1116i1 COUtiT OF JUSTICIAKY.—Mnnafiy the
Court unanimously found that it is not competent
to appeal to the Circoit Courts from sentences of
Justices of Peace. This judgment is applicable
also to the sentence; provincial Commissaries,
neither the Justice of Peace Courts nor those of
the Commissaries heiug Mentioned in the act of
20th Gro cap. 43.

HIGH TitEasoNe-A Special Commission of
oyEr and tertniner for trying all treasons, and
misprisions of treason, within the Counties of
Lanark, Dumbarton, Renfrew, Stirling, and
Ayr, arrived here On Monday, and we under-
stand the first sittings of the Commissioners
will Commence at Stirling on the 23d current.
The commissioners are the, Lord President,
Lord Justice Clerk, Lard Chief Baron, Lord
Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court, and five
Lords Commissioners of Justiciary. John
lock, Esq. Serjeant at Law, is to assist at the trials,
itnd Mr. Thos. Geo. Knapp, Clerk to the Arraigns
of the Home Circuit in England, is appointed to
act as Clerk to the Commissioners, That Gentle-
man arrived here on Tuesday, and has since left
town for Fa!kirk, to arrange a-ith the Sheriff of
Stirlingshire for sommoniug the Grand Jury. &c.,
IMPROVEMENTS.—,We undeisteind that it is in
contemplariou by the Lord Prov()st and Magistrates
to repair St. Giles's Church, and to level
the street, so as to form a more commodious
access to the church itself, the new buntlines in
the Parliament Close, &c. and certainly thrse ate
most necessary imptovemenis. In tact, the large
sums expended in the purchase of the. Lbehenbootbs,
in removing the shops with I.v:tich the chinch
'v a 3 surrounded, and the old Tolhooth and Jus-
ticiary Courthouse, may be considered as little
short of so much money thrown away,onless some-
thing is also done to remove the deformi y wl.ieh the
resell, vote of St. Wes' Church exhibits. Were
!his accomplished, and the Weigh-house
moved, doe High-street of Ec!inbny ttght vie
with any. in &quite !or grandeur and effect. This
great and de,itable improvement, however, from
the present state of the athiiis of the city, can only
be accomplished by a local assessment of 1 or
1i per cent. upon the rental take() up by the
Cent-masters levied from the hen ors and occu-
piers of houses in the City and Royalty, which
would, in the short period of five years, yieid a
sum sufficient for the purpose ! this assesstnexst
io be under the control of Commissioner, ap..
pointed by the inhabitants. We ate confident
that a measure so desir ,ble to improve and ()ma•
meat our ancient city, will be clit,rfully Fine
into by all classes. —(Dliisburgli Courant, Jane S.)

THE IRON TRADE.—Congid(rable Fcri_.ign or-
ders are receivt4l in Staffordshire. The toil Inas.
ters met at Dudley, and agreed to advance the
wagss of the hailers.

PLYMOUTH, JUNii B.—The Navy Board are ex-
pected at this port, in order to proceed to an in-
spection of the Dock-yatil, &c. 0; tiers have
beet' received for huil•'int: the Volchno and Devas-

Lordship.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.—From CAlCOlatiOn
by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,000
die annually in Great Britain of Consumption,
and at least 10,000 in London.. The late William
Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer-
tained that every 20. h person %vas ruptured.—
These complaints are truly alarming to every in-
dividual who uses the least exertion. It is His.)
incredible the number that suffer trom a certain
Disease, by being improperly treated. It was
those circumstances i,,duced Dr. Coopett to select
eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30
years' experience, to form a Medical lioard; and
since the establishment upwards of 30000 Pa-
tients have been cured without confihement--,
many of them after hospitals had failed.

ON THE AGRICULTURAL PETITIONS, &a

litter little to do, oldest those Who wish to pro-

cissitudes of seasons, of war, of caprice, of inte-
rested Projects and political siews of other coun-

liability In the extieme of famine*. The Mer-
chants' Petitions ate in no tespeet concerned in

the only run, means of 'effecting a 'steady mode-

in,tinsititA ate assertion, which seems to prevail
NVill'iutllo, that we owe all OUT Prosperity to ma-

able, or far short, is the amount of our ananufac-

home market that sustains our ni tnufactures, and
well continue to sustain them, it they are not in-
creased greatly beyond the demand both at home
and obtoad, which utvortunately is the case,at
present. If the produce of our own soil does not'
support our manufactures, we ale losers, not
gainers. .I: was said that it was impossible for
the manniac uteri to go on- at the present price
of. grain ; which, however, is and has been con-
siderably lower titan usual ; and it is worthy of
observation, that our manufactures have flourish-

to decide. The Petitions have been represented,,
Nviol great lesoy and unfairness, " to havepro-
ceeded tionione shop." Some may have been
for warded and recommended to the meeting of
agriculturists at .flendersun's Hotel; but there is
notiong more certain, than that a inure respect-
able body of petitioners never applied to Parlia-
mew, on any occasion. The Petitions have come
trout every county anti district in England—from
almost the whole of the agricultural population
of the Kingdom. It is really disgusting to hear
the discussions on these subjects, and tile argu-
[Theists and optutons of men whose experience
does not enable them to or m a just opinion on the
subject. Some of ti.em may have a notion of the
vaine of money, but they expose their presume'
lion when they talk on agricultural matters. Every
thing is lugged into the discussion ; and one of
them, as 416101 MS to the subject of corn, tells us,
as reported in the debates, that the Navigation
La s are worse than useless. And, by way of
returning, to the question, he says, this country
wr:nild become the richest in the world it we
conk) get rid OF tWO burdens--the National Debt
and the Corn 'lays. How severe the duty of
listening to such piAiticians !
We are, sometimes told that the change from
war to p ace has affected agriculture. This
change, i“.‘‘ever, has nothing to do with the
present ells re sS of the Agi ists ; nor can
they (million of any cause except the immense
holn of taxes and assessments, and the interfer-

avo;dAbly and patiently submit ; but for (helm-

prospects. the remedy is in otir power : that re-
medy would not raise the price of bread, as is
suggested, but undoubtedly, in the end, would
lower it.

Riepd reduction of the interest of money, and es-
pecially of the. funds ; and thus place land and
money more nearly on a level. They, perhaps,
ate not aware of the very considerable reduction
of rent, anti retrench ntent of expellee, which have
taken place in the greater part of England and
Ireland. On the rents of lands depend a thou-
sand engager9o.nts .and established distribution of
labour and comfort, - which must give way with
the rents themselves. And its far•as the price of
grain is concerned, it• may be ohs, rved, that .the
difference between what is deemed a high and
moderate rent, goes but little way in the expellee
of tillage.

I.must repeat, that the agricultural question is
completely distinct front the cotrilicreial ; and
men, distinguished for • their knowledge of the
stale of the country awd,of political economy,
sltyiiid alone have-formed the Committee. Com

terest to commercial speculaiion. Nor should
we bolster up the funds and foreign trade so as to
make our safety and welfare dependent altogether
on their success or failure. •

I entirely deny that a greater capital was-em-
ployed in agriculture, in conseqttence ot any ac-
cumulation arising from the wa► : but the increase
of paper currency (not exceeding, •howeyer, as I
believe, the amount of the coin which had been
withdrawn, and the real wants' ot the coat► ty)
enabled the country bankers and others to asstst
the Agriculitiristin their pursuit- *; •chile the
untimely Aithdrawing of that 'paper cutren,cy to
the amount of several millions-with the sit w of
supporting •fanciful experiiiiews anti schemes of
returning to cash paytuents at the most nnpropi-
flout moment, has materially brought on the pre-
sent distress'''.

A secure and • permanent protecting duty in all
cases against an overwhelming importati,n (tl
reign grain, is the encouragement the_ Agricul
wrists require. Confidence should by all means
be Brt 41-(:(1 to them. At present their

As to the statement of the frightful amount of grain ware-
housed, it would be still more to the purpose to observe,
that the value of foreign grain imported in 1t.117 and 1818, as
laid before Parliament, amounted to 2!,035,5-24. The ware-
housing of grain, which was first introduced into the system
by the Act of 1791, is by far the most pernicious part of the
Corn Laws. •

inquire into the allegations of the. Petitions ; hut the next
day that Committee was instructed not to attend to the prayer
of the Petitions, nor even permitted to make an inquiry into
the general question pf.the averages, as applied to the king-
dom at large, but restricted to at examination of any ahu,es
which might exist in the mode hf taking the averages in the

For some days past the inhabitants of the
Kent-road have been ;ouch annoyed and alarmed
by loud screams,- which seemed to issue from a
cottage in the occupation of a woman of ra,her
questionable character, whose, husband -is con-
fined in Horsemonger-latie prison on a charge
of forgery. The shrieks were continued daily
almost without intermi,sion, which induced the
landlord of the Green Man, public house, and
five or six others of tl►e neighbours, to take sonic
measures to ascertain the cause. An attempt was
made to force the door, but it failed, and one
of the squares of glass was then broken and a man
lifted up to the window. In one corner of the
room he beheld three poor children, the eldest of.
‘vhorn was not more than eight years old, lying
on a straw pallet, and so exhausted with weeping
and hunger that the, eldest conk] hardly walk.to
the window i they said,-that their mother was. in
the habit of going out early in the morning, and.
. not returning sometimes ail night, but mote fre-
quently for rwo days together, tiurit'g which they
were left entirely without food,. and locked up.—.
The neighbours supplied them with food for a day
or two, (hiring which they kept a watch fur the
inhuman mother, who did not return home till
two o'clock iti_the morning, and then she was
quite drunk. A deputation of the inhabitants,
consisting of four persons, waited on Alder-
man J. J. SMITH, at_the Town-hall, to whom
the case was detailed, and the Worthy Alderman
immediately advanced a solo from the Cky, Funds
to be applied to their use, it- necessary, aid dis-
patched Breve, the Marshalu►an, to the house,
whose picture of their situation was most deplor-
able. The Parish Officers have since takeit the
unfortunate.. children -under their care, but. their

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.
PROGRS'S OF FEDUCATION.The Anniversary Meeting of this Society was
held on t...itt:tirday, in the large Room of ,he Free
masons' Queen-street. The room was
completely filled by a most respectable assemblage
of nearly one thousand persons, principally cons-
posed of elegantly dressed females. Many fn
reiorers of distinction, and .persons of eminent
philanthropy, were present. His Royal Highness_
the Duke of SCSSE; had promised to preside, but
a letter was read trom his Royal Flightless, apo-
logizing for his being unable to attend on account
of indispoFition, upon which
Lord EBRINGTON was unanimously called to the
Chair.—The Report of the Committee was read
by the Rev. G. CLAYTON, .and gave universal sa-
tisfaction.
Mr. WILBRRFORCH congratulated the Meeting
on the progress of the great cause of eThicati.on.
During the present gloomy.aspect of the political
atmosphere, the soccess,of Societies like this
threw a gleam of light
.over the mind which was
highly consolatory_ He described at great length
the benefits which education would produce, and
detailed the progress. of liberal opinions. Even
commerce had become wore liberal, and-the long
prevailing notion that the prosperi7y of one
country. was only to be. raised by the .de-
pression of another, was now exploded. Edu-
cation would bind nations closer together, and
tend to do away with the . greatest. of all
earthly evils—war which they knew could only
arise from people not knowing their real interests;
for war was as destructive to virtue as. it was to
humanity, and the most victorious nations long
felt the Woeful effects which the poison infused
by military habits, engendered by war, left be-
At least, if %vas eould'not wholly he ex-
tirpated, it would he greatly ameliorated, mid
men would he tendered still less ferocious and
sangilittary towards each other. As.an example
