THE ALARM BELL.

On the 9th of August, 1832, the day on which
the marriage of the Princess Louise with his Ma-
jesty the K rig of the Belgians took place, two ladies
from Vougiers (Ardennes) went to Rheims to make
some purchases; their horse and cart (voiture) re-
mained at the inn under the care of a servant. Jean
Baptiste (such is the name of the rustic Phavon)
had iiever seen any thing superior to the bells in
his village, and felt a desire to visit the curiosities
of the town. Our adventurer was soon seen by
every one in a state of admiration, walking slowly
through the peaceful streets of Rheims, tumbling
against the passengers, and devouring with his won-
dering eyes the shops and public buildings. The
Cathedral is the first object which attracts the curio-
sity of strangers. Jean Baptiste could not decently
return to his abode without his having seen that mar-
eel; he consequently entered the Cathedral, and even
for the trifling remuneration of two sous (Id.) he
ascended the towers of Notre Dame. Some time had
elapsed since the above unperceived circumstance,
when suddenly the greatest tumult succeed to the calm
enjoyed by the town of Rheims. At the sound of the
bells, a cry of alarm made the frightened inhabitants
leave their houses—the drum was beat through the
streets,t he National Guards has,ily assembled,and the
companies of the pompiers (firemen) running from
every direction, with their helmets on, endeavoured
eagerly to obtain the reward granted by the town
to the person who gives the first assistance at a fire.
In the meanwhile the authorities, in costume, had
caused every quarter of the town to be examined to
discover the fire which was announced by so sudden
a rumour; but, strange to relate, none was to be
found. Nevertheless, this great terror so suddenly
impressed on a whole town had a cause, and it was
attempted to discover what that cause could be. It
was the alarm-bell from the Cathedral which had
first tolled, and caused the tolling of every bell in
every parish ; on that a horrid suspicion pervaded
the mass, and pushed them on towards the me-
tropolitan church. Factious individuals had doubt-
less chosen the day of an august marriage to ex-
cite at Rheims an insurrectional movement. It is
the Carlists, says one,—the Republicans, says
another,—a fresh conspiracy in the towers
of Notre Dame, says a third. Exasperation be-
gins to appear, and the National Guard with
difficulty preserve the church from popular invasion.
It was then only that the door-keeper of Notre Dame
recollected that two hours before a man had ascended
the towers, and that by inattention he had locked
him in. Searches were instantly made, and the un-
fortunate Jean Baptiste was discovered squatted in
a corner, and half dead with fright. Taken to prison
amid the imprecations of the crowd and horrible
threats, examined immediately by the Magistrate, he
simply confessed, that having been left in the tower
of the Cathedral, he had rung a hell. The impru-
dent fellow had laid hold of the alarm bell, and that
act, which to him seemed quite simple, had created
anxiety among a population of 35,000 souls.—
Imagine the astonishment of the two ladies when
informed by gendarmes that their conductor was the
cause of the tumult they had just witnessed. Their
testimony having dissipated every charge against the
unfortunate Jean Baptiste, they hastened to their
vehicle, the latter flogged his horse furiously, swear-
ing, like the hare in the fable, that he would not be
caught a second time.—Gazette des Tribunau.v.

IRELAND.-DUBLIN, AUGUST 19.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

Yesterday there was a numerous meeting of the
friends of the liberty of the press, at the Corn Ex-
change, " to arrange measures to defeat the attempt
of the Attorney-General to set aside trial by jury in
cases of alleged libel, under the new term of con-
tempt of court." The chair was taken by Stephen
Egan, Esq. of Roscrea, and animated appeals were
made to the public in favour of Messrs. Brown and
Sheehan, proprietors of the Comet, who had been
selected by the Attorney-General as the first victims
of the law according to his exposition, and had con-
sequently been fined 50/. each last Tuesday, by
Judges Burton and Vandeleur, in their Court of
Commission. Messrs. Laffan, Walsh, Redmond,
Marcus and Patrick Costello, and William O'Reilly,
spoke strongly in support of the good policy of esta-
blishing a fund to defeat this arbitrary attempt to
place the freedom of the press at the mercy of the
Attorney-General, and to employ it in procuring the
best assistance to appeal to the Court of King's
Bench and the Exchequer against the fine. A sub-
scription was instantly entered into, which amounted
to about 200/. The National Trades' Union is to
meet on Tuesday, for the same purpose : it is cal-
culated that amongst its 5,000 members another
100/. will be raised. The musical and theatrical
amateurs of the city have also announced their in-
tention of getting up a concert carnival in the course
of the week, for the purpose of augmenting the fund
for the defence of the press.
In fact, a great feeling in favour of the Comet has
been created by its appeal to the citizens in yester-
day's publication, in which it declares its motive
for the very strong and apparently uncalled-for ad-
dress to the jurymen who might have to act on the
tithe-trials (and in which it reminded them of the
omnipotence of public opinion) to be the necessity
of counteracting the exertions of the Attorney-Ge-
neral to procure " packed" juries; for the Right
Hon. Gentleman had, for some days previous to the
trials about to take place at the late commission,
been seen walking arm and arm with Mr. Nicholas
Murray Mansfield, the former notorious Under She-
riff of the city of Dublin, who had been convicted
(under a Parliamentary inquiry in Lord Wellesley's
time) of the most corrupt practices, in packing ju-
ries for the Orange and corporate interests.
This hint turned the tide of public opinion at
once against Mr. Blackburne, and subscriptions
poured in rapidly. Last night, Mr. N. M. Mans-
field published a disclaimer in the Evening Packet
of the fact asserted in the Comet, that he was seen
walking with the Attorney-General. This, how-
ever, is not believed—especially as the Attorney-
General himself has not contradicted the statement.

TITHES-HARVEST TV ORK-C 0 UNT Y
OF KILKENNY.

Last Tuesday a singular scene occurred at Jer-
point, in this county, the seat of William H. Hunt,
Esq., one of the Jurors favourable to the acquittal
of the Carrickshaugh prisoners ; he is also a county
Magistrate. A large field of wheat, containing 40
acres, had become fully ripe, and his neighbour
from the surrounding parishes of Knocktopher, Bal-
ly hale, Carrickshaugh,Hugginstown,Cashill, Knock-
mayland, &c., assembled, to cut it down for him.
The Carrickshaugh men mustered 1,300 reaping-
hooks, and were allowed the honour of marching
first into the field, headed by Mr. Conway, of Bal-
lyhale, who read an appropriate address to Mr.
Hunt, expressive of their admiration of the sense
of impartial justice by which he was distinguished,
and their conviction that his liberal sentiments
concerning that odious and grievous oppression,
the tithes, accorded with those of millions of
the people of Ireland. To this Mr. Hunt made
a suitable reply. A poetical address was presented
to Mrs. Hunt, who gratefully responded, and then
the work began in earnest. The stewards counted
1,700 reapers and 800 binders engaged in the frolic;
amongst the latter were farmers and their wives and
daughters who had never worked a day for them-
selves. One of thegreatest and busiest personages in
the field was Cummins, the Ballyhale bag-piper, a
band in himself. Under his inspiring influence (and
some barrels of Smithwick's anti-tithe beer) the forty
acres of wheat were neatly cut, bound, and stacked
in 80 minutes I after which he was borne round the
field in triumph, kissed Mrs. Hunt, and finally
played " Patrick's Day," crowned " in honour and
glory" on the top of the last stack. While Mr.
Hunt invited about sixty of his friends, who acted as
stewards, to dine with him at Jerpoint, the Carrick-
shaugh boys invited the rest to cut down the wheat
of Mr. Conway of Ballyhale, now ripe also. About
700 reapers volunteered, and by the time Mr. Con-
way returned home from Mr. Hunt's dinner pa, ty,
he found all his wheat cut, bound, and stacked!

STEAM-CARRIAGES.

EXPERIMENTAL JOURNEY BY MESSRS. OGLE AND
M A. SUMMERS IN THEIR STEAM-CARRIAGE.

Monday this steam-carriage passed through New-
bury from Southampton to Oxford ; it proceeded
along the streets at a steady pace, attended by a
large concourse of persons. At the Chequers Inn,
Speenhamland, it stopped to take in water and
coke ; the supply of water required was about one
hundred buckets. When starting the coach went
off with very considerable speed, and soon left all the
pedestrians far behind.
We understand Messrs. Ogle and Summers have
been occupied almost for four years in their experi-
ments, and have expended 30,000/. in bringing their
invention to perfection, or rather to that state which
leaves only some trifling minor details to be
worked out. The chief desideratum in locomo-
tive vehicles and vessels (in mines in our colo-
nies) is a safe and efficient mode of generating
steam on scientific principles. Messrs. Ogle and
Summers have completely mastered that most diffi-
cult point. Their boiler contains the greatest pos•
-Ude heating surface in the least possible space, when
ie combination with the strongest mechanical form.
Their boiler consists of numerous sections, having
sufficient connection with each other, consirected of
cylinders with air tubes within each, standing verti-
cally, so that a stratum of water is placed between
two heating surfaces, the outer surface of the cylin-
ders and the inner surface of the air tube. They
allow 13 superficial feet to the horse power, and the
boiler in their vehicle contains 398 feet of heating
surface, or thirty horse power. They usually work
it the pressure of two hundred pounds on the
square inch, so that upwards of nineteen millions of
pounds weight are pressing to get loose, and yet
confined and used with perfect safety. The cylin-
ders are 121 in diameter, with metallic pistons, of
such perfect construction that the steam has never
been known to pass these pistons. The boiler con-
tains upwards of fifty-six thousand rivets, and at the
tremendous pressure of three hundred pounds on
the inch not a rivet leaks. The joints are all per-
fectly tight, and the supply of water to the boiler
from the tank quite perfeet. The form of the car-
riage is elegant and remarkably commodious, and,
we understand, easier than any other vehicle. It
differs from the common carriage chiefly in is
height, and the cumbrous appearance of the
which is placed behind, and beyond is the blowirig
machine. Owing to the heavy ironwork being at
the lower part of the vehicle, an upset is almost
impossible.
On Monday morning this carriage left Millbrook,
near Southampton, with twenty-three persons and
their luggage, and proceeded towards Oxford. The
first twelve miles, celebrated for the hills, were clear-
ed in one hour and ten minutes without pressing the
vehicle to its speed. The coach then proceeded to-
wards \Vhitchurch with great velocity; but before
it reached Sutton Scotnea it was found that the
coke, which had been sent to different stations, con-
consisted of little bags instead of sacks, and, there-
fore, fuel was necessarily waited for, or the whole
distance would have been cleared in less than five
hours. The road is known to be very hilly and
rough, and to be perhaps the most trying which to
steam-coach could be run on. Notwithstanding, the
loftiest hills were surmounted with the greatest fa-
cility ; that from Whitchurch was ascended at full
ten miles an hour. At intervals, the coke being
consumed, coals were used, which caused a stream
of smoke; but when coke is burnt there is no ap-
pearance of smoke. The want of coke, arid the W.
ness of Mr. Summers, induced the party to stop at
Abingdon, having cleared upwards of twelve miles
an hour when supplied with fuel, and which speed
could have been considerably accelerated. The
strength of the machinery and the perfect command
over the power was completely proved by the fact,
that at the summit of a very long and steep hill the
drag-chain failed, and the vehicle rushed forward
and attained the terrific speed of fifty miles an hour,
but was steered with accuracy and safety. It is
Messrs. Ogle and Summers' intention to remain se-
veral days at Oxford, as they have business to trans-
act, and are desirous of trying some experiment in
detail, which experience alone can teach ; they have
also found that the only part of the machine not
made by themselves, the crank axle, has
shown some symptoms of weakness in the most
unexpected part, arising from the culpable ne-
glect, and still more culpable concealment,
of the workmen who made it ; the necessary strength
will be given to it, and the vehicle will then pro-
teed on its destination, through Birmingham arid
Liverpool. In this experiment there has been no
avoiding of difficulties—a hilly, rough, and winding
road has been selected, and traversed with safety
and velocity. The boiler is found to be most efficient,
and perfectly tight; the cylinders large enough ;
the machinery so well put together that even a rush
of fifty miles an hour has not started one bolt, nor
broken a single screw; the springs of the carriage body
have been strengthened, as so many persons clamber-
ed on it as to overweigh them. Every where the tra-
vellers were well and kindly received, and willingly
-upplied with water. The vehicle entered Oxford
in fine style, ascending, at about eight miles an hour,
St. Aldate's, and turned into the gateway of the
Star Inn. Several ladies accompanied the party,
which consisted of the inventors, Messrs. Ogle and
Summers, and their friends.—Reading Paper.

DEATH OF OLD KEELYBAGS.—The veii-
known humourist mentioned in the 9th volume of the
Wavarlry Novels, p. 283, thus popularly called from his
having supplied nearly all the store farmers in Galloway with
red chalk or cuddle for marking their flocks, died at Dal-
beattle on the 3d inst., in the 82d year of his age. By
his real name, which was ALEXANDER WATSON, lie was
comparatively little known; like Old Mortality, his for.
tner crony, he travelled with an old pony that carried his
keel in begs laid across its back, to his upland customers.
His facetious wit and inexhaustible fund of local anecdote
made the sheep keelman always a welcome guest wherever
he was known ; he loved an innocent jest, and told with
jocosity many such a story of himself as the following :
At Newton Stewart summer fair he always found a ready •

sale for his keel. His last visit happened to be on a very
rainy day ; but, notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, there were so many people assembled in the
streets of that village as seemingly to present a complete
barrier against any ordinary attack that could be made by
a single individual to force his way to the market-place ;
but the sheep-keelman was urged by necessity to do so, as
the day was nearly spent, and he was afraid of his cus-
tomers leaving town ere he could meet them to dispose of
his ruddle. He made the attempt, mounted on his old
nag, with a wet keely wallet hanging at each side of the
and as he spurred it onwards, his progress
through the crowd was not like the baseless fabric of a
vision—it left many a trace behind on moorland plaid and
muslin gown. The old man chuckled almost to the day
of his death at this adventure, and mimicked with won-
derful effect the astonishment and exclamations of some of
the country girls when they first discovered that they
were as fairly keeled as any of their master's sheep.—
Greezzock Advertiser.

SUICIDE.—About half-past eleven o'clock
last night, as a middle-aged man, dressed like a mechanic,
and having a basket in his hand, supposed to contain some
of the implements of his trade, was passing over London_
bridge, towards the borough side of the river, he stopped
at the centre alcove or recess of the bridge on the western
side, and standing upon the seat he dropped his basket over
the parapet on the outside ledge, which is sufficiently wide
to prevent any thing dropped thereon from falling into
the river. The unfortunate man sprung over the parapet
with the apparent intention of obtaining his basket, but
getting upon the ledge he dropped it into the river, and
dreadful to state, instantly thereafter threw himself into
the stream, which was then running downwards, the tide
at that time having been ebbing about an hour and a half.
We passed a few minutes thereafter, and found some of the
passengers who had witnessed the scene in a state of great
consternation ; but from the manner in which the suicide
executed his purpose, and the time of night, with the ra-
pidity of the tide at the bridge at the time, no human aid
could have saved him from his dreadful purpose.

We were lately amused at receiving a letter
from a " Proprietor of Bank Stock," which we
had not, at the time, room to insert, asd on
which we cannot now lay our hands, asking us
why Bank Stock, paying, as it does, 8 per cent,
interest, should not bear a price in the money-
market equal to twice its nominal amount in 4
ner cent. Government Annuities, likewise yield-
ing the sum of 81. The " Proprietor" in ques-
tion, expressed great confidence in our judgment
of financial matters, and very naively begged to
know, through the medium of our journal,
whether he ought not to ho'd on his Bank Stock
a little longer in such circumstances, or whether
be ought to sell it immediately. If we had con-
`itiottl our correspondent's letter in any other
/fight than that of a piece of simplicity (for plea-
santry it could not be), we should have answered
—that the Bank Stock which he possessed, and
of which he wished to dispose, was liable to be
influenced by all the fluctuations which affect
Government credit, in addition •to those which
affect the permanent interests of the Bank
establishment itself. It could not, there-
!ore, be imagined that the situation. of the
latter, as a commercial body,—whose man-
agement might be bad or good, and whose
charter might be resisted or renewed—would not
have some effect in keeping down the price of
its stock below the rate at which other annuities
of a less precarious nature might be purchased.
Since our correspondent asked the question,
Bank stock has fallen, from the causes which we
have mentioned, more than 15 per cent. The
same " Bank Proprietor" (at least if we may
judge by the resemblance of the hand-writing)
has sent us another letter in a different tenour,
and with a more rational object. He now com-
plains, that without announcing the fact to the
Court, the Bank direction have been in the
habit lately of making up part of the large di-
vidends which they have distributed among
their proprietors, out of their reserved fund ;
and that, consequently, the liberal advances of
each half-year were not a measure of the rate
of interest or profit during that period, but
of the discretion of the directors, dealing ou
a fund over which they had, without consulting
the proprietors, no control. The dividends, there-
fore, were partly interest and partly bonus, and
not the fair result of the banking operations of
the year. If such be the case, (and we have
little reason to doubt it,) never was a great public
establishment managed on a more deceptive
policy, or with a greater contempt for the just
principles of its institution. If, in any concern,
a regular rate of interest or profit is continued
for series of years, by the directors to the
proprietors, and if, after the payment of
that rate, a flind is accumulated, the directors
are bound to ask what is to he done with this
fund, and to allow the proprietors the option of
either receiving it as a bonus at one payment,
or of spreading it out as an additional interest
over a number of years. Since the termination
of a war, and the stoppage of a system of ex-
penditure, during which the Bank has accumu•
lated so much wealth at the public expense, the
capital of the establishment has been increased
by the addition of 3,000,0001. to its former
stock, or, in other words, the Bank pro-
prietors now receive their dividends on more
than fourteen millions and a half, instead
of eleven millions and a ball as formerly.
Suppose the directors of that period (of
1815 and 1816) had chosen to pursue the same
system as has been lately pursued, instead of
proposing an addition to the capital of the •
Bank, they would have squandered away the
surplus in a higher interest. Or suppose, when
the interest was 10 per cent. as it has been
since the period of which we speak, the direc-
tors, instead of reducing it to 8 per cent, where
n stands at present, had continued the higher
rate up to the last half-yearly meeting—their
reserved fund, which is intended to answer so
many objects of security to the public, and on
which the proprietors have so constandy relied,
inigl,t have been entirely absorbed in extravagant
dividends. Bank stock might thus have
amounted to the extraordinary height of 2401.
or 2501. liable to a fall, on the disclosure of the
trick, to 1501., to the ruin or irreparable loss of
all its recent purchasers. We mention these as
cases which were formerly only possible, but
which the extraordinary conduct of Bank direc-
tion has of late shown to be practicable, and have
in principle actually realized. Such a system of
mismanagement can only be pursued behind the
veil of the mysterious secrecy in which the con-
cerns of the Bank and of the public (so far as
Bank note circulation is implicated) are in-
volved. Whatever, therefore, may be the result
of the late Parliamentary inquiry into the expe-
diency of renewing the Bank charter, we are
convinced that all mystery respecting Bank
affairs is now at an end. Whether the great
corporation, which has hitherto exercised so
much power over the destinies of this country,
is again to be continued in the Government pa-
tronage for certain considerations, or to be
stript of all its exclusive privileges, and left to
contend unprotected with new establishments,
the Parliament, if it shall be regulated by a
charter, or the proprietors, if it shall not, will
require an unreserved annual disclosure of its
affairs. The Bank of France,—an important
institution,—the Bank of the American Union,
(doing more commercial business with a capital
of 7,000,0001. sterling than the Bank of Eng-
land,)—the Royal Bank of Scotland, and every
other great establishment of the kind with
which we are acquainted, lay before their pro-
prietary, at an annual meeting, the full state of
their affairs,—the grounds of their dividends,—
the amount of their reserved fund,—the bullion,
or deposits, in their hands,—and every other
circumstance which has influenced their pros-
perity or diminished their profits during the
year. Why is not the same account required
from the Bank of England, which, connected as
it is with the Government and the currency of
the country, is not only bound to satisfy its own
proprietors, but the nation, that its management
is sound and its credit secure.— Times.

fiction to the scale of truth, and the high prices
of Bank Stock would have necessarily receded.
But then the reduction in that case would have
been gradual, and would have carried with it
none of that shock to public credit, and serious
'oss to individuals, which accompanies that race
for hasty indiscreet disclosure which is now run
'between the directors themselves and this sot.-
disa at Secret Committee.— Morninz Herald.
Some of our Ministerial Papers seem to be
extremely anxious to prevent any obstacle being
thrown iu the way of the designs of the Holy
Alliance against the rights and liberties of the
iations of Continental Europe. How they can
reconcile this with a professed zeal for the pro-
; ress of liberal principles and social freedom at
'iome we have yet to learn ; but sure we are,
that if the confederated despots succeed in their
project of enormous iniquity, to reduce the con-
inent to a state of military vassalage, England
must give her ignominious submission to the
qkases which will then regulate the destinies of
nations, or she must fight for her power, if not
for her existence, without an ally i❑ Europe.
Those writers who argue in favour of tamely
.übmitting to the insults of Russia and her con-
oederates, as having the effect of averting war,
know little of human nature ; and, if they have
read history, have read it in vain. A nation

!hat attains the pitch ofgreatness which England
once attained in the civilized world excites more
of jealousy than love. While she is able to
oiaintain her power, or seems able to maintain
it, other nations, though they hate her supre-
macy, will court her alliance, and their fear
will produce something like the consequences
of affection ; but let it once appear that the
foundations of her grandeur have been broken
up, or considerably weakened—that not only
have her resources declined, but her spirit is
*one—that her ancient magnanimity has been so
t'ar supplanted by moral cowardice as to induce
her to prefer infamous repose to a righteous as-
setion of her violated rights—and from that
moment her peace is rendered insecure, her in-
dependence precarious, by the encouragement
4.4ivett to aggression. So it was in the decline of
•he Roman state; every peace purchased at the
price of dishonour tempted the enemies of the
Queen of Nations to new acts of insult and ag-
gression, until, stripped of all her power, and
despoiled of all her glory, she closed her magni-
ficent and miserable career by submitting her
neck to the foot of the Barbarian. At present
France, because of the mean submission of her
Government to the dictates of the despots of
the " Holy Alliance," holds her independence
only on their sufferance, as she will discover as
soon as the States of Germany shall have been
restored to that state of " order," or gagged
and bound servility, which logicians, using
the arguments of a million and a half of bayo-
nets, will prove to be necessary to their political
happiness. If England were as isolated in her
relations with the Continent as she is in her
geographical position, the selfish policy of taking
no interest in the political condition of her
continental neighbours might be very wise ;
but she has a system of commercial in-
tercourse to support with the continental na-
tions, which may be materially affected by
their political condition. There may conse-
quently arise occasions when attacks upon the
indepencence of other nations are, in reality,
attacks upon the sources of her prosperity, just
as much as it would be an attack upon the pros-
perity of London if a hostile force, encamped
at the source of the Thames, could turn the
river, on whose bosom the wealth of the world
is carried, into a new channel. If' Bonaparte
had not met with the dreadful reverses which
wasted his veteran legions in the snows of the
Russian deserts, he would have been enabled,
by the complete subjugation of the Continental
States, to ruin the commerce, and thereby sub-
vert the power, of England, without ever trying
the perilous experiment of an invasion. The
Continental blockade would have effected what

If there is one part of the country in which
more than another the Aristocracy are distressed,
that part is Scotland. A popular Scotch writer
of the present day (Mr. Chalmers) says :
__

" Every year the Aristocracy and Squirearchy of the
country are irretrievably overwhelmed in debt and poverty.
The common landed proprietors of the country are freeing
themselves from their embarrassment by sales and mort-
gages ; the estates in all directions are falling under the
guardianship of legal factors and trustees. As it is, the
country swarms with poor lairds who are pensioned off on
a pittance, and are enabled only to shine as stars of the
third magnitude in some petty watering place, while their
entailed properties are in the course of nursing, and their
family mansions are given up, to be jointly inhabited by
families of ' rooks and swallows."'

" All untimely question
Ruffles the temper and mars the digestion."
Mr. Macaulay, although, as his worshipful cor-
respondent states, he sent his answer by the
return of post, transmitted a very long and ela-
borate answer indeed, which is worthy of public
attention on two grounds : first, because it is
the work of a very clever man ; and secondly,
because it is the work of a very clever man
who stands in such a relation with his Ma-
jesty's Government that it is impossible not to
imagine that his acts are done with their sufferance
—we should rather say with their sanction. Mr.
Macaulay is an advocate for triennial Parliaments
—Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for the Ballot—
Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for such an alteration
in the Corn Laws as will lower the price to
the consumer—Mr. Macaulay is an advocate
for the extinction of the tithes as well in
England as in Ireland—and Mr. Macaulay
holds an office under the present Govern-
men- The Reformers who called the
Bill " final" will look grave at his trien-
nial Parliament ; the Reformers who like the
legitimate" influence of property will stare at
his Ballot ; the Reformers who kill their own
mutton- will be uneasy at his hint upon the Corn
Laws ; the Reformers who go to church will
want some explanation of his doctrine upon the
tithes. But the changes he is willing to support
may be beneficial and desirable changes. That
is not our present question. Are the principles
of Mr. Macaulev the principles of the Ministers
under whom he acts ? If they are, why have
not the masters published in London what the
man has suggested at Leeds ? If they are not,
what augury are we to draw from an observation
of the point at which this shrewd and worldly
man falls off from his old leaders, and of the
direction in which he shapes for himself the after-
course of his political career ? We must not
omit to mention that J. Marshall, jun., Esq., of
Leeds, has also written a letter, and that his
letter is probably just such a letter as ought to
be written by J. Marshall, Esq., jun., of Leeds.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.-The demand for West India Aluscovadoes last
week was steady; the estimated purchases were 3,200
Mids. and trs., and they would have been much more consi-
derable, but the show of new Sugars was limited, and as
many arrivals had taken place, the trade thought they
would have a plentiful supply this day, and therefore de-
ferred their purchases. The stock of West India Sugar is
now 30,200 hhds. and trs., which is 18,007 less than
last year. The stock of Mauritius is 59,918 bags, being
43,437 less than last year. The delivery cf West India
Sugar is 4,135 hhds. and trs. being 774 more than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius 2,850 bags, being 4,177
less than the corresponding week of 1831. The estimated
sales this day are 900 hbds. and tre. at full market prices ;
the Barbadoes went off with much briskness. In the Re-
fined Market there was a small improvement, on account
of the reduced stock ; the prices of low Lumps were 641.
and 645. 6d. or 295. 6d. and 30s. on board ; fine goods
were also held with more firmness, 31s. 6d. was offered
for fine crashed, and 325. for forward delivery. The Re-
fined Market this afternoon continued firm.

The fall which has within a few days taken
place in Bank Stock is the most rapid and ex-
traordinary depreciation which has ever occurred
in any of our public securities since the period
of the South Sea bubble ; and it is not a little
surprising that it has taken place in anticipation
of the knowledge which might or might not have
been expected to produce it ; for as yet the evi-
deuce taken before the late Secret Committee on
the Bank Charter is a sealed book to all but the
Members of the Committee themselves. We
kilf.,w no subject which requires to be handled
with so much delicacy and reserve as that of
public or private credit. On this occasion, at
all events, the Press cannot be accused of having
either occasioned, or in the smallest degree con-
tributed, to the panic which has seized the
holders of a species of security which has hitherto
less than any other been affected by the causes

flotilla—and our maritime supremacy would
have perished, notwithstanding the trophies of
the Nile and Trafalgar. But Bonaparte was

An intelligent distiller (Mr. Dunlop) ex-
amined before a Select Committee of the House
of Commons, in 1831, on the use of molasses
in distilleries, gave the following account of the
condition of his district :
" He is asked—

" Can you state, from your own knowlede, the situation
of the owners and occupiers of land, as farmers, throughout
the kingdom, and particularly in Scotland ?—I am very
sorry to say, they are far from being prosperous ; in the
district of Scotland where I live—East Lothian—there
was at one time the most independent and respectable te-
nantry to be found in any country, or perhaps in the
world—men who have struggled with misfortunes which
no other men but themselves could have met ; and many
of them, unfortunately, have fallen, and most of them
have been brought into circumstancees of great distress.
" Have you ever known the agriculture of Scotland in
a worse condition than it is at present ?—I never have; I
think one-third of the tenantry of the county of Hadding-
ton have been changed within the last three or four years,
and that capital is now almost out of their hands.

" Is it understood that they are paying their rents very
generally out of their capital, and not from their annual re-
turns ?—There is very little doubt that they have been
paying their rents, to a very considerable extent, out of
their prot,erty ; and I know, besides, that very great de.
ductions have been given by the proprietors of the country,
who have shown great consideration and kindness to the
tenantry in general."

The owner of an entailed estate, having only
the property of his life-interest in it, is reduced
to the greatest difficulties in raising money. It
seldom happens that a man succeeds to an en-
tailed estate who had not before contracted debt ;
and on his entrance into possession, he must
borrow from the Jews, and insure his life, &c.
One difficulty leads to another, and it may truly
be said, that by far the greater part of this class
of proprietors (who are from one-half to two-
thirds of Scotland) are living on allowances from
their estates, which are under the management of
trustees for the benefit of their creditors. All
that the law should care for is the security of
property to the owner, and enabling him to name
a successor or successors. Wherever the law
attempts to do more it does mischief. The
owner of a small property in England seldom
thinks of founding a family. If he have several
children, he either sells the estate himself and
shares the proceeds among his children, or he
conveys it to trustces,who dispose of it for the bene-
fit of the family. The aristocracy cannot act other-
wise without adding to their difficulties. The man-
sion and park must be kept up, while money must
be borrowed for the provisions for younger children.
It is an understood matter that mortgages on land
are never paid ()nut by sales (except in the case of
successful marriage speculations), and thus the

ACCIDENT AT CAMBERWELL FAIR.-
On Monday night a party of young men and women
were returning from Camberwell fair in "ally," when
another vehicle of the same description ran against it, near
Camberwell toll-gate. A young female, with an infant
at her breast, and a youth, were thrown out. The child
received so many injuries as to cause its death, and the
1-17Ibng man (who is a copper-plate printer in Leather-lane,
Holborn) bad his arm broken in so dreadful a manner as
to render amputation necessary. There were several acci-
dents during the night in consequence of the crowded
state of the road.
EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF SALMON.-
The salmon fisheries generally have been extremely pro-
ductive this season. At the great fishery at Balina in Ire-
land, last week, the enormous number of one thousand three
hundred and fifly salmon were taken at one haul of -the
net, and were it not that part of it broke, it is supposed
that no less than two thousand would have been secured.

EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The purchases of East India
Sugar last week consisted of small parcels of Manila at
225. a 235. 6d., and Siam 225. a 235. 6d.

MAURITIUS SUGARS.—The public sale on Friday con-
sisted of 7,544 bags, the whole sold freely at full prices,
495. a 583. This day's public sale 6,228 bags Mauritius
Sugars sold freely at full market rates.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are no purchases of Foreign
Sugars to report; 27 has been offered and refused for
good yellow Havannah; some good white and mid. Per-
nams were offered at public sale, but all withdrawn al:ove
our market prices. Average price of sugar, 1/. Bs. Old.
per cwt.

COFFEE.—There is little alteration to notice in coffee,
the British plantation sold heavily at former prices. For
the Foreign and East India offers were made at rather lower
prices, but they were rejected; 595. was offered for pale
St. Domingo, 588. for Batavia ; some Brazil sold at 608.,
and fine ord. coloury La Guyra at 64e. By public sale
this forenoon 500 bags Ceylon Coffee, a part was t 'ken in
at 568. 6d. ; the remainder sold at 57, rather lower.
RUM, BRANDY", AND HOLLANDS.—By public sale 118
puns runs from St. Thomas, for export only, the strength
Ito 4 over, sold at Is. 61. The consumption of brandy
continues, and the market is firm, but not so much doing.
In Geneva there are no transactions.

TALLOW.—The tallow market yesterday becime more
brisk, and the prices are rather higher.
hist' PROVISIONS.—The clause inserted in the Cus-
toms' Duty Bill allows all provisions to be bonded here for
export or for ships' use on foreign voyages. The market
is in consequence in a nominal state, no answer to the
.remonstrance of the Irish trade having been received.
The import of Foreign Butter in the last week was 3,734
casks, of Irish 9,537 firkins, and of Bacon 891 bales, with
a further arrival since of ab nit 10,000 firkins of Lush
Butter, and about 1,000 bales Bacon. The Butter
Market is excessively flat, and our present quotations must
be, in a great degree, considered nominal; fine Friesland.

brands) 78s. a 81s. on board, 80s. a 83s. landed ; Newry
is still offering at '741. on board for shipment; Dublin at
765. on board, and Sligo at 765. a 775. on board, without
finding purchasers. For fine fresh small singed Bacon
there is a fair sale, Waterford at 555., and Limerick at
515. per swt.; the general run of the Waterford in the
Market cannot be quoted over 525. a 541, "nor of the
Limerick over 525. per cwt. Bale and tierce Middles go
off slowly, the former at 445. a 465., and the latter at 445.

The body of the unfortunate JOBLING hangs
is a very conspicuous place in Jarrow Slake. Great crowds
continue to visit the spot; and at high water several boats
daily approach the post on which the body is suspended.
The sight from the road is most appalling. A collection
is making at the turnpike gate for the widow and children
of the unfortunate man; but it is much to be desired that
the contributions for this object were placed in the hands of
some respectable person who would see to its being pro.

bourhood, and will in the course of a week have become
general. The crops are, with but few exceptions,
excel-
lent in quality and abundant in produce; and the weather
at present is well calculated to hasten the maturity of the
grain, as well as to favour the operations of the husband-
man in reaping and getting it in.—Sunderland Herald.
