trust for
the redemption of slaves in Turkey and Barbary. The
trustees no longer being able to discover proper objects for
the charity, the information was filed, praying the judgment
of the Court for a scheme to be sent to the Master ; and
a decree was obtained from the Court, directing the Mas-
ter to approve of a proper scheme.
Sir WILLIAm HORNE now appeared in support of the
petition of the relators, which prayed that the Master
might be directed to receive and take into consideration
and proceed upon a scheme or proposal carried in by the
relators. The Learned Counsel observed that the relators
were as much entitled to propose a scheme as the defend-
ants, and he could not conceive on what ground it was the
Master had refused to proceed with it. The only object
of the petitioners was, to have the matter brought to a
final conclusion.
Messrs. WIGRAM and DUCKWORTH, for the Ironmongers'
Company, contended that the petition was altogether irre-
gular. The proper course was to let the Master proceed
in the way he thought proper, and then; after the report
was made, for those who were dissatisfied with it, to take
exceptions. The solicitors for the relators had issued an
advertisement, stating that all Charities, corporate or in-
corporate, might go into the Master's Office and propose a
claim to the charity, provided each charity deposited 101.
with them, to answer extra costs. This was the scheme
that was now sought to be carried in before the Master ;
and the Learned Counsel, therefore, trusted the Court
would dismiss the petition with costs.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing the reply, ob-
served that he believed it was not usual pending proceed-
ings in the Master's Office to give directions to the Master ;
but in this case a great many months had elapsed without
the relators being allowed to carry in any scheme at all.
He did not think that was a correct mode of proceeding.
Although he should not make any order, yet his Lordship
wished that what he had thrown out might be intimated to
the Master.

Hands and Lips, &c.
Prepared only by C. May, Reading. If by the use of hard water or ex-
posure to cold winds, the face becomes rough, or the hands or lips chap-
ped, one or two applications only of the Medicated Honey will prove an
infallible remedy, and show a decided superiority to Cold Cream, Lip
Salve, or Pomade Divine. It may be used on the most delicate infant;
imparts an agreeable perfume, and if used, as directed, will not leave the
skin in the least degree sticky or uncomfortable. Gentlemen who are
inconvenienced by shaving, and mothers who suffer by nursing, would be
spared much inconvenience and pain by using the Medicated Honey.

STEAM NAVIGATION IN TURKEY

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 14.—The Austrian Steam Na-
vigation Company is, I understand, expecting from England
an additional steamer, the Prince Metternich, which is to
be employed in performing regular voyages between Con-
stantinople and Trebisond. The success steam navigation
has met with in Turkey has been such as to convince the
directors of the company of the advantages to be relied upon
from connecting with the already established line of commu-
nication between Vienna and Smyrna a port which, in the
space of a few years, owing to the increase of the export and
import trade with Persia and Asia-Minor, has become one
of the principal scalas in the Levant. On the introduction
of steam-vessels into this country by European speculators,
the satellites of Russia, faithfill observers of Count Nessel-
rode's comprehensive instruction—" prevent good, promote
evil "—called into play every means the genius of intrigue
suggested, in order to thwart an undertaking so eminently
calculated to prove beneficial to Turkey. For a while they
turned the cupidity, the prejudices, the credulity of several
among the Turkish Ministers into instruments, which so
admirably served their purpose, that most of the individuals
who had engaged in the enterprise had made up their minds
to renounce it. The Reis Effendi sought to impose a tax
on their steam-vessels, to subject them to the right of search,
and his proposals, little to Baron Sturmas credit be it said,
met with Austria's representative's ready assent. Lord Pon-
sonby's notions of the dignity of the British nation being
widely different from those entertained by the internuncio
with regard to his own, the Turkish Ministry was peremp-
torily told that England could never consent that vessels
under her flag should be subjected to insults so outrageous.
The consequence of this spirited remonstrance was the re-
nunciation of their illegal claims on the part of the Turkish
Minister, and the deliverance of the Austrian flag from the
humiliating yoke under which it had been placed. The
Reis Effendi and the Capitan Pasha attempted for some time
to prevent Turkish subjects from taking passage on board
European steamers, but experience had so clearly demon-
strated the immense advantages of this mode of convey-
ance, both to the Government and to the public, that the
Divan refused to consent to so illiberal and injurious a
measure being carried into execution. How very far he
has been from partaking in the narrow-minded views of
his two Ministers the Buhr has lately fully proved, by
engaging an English 'and Austrian steamer during lus trip
