DR. TRUSL El?)

TO T. IIF.:EDiTOR OF. THE STAR.
SlR—Your continual exertions in the cause of
suffering humanity, and yeur almost daily efforts in
devising and recommending plans to relieve the dis-
nesses of the people, cannot but be applauded by
all the Readers of your well-conducted ,ions nal; I
am one of those : and one of the 'community whose
labours, I flatter myself not the least, have been
directed fur the. public good f(ir more than sixty
s ears (being now at the age of eighty-five), and have
been well received. The great cry and discontent
now, arises from taxes, dearness of provisions, and
want of employ among the poor; and the leaders of
Government arc so much at a loss how to remedy
these evils, that they have consented to, and even
aided the people to emigrate and quit the Kingdom.
This is a mistaken policy. Poptlation cannot be an
tail to ally State under good regulations. The wealth
o. a Nation rises in proportion to its abundant popu-
lation, as it is in the labours of a people that the
tidies of a country consist. To send the people out
of the country, to colonize another place, though
.aithin our own dominions. is serving that colony at
the expense of the mother country. It is the inte-
lest of a State to -keep the people at home, but in
doing this we must feed and employ them. It is
our interest, if possible, to increase our population,
rather than decrease it ; and this is to be done by
increasing cultivation, breaking up our waste lands,
and making them productive. It is a vulgar saying,
:hat " GOD never sends mouths but he sends meat,"
And vice versa, never sends meat but he sends mouths
al eat it. PRCVIDENDE keeps up an equilibrium in
Yattile, and it is the fault of man if he dues not
arbfo by it.
I was an experimental farmer many years, and the
, \ oild ha., reaped the benefit of it in my Practical
llastandry. Since the last edition of this work,
lig since out of print, I have discovered. that the
'tiali price of provisions is owing to the ignorance
.ant obstinacy of farmers, who do not make the most
f their c.;; n-crops. They go on, age after age, in
an old mill-horse track, and nothing can beat them
cut of'it ; satisfied if they can get a tolerable living,
:hough-at the increased expense of the people whom
:hey are destined to feed. They made it appear, by
evidence before a Committee of the House of Com-
, mons, that tarrners co :Id not live, unless with the
aresent rents they could sell their wheat at ten slid-
- I;aas a bushel ; for that if an acre of wheat pro-
duced five per cent. that it averaged ten pounds, the
• exaenses on that ten gourds \vete seven, and left a
i root of only three ; and this on 200 acres, a mode-
rate sized farm, was hat '260(1, barely sufficient to
answer their capital, and make a decent provision
for their families, in these expensive times; brought
• on, as I shall ~hera, by their own bad management.
Their system is wrong. Therare now studying to
obtain an Act of Parliament to shut the ports against
importations of grain, because wheat is under ten
shillings a bushel. lint perhaps I shall surprize them
by declaring, that by a new management of a wheat
crop, never practised, or perhaps thought of before,-
instead of ten pounds an acre produce, it will pro-
.; duce thirty pounds, without impoverishing the land,
and this year after year in succession ; thus pro-
ducing fifteen per cent. instead of five, and enabling
them to sell their wheat so low as two shillings a
. bushel instead of ten, and reducing the quaatern loaf
.to fourpence instead of tenpence, the present price.;
and that, by the same management, other corn crops,
viz. barley and oats, may be lowered in equal pro-
portions, which, being the feed of horses, phis, poul-
• try, &c. and the basis of malt, must, if carried into
• ' general practice, reduce the price of these animals,
at and also the price of beer. Add to this, by the new
• management I propose and mean to lay before them,
theie will be abundance of spring feed for . cattle,
- sheep, &c. at a season when turnips are sour, and
such teed is much wanted ; and this will also add to
the general reduction of food. I am no visionary
nor castle-builder, 1 regard my character, and I
pledge it to the truth of these assertions ; and though
.!, too long to insert in the present letter, I promise to
make the Public acquainted with the experiments I
t
'. made, that brought me to these conclusions, con-
'-: vinced they will find them neither fallacious nor
a‘
so deceptive.
• Great farms have been considered as great evils,
and the cause of the dearness of pig-mutt, ducks,
P. 4 geese, eggs,. &c. which little farmers were accus-
e: tamed to supply the markets with, not worth the
•as notice of the more opulent ones. But, by my new
.:: system, a man with fifty acres of land and a small
4 capital, may live well ; for if one acre will net a
•ai profit of only £lO, fifty acres, averaged, will net
• • him £5OO a-year. But this is not all. By the in-
. troduction of spade tillage, I have found that it
increases a crop six or eight bushels in twenty, and,
e: keeps the- ground in better heart : this must also
tend to reduce and keep down the price of provi-
visions, and at the same time employ the poor. i
7 Many have been the statements that you have in-
, seated in your Journal, from Correspondents, on the
advantages of this mode of tillage. I wanted to'
'1 ti v it on the wheat plant, from finding that digging
i • •
. inund a cabbage three or four times, during its
,'t erowth, increased its size considerably ; and it leads
. me to say, sowing wheat in drills or clusters, both
Y which I have tried, with hoeing between the rows,
'i and hand-hoeing in the rows, more than sixty
-IL bushels of wheat will be produced, where, in the
a common present mode, we have only twenty. I am
~ jastitied, therefore, in saying, and which I shall prove
I. past contradiction, that all crops may be increased
• tali-thirds by the means I propose, and that it will
a ,
;j be the interest of every farmer to adopt it. It will
enrich him, employ the poor, add to the happiness
ai of the people, and banish discontent. I have seat
at papers to this effect to the different Agricultural
, Z.:ncieticc, and trust they will recommend it. Parm-
a ors may try my plan on a small scale, and, if they
It tind it answer, :adopt it generally.
• from my knowledge of the animal economy, it
i, evi-,ient to me that a cow, by a different treatment,
H,ay be made to produce one-third more milk than
sane does. This I submitted some years since to the
`•
.•,:-_.*‘!v of Arts, Bce. and received their public thanks
q ;al the same. Was this generally attended to, a
M tit a• v-harm of twenty cows would produce the profit
Of ;i:irly cows, with less capital and less extent of
it Lind ; and milk, butter, and cheese, be reduced me-
al Cara in price. But I have said enough at once, not

THE ARMY.

The finding of the Court Martial, lately held on
Ensign BLACKWELL, of the 25th Regiment, has not
been approved of by his- MAJESTY ; and he has been
only sentenced to be reprimanded, which was ac-
cordingly read in the usual manner, on Parade, at
the Barracks of Cork, on the 29th ult.
During the last week, different detachments of the
4.oth regiment have marched into Sunderland Bar-
, racks, from Carlisle, &c.
Two companies of Cl* 33d regiment have marched
' for Tynernouth, fi on' Durham, and two remain in
that city, till further orders. This regiment has two
hands, one composed of all the usual military instru-
ments, and the other entirely of bugles. The novelty
and martial sweetness of the latter have drawn many
persons each day towards the Waterloo Inn, Durham,
in front of which the bands play morning and evening.

We are happy to state that the death of the Right

lion. HENRYGRATTAN has been contradicted, by the
Paper (Dublin Patriot) in which the report originated.

Si; VICARY GIBBS, late Chief-Justice of the Com-
mon Pleas, died yesterday morning, at his house in.
Russell-square. He has long been in a declining
state of health.

The Morning Herald has the following strong and
convincing observations, on the case which occurred,
in the Court of King's Bench, on the motion of Mr..
HENRY HUNT : -

" The application made by Mr. Hu3er was, that his trial for a
conspiracy should be removed from Lancaster to London, or
Westminster, on the ground that he could not have a fair trial in
the fernier place. The Court asked, whether the other persons
indicted concurred in the application ?—This did not appear, and
the application was refused on the strength of a ride e practice,
established by the Court, that all the persons indicted must con-
cur, or else the application could not be received by the Court.
—Taii rule of the Court of King's Bench excited a strong sen-
sation in the case of Lord Coo/Rant. After his conviction In
the noted Stock Exchange affair, he applied to the Court of
King's Bench for a new trial, which, on the authority of this
rule, was refused. Its validity and effects were at •lhat tine
freely canvassed in the House of Commons. The following was
the ground upon which the then Arcoarixv-Gasesat defended
it 3 wisdom and expediency :
'lle rule of Court alluded to was,' he said, ' i►: founded
on the principle, that if several persons were convicted of a con-
spiracy, and one, probably the least implicated, were, on coming
into Court, to apply for and obtain a new trial, all the rest would
be entitled to come in and take the same benefit ; but in the
event of his not obtaining a new trial, the others, though the
most deeply involved in he crime, would have the best oppor-
tunity afforded them of eluding the punishment'.

'4

" We quote the foregoing from the Annual Register, and must
confess that the latter part seems somewhat imperfect and ob-
scure. But, upon the whole, the inconvenience stated, though
serious, appears a very inadequate ground for risking the possi-
bility and peril of subjecting an innocent man to a horrible pu-
nishment. Uudoubtedly, one person out of several convicted
of a conbiaacy, may still be innocent, and able to prove his
in.locence apon the revision which, for the ends of justice, the
;general scope of the law allows. But shall this man's establish-
rzent of his innocence be made dependent upon a condition neat i
to impossible—the coacurrence of others, over whom lie has no
controul ? sz.ch a case as that before the Court on Saturday,
nine out of tea of the persons indicted may have reason to
think that they could not obtain a fair trial in the plate where
the o:Vence 'VAS alleged to have been committed; whilst the
tenth, on :he contrary, may have reason to hope for a favour-
able result in his particular case. Is there not here an appalling

p;:ril of idiusti,e ? We cannot, perhaps, do better than quote

the opinion expressed on this rule of Court, in the case of Lord
Co-liana, by Mr. PONSONDY, a Lawyer of acknowledged learn-
ing, soundness, and experience.

' In adverting to the rule upon which an application for a new
trial was reftistd t, he heard, he (Mr. P.) feeling the highest
veneration for the Courts of Justice, could not help declaring,
that for th.: ride he could perceive no foundation in reason, in
justice, or in law. Without designing to be personal, and wish-
ing to deprecate being so understood, he wished to hear some
foundatioa luta for that rule. What was its direct result, if
that an innocent man, convicted with five others, could not pro-
' c..re a fair trial, without compelling into Court he would sup-
pose, five guilty men, over whom he had me cuntroul, and who
would naturally be deterred from appearing by the conscious-
ness of their own guilt? He (Mr. P.) preferred that rule, laid
down on authority the very highest, that it was better ninety-
nine guilty men shnuld escape, than that one Innocent man
should suffer. Such a rule was wholly unknown in the Court of
king's Beth in Ireland, and in England it had grown up
within the laat twenty years. It was said, that the trial of one
conspirator would involve matter concerning all ; but this was
no answer to the justice of the individual's case."

PROCLAIMING GEORGE THE FOURTH
Ai' EDINBURGH.
The Lonn Puovosi• having issued noticit to thd
respective persons and Public ~Bodies who were in-
vited to join the Processidri) Major-General Sir TrIO-
Al A S BRADFORD, Commander=in-Chief of the Forces
in 'Scotland, ordered a detachment df the 10th Hus.-
sars (his present MAJESTY% own Regiment), to line
the streets. Meanwhile the Castle flag Was hoisted
half-staff high, and at eleven o'clock the firing of
minute guns began, which continued till 60 guns
were fired, being one for every year of his late MA-
JESTY'S reign. The 10th Hussars lined the streets
from the Cross to the Castle.hill, where the ground
was kept by the 4th Veteran Ellin:Ilion. At twelve
o'clock the Procession moved from the Parliament
House to the Royal Exchange in the following order :
One half of the High Constables, preceded by their
• Moderator, with their batons, in advance of the
Procession, font and four.
Six Trumpets.

'Fke remaining half of the Constables, preceded by their

When the Procession reached the Cross, the Heralds,
Pursuivants, Lord Provost, &c. ascended the bal-
cony in fr'ont of the Royal Exchange, when the
Proclamation was read by the Lord Provost and
Heralds, respectively ; after which the Heralds pro-
claimed the style and title of his MAJESTY KING
GeoRGE the FOURTH, three several times, each time
accompanied with a flourish of trumpets and loud
and general acclamations, followed by a Royal salute
from the-guns in the Castle, where the Royal stand-
ard, which till then had been at half-staff, was hoisted.
The Procession then moved to the Castle-hill, where
the -Proclamation was read by the Sheriff, and the
Heralds proclaimed in the same form as had been
done at the Exchange, the guns then firing a Royal
salute.

The Procession next proceeded towards the Palace
of Holyrood-house, and was received at St. John's I
Cross by the Magistrates of Canongate, who fell into
the Procession in rear of the Magistrates of Edinburgh.
. Proclamation being again made in front of the
Palace by the Sheriff, in the same form as at the
Castle-Hill, the. Sheriff Clerk.,along with the Magis-
trates of Leith, Heralds, and attendant's, proceeded
to Leith, whet e they were joined by many respectable
persons c the Proclamation was read on the Pier and
shore by the Sheriff-Clerk and Magistrates of Leith,
and the style and titles of his NIAJFSTY proclaimed
by the Heralds. ,In the, meantime the Procession
returned in the same order (but inverted) to the Par-
liament House. On the head of the Procession arriv-
ing at the Parliament House, the whole halted, and
opened to the right and left, to allow the Heralds,
&c. to pass between the ranks and to enter the Par-
liament House in the same order in which they ori-
ginally left it.
The health of iismc GEORGE the FOURTH was
given by the LORD PROVOST, accompanied by a flou-
rish of trumpets and loud acclamations ; then that
of the rest of the Royal Family, in a similar manner;
after which the Proclamaticin was signed by those
present, and a flourish of trumpets at the door of the
Parliament )-louse closed the ceremonies.—During
the different readings of the Proclamation, the whole
assemblage were uncovered, and at the conclusion, a
burst Of aeclamation followed, which was loudly re-
echoed by the people and the military; en-
thusiasm.
,was displayed after proclamation of his
Maserres style hind titles. Among-she persons of
distinction in the Procession, were the following:
Earl of Moiton, Earl of Weniyas and March, Earl of Rose-
berry, Lord Duncan, Lord Sinclair, Lord Torphichen, Lord Eli-
bank, Lord Ashburton, Sir H. Mncrieff Welly/nod Sir John
Hay, Sir W. Forbes, Sir John Sinclair, Sir A. Gordon, Bt. &c.
At eleven o'clock, on Thursday, the Admiral's flag
ship, and the other cruizers in the Reads, commenced,
in conjunction with the Fort at Leith, firing minute
guns, vvhich were continued to the- number of 60,
with the Royal standard, and the other corours,
hoisted half-mast, excepting the Admiral's flag, which
occupied its proper place. The colours continued
thus flying, as marks of- mourning for his late MA-
JESTY, until one o'clock, when they were hoisted to
the mast-heads, the yards of the squadron manned,
three cheers given by their crews, and a salute of 41
guns fired by each vessel, to hail the Accession of
our most gracious Sovereign, King GEORGE the
FOURTH. The colours continued thus hoisted until
sunset. On Friday they were again hoisted half-
mast, and will remain so until the day of interment
of his late MAJESTY.

In consequence of the melting of the snow, the
town of St. Hellier's, in Guernsey, was for four days
in the greatest distress, the water being four feet in
the principal streets. In the midst of this, a tire took
place at a house' adjoining the Deanery, which for a
time threatened the whole of the mansion connected;
it was apparently got under, but broke out again
shortly afterwards, and was with difficulty extin-
guished.

PROCL /HMI (i EURG E ti r Jam.

AT GLASGOW.

_rid y this City exhibited a scene of loyalty and
enthusiasm
_which has seldom been witneSsed. At
twelve o'clock the Town Hall was completely tilled,
when the LORD Pftovorr entered and addressed the

andience, 'stating, that in consequence of ati order
from the Commander:in-Chief, ordering.minute guns
to be fired from twelve o'clock till one, the•Procla-

mation would be defetred till that hour. His Lord-

ship was enthusiastically cheered on his entry. The
Green at this moment exhibited a scene of great
bustle and confusion, every one pressing forward to
view the troops Irigaded. They consisted of four
Troops of the 7th Hussars, the Rifle Brigade, a ete.-
tachment of Artillery with four guns, the 13th Re-
ginient, and the Glasgow Sharpshooters ; the whole
under the command of General Sir Hussey Vtvlarc.
From fifteen Minutes past twelve till twenty minutes
past Oneohe Artillery continued firing minute guns.
At that period a signal was made from the Court
Hall to the General, who presently gave orders to
the brigade to fire a fa-de-joie of three rounds from
the right to left ; after which the whole asseniblage.
gave three hearty cheers.
The,Sherif-Depute having first read the Procla-..
!nation, it was then read by the tont) Pnovosr,.who:
taking off his hat, called out distinctly, " Goo slve
the King," which exclamation was repeated by those
around him, and re-echoed by the surrounding mul-
titude, who, standing uncovered, with one accord
waved their hats in the air and huzzaed. The well--
dressed Gentleman down to the humble apprentice
boy, seemed to be actuated by the same feeling:- and
the novelty of the spectacle, the finene,s of the day,
the order and decorum which everywhere prevailed,
for a short while rendered the Trongate from the
Cross to the Stockwell-street exceedingly interesting.
The band then struck up " God save the King," anu
while they played, the people who thronged this fine
street, remained uncovered.
After the Proclamation had been read at the
I •
Cross, the Civil and Military Author ides met in the
Town Hall. Principal. TAYLOR eien, at the request
of the LORD PROVOST, opened the proceedings with an
excellent prayer. The Lo RD Pno.vosr, in a neat speech.
having referred to the occasion of their present meet-
ing, concluded with proposing the health of the ies\
Sovereign, GForrot IV. which was drank with extra-
ordinary enthusiasm. His Lordship then alluded t(
the circumstances connected with the late reign, ex-
pressed a fervent wish that the present family might
long sit upon the Throne, and that the reign o;
GEORGE IV. might be long, and as happy as that of
his father. He concluded by giving, " A long an,
happy Reign to GEORGE IV." which was drank with
the greatest applause. After panegyrising the vir-
tues of the departed Sovereign, his Lordship next
gave, " The Memory of GEORGE III." which was
drank in the most solemn manner. The next toast
was " The Royal Family, and consolation to then,
under their double csalamity," which was also drank
in silence. His Lordship then rose, and after pre-
facing his toast with some judicious remarks, deli-
vered in the true constitutional Spirit, upon the feli-
city enjoyed by this country under the mild sway of
the Family of Brunswick, and adverting to the man-
ner in which they had been called to the Throne,
gave, " The Laws, Liberties, and Constituti( n of our
Country, and may we be enabled to transmit them
unimpaired to posterity." His Lordship then gave
" The. different Public Bodies which had attended
the' Procession." Afterwards hig Lordship gave, " Sir
H. Vivian and the Military," which was drank with
warm approbation.
Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN rose, 'and after apologising to
the' Meeting, that he was unaccustomed to public
Speaking, returned thanks. Called to Glasgow, he
continued, in order'to repres,s tumult, he had been
happy to witness the returning loyalty of the loser
orders, by which any interference on his past was not
likely to be wanted. What be previously believed:
the events of this day fully confirmed. The univer-
sal loyalty which had been so strongly maeifested,s,'
had given 'him the highest satisfaction, and left no
doubt as. to the state of public-feeling in this im-
portant City. Nothing could give him greater plea;
sure, than that it had not been necessary to recur to
force. The speech of the gallant General called
forth loud plaudits from the audience.
The SHERIFF DEPUTE of the County proposed " the
health of the Lord Provost and Magistrates, Town
Council, and Community of- Glasgow ;" which was
drank with much.applause.
Sir H. Vivian next rose, and stated, that the Yeo-
manry Cavalry and Volunteer Corps of this City
having been highly instrumental in preserving the
peace, and repressing every symptom of disloyalty,
he had great pleasure in proposing their healths.—
This toast was received with every demonstration of
approbation ; and Mr. OSWALD, in the nalne of Cap-
tain STIRLING, returned thanks.—The Meeting then
broke up.

The Magistrates of Glasgow have purchased the
spacious Methodist Chapel, lately built in Great Ha-
milton-street, for the purpose of converting it into a
Parish Church in that City, which Will now be divided
into ten Parishes.
Alonday• last, upon the cavalcade which formed
the Procession in Proclaiming his M &TESTY KING
GEORGE the FOURTH in the Tower and Hamlets,
arriving in Spitalfields-market, upwards of 20,000
spectators had assembled in the market-place; • a
large cart shed on the north-east side, the roof of
which contained upwards of 150 persons, fell with a
tremendous crash ; some escapes with slight con
tusions; others had their arms and legs broken; a
boy belonging to Spitalfields Charity School was so
dreadfully injured by the fall, as to be taken to the
London Hospital in a dangerous state.
Monday after noon, as a hostler at N: it .cn's the
dealer, in Piccasiilly, was docking a horse, without
taking the.necessary precaution to hr.bble him, the
horse struck him violently with' one of the hind legs
upon the side of the head, which caused a fracture
of the skull. The poor man was taken on a shutter
to St. George's Hospital, without the slightest hopes
,of recovery.
CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Faa. 9.—Our ar-
rivals of all kinds of Grain have been very small since
Monday ; and what fine Wheat appeared this morn-
ing, sold on full as good terms as on. that day. Fine
Malting Barley being scarce is Is. dearer, but there is
no advance on any other descriptions, which go off
• veal slowly. In Beans, Peas,, 4nd I.Lts, no alter.ition.
