The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the Principality

SHORT HORNS, 7'e the hditor of the A orth If ales Chronicle, Sm,- Your last paper contains a well merited com- pliment to Mr. Hampton and Mr. Vincent, for their spirited purchase of some expensive short horns, for the purpose as is there stated, of improving the stock of the country." Nothing is farther from my inten- tion than to derogate in the slightest degree from the praise justly due to them for their good intentions, but there is another Gentleman of the county, who is, in mv opinion, no less deservmg of praise and gratitude from Ei?i countrymen, for what he has done with re- spect to Short Horns; I mean Sir R. Williams Bulke- i r ?t to Short l f orit, ley. When urged by some of his friends to substitute Short Horns for the cattle of the country at Baron Hill, his reply was-" No; thollgh I alii of opinion that Short Horns would be more profitable lo me indi- vidually, at Bllron Hill, yet, as ii is a breed totally unsuited to the county in general, I will not be instru- mental in Ï1,troducing into the country II breed, that by occasional crossing, would get mio the hands of f armers, that could 1Iot g¡re them either the food I>tI;e shelter they require, an d, which so treated liould be highly ill- jurious to them. I think that sentiments so thoroughly disinterested, so truly patriotic, ought to be made known, and must necessarily acquire for him who ut- tered them the esteem of all his countrymen. Your obedient Servant, JUSTICE. P. S. I have just seen a note in a Welsh treatise on Cattle recently published by the Anglesey Society, that a Gentleman in the neighbourhood, a great breeder of Short Horns, assigns as l'i s for keeping them, "because he finds plenty of fools to give long prices for them."

SLAVERY IN AMERICA.—The resolution to submit to the people of Kentucky, the call of the convention to amend the constitution so as gradually to abolish slavery in that state, has been lost in the senate. A singular circumstance occurred not Ion., ago at Munich. In the bone-house, situate near the burv- ing-ground of this city, was deposited" a child about two years and a half old. At the moment they came to take it away for interment, it was found sitting up in the coffin, and playing with the flowers with which they decked it, without being in the least disturbed at the number of bodies which surrounded it. The child merely asked to go to its mother. This week will be distinguished by a succes-ion of grand entertainments. The birth-day of the Princess Victoria, who has entered her 16th year, WDS cele- brated on Monday at Kensington Palacc; Prince George of Cumberland's natal 5?ty will be celebrated on Wednesday at Kew his Majesty's birthday will be kept on Thursday, and celebrated by entcrtainmcnts given by his ministers to the foreign ambassadors and other persons of distinction, and a grand rural fete is to be given on Friday by the Duke and Duchcss of St. Alban's at Holy Lodge, in commemoration of the restoration of Charles 11. Mr. Gordon, who was sent to China from India to procure tea-sccd and labourers to attempt the cultiva- tion of tea in India, has l??e? u,c,f,? r in procuring bohea tea-seed, but none from the green tea districts, in consequence of the recent disagreement between Lord Napier and the Chinese Government. He in- tended, in March, when the manufacturing process began, to penetrate, if possible, to the bohea hills, and even as far as the green tea districts, and in this he had been much encouraged by a recent journey a short distance into the interior. A number of Chinese labourers had also been engaged by him. QUICK TRAVELLING.—The rapidity with which the expresses have been forwarded by the route from Exe- ter to London, during the events of the South Devon election, has surpassed any thing of the kind before recorded. The average rate of these expresses, many of which have gone up every day, has exceeded 14 miles an hour. But the exertions made to convey the reports of the nomination to the London papers were so extraordinary, that the rate of travelling by the men carrying the expresses averaged, between Exctcr and Andover, no less than 20 miles in the hour. FLOGGING.—On Wednesday the second battalion of Scots Fusileer Guards, at present stationed at the Tower, under the command of Colonel Mercer, was drawn out to witness the punishment of Michael Dobbs, a private in that regiment, who had been tried the same morning for striking Serjeant Bloodsworth, of the second battalion, and sentenced to receive 200 lashes for the offence. In consequence of the dread- fully lacerated state of his back when he had received 150, and the opinion of the medical officer of the regi- ment that further punishment would not be proper, the remaining 50 were remitted, and the man was taken to the hospital. This is the only case of flogging in the Fusileer Guards since the punishment of private Hutchinson of that regiment, whose flogging excited so much interest about a twelvemonth since, and who has lately been discharged from that regiment. A recent letter from New York announces the fall of the Table Rock at the Falls of N iagara. This im- mense mass of stone was on the Canada side of the river, projecting so as to afford the spectator a front view of the horseshoe fall. It was considerably un- dermined, and some fissures on the surface had, for some time past, indicated the disruption. A large mass was detached two or three years back. By the total fall of the Table Rock, the visitor is now de- prived oftht most favourable position for viewing the magnificent appearance presented by that stupendous fall of waters. OXFORD CONVOCATION.—Wednesday the Convoca- tion assembled, in order to take the sense of the Uni- versity at large upon a proposal for establishing a certain form of Declaration," in lieu of the present long-established practice of subscription to the Thirty- nine Articles, on the part of nndcr-graduatcs at the time of matriculation, The assembly Was ,vry numerous, and tho conclu- sion o?,, to d,ei,iv, ThclC -e,c- FMt)tep)opnse(tformof declaration 57 I | 1 Againstit(andinsupportofestablishedusage)459 I Leaving a majority of four hundred and two, out of a house of 516 membersin favor of adherence to the old paths. PROTECTION OVTUUM-IKF. ROADS.—A most important decision was come to last week bv a division of the committee of the House of Commons on the Grand Junction Railway Bill. It has hitherto been the prac- ticc-in fact, it is required by the standing orders of the lIou,e-th..t turnpike road bridges, to be carne over any canal, aqueduct, or railway, should in their approaches have an elevation of not more than one in thirteen. The ReV. W. Riland Uedford, a magistrate of this county, atul trustee on several roads, on his own petition, and at his own expense, so dearly laid down to the committee the steepness of the ascent and the heavy draught to teams, especially in the neigh- bourhood of large towns, to and from which farmer; waggons are dailytravellingto take produce and return with manure, that the committee determined, as far as applied to the bill then before them, that the rise over turnpike roads, and also highways should be extended to not more than one in twenty. And from Mr. Bed- ford's other able observations, it was also decided that the archways, which the railway company intend- ed to limit to fi/feeii feet over the roads, shoulp be en. larged to n t less than tuentu feet. There is little doubt but this arrangement will be compulsory on all other railways and canal projects of this session and on the n ixt meetu g of Parliament an alteration in the general standing orders to the same extent will be madc.-Birminghatn Advertiser. LI.ANDAII M\Y 22.—There was found here, yes- terday, in the Mill-stream, a little way below Llandaff Mill, by some men employed in letting out the water, for the purpose of tishing, the trunk of a fine newly- born infant, without its head and legs, carefully tied up in a piece of the skirt of a fel11ale's old black hom- bazine gown. The child was jK-rfectlv formed and, to all appearance, horn alive; an,lthe manner in which the little innocent seemed to have been deprived of lit" or at I.'o,t in which the body had been treated afterw ards, showed a determined and worse than brutal savageness in the human jierpetrator of this horrihle deed, that excited feelings of the tronget honor and indignation in all w ho examined the mangled H'mains, ?kil?l legs, which havc not yet been found, seemed to have been literally chopped off at of some large and very sharp in..truHwllt-the former close to the shoulders—the latter between hips anti the navel—the child being held at the time bv the feet in a IJtl/t position with the back of its head on a block or something of the kind, as part of the skin of the dH4 < lose to the neck was cut off with the head, so that w hen the body was straightened, the neck and chest hone protruded hare; the viscera too must have been thrown back into the chest by the position of the body, for had they been in their proper place they must have been cut through, but they were uninjured. It is supposed that not more than twentv-four hurs roul,1 have elapsed after the bundle was thrown into the water before it was picked up, as the bones ap- peared to have been very recently cut and the blood flowed quite fresh from the neck and chest.

imperial Vartiiinent. The House of Lords did not meet on \\ednesday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY, May 20. The early part of the meeting was occupied with the presentation of petitions for and against a grant of money to the Church of Scotland, and with discnsslOns thereupon. Sir It FERGUSON presented a petition against the Game Laws, from Mid Lothian. Lord E. BUtTE presented a petition from Perth for a remision of the sentenee on the Dorchester labourers. Mr. LOWTIIER and Ilr. Co"m:n supported the petition. Dr. BOWRINO presented a petition from Preston, complaining of bribery and intimidation ,it the last e iec- tion, and praying for the adoption of vote by ballot. The petition was referred to the committee for the prevention of bribery, fcc. at elections. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice for Wednesday next of a motion for the adoption of poor laws in Ireland. 1111'. RoniNsoii fixed Friday, June 5, for his motion on the taxation of the empire. After several petitions had been presented for and against the Sabbath Bill, Ilr. POULTKR moved that it sliouldlie committed to a committee of the whole house. Mr. HAWKS moved as an amendment that it should be committed to a select committee. JlIr. HOIK spoke in favour of the select committee as the course which best agreed with the present crude state ot tne Dili. Sir A. A(isi:w was for a comtllittee of the whole house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was also for a committee of the whole house, but thought the mea- sure would become a dead letter. Sir H. PHI. expressed serious doubts whether par- liament could promote the observance of the Sabbath by legislating on the subject. lie observed that the Sabbath-day was never better ouserved than at present, and declared himself against the attempt to get rid of the bill by a side-wind. Mr. ROIUNSON thought the house should go into committee. Mr. ll uvts withdrew his amendment, but gave notice that he would take the sense of the house on the bringing up of the report. A long and desultory discussion followed, in which Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Young, Mr. Johnston, Mr. O'Con- nell, and several others participated, and the bill having passed through the Committee, was ordered, with its amendments, to be printed. A long discussion also took place on the several clauses of the "ïlls Execution Bill, which passed through the committee. The Seamen's Enlistment Bill, and the ManureToll Exemption Bill were read each a second time. Mr. EWART obtained leave to bring in a bill to en- able prisoners to employ counsel, and for the abolition of capital punishment in certain ca,es. )?r. HAWES obtained leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of inns and-alehouses. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, May 21. Lord J. RUSSELL took the oaths and his seat amidst cheers from the ministerial benches. TRINITY HARBOUR BILL. I Mr. TOOKE, after a few observations, moved that it be an instruction to the committee to whom the Trinity Harbour Bill now stands referred, that they do not enter into the question of compliance with such of the standing orders of this house as were required to be proved before the committee to whom petitions on the said bill was referred. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, May 22. I LIVERPOOL POLICE BILL. I Lord SAXDON having moved the second reading of I this bill. Mr. EWAHT presented two petitions from the town and neighbourhood of Liverpool, lIumerously signed, against the said bill. In accordance with the petitions I he felt it his duty strenuously to oppose this bill, which, though it was called a Police Bill, was intended for no less a purpose than to provide for the payment of the clergy out of the corporation funds. The pay- ment of the clergy was now to a certain extent con- troulable by the public, but the real object of this bill was to take it out of the public controul. The house would scarcely believe, but it was a fact, that during the last ten years there had been paid out of the funds of the corporation of Liverpool, for the building and repairs of churches, no less a sum than £ 120,000.— Of all this immense sum not one farthing had been given to assist the expenses of the independent or Roman Catholic places of worship, and he would ask the house whether it would add to this enormous ex- p,,d,r, by passing this bill 1 He denied that thebill went to make any provision for the establishment of a police, for there was a police already established, and the? moment an addition was required it would be ne- cessary to bring in a bill for that purpose. Lord SANDON said that he believed in his conscience, apart from all party considerations, that the bill was necessary for the welfare of the people of the town cf Liverpool. Last year, when the administration of Earl Grey was in power, a measure was introduced to abolish church-rates, and it therefore became apparent to the people of Liverpool, that for such of the clergy as were paid out of the church-rates, some other mea- sure was necessary to be introduced for their main- tenance. With that view adeputation came to Londou, and had an intcrriew with the then Chancellor of the Exchequer (Lord Aithorp,) and his (Lord S/s) noble friend the present Secretary of State for the Home Department (Lord John Russell,) for the purpose of consulting how the clergy of Liverpool should be pro- vided for, and they agreed at once that a measure of this kind was necessary. Air. M. PHILLIPS spoke in favour of the bill. Lord SANDON replied. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared— For the Second Reading 185 I Against it 171 :\Iajollty. ,-14 Mr. HOllINS"S, after some prefatory remarks, asked the noble lord (Russell,) whether he would afford him an opportunity of bringing forward a motion of which he had given notice for the last two sessions, and which was for the revision of general taxation. Lord J. RUSSELL expressed his willingness to adopt any practicable arrangement to enable the hon. gentle- man to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice for a revision and consolidation of taxation on Friday, the 12th of June. Mr. COHBE'IT complained of the present ministry, that there was no knowing when they intended to do uusiness. V ntil a member came down to that house, he could not tell what was going on. First, they had the navy estimates; then they had a little dip into the army estimates; and that night they were to have another dip into the navy estimates, and the next time they would have the Lord knows what! He moved a resolution to the effect, that it was the opinion of that house, that when the estimates of any description were moved, all the sums contained in that estimate should1 be concluded before they proceeded with any other. Lord J. RUSSELL was understood, on the ground of convenience, to object to the resolution. IHSSI NTEUS' MAUUIAGES. Sir n. PU T. in rising to bring before the attention of the hou-e the Dissenters' Marriage Bil I, begged to oil- serve, that he thought as it was brought forward by him" hen in ollice, if there was an intention to make any material alteration therein, it would be desirable that the executive should take it in charge. Lord J. said that he approved of the ge- neral principle of the bill, but he thought, some altera- tions were necessary. I hc hon, and leamed memher for the Tower Hamlets had given notice to him of some alterations which he intended to move, and he had also received information from a considerable body of the Dissenters that some alterations were desirable; hut at the present time, he having been so much cn: gaged, he had not had an opportunity of looking suffi- eiently into the lull to "late what those alterations would be. lIe was of opinion the second reading shoulll he taken. Sir II.

Peel when he voted against his measures. His objection to Lord Hill was that he was an out-and-out lory. After a long and uninteresting conversation, the votewas agreed to. The sum of £ 106,000. was then voted to enable go- vernment to pay those officers in his Majesty's forces who are not in the command of regiments. The following votes, after a short discussion, were also agreed to :— X78,000 for retired officers on full pay. X585,500 for officers on half-pay, and military aI-. lowances. J:78,080 for the half-pay of officers in foreign corps. X148,529 for the pensions of widows of officers late in his Majesty's land forces. £159,000 for the compassionate list. X44,585 for superannuated allowances. £180,547 were voted for the salaries of officers and seamen in the naval establishments at home. X22,661 for the salaries of officers and seamen in the naval establishments abroad. £ 25,769 for the wages ofartificers in the dock-yards abroad. 162,444 for the expenses of new works and improve- ments in the dock-yards. 1:124,530 were voted for the expenses of the com- missariat department. £51,443 for the half-pay, pensions, and allowances of the commissariat department. The house adjourned at a quarter past 12 o'clock.

Latest Intelligence. London, Saturday Evening, May 23, 1835. THE FUNDS PANIc.-Thursday was a momentous day at the Stock Exchange, and though it is hoped the evil does not lie so deep, can only be compared in its incidents with the convulsion which shook the markets for foreign securities in 1823 and 1825. So great a decline has, indeed, rarely occurred in one day even at those periods. The shock has been felt in Spanish securities in a far greater proportion than the others, and the situation of Spain seems, in fact, to be the foundation of the general alarm, aggravated by the great pressure for money which has prevailed for several da s past. At the same time it is not easy to ,tati? specihcally in w hat particular circumstances the public apl)rellei!?ion rests, for the events which are known certainly do notjustify it, though they furnish grounds for much distrust as to the future. The suspicion at the Stock Exchange is, from the persevering way in which lanre sales of Soanish stock have been effected by particular parties, that matters are known to them which are as yet concealed from the rest of the specu- lators. Hence none of the great capitalists seem to have had the courage,as they generally do when such important interests are at stake, to place themselves in the breach by coming forward to support the market. It rallied of itself three or four times in the course of the day, but this only served to encourage new sales, and prices fell back uniformly in a greater degree that they had risen. At the .regular hour at which busi- ness closes at the Stock Exchange the panic was more violent than at the previous part of the day, and many of the brokers remained long afterwards engaged in making such bargains for their principals as circum- stances would permit; but it happened frequently that the jobbers refused, as buyers, to name any price for Spanish Stock, and generally a difference of from I to 2 per cent. was made between the price at which they would purchase and that at which they would sell.— The Royal Exchange was nearly as full throughout the day as it usually is during the regular hours ofbu- siness, and people were collected in groups, eagcrly questioningeach other on the causes of the alarm which prevailed. The prospect of any success, however dis- tant, on the part of Don Carlos, was the feature ofthe news dwelt on with the deepest apprehension, because he has placed under an interdict all the stock created by the existing government, which would therefore, in the event of his ascending the throne, be placed in even a worse situation than the loans of the Cortes under Ferdinand. Those who do not anticipate a final tri- umph for Don Carlos, find yet causesutlicient for more uneasiness in the prospect of the overthrow of the pre- sent government at Madrid, and the struggle which must afterwards ensue between the Constitutionalist- and the Carlists. The decline in Spanish stock and in the scrip was about II per cent. in the course of the day but it was very difficult, near to the close of the market, to obtain any correct report of the quota- lions. The fall in Portuguese stock was about 4 per cent.; Columbian and Mexican the same. The Poole election terminated on Thursday in the return of the lion.

The Criminal Court of the province of Masoviaand Kalisch, condemned on the 5th instant, the Advocate Stanislaus Mackinowski to be beheaded, for having murdered M. Rrzozowsk, President of the Tribunal, in open court, by cutting his throat. Letters from Persia bring accounts that the greatest anarchy prevails in that country. Mahomet Mirza has appeared at the head of60,000 men and 60 pieces of cannon before the gates of Teheran, where he pro- claimed himself King. Prince Shah, governor of the town, wished to oppose his entry, but was obliged to retire, owing to Ali Yankhan, general of his army, declaring in favour of Alahomet. PENSION LIST.—Mr. D. W. Harvey has moved for an account of all pensions on his Majesty's Civil List and Consolidated Fund on the 18th of May, 1835, I stating the name of each person to whom the pension was grantcd, when granted, and amount of pensIOn; distinguishing pensions now charged upon the Civil List and Consolidated Fund."

I CIVILITY—AXD DEPENDAXCE OF THE WHIG MINISTRY ON MIl. O'COXXELL. The actual amI total dependance of the preent Ministry on the favor of Mr. O'Connell may be pretty clearly inferred from a positive fact which has just come to our knowledge. An honourable gentleman residing on the great Irish road, not more than five and twenty miles from hence, lately received positive orders from a near relative in the Ministry to show every possible civility to Mr. O'Connell on his way to and from Ireland. Xot daring to disobey, he sallied forth to the Inn where the great patron of the Whig Ministry was then staying, "grumbling, however, audibly in his gizzard" at the very humiliating piece of dirty work he was compelled to perform. As to the particulars of the interview our information is not so positive, but we believe it may have been to the following effect. So wholly absorbing was the con- sciousness of the degradation to Mr. that it gave rise to more than one mistake of a rather equivocal character. On entering the inn, he commenced his enquiry with-" Is Ilr. Daniel Murphy within 1 Ocii and is the devil himself come over after me," exclaimed the great friend of freedom of election, who happened, unfortunately, to be sitting with his door partly open. On thus preliminary error being duly cleared up, by substituting the name of O'Connell for that of Murphy, the gentleman was introduced into the presence; and after making the proper obeisance, thns began-" I am desired by my brother, Lord Al- val\ley-" (but, perceiving that the lily had in an in- stant chased the rose from the full blown cheek of the no longer agitator but now agitatee, he became aware of his awkward mistake, and corrected himself,—" I beg your pardon, I mean my brother Mr. to calli upon you, Sir,"—44 What!" interrupted the great el.lui. vocator, who had not yet fully recovered from the unpleasant sensations arising from this unfortunate misnomer, What can Lord Stanley want with me ? you well know, Sir, that I have a vow recorded in heaven, never to insult any person whom it may be my object to fight, or I should rather say but you understand what I mean; and so you may at once, Sir, rest assured that I will not meet Lord Stanley not that I am atall, atall, afraid of him, in the House or out of the Hoiwe; so there's an end of that, and you may br-lievc, iiie. oi- not, but fight I will not." All this was pronounced with such rapidity and vehemence that illr. in vain attempted to assure him that it was all a mistake, until he arrived at the non-fighting conclusion, whereupon the dialogue was resumed with Sir, I a,?ure You it is all a mistake, I did not mean to allude in the slightest degree to Lord Stanlcy, but to my brother Mr. ——, quite a different man, and of quite a different family, who now fills the office of under the present Government; and it is on his part and on theirs that I have now done myself the honor ( with 1/ sort of spasmodic swallow ) Sir, of waiting upon you, to offer any civility it may be in my power to show you for both he and they, Sir, are deeply sen- sible of the value of your support and countenance, and can never be 8udt liciejitly thankful for the very flattering manner in which you have been pleased t? express your approval of Lord Duncannon. Hem says the great weathercock; "I beg pardon," says .\lr. "I mean Lord John Russell." Here again was another awkward mistake but as there were no fighting recollections associated with it, the great non- combatant soon recovered his equanimity, and to avoid the chance of further unpleasant misnomers, had re- course to the tine weather, cold wind, superiority of steam over sails, and various other safe topics, which brought the interview to a happy conclusion. 0, Whigs, Whigs! your principles must be at a sad dis- count when they need the aid of such a broker as Daniel O'Connell to give them currency! and Oh, what humiliating drudgery for a gentleman of high honor and character to be compelled, for party purposes, to toady" ad nauseam" a man whom in his heart he despises and loathes.— From a correspondent.
