nearly keeps its price with Malt, as does Pease ;
good old Beans keep up, but the samples of new

Lady WARREN is not to he buried in Cheshire,
where the remains of her late husband, Sir GEORGE
WARREN, were deposited, but at Parham, about
twenty miles from Brighton, which has been the
burial place of the Bissiforr fAmily for many years.
It is rather singular, that Lady W. had not the
slightest idea of her approaching dissolution. A few
hours before a mortification took place, she ate and
drank heartily ; and on the Physician asking her it
she wished to send for any of her friends, replied,
r, Why should I trouble them to come so far I—you
talk as if I were in danger."

FROM MR. SECRETARY Yor.I:F TO THE LIEUTE-

DATED WHITEHALL, I 2TH OCTOBFIZ., 1803.
MY LORD, 111.11t:bail, I 2th Oa. I !..;,)3.
Tri.e preparations of the'Enemy for an attack upon
the Coasts of this Kingdom being now in a consi.
derable state of forwardness, it app:l-arsp be advis-
able to take some preparatory measures for placing •
upon permanent pay and duty, in certain Dlstrid-s
of Great Britain, such of the Yeomanry and Volun.:
teer Corps as, being in the most advanced state of
discipline and tquipment, may be inclined ~..,oluntar-
ily to assemble themselves und.,:r arms, within
their respedive Counties and Distriets, to be in
readiness to to el any attempt which may be made.
The situation of requiring
particular attention, and it being highly desirable
that as large a force as possible should be collected
for its protection, without incurring the necessity
of detaching from other points of no less importance,
I think it proper to request a confidential common'„;
cation of your Grace's opinion, whether any, and
which, of the Yeomanry .and Volunteer Corps in
the County of. ." and within a
reasonable distance of are
likely, upon His Majesty's invitation, to assemble
themselves on permanent pay and duty, for the pro..
tedion of that place and its vicinity, for such time,
and under such regulations, with respel to rotation
of service and relief, as may be thought expedient. -.
Your Grace will perceive by the inclosed copy of
the Act, 42 Geo. 11-I. c. 66. -sea. to. that His
Majesty is empowered to invite any Yeomanry or :.
Volunteer Corps voluntarily. to assemble and march
on the appearance of .Invasion; and that all such
COrps as shall voluntarily assemble, as expre,ssedin
that Clause, are entitled .to pay and quarters, and
Subjed to military discipline, during the time they
shall continue so assembled.
I-take leave to call your Grace's attention parti. •
ctilarly to this point, because the powers given to /
His Majesty to; enforce the assembly and movement-
of the.YeoManry and Volunteers.of Great Britain',l,
by virtue of the computrory Clauses of
,t 4
43 Geo. M. C. 96. ,ald 4.3 Geo. 111. C. 121.
tend only to the, specified cases.,of aanal Invasion,"'
or the appegraeaf; of an <Enemy in' force upon the
Coast. • - . .

The present measure, which is suggested for your
Grace's consideration and opinion, is intended to
apply onlyip a. certain number of Distrias, which,_
from their . situation, demand peculiar-.artentiOn;
anitis calculated to operate as a temporary
.measure
ofpreoutioir, for the ensuing two or three mdriths.
Lhave- reason:to believe, that his Royal High..
ness the. Commander in Chief has written to the
Corm:waling General in the
Distria upon this subjea ; and, I flatter myself that
your Grace will have the goodness "to communicate
with confidentially upon ;he
occasion.

The mode of relief will of course become matter
of deliberation between your Grace and
Perhaps the total of the Corps who may
be willing to assemble for the protection of
might be divided into two Reliefs, each
to remain on duty for a fortnight at a time, and
then to return home ; but if that should be thOught
objeeci:mai7l:, the tour of duty, might be settled
within each particular Corps, by their furnishing
certain numbers of their respective members, in ro-
tation, as might he agreed on. Upon this point
however, as well as upon other details connected
with this important subjett, I shall he happy to re-
ceive the benefit of your Grace's opinion and local
knowledge.
I hope to be favohred with your Grace's senti-
ments at your earliest-convenience, accompanied by
a list of such Corps as are most ready, and prepared
to step forward in the present conjundure; together
with a return of their elf:Clive numbers.
I have the honour to be, &c.

ROPY OF A CIRCULAR LETTER FROM MR. SECRE.

TARI"iORKE TH E LIEUTENANTS OF COUN..

TIES IN ENGLAND AND WALES.

IST FEB. 1804.,.

MY LORD,

Whitehall, ist Feb. 1804.

The Secretary a: War having stated to me that
some instances of discontent having lately occurred
among the men engaged as Substitutes in the Army
of Reserve, occasioned by their not having receiv.
ed the moieties of their Bounties, which should have
been remitted by the Clerks of the Subdivisions in
which the men were enrolled ; I have received His
Majesty's commands to bring the subjeti under
your serious consideration, and to desire that your
Lordship will use your best endeavours, and issue
the m,,st positive and precise orders to the Deputy
Lieutenants and Clerks of the different Subdivision
meetings within your county, fur the purpose of
preventing the recurrence of this embarrassing in-
convenience. For this purpose I must refer your
Lordship to the +2 Geo. 111. chap. 90, Sea. 63,
which clause is equally applicable to the levy of
men for the Army of Reserve, and for the Miiitia
and I must request that your Lordship will give
immediate direr lions through the Clerk of the Ge.
nerd! Meetings (or otherwise as your Lordship may
deem most expedient), to the Clerks of the several
Subdivision Meetings within the
to remit forthwith to the Paymasters of the several
Regiments and Corps, in which the men raised
within the for the Army of
Reserve are serving, whatever monies are now re-

+ Scrjcants, is. 6d..—Curporal:, is. -I.:l.—Drummers and
'r;vat2s. is.

For remedy whereof it. is enacted, that from and
after the 25th day of December 1662, no person or
persons whatsoever shall direaly or indirettly use,
exercise, continue or set up the said Trade, Art, or
Mystery of a Silk Throwster, within the Realm of
England, unless such as are or shall be Apprentices
to the said, Trade, or shall have served Seven Years
Apprenticeship thereto at the least, upon pain that
any person, so offendiog contrary to this Aa shall
pay, forfeit, and lose the sum of forty shillings for.
every month the said person shall so use or exercise
the said Trade ; the one moiety thereof to the use
of his said Majesty, his Heirs, and Successors, and
the other moiety thereof to such person or persons
,as shall sue for the same in any of the Courts of
Record within this Realm of England, or before
any of the Justices of Oyer and Terminer, or the
,Justices of the Peace at the Quarter. Sessions of the
Peace, by Astion of .Debt, Bill, Plaint or Informa-
tion, or by any other lawful ways or means what_
. soever, wherein no Proteaion, Wager of Law or
Essoign shall be alloWe'd."
There is a provisd in this Statute, allowing the
Company of Silk Throwsters to set on work any per.
son or persons being native Subjeas of His Majesty
and no other, whether they be Men, Women, or
Children to turn the Mills, tie the Thread, &c. as
they had been used to do, although such persons
shall not have served or'been bred up as Apprentices
to the said Trade of Silk ThroWing for seven year's.
The Defendant carries on the business of a Silk
Manufaaurer in Spital Square, in the Liberty of
Norton Falgate, in the County of Middlesex, in
Partnership with Messrs. Thudswell and Gardner,
under the Firm of Thudswell, Thorpe, and Gard-
ner ; Mr. Thudswell residing in the Country, and
Thorpe and Gardner in Spital Square.
About June 1802, the Defendant and his Partners
purchased three pair of Silk Mills and their Imple-
ments, used in the art of Silk Throwing at Wat-
ford in Hertfordshire, and carried on there the
Trade of Silk Throwsters, and also at the House in
Spiral Square ; and lie was not authorized so to do
by the provision of this Statute, he not having
served his Apprenticeship to this Trade as the At
requires. The Defendant paid Workmen, super.
intended the Work, &c. so that there was no doubt
upon the fad.
Mr. ERSIC I lig, on the part of the Defendant, ob-
served, that these antiquated and useless Statutes
were truly considered by liberal persons as justly
obsolete, and that there would be no Such thing
as carrying on the Trade it they were to be inforced
to the Letter, for which 'reason Judges had of late
years pulled against them'ias strongly as they could,
without violating their Oaths to administer the
Law, and this species of discretion in the whole.
some administration of Justice, had been acquiesced
in by the Legislature, for if they were not executed
with great delicacy, they would destroy the very
objea for Which they were originally enatled—ne.
'vertheless they had been suffered to remain on the
Statute. Book, in the hope and under the understand-
ing that they were little more than a dead letter ;
to execute them with rigour would be destruttion.
This, Statute was wise for the time it past, but cir-
cumstances had so altered, that it was no longer so.
At the tune of Elizabeth, a little before the passing
of this Aft, Silk Throwing was hardly known in
England, and so scarce were Silk Stockings, that
it appeared by a Letter now extant, in the hand.
writing of that illustrious Queen, ELIzABETH, her-
self, that she borrowed a pair of Silk Stockings to
dress to give audience to the Spanish Ambassador.
This Statute was past when the Silk Trade was next to
nothing to what It had become since, and that Trade
had again decayed.
He observed, that the trade was now carried on
in a manner as if the Statute had never passed, and
that thousands and thousands would be undone, if there
were to be no Masters except such as had served these
long apprenticeships ''who were permitted to em.
ploy men. He called a Witness, whO proved that
he had taken ,apartments of a Master, who was qua-
lified by. this Statute to employ men, and paid a
guinea and a half per week for them—worked for
that Master, or any other who would employ him,
and he did not consider himself bound to confine
himself to the employment of 'that Master, but that
he was at liberty to work for any body : but the
CII lEF JUSTICE observed, that this did not alter
the e:ise ; this person thought he had• a right to
