GG grin PUBLIC ATTENTION" is
particularly requested to the state of their Locks,
and those generally offered to them for sale, and are at the
same time respectfully c iutioned against purchasing any
Locks (where security is valued) but the Bramahrian Lock,
with seven guards, manufactured by S MORDAN and Co.
The invaluable security this Lock affords ought to make it
a chief point with the heads of families to use ❑e other,
protecting their children and domestics from falling into
those snares which temptation and curiosity too often
lead to, and giving an inviolable security to property
(such as private papers, moveable stock, &c.) in the absence
of the principal.
Bankers, Merchants, and others, who may wish to be
satisfied as to the security of the Locks they are now de-
pending on, will be honestly informed by applying ?erson-
ally at the Manufactory, 22, Castle-street, Finsbury, Lon-
don, or by letter (post-paid).

The fame of Mr. GRATTAN'S last historical
Romance of " Jacqueline of Holland," having, we un-
derstand, reached the ears of an illustrious and widowed
Princess, the work has bee❑ carefully read by her to her
Royal daughter, as a bright example of what a Queen
should be when subjected to the vicissitudes of fortune.
USE OF THE TELESCOPE.—On our arrival
at Muscat we were visited by men of all nations and
colours. A good telescope happening to be placed so as to
give a complete view of one of the farthest fortifications, I
called an Arab to look through it, and he did so for about a
minute, then gazed with the most eager attention at me,
and, without saying a word, dashed over the ship's side.
When the boat he was in got to a little distance, he ex-
claimed, "You are magicians, and I now see how you
take towns; that thing (painting to the telescope), be they
ever so far off, brings them as near as you like." We were
much amused with his simplicity, but no arguments could
prevail on him to return and receive such a lesson on optics
as might dispel his delusion.—Sketches of Persia.
The following extraordinary system of Parlia-
mentary corruption, at the commencement of the reign of
GEORGE 111., i 9 related by Sir NATHANIEL WRAXALL,
which is confirmed by the Bishop of LLANDAFF, in the
anecdotes of his life, and also in ALmort's " Life of Lord
CHATHAM :"—g4 JOHN Ross MACKAY, who had been
private secretary to the Earl of BUTE, and afterwards,
during seventeen years, was Treasurer of the Ordnance, a
man with whom I was personally acquainted, frequently
avowed the fact. He lived to a very advanced age, sat in
several Parliaments, and only died in, I believe, 1795. A
gentleman of high professional rank, and unimpeachable
veracity, who is still alive, told the that, dining at the late
Earl of BEsnoitonon's, in Cavendish-square, in the year
1790, where only four persons were present, including
himself, Ross MACKAY, who was one of the number, gave
them the most ample information on this subject. Lord
BESBOROUGH having called after dinner for a bottle of ex-
cellent Champagne, a wine to which MACKAY was partial,
and the conversation happening to turn on the means of
governing the House of Commons, MACKAY said that
money formed, after all, the only effectual and certain me-
thod. The peace of 1763, continued he, was carried
through, and approved by a pecuniary distribution. No.
thing else could have surmounted the difficulty. I was
myself the channel through w bleb the money passed.
With my own band I secured above 120 votes, on that
most important question, to Ministers ;-80,0001. were
set apart for the purpose. Forty Members of the House
of Commons received from me 1,0001. each. To 80 others
I paid 5001. each. MACKAY afterwards confirmed, more
than once, this fact, to the gentleman above mentioned,
who related it to me."

SINGULAR AND EXTRAORDINARY DIS-
COVERY OF A BOY WllO LEFT HIS PARENTS AT HALIFAX
UPWARDS OF TWO YEARS AGO.-Many of our readers will,
no doubt, have seen a boy, dressed as a sailor, and singing
ballads in this town for some wetks back. During his
sojourn to this island he visited Castletown, Peel, and
Ramsay, and was at Laxey Fair. His name is WILLIAat
HALLEWELL, but he has gone by the name of WILLIAM
DENMAN. The boy, who is only twelve years of age,
ran away from his industrious parents in April, 1829,
and was advertised in the Halifax Chronicle at the time.
His parents and friends travelled in search of him through
all the different towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Still
the boy could not be found ; and it appears from his own
statement, that on leaving Halifax he travelled through
the different towns and villages until he arrived at Staley-
bridge, in Lancashire. Here he fell in with a blind man
and a man of the name of DENMAN. lie was engaged
by DENMAN to go with the blutd man and beg, which
he did from town to town, until be was about three miles
from Halifax. They then took the road to Liverpool,
and during their stay DENMAN took the lad on board the
John and Nancy, hound for N:lw York, and hired hint
with the Captain, giving his name as DENMAN (not Halle-
well), which he has travelled by ever since., They sailed
from Liverpool, and were out about nine months, and
arrived in Liverpool at Christmas, 1830, when the lad ran
away from the ship, in consequence of severe treatment'
He hogged his way to Wlntehaven, thence to Wigton, in
Cumberland, where be fell in with one AARON fattinNE'
.
his wife, and a little girl, who were strolling over the
country as ballad singers. He joined this trio, and soon
wastoads
primo of the party. In this capacity they
visited Newcastle and Shields, Sunderland, Stockton-on-
when a party of gentlemen from Hali-
'pees, &e., when they came to this island, where they had
been uutii
llv'erriedayvitaz, who siting this town, had their attention
drawn to the lad's good voice and manner in singing. on,
of the party observed to another, that this must be JouN
lIALLEwELL's lad, who had been lost for nearly three
)ears. He accordingly addressed the lad by his real
name, who was struck almost dumb, and fell into tears.
The party immediately took him to their lodgings, when
he related this narrative, which we can rely upon, as the
ttentlemen who discovered hint believe, and for whose
kindness his distressed parents will no doubt be for ever
grateful. It gives us pleasure to add, that several ladies
and gentlemen called upon the lad after it became known
in the town, and left him some donations, which are taken
rare of until they arrive in Liverpool, where they
wili
new-clothe him, as be begged not to be taken home in his
present attire. The party sailed with the lad on Saturday
morning last, on board the William IV., and before out
paper goes to press he will, we hope, be finally restored to
his distressed parents..—Manx (Douglas) Advertiser.

FRANCE.

29, 1831.

To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE.
Paris, August 24.
SIR,—I laughed very heartily last night on read-

T;4- some of the London Papers, and especially the

Globe, which stated that M. Casimir Perier had a
large majority in the Chamber of Deputies for his
system of " e Charter and Peace." Never were
men mo- • -ed—never was an address less Mi-
nisterial. e ere good men forget, if they ever
knew, which rdoubt much less, what was the sys-
tem of M. Casimir Perier, and what is the system
he Minister is now compelled to adopt in order to
,-ecere to himself a gradual and honourable retreat !
His syqsm was, c Let Poland rake het: chance. Let
the Ad ions do as they will in Italy! Let England
settle 'the question of Belgium as her merchants
may think fit ! Let the Spanish Refugees be kept
in a sort of large town prison to prevent a move-
ment in favour of liberty and emancipation !
Lst am Miguel keep possession of the throne
of Portugal ! Let the affairs of Europe be settled
by the Holy Alliance in London ! Let mobs be
put down in France ! Carlists and Royalists be
conciliated by naming them to the best posts, and
keeping them there. Let the Priests be flattered
and courted, well paid, and well fed ! Let the
Journals be kept in order by the public prosecutor,
until the Press shall be ruined by. the Tribunals !
Let the men of the Restoration be honoured and
applaudeT,--and the men of the Revolution be well
watched and kept under ! Let the number of elec-
tors he lessened instead of augmented, and the Aris-
tocracy be reconciled as much as possible to the
change of dynas'y ! Let bankers and capitalists
guide us in our system and our negotiations; and
whatever can make the Stocks rise let us encourage,
and whatever may alarm the Renders let us
avoid ! Let the Peers remain hereditary, the
landed proprietors be flattered and bribed ; and
then—eh consummation devoutly to ha wished !
why then we may hope to have our Revolution re-,
cognized by the Emperors of Austria and Ruseia,
the Kings of Prussia and Holland, and even Ferdi-
nand and the Pope will confer on us their blessing !"
This was the system of M. Casimir Perier when
he accepted office—when he dissolved the Chamber
of Deputies—when he convoked the Electoral Col-
leges—when he addressed his circular to the Prefects,
and when he framed the speech of Louis Philippe to the
new Parliament. Even up to the last moment he was so
in love with his own system, that he imagined it was
universally admired ; and it was not until the address
came on for discussion, that M. Perier discovered he
had caught a Tartar, and that the Chamber was
" ungovernable ;" and now his system is altered !
Though defeated, and re-defeated over and over
again, yet he changes with the weather, and says,
" I am the majority, but I must march with the
Chamber." This is all we require—and yesterday
the Deputies of France gave him a convincing proof
that he is not the majority, but that if he would
march at all he must adopt and accede to tee opi-
nions of the Chamber.
Well, then, yesterday the Minister was again de-
feated ! You will remember that when the Elec-
toral Law was under discussion in the last Chamber
of Deputies, it was proposed to those Charles-the-
Tenth Members that the additional land-tax which
had been imposed for the year 1831, in order to meet
the extra charges of that year, occasioned by the or-
ganization of a large offensive or defensive French
at my, should be counted by those who paid it as a'
portion of their taxes, and that if they paid two hun-
dred francs per annum, including such additional
land-tax, they should be entitled to vote as electors.
The old Chamber, of course, rejected this amend-
ment. The rejection was unjust, absurd, and
impolitic; but as the passing of the amendment
would have made 30,000 more electors in France,
who, if they could not count the additional land-tax
with the rest of their contributions, would not pay
the necessary amount to qualify them, and as M.
Casimir Perier wished to have the new Chamber
Aristocratical, instead of National, why these thirty
thousand citizens were refused their just rights, and
this present Chamber has been returned without
their assisting at the elections. So yesterday, on
the discussion of a project for postponing the pub-
lication of the electorial lists this year until 31st
December, M. Mauguin, of the extreme of the
Extreme Gauche, the very chief and head of the
Mouvement Party, whose principles and opinions
are well known, and about whom there can be no
question, proposed an amendment to the effect that
the additional centimes added to the land-tax by
the law of 15th April, 1830, should be included by
the tax-payers in the total amount of their contri-
butions, arid which, if they altogether amounted to
200 f., as required by the Electoral Law, should
entitle them to vote as electors. This proposal
was received with approbation, and M.Mauguin in an
able and constitutional speech, demonstrated the
justice and the sense of the meaqare. But the Govern-
ment was opposed to the alteration—the Minister of
Commerce made its rejection a Cabinet question, and
the Commissary of the King charged to defend the law
project as originally presented, added his feeble voice
to the necessity of making the law of 1831 correspond
with the law of 1830, arid, therefore, of rejecting the
amendment. But their arguments were vain—their
reasons were ridiculed—die new Chamber under-
stood and felt its mission, and the amendment of M.
Mauguin was carried by a majority of four or five to
one ! The adoption of this proposition is impor.
tant as a matter of fact and as a matter of principle;
as a matter of fact it is important, because it is a
Ministerial defeat—because it shews that the Cham-
ber is not to be driven or drilled by M. Casimir Pe-
rier—because it demonstrates that the system of the
Minister, which is one of an aristocratical and ex-
clusive character, is condemned—because 30,000
citizens will have the right to vote, who never be-
fore were qualified, arid who all belong to the de-
mocracy—and because, as many elections will take
place during the concluding months of this year,
those elections will be all popular, and the Deputies
returned will swell the majority against the system
of the Minister, even with all the changes which
have been made in it since the commencement of
the Session. But the adoption of this amendment
is also important as a matter of principle. It de.
cider that all taxes are to count—that the
Chamber of Deputies must revise the present
Electoral Law—that the suffrage will and
must be extended—that the representation of
France will be made more national than it is
at present, and that the Revolution of July is march-
ing. I told you yesterday, that in spite of all the
obstacles opposed by lukewarm friends and by
avowed enemies to the progress of freedom and ci-
vilization, the cause gained ground ; and a few hours
after I had written that letter, I was present at the
triumph of the same cause,
when, by the amend-
ment of M. Mauguin, SO,OOO new electors were
named in France.
On the state of the Departments, I am anxious to
say a few words. The public opinion is decidedly
pronounced in opposition to the present Govern-
:pent. The system of Baron Louis, the Minister of
Finance, creates very general and just dissatisfac-
don. His system is this—" If a nein be a good col-
lector, never mind whether he is Carlist, Piiest,
Jesuit, a conspirator, who insults the revolution and
proclaims aloud that he hopes to see a foreign army
bring back Henry
