But this will not be the whole amount of the profits ; for we must
deduct from the expcnces, savings which may be made in them by
the poor man himself, at his leisure hours; and by his wife and children
upon special occasions ; such u 5s for half the digging - as for plant-
ing-5s 6d for the hoeing-7s 6d for half the digging out and bringing
home, which being added to the 41. 7s will render the profit on the
quarter 51. 10s or 221. an acre.
It is perfectly clear from this statement that, should the renter of a
quarter of an acre be inclined to go to market with his produce, he will
put yauly into his pocket between five and six pounds.
This great result of good to 140 families of the poor is not indeed
effected without some little loss to the benevolent Bishop, whore rental
upon the thirty-eight acres is thus reduced 191. per annum ; but it is ob-
vious that any landlord, less moved by the feelings of kindr.ess, the
obligations of duty, and the dictates of sound policy than his Lord-
ship, might, by acting upon the sane plan, and on the ume scale
and receiving the whole of the rent, be doing a like useful and humane
work.

We heartily recommend these plans,. the tracts, and the
society. We object only to the phrase " labouring roor,"
because if a man labours, and is not robbed, he is not poor.
All that is wanted is the payment of the 20th of a quarter
of wheat per day. There may be robbed poor, and it is
a libel on the community and laws, that such.a phrase as
" labouring poor" should be the currency of our languages.

HEIST Or THE LATE EARL Or DAEHLET.—We
. Saturday last, the funeral of this nobleman, which was im.
e from its simplicity. It consisted of a foot procession, like the !
Al of a private individual. The coffin partook of the same chaste
aaractet, having neither crest nor coronet on it ; nothing but a simple
record of the name and title, the period of birth, and that of the death of
its occupier. It was borne from Cobham-hall to the parish church, a
distance of more than a mile, on the shoulders of his agricultural la-
bourers, at his own desire, as expressed by him a few years ago, pre.
ceded by his principal household servants, several of Jae clergy of the
vicinity, and his medical attendants, and followed first by his oearest
relatives, among whom we noticed his daughter (the Lady Elizabeth
Bligh), and his daughter-in-law (now Countess of Darnley). The
next in procession, many in number, and of great respectability, were
the Noble Earl's tenantry, who were followed by several Magistrates
and other gentlemen of the neighbourhood; the procession dosed with
the menial servants of the deceased.
On Tuesday last, the Comer London and Bognor coach was apset at
Arundel by the breaking of the pole, by which accident one man a
(servant of the Earl of Arran) was and several other passen-
gers were very seriously injured.
A meeting of the inhabitants of the close borough of Stockbridge,
for the purpose of petitioning the legislature against the proposed re-
form bill, took place on Saturday last. A string of resolutions, re-
ceived that morning by the coach from London, was proposed and
adopted by the meeting, and a petition founded on them agreed to—
not, however, without considerable opposition, the non-contents insist-
ing that more time ought to be given to procure a fuller meeting,
and more ample expression of the opinion of the inhabitants'.
Mzenantcs' INSTITUTION.—A very interesting conversation on '
chemistry took place here on Monday evening, much to the satisfaction '
of a numerous and respectable company. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Samuel
Clarke took the principal part in it, and the latter exhibited a series of
ingenious and useful experiments. A very nutritious cake was pro-
duced, made for the occasion from a recipe some time since recom.
mended in the "' Monthly Gazette of Health," in consequence of •
prospect of a scarcity of corn, which appeared to suit the tastes of the
company, as it very soon disappeared, and many spoke highly in its
favour. We subjoin a list of the ingralients, with the method of
making it, viz.—Treacle, one pound; flour, three pounds and a half;
turmeric powder, two drachms ; caraway seeds, bruised, three ounces;
carbonate of soda, six drachms. First mix the powders well with the
flour; add the other articles with three pounds and a half of steamed or
boiled potatoes, well blended with five drachms and a half of muriatic
add, diluted with half a pint of water—form a proper consistence with
milk—knead it three minutes, and form it into a cake—put it within
the heat of the fire, covered with a wet cloth, for an hour, then put it
in the oven.

THE WESTERN 'lllllgS.
The opponents of the people under the cognomen of the " Ohl
Cause" men, met on Monday last, at the Hotel in this city, and its
their " last ditch" uttered a monody to their expiring cause. The
meeting would not allow their proceedings to be repotted. Wise
enough this. Since their meeting, another hole and corner petition,
we understand from placards on our city walls, has been attempted.
EAST DEVON MILITIA.—TiIe Ist or East Devon Regiment of
Militia have now been trained a few days more than out week only, in
the Barracks near this city ; ii consists of a fine body of young men ;
about five hundred are clothed and appointed; they move well tther,
march in line, wheel, form column and square, and, above metheir,
good conduct and cheerfulness, deserves the highest praise.
DasTeueritra Flan AT TetnemouTn.—On Tuesday evening,
about half-past nine o'clock, the New Inn, in the parish of West
Tsagoinouth, was discovered to be on file, and in consequence of a
strong wind from the S.E. and S.E. by E. it burnt with that rapidity
that raven other houses were destroyed with it, by the devouring flames.
—A house and cottage, the property of a Mr. Floyd, were ulso cone
sumed ; and the general belief is, that incendiarism was the cause
thereof.
A meeting in favour of Parliamentary Reform, was held at Brixham

John Hooper, 46, an exciseman at Barnstaple, was charged with en-
tering the house of E. 11. Brook, a brother exciseman at Barnstaple,
and stealing various monies to the amount of 891. The prosecutor and
his wife, it appeared, had gone out out about seven in the evening, of
the 23u Sept. last, to witness the humours of Barnstaple fair, bolting
heir bat.k door, and locking the front one ; that on return, they ob-

ere cel a light in the upstairs room, and that the fore-door was locked,
and a key' inside, they having locked it and taken the key with
them when they left home. Prosecutors went round to
back door and knocked. and shortly after, the bolt was withdrawn softly
and a man rushed out; the female pursued him, crying atop thief, and
never lost sight of him till he was taken, and then to her utter astonish-
ment she found it to be her neighbour and friend Mr. Hooper. Mr.
Cockburn appeared for the prosecution. Hem, Attorney, Mr. Stevens
and Mr. Crowder, for the defence, Furlong, Attorney. The sorer in
his defence, dwelt- on the improbability of a man in his of life
being p Why of such an offence, and stated that passing and hearing the
cry of stop thief, he had joined in the pursuit, and in the dark bad been
mistaken for the thief, who had escaped. Several very respectable wit.
messes gave the prisoner a good character, but the jury, after a abort
deliberation, found him guilty, and death was recorded against him.
SEDUCTIOI.—Capron v. Belmont. gent—Mr. /rent Wilde
stated the case on the part of the plaintiff. The plain kept a small
inn at Bampton ; he was the father of several children, the person
named in the record being his only daughter. The defendant was an
attorney residing at the same place. The action was brought to recover
compensation fot the loss of the service of the plaintiffs daughter, in
consequence of her having been debauched by the defendant, and hav-
ing had a child. The plaintiff had only one daughter, and the defend.
ant, being un attorney, he presumed him to have had an education su-
perior to the paintifE The defendant bad begun his career as an attor-
ney some years a.m. It was the first instance he had ever known,* ease
wherein a defendant,' a member of the profession, was in court to face
the witness box in which he was obliged to put the object of his lust.
The plaintiff's daughter was not seventeen years of age; before her
prospects had opcoed into light, the defendant had contrived to blast
them for ever. The defendant was 211 years old. He made offers of
marriage; the family thought she was too young, and disapproved
of it. He, however, continued his addresses. The defendant had one
morning asked the young woman, if be went down the town, to call at
his lodgings, as he had something to send to her father. She accord-
ingly called. He continued to detain her, and it ended in an illicit in-
tercourse. He afterwards contrived to amuse her with declarations of
marriage; took a house, about which he consulted her; at last, she
found he was about to be married to another. She eventually gave pre-
mature birth to a child. The defendant, not satisfied with the injury
he had inflicted on the family, had persecuted the father by going to his
house, and when told to go out, had said that it was an inn, and he had
a right to be there.—Mary Ann Capron was put into the box, and by
her testimony substantiated what had been stated by Mr. Sergeant
Wild; with the addition that the defendant had endeavoured to induce
her to take something to destroy the child; alto that when addressing
her on the subject of marriage, he had stated his profession to be worth
5001 a year. —The Jury, after a fcw minutes' consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff, damages 2001.

The Marquis of Worcester and Lord Granville Somerset were re-
ceived at Monmouth List week with violent displays of popular resent-
ment. They immediately got into their carriages and left the town.
Mr. Campbell, who had previously quitted the circuit, and gone to
London expressly to give the ministers his vote, was loudly applauded,
and succeeeded in quieting the people, and preventing the burning of
two effigies, by an excellent speech on reform and the abuse of power
by peers.
Subscriptions towards the relief of that portion of the Irish pea.
sentry, who are suffering under the honors of famine, are received by
the clergy of Cheltenham, and at the Bank.
It appears from the correspondence of the British and Foreign School
Society, that of 629 prisoners committed fur rioting in the counties of
Hants, Berk*, and Sussex, only 287 could read, only 76 could write,
and 268 were totally destitute of those slight rudiments of education.
On Wednesday evening the Judges of Amin arrived in Gloucester,
escorted with the usual ceremonies by the High Sheriff, Sr Thomas
Crawley, Boevey, Bart. and the Commission was opened in due form.

of nails, &c. from the shop of Betty Mitchell, of Tetbury ; and Josiah

SHAFTESBURY /UNCTION RIOT.—At Dorset Assize, last week,
not less than six-and-thirty persons were prosecuted for alleged tumultu-
ous proceedings at Shaftesbury, on the 2d of September last, at the
chairing of the successful candidate. It appeared by the evidence, that
on that occasion a great multitude assembled together, who threw stones
at Mt. Swyer, the Mayor, and other persons of the borough, who were
taking measures for die preservation of die peace. In the progress of the
tumult, the Mayor was knocked down, and his friends were pelted with
stones, and otherwise roughly treated. A large proportion of the defend
ants were found guilty, and sentenced to short periods of imprisonment,
&c. in the last case connected with this taildr, than. of The King
v. Rutter and eight others, it was arranged that all the defendants
should enter into recognizance' to keep the peace for twelve months,
with the exception of Mr. Rutter, who refused to accede to the arrange-
ment, thinking that such a proceeding might hereafter be brought for-
ward as a proof of his having actually committed the offence. He felt
also that it would be a false confession, and would lower him in the es-
timation of his friends, who were many and respectable, and especially
those who belonged to the same religious society as himself: and the
consequence would be, that he could no longer be considered a member
of the society of Friends. It was ultimately agreed, that the C.i5C of
Mr. Rutter should individually be made a remanct, fur the next assize.
Mr. Justice Park expressed his regret that so much of the time of the
Court had been occupied in these eases : he could have wished that the
prosecutor had made a selection of the worst offenders, rather than per-
petuate the excitement which has existed in the Borough, by bringing
I forward so many.
On Monday last, as a coach loaded inside and out with persons, wbo
had been attentlitig at Hereford Assizes as witnesses in the Leclilade-
bridge cause, was on its return from Gloucester to Cirencester, whilst
descending a bill, about three miles from the latter place, the pole
' broke, and the vehicle was completely turned over. There were seven.
teen or eighteen passengers, 'IA the consequences were truly dreadful.
One man was so shockingly hurt that he espited shortly afterwards,
and two others were so much injured that they now lie at Cirencester
in a hopeless state. Only two of the passengers escaped unhurt, one of
whom was an old man upwards of ninety years of age.
Requisitions are in progress of signature, calling upon the Hon.
Henry Moreiou to come forward for this county, as the colleague of
Sir B. W. Guise.
A supplementary indication by which the public may judge of the
state of opinion in this place upon the question of parliamentary re-
form, has been afforded by the corporation numerously assembled in
council on Wednesday last. A petition was proposed and read, con-
demning the bill now before the House of Coimnons, but admitting,
however, the great necessity that exists for reform. When the divi.
eion took place, thirty members voted for and thirty against the petition
being adopted, upon which our worthy chief magistrate, with that dig-
nity anti independence which has distinguished his mayoralty, rose from
his seat and walked to the ministerial side of the Chamber, and thus
decided the doubtful alternative in favour of the liberal party, amidst
the greatest applause.
GLOUCESTER ASO BERKELEY Caveat.—A general meeting of
the proprietors of this undertaking was held in Gloucester on Tuesday
and Wednesday last, George Talbot, Esq. in the chair, the result of
which must be highly gratifying to all who take an interest in the pros-
perity of this navigation. After considerable discussion, a plan was
unanimously agreed to, by which the various and conflicting interests in
the concern are equalized and consolidated.

WORCESTER HERALD.

The Second Annual Meeting of the Worcester Literary and Seim.
tific Institution was held on Friday evening, at the Rooms iu New.
street. The issues of books to the members during the year, amounted
to about 1600, and not a hook has been lost or materially injured. Mr.
W. Rill was elected president ; and Dr. Corbel was elected one of the
Vier Presidents.

One of those accidents which we have so frequently to relate, result.
ing from the incautious handling of fire arms, occurred at Bistsmorton,
in this county, on the cvtning of Friday last. The unfortunate victim
on this occasion was a girl named Maria Clissett, about 19 years of age.

About ten o'clock in the night of Friday last, as a coach which tra-
vels between Birmingham and Manchester war within a short distance
of Walsall, the horses took fright, and, in turning a corner at the
entrance of the town, the wheel was brought in contact with an iron
ctreby which the coach was hurled over with a frightful crash.
were many passengers at the time, several of whom metl
with considerable injury; but the most severe sufferer was Mr.
Wilkes, a clerk at the Birmingham establishment of Messes.
Kendall, of the Foregate-street, in this city, and son of Mb
Wilkes, in Britannia-square. Mr. Wilkes was sitting with ewe
of the Mr. Kendall? and the guard, at the hind part of the
coach, and sustained so serious a concussion of the brain, that he now
lies at Walsall in a state of extreme danger; Mr. Kendall was thrown
amongst the horses, and miraculously escaped unhurt, but the guard
had his arm broken in two places, and its feared be will have to un-
dergo amputation. The coachman was slightly bruised only, and the
inside passengers experienced no mischief. The coach, we understand,
was nearly shattered to pieces from the violence with which it was up.
set, and one of the horses bad a leg broken, and was obliged to be
mediately shot.
The members of the Worcester Political Union met on Monday last,
when an address to Col. Davies, and G. R. Robinson, Esq. the mem-
bers fee the city, wu agreed to, conveying the approval of the Union of
their having voted foe the second reading of the Reform Bill, and en.
quiring whether they would support the measure in all its details. A
resolution was likewise passed in commendation of the general parlia-
mentary conduct of the two honourable members, and signifying the dc.
termination of the Union to support them wheuera an election for the
city might take place.
The number of engines now on the Manchester railroad is sixteen.
The journeys with goods are invariably performed in an hour and a half.
The facilities afforded to commerce by the railways are strikingly ap-
parent from the fact that the entire cargo of an American, or other
vessel, laden with cotton, may arrive at Manchester within an hundred
minutes after being discharged.
At Bury St. Edmund's, on Tuesday, an old decrepit man, aged 77,
was tried ter slaying one of his companions, in the workhouse at
Monk's Soham, with a bill-book. He was convicted, and sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment. It appeared that these two creatures
disputed eery fiercely on the antiquity of their families; the prisoner
insisting that his was more ancient than that of the deceased, whilst the
latter, in his turn, maintained the superior antiquity of his line of an-
emia ! Strange as it may appear, this was the origin of their dis-
agreement, which terminated in the loss of life.
Tuesday, Henry Wilkins, convicted at the late Wilts Assize of hav-
ing set fire to a cottage at Shoddesden in the parish of Ludgershall,
was executed at Fiaherton. Fur several days after his trial, be perse-
vered in his declaration of innocence ; be was at length induced to con-
fess that his sentence was just, and that be was a guilty man.
A publican named Pilch, who keeps the Halbert Inn, at Ipswich,
was convicted of receiving, 'knowing them to be stolen, twenty combs of
malt and a pocket of as. The prisoner was sentenced to seven yews
transportation. Richard Koockulds anti Josiah Davison were convicted
of anon, on the premises of Mr. Ducker, of Swanton Abbey. Sen-
tence of death was passed on them.
Margaret Mackesey was found guilty at Limerick, on Wednesday,
of the murder of her mother-in-law. She *mkt' pregnancy; but ad-
mitted she was not " quick with child." The Judge said that preg-

other two into a shed, and took them Into custody. The prosecutor re-
ceived a sovereign the neat morning to compensate him for his loss,
