CAPTAIN ROCK.

Borl.t, Nov. 13.—The aline, 90 denounced,
are, it might appear, introducing their cowardly principles
into our hitherto peaceable vicinity. On Monday night'
last the herd of James Knott, Esq., of Battlefield, in this
neighbourhood, was visited by some of the Thiekites—thesc
civil gentry proceeded to administer an oath to his herd, at
Knockbrack, making him swear, by their threats, that he
would immediately relinquish the service of his master__
To this the poor man, in order to evade the vengeance which
they vowed, complied ; but, on being released from the
clutches of these daring wretches, he communicated the circum-
stance to his worthy master, at whose instigation the man re-
tains his situation, and . who, in conjunction with 29 other
Gentlemen, have offered a liberal reward for the persecution of
the fellows concerned.

Scnoomn E No—The favourite topic of discussion
among the schoolmen of the middle age,or of the

lowing quibbling problem
" When a hog is carried to market, with a rope about its
whether
neck, which rope is held at the other end by a man—
is the hog carried to market by the rope, or by the man ?"
A question which, though discussed by thousands
of acute logicians, was still left unresolved.

G lANERN AND, bUTCLIPAPERS.

FRANK vo wr, J ur.ir 19.-11 France, on account
of its internal policy, and especially with respect to the finances,
excites the general attention of Europe, it is England on the
other hand whose foreign policy attracts! the chief notice. We
look to the part which she is again on the point of playing in
the system of the European Continent ; from which many
perhaps have latterly been inclined to believe that she had vo.
luntarily excluded herself, and confined herself at the most to
a negative, because the practice of the day did not accord with
the theories. The result will very shortly inform us what we
are to think on this head.—But far more interesting is her fu-
ture conduct with respect to the new States that have arisen In
America on the ruins of the Spanish Power. There are many
persons who, notwithstanding the declamations on this subject
in the last Session of Parliament, will not believe that the
Etritish Government seriously thinks of recognizing their in-
dependence; .because such un act might lead to consequences
with respect to her own extra European plissessiona which might
by no means agree with the predominant principle and object of
Mr. Canning's policy, as publicly proclaimed by himself. For
though it might very Well suit England's own advantage to sea
the great transatlantic commercial mart freed from all Euro-
peso' supremeey, it would certainly not he willing to renounce
the dominion which she exercises herself over such extensive
countries in both hemispheres, and which, she cannot but own,
are bound to the mother country by much more slender ties than
the :banish American Colonies were with Old Spain. Whe,.
dier such a general emancipation of all the extra European
possessions of the Maritime Powers might not be advanta-
geous to the interest of commerce, to the progress of
maim, anti to humanity in general, is indeed another clues..
don, the discussion of which would far exceed the limits of
this article. We would merely point out that the South
American question, howeva urgent it may seem at this
moment, though it may be viewed in various and not.
withstanding all differences of opinion, is not such as seriously
to threaten any interruption in the harmony subsisting between
the Stews of our quarter of the • globe.—(.4llconeine Zeitung,

SHREWSBURY, JULY 30.

( From Me Shrewsbury Chronicle.)
THE SHROPSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
held its last Show of Stock on Friday.—Thirty or fortyindi.
viduals. and nearly as many cattle and sheep, appeared in the
field at 12 o'clock ; and although the Stock which was shown
was capital, yet its insignificance, compared with the extent of
the county, and the character of its Agriculturists, made it ob.
vious that a few only of the former supporters of the Society
deigned now to honour it with their presence, and that its death
was agreed to almost by common consent. For this apathy to
the interests of an institution apparently calculated to do so
much good, we must refer our readers not to any want of spirit
In the Agriculturists themselves, but to a feeling of dissatisfac.
tion, which will be best explained by referring to the speeches
of Mr. Jones, and the others who took an interest to the last in
furthering the objects of the Society.
The Judges of the Show, Messrs. Broome, Legh, and
Hughes, awarded the premiums as follows :-
1. A premium of five pounds for the best one year old short..
woolled Ram, to Mr. R. Blakeway.
2. A premium of five pounds for the best one year old long.
woolled Ram—no competitor.
3. A premium of ten pounds for the best pen of ten short..
woolled 'rheaves, Mr. John Edmunds.
4. A premium of ten ..unds for the best pen of ten long..
woolled '!'heaves, to Mr. .. r.
6. A premium of ten poun. s for the best pair of two years
old Durham Heifers, to T. Beale, Esq.
6. A premium of tan pounds for the best pair of two year
old Hereford Heifers, Mr. A. D. Jones.
7. A premium of ten pounds for the best Durham Bull,
not exceeding four years old on the last January, 1824,—n0
competitor.
8. A premium of ten pounds for the best Hereford Bull of
the like age, to J. Ravenshaw, Esq.
9. The turnip premium of 1823. to Mr. R. Blakeway.
Some extra stock shown by Messrs. Rave/Wyly, and isoothby
called forth great admiration.
At 3 o'clock upwards of twenty gentlemen sat down to an
excellent dinner at the Raven Inn.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, A Uoa, 2.
Before Lord GIFFORD.
PECL v. SIR WM. BEECHEY AND ANOTHER, EXECUTORS
or THE LATE WILLIAM NOLLIXENS.
Mr. lianT, on the part of the defendant, said that this was
an application for an order to direct a commission to issue for
examining witnesses abroad, to ascertain the next of kin of the
late Mr. Nollikens, the celebrated sculptor. The deceased died
possessed of considerable property, one-fourth of which was by
his will to go to his next of kin, on whose behalf the executors
made this application. The defendants also prayed that the
sum of 3001. might be paid out of the testator's estate to defray
the expence of the commission, should it be granted ; and it
appeared that Sir IVm. Beechey had obtained a certificate from
the Master to show the propriety of it.
Mr. SUDDEN opposed the application. The persons claim-
ing to be next of kin to the testator resided in the Netherlands,
and were of the same name with him; it was not therefore
difficult to discover them. It was quite impossible that such a
commission as that now called for could be granted by the
Court, for it had been decided by the Chancellor over and over
again, that no person who claimed to be next of kin to a party
deceased should receive money out of his estate in order to ob-
tain evidence in support of his claim. Those decisions were
founded on the strictest principles of equity and justice ; for
suppose the person had failed in establishing his claim, and
that another should succeed in doing so, it would be most un-
fair
that the latter should have his property encumbered with
any charge so created. It was not consistent with the practice
of the Court to grant applications of this description on the
part of executors, and least of all was the principle to be ad-
mitted in the present instance, for Sir Vim. Beechey was a re-
siduary legatee.
Mr. JAcon and Mr. MARTIN followed on the same side,
and Mr. Holm appeared for the other executor.
11r. HARI., In reply, submitted that this was not the petition
of one individual againatthe claim of another, but of executors,
whose sole object was to obtain a full and fair inquiry, in order
that the Court, when it came to consider the report of the
Master, might be supplied with sufficient evidence. He de-
nied that the rule of the Court was such as it had been de-
scribed by his Learned Friend Mr. Sugden; for in General
I'aoli's case, money wax granted by the Court out of the estate
to defray the expence of a commission of inquiry.
Lord Girronn said, that in his opinion, the parties must
apply for the commission to issue at their own expence. If it
were granted, it would be proper that some person should at-
tend it, and no person was more proper than one of the execu-
tors, whom, perhaps, in such case the Court might indemnify.
Mr. HART then said he would confine his motion to the
commission alone, omitting the expence, but
The Court declined granting it.—Motion refused.

WINDSOR, AUGUST 2.—This day the weather, which
was lowered yesterday, having become remarkably fine, his
MAJESTY, with his usual attendants, took an airing of consi-
derable length in Windsor Great Park. A rumour having
been circulated in London, during the course of the last week
that his Majesty had experienced another slight attack of ill-
ness, it gives us the greatest pleasure confidently to state tha
it had not the smallest foundation. His Majesty looks remarkt..
ably well, and has for some time past been rapidly acquiring
strength.

CORPORATION OF DUBLIN.

An unusually large assemblage of the Corporation took place
on Tuesday, at their Assembly.house, %William-street, from
whence they proceeded in procession, headed by the High She.
riffs, to the Alansion-house, for the purpose of presenting the
superb piece of Plate voted to the Lady Alayoress.
On their arrival they were received into the anti-room by his
Lordship's Officers (the servants in bill state liveries), and
were from thence introduced into the reception-room, where
they were received by the Lady Mayoress, who was surrounded
by a number of Ladies. The Town Clerk' read the following
Address

The Town Clerk then presented to the Lady Mayoress a
salver of the most magnificent appearance. Her Ladyship,
although somewhat agitated by so marked a compliment, re.
turned her thanks with much dignity, in the following terms :
" GENTLEMAN OF THE CORPORATION.—Permit me to
return my most sincere and heartfelt thanks, for the tliitin-
guished honour you have conferred upon me, and my Lord
Mayor." _ _

Her Ladyship then addressed herself in conversation to the
Gentlemen near her, until the great Oak Room was thrown
open, where the tables were covered in the moat profuse man-
ner, with the most costly viands, fruits, wines, ices, &c. &c.
The party haring regaled themselves, and tilled a bumper
toast, which was drank with enthusiasm to the health of the
Lady Mayoress, they then retired, highly gratified at their very
hospitable reception.

DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.

The annual contest for a Coat and Silver Badge, left by,. old
Dogget, the Comedian, was yesterday displayed upon the
Thames. Six young waterm en started, as usual, from the Swan,
at I..ondon Bridge, to row to the Swan at Chelsea. The parties
pulled well, and afforded a very interesting display. Above
Vauxhall George Pogo took the lead, and reached the Swan,
leaving all the others a considerable distance behind. He was
accordingly hailed winner of the Prize, and received the Coat
and Badge. This is the second honour gained by his family.
His grandfather, an honest and expert waterman, also won the
Coat and Badge. The second boat was entitled, by the terms
of the legacy, to 21.125. 6d. There was much company on the
River, and in the cool retreats which margin the scene of con'.

MARLBOROUGN-STIMET (This Day.)--Mr.
JARRIN, the confectioner In Bond-street, at-
tended at the Office to state some further particu-
lars which had come to his knowledge relative
to the atrocious attempt that was made on Satin."
day night last to assassinate Mrs. Jarrln. From
his statement it would appear that the act was
committed by a tall and elgantly-dressed gentle,-
man, who was observed on the opposite side of
the way, with a large stick in his hand, which it
is since believed was an air-gun. He was ob•
served to have raised the stick towards his breast,
in a parallel direction towards the window, and
immediately after the bullet passed within an inch'
of Mrs. J.'s person. The gentleman then walked
off hi a hurried and agitated manner. At the mo-
input another gentlemaiyall in statere,dressed in a
dark coat, stood near the window and when the
shop girl ran out, she questioned him, after which
he went off quick in the same direction as the
other person. From the description given, it is
hoped the police will in a few days bring the
parties to justice.

QUEEN.SQUARE.--(Tuis DAY.)
Guoss AssAut..r.—A tall stout man, describing
himself a coal•meter, was brought up from the

assaulting the watchman. It appeared from the
evidence, that about five o'clock this morning,
the prisoner was in Cannon-row, knocking vie.
leutly at a Gentleman's door, and on being told
to go away, ho was very abusive and struck
at every person ; in the watch-house also hie
behaviour was outrageous in the extreme, and
many of the watchmen suffered through his vio.
fence severely. The prisoner, in his defence,
said he had no knowledge whatever of striking
the watchmen. The Magistrate fined him in the
mitigated penalty of 40s. for the offence, ob.
serving, that had he been a man in better circum-
stances than he appeared, he certainly should
have enforced the full amount of 51.

CURIOUS GAIL
BYLLIVANT v. CVLLING.---Tilliil was all tidier*
to recover the sum of 75!. for nine years' relit, due
by the defendant, and also in reality to make
good the plaintiff's title to a house and stable,
which the defendant had occupied for the above
period without paying any rent for it. The facts
of the case were—the defendant occupied a house
at Chelsea, let to him on lease, and about nine
years since a house and stable were erected on
the ground at the back of the house, for the latter
of which tie was bound to pay 81. yearly. This
he had regularly done up to the time in question,
but a short time since he left the place, and sold
the lease of the premises. In this situation the
plaintiff had recourse to this Court, as the most
luminary mode by which, if he could not obtain
the rack rent, ho would make out his title to it
in future. Notices were of course served on the
parties, neither of whom appeared, and two wit-
nesses having proved the facts laid iu the venue,
efie Jtiry found a verdict for the plaintiff 751.

FRENCH PAPERS.

ir From the Etoik, dated Monday, Nov. 8.)
PARIS, Nov. 7.—The three German Mails
which were due have arrived altogether this
morning. The Papers which they bring contain
nothing remarkable, except the following extract
of a letter from Trieste :

" Accounts from Smyrna of the 30th Oct.
state,-that the' fleet of the Captain Pacha, after
Miring suffered dreadfully, has retired to the
Dardanelles to repair the damage it has sus-
tained. The Greeks affirm that the Turks have
separated from the Egyptians.: both are reduced
to a small number of vessels.

" Letters from Smyrna add,- that the friends
or the Captain Paella cannot help consider-
ing him as -a ruined man. If he escapes the
'Victorious Greeks, he will not escape the ven.l
'evince of his master, Who will make him respon-
sible for ail the disasters of this campaign."
M. Lefort, accused of an attempt to commit a
murder in .the house of his Royal Highness-the
Duke of Bourbon, was arrested yesterday, at
nine in the evening, in a village in-the environs of
Versailles, by the agents of the Prefecture of
the Police, and brought to Paris, where 'he is-
now confined.
Since the 2d of this month the rise•of the Ile
had ceased ; the streets and quays of Strasburg,-
which it had inundated, are pretty clear again.
The fall of the.water is ascribed to the breaking
-of a Alyke. The environs of Strasburg, viewed
from the-tap of the Cathedral, form a vast lake.
The damage caused by the waters is immense.
The inhabitants .of Robertsan are in great
alarm' for tits-dykes of the Rhine.
We learraroin Lyon that the Saone had been
rising for same days in an alarming manner. The
weather continued rainy, and these was every
reason to fear an inundation.

The Flanders Journals state that the waters
of the Meuse and the Ourthe continue to rise.—
Letters from Iliedelberg say that that city and
t►ae environs are inundated. The water is five
feet higher than in the inundation of 1817, and
four feet higher than in that of 1784.

have not been- able to see, without great displeasure,
refractoriness, which, in' both cases, rknow to be founded on
no reason, In the face of positive damage which commercial
affairs suffer from the deficiency of Members in the College des-
,tintsi to decide on them. This abuse of persons exempting
•themselves • from particular offices, -probably reckoned of no
• utility to their private interests, is scandalous in subjects, who
" taught to obey the supreme will of their King, -and to advance
the service of his Majesty in the society of which they form a
pert. Hence all those- who, from indolence or disaffection, re-
...fuse the high honour which his Majesty confers upon them in
-thinking them worthy of his confie. ace, and who wish to enjoy
th blessings which the Sovereign and the'laws confer upon the
State without submitting on their part to suffer any of its bur-
dens, render themselves for ever unworthy of-any consideration
from his Majesty.
" Submit these considerations to the notice of the above-
named persons, and at the same time announce to them that
their alleged reasons not being sufficient to obtain the desired
.ercemption, they must immediately undertake the discharge of
the office with which his Majesty has been pleased to honour
them, and that they are responsible for all the consequences
-which the service of the King, the public interest, ,and the
course of commercial business may suffer, either from their
capricious delay in commencing their active duties, or from
their ncgligence'in filling the office which has been conferred
upon them.

THE KING.

Bision TON, FEB. 3.—As yesterday, the gratifying reply to
enquirers at the Palace to-day is—" His MAJESTY'S health

continues to improve."

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.----Consols opened this
morning at 904 to 91. There was a great bustle
at the opening of the Market, all anxious to
know the first price. At the opening the KING'S
Speech had no effect on the Market, but soon
after they became heavy, and gradually declined
to 904 a, and, up to this hour, they are 0081 for
the Account, and 901 to 901 for 'Money, with a
heavy Market, and little doing.
FOREIGN MARKET.—Very little business is

price they remain steady.

SHOOTING.

The season for shooting game is noW drawing to a conclusion.
We therefore remind our readers that there is a penalty of five
Pounds for every bird of the following descripdon found in
any person's possession. By 2 Geo. 111. (which is neither re-
pealed ncr modified by any subsequent Act) " no person what-
ever shall take, kill, or have in his custody any partri.lge, be-
tween the 12th: day of February and the first day of Septem-
ber, in each. and every year : nor any pheasant between the
Ist day of February and the Ist day of October : nor any
heath-fowl, commonly called black-game, between the Ist day
of January and the 20th August : nor any grouse, commonly
called red-game, between the Ist of December and the 25th of
July, under the penalty of five pounds, to go to the prosecu-
tor." The late season, by a general arrangement among sport-
ing gentlemen, did not commence till a fortnight after the usual
day, in consequence of the lateness of the harvest : the birds
became strong on the wing, very shy, and, generally speaking,
little execution has been done : there are many coveys left un-
touched, and the breed of both partridges and pheasants may
be expected to be plentiful, if the ensuing season be at all
favourable.

BOXING.

SPRING AND LANGArr.--11-leincids, the friend and trainer
of the latter boxer, arrived in London yesterday from the west
of England, to accommodate the Champion Spring, in another
match of Five Hundred Sovereigns, the sum he has demanded
if ever he fights again. Reynolds asks the fight upon a stage,
and he is ready to deposit NI. Langan is quite up to the mark,
and will shew in London in a day on two. Reynolds oars to
fight any man in the world of his own weight, and he is not
particular to a few pounds in weight, if his opponent is not
taller than himself.

Safety and justice.
As a preliminary to all measures of improvement, persons of
undoubted character for integrity and ability, equo,lly uncon-
nected with the Colonies and those parties who have been
so violent against them, should be sent out to inquire, and re-
port in copcurrence with the resident Governors, as to the actual
condition of the slaves at -the present time. Much would de-
pend on the good sense and candour of the men selected for
this duty : and there is some risk that such a Commission ap-
pearing in the Colonies might excite unreasonable expectations
in the minds of the slaves, and that it might be offensive to the
Colonial Legislatures ; but I can discover no other sate course
that can now be pursued. And the colonists would benefit by
the real facts of their case being ascertained on unquestionable
testimony. c.

A FINE RUN.

Monday seonlOt, Colonel Smith's celebrated harriers had
an almost unprecedented run. They fount! a hare at Hales
Owen, and after crossing Frankley Hills, they made for North_
field, leaving the church on the left. They then went in the
direction for Harborne, but shortly turned to the right for
King's
took the direction of Wcatherick Hill, where they killed the
Norton, which. they left about a mile on the left, and
hare, after a severe run of an hour and twenty minutec, without
a check. The distance in a straight line from where the hare
was found to the place where it was killed, was more than eight
miles, and a great part of the country they crossed was very
heavy. The hare was a remarkably small one.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT
FOR THE COUNTIES OF SALOP, WORCESTER
AND STAFFORD. JAN. 1824.

The general business of this month has not suffered anti;
tervention from severity of weather; it has been uniform'
mild and dry, the land works well and kindly ; the general !ir
pearanee of the wheat is getting too forward, and will went .
little frost to check it, as otherwise it wll get winter proud) 041
produce more straw than grain.
The grain of the last year's growth is generally of fine 9111;
lity, and now that threshing is regularly commenced, we Fr*
look for a reduction of the present newspaper or nominal .
for it is a fact too well known to the farmer, that he can ravel
realize the prices quoted in the general prints, although 0'
purchaser of bread always feels the advance, immediately as 1
is announced.

Farming stock continues looking up, and the aspect of affsio
daily improves ; the country feels the benefit it derives froli!
Peace, by the general reduction of taxation, and the consequeo
increase of the consumption of the necessaries as well as theJ
luxuries of life.

The drill husbandry is making a silent but rapid progre°
throughout the country; the general introduction of the ter;
nip. crop appears to be a main cause of its adoption ; as the,
assist so much in ameliorating and pulverizing the soil.
Potatoes are now much employed in preparing the land 1°
wheat, and in fact a better crop for that purpose cannot ba
grown.

The turnips are very much run ; it is to be hoped a se9el4
frost may speedily, stop their progress, or they will very soon
be useless for a spring feed.
P. 8. I am happy in congratulating you on the gene
aspect of the Country. It shews the excellence of the spate/
which your enlightened and liberal paper has so long A"
strenuously supported.

TURKISH FEMALE COSTUME.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—The following Is
the firma!) of the Grand Srignor respecting the
toilet of the Turkish-women:—
" Since the women must never, when they go out, deviate
from the rules of decency and honour, it is especially necessary
to take care that none of their actions be contrary to the
holy law.

" Aulmperial-firman has•already been published to hinder
' them from wearing embroidered prides and improper colours.
The duty of the officers to whom that &man was addressed
was to see its execution. They have not done so. In these
latter times, therefore, certain women' have been seen to change
the tone of decency and honour for manners the least becoming
in Mussulmen. .They have-•not feared to wear embroidered
feredges, and condemnable colours, and go to the public walks
-with extraordinary veils, which sutler their faces to be seen.
" Such conduct is equally contrary to the divine law, and to
my supreme .will. It is evident that the Government must put
a stop to such an irregularity, and that WIG also the absolute
duty of husbands to take care that their wives do not go out in
a dress which, being irreconcileabla to decency and honour,
cannot be suitable to Illussulman women.

"'Henceforward, therefore, the woman shall not wear em-
broidered Atedges, nor condemnable colours, nor veils artfully
contriyed to show their faces ; whoever be the husband or re.
lotions of all those who may be seen in such a dress, they shall
be niatle answerable, and punished fur the conduct of their
women.

". You, my Cadi, will transmit the present order to all the
Imans to be published in all the quarters, and you will em-
ploy die greatest diligence to hinder the women from going out
in r costume which our imperial will has prohibited.

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The extraordinary attrac-
tion of the revived Comedy of A Woman Never
Vexed will probably induce our Managers to ex-
plore the mines of the old British Drama, and
not to disgust the public with the crude trash of
the day. This sterling old Play was, as usual,
well acted last night, and well attended. The
affecting Afterpiece of The Children in the Wood
followed, and if we cannot say that /Vidter was
as well performed by RAYxrit as by BANNISTER,
jun., the original, or by ELLISTON, his able suc-
cessor, yet he made a strong appeal to general
pthy.

Silt WALTER SCOTT.

[This Gentleman has addressed the following
letter to the Editor of The Morning Post, in con-
sequence of some remarks which appeared in
that Paper respecting a Latin Inscription which
the Baronet had inscribed over the image of his
favourite Dog. The ingenuous frankness and
good humour of the Worthy Baronet, manifested
in this letter, strongly support the general opi-
nion that his moral qualities correspond with his
great intellectual powers.]
Stu—.As I am a friend to truth, even in trifles, I cannot con-
sent to shelter myself under the classical mantle which M.
LIONET. BERGUEII, and some unknown friend, have chosen
to extend in their charity over my faults in prosody. The two
lines were written in mere whim, and without the least inten-
tion of their being made public. In the first line, the word
:aces is a mistake of the transcriber (whoever took that trouble) ;
the phrase is durmi: which I believe is good prosody. The
error in the second line, ad.januam, certainly exists, and I bow
to the castigation. I must plead the same apology which was
used by the great Dr. JOHNSON, when he misinterpreted
veterinary phrase of ordinary occurrence—ignorance—pure ig-
norance was the cause of my blunder. Forty years ago, longs
and shorts were little attended to in Scottish education, and I
have, it appears, forgot the little I may then have learned. 1
have only to add, that I am far from undervaluing any branch
of scholarship, because I have, not the good fortune to possess
it, and heartily wish that those who succeed us may have the
benefit of a more accurate classical education than was common
in my earlier days.
The inscription cannot 120 W be altered; but if it remains a
memorial of my want of learning, it shall not in addition con-
vey any imputation on my candour. I should have been
ashamed, at a more stirring time, to ask admission for this
plea of guilty; but at present you may think it worth a place
in your Paper. Puglia eat di paupere rep:L-1 remain, your
obedient servant, WALTER SCOT J.'.
