London, England, 1825-03-22

The old annuitants, or rather creditors on the road, will not
receive their interest, and as for the principal they can never
expect that. The occupiers of lands on the line of road must
submit to the everlasting imposition of keeping the road in re-
pair, entirely at their own expellee, and pay toll for the very
road o n which they
have expended their money and labour ;
antithose who c
foolish enough to lend their money cannot
a
ever expect to sn either principal or interest.
If such measures are sufferer to be carried into effect without
oppositlon,
h
, and the parties interested and the Public will tamely
submit to such proceedings, they may repent at their leisure.

VERITAS.
N. 8.--Fora period of forty years not a single labourer has
been employed on the road by the Commissioners. This is pre.
any line of road in the
kingdsttniedomto be without precedent on

BEER DUTIES.
Mr. MABERLY presented a Petition from the parish of
St. Leonard, Shoreditch, praying for a repeal of the Beer Du-
ties. The Hon. Member said it was legislating one way for
the rich and another for the poor when the wine duties were
diminished, whilst the monstrous tax OR beer, which was so
important to the lower orders, was still retained. He hoped to
have an opportunity of' calling the special attention of the
House to this subject on an early day.
Sir T. LEIPI3 RIDGE presented a Petition from the breweis
of Bath, praying an alteration in the duties on beer. The lion.
Baronet also presented a Petition from fluatingdon in favour
of the County Coital Bill.
Mr. MONCK rose to present a Petition from the parish of
St. Saviour, Southwark, praying for a reduction of the duty on
beer ; in doing which the Hon. Gentleman made a few ob-
servations expressive of his belief' that if the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would take the subject into his serious con.
sideration much advantage would result. He was persuaded
that if the duties were reduced one-half, it would, instead of
diminishing, augment the revenue. The petition was then
brought up and ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. JONES presented a Petition from Caermarthen against
the House and S rindow Tax.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The proceedings in Parliament last n:4ht were
of great importance to our commercial interests.
We regret that the lateness of the hour pre-
cludes us from any but a very brief notice of
them. Mr. lluskisson, in a clear and masterly
Speech, brought forward his resolutions respcting
the Colonial Trade, and for giving increased faci-
iitle3 to our commerce and navigation. The object
of the intended measures is to throw open the
trade of the country and the colonies to the whole
world. The announcement of this important exten-
siou thus given to the operationsof the liberal prin.
ciples by which our commercial system is now regu-
lated,was welcomed by the general applause of the
House, as it will be by the universal approbation
of the country. On the motion of Mr. Secretary
Peel, a re,olution was passed to raise the salaries
of the Police Magistrates from 6001. to 800/. per
aannm. This is an augmentation which it is only
necessary to mention in order to have it approved.
Every one naturally asks why it has been so
long neglected. Considering the nature of the
duties to be performed; the increased sum, we
think, is quite moderate enough.

[MORNING HERALD.]
'Though we highly respect the privileges of the
Rouse of Commons, considering them, as in fact
they are, the best safeguard of the liberties of the
people, yet we think there is a diryosition now
and then to carry them a little too far. An in-
stance of this seems to have occurred lately, when
it was suggested to call to the bar of the House
some Corn inspector, who had inserted the name
of a firm, one of the partners in which happened
to be a Member of Parliament, as having made a
false return under the Corn Average Act. Now,
without die least reference to the truth or inaccu-
racy of such statements, what can the /louse of
Commons have to do with it, more than with any
other libel which may be published against one of
its Members in hisindivitimal capacity ? Suppose we
were, unfortunately, to allege that a Member of
the. House of Commons had eloped with his
friend's wife, what is that to the House ? If a
contrary doctrine were admitted, what, we would
ask, would become of Mrs. Harriette Wilson, and
'others, who take such liberties with their betters?
'r*vriously speaking, we value the privileges of the
/louse of Commons too highly' to wish to see them
'frittered away in personal objects. A corn-dealer,
if libelled or misrepresented, has his remedy like
airy other man; hut we deny that be has, or ought
'l"o“bitve', any more summary remedy- because he
limy also be a Member of the Legislature.

A N ECD 0 T ES, &c.

Lord 11 . , in the reign of King George
the Third, in conversation with his friend GEORGE
SELWIN, observed, that he had at first taken the
road el ambition ; but, being overwhelmed by
the gigantic powers of William Pitt, afterwards
Lord Chatham, he then devoted himself to the
acquisition of wealth, and had acquired a vast
fortune, but expressed his apprehension that the
extravagance of his two sons would reduce him
to beggary. " Oh ! that can easily be prevented,"
said George Selwin, "come upon the county,
and swear that you were robbed between sun
(son) and sun (son)."
LONDON UNI ERSITT.—::_s an Institution of
this description has been proposed and some
measures have been adopted for its establish-
ment, the opinion of Dr. J (HINSON on the subject
is peculiarly applicable at present : " Neither a
capital city," says the Doctor, " nor a town of
commerce, is adapted for the purposes of a Col-
lege : the first exposes the students too much to
levity and dissoluteness, the other to gross luxury.
In one the desire of .knowledge gives way to tl►e
love of pleasure, and in the other there is danger
i❑ yielding to the love of money."
CAUSE AND EFFECT.—The LORD PROTOST of
a. certain renowned city of the north, whose
daughter had the felicity to be 'married to a
worthy gentleman of the name of Baird, one day
entertained at his house a select party of friends.
After dinner an easy chit-chat ensued, which
happening to turn on the singularity of surnames,
the Provost, willing to astonish his guests, said,
" Gentlemen, my grandmother ,was a Husband,
and my mother was a Man," (the maiden name of
the one lady was Man, that of the other Ilus-
band.)—" Why, in that case," Observed the late
Dr. Gregory, who was present," we may the less
wonder, Sir, at your daughter having got a
Baird."'

JEWEL, BISHOP OF SALISBURY.-This prelate
was so remnarka►ble for his power of memory, that
he could readily repeat any thing that he had
penned, after once reading i.. It was his prac-
tice never to begin committing his sermons to
heart till the church bells began to ring ; and so
firmly did he retain what he learned, that he used
to say, that before a thousand auditors, shouting
or fighting all the while, he could deliver what-
ever he had provided.

WIT BY THE WAYSIDV.—In the neighbourhood
of Hoddam Castle, Dumfriesshire, there is a
tower called Repentance. A pleasant answer of
a shepherd's boy to Sir Riot Ann STEELE, founded
on the name of this tower, is ;elated. Sir Richard
having observed a boy lying on the ground, and
very attentively reading his Bible, asked if he
could tell him the way to Heaven ? " Yes Sir,"
answered the boy," You must go by that tower."

POETRY.

TO A LADY.—(Set to Music.)

If Music's breath can give a charm to vtords,
Which feebly speak thy beauty's witching Spell,
Oh ! let some Minstrel touch th' impassion'd chords,
And tell for me what I may never tell.

Then haply one soft trembling drop shall dim
Those eyes, and in thy breast one tenderer thrill,
Shall wake a pardoning, pitying, sigh for him
Who loved—alas! perhaps, who loves thee still !
Sandwich, Sept 7.

THEATRICALS.

The Stout Man, we find, is the last of the dra-
matic novelties of the season at the English Opera
House. With such a powerful troop of Per-
formers, headed by General MATHEWS, and fol-
lowed by CooeEß, B4RTLEY, and Miss KELLY,
and indeed the whole of the company, no more
dramatic novelties are wanted.

The Shepherd Boy, which proves so very at-
tractive at the English Opera House, is, we un-
derstand, the acknowledged production of Mr.
A arvoin, the Proprietor.
Miss GowAttn is one of the novelties of the
season at the English Opera House, and she
posse,;ses so much spirit as a❑ actress, and such
talents as a singer, that it requires ".no skill in
augury" to predict that she will soon appear on
the Winter boards.

The new Proprietors of the Adelohi Theatre
nre sounding " the note of preparation," and it
is expected that this minor campaign will not n
little alarm the regular forces of the Patentees.
We are sorry to hear that Mr. LEE, the late Stage
Manager at the Adelohi, is not to resume his post,
as lie was experienced and attentive in that de-
paitment, and also very respectable as an Actor.
His Mayor in Rochester was au excellent per-
formance.

Mr. T. P. Cooicr: has cancelled his articles at
Covent-garden Theatre, by consent of parties,
and has enlisted in the new Adelphi corps.
Mr. CHA LES K Lux, says the Constitutionnet,
has entered into engagements with some Parisian
actors for the approaching season at Covent-
garden Theatre.

FOR PRESERVING THE TEETH AND GUM*.

BUT LER'sVEGETABLE TOOTIi-
POR'DER has so long been in general use, that it is
almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it.
Composed of Vegetables, wit hunt the admixture of any Mineral
or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual ob-
jection against the use of other Dentrifices. its detersive
power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive parti-
cles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the
Teeth ; healing injuries in the former, and promoting a new
Enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the, latter.
It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the
Gums ; and, if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a
sound state to old age.

SUPERIOR FOOD for CHILDREN, IN-
VALIDS, and others.—By the King's Royal Letters
Patent.-01 all new introductions in Domestic Economy,
none have ever met with more universal approbation than
ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY and PATENT GROATS ;
they completely supersede the use of the common Pearl Bar-
ley or F.mhden Groats, a Superior Beverage being produced
in Ten Minutes, and at one-halt the expence. These Nutri-
tious Preparations have been submitted to the Medical Pro-
fession throughout_ the United Kingdom, and have met with
the most decided approval and recommendation; in fact,
many Physicians of the greatest celehrity have declared, that
the Patent Preparations of Barley and Groats excel all other
articles in use, as a Food for Childten, &c. The Patent
Barley makes Superior Barley Water in Ten Minutes, and is
infinitely better than the common Barley for thickening
Veal, Mutton, and other Broths; it is also in the highest re-
pute for making a most delicious Pudding or Custard. The
Patent Groats praduce in Ten Molutes an excellent, smooth,
and delicate Gruel, which, owing to the Patent mode of pre-
paration, will oever...turn sour on the stomach.

IMPORTANT EXPOSURE.

THE Frewient Attempts of " Mr.- [Sidney
Job] Van Butchell," a Pawnbroker's Apprentice in
1808, a Banker's Clerk in August 1819, to pass for an Assist-
ant of the late Martin Van Butchell, who died in 1814, compels
the Eldest Sun, sole Executor and Successor, EDWIN
MARTIN VAN BUTCH ELL, 20 years Surgeon, Ac-
coucheur and Surgeon, for the Cure of Fistulae, Piles, Stric-
tures, &c. without Cutting, Caustic, or Confnement, esta-
blished 17 years, at No. 24, Broild-street, very near Golden-
square, London; at Home till Twelve daily, Sundays excepted ;
to state he has no Connexion with the said S. J. Van Butchell.
D. D. Van Butchell, of South-street, died Dec. 1, 1823.
From 1. The Examiner,' January, 1825.
" It is fortunate for the rising generation that the late Martin
Van Butchell, (who died in 1814) not more celebrated for his
eccentricities than his utility, has not departed from the world
without leaving an able successor to his practice. Edwin Martin
Van Butchell, .(Surgeon, for the Cure of Fistulae, Piles, Stric-
tures, &c. without Cutting, Caustic or Confinement, seventeen
years established at 24, Broad-street, Golden-square, London,)
is now almost as well known as his late Father. Such, indeed,
is the estimation of his abilities, that a large Society ofJourney-
men Tailors have entered 118211 into a Subssriptiou - among
themselves, in order thiirtheir afflicted Brethren may have the
benefit of his practical knowledge and abilities."

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Oc•r. 15.—We have given up all hopes
of a change in the commercial relations between Switzerland
and the kingdom of Sardinia, the Court of Turin having de-
clined entering into negociations on the subject.
AUGSBURG, Oc•r. 20.—Our correspondent at Trieste sends
us the following details The merchants.of the city are ex-
tremely alarmed by a report that has just been spread that the
Greeks have captured nearly 20 Austrian vessels, for having
attempted to act contrary to the decree of the Government of
Greece, which declares the coasts of Southern Albania in a
state of blockade." _

Recent news has been received from Missolonghi. The
chiefs who command in that place have taken advantage of the
raising the blockade by seas to reinforce the garrison. The
troops which were scattered along the coast have been collected
and embarked, and have arrived at llissolonghi. This addi-
tional force has enabled the Greeks to make several sallies, all
of which have been successful; but the greatest advantage they
hare gained is the destruction of the dyke, by means of which
Redschid Paella hoped to three Missolonghi to capitulate.
BRUSSELS, Oc.r. 26.—We have lately spoken of an affray
at Utrecht, between the students and the civic guard. Some
Belgic Journals, among which is the Antwerp Gazette, repro-
sent the affair as much more serious than we first stated. We
shall refrain from copying the different statements, and wait for
authentic accounts. It should seem, however, that it must have
been serious, because it is affirmed that a member of the High
Court of Justice at the Hague has been sent to the spot to direct
the legal investigation.
OcT. 28.—The unfortunate affair at Utrecht is now before
the tribunals. The soldiers and the students complain of each
other. The latter affirm that they are victims of acts of vio-
lence for which no sufficient reason can be given.

guished traveller would not now be a supplicant
on the threshold of public charity. 'We cannot
conceive why there should not be a mania to see the
beautifully executed models of works that have
survived the accidents and decay of thirty cen-
turies, as well as to hear Mr. Irving preach, or
any popular actor or actress realise the imagina-
tion of the poets. Sometimes, indeed, there ex-
ists a mania to follow and admire what is neither
eloquent in the pulpit nor interesting on the
stage. Have we not seen, too, the speculators
in monstrous exhibitions—exhibitions founded in
fraud, and that ought to excite no other sensation
than disgust—have we not seen such speculators
frequently received with public encouragement
and an enriching patronage ? But here is a legi-
timate subject of enlightened as well as of popu.
lar inspection. Will it be neglected any longer
by those whose example could crowd the collec-
tion of Belzoni with daily admirers ? Here, also,
would be a subscription that would include all
classes of people. Those who exercise an influ-
ence over the fashionable world, especially the
fair sex, would only have to set it going. This
would be to make amiable and beneficent use of
that power which they possess over the taste
and manners of society. But why might not the
King in passing from London to Brighton set the
example ? Why might he not go to the memorials
of ancient royalty, and if he thought proper, give
his subscription at the same time ? This would
be worthy of the liberality and munifience
which his Majesty has so often displayed in
the protection and encouragement of works
of taste and genius. Then the Dukes of York,
Clarence, Cumberland, and the Princesses of the
Blood would no doubt imitate the Sovereign. They
would each visit the Egyptian antiquities. The
stimulus of the Royal example would be soon felt
through all ranks of society. The nation will redeem
itself from the obloquy of being insensible to the
labours of a man who identified his existence with
the history of the world, and a tribute more
honourable than that of mere charity will save his
family and works from ruin.

BERKSHIRE ELECTION.

Yesterday the nomination of a Member to serve
in Parliament for this County, took place at the Town Hall,
in Reading. An application, signed by upwards of 600 of the
Freeholders and Yeomanry, had been presented to Mr. Palmer
to offer himself as a Candidate, and that Gentleman entered the
town escorted by an immense body of horsemen, and repaired
to the Hall at twelve o'clock, which the High Sheriff, Ebenezer
Fuller Maitland, Esq., 'entered at the same time.
Mr. MOUNT, of Wasing-place, addressed the assembly, and
proposed Mr. Robert Palmer, of Holme Park, as the fit and
proper person to represent the County, bestowing high praise
on his good qualities, and dwelling on his attachment to his
public duties, and the security he gave us, the possession of
large property.
The HiGn SHERIFF then asked, if any freeholder had any
other gentleman to put in nomination.
A pause of some minutes duration took place, during which
the meeting seemed to look with some anxiety for the appear-
ance of Mr. Hallett or his friend. At length a person in the
crowd exclaimed " make way for the letter." A letter sealed,
and directed by name to the High Sheriff, was then handed up
to the Chair.
The CHArnivt.tx having perused the letter, said he had no
hesitation in stating to the Meeting, that it came from Mr.
Hallett, and was dated Southampton, but he did not think he
could, or was bound to read it, or any extract from it to them,
as be considered the Gentleman who had written it was not
in any shape at present before the Meeting.—(Hear, and cries
of read, read I)
After some consideration, the Hum SHERIFF said, that Mr.
Hallet lamented in his letter that ill health prevented his being
with them that day.—(A Laugh.)--If any other gentleman had
any thing to propose, he would be most happy to hear him,
before he put the question.
No gentleman offered any remark in reply, indeed all seemed

casion of the loss of the Company's late ship Kent by fire, in
the Bay of Biscay, on the Ist instant.
" The Court immediately caused the expressions of their sen-
timents on your conduct to be made known to Messrs. Dobson
and Baker, and they only deferred the communication of tile,.
same direct to yourself, until they should be in possession 0'
the requisite preliminary information, which should enable-
them to accompanyit by a more substantial mark of their Sp'
probation.
" Such information reached the Court, of Directors yester
day ; and I obey the Court's' instructious in conveying to
their unanimous thanks for the prompt and humane scilicet'
which you have rendered to the East India Company and your
country on the lamented occasion above adverted to—an e%'
ample which was so meritoriously and successfully followed DY
your officers, passengers, and crew.
" Whilst the Court are persuaded that the highest reward.
you can derive its from the reflection that you have been made
the instrument of rescuing so many of your fellow creature 4
from destruction, they desire to mark the sense they entertain
of your praise-worthy conduct, as well as that evinced by your
Officers and Crew; and they have accordingly unanimously re'
solved to present you with the sum of (1100/.), six hundred boo'
dred pound; that your First Slate be presented with (1001.), °re;
hundred pounds; and the Second Slate with (501.), fifty pouliu
the nine Persons forming the Crew with (101.), ten pound,each ; and the twenty-six Miners with (151.), fifteen pouno_r
each. Also that, as a mark of the Court's sense of the ze,
and humanity evinced by the ten Persons who were proceed
ing with your ship in the capacity of Miners of a superior cis? e
the sum of (1001.) one hundred pounds, be placed at the dis
posal of Mr. Came, the Company's Agent at Falmouth, for th„
purpose of enabling him to provide those individuals with suc'
articles as may contribute to their comfort or convenience dui'
ing their intended voyage, as cabin stores.
" These several sums are payable to Messrs. Dobson and
Baker, on behalf of the several parties interested, together with
the amount of compensation awarded to those gentlemen O"
account of the Owners of the Cambria and yourself, in COgFl
pensation of the loses and expences occasioned by the assistanc-
e
rendered to the passengers and ship's company of the Kent.

KINDER V. TAYLOR AN,D OTDERS,
The Court was this day again crowded to hear
the farther argument of Counsel in the „hove_
named cause. Lord Lauderdale took his seat on
the bench beside the Lord Chancellor, and re-
omined during the morning.
„
?:Ir. HEALD contended at great length iu favour
of the course pursued by Mr. Kinder ,• and,, in
support of the application, Messrs. Heald, Part,
Horne, Sugden, Slott well, &.c. &c. have yet to be
heard, consequently the cause is likely to occupy
the attention of the Court for at least two or
three days.
