An ACT to explain and amend an Acr of the 53d year of his
present Majesty, relating to Toils on CARRIAGES used in
lIIJSRANDRY, and to remove Doubts al, to Exemption of
Carriages, not wholly laden with Manure, front Payment
of Toll. Jwieo
'hereas by a Clause in an Act of Parliament made in the
531 year of the reign of his present Majesty, intitided ail
Act to amend an Act made in the 52d year of his present Ma-
jesty's reign, iutituled An Act to explain the Exemption
from Toll in several Acts of Parliament for Carriages ens-
' ployed in Husbandry, and for regulating the Tolls to be
paid on other Carriages, and on Horses in certain other
Cases therein specified,' and fur other purposes relating
thereto, it is enacted, that from and after the passing, of the
said Act, the Owner or Driver of any Waggon, Cart, or other
Carriage laden with Manure for Land, passing through any
Turnpike, or otherwise passing on or across any Turnpike
Road, should not be liable to pay any Toll, nor should any
Toll be demanded far such Carriage so laden, or the Cattle
drawing the same, by reasots only of any empty Basket or
Baskets, empty Sack or Sacks, for more convenient Carriage,
or Spade, Shovel, or Fork, necessary for loading or unload-
ing such Manure, being in or upon .ally such Waggon; Cart,
or other Carriage, in addition to such Manure, if the Loading
thereof is substantially Manure for Land as aforesaid; any
thing in any Act contained to the contrary thereof notwith-
standing: And is limas Doubts' have arisen whether the said
Clause does out extend to give a general grearptien
,from
Toll to all Carriages laden with Manure for Land, although
the same were made expressly liable to Tull by the respective
Local Acts by which Tolls are imposecl and levied for the
Maintenance of any Turnpike Roads : And whereas such
Construction would operate very injuriously both to the
reeeired fur the keeping up such respective Roads, and to
the Security of the Creditors who have advanced Money upon
the Credit of the same: For Remedy thereof be it declared
and enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and
with the Advice and Cement of the Lords Spiritual and Tem-
poral, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by the Authority of the same, That nothing in the said
Clause, or in any other Clause of the same, or of any other
Act or Acts of Parliament, shall extend or be construed to
extend to exempt any such Carriages as aforesaid, or the
Horses or other Cattle drawing the same, from any Tolls or
Duties imposed by virtue of any Local Act or Acts under
which any such Tolls or Duties have been or shall be im-
posed fur the Maintenance or Repair of such respective Roads
upon which such f:arriages shall go or travel.
ii. Pi tinkled always, and it is hereby enacted and declared,
That nothingin this Act contained shall be construed to re-
peal, vary, or alter any chose ur provision in the said Azt
passed in time said 53d year of his present Majesty's reign, nor
any other Act or Acts of Parliament; so far as respects any

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT

AT LIVERPOOL, DATED JULY 14.
There have not been any Arrivals from the

occasion of nay silence. I have, however, this
day the pleasure of announcing the following,

is the inces;iant. -object of its spleen. We coul,l
hardly require a less equivocal Proof of the pnolie
and private worth of this Nobleman, if we were
not fully apprized of -The services -whias he has
not only rendered to tilic Comittry, but 148 Europe,,
than this unceasing hostility of Party against him.
Bit his Lordship would have ample revenge if a
ttrneh' coldersentiment than revenge were not likely
to arise in his mind, from such pitiful and pointless
enmity, in finding that a rude Party Declaimer is
the GREAT IDOL on whom the praise of his Lord-
ship's insignificant assailants are every -clay pro-
fusely bestowed. Yet if we are rightly informed,
the person alluded to, who aspired at the honour
of being LEADER OF THE PARTY, in the room of
the late lamented Mr. PoNsoNßr, has tem rejectal„
as much too course and violent, and too apt ti•
make complaints onfricolousand vexatious grounds,
and who,: cotiseilueutly would be likely to sink.
the tarty still lower in- the estimation of all the
wise and loyal orders of the community.
