Itrnt.---We notice with much pleasure • the intention "to
build a Crescent -at this delightful watering-place. It would
increase greatly the intercourse through the Island, if a stage--
coach- were established to go from Newport to Yarmouth daily,
after the arrival of the Byde Coach, so as •tb- save the packet
fromYarmouth to Lymington. There is sufficient time tor it,
and so us•to allow an hour or more delay at Newport.
_ThNunIDGE WELLs.---IVe are. sorry to observe so many of
the best houses to lett at this favourite retreat. It has, we be-
lieve, usttally been fully attended during the EaSt7 .Re7ss,
but probably his Majesty's residence at Brighton drawa t/itrfa--
bilionable world from' it.

AxEcmYrE.—A couple of sailors some years ago went on
shore at Charles-Town, Carolina: They naturally 'advanced
towards a crowd which had gathered .round the. celebrated
Wirrrriya.n, who was preaching with vehemence against the
sins of his audience. The Tars • arrived just time enough to
hear him say, with the utmost exertion of voice and gesture,
"And.l, your pastor, your teacher,' shall be forced to bear
witness against you, at the awful day of judgment." "
Jack," cried pne of the sailors, whom the crowd had separated
from his companiOn, " my eyes, if that isn't just as it goes at
the Old Bailey. The greatest rogue always turns King's
evidence."
COT Tior.s.—lt would, perhaps,bebeneficial if the Act of 31st
Elizabeth, c. 7, were attended to, which enacts, that no person
shall build a cottage, unless he lay four acres of land thereto;
(except. it be in market towns and -cities, or within a mile of. the
sea, for the habitation of labourers in mines, sailors, foresteri;
and shepherds ; and cottages erected-by order of Justices of the
Peace for poor impotent persons, are also excepted:) The four
acres 'Miami, to make it a cottage within tins law, are to be..
freehold anti land inheritance, and must lie near the cottage, anti
be occupied with it. Persons building cottages contrary to the '
statute, are liable to the penalty of £lO and 40s. a month for the
continuance thereof. A penalty of 10s. it' more than one family
reside in such cottage.
The Yorkshire Choral Concerts will be held at Sheadd on
the 24th and 25th instant, which it is expected will be nume-
rously attended.
The Anniversary of the Rugby School is fixed for Wednes-
day the 25th instant.

In consequence of the low price of-corn, 31. Russtr.i, Esq.
of Brancepeth Castle, at his late audit of Martinmas rents,
made hid tenantry handsome returns, according to the nature
and extent of their farms.
The'Pressure of the times calls loudly for the interference of
Landed Proprietors ; and-we are happy to say, that Lord S F. it-
ilOßlit and lIT:NEACE LEGOE, Esq. who are proprietors of
several estates in the neighhourhootlfsf -Pet6rsfichl' at their late;
audit, very handsomely returned their.tenants 4:40 per cent. on
their .rentals,-without any application, which enhances the libe-
rality of their conduct. . .
Mrs. (1. 'KNIGHT, of Firbeck, in Yorkshire, has erected, at
her own expence, a new Parish Church, on the scite of the old
one. ' 1

aid of the fund rained tt Suriaerlana for the relief of the widows
and orphans of the pilots, belonging to, that port, lately lost in

On• Monday se'nnight, • a respectable- meeting-of the inhabi-
tants of Wolverhampton. was held, for the. purpose of entering
into a- subscription for eitablishing a Dispensary in that town.
A subscription Was accordingly cOninteneed; and Resolutions,

Among the numerous improvements in travelling at the pre-
sent peruxl, no one deserves more credit, than the arrangement
which tnbk plate on Friday the 6th inst., in the arrival of the
Mail from London at Bristol, by which an additional hour is
given to the Bankers, ,Merchants, and the Public in general,
fur answering their letters. It is but justice to add, that much
praise is due to Messrs. llTAtEltitotrst: 'and Co. for having
earned this plan into effect ; and we doubt not that the great
Mercantile body of that City will fully reward their exertions.
Mr. Waterhouse arrived in Bristol on Friday morning ri'n-
night, preeisely -at ten o'clock ; having performed the journey
from the General Post Office in Lombard-street, to the Post
Office in Bristol, in 14 hours.
We have great pleasurein stating to the- public, that the
beatitiful, romantic river, the.Sev.ern,, is likely, in the ensuing
summer, to becOme a scene
,of Muth pleasure and tragic, ;
steam vessels are to be employetito-navigai'e it. One of these
highly-approved machines is to- he to- run
from Stourport. to Gloucester, and back every day ; sue will be
beautifully fitted, 'and capable of accommodating 500 persons ;
her passage down with the stream will risk exceed four hours,
and her return not more than seven hours ; her draft or Water,
with her machinery and 200 persons on board, will not exceed
twelve inches.-1 company is forming to carry this desirable
plan into efflset.

ILLICIT
DISTILLATION IN IRELAND.
PLTITION OF- THE PARISH OF GULDAI2V.
General HART begged leave fa' rewind the
[oUse that he had lately presented a petirian
vin the County which he represented relative to.
the injustice and. oppressions which they are
compelled to endure under the present system of
distillery laws in
Ireland.
t Clon tite
tt andegi
s►nitro of
the present week he had presented one' from the
Parish of Donagli,
offered ono from the Parish of Culdatr, a Pari;it
which had suffered as much as any other in Ire-
land under the severities authorised. by those
laws. That the Excise Officers tinder the pre-
tence of levying tines on parishes on to rvnlands
for the offences of individuals, seized what pro-
perty they pleased and sold it for what sum: thy
thoti4ht proper. That the Petitioners', ha I lust-
the greater part of their property. and tatty of
them had been driven "to destitution. The florist-,
would observe that when the goeds were seized
they were not sold by auction and the residue re-
turned to the proprietors. On the contrary, they
were) in many instances, disposed of by m .as 3
unknown to the proprietors, from whom all ac-
counts have been withheld, nor can any infor:na-
lion be obtained on the subject, though it had
been called for by the 'louse. Nottifthsta Ediug
the sufferings of the Petitioners, their, d .mand
was moderate and reasonable, being only t • eb-
tain the account of their property and to b per-
mitted to distil 'in a legal manner.. On the neces-
sity of licensing small stills in Ireland, he would
speak with confidence, as the Present laws pro-
hibit all persons except those of very large capital
from distilling, spirits; in consequence of tra,cn,
and the want of markets for grain, the: peas t stry
are impelled to commit breaches of the ex :ire
laws and this practice is .not now as forzwrly
confined to the mountainous districts; but is ex-
tending itself to most of the counties of Ireland.

The measure of licensing small stills' in Scotland
had been tried in those parts of that COLIIItey
which were addicted to illicit distillation, and oa
the first year in which it was tried, viz. between
the years 1815 and 1816, it increased the revenue
considerably. The /lon. Membeil larbented that
Ireland had not the advantage of.-such concilia-
tion and policy as had beep,,shewn tpwards Scot-
land; but that, on the contrary„ the princinle of
, raising' the Irish •Revenne Was'.that of force,
I though:. it ought to be = evident that force
never .can change':• the I::veterate' habits of
an entire people. ,Thet.llonse, he said, had been
lately occupied in the discussion of two most inwor-
tant rn eatu c ErnapcipatiOn and Parka-
tnentaiy Reform ; ,aptl.thougirmuch had been said.
on the conciliatory tendency .of those measares,
he could assure the. House that more real happi-
ness and.
‘4itentrneat would he conferred upon
Ireland tiy
.the ,revision of the Distillery Latin s
than by either of those Bills.‘ The Revenue or
Ireland,_however, had, not suffered from illicit
distillation alone,,-for the diminutionof it was in a

great measure to be attributed to the licensed
stills which evade tbe.d uties on a large proportion
ofthe spirits which they make, and accomplish
this fraud by collusion with the Excise Officers,
as. appears from official documents laid• before the
House. In consequence of the present Distillery
Laws of Ireland, the .peasantry are driven into
the commission' of crimes in.support of their ille-
gal practices, of which they might be easily re-
formed, takiug away the temptation. This
state of the laws requires the maintenance of a

large army to enforce them, of which army the
Excise Officers have the command as much as
,any,General or Magistrate in the Country. The
expellee of this army is also a cause of the dimi_
