from the tradesman to the country gentleman. It is not
a Gourmand's book, nor does it pretend to be; and though
we shall not put away Rundell and Kitchiner for Mrs.

TALES of a GRANDFATHER, THIRD SERIES.
By Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bait.
London, England, 1829-11-16

BARNSLEY, Nov. 13.

All the weavers who have been so fortunate act°
.
obtain work, are now activly employed in :tb!irt
looms, and business is proceeding here as Usti"'
though perhaps with a little increase of spirit, owil
to many of the houses having been so long tinter
ployed. The report of the apprehension of 01'
Ashton, at Whitby, one of the leading members
the Barnsley Weavers' Committee, as stated in di
Leeds Mercury of last week, proved to be correct;
and on Friday evening he arrived at this plates
custody, and was lodged in the town prison, en
charge of being concerned in the riot and attack 9$
Sykes's house at Dodworth, on Thursday, the lit'
of October. Last Saturday William Jagger, westv!r'
of Worsbro'-common, was apprehended on a chat °
of being concerned in the attack on Mr. Thom"
Jackson's house, at Keresforth-hill, on the night.°
Wednesday, the 26th of Atigust last, when till;
gentleman's house was set on fire, and the furnifal
and books consumed. On Monday, John Carr ill
Thomas Oates, (usually called Thomas -Hoyle,:
weavers, were apprehended, and committed te,
prison on a similar charge. On Wednesday, 011
Ashton underwent an examination before L.
Wharncliffe, the Rev. Dr. Corbett, and' Joseph:
Beckett, Esq., when he was committed to 31°7
Castle to take his trial for the offence at the at,
Assizes. Jagger and Carr were also examined, but
the principal evidence against, them being MO')
they were remanded. Between the periog -
Hoyle's committal, and the examination before dif
Magistrates, he had effected his escape, under
following extraordinary circumstances, and has 61.
since been heard of:—About two o'clock in O.:,
afternoon of Monday last, soop after Hoyle 4
-Carr witre.conunitted, a dense smoke,-soo,
ed by flame, was seen to issue from the gr'll
window of the Rrison. An alarm was instant!!
raised that the prison was cm fire, when fictiud
Woodcock, a constable, who had posseisiort°fl"3'
keys, in the absence of Carnelly, the police-office,"'
wishing to rescue the prisoners from what be con''
sidered their impending fate, opened the door'
Hove, seizing the moment of liberation, ran off At
full speed, and effected his escape; but the other'
prisoners remained, and when the alarm was Oct.
they were again secured. There is reason to suP',
pose that the fire in the prison was,a stratagem, cc,
certed for the purpose of effecting the escape
Hoyle, and that it proceeded from a quantity* °,
straw, which was in the inside of the prison, haling)
been collected and ignited at the window. It or/
pears that Hill, a very active constable, was pristh,
when the prison door was thrown open, and it
said that he either secured Ashton, or that AA°
secured him, while Hoyle threw off hie hat and cost,'
and scampered off at a speed which set pursuit
defiance.—Leeds Mercury.

DOE EX DEM. LEIGH V. LEIGH.

Mr. DENMAN stated, that proper inquiries had
been made, and it had been found that the alleged
title of the lessor of the plaintiff had accrued on the
2d of July, 1826, and that the writ in the Leigh
ejectaients had not been served till the 3d of July,
1826, so that they were a day too late.
The Rule for staying the proceedings in the eject-
ment causes was therefore discharged.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 31.
SCOTT V. PITT.

Mr. Pitt, the defendant in this case, appeared in
person to move that the proceedings in this action
might be dismissed with costs. He produced an
affidavit, which stated that this action had been
brought against him by the present plaintiff, on a
bill of exchange, or banker's draft, which he had not
paid, in consequence of having received notice from
one of the parties interested to withhold payment of
it.' It further described, that an action on the same
bill of exchange, or banker's draft, had been com-
menced against him by different parties in the Court
of King's Bench; and that the cause in this Court
was set down in the paper for trial at the last sittings
in this_Term. The defendant submitted that he
was not bound to answer two suits in respect of the
same demand, and he moved that the present action
might be dismissed from this Court.
The Cotwr consented to grant a rule, calling on
the plaintiff to shew cause why the proceedings in
the action in this Court should not be stayed.
The CHIEF JUSTICE afterwards went to preside
at the Nisi Prins sittings in London, where the ex-
cuses of the persons summoned to attend as Jury-
men were so numerous, that his Lordship was occu-
pied the first twenty-five minutes of the sitting in
disposing of them. The number of Quakers who
rejected the dress, but' affirmed their belief in the
faith of that sect, was considerable. The cases tried
only involved matters of interest to the parties.

Wellington, but we deny the inference, that from
thence we may expect any Governmental arrange-,
went of that eternal source of disquiet--the
question of Catholic Emancipation. We pre-
tend to no more information than our neigh-
bours, but we again declare, that every thing which
has hitherto transpired on Irish affairs, justifies the
opinion that no measure for the relief of the Catho-
lics will voluntarily emanate from Ministers in the
forthcoming Session of Parliament. At the same
time we believe that " the Duke," who may be
called the entire Cabinet,• acts on no settled plan,
but is a mere creature of circumstances, and there-
fore may regulate his future conduct not so much by
any laid down rule, as by the occurrence of events,
which he may suppose may hare a bearing, though
remote, on the point at issue. If, for instance,
Russia continues restive, and by her hostile perti-
nacity towards the Turks, threatens an embroilment
of Europe, we then would give a ready credence to
" the Duke's" good wishes towards Ireland ; but
as long as all in the political horizon continue
smooth, and clear skyed, in spite of the Times'
prognostications, the Irish Catholics may bid adieu
to the hope of receiving any boon from an Admi-
nistration, of which " the great Captain of the
age," (as some call him, but- who Mr. O'Connell
terms. the " chance victor") is the predominant
head.

the commerce, agriculture, and manufactures of ,
France was forcibly pointed out. The Petitioners
represented, that all commerce was founded on a
principle of reciprocity—that it was mere delusion
to attempt to sell to the foreigner without buying
from him—that iron and linen were among the
principal equivalents which the foreigners in the
North of Europe had to give in exchange for French
wines, brandies, silks, &c. of which they purchased
so very largely; that it would of necessity follow,
that by excluding those articles, the trade with them
would be proportionally diminished ; and that a mor-
tal blow would thus be given, not to the commerce
only, but to all the great branches of industry car-
lied on in the kingdom. No answer was made to
these representations, arid for this plain reason, that
none could be made." The annual exportation of
wine from Bordeaux, previously to the Revolution,
amounted on an average to about 100,000 tuns.
Notwithstanding the growing demand for French
wines, the expOrt is now reduced to less than half
of what it was before 1790. The following is a
statement of the exportation of wine froth Bordeaux

The export to Dantzic has fallen off from 6,000
tuns to 400 or 500 tuns; to Prussia, from 15,000
tuns to 4,000; to Holland, in about the same pro-
portion ; to Hamhurgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, from
40,000 to about 15,000 ; to Sweden, f, om 7.000 to
about 100 ; Denmark and Norway, from 5,000 to
1,000 ; and to Russia, from 12,000 to 4,000 tuns.
In April last it was estimated that there were
600,000 tuns of wine in the department of the
Gironde for which no outlet could be found, and the
glut in other departments has been proportionally
great. A great fall has, in consequence, taken place
in the price of vineyards, the great bulk of which
have become quite unsaleable. We have seen that
about three millions of people are dependent on
the wine cultivation. Now, for whom are they sa-
crificed? The whole number of persons engaged in
the productiOn and manufacture of iron does not ex-
ceed from 70 to 80,000, or about one-fortieth part of
those engaged in the wine trade. In the same man-
ner, with regard; to the linen trade, the increase of
the duties of which took place in 1822. " Foreign
linens (says the Reviewer) bad been chiefly im-
ported from the Netherlands, Prussia, and Germany,
and formed one of the principalequivalents they had
to give in exchange for the wines, brandies and silks
of France; so that their exclusion necessarily caused
that extraordinary decline in the exportation of wine
to those countries." Such is the wisdom of the
French Government—such the prosperity to which
its measures have led. A Swiss writer, Sulzer,
says, that the doubling of the duty on foreign linen
induced the Belgian Government to adopt measures
by which France lost fifty times more than the
bleachers of Lille gained.

toes, and thus, under proper management, supply work
and food for theist who could not otherwise .get .employ-
meat—this, with some small assistance from a general
county rate, to purchase comforts for the aged and infirm,
would greatly contribute to the happiness of the country.
" It is at all events most desirable to get rid of the re-
gularly practising vagrants is Ireland—a picturesque set of
rogues, who are the promoters and abettors of all manner of
immorality. These people, front the poor regular wit-to
goes aboat to collect meat and potatoes in his bag, for the
support of himself and his brother friars, down to the little
beggar roman, who carries scandal and love messages, and
steals chickens, from cottage to cottage, are cognisant of,
or concerned in, every breach of the law, great or email,
which is committed. Their profession gives them ready
access into every cottage, or kitchen of a great house; and
if a hou ;e is to he robbed, a young woman to be carried off,
a stolen -beep killed, or any other of those romantic amuse-
ments so common in Ireland, to be pursued, the assistance
of the v %grant is always ready, as a spy, or a messenger.
Some of them are very temler-hearted. and faithful to their
friends, but nevertheless, very great rogues, almost all."
" Luther" is an eloquent and impassioned
character and biography of that hero of the Re-
formation : it is of some length, but it is fr.r
from being wearisome or heavy. " First and
Last" is a quaint original anecdote, which to be
appreciated must be attentively perused ; and
The Modern Gyges," a tale, whose leading
defectootwithstanding that it possesses passages
of great force and descriptive merit, is its some-
what too voluptuous details of denuded Italian
beauty. It is indeed, what its author terms it,
a tale of trials, and cannot be read without a
quickening pulse. It should therefore be only
perused during a severe winter at the North Pole.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

On Sunday lasts hawker of earthenware, named
John Burton, with three others in the same line,
went into the park of Sir Humphrey Davy, Bart. in
the parish of Sandford, near Crediton, to slide on a
pond that was frozen over, and where three boys
were similarly amusing themselves. The men were
accompanied by a dog, and they had not been there
long, when the gamekeeper of Sir 11. Davy approach-
ed them, armed with a double-barrel gun, and after
a slight altercation threatened to shoot the dog if it
was not immediately taken away. One of the men
in the most civil manner proceeded to remove the
dog. Some words were exchanged between Burton
and the gamekeeper, in which the latter charged
the former with being a trespasser, which was -re-
torted by Burton's pulling out a penny from his
pocket, saying it was all the money he had, and
he:would pay that for the trespass. The provoca-
tion, slight as it was, threw the gamekeeper into a
passion, when he - the man for a rascal, and
threatened, if he did not immediately leave the
grounds, he would knock his brains out. In order to
obey the mandate, Burto❑ retreated towards a wall,
at the distance of about three feet high on the side
nearest the ground, and about eight or nine feet
above the road. The gamekeeper followed hirn,arid
in his progress removed the stock of the gun from
the barrels, arid threw the former on the ground,
and while Burton was in the act of letting himself
down on the outside of the wall, the gamekeeper
struck him a most violent blow with the barrels just
behind the ear, which fractured the skull in a most
dreadful manner, the brains protruding through the
wound, and the unfortunate man dropped lifeless
into the road.

A coroner's inquest was held on the body, at Long
Barn, on Tuesday, before James Partridge, Esq.
coroner, and a most respectable jury. The three
men and the three boys were separately examined
out of hearing of each other, and the particulars
were given by each in the clearest manner, and with-
out the slightest variation, except that the boys did
not hear the threat made by the gamekeeper to
knock the deceased's brains out. A verdict of man-
slaughter was returned! The deceased is about 24
years of age, and has left a wife and one child. The
gamekeeper has nine children, and his wife on the
eve of her confinement with her tenth. Sir IL Davy
gave his servant an excellent character, and in his
general conduct he has always been considered a
kind, though a passionate man.— Western Times.

" Doctor Cole, an historical Tale, founded on

Doctor Cole to Ireland, with a commission from

who professed the doctrines of the II brormation,
and refused to abjure them ; and which said com-
mission was stolen at Chester by the landlady of the -

BURKE'S DICTIONARY of the PEER
AGE and BARONETAGE of the BRUM

Ths extraordinary success of this work has imposed a
deity upon the Editor, of which he trusts the forthcoming
Edition will prove that he has satisfactorily acquitted him-
self. Each respective article will be found corrected with
the most minute attention, from the most authentic cam-
. mituications, and where the slightest obscurity appeared in
the lineage of any particular house, the whole has been re-
modelled. The Editor's attention having been directed to
cillaterals, he has introduced all those who come within the
most remote remainderhhip of family honours : and he has
used more than ordinary care in tracing presumptive heirs.
To render the Heraldic Delsartment more complete, the
Armorial Bearings are described in the body of the work,
independently of the Engravings.
To the Baronetcies of Scotland and Ireland appertaining
to morn than 200 ancient families whose lineage .is given
exclusively in this work, the utmost attention has been paid,
and the Editor begs to thank the heads of those houses for
the polite assistance they have afforded

TUE VUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELIR e'CLoez.
In the midst of theintense interest which attaches to the
proceedings in both Houses of Parliament this afternoon,
another topic be also excited some interest in the City,
viz. the arrival .at 13reot of four of the transports which
sailed with the Portuguese emigrants, after having been
prevented landing at Terceira ; an express has arrived at
Paris to this effect, and further information may be hourly
expected relative to this affair, and, if report states facts,
circumstances bare occurred that must and will call loudly
for a serious explanation of this transaction ; the transports,
all of which were English vessels, have been fired at, and
three of the parties un board of one of them in consequence
have lost their lives. - Whether they were fired at by the
British vessels of war, or not, is not distinctly ascertained,
but lives have been sacrificed, and the guilty party to this
charge ►ill have to account for a foul and deliberate mur-
der against a body of unfortunate and unarmed-men, in
the course of a legitimate voyage openly taken, and so little
ceremony used to conceal their destination, that at the
period of the vessels sailing, they were stated as bound to
Terceira,lin the regular Lloyd's List published to the whole
world.

Consols opened this morning at 87H both for money
and time, and a good deal of business has been doing,
principally for money, at 87fa, and faai for account,
and a tendency has been shoWn towards a heavy market,

ents worth extracting :

The Representatives of the County of Halifax (S. G.
Archibald and Laurence Hai tshorn) waited on the Hon.
M. Wallace, and presented an Address from the district of
Pictou, signed by upwards of 840 of the inhabitants of
Ih: t flourishing portion of the province, on his resignation
m • tie reins of Government. The Address is dated De-
eernwr 23, and expresses, in very strong terms, the bene-
fits the country has enjoyed, ari.ing from his paternal soli-
citude for the general welfwe of the country during his li-
mited administration. The Address must have been par-
ticularly gratifying to the feelings of that worthy indivi-
dual. Its sentiments are in accordance with those ex-
pressed by the community, and are the same that are en-
tertained by the inhabitants of the province generally. An
appropriate reply to the Address was made by the Magis-
trates and other inhabitants of Neon. It is extremely
gratifying to observe that in New Brunswick the Assembly
are proceeding in their deliberations with the utmost har-
mony among themselves, and a good understanding be-
tween them and Sir Howard Douglas.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1829.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

This long expected day has at length arrived

—arid public anxiety was nover more intense to

learn the particulars of the KING'S Speech, be.:

cause on no former occasion was there a subject

of such vital importance understood to be rc-

commended to Parliament.

The happy settlement of that Question—Civil

and Religious Liberty—will confer an endless

blebsing upon the nation, and give an enviable

immortality to that Minister who has the firmness

to recommend—to that Parliament whose wisdom

shall sanction—and to that Gracious Monarch

whose benevolence and virtue shall give the Royal

Assent to the most just—the most sacred Bill

which was ever presented to a British Sovereign,

for the benefit of his people.

But we are only writing in anticipation of

what the next hour will confirm, or-but let

us not despair.

Early this morning the usual preparations for

the opening of Parliament commenced—and

were proceeded with till nearly two o'clock, when

crowds of people began to assemble at both

Houses of Parliament.

At two o'clock Parliament was opened by

his AIAJESTY's Commissioners, consisting of

the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON, Earl Sir ArrEssumr; Eirt BA-

THURST, and Lord ELLENBOROUGU.

There were very few Peers in the House,

amongst them we observed the --Dukes of

CLARENCE and RICHMOND, and Lords

GODERICH, BEXLEV, HILL, and Ton-

RINGTON.

There were five Bishops ' pre-
