COICCLUSIOIf O.

. That the period forintroducing the rations!
system for remodelling the character of man, and
for governing the population of the earth, in unity,
peace, progressive improvement, end happiness, is
near at hand ; end that no human power can re-
sist the change.
2. That the governments of the world will sodn
be compelled, in their own defence, to adopt this
superior system ; to prevent their being involved
in factions, anarchy, war, and ruin.
3. That this change will root up and utterly
destroy the old vicious and miserable system of
ignorance and poverty; individual competition and
contest ; and of national wars throughout the
world ; and introduce, in place thereof, the
rational System of Society, in which competition,
strife, and wars, will cease for ever, and all will
be trained, from infancy, solely to promote each
other's happiness.
4. That this system can he best commenced, by
convincing government of the truth of the princi.
pies on which it is founded. There must be also a
sufficient number of individuals imbued .with its
spirit of genuine, aunty, affection, and philan-
thropy, and instructed in the best mode of applying
it to practice ; they must likewise possess patience
and perseverance to overcome all the obstacles
which prejudice will oppose to their progress ; and
above all, they must be united, have full confidence
in each other, and be directed by one heart and
one mind.

5. Under the past and present irrational system
of the world, devised in opposition to Nature, 19
out of 20, or perhaps, more truly, 99 out of 100,
of the external circumstances formed by man
around society, are of an inferior and vicious cha- '
racter ; but under the Rational System of Society
now proposed to be formed in accordance with
Nature, all the circumstances under human con-
trol, will be of a superior and virtuous character.
6. Under the existing religions, political, com-
mercial, and domestic arrangements of Great
Britain, 250 individuals cannot be supported
in comfort on a square mile of land, while under
the proposed System, with much less labour and
capital than nre now employed, 500 may be im-
mediately supported in abundance, and in a few
years after the new arrangements shall have been
matured, 1000, 1500, and probably, without any
additional new discoveries, 2000 individuals may
be so supported upon every square mile of an ave-
rage quality of soil. Such is the difference be-
tween a Rational System formed in accordance
with Nature, and one founded in opposition to it.

The inhabitants of the ward of Portsoken meet
on Tuesday (to-morrow) morning, to take into con-
sideration all circumstances relative to the nightly
watch of the Ward, with a view to remedy any in-
convenience that may arise for want of a watch

of his letters to the Lord Mayor to the meeting.
The question is truth and liberality versus canting

The new university advertises for professors of
surgery and mathematics, but we learn that, after
the late schisms, there is great hesitation, in the

Ministers announce various plans when the re-
form bill is carried, but let us hope the initiative in
measures for the public good will not then, as of

ever they may be.

in year 1792 they sunk large ships to obstruct the

productions, but has always been violently op-
posed by Holland, and her interested views have
been too often maintained by England.
Pat sox FRACAS.—The Marshal of the King's
Bencl. Prison, officers, and turnkeys, have lately
taken great offence at strictures made by Mr. Car-
penter on impropriety and injustice in that prison.
It appears that in the last two numbers of " The
Political Letter," articles have appeared reflecting
upon the' Marshal for permitting certain pecula-
tions (on the part of officers connected with the
prison) to take place ; and that on Saturday morn-
ing Mr. Carpenter suspended from the win-
dow of the room in which he is confined,
a large placard, the contents of his paper ;
among which appeared the following announcement
—A Peep into the King's Bench—the chumming
system.—As the bills o f every other Sunday paper are
permitted to be exhibited to the various persons
within the whlls, who read newspapers, a dead set
was in this case made at Mr. C. Accordingly, on
Saturday morning, the Marshal, accompanied by
two or three officers, appeared beneath the window
of Mr. Carpenter's room, and called out to him,
" Ceme down." Mr. Carpenter obeyed, when the
following dialogue ensued : Marshal—Take down
that hoard from under your window, sir.—Carpen-
ter : I cannot do so, certainly.—Marshal : I say,
take down that board.—Carpenter: I should be
glad to know, Sir, by what rule of Court you are
justified in making such a demand.—Marshal
(with great vehemence and violent action.)—
I care for no rule of Court, Sir ;
commit you to the strong room. Carpenter—
Commit me to the strong room ! I deny your au-
tho:ity, sir, so to do; and 1 defy you to carry
your threat into execution. Upon this the Marshal,
after giving some instructions, left that part of the
prison, and Mr. Carpenter retired to his room; where
he bad not been above ten minutes before two of
the officers of the Marshal entered, and forcibly
carried off the board upon which was posted the ob-
noxious placard.
A formidable snake was killed on Crimson Hill,

At the Lincoln Arabes, a verdict of guilty was recorded
against s Mr. Bentoft, for having published at Boston in a
work called the " Pink," a libel on the Rev. Matthew
Robinson, charging him with criminal conduct. At the

the Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to
be transported for life.

THE CORNUBIAN, Aug. 5.
Cauttaxost.--The labourers of this and the adjoining
Iparishes have been actively employed during the latter pert
of the past and the passing week, in cutting the wheat on
Golbertion Down in South-Hill, near Callington. The ex.
tent of this beautiful common is about 200 acres and has
been cultivated by the farmers having right of pasturage,
according to their respective shares, the produce of which is
most abundant and confidently expected to average from 16
to 18 bushels per acre. The sample is of the finest des.
aiption.

iwatur or NAUTICAL BCEII—As the Iloniton packet
was leaving a port In Males, on her voyage to Lyme, the
master perceived a swami cribees settle on a rock which the
rising tide would soon have covered. He sent a boat with
a tub which was sugared for the purpose, and took the bees
to, and brought them aboard. They took up with their new
habitation, began to work, and, on removing them to the
hive at Lyme Cobb, it was perceived that they had com-
menead a comb. During the voyage they flew ashore for
'honey, and followed the vessel again, which was, at times,
sailing with a strong breeze.

We believe there exists a good deal of misconception in
this county with regard to the crops. The wheats will not
furnish any thing near a fair average crop. Nothing, how.
aver, could have been finer than the appearance about 3 weeks
mina, the farmer might then have anticipated an abundant
harvest, but in many Mennen the reality will be a severe loss.
The mildew has suddenly attacked the wheats, and tito
it was conjectured that it came too late to 'do any mat I
damage, yet in many parts the result has been that awn
of promising wheat are only saleable as hen's meat. its
Cambridgeshire a large number of acres have been cut end
carried in the yards for fodder. We have, however, area
some exceptions to the general unfavourable nature of the
amps. In the vicinity of Clacton and Wattle there are fame

DUMFRIES COURIER, Aug. 2.
During the severe thunder-storm of the 14th ult. the
chimney of a house in Templand, Lochmaben, was struck,
with lightning, and split, seamed, and shattered, as well as
the gable, in a singular manner. The whole dwelling was
convulsed from end to end, and filled with a dense cloud of
smoke. Though nothing could be seen, the furniture moved
as if suddenly bewitched or endowed with the power of loco-
motion ; the dresser-drawen, and the eupisoard-door opened
unbidden, and strewed their contents on the floor; and what
is still more strange, a girl resting on two chairs, was pushed
from the bed-aide to the centre of the house. The doors of
the wooden beds were also thrown open, and in one of them
where a child happened to be at rest, the pillow was conjured
from the head it supported, and thrown on the floor, while
the slumberer remained in the same position. The top of
an eight.day clock was blown off, and the ease otherwise in.
jured. In descending the vent the lightning had diverged
into various subtle branches, perhaps frum coming in con-
tact with the pot-crook or sway. One of these struck the
right jamb, rebounded, pierced the wall, and killed a milk cow
in a byre behind. Another portion, after playing all the freaks
already mentioned, ran along the wall, found its way out, and
killed a poor swine (the only one in the stye) On an opposite
direction. In its passage it touched the font of a boy. and
with the subtasy of light, glided. between his shoe and the
sole of his foot. The little fellow, smarting under the sen-
sation of heat, roared out that his foot was burnt, and al.
though he sustained no real injury, when his mother lifted or
took off his shoe, it was so hot that she could not hold it in
her hand. On the left the lightning also struck the jamb,
where the girl was seated with a dog, whose head rested on
her knees ; other persons were at hand ; yet though the first
dog, and another lying about a yard beyond, were both
struck dead, no fewer than 9 human beings escaped unscathed.
The girl was stupified and rendered insensible, but she spee-
dily recovered. Of twenty-four panes of glass in the kitchen
window not one remained, and the apartment, when the
smoke cleared away, was so annpletely metamorphosed by
the shifting of the furniture, that the ownses might have
yielded to the impression that the place had best ehressed, or
that themselves had been spirited away to another quartet.
Two bullocks were killed at Hillside, a cow at Applegarth,
and a dog in a cottage near Whitsun-hill. In the some cot-
tage a child was thrown from its nurse's arms, and some.
what injured. Mr. Stewart's cattle had taken shelter from
the storm under a row of beeches, and there it is believed
the same bolt proved fatal to both, by entering and paring
through the body of the one into dun of the other. The sca-
rified mark on the shoulder of the first bullock was six
inches in diameter where the lightning entered ; and exactly
the half, or In other words, three inches at the point where
it mcaped ; and what is very singular, the same thing holds
good of the shoulder of the second. After narrowing, in
escaping, the diameter of the first wound, that it should have
made another of the original size, and again natrowed that in
a similar manner, cannot have been accidental. It is often
said that the bones of animals struck by lightning are ren.
I tlered exceedingly soft and flexible, but the reverse appeared
in the ease of 3lr. Stewaa'a cattle.
