INVENTION. to PAEVENT MILDEW in every kind of
CANVAWfor SAILS and STORES.

•
riIHE SHIP-OWNERS of GREAT BRI-
JL TAIN are respectfully informed by Messrs. BELO-
WELL and CO. that before the tPeace. their method of
PREVENTING MILDEW in SAIL-CLOTH was most sue-
cessfolly tried under the direction of the. Admiralty and. Navy
Boards in all parts of the Globe,—the official documents of
which are in their possession. It has lately been used for the
Merchant Service in the East and West Indies, the Coast, of
Africa, and all parts of the Globe. It •has had the sanction
of the President of .the Royal Society, the Secretary to the
Arts and Sciences, together with the Committee. of Ship-
Owners of London : its Effects have not failed in a single in-
twice; every kind of Canvas to which it is applied is gi eatly
improved in Colour and Strength, the Scotch and Browner
sorts, whether made of Hemp or Flax, (the former of which
is the strongest), are ;rendered more pliable—take less
stowage, are more easy handed, and less subject to Chafe
than any unprepared Canvas. 'New Arrivals and Testimonials
are continually occurring—all of which prove that, by using
the lesi costly Sail-Cloth, 20 per Cent. may be saved_ in the
first expence of Equipment, exclusive of increased Durability,
which, from several Testimonials in their Possession, appears
to be dduble that of Unprepared Sail-Cloth, and requires
little Repair. The Expence is Ss. per Bolt, which for a whole
Snit of Sails in a Ship of '250 Tons, does not exceed 1.21.-All
Canvas sent to their Warehouse, No. 23, Aldermanbury,
London, will be returned to any part of the Town in a few
days, the same Length and Breadth as at first, Stamped in
Red with their Name, &c.- If 20 or more Bolts, the freight
will he defrayed back to the Outports.
N. B.—Several Pieces of Sails, which hare been tried in
various parts of the Globe, as well as all the Documents, may
be seen at their -Warehouse.-.—ltnproved Scotch Sail-Cloth,
which has undergone the Process, may be always had at

[THE TIMES.]

The pending measure with regard to the Salt
Tax is destined, as we learn from the Dublin
journals, to present in the sister island an il-
lustration of the talents of our Finance Mi-
nister, even more peculiar and edifying than
any that we have been able to extract from it
here. By taking off in this country 13 shillings
out of 15 shillings from the tax per bushel on salt,
it is so contrived that all such portion of the
impost as went for profit to the revenue has
been got rid of, while all which could be made
subservient to patronage only has been conscien-
tiously retained. Here, therefore, a productive
tax has been improved into a vehicle of un-
mixed corruption : but in Ireland the thing has
been managed with a degree of skill which is in-
finitely more original and surprising. There the
duty is abolished altogether, and—what would
be very curious every where but in Ireland—the
people are made to pay more under the abolition,
than they did under the operation of the tax. We
remember when the salt tax was imposed upon the
poor Irish, and hard was it considered that mi-
serable creatures whose only dinner was potatoes
should be deprived of that which was their only
sauce. It is true that the tax has hitherto been
not more than 2s. Irish on white, and ls. 6d. on
rock salt—these duties have now been formerly
" abolished." But mark the end : a drawback
of the whole English duty was heretofore allowed
in this country, on stilt exported to Ireland ;
this drawback is henceforth to be discontinued,
so that the unfortunate Irish pauper will have to
pay the new tax of 2s. British, levied at the
pit-mouth, instead of 2s. of Irish currency—
the old local tax in Ireland : otherwise his
tax of 2s. Irish on white salt is reduced to 2s. 2d.,
or an increase of 8 1-3 d per cent. (when the
exchange is at par); and his tax of ls. 6d. Irish
on rock salt: is reduced, in the same way to 25.2 d.
or, speaking gravely, undergoes an increase of
45 per cent.! This is a species of abolition,
which, however suitable in Mr. Vansittart's
fancy to the understandings of the Irish, will
hardly so well adapt itself to their feelings. But
not to strip so hopeful a scheme of that sort of
panegyric which it may fairly challenge, we must
allow that it exhihits the flower of arithmetic—
that it is indeed " the very ecstacy " of finance.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

,Sir R. WILSON- presented a petition from the Curriers
Southwirk against the Repeal of the Leather Tax.

lONIAN_ ISLANDS. .
Sir R. WILSON said a representation had been transmitted
to him which he could not take too early an opportunity of
mentioning, that the Government might, if the facts were true,
take means to remedy the injury that had been occasioned by
an act ofpower. A family of the name of Birouka had been
saved in 1821 by the French Consul, M. De Ponqueville' from
the massacre of Patras. This family consisted of an AI man
of 76 years, his wife, three married daughters and their chil-
dren, amounting in all to 15' perions. They took refuge in
Ithaca, where they were most hospitably received, and con.
tinued till March last, when they were directed to move to the
Morea. They made rei;iegentations against this order, alleging
that they had all along conducted themselves as peaceable in-
habitants, and that they would continue to do ,so if they were
permit-cti to remain. The order for their departure was, how-
ever, reiterated, when they begged to be allowed to remain for
a time to leave a chance for escaping the Barbary Corsairs, of
which the seas were full. This also was refused ; they were
obliged to sail, and were almost immediately ,captured. The
old man was desperately wounded, and the whole, family sold to
slavery in Algiers. If the facts were true, the bare-mention of
them he hoped would be a sufficient inducement to the Govern-
ment to use its utmost exertion to remedy the evils which had
been inflicted by this exertion of authority. He wished at the
same time to ask, whether the Secretary for the Colonies had any
objection to prod= the representation of Signor Rossi, given in
to Lord Bathurst in July last, to add to the information before
the House on the same subject?
Hr. WILMOT said he could not declare too explicitly that
not a word of information respecting the family of Birouka had
reached the Colonial Office. He should certainly feel it his
duty to make inquiries ; and the result should be communicat-
ed to the Hon. Member. As to the representation of Signor
Rossi, he thought the production of it would not be essential to
any motion which the Hon. Member might intend to make, as
it consisted of a recapitulation of facts, with which the don.
Member was acquainted, and which would be in a great part
admitted. As the representation, however, was an ex-parte
statement, there would be an inconvenience in producing it.
Sir R. WILSON said he did intend to make a motion onthe
subject in the present Session. He wished the Honourable Se-
cretary to inform him whether Dr. Rossi was actually banished ?
Air. WILMOT said, he had no reason to suppose that Dr.
Rossi was banished from the lonian Islands for any cause con-
nected with his petition.
Sir T. ACLAND presented a Petition from Occupiers of
Land in Devon, praying for further Duties on the Import of

E ARMY.

Since the late grand review at Hounslow, ttv6
troops of the 9th Lancers have joined the troop
that remained .at Brighton. The other three
troops are gone on to take up the quarters of the
Royal Dragoons, at Weymouth, Truro, and
Exeter, who are destined for Canterbury, Deal,

now at Brighton will remain there until the re-
turn of the 3d Dragoons from Ireland, which is
expected in the end of this or the beginning of
next month, when they will start for Weymouth,
dropping a troop on the route for Christ Church,
Hants.

The Richmond Forester yeomanry cavalry,
commanded by Major ILtitTLEy, concluded their
eight days' duty at Richmond, on the 4th inst.
They had a grand field day on Monday the 3d,
and were reviewed by Lieutenant• Colonel KEAR-
NEY, of the 2d regiment of Horse Guards, who
complimented them highly on the steadiness and
correctness with which they performed their
various manoeuvres.

On Saturday last a Regimental Court Martial
was held at thu Castle of Exeter, Captain AL-
BANY SA II LLE, President, on James Nightingale,
Serjeant Armourer of the First or East Devon

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 10.

Joseph Correa, late Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court
of Portugal to the Hanse Towns, came up for final hear-
ing. The insolvent had been remanded at a former exa-
mination, in order to obtain an . account of goods in the
possession of his son, at Hamburgh, of his court dresses,
&c. The accounts were this day produced, properly ve-
rified by the affidavit of J. Correa, jun., Esq., who holds
the office of Charge d'Affaires at Hamburgh, from the Court of
Portugal. The Court were satisfied with the account, and ob-
served, that although Mr. Correa had been opposed by one of
his creditors_ for contracting a debt without probable means of
payment, yet he was happy to state that the Gentleman would
depart from that Court, to the exercise of his important func-
tions, without even the shadow of a stain on his reputation.—

THEATRICAL FRACAS.--Yesterday se'nnight
the Liverpool theatre was opened for the season, with the play
of CorioThnus, in which Mr. VANDENROFF made his first
appearance on his re-engagement in the theatrical company. A
number of persons in the house, among whom were several in-
dividuals from Manchester, were very vociferous in behalf of
Mr. SALTER, who had been displaced to make room for Mr.
VANDElmovr, who, the Managers were of opinion, was pre-
ferred by the Liverpool public. On Mr. VANDENIIOPF mak-
ing his appearance the expressions of applause and disapproba-
tion were such as to astound the senses and defy all description.
In a short time Mr. SALTER entered the upper side-boxes, and
was received amidst a tumultuous discordance of friendship
and opposition. The uproar continued long after the curtain
had fallen for the night, some instances of violence occurred,
and at last five forms were torn up in the gallery, and throwh
into the pit. Fortunately the first of them did no personal
damage, but it had the instant effect of clearing the pit, and
then the police officers " showed the door" to those in the
boxes and gallery. On Tuesday night the disturbance was still
more violent, although in a thinner house. The active parti-
sans of the two performers seemed to have possession of the
field, and, as on the preceding evening, nothing of the play or
farce could be heard, eicept one song from Miss HAMMER-
SLEY, which, for a moment, lulled the storm.

Captain GREET, who was .0 severely injured by the over-
turning of the Chester and Holyhead.mail-coach, a few days
ago, on its entering Halkin, died at Holyhead, and the driver
has been committed for trial, charged by the verdict,of the Co-
roner's Jury with manslaughter.

ground for annulling the contract. Even the Commission con-
curred in this ; for the report was limited to a declaration that
the Cortes could not sanction, and ought not to sanction, the
contract, not that it was null and void. But he ellowed, how-
ever, that the two propositions came nearly to the same thing,
because, without the sanction of the Cortes, the stipulations of
the contract had ro validity, and no obligation to observe it
existed either on the part of the contractors or the public. If
the Cortes had'.conformed to it by giving it their sanction,
then it would have been conclusive on both parties. He had
heard with much satisfaction the speeches of those who had pre-
viously declared that there was no desire of annulling the loan;
and, in fact, how could the Cortes desire it, unless to become
judges in their own cause ? How could a Government contract
be pronounced void which was founded on the competent sanc-
tion of the Cones, and concluded with a foreign house ? This
contract created objections in the same manner as others be-
tween individuals, and no authority could pronounce its nullity
but the judicial power. Who can assure the Cortes, he would
ask, that this foreign house would not appeal to the Tribunals
of Spain in support of their rights—or who could assure them
of the award of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice ? That
award must ,be conformable to the laws of the nation, and
the laws of the nation, in such cases, are the decrees which he
had above quoted. If judicial powers should declare the con-
tract legal, in spite of the disapprobation of the Cortes, of what
avail would be their declaration against it? The Spanish nation,
which had been so prodigal in acknowledging the debts of for-
mer Government's—debts contracted for,objects much less pure
and worthy, should not now declare void a credit contracted for
the consolidation of the constitutional systeni, and the defence
of public liberty. The Minister then spewed that the consoli-
dation of the debt of Holland with the new loan was no disad-
vantage to the public; and that the contract, in some of the con-
ditions complained of,was no infringement on the Constitution.
The treaty with the house of Ardouin and Co. had been mo-
delled after, former treaties. He concluded by saying that the
Government concurred in the opinion of the Commission in
every respect,'except in the clause of the first article, by which
it in effect pronounced the contract null.
The time of ending debate was then drawing near. Seve.
ral Members wished to speak ; the sitting was therefore ad
journed.

LAW INTELLIGYNCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 10.
THE KING v. JACKSON, JUN. AND JACKSON, SEN.
The defendants were found guilty of conspiracy to sue out
a commission of bankruptcy. The ease has been more than
once before the public. Jackson the younger, for a sum of
money, was admitted as a partner in the business of Mr. Fox,
a sutgeon and apothecary. Some time after, whilst he was a
debtor to Mr. Fox, his father made him a bankrupt, and this
prosecution commenced on the ground that the defendants had
concerted the bankruptcy, there being in fact no petitioning
creditor's debt, contracted bona fide. Last Term the Solicitor-
General obtained a rule to shew cause why there should not
be s new trial, and this day the rule was opposed by Mr.
SCARLET T.
The COURT were of opinion, that the case ought to be again
submitted to a Jury, and made the rule absolute for a new trial
The CHIEF JusTicE took causes on the peremptory paper.

ever, to observe, that though diminished, the revenue is still
amply sufficient, with the aid given by the mother country, to
defray all the expences of the Colonial Government, as well as
to discharge with punctuality the interest of its-funded paper—
leaving a surplus applicable to such purposes as may best pro-
mote the public welfare. Our means, however, being limited,
a prudent and judicious application of them becomes the more
necessary ; but, in the wisdom of your united deliberations, I
have every confience ; and you may rely upon my cordial co-
operation and continued exertions in promoting and carrying

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The proceedings in the House of Commons
last night were deeply interesting. The State of
Ireland was submitted to the consideration of Par-
liament by Sir John Newport, who detailed at
great length many of the great and essential causes
which by their combined influence had oppressed
that unhappy country. The worthy Baronet pro-
pose,d an Address to the Crown, reciting the mea-
sures already adopted for tranquillizing Ireland,
and expressing the desire of the House that his
Majesty's Government should take an early oppor-
tunity of submitting some proposition for regulat7.
ing the affairs of Ireland founded upon concilia-
tory principles. Mr.G-oulburn moved the previous

BLASPHEMY.

A poor old-man, named Christopher Hodgson, was convicted
of uttering abominable expressions respecting the. Bible, the
Saviour, and the Virgin Mary, at Bishop Auldand, while a
Missionary from London was preaching in the market-plaCe.,
He was sentenced to imprisonment for two calendar months..
M. A. Taylor, Esq., as foreman of the Giand Jury, made a
report of the state of the gaol, after a full investigation of com-
plaints alleged by one, of the debtors. Every circumstance of.
complaint was entirely disproved, and -the eondtict of" Mr.
Wolfe, the Governor, proved -to be extremely correct, humane,
and judicious.

THE ANCIENT VESSEL DISCOVERED IN THE OI.IM
`CHANNEL OF THE ROTHER.—Since the account iMerted,
our impression of Tuesday, the 30th ult. we have been fdvoured
with the following additional particulars by a judicious and ob.
servant correspondent. Up to the 6th inst. the vessel had here.
entirely cleared out, but nothing farther of moment had beet
found worthy of notice, except some iron rings, which, with sothe
marks discovered on the.outside of the vessel, below the water
line„"are confidently pronounced to be unquestionable proOfs of its
being of Danish construction ; and if so, it must have been wreck.
ed there six or seven hundred years since, before the see retired
to its present boundary on the coast at Rye. The vessel is
partly flat-bottomed, with a keel in the centre, of a common
form. The labourers are now at work in order to dig it out of
the bed of sand in which it lies, and will yet be occupied
another week or more before it will be possible to float it.
When this is effected, it is contemplated to get it into the chan-
nel of the branch of the Bother, which is navigable from Rye
to within a few rods of the spot where it was discovered, and
ultimately to convey it either by land or water to London, in
order to exhibit it there, which it is expected will produce a
considerable emolument. The several portable articles taken
out of thelcabin, &c. are in great request, but none have
been as yet disposed of.—Several more human bones ,bave
been taken out of the vessel or the sand, which assuredl}l are
those of the unfortunate persons who perished in the wreck-,
or, as some will have it, were killed in an engagement when
the Danes attacked and destroyed the old city of Anderida,
above fourteen centuries past. This supposition augments it -A
antiquity, respecting which (as upon most occurrences) tlier
seem to be two parties; the one contending for, the other
against it. The most probable conjectures are in favour of the
former • but whatever might be the date of its-destruction, the
crew and their frail bark must have been buried together, over,
whelmed by the resistless waves of the deep, where they have
laid for successive ages.—(Kentish Gazette, Aug. 9.)

notice of .The same motion for this day se'nnight.-
Whilst on his legs he would also give 'notice of a

Board of Control, for this day fortnight.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
Mr. LOCKHART presented Petitions from Scarsdalet
a place the name of which we could not learn, praying relief
from.Agrieultutal DiStress.
Mr. JONES expressed his opinion that the plan adopted, by
'Ministers would afford no relief. The reduction of a shilling
a quarter upon malt would only give a very partial relief to,
the barley counties, He contended that the duty on-salt being
renwved would afford more general and effective relief.—
The 'removal of that tax, and some regulation of the tax on
leather, would be all that was 'necessary: At present the. duty
was so much per.pound,. and the poor - man -being obilitd, to
have thicker soles than tbelladie.s,sousequentlk he paid a much
higher tax Upon his -shoes. Mme further reductions ought
to be inatle in the expenditurei and he • thought the Civil List
was the sluarter from whence they ought to commence. He
believed that .Ministers had itlossesmd and.deserved the cola.
dence of the country, and 'he hoped that they would continue
to do so by attending. to tie, general moke expressed at aIL the
county meetings without dissent, unless where reform was.
e-mbed up with. %hex. .topics::v•lle recommended that there
liould be an aboliti9n,of Lotteries, for, it was absolutely unjust'
to-auffer the poor man to pay a-tax upon gaming, whilst the
rich squandered their fortunes with&ut.-contributing any thing
for their play to the expences of the Government. Either the
Lottery should be abolished, or .the gaming houses should be
exposed to a tax.

[TII E TIM ES.]

It will be recollected by our readers, that in
our leading article of Monday last, we hinted at
the probable failure of the scheme of paying off
the 5. per cents.; and we shall now of course, as
the storm darkens, think it our duty to speak a
little more fully on the morality of the subject.
The first thing that strikes us, and, we believe,
will strike the country, is, that Lord Liverpool
has disposed of the money which he has not
yet got from the paying off of the five per cents.
His Lordship has assigned it to fill up the va-
cuum occasioned by the deduction of one shilling
a bushel from the malt duty. He must, therefore,
have calculated either upon the good=will of the
holders of five per cent stock to . give up a fifth
part of their income, or he must have thought him-
self qualified to pay off the whole of that stock, by
availing himself of the higher price. to which
other stock (that is,- the 3 per cents.) had risen.
Yesterday was a holiday. Several private bar-
gains, however, were made, from Which it is as-
certained that Consols sunk half per cent. from
their previous high price, in consequence of the
apprehension of the vast sales that must take
place in that stock, in order to satisfy the holders
of 5 per cents. who may not be disposed to re-
linquish voluntarily a fifth of their income ; and
the general inference, indeed, we may say, the
general assurance, upon the Stock Exchange yes-
terday was, .that Ministers could not pay off the
5 per cents. as they had proposed.
