THE GREYS OF HOWICK.

The following historical facts afford ample testimony
how little Kings and Queens are indebted to the patri-
otic and disinterested house of

1. Sir Thomas Grey, of Howiek, executed for high
treason (temp. Henry V.)
2. Thomas Grey, of Howiek, put his name second to
the death warrant of Charles I. _

3. The present Earl Grey, when Member for Nor.
thumberland, was Chairman of a treasonable society,
called the Friends of the People (temp. George Ill.)
Ile appeared in coloured clothes in the House of Coin_.
mons in the year 1790 on the murder of the King and
Queen of France, every other member, without excep-
tion, wearing deep mourning ! ! !-11.ewcastle Journal.
[Grievous offences, no doubt. It no opposition had
been made to Kings and Queens should we ever have
heard of our free :Constitution, which miserable .Tory
Journalists say is so perfect that none but sacrilegious
hands would touch it, of course the Newcastle Journalist
would, even in the present day, submit to tyranny like
that of Henry VIII. rather than offend Kings or Queens
It is honourable to the house of Howl& that they have:
so long defended the cause of liberty.]

FASHION and WONDER is still honoured by the elite of
the metropolis; in short, boxes, pit, and gallery are nightly
overilowinc, with admiring hundreds, who with one voice pro-
claim—The Great Wizard of the North, the great master of
scientific delusion ! the wonder of the age ! the miracle of the
nineteenth century ! He will nightly continue to demonstrate
the fallacy of the wisdom of our ancestors, " that seeing is be-
lieving." He will exhibit such wondrous phenomena, that if
only heard of would never be believed, and even when seen
cause the universal exclamation of " incredible !"

The Great Wizard of the North begs to inform the musical
the bell-ringers of London, and the public generally, that he
has engaged the SEVEN HARMONIOUS YOUTHS; or,
Lancashire Bell ringers, whose extraordinary performance on
fourteen bells has created a great sensation in the North of
England. The sensation having reached the Wizard, he has
engaged them, and imported them direct from the North.
They will have the honour of appearing for the first time before
the public of the metropolis between the parts of the Wizard's
performance, pealing forth their " merrie strains," recalling
the memory of the "golden days of good Queen Bess" and
" merrie England."

RUMOURS Or THE DAY.

A telegraphic account appears in one of the French
papers that the Saone had become again flooded, and
overflowed its banks.

The repeated rumours in the Times respecting
Mr. Scholefield's retirement from Birmingham are tor
tally without foundation.
A serious split has taken place among the Con-
servatives of Lincolnshire, about the division of 10,0001.
sent down by the Carlton Club to defeat Lord Worsley.
There will be many more splits when the scramble for
plunder takes place in the autumn.

NAVAL AND WILITARY.

-,-- Accounts were received on Saturday from Jama
(ha t the crew of her Majesty's ship Skilljack, lost on the
2d of Julie on the Caymans, were saved, and that the
Ifornet had sailed from Jamaica to assist ia saving the
Mores.

t LAW AND POLICE.
k An action has just been tried before Lord Denman,
at the assizes of the Northern Circuit, whereby the
Plaintiff charged the defendant with maliciously imput-
il lug forgery to bim. Perjury-, however, was proved upon
acceptor of the bill, cad 5(.11. damages were found for
.1) he plaintiff. The "sweeptor, awuu of the name of
4145 'S
14(114,teck well, was conunitted to prison.
issues dixveted by the AuiWr of Ole Rolls to

be tried at the approaching Gloucester assizes respecting
the will of the late James Wood, have been delivered,
and the notice of trial has been served on the parties. It
was bad enough to spend thousands upon thousands in
the Courts in London, but to carry on this wilful destruc-
tion of the old miser's property in his native city is
enough to rouse the dead.

--on Saturday the case of Mr. Williams, the Common
Councilman of the City, who was so brutally treated by
the Greenwich police on the 13th inst., came again
before the Magistrate on a charge preferred against the
police for unnecessarily taking him into custody. The
evidence given by one of the inspectors will excite
public indignation. The charge was dismissed, though
the Magistrate, after s most searching investigation into
Mr. Williams' habits, and how and where he spent the
evening, declared that there was not the slightest slur to
be cast on his character.

SPORTING.
Cootes, the pedestrian, completed his Herculean
task of 1,000 half miles in 1,000 half hours on Wednes-
day last. The feat was performed in the Green Hills
Garden, Norwich, and doubles the labour of Captain
Barclay's celebrated match.
Brighton races take place the week after next, which
time unfortunately, is fixed for the assizes. The entries
are numerous, and there is prospect of good sport.

LITERARY.
Messrs. Goschen, booksellers at Leipsic, have
lodged a complaint against the Bibliographical Institute
for publishing a spurious edition of Weisland's Observtr,
and seizure has been made of all the copies.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,
I: a Dissolution of Parliament takes place,
-111- and you would like to be represented by an Old Sailor, I
am at your service.

My political opinions are, I believe, well known ; but to avoid
mistakes, I shall state them shortly. I wish to see the Vote
by Ballot become the law of the land. I wish to see the du-
ration of Parliament shortened ; the Corn-laws repealed ; a
liberal commercial policy adopted, and a general system of
education established throughout the kingdom.
If I have the honour of becoming your Representative, I
shall endeavour to secure to you the continuance of your local
privileges, and to advance, to the utmost of my power, the com-
fort and happiness of my fellow-countrymen.
I shall be happy to see the Electors at a Public Meeting as
early as possible, and shall be ready to answer any questions
that may be put to me.

I am, your most obedient servant,

HE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The late
rains have nriter:ailv improved the appearance of the crops of
corn and grass in n.iAb,,urbooit. Wheat, and the vane
tie; of spring corn, give promise of an abundant harvest; and
the hopes of the farmers were scarcely ever brighter at this
period of the year. The cultivation of the Italian Rye-grass
will probably he attempted to some extent during the prevent
year ; its prolific and frequent crops, and its nutritious nature
as an article of food for cows, render its growth most impor-
tant to the occupiers of mil farms; and as it has been success-
fully cultivated in the neighbourhood of Halifax, it is to be
hoped that many will be induced to give it a trial in this
neighbourhood.-Bradford Observer.

--
The Morning Chronicle contains a leading article on the
subject of the Bishop of Exeter's motion in the House of Lords
on Monday night, in the course of which our Contemporary
observes--" The Bishop of Exeter overreached himself by
presuming too much on the ignorance and gullibility of the
House he was addressing. The Marquis of Normanby pur-
sued him unrelentingly through all his doublings, and con-
victed the Right Reverend Prelate of repeated misrepresenta-
tions, and even of something worse. The scene is described
to us by those who were present as rich in effect beyond ex-
ample. The writhings of the Bishop under the castigation he
received, and the effect of each successive blow on his counte-
nance, but above all, his demeanour when he found himself t
left absolutely ' alone in his glory,' not a single Peer utter-
ing one word in his defence—even Lord Lyndhurst, to
whom he vainly appealed in heart-rending accents, walk-
ing out of the House with a shake of the head, would
have afforded an admiable study for an actor." The
Morning Post, alluding to Mr. O'Connell's recent address to
the Irish people, says :—" Notwithstanding all the political
power that Mr. O'Connell has wielded, the circumstances of
the great bulk of his countrymen are much worse than
when his career began. they are more ignorant,
more ferocious, more destitute of the ordinary comforts
of life, than when he first visited them with the
heavy curse of his advocacy and leadership." The Morn-
ing Advertiser thus comments on the attack made on the Duke
of Wellington yesterday by the Times:—" His Grace may have
grown sold in years ; his memory may be less quick and accu-
rate than in former days ; but opposed as we are to his politics,
no mistake that he may commit shall induce us to join in the
filthy ribaldry which it has pleased the Times to pour upon him.
In all matters with which his Grace is acquainted, he inva-
riably exhibits a manly, straightforward, and clear-seeing
judgment—in others, of which his pursuits in life have afforded
him no opportunity of knowledge, he may expose himself to
the ridicule of the scoffer and the malignant observation of the
bigoted and narrow-minded; but. in the language of the great
bard of Scotland, as immortal as the Duke himself, " he is a
man for a' that," and base is the tongue, and uncharitable the
spirit, that. will utter anything to his dispraise, or in deprecia-
tion of his merits." The Morning Herald, speculating on
the chances of a war with America, remarks as follows:
" Detesting war in the abstract it
when but especially depreciating t
when the belligerents are two great nations connected by the
tics of blood and all the arts of civilisation--we shall rejoice at
any event which may yet allay, in time, the fierce heart-burn-
ings of national jealousy, or repress the reckless excesses of
nolitical partisanship."

We learn from the Montreal Courier of Wednes-
day, that a Proclamation was agreed in Council on
Monday last, summoning a Parliament to meet at

during the month of March ; and it is, we understand,
eontemrlated thai Parliament should meet for the de-
1-a'cli of hus'i.e:s some time in May, by which time the
arrangements at Kingston will Le completed, and the
openii;g of the navigation may be expected to afford
ever) facility to the Members of the Legislature to ar-
rive FA the scat of Government.

The following appointments have ben made :

DEATH OF JUDGE BAREOUR.—This morning the
Hon. Philip P. Barbour, a Judge of the Supreme
Court of the Ut.ited States, was found dead in his bed.
He was on the bench yesterday, and retired to rest st
an early hour, in perfect lica!th, and in fine and buoyant
spirits, with which he was peculiarly best. Not a ruffle
was observed on the bed-clothes ; he seems to have died
not only without a struggle, but with scarcely the mov-
ing of a limb. He was an amiable and good man, and
was &rout 60 years of age. Ile came into Congress in
the year 1814. the last year of the war with Eugiend,
and immerliattly took a distinguished Ical as an able
and adroit debater. He remained in Congress many
years, and was chosen Speaker its opposition to John
W. Tit) lor, in 1821. Ile occupied the Speaker's char
two years, when it was resumed by the great Clay. He
continued in Congress t;11 1830, when he was calied to
the Supreme Bench of his native State, and finally,
about the year 1834, was appointed by General Jack-
son a Judge of the Supreme Curt. Ho possessed
vast powers of mind, was a profound lawyer, but was
too much given to abstratA;ons and huir-spiitting ever to
become a great st stesman. He was brother to Gover-
nor Barbour, was once Senator Irons Virginia, then Se-
cretary of War, and Minister to England under Mr.
Adams, and, lastly, President of the Harrisburg Con-
vention which Dominated General Harrison. The
Judge was Loco Foco—the Gowrnor Whig.

SAFETY OF NIAGARA GAOL.—Wc learn by the
Lockport Coulicr, that a meeting has been held there,
inspecting the alleged imecurity of the county gaol for
the sate keeping of Al`Leod. It seems all ri asonablc
precautions are, and have been cf late, taken to ensure
his safety. The sheriff, one of his deputies, the gaoler,
and two other persons hired for the purpose, keep
w.,teh by turns every night to give the alarm in cute
of at tick front without (sr attempt to escape within.
Still the meeting appoiuied a committee to watt on the
JutL:ee, and rt quest them to give the necessary order
for his removal to the gaol of sonic adjacent county less
favourable for his escape.— Rochester Democrat.
