LAND CRABS OF JAMAICA.

Crabs abound in the eastern part of Jamaica,
at all seasons, but are considered to be best in
the months the names of which contain the let-
ter IL They are most plentiful in May, the
season at which they deposit their eggs, or run,
as the Negroes express it, and when the earth is
literally covered with them. At this season it
is imposslble to keep them out of the houses,
or even out of the bed-rooms, where, at one
time scratching with their large claws, and at
another rattling across the floor, they make a
noise that would not a little astonish and alarm
a stranger. Occasionally they will lodge them-
selves very snugly in a boot, and if a person
puts his foot upon them inadvertently, he has
quick intimation of the intruder, by a grasp of
his nippers. For a few weeks in this season
they may be gathered in any quantities, and the
Negroes sometimes hurt themselves by making.
too free use of them. Even the hogs catch
them, although not always with impunity, as a
crab sometimes gets hold of one of them by the
snout, fromwhich he is not easily disengaged
and the terrified animal runs about squeaking in
great distress.
At other seasons, and when more valuable,
they are caught by torch light at night, and put
into covered baskets. Crowds of Negroes from
the neighbouring plantations pass my house every
evening with their torches and baskets, going to
a crab wood on the other side, and return before
midnight fully laden. Their baskets will con-
tain about forty crabs, and the regular price is
a five-penny piece, our smallest coin equal to
about 31-d. sterling, for five or six crabs. At
this rate a Negro will make 2s. 6d. currency in
an evening ; and the more improvident, who will
not cultivate provision grounds;depend, in some
measure, upon catching crabs and selling them
to the others. A hundred plantains usually sold
at five shillings, will purchase from sixty to
seventy crabs, and two of these eaten-with plan-
tains or yams make an excellent meal. I have
seen upwards of a hundred Negroes pass my
house in an evening, and return with their bas-
kets on their heads, not only full of crabs, but
with quantities of them fastened by the claws on
the tops of the baskets. I make but a moderate
computation when I suppose they must have had
at the very least three thousand crabs. Almost
every Negro family has an old flour barrel pierced
with holes, in which their crabs are kept. They
are fed with plantain skins, &c. and taken out
and thrown into the pot as wanted. —Edinburgh

INTERESTING CEREMONY AT ESHER•

PL A CE,
ONCE THE RESIDENCE OF CARDINAL WOLSEr.

:(From the Court Journal.)
Everybody has heard, or ought to have heard, of
the celebrated Tulip Tree of Esher-place,—a tree,
whose neighbouring "green retreats" have not gone
unsung by the lyres of Pope and Thompson, and,
above all, by the master hand of Shakspeare.
The failing state of this interesting tree, has been
the occasion of a no less interesting ceremony,
which took place in Esher Park, on the 4th of this
present November. The mother of Sir Robert Ker
Porter, a venerable lady of SI, whose green old
age might be compared with its subiee, (possessing
a rare vitality in protracted years and strength,
though the hoary bead is visible, and the time-
stricken limbs,)—planted with her own hand a
young and flourishing successor to the veteran tree.
The spot chosen was on the gentle slope of the lawn,
nearly opposite to the old ivy covered tower of
Wolsey. The sapling had been reared by herself
from a nut of the famous black walnut of the Ohio
—the Tree of Peace—supposed to be above 500
years old ; and the trunk of which was brought to
England, from North America, about two years ago.
The nut was given to the venerable lady by Mr.
Ranking, (the author of the profound antiquarian
works on ancient Tartar history, connected with the
Romans and the Americans, called " Wars and
Sports," and '' The Origin of the Incas of Peru,"
&c.)—for the very purpose of its hereafter supplying
the place of the long revered Tulip-tree. After rear-
ing it in a pot at her own home, she planted it in the
open ground of Esher-place, in the presence of her son,
Sir Robert Ker Porter, who had recently returned
from the native country of the tree,—and of her
friends the family of Spicer,—whose character, as the
present Lords of the soil, is well worthy the pos-
session of a place, which long bore " the name of
Pelham, and its virtues."

When the young sapling was put into the ground
by the vcnersble lady, it was accompanied with a
little casket containing three medals commemorative
of the period of its planting and the origin of the
tree; one, of the United States of America, an-
other of the New South American Republic, and
the third, of George the Fourth of Great Brita 4,7).
The ccre►nony was particularly striking, from the
remarkable age of the lady, and that of the present
tree; also of the one it was to succeed, and the cele-
brated antiquity of Esher-place itself.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday three men, named Duff, Reilly, and
Gory, were brought before Mr. SWABET, charged
on suspicion with robbing the master of a Lisbon
trader of a gold watch and seals.
The prisoners were well known to all the officers
as reputed thieves, and were remanded for examina-
tion on Wednesday.
A woman, named Hicks, the wife of a travelling
tinker, was charged with being drunk and biting off
the top of a watchman's thumb. The poor watch-
man exhibited his lacerated finger, and in a tone of
anguish complained that of all the female drunkards
he ever had to do with, she was the most inveterate.
He first saw her, he said, lying on the cold steps of
a doorway, and pitying her situation, exposed there
as she was on such a bitter night, he went up and
gave her a gentle shake by the shoulders, saying,
" My good woman, come, get up and go home."
He had no sooner touched her than she jumped up
and flew at him like a fury, tooth and nail, and hav-
ing got his thumb into her mouth, did not let go of
it until she nipped the top off between her teeth.
It took three men to convey this virago to the
watch-house, and the whole of the way she kicked
and plunged, aad alarmed the inhabitants by her
shouts and vociferations. It was stated that she
was a common drunkard, and the Magistrates were
about committing her for the assault on the watchman,
in default of payment of the tine, when her husband
stepped forward, saying, " I hope you vorships will
not be hard upon my old woman; she used to drink
at one time, I knows, every day of her life, sixteen
glass of gin before she went to bed, but now your
vorships 1 c assure lon that she never exceeds

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1829.

The fight made by the ultra faction during the
late memorable—we may almost add—unprece-
dented debates in the House of Lords, has astonish-
ed all classes by its extreme tameness and insipidity.
These factious Anti-Catholics (who, whatever
may be said of their judgment, have certainly never
been wanting in spirit)seemed from the commence-
ment of the discussions to be cowed, panic-struck,
heart-broken. The opening speech of the Duke of
WELLINGTON appeared—to use a homely but ex-
pressive phrase— to have " taken the shine out of
them." Even the Corypliceus of the fraternity,
JOHN Lord ELDON himself, lost all the wonted
fire of his hostility on the occasion, and so far
from arguing boldly against the measures, kept
throughout begging the question and deprecating
the wrath of the Liberals. The consequence of this
meekness and despondence, on the part of the Arch-
In,
tolerant was, that the whole brotherhood of the
deep-mouthed advocates of " no-surrender," sur-
rendered at discretion, and thereby conduced
to that glorious majority of ONE HUNDRED
AND FIVE, which so long as Great Britain
is the chosen seat and nurse of generous and manly
feeling will be toasted with enthusiasm and reve-
rence. For ourselves, words are wanting to ex-
press the full measure of our veneration for that un-
equalled hero and enlightened statesman, at whose
suggestion, and by whose intrepid energies peace
has been restored to Ireland, and justice done to
seven millions of long suffering and proscribed Ca-
tholics. But already he reaps his reward, in the
conviction that he has rendered himself the first
man- of his age, and that his just and holy contest
at St. Stephen's, has almost eclipsed the glories of
Waterloo.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM LISBON.

(From the First Number of the Falmouth Parket and
Cornish Herald.)

His Majesty's cutter Bramble, Lieut. Haswell, arrived
here at noon, seven days from Lisbon, with the mail from
that city. By her we learn that Don Miguel, not content
with the late executions which he had caused, had sought
to gratify his thirst for blood by attempting to murder his
elder sister !! ! A Count, who interfered to rescue the
Princess, fell a sacrifice to the violence of the enraged Don,'
who confined his sister to her room, and every day
glutted his revenge by personally beating her. Arrests stil
continued, and many persons were preparing to take
their departure. The Bramble has brought twenty two
passengers with her. The squadron for Terceira had not
sailed at the time of the Bramble's departure. The Sand-
wich, Capt. Schuyler, arrived at Lisbon on the 25th ult.

The Princess POLIGNAC returned to town
yesterday, from Brighton, where she has been staying
some weeks for the benefit of her health. Her Highness
is much improved in consequence of the sea air.

DR. GALL.—A subscription is on foot for a
monument to the memory of the late Dr. GALL, in the
burial-ground of Pere la Chase; the statuary to be execu-
ted by M. FOYATIER, and the architecture to be by M.
VISCONTI.

TRADE WITH THE EAST INDIZS.-L--ThiS
morning Mr. BUCKINGHAM commenced a series of lectures
at the City of London Tavern, on the past and present
state of the Eastern World. The chief object in view is to
draw attention to the importance to all classes of people in
the country, as well as to Government itself; further to
extend our commercial relations with India by the removal
of all restrictions on the trade, and by such means securing
a free commercial intercourse. In the course of the lec-
tures to be given, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Mesopotamia,
and India, its productions, and the general commercial re-
sources of the Eastern World, will be brought under
notice. Mr. BucxiscHAm's first lecture, this morning,
was on Egypt and its splendid antiquities. It was pretty
fully attended, and the lecturer was proceeding when our
Reporter left.

POLICE COURT. _Yesterday a woman was
charged with stealing a pair of scissors. This wretched
and incorrigible woman came to Edinburgh thirteen years
ago, and, according to a biographical account of her life
as kept in the records of the Court, she has been sixty-
seven times in Bridewell, making in all about eleven
years ant of the thirteen. She was remitted to the Ma-
gistrates, under circumstances certain to ensure her of an-
other visit to that place of punishment, a dreadful lesson
to all who forsake the paths of industry and morality.--

DUTCH PAPERS.

BUCHAREST, MARCH 14.—Count Zoltuschen, the new
President of the principalities, has already done away with
many abuses. The Metropolitan of Bucharest who pub-
licly expressed his disapprobation of the requisition of pro-
visions, and refused to affix his signature to the orders
issued on this head, is banished to Mohilew. On the
other hand, Theodore Balsch, a Boyard of the first class,
who provided for the delivery of the materials for the erec-
tion of two bridges over the Danube, has received from
the Emperor of Russia the insignia of the Order of St.
Anne, in diamonds.

The Russian army, and especially a number of officers,
appears not to be well satisfied with the late regulations and
appointments, and many do not hesitate publicly to express

their opinions.
PIILDERHEIM, MARCH 26.—The new Bishop of this
diocese is appointed, to the satisfaction both of the Cathc=
lies and Protestants—the choice has fallen on the Rev.
M. Osthans, dean of the chapter, and has been confirmed
by the Government.
HAMBURGH, MARCH 31.-Funds are brisk, prices are
rising, and there are buyers at all the quotations below.
The lige of the French three per cents. has occasioned
an eager demand for Danish three per cents., which, how-
ever, are not easily to be had.
To-morrow the first Polish Bonds are expected to appear
in our market : the engagements already entered into are
to date from April 1. These Bends are at present offered
at 99 ; money abundant.

SPITALFIELDS' WEAVERS.

Last Thursday, Sir R. Vyvyan paid a visit to Bethnal-
green, for the purpose of personally ascertaining the extent
of the distress at present existing in the district. The
Hon. Baronet alighted at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo-
town, where he entered into familiar conversation with
about from 30 to 50 weavers, whose meagre countenances
and attenuated forms, shortly convinced him of the truth
of their deplorable condition. The Hon. Baronet then
proceeded to the residence of an operative, and witnessing
that " mansion of misery,,' he gave the woman a sovereign
to provide bread and coals for her children, and left the
neighbourhood, satisfied that the distress was much more
extensive, severe, and afflicting, than what it was repre-
sented to be.

A sort of hoax was played off on the weavers on Saturday
mornir.g, by some persons announcing, by means of pla-
cards, that a general meeting of the craft would be held
that clay at one o'clock, at 11r. Clarke's Tea Gardens.
When the hoax was di,covered, the meeting, consisting of
nearly 2,000 weavers, separated.

Another meeting took place the same night, at the Duke
of Gloucester Tavern, and the following letter, in reply to
one requesting the Home Secretary to forward their ad-
dress to the King, was read :
" Whitehall, 30th March, 1829.
_ _

Sir,—Mr. Secretary Peel has desired me to inform
you that lie is ea much occupledawith public business at
present, as to be unable to appoint a time for receiving the
Committee of the Bread Silk Weavers of Spitalfields ; but
if you will transmit the address alluded to in your letter to
this office, Mr. Peel will not fail to take the earliest oppor-
tunity of laying it before his Majesty.—l am, &c. &c.
" Mr. Grove, &c., &c." " S. M. PHILLIPS."

Mr. Grove, who had left the room after the above letter
was read, returned soon afterwards, and said that an answer
from his Majesty to their address was arrived, and it would
be read at a public meeting en Thursday next.

Yesterday a grand dinner was given by the
Countess of SAITDWICH, at her residence in Dover-street.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Lord F. Somerset entered the office, and complained'
the sitting Magistrate, G. W. MARRIOTT, Esq., of a toto
who had grossly insulted and abused his Grace the
of Wellington, while passing through St. James's-?"
and who had been taken into custody by officers.
Mr. MARRIOTT-What is your name? Defendssti
My name is John Appleyard. I don't mind the Dukti
Wellington or any one of them—they art all in leaguev
Belzebub, the Prince of Devils. I ani out of the 10
descendants of Henry the Eighth.
Lord Fitzroy Somerset was then sworn.
Defendant—lf I mistake not, you belong to the 48d 1100e'
giment. Let the Duke of Wellington pay me the 4,
dollars he owes me for the capture of—(the name of
place we could not catch)—in Spain, I'll settle him it
don't.
His Lordship, amidst the frequent interruptions oft
defendant, stated that between eleven and twelve
that morning, he was walking with the Duke of Welling
ton in St. James's Park, opposite to the Horse Guam:
when the defendant, who was a few yards distant froi
them, celled out, " My Lord Wellington ; I wish to 811;
to you." The Duke turned round, and said, "I cap
speak to you." The defendant followed, and said 11 j
Scks.
- thing about some money, which he asserted the Duke°
him, and said he wanted payment. The Duke at
turned round, and asked him to what regiment be t!
belonged, and he replied the 48th. He then abused
tsY
3711 Grace most grossly, and called him an old rascal. At
875 entrance to the enclosure in the Park, opposite the 11°,,,
.1y
1.2°3 Guards, the defendant still continuing his abusive_ Ali'
20 guage, his Grace gave him into custody. The "'
93- knows nothing of the defendant.
905 Mr. MARRIOTT-Did he demand money from bisG
100 except as a debt which he said was owing to him ?
Somerset—Certainly not.
183 Was it your impression at the time that the defend°
was insane ?—lt was.
240
200 Defendant—l glory in what I have done. The rti
536 owes me money, and how can I live on 7d. per dal IF'
sion ?
What have you to say to this charge ?—What have
to impute to me ?
—3636 You have heard the charge ?—Who gave the in't
first? What has the Duke to say for insulting me, aAd
scentlant of Henry VIII., and Heir Presumptive to
Crown ?
Do you make any answer to the charge? I have
you what I intend to say.
You must find bail.—l will find no bail. I defy P"'
I defy the Duke of Wellington, or his Majesty George
The prisoner was then removed by the officers ; at"
.... Mr. MAanrorr told Lord Somerset that the opinion
150 ft
medical gentleman should be immediately taken as to Iviir
ther the defendant was insane or not.
The defendant appeared to be about 50 years of age
3786 and was dressed in a fustian coat and waistcoat, and ear;
duroy breeches, and had something the appearance of
6141
farmer.

PORTUGAL.

On the motion of Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH
the passages relating to Portugal in his Majaity's
Speeches at the close of the last Session, and at the
opening of the present Session, were entered ai
read.

Sir J. MACKINTOSH then spoke to the fol-
lowing effect :—Sir, it can scarcely be necessary for
any one who addresses the House from that part of
it from which I am now speaking, to disclaim feel.
ing any spirit of party opposition to his Majesty's
Ministers during the present Session of Parliament.
My own conduct, indeed, respecting the motion
which I am about to submit to the consideration of
the House, has been a fair sample of the principle
which has guided my Hon. Friends and myself from
the first day of the Session, when I intimated my
intention of bringing the subject before Parliament.
For the first two months of the Session I considered
myself under the most sacred and inviolable obliga-
tion of duty not to do any thing that should in the most
remote degree even ruffle the surface of that hearty
and complete co-operation, which experience has
proved was not more than was absolutely necessary
for the success of that grand healing measure which
I trust will be productive of the most impoi-tant
benefits, both to Ireland and the empire at large— a
measure unrivalled in importance since that happy
constitutional settlement of the Crown of these
Kingdoms on the House of Brunswick, which not
only secured the liberties of England, but gave the
death-blow to the pretensions of unbounded autho-
rity and indefeasible title all over the world. Sir,
the feelings with which I found myself fighting side
by side on the great question which has been re-
cently decided were too powerful to admit of ex-
pression, and were such as I can never forget.—
With the impression of such feelings strongly upon
me, it is not possible that I can at the present mo-
ment be actuated by any spirit of hostility towards
his Majesty's Ministers. I shall endeavour, as fully
as I can, to do my duty on the present occasion ; but
as I feel no hostility, 1 shall certainly assume no
acrimony. On the other hand, however, lam in-
fluenced by the most anxious wish to keep the na-
tional honour unspotted, in the e)es not only of the
people of this country but of the people of Europe,
with reference to our conduct towards the faithful
ally of England, now degraded and disgraced
by the Government which now oppresses her.--
I ant influenced by a warm anxiety for the pre-
servation of our national honour, which, in my opi-
nion, is still more concerned in our not doing, or con-
niving at the doing, of wrong to others, than it is in
not tamely,baring the infliction of wrong on out -
sel yes.. I-confess, also, that, as a general principle,
I hold it to be a wholesome practice, and one toml-
ing to the preservation of the Constitution, that the
attention of this House, and through this House of
the people of England, should sometimes be callou
to our foreign relations, in order that tire pecTle

NEW STANDING ORDER.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved that the reso-
lution agreed to by their Lordships on Friday night
last, respecting Private Bills, should be made a

The motion was agreed to.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a pe-
tition from the University of Glasgow, praying for
certain amendments of the Anatomy Bill.

journed at five minutes past Seven o'clock.

Member moved that it shoidd ba printed. The Berof
stated, that the Committee had adopted

and that on this account the Society bad dotirisbetts.

had more than 1001. cash in hand.
Several Memlaers spoke on the contents of the Ifter-
and the affairs of the Society. It was stated that 001:
half-Yearly Report had been withheld from being Po
that the expence attending its printing might nos he_

highly objectionable. It was accordingly added AS a ritite:
to the first Resolution, that that Reprt be also pti'

and delivered to the Members as soon as possible.
was a standing rule, that no Member of the C°l'unittf.
should supply the Institution' with goods, tehereby?
might receive any pecuniary advantage. It was allito
that this rule had been violated by many Members °'
Committe:., inasmuch, as that they had directly or
raft
rectly supplied different articles, and received paymeo. ;
them. They excused themselves on the ground of hell
received no prf fit, and in this view the Chairman thlie
the rase had not been broken. Complaint was Pe .0
made of the scarcity of newspapers, and the irreBuis:ol
with which they were filed. Another great gro° ode
uljection was the insufficiency of the Lecturers. °
Member was greatly applauded in stating his coo/ff.:l.p
that no one who had heard any of the Lectures Ott abe
tend another from tbe same person, except it lair its
M.. Cooper, the Chemical Lecturer. The CAnglAio
concurred in the justice of the complaint, sod 101710,
future that more satisfaction would be given in the
nrto
tion of Lecturets. The Resolution that the. two gerpej
should be printed was carried: and the meeting di°st
at ten o'clock.
London, England, 1829-06-02

The amendment was then negatived ivithout at

division.

Mr. P. THOMPSON rose to propose an amend.
ment, which had for its object the reducti;•n of the
duty on hemp. He moved that the duty upon ;imp
be reduced from 4/. 13s. to ss. per ton.
Mr. P. COURTENAY, without differing from
many opinions which the Hon. Gent. entertained upon
this subject, could not consent to the sacrifice of
source of revenue which yielded 100,000!. per annum.
Mr. MABERLY supported the amendment.

Mr. SYKES said that the duty on hemp was one
of the causes of the existing distress, as well in thr
shipping as in the manufacturing interest, and that
it ought to be reduced without delay. The state of
the timber duties was equally anomalous, and full of
injustice. He trusted that the attention of the Go-
vernment would be seriously and immediately di-
rected to it.

General GASCOYNE supported the amend,
meat, aad should divide with the Hon. Member if
he pressed it to a division.

Mr. V. FITZGERALD said that no one would
more gladly bail the day when the Government
were able to remit the duty on hemp than himself,
and the House might depend upon its being done at
the earliest practicable moment.
Mr. WARBURTON supported the amendment.
Mr. P. THOMPSON briefly replied; •
And the House divided, when there appeared—
For the Amendment 4O
Against it 6O
Majority against the Amendment
The other clauses were agreed to, and the Bill
ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

A Message from the Lords announced that their
Lordships had agreed to various Bills.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that in the next
Session he should move for leave to bring in a Bill
to give Representatives in Parliament to Munches
ter, Leeds, and Birmingham.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH moved the postpone-
ment of the second reading of the Madras Registry
Bill till Wednesday.
