T 1 —Sir Robert Peel,- whatever have been his 11,i:i-
tal.-, tote, the general tendencies and characteristics of the
liefor it bill, near claim at least the merit of having dis-
covered a new scale whereby to atijost the elective rights of
the kin'nlnm. While von* hon. oentletuen were contending
for thourinciple of propertt , some for that of population, a
third e:0...4 for 'Fast of intelligence, as indicated by combine.
'inns of the other two, it was kit for the right hen. baronet to
find cm the geographical—or, to speak in every sense more
correctly -the superficial principle of representation. Sir
Robert draws a line from east and by north, to west, and
by south, from the Wash to she Severn. He then com-
plains that the portion of England northward of that finches
carried off too many in, mbers of parliament, and left too few
fur the southern division of the island. He takes, first, some.
thing like a parallel of latitude, then reckons op a number
of onlllinsi subdivi..ior.s. called counties. on either side of the
aforesaid parallel, and finishes by exclaiming how unequally
have you allotted the amount of elusape between these two
measurements of the country ! We think that it would not
he diffieult to suggest a familiar illustration of the right hon.
I.47l.llit`t'S theory. Snrpose we take 40 square miles upon
Falistury.plain, and then multiplying 4 miles into 5, which
naig'.t perhaps embrace the area of this great metropolis,
err out. what a monstrous injustice has been perpetrated
ordkr the bill ; why here is 20 square miles have 12 or 14
1.-presentatives,l while 49 square miles have none at all !
It is not necessary, to the justice of our remark upon the
.reiple" which Si: Hobert Peel has adopted, or rather
n'eit-i lie pressed into the service of a single night, that we
losist on every county south of his line of donates.
tier iieing no better twitted to representatives than so many
r•qt:Lre Imes of Salisbury plain ; but we do affilm, that his
rtt...enec to mere superficial measurement, and to mere
oomimil divisions of land, would bear out such a similitude,
had be even left the question on tlrit simple footim3.
POST.—It is said triumphantly how can the Whip,
whom we allege to be precipitating the country into a re-
yolution, wish to delude the radicals, whom all the world
el.arges with being favourable to revolution ? The radical,'
00 net disguise that they look for changes such as every one
II it themselves would call revolution—the Whigs we do
not believe to be really desirous of such changes ; but
we maintain that In the desperation of party spirit they
arc doing what in spite of themselves will ultimately
produce revolution ; and in this they deal treache-
rously with the Radicals, inasmuch as they pretend to be
tor them and for the people, while in truth they are only for
their party, for power, and for place. This is treachery and
selfish despotism. In the eagerness to have sway, which no
party exercises with such domineering tyranny as the Whigs,
in the appetite for the emoluments of office, which they can
only hold while the people's reason is blinded by excitement
—they try to cajole the Radicals and obtain their assistance,
though they hate them as much as 'men can hate anything
which they also despise. We have no wish whatever to
flatter or decoy" the Radical party. We think they are
/calms in a bad cause, but honestly zealous. The zeal of
IVhigs we do not believe to be attended by any such pal.
liative.

POST.—We doubt whether the zealots for the bill will
be able by their utmost efforts to excite any considerable cla-
mour in the country in favour of precipitation. We rather
wish at the same time that they may succeed so far as to
have a few petitions got up, calling upon the House "to
stifle discimsion," from the livery of London and the other
electoral bodies who have sent delegates to the House of
Cmunons instead of representatives. Such petitions would
be instructive ass presage of the treatment the House may
e'pect when it is composed wholly of delegates, and the
tratiner of their reception in the present House of Co^imons
would be still more so, as a seasonable indication of the de.
glee in which a future Housa of Commons, exclusively de.
r ccratical, will be disposed and enabled to maintain it,
dignity and independence, and efficiency as a deliberative
assembly of legislators. We trust the petitions for which
tile advocates of the bill so urgently call will be sufficiently
precise and definite in their demands. Vague generalities
upon retch a subject would manifestly be useless. The pe-
n:toners, of course, therefore, will not fail to specify by
name the individual members whom it is their pleasure that
the house shall silence by its collective authority.
HERALD.—We would earnestly caution government
against the injustice and the danger of any longer postponing
the important question of making some permanent provision
for employing and maintaining the poor of Ireland. We are
not at all unconscious of the laborious and harassing duties
which the members of the administration have to perform at
t'i is moment connected with the all-absorbing question of re.
fteim—rendered doubly hartassing as it is by the factious spirit
with which they are opposed; but, making every allowance for
this, we can see no adequate reason for postponing a subject
which presses with such increasing melancholy earnestness both
upon England as well as Ireland. Next to the commisera-
tion which is due to the Irish labourer, driven as he is from
his own country to seek a precarious subsistence in another,
is the sense which we ought to feel for the English labourer,
who is impoverished in his own market by the overwhelming
hordes of these blameless and unavoidable intruders. The
pressure upon the English poor-rates too on this account is in-
calculable; for not only are they expended to a large amount
in the metropolis and other large places in the actual relief and
removal of the Irish poor themselves, but in every town and vil.
lige, both in England and Scotland, are the native population
rendered doublyburdensome,by being deprived of their natural
means of subsistence by the cause we allude to. Government,
we trust, is not unaware that this last topic is at this very
moment a source of the most serious heart-burnings among
the Enlish husbandry labourers in many parts of the king.
'l4m, hut especially in the counties which were last winter
the scene of the melancholy tragedies which we all then
win:cased. We aumot quit the subject without remarking
that there seems to be a disposition on the part of Govern.
n.cnt to imagine, that discussing the subject will be suffi-
cient—that a day shall be set apart for its discussion. This
is only a sample of one of the errors of this talking age, in
which every thing is di,eursed and nothing done. What is
wanted is a practical measure emanating from Government—
rot a mere Indian " talk." Commend us to the Statesman
who can act as well as talk : and who does not think that the
affairs of a great nation like this cm be carried on through
tine medium of a war of words. _ _

'i't NIES.—We never had a doubt respecting the Lonl
Cowin:Hoes power to commit for such a contempt of Court
as Mr. Wellesley had exhibited. The Coalmine of the
House of Commons, which showed some hesitation on the
subject, have at length decided against the ►upposed exemp-
tion of a member of parliament; and the Lord Chancellor
yesterday, in a very luminous judgment, has set the matter
at rest as a point of law. The question of the actual power
of the Court being thus settled, it may, ar.d no doubt will,
become a matter of legislative consideration, whether the
courts of law ought to possess this atbolute authority, or
. whether some mode of enforcing obedience, less obnoxious
than a peremptory command of a judge, may not be found
to be equally efficacious.
It has been suggested that their Majesties should
pass over London-bridge on Monday in a splendid
car, so elevated as to afford a full view of its il-
lustrious occupants to the crowds assembled on the
river.

On Tuesday Mr. Hobbouse and Sir F. Burdett
obtained leave to bring in a Bill " for the better regulation
of Parish restries"—a motion in which Sir. Hobhouse
fsikd on Monday, oa ing to Sir T. Fremantle haring threat-
ened to count out the House.

Sir 3.4 aims NIACK INTOSH, himself a metaphy-
sical politician, has given the following lucid view
of the follies uf Political Economy, by which for
some years past credulity has been so abused :
" I shall labour above all things," be says, " to
avoid that which appears to me to have been the
constant source of political error. I mean the at-
tempt to give an air of system, of simplicity, and
of rigorous demonstration, to subjects which do
not admit of it. The causes which the politician
has to consider are, above all others, multiplied,
mutable, minute, subtile, and if I may so speak,
evanescent : perpetually changing their form and
varying their combination'; losing their nature
while they keep their name ; exhibiting the most
different consequences in the endless variety of
men and nations on whom they operate; in one
degree of strength producing the most signal be-
nefit,and under a slight variation of circumstances,
the most tremendous mischief. They admit,indeed,
of being reduced to theory, but to a theorylormed
on the most extensive views, of the most com-
prehensive and flexible principles ; a theory, of
%Lich the most fundamental maxim is distrust in
itself, and deference for practical prudence."

As a great many misrepresentations have been made on
the subject of the barracks being occupied with voters at
the late election, we have made inquiry Into the facts, and
the following is the result. At former elections a great dif.
ficulty always occurred from the polled and unrolled voters
mixing together, and it was therefore thought advisable, If
a place could be obtained at a distance from the polling
booth, to separate them. The public-house within the bar.
rack walls was taken for the purpose, and the landlord not
having sufficient room, borrowed some rooms in the bar.
racks, there being no soldiers there at the time; and another
reason for taking the above was keeping the contending par.
ties at a distance from each other.

HUNTINGDON, JULY 17.—During my ride yesterday
from Bedford to this town (says a correspondent of the Times
of rue/4v), I frequently alighted for the purpose of
closely examining the state of the crops, and I have the
satisfaction of being able to give a most favourable re.
port. When I was here three weeks ago, there appeared
to me to be every prospect, from the rankness and dark
colour of the blade, of a considerable deal of mildew among
the wheats, and as that was the important season of blos-
soming, serious fears were entertained for the crop, which
were greatly increased by the prevalence of cold northerly
and easterly winds at the time. It is well said, however,
that no weather will kill wheat, and it has now passed through
the critical season, as far as my observation has extendel,
unhurt. The spring wheats, indeed, were retarded by the
'cold nights of May, but they too have recovered. and there
Is now every appearance of an abundant and early harvest.
The storms of the past week have, it is true, In many in.
stances, laid both the wheat and the barley, but in these
instances the crop is very heavy and fine, and this cer-
tainly compensates the farmer for any little injury which
the sample may sustain from their being laid.
CAIIBIUDGR AllatEES.-00011110DY V. FOSTall.—The
plaintiff is a drover and cattle salesman living at Ely.
defendants are bankers, of this town. The action was
brought to recover a sum of 2001. which the plaintiff alleged
to be the balance of his banking account kept by the defend.
ants. The main question between the parties was, " whe-
ther the plaintiff had paid into the bank of the defendants,on
the 11th of August, 1829, the sum of 2001. in cash ?" On
the Ist of August, 1829, the plaintiff, being in Cambridge,
paid Into the bank 2001. by a check, Layton on Matlock,
which was duly entered by the clerk who received it into
the pass-book. On the 11th of the same month, the plaintiff
having received 1901. paid into the defendants' bank, to the
credit of his account, a further sum of 2001. for which (not
having at that time his pass-book with him) he took the
usual " accountable receipt" of the clerk of the defendant.
In the ordinary course of things, the clerks at the bank
ought to have posted the second sum of 2001 in the" pass-
book," when next it came into their hands ; but this had
never been done. A few weeks after the transaction of the

11th of August, the plaintiff's clerk died, haring been ill
since the Bth of that month; on his death a new clerk was
taken by the plaintiff, and, on looking over the papers of his
predecessor, the new clerk discovered that the 2001. paid in
on the 11th of August had never been entered in the " pass.
book." He accordingly wrote in pencil, under that date in
that book, 4. Error, 2001. omitted;" but this was rubbed
out when it was sent to the bank, and the error was in fact
never rectified.

Mr. Kelly addressed the jury for the defendants. This
action was resisted, because his clients in their conscience
felt persuaded that, in point of fact, only one sum of 2001.
ever was paid into their bank by the plaintiff, and that on
the Ist of August. At that time, the plaintiff certainly paid
in that sum, which was duly entered in his pass book. The
course of business was, that when the money was paid in by
a customer, it was entered immediately by the clerk receiv-
ing it in the waste book ; thence copied into the ledger, and
from that into the cash book ; and on each night the several
sums received by each cletk were accounted for, a balance
struck, and if any sum were received and not entered into the
books, the mistake would be immediately discovered by the
fact of there being a surplus in the drawer appropriated to
the clerk receiving the sum. It not unfrequently happened
that the plaintiff was in too great a hurry, when he paid in
money, to wait for the accountable receipt, and he therefore
took it when be next called at the bank, which would account
for the receipt, in this instance, being dated the 11th, though
for money paid in on the Ist. On the Ilth, no sum of 2001. was
received of the plaintiff; and on the evening of that day no
surplus was found (as it would have been had it been re-
ceived, and not entered in any one of the books of 2001. but
on the contrary, the books with the balance struck,
with the exception of about ;fit was clear, therefore, that
no such sum had been received. No intimation was given
by the plaintiff of the error for many months after it was
alleged to have occurred. Mr. Gunning, the attorney for
the plaintiff, had an interview with the Messrs.l Foster, and
their books were inspected by him. With respect to the
claim for interest, it would be shown that it was the usual
course for bankers to charge five per cent. interest, on all
sums paid to an overdrawn account, from the day of the date
of the checks, and not merely from the time when they were
paid ; and the charge of the defendants was, therefore, in
this respect, perfectly fair and legal.
Lerd Lyndhurst summed up, leaving the question of
fact, 1' whether or not the sum of 2001. vas paid by the
plaintiff into the bank on the I lth of August," entirely for
the decision of the jury. Resting the sum in dispute,
the learned judge was clearly of opinion that bankers are en.
tilled in law to charge interest only from the time when they
actually pay the checks, and not from the day they bear date
—a very important and universally.interesting decision. If
there were such a custom amongst bankers as that contended
for by the defendants, to charge from the date and not from
the payment of the checks, his lordship told the jury that
in his opinion it would be illegal and void. The Jury
found for the plaintiff for the whole 2001, together with
the difference of interest between that due from the pay-
ment. and the charge from the date of the check.

WESTERN LUMINARY, July 96.
Judge Alderson, in his cbsrp to the Grand Jury, touched
on the following polemical subjects : There was also another
topic to which he would avert, and that related to
a contagion of a different nature. Noes could cur.
sorily have observed the state of society, without
noticing the rage for instruction which eaisted—and which

may in its course, resemble either the mighty tenant de•
luging and destroying whatever it met with in its progress,
or the gentle stream, assisting vegetation on its banks. It
was, therefore, the duty of the aristocracy of the country, to
direct the streams of education into the right channel, by
promulgating those doctrines which would lead to content-
ment, and direct the energies of men to laudable pursuits
here, while it pointed him to the path leading to eternal
'anthem
It also became the duty of those whom his Lordship was
addressing, to render their assistance in putting down those
publications which were making such way in the present
day. and which were of a seditious tendency, It was easy
for the man who robbed his neighbour to restore to him that
of which he had deprived him, but a man that injured ano-
ther by seditious writing had no further centres' over the
operations of the injury he had committed. and the act of a
minute was rendered incapable of ever being recalled.
EZETEa RACES.—The attendance of many of our neigh.
bouring gentry being required in town on more weighty af-
fairs,
and the circumstance of the fair falling the same day
as the races, caused the Down to exhibit a duller appearance
than we recollect on any previous occasion to have witneued.
With the exception of the race for the sweepstakes of 25
sovereigns on the first day, the running was of very second
tae order, and but little interest excited.
One of the " easy virtue" ladies of this city, on Wednes.
day se'nnight, paid the fine of five shillings, for getting ra-
ther tipsy, by sporting her figure in the stocks a couple of
hours. Such exhibitions are insults to common decency ;
we think some punishment less calculated to harden the of.
fender, might be substituted in its stead. A female thus
exposed, however depraved she might previously have been
is not likely to mend by her being rendered an object of
public scorn fur two hours.
The Lord Bishop of Exeter has signified his intention to
hold a confirmation at Scilly, in the end of August, or the
beginning of September. This desirable occurrence will be
without a parallel, no native of Scilly having ever had an
opportunity of enjoying that rite of Christianity on his own
soil. The scene is expected to be extremely interest-
ing, from the number and peculiar circumstances of the
candidates.

The Torbay Regatta, on the lbth, proved one of the
most attractive ever known, ;in the great assemblage of
company and numeroes attendance of the yachts. The
ball in the evening at Torquay, was numerously and fashion.
ably attended.
The Teignmouth Regatta, from the great influx of visitors
now visiting that delightful watering place, bids fair to be
well attended ; and a brilliant aseemblage is anticipated at
the Ball in the evening.
The Waterloo schooner, sailed from Teignmouth, on the
28th of June last, for Randstone Bay, County Galway,
laden with 100 tons of potatoes, for the suffering Irish.
They were distributed in a parish which contained 8000
persons in a state of absolute starvation.
WITTY'S PATENT GAS Fua,eacz.—We bad occa-
sion the other day to inspect one of these Furnaces
lately erected in Mr. Dymond's Gardens, adjoining
the Oakhampton road, for the purpose of diffusing beat
through his hot-houses ; and were much struck with the in.
genuity and efficacy of the apparatus. It is founded on the
modern discoveries in chemistry; and forms so beautiful an
instance of the application of scientific principles to the use-
ful arts, that we shall attempt to give our readers an idea of
It. Coal, even when dry, if submitted to distillation, or (in
other words) exposed to great heat, emits a large quantity
of aqueous vapour, and inflammable gas, and becomes coke,
which consists (when the coal is pure) almost entirely of
carbonaceous matter. In this apparatus, the coal is placed
in an open-ended retort, forming an inclined plane, and
terminated by a furnace grate, the fire in which is sup-
ported by air admitted through the bars below. The
coal, while it lies on the under surface of the retort, and
before It reaches the grate, undergoes a dry distillation;
and the steam and gas which are thus expelled, occupy the
space above the coal. At the same time, part of the coal
which has already undergone this process, and, in the shape
of coke, has reached the grate, is burning; and the air
which passes through this coke fire, heated to a very high
temperature, sweeps over the surface of the unburnt coal in
the retort, and inflames all the gas as it is evolved. Thus,
the whole gaseous matters evolved from the coal, are con-
vened by combustion into aqueous vapour, and, along with
the steam also evolved from the coal, are carried off through
the Burs which communicate with the retort, diffusing heat
wherever it is required, without being accompanied with a
single particle of smoke,—or in other welds, without a
single particle of the coal being suffered to escape uncom.
sutned. From this description of the process, its immense
advantages mug be apparent. The total consumption of
the coal bas been found by experience to produce a saving
in fuel to the extent of thirty per cent. From the vapour
which passes through the flues being unmixed with impure
or deleterious matter, it will not affect the health of the
most delicate hothouse plants; and a similar consideration
makes it infinitely preferable to any of the ordinary me-
thods of diffusing heat through churches and other build-
ings.
The Fair on Wednesday last was numerously supplied with
cattle of every description, but sales were particularly dal.
Fat bollocks sold at from lis. to 9s. per scorer lean at from
bs. 6d. to Os. The show of cows and calves was but poor,

a.good supply, and prices may be quoted at from bd. to
