ENGLISH FEELING.—A small farmer in the
einity of Manchester, not long since, killed -a cow, and sent
part of the beef and a quantity of suet to his son,-a weaver, in
Blackley, who hung it up so near the window, that some one
in the night,broke a pane and carried off the suet. In the morn-
ing, the weaver missing his suet, went to the alehouse, where
he posted up' the following advertisernent, which still remains
an evidence of the right John generosity and Spirit :
" Whereas; last night a quantity of beef suet was taken from
the house of Thomas Wolstonecroft—this is to give 'Mace, that
Krthe person who took it-away will appear and prove that he
was forced to do so by, distress, the said,Thomas Wolstonecroft
will live him a dozen of flour to make the suet into dumpling!.
But' if he cannot prove thathe,was in distress-when he' stole it,
the said Thomas li'asioneeroft will fight him and give hiM
five shillings if he beats him."

MR. ABERCROMBY.

The speech of the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER was here interrupted by the appearance of the
Serjeant at Arms, to announce that the Messenger appointed
to deliver the order of the house to Mr. Abercromby, was in
waiting.
The Messenger was ordered to be brought to the Bar, when
he was examined by the SPEAKER as follows :
Q. What is your name ?—A. Samuel Spiller.
Q. You carried the order of the House to Mr. Abereromby's
House P—A. I did.

Q. Who did you see ?—A. I saw his servant.
Q. What conversation passed between you ?—A. I asked
him if his master was at home, as I wanted to see him. He
said. no.

Q. What further conversation passed ?—A. I asked whether
he had been at home to-day. lie said that his master went out
between twelve and two o'clock; that he supposed he was gone
out of town, and he was not expected back for eight or ten
days.
Q. Did he say where he was gone ?—A. lie said he did not
know.

'The Messenger was then allowed to retire.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY made some observa-
tions in so low a tone of voice, that we could not catch their
import. After conferring with the Speaker, the Noble Lord
proceeded to say, as we understood, that an order having al-
ready been made for the attendance of the Hon. Member, it
was not necessary to make an additional one ; because the Hon.
Member would assuredly feel it his duty to repair to the House
immediatey upon the receipt of it.
The SPEAKER said, that as the former order had been
made, and they found by the answer to it that the Hon. Mem-
ber had left town, no further order appeared necessary than for
the Messenger to use all possible diligence in taking means to
deliver it.

LAW INTELLfGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 9.
BERRY V. GRINSTED.

This was an action upon two bills of Exchange, the one for
7,0001., and the other for 5,000/., drawn by 'Messrs. Howard
and Gibbs, upon and accepted by the defendant.
The defence set up was, want of consideration and usury.
There was m proof that the defentianthad received any value
for the acceptances, which were given upon an annuity trans-
action with Messrs. Howard and Gibbs. The bills were dis-
counted by the,plaintiff, and it was suggested that he had taken
usurious discount ; but it appeared that in a mistake in the
calculation upon the discount, the plaintiff' had received about
20s. more than he was entitled to-.

The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the usury was not
made out, inasmuch as' there was no intention to take more
than lawful interest, and consequently the transaction was not
tainted with usury. Under his Lordship's direction, therefore,
The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 12,0001., exclusive
of interest.

SCOTTISH COTTAGE TAX.

Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON rose to more the re-
peal of the tax upon Cottages in Scotland. When he looked
at the amount of the tax, and the oppressive nature of its ope-
ration, and the means used in collecting it, he thought the
Right Hon. Chancellor of the Exchequer would not oppose his
motion. Its amount was only 7,0001., and when he considered
that the Hearth and Window Tax had lately been granted to
Ireland, he could not expect that so trifling a boon would be
refused to Scotland. He knew that the fate of his motion
would depend upon the manner in which it was received by
the Right Hon. Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and he was sure
if the Right Hon. Gentleman knew the grievances to which
this tax subjected the poor in Scotland, he would never keep it
up for the sake of a trifling source of revenue. He then moved
for leave to bring in a Bill to exempt all houses in Scotland
under the annual rent of 51. from the duty or tax of four shil-
lings and sixpence, levied under the Act of the 43d of Geo. 111.
cap. 161.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER said that there
was no House Tax in Scotland, and he supposed what the
Noble Lord alluded to was the smallest Window Tax of four
shillings and sixpence a-year in Scotland, and six shillings and
sixpence in England. The Right Hon. Gentleman went into a
statement to shew the comparative pressure of this tax upon
the population. There were 400,000 habitations in that part of
Scotland, 112,600 of which were charged with the window
taxes of all gradations, leaving 290,000 without any charge at
all. He contended, therefore, that where two-thirds of the
habitations were exempted from the tax, it could hardly be
said to press with severity upon the class whom the Noble Lord
wished to relieve.

[THE TIMES]

The expediency of renewing the Irish Insur-
rection Act was argued on Monday in the House
of Commons, when Mr. Goulburn moved the
committal of the Bill. The ground on which
this measure was recommended by the Secretary,
and indeed we must say, approved, or at least
tolerated, by a large proportion of the usual
opponents of Ministers, was, that the spirit of
disaffection in the country had not yet suf-
ficiently abated. We cannot contest such a
point, so recognized ; and looking to the guilt
that would be incurred both by those who as-
serted and by those who acknowledged the ne-
cessity, if it should appear hereafter that it was
not real, we must, though far from being satisfied,
sit down-in a sort of watchful acquiescence, until
a further oppcKtunity shall be furnished of de-
ciding with what justice a weapon so unconsti-
tutional has been now required, and with what
degree of temper it will have been exercised by
the Irish Government. There is one considera-
tion, indeed, which may be allowed some weight
in reconciling reasonable men to the continu-
ance of this tremendous power—namely, the in-
creased responsibility which it lays upon the
head of the Minister who employs it. If Ire-
land should unhappily remain disturbed, and the
general wretchedness undiminished, the Minister,
whose demand of more extensive means of
coercion had been refused by Parliament, would
find a short answer to all attacks upon his
conduct, in the nakedness and inadequacy of his
powers. The grant, therefore, of this prodigious
force, to be applied, as is understood, to the
restoration of tranquillity among the. Irish, takes
away all such pretences, and becomes a formal
pledge to the people, that the time and leisure
thus afforded to their rulers will not be employed
in merely devising new coercive laws, or fresh
pretexts for the prolongation of old abuses.

OLD BAILEY—(I'ms DAY.)

Daniel Valentine and James Bradshaw were put to the Bar,
and indicted, the former for stealing, and the latter for receiv-
ing, a quantity of wax-candles, the property of Mr. E. Pain, a
wax-chandler at Paddington. •
Edward Joseph Pain, son of the prosecutor, said, that on the
25th of May, he received information that his father's ware-
house had been robbed, and heard that some of the property
was at the house of one Stevens; and in consequence of what
he said, witness went to the house of the prisoner, Bradshaw,
and found some candles there, which Bradshaw said he had
purchased of Valentine.
On the officer apprehending Valentine, he denied knowing
Bradshaw, but afterwards made a disclosure that he had
bought them for 21.
Wright, an officer of Bow-street, said he went to Stevens and
Bradshaw's house, where he found 122ibs. of candles, belong-
ing to the prosecutor, which he said had been purchased of
Valentine.

The prisoners declared their innocence, and Valentine called
his late employer, who gave him a good character.
Several respectable tradesmen appeared for Bradshaw, who
all gave him.a most excellent character.

The RECORDER summed up, when the Jury found Valen-
tine Guilty, and acquitted Bradshaw, who was ordered to be
immediately discharged.

Dn. JouNsoN.—ln 1746, Dr. Johnson had the
We management of the debates in the Gentleman's Magazine,
which exhibit a memorable specimen of the extent and promp-
titude of his faculties, and which have induced learned foreign-
ers to compare British with Roman eloquence ; and yet he af-
terwards used to declare, " that the only part of his writings
which then gave him any compunction was his account of the
debates in the Gentleman's Magazine; but that at the time he
wrote them he did not think he was imposing on the world.—
The mode (he said) was to fix upon a speaker's name; then to
make an argument for him ; and to conjure up an answer."—
He wrote those debates with more velocity than any other of
his productions; often three columns of the magazine within
the hour. He once wrote ten pages in a single day, and that
not a long one, beginning, perhaps, at noon, and ending early
in the evening.

The following anecdote of the conduct of an
Algerine merchant is given as a fact, which, in the gloomy
scenes that afflict Turkey, is certainly a most pleasing trait:
—" Among the Christians that were fined and imprisoned at
St. Jean d'Acre, on account of the Greek rebellion, there was
one family that had no other means of paying the money de-
manded of them, but by selling two of their children, a boy
and a girl, seven and eight years old ; they were exposed to
sale to the best bidder in the Market-place, when, a stranger,
an Algerine merchant, was so moved by the affecting scene,
that he became the purchaser, tied paying 28 purses, (4001. in
that country), immediately restored the slaves to liberty and
their astonished parents,"

WINCHESTER, JULY g.

We have had so much of the Company of our
good BISHOP lately, that it quite exhilarates us : He has been
visiting the whole of his Diocese. Oa Monday, the Ist inst.
he confirmed the whole of the persons who lived without the
walls of Winchester, except in the Deanery of Fawley, in the
morning, at the Cathedral,—the sermon being preached by tne
Rev. 3lr. Chancellor Legge. He then returned to the Deanery,
(where he has taken up his residence with the venerable Dean
Rennell), and between 3 and 4 o'clock was driven to the Col-
lege, where a most excellent and well-delivered oration was
spoken by Mr. Stephens, senior, (the senior College-boy, and
prrepositor of the hall) • in it were some judicious and well-
selected encomiums on his Lordship's public and private life,
particularly the part he took in the education and administra-
tion of the late Mr. Pitt. His Lordship answered in an extem-
pore Latin speech, in which he passed very fine and just com-
pliments on the venerable and worthy Warden (the Bishop of
Hereford), and the classical head master, (Dr. Gabell) inform-
ing the boys, that under the care of such excellent persons he
could anticipate nothing but good effects. Two better orations,
under similar circumstances, have seldom been delivered._
Continuing still in his visitation, he arrived again at the Dean-
ery ; and yesterday he confirmed all persons who were deemed
in a fit state to receive the sacred rite, and were residing within
the walls of 'Winchester, and holding a visitation also on the
clergymen who are living within the before-mentioned Deanery.
His Lordship began confirming early in the morning, and at
eleven the cathedral-service began : The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Dr. Woodcock, Rector of Michelmarsh, after which
the Bishop delivered a most excellent charge to his clergy as-
sembled. It might be said, that in it he recommended every
virtue to be practised by them, and cautioned them from falling
into the snares most incident to human failings. It is to be
wished that both the sermons and the Bishop's charge may be
printed, as much good must ensue if they have the proper and
intended effect on the minds and actions of the readers. After
the visitation the Bishop invited the clergy to dine with him at
the White Hart, after which his Lordship set off to Rosehill,
(the residence of the Earl of Northesk), where he intended to
sleep. Dr. Woodcock lamented the want of a proper residence
for his Lordship in Winchester, that he might thereby exer-
cise the virtues of hospitality, and personally know the conduct
and character of his clergymen, so that he might bestow his
great patronage on the most worthy.

opposed a resistance, were cut to pieces.

" It is not without reason, that the friends of thei-nonarchy
regard the capture of the forts of Urgel as of the greatest im-
portance for the Army of the Faith. Besides the great re-
sources which this position offers, there were found in the fort
—seven 24-pounders, thirteen 18-pounders, two 12-pounders;
two 8-pounders, twenty-three 4-pounders, several mortars,
25,688 balls, 6,716 bombs, 335 quintals of bullets, 600,000 cart-
ridges, 700 quintals ofpowder, &c. and a variety of stores.

dated June 23, as follows :-
" I received an estafette yesterday evening from St. Gregoire,
bringing .the news that our troops have been well received
every where where they passed, and that every one joins our
brave soldiers.—A detachment of 50 Constitutionalists, going
in pursuit of the Royalists, were attacked by the latter and
pursued to the environs -of Gerona. The Commandant Nou
and some soldiers were killed ; the victors had only one man
wounded.

" I am informed that the reinforcement which left Figueras,
and marched towards Gerona, was taken by our troops. The
day before yesterday 240 men marched from Gerona towards
Banolas, but having learnt that a division of Defenders of
the Faith were in the environs, they precipitately returned.
" I know that the Cernmandant Lloveras has retired to Bar-
' celona, after having quitted his uniform. Ile concealed him-
self there to repose after his long fatigue, arid did not wish to
hear any thing of the combat.".—(Quotidienne.)

THE KING V. SoUTHEN.

This was an indictment against the defendant for a nuisance,
in carrying on the business of a slaughterer, ih Warwick.lane,
Newgate-street, to the great annoyance of his neighbours.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the COMMON SERJEANT,•
➢lr. BOLLAND, and Mr. TINDAL conducted the prosecution ;
and Mr. ADOLPHUS, Mr. COOPER, and Mr. KIRKMAN the
defence.

Several respectable neighbours proved that the defendant's°
business was an intolerable nuisance.

The defence was, that he conducted his business in as in-
noxious a manner as possible ; that there were eight or nine
other slaughterers in the same lane, whose business was the
source of the nuisance complained of ; and that the public
benefit required that the supposed nuisance should be tolerated.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was clearly of opinion that the
defendant's business was a nuisance, and must be abated.—
Verdict—Guilty.

papers which the House had heard read into consideration, and
also the manner in. which they had been communicated to the
public, and the medium through. which they had appeared,
there could be no doubt that they were intended offensively ;
and that amounted to a breach. of privilege. The circumstance
of this being communicated by such a channel as a public
newspaper was a strong confirmation of the existence of such
an intention.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he had no hesita-
tion in making up his mind regarding the decided breach of
privilege ; and under all the circumstances they ought to order
the parties to the bar.
Mr. COURTENAY then moved—" That the said publica-
tion, taking notice of the speech of a Member in this House, is
a breach of its privileges:
The motion was agreed to.
The Marquis LONDONDERRY thought they had best
issue their order at once to Mr. Menzies, having his name signed
to the papers, without en'ai?gling themselves with forms as to
the proof of his being the writer.
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to express his perfect concurrence
with the Noble Lurd, on the propriety of not allowing the
House to be entangled with forms upon an occasion like the
present. Form was the hand-maid of justice, and not its op-
ponent. There could be no fear of their proceeding rashly
when they knew there was such a person as illr. Menzies, and
were even in possession of the number of his house.
Mr. COURTENAY moved " That Mr. Menzies be or.
dered to attend at the bar of this House to-morrow week.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

Mr. Western's importaht Resolutions on the
state of the country were to have come on last
night, but the House was taken up with a new
and very enormous breach of privilege committed
by some of those functionaries of the law and
conservators of the King's peace who have done
such miracles for the morals and tranquillity of
the realm it, Scotland. A few days ago Mr.
Abercromby was compelled to bring before the
notice of the House the conduct of the Lord Ad-
vocate and several of his deputies, who had been
concerned in the infamous Beacon, and the tur-
bulent and fatal consequences which grew out
of itsmiost scandaloug libels. Two Advocates,
named Hope and Menzies, were referred to by
Mr. Abercromby in the course of his state-
ment---4which, it is to be remarked, was ..one'
of exemplary moderation throughout. These'
persons, with whom the Lord Advocate COft-,
lesced—to strengthen the general • peace.and
attachment to the laws of course—have sought
an explanation. Mr. Hope manifests his respect
for, the constituted authorities by a -pamphlet,
in which be charges Mr. Abercromby-with wil-
ful misrepresentation, injustice, illiberality, and
all the other deadly this ascribed, by orderly

ENGLISH OPERA HousE.—Four of those lively
dramatic sketches which characterize in general
the management of this Theatre wererepresented
last night, and all with suitable effect, before a
very numerous and highly gratified audience.
The first was Love among the Roses, the second
The Spoiled Child, the third Belles without
Beaux, and the last The Romp. As the per-
formers in general possess an established reputa-
tion, it is only necessary to notice the exertions
of Miss CLARA FISHER in Little Pickle, in
the second piece, and Priscilla Tomboy in
the last. It would be injustice to this ex 4
traordinary young Lady to say, that she is
merely extraordinary as a child, as she is ex-
cellent as an actress. She performed both of
these characters with critical precision and ad-
mirable spirit. Her singing and incidental
dancing displayed equal, and we may add won-
derful, ability, and the Manager deserves the
thanks of the Public for having brought before
them such a prodigy of various theatrical talents.

FROM PORTO Rico.—A letter from St. John's,
dated the 17th ult., states as follows :—" Re-
specting the threatened attack upon this Island,
we have little to fear, as the principal ring-
leaders, who have had their commission from the
Government of St. Domingo, have been secured,
and some of them shot, and several vessels with
men in arms have been detained at Curacoa."

FROM THE BRAZILS.-The Blucher, at Balti-
more, brought Buenos Ayres Papers to the 7th,
and Rio to the 26th Sept. Preparations were
making to crown the Prince Regeitt as Em-
peror on the 12th of October, as also for defence
against his Mother Country in case of resistance.
For the latter purpose 400,000 milreas has been
borrowed of the merchants. Many European
Portuguese were preparing to quit the Courts.—
Eight thousand troops had already been raised
in and about Rio, two vessels of war were fitting
out, and all the points on the coast were about
being fortified ; all persons opposed to Govern-
ment had been ordered to leave the country.

THE CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

The late vacancy for the University of Cam-
bridge was an event that could not but excite
a strong interest in the minds of all friends to
our excellent, our unrivalled, Establishment in
Church and State, which places the British Go-
vernment upon an eminence far above every other
upon Earth. We had no anxiety upon the sub-
ject, for we knew too much of Cambridge Uni-
versity to doubt that it would do honour to itself
and give satisfaction to the Country by the wis-
dom and rectitude of its choice. Such has been
the fact, and such judgment, we trust, will ever
mark the decisions of this learned and revered
University. We are indebted for the following
Letter to The Bury Gazette, (Dec. 4,) a Jour-
nal which has been properly brought forward by
the sound friends of the Constitution in Church
and State, in order to 'discountenance that spirit
of Party which has lately been too apparent in
the County of Sussex, arid which Journal has al-
ready attained such an extensive circu:ltion as is
highly honourable to the principles of the inhabi-
tants' at large. We presume that the following
Letter comes from the Author of the admirable
letters in the same Journal which so ably de-
fended the- QUESTIONS of the venerable BISHOP
of PETERBOROUGH, which we copied into THE
SUN, and which we had reason to hope would be

valour where gain and danger invite, which, with
the whole navy at command, could not even pro-
tect our own merchantmen against a few san-
guinary pirates on the coast of Cuba. It will
not be long, therefore, before we begin to take a
public part in the contest. The only chance, as
it appears to us, that the war should be soon ter-
minated is, that France should fail at the begin-
ning.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The continental mails received in the course
of yesterday, bring no news of material import-
ance. In the Paris papers there is abundance of
dissertation, and nothing more, if we except the
Royal Ordonnance which raises M. de Montmo-
rency to the Dukedom. If there be any thing
remarkable in this dignity conferred, it is that
no notice appears to have been taken of
his diplomatic colleague at Verona, M. de
Chateaubriand. It is rather singular that none
of the French Marshals, or of the Gene-
rals, who gained experience and distinction
in the old French armies, are mentioned
as about the Court or the War Department.—
Marshal Victor, the present War Minister, is
a person whose military reputation broke down
under him in 1814, and may therefore be pre-
sumed not to stand very high in the confidence
of the soldiers or the Generals. Many of the
latter have already had a woful experience of
Peninsular campaigning. That which we look
forward to with most interest is the echo which
the Spanish Government, the Cortes;and the po-
pulation of Madrid, will give to what may be
looked upon as a declaration of war. This,
however, may be much more safely anticipated
than the result of the invasion.

Capt. Hunter's death are somewhat remarkable. As he was
opening a cow, supposed to have been poisoned in some way
or other, he received a slight wound, which became Mune
diately impregnated with the poison, and, in less than anhourtit
was diffused over the whole system, in consequence of which re
died in about ten days.

PEDESTRIANISM.

MILLER'S LAST DAY'S TASK.—He started yesterday morn-
ing from the Pigeons, to accomplish his toil of four successive
days,:undertaking to walk 54 miles each day in 14 hours, precisely
at five o'clock, and went the first 141 miles 28 m. before 9 ; 21
miles more by 10 in. past 9 ; 2 by 25 to 10; 2 by 10 ; 2, 26 past
10; 2, by 8 in. to 11 ;2,by19 m. past 11; 2, by 10 to 12 ;
and 5, by 8 m. to I.—here he stopped for the first time in the
day, and took dinner, making a delay of only 16 m. ; he then
proceeded and went 8 miles by 3 o'clock; 8, by 5; and the last
8, by 31 in. before 7 o'clock, to the Crown and Barley Slow,
Gray's Inn-lane—thus accomplishing his arduous undertaking.
Miller started in good spirits, the air was frosty, and every thing
seemed favourable to him ; he kept on well until dinner time,
when he was obliged to change his shoes, being extremely wet
and uncomfortable. He had not proceeded far on the road, be-
fore he found they did not sit easy on his feet, and he was so un-
fortunately situated as not to be enabled to change them ; they
caused him great pain, and nothing but his extreme intrepidity
enabled bins to bear up in his situation. The rain commenced
when within the last six miles of completing his journey, which
with the torture he endured almost every step he took from
the shoes, had nearly lost his match. When he arrived in
Gray's Inn-lane he seemed greatly fatigued. Miller is as re-
solute a walker as we ever saw ; but he cried out repeatedly on
the road, and at last got quite cross-sick, observing " this was
the hardest day's work he had ever done. He had frequently
done wonders both in running and walking for one day, but
he pledged himself never to undertake a walk of four days any
more."
WRIGHT may be justly called a Game Chicken, for he
started off from Gray's Inn-lane yesterday, morning at three
o,clock, got to the six miles to Stratford, and then walked the
ground with Miller for amusement, and came back as fresh as
• a/our-year old.
