poet's Corner. TO A LOCK OF HAIR, .The Xeepsake of one, young, lovely, and long departed. (From The Cambrian Album," for 1829.) SOFT ringlet! art thou then so old— Can SH E so long have been Eiitomb'd, and tiiy once living gold, No dimness yet have seen t — as when wreathing that fair brow, vyhich lies in dust and darkness now I Yes! many years have come and gone. Since she the token gave— And many, since that lovely one Went to her early grave- On her the worm hath wrought his will- Thon, rescued took! art lovely still. Oil there's a spell in thee, that brings And musters round my heart, Sad memories of pleasant things, Once balm for many a smart- And wakes, with strange bewitching pain, Deep buried sighs, to breathe again. Thou hast a deathless sympathy With that long vanish'd form, A kindly sunbeam once to me, When all aronrid was storm- And I could deem thou ne'er wilt fade. Relic of such a sainted maid I- But with no fond idolatry This chasten'd heart may glow- Thou canst but image back to me That Spirit's light below— Could'st thou entwine her angel brow Above, its light would filde thee now. E. W. Flas-y-Veliii, Neath.

—■r——'—-nTTmrwTW^B——I THE PROPHECY FULFILLED.—A Glamorganshire Legend. (From "The Cambrian Album," for 1820.) Old experience doth attain "To something like prophetic strain.Il Penaeroao. We hear of many odd prophecies among the Welsh, ilnd some of thcm as oddly fulfilled. There was a certain Twm ap Ifau up Rhys, who lived in the reign of Elizabeth, and whose metrical proffwydoiiacth of sundry important events is jet ex- tant the writer moreover possesses a copy-but "StIch blazou must not be," to every fugitive r-eader-Aînore modem and less abstruse pre- diction is the subject of this paper. Between seventy and eighty years auo there was as old man named John Evan Priest, living in the western parts of Glamor- ganshire, and accounted a shrewd and knowing man. He was one day standing on one of those fine hills which voti see rising to the eastward of Gwerniraiih, or Crymlin Bog, near Swansea" lie gazed forth upon the sea, gleaming with many a white sail, for leagues before him, an.) down on the vast brown morass stretched out in dismal acres beneath his feet. To the left, his eye ranged up the long-withdrawing vale of Neath, with its blue river, and its green mountains. and its ancient town nestling in iheir bosom on the right his glance caught the little white port of Swansea, breasting the waves, iike a fairswan just launching from the shore, amidst one of the noblest bavs in the world.The old man'athougÍlts were not alone delighted with the scene around him aiid all its associate ideas, though they were, peradventure, those of his happiest days:—futurity mingled with his thoughts-per. haps he calculated on the almost certain results of self-interest amongst men, seconded by opportunity—but if he did, he kept this to himself. All we know is, that after looking and ponder- ing for a season, he is said to have suddenly exclaimed in his own nervous language, what may be thus rendered in English Hereafter a ship will come out of the sea, "And over Gwernfraith sail merrily." The old man, as I have said, was accounted wise—and this saying of his was presently repeated, and !old from gossip to gossip, and was not afterwards forgotten, when fathers told their sons the memorabilia of their youth; in short it became a re- corded prophecy in the local traditions—and it has been fulfilled. A very few years ago, there came into Glamorganshire a man of substance, who had also, like John Evan Pries', an eye for surveying a fine country lroni the vantage ground of its lii!Is.— He too ascended to the same, and to higher elevations and he too gazed and pondered on what lay around and beneath him, even as the old propiiecier had done three score and ten years before: but his visions were more definite, and their imagery had less of cloud and shadow in it. He beheld the long and almost level sweep 01 country, leading from the now flourishing seaport of Swansea, across Gwernfraith. to that of Neath, and along the pleasant valley as far as Aberdybis-that spot for poets and painters to live and die in—and for anglers tOl)-such as love to ran^e quietly up mountain streams, full of deep pools, and gravelly shailows-the very paradise of trout—through se- ductive miles of woody olens, rocky ledges, and pastured banks, with here and there a broad sweep of sand and shingle, left by the wintry torrents, in their short-lived fury —But I wander.— The speculative and penetrative gazer I was speaking of, saw into the very heart of the hills which skirled that level line, and beheld them "rich in the materials of commerce—a long narrow silvery stream of light floated before I.is imagination "and de- scended on the scene below, in the form of a canal, conneciing the extreme ends of the district he was surveying. He knew not of the prophecy in his favour; yet from that moment he prepared for its accomplishment: and he walked forth, resolved to realize his own vision. His wealth ar:d influence were put in active motion —an army of sturdy labourers appeared at his bidding—pickaxes and shovels glistened in the sun —the clay, and the gravel, and the bog, rose in mighty mounds; the rock was shivered, and the quicksand was subdued—the heron and the bittern soared aloof, marvelling at this invasion of their he- reditary solitudes; and old people stood, and wondered, and blessed themselves, at the changes they were living to see in thisold world." Now were heard some whispers of expectation that old Priest's prophecy was nigh unto fulfilment, although the new canal was neither intended, nor calculated, for any larger cratt than barges and pleasure boat3. — But lo in the month of September, anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, there came a vessel Irom Gloucester into the port of S wansea—she was a very little vessel-ô1 sort of miniature sloop, not so big as a coal barge—so she struck mast and rigging, enleri d the new canal by the sea-lock, and over Gwernfraith" she came, bearing a cargo of apples up to the bridge of Neath. — Bravo! John Evan Priest!—thou wast veracious in this thy prediction: and henceforth let it stand on record.—Yet there were men in thy day, who, peradventure, sneered at thee for a dreamer. 4 Some precise people may object that the prophecy has not been literacy verified, inasmuch as the little ship did not" sail over Gwernfraith," but was lowed by a horse—I hold this to be captious, and a mere cavil--the motion through the water, and not the propelling power, being the thing signified. Tht: ship, long foretold, is come out of the sea, And over Gwernfraith sails gallantly!
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. WEDNESDAY, MA v HO.—-Lord Rolle presented a petition from the Mayor, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of Devonshire, praying for the Repeal of the Duties on Coals carried Coastwise. Lord Kins, presented a petition from the Carpet Weavers of .Kidderminster, praying for the repeal of the Corn Laws and another petition from the inhabitants of Kidderminster, praying for the gradiinf abolition of all duty on Foreign Corn. On the motion of the Earl of Malmesbury, the Bill for regu- lating the Teaching of Anatomy was ordered to be printed. He begged not to be understood as supporting the measure by his motion; hp doubted whether the subject were one with which the Legislature ought to deal. His mind was yet unde- cided, for his head and his heart were in conflict. He hoped whatever Noble Lord took charge of the Bill would give due notice of its second reading. The Marquess of Downshire moved that the Bill for Draining Bogs in Ireland be presented. There was in all parts of Ire- land a great quantity of bog which had never been reclaimed, and the present measure was one of very great impoitance. He regretted very much. considering it of national importance, that the subject had not been taken up by 'he Government. fie understood that it was wished to postpone the measure till next Session of Parliament; in the menu time he hoped the attention of the public and his Majesty's Ministers would be directed to the subject.-Adj. THURSDAY. MAY 21.—The Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed, alter an amendmoit having been moved by Lord Holland, and negatived without a division. The only remarkable circumstances in the course of the dehate, were the admission by Lord Eldon of the delays in the Court of Chan- cery, and the interchange of compliments which look place between bina and the present Lord Chancellor. The Marquess of Londonderry presented a petition against the clause of the London Bridge Bill, which continued the duty upon coals imported into the port of London, from certain coal agents. Tfte bills upon the table were forwarded in their respective stages, and their Lordships adjourned. FRIDAY, MAY 22.-The Royal Assent was given by com- mission to several bills. Lord Melville pre sen ted a petition from the Corporation of I lie city of London, relative to an order made some days since, on the motion of Lord Durham, for tire production ot certain ac- counts and papers by the Corporation. The petitioners alleged tint it was against the practice of the House lo call on public bodies to disclose their private accounts, but expressed their willingness to submit the documents in question to the committee, and they prayed to he heard at the bar by their counsel or agents against the order. After some discussion between Noble Peers, in the course of which it was observed by Earl Grey, that it would have been wrong to move for the production of accounts by the city of London, il they had not been suitors to Parliament but when they catne before the House, asking for an Act of Parliament to cnaoie them. for 21 years, to collect a tax on coals of 60,0001. a-year,—a tax on one of the first necessaries of life—(hear)— ju order that they might do that, which they ought to effect out of their own funds, if they were suilicieiit-wlieii they founded this appeal o i all allegation that their funds were insufficient. surely it was right that they should satisfy the House that thev were not able to proceed without assistance, before their Lord- ships allowed them 10 impose such a tax Oil a part of the subjects cf the realm;" the further consideration of the subject was sdjourrird to Monday. In a Committee on the Game Laws Regulation Bill. Lord Malmislmry moved a clause." that all greyhounds be left out of the Right of Chase Clause," which was agreed to, and the Re- port ordered to be brought up on Thursday.—Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 20.—The House was occupied till five o'clock in presenting petitions of no public interest. The Re- purt of the Yeomanry (Ireland) Bill was received, and laid on the table. 1 THURSDAY, MAY St. —Mr. C. Pallmer obntined !ca!e to ¡' brjug in Bill to aster uioend the Jaws relative tot party walls. The object ui his Bill, he said, would be to give greater facility to the protection ot liie and property, and secure the public from many of those calamities which had arisen from the improper construction ot houses, and thereby subjecting a great and increasing population from the calamities which had so fre- quently attended them. Mr. Hodehouse snid iie had a susgestionto make to the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, which, if acted upon, would, he be- lieved, lead to a removal of all the misunderstanding at present existing between the Government and the maltsters. It was this: that any three of the principal officers of the Excise should be deputed by Governmellt to confer with tbreelDillt, sters, to be elected by the whole body, and the recommenda- tions agreed to by the six persons to be acted upon. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that being deprived of the valuable assistance of the Law Officer of the Excise, who was confined by indisposition, he was not able to sav any thing decisive upon the suggestion made by his Hon. Friend. The proposition was one, however, which he was not disinctined to adopt: but. should it be acted upon. he begged it to be under- stood that the recommendations of the deputies could be con- sidered as binding only in practical mailers, and not with re- spect to other important considerations. O'CONNELL. Upon the order of the day being read for the resumption of the debate on the motion that a new writ be issued for the elec- tion of a Member for the county of Clare. The Solicitor General said thai, in consequence of what had been remarked respecting the difficulties attending this question, he should, withdraw his original motion, and substitute for it the following That the Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland, to issue a new writ, subject to the provisions of the recent Stutute tor theRetief of the Roman Catholics, for the election of a Member to serve in the present Parliament for the County of Clare." The Hon. and Learned Gentleman added, dlllt in the course he had adopted, he meant no harshness or hostility; Mr. O'Connell called to rthe discussion, and it would be unworthy of him Cthe Solicitor General) if on such an occasion he had not honestly discharged his duty. lie was thus anxious to pursue the preceding usages and rules of the House. Mr. Spring Rice moved as an amendment, "That leave be given to bring in a Bill, to amend the Laws which relate to the Oaths administered to Members of the House of Commons pro- fessing the Roman Catholic religion." After some debate, in the course of which Mr. Peel stated that the Relief Bill had already been so far effectual in Ireland, that the Lord-Lieutenant thought it perfectly safe to diminish the military lorce in that country, and accordingly three regi- ments had been withdrawn, Mr, Spring Rice withdrew his amendinent, and the motion of the Soiicitor-General was agreed I t). Tile Speaker's warrant will of course be immediately issued. J On the motion for the House to go into Committee on the Scotch Judges' Salaries Bill, Sir J. Yorke said he did not see that it was necessary to in- crease the incomes of these Scotch Judges in order to make them do their duty. On the contrary, the old proverb said. "the poorer the man the sharper his wits." (A laugh.) As they had such a multiplicity of laborious duties to perform, he thought it best to keep their habits spare, so that the sensorium or brain might not be loaded with the sanguineous effects of too good living. It was not the body they wanted to fallen, but the wits; and for that puipose he thought it was quite sufficient they should blow out their jackets once a week with roast beef and upon other days with an excellent variety of porridge. (Great laughter). He had a very great admiration, indeed, for his liigiit HillI. Frierd (Mr. Peel); but when he told them there was a difficulty of getting Scotch J udges upon such terms, lie must reaLy say, in Parliamentary language, that lie did not believe him. (Much laughter, in which Mr Peel joined). He should certainly oppose The increase. Alter a desultory conversation, the resolution was withdrawn, with an understanding that it should be brought forward next Ses;,ion.-Adjourned. FUIDAY, MAY 22.—It was orlered,on the motion of Mr. Bell, that there be laid before the House an account of the number ot Shipping engaged in 18'26, j8'27. and 18:;8. in the trade be- tween Canada, New Brunswick, and the United Kingdom, stating file amount of their tonnage. Lord Nugent presented a petition from a private brewer named Seymour, residing in Chichester, complaining of the law of licence, which res'.ricts the power ol appeal in cases of arbi- trary refusal to grant a licence. The Noble Lord observed, that the refusal, from his own experience, he found to be grounded upon spile, rather than a desire to administer the laws impartially. The petition prayed, that in all cases of relusal, the Magistrate should be obliged to assign his reasons for refosing, and that. the matter of refusal might be the subject ot trial by Jury at Quarter Sessions; the Noble Lord said, next Session lie should submit a clause to remedy the evil in the Bill of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Esicouri) which tended to confirm the monopoly complained of. Mr. 0. Cave suppo; ted the petition, and gave testimony to the respectability of the petitioner; he confirmed the statements of the Noble Lord. ill respect of the monopoly in the trade. The uppeals had been a complete mockery. Mr. Estcourt denied that the appeal was a mockery, lie con- tended that the person aggrieved could have redress under the Bill; he defended the conduct of the magistrates generally, there was no body of men to whom the pubhc were more in- debted he was of opinion that a Jury ws not the proper tri- bunal before whityfi to demand justice, in cases of grievances respecting licences. Lo"d hugent allowed that the Bill of his Right Hon. Friend was calculated to produce much good. bnt slill his clutlses were speculative. He did not mean to complain of the magistrates generally, all he-meant to allude to, were individual cases. Ihe petition was laid on the table,and ordered to be printed, COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion that the House should resolve itself info a ComuiiHee of Suppl y for the Irish Estimates, Mr. Warburton wished to know from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he intended to propose any measure with a view to arrest the evils which were likely to arise from the Composition Act of last year, which enabled bankers and others to Circulate small notes, without pay ing the stamp duty for each of them. Unless something were done, either by prosecuting such parties, if illegal, or by bringing in a Bill to render such illegal, the country would be again inundated with a circulation of small notes. The Chanctllor of the Exchequer observed, that the general rule was, that the pnrlics should judge for themselves, whether what they were doing was legal or not; from the specimen which he saw of such notes as the Hon. Member alluded to, he thought that the parties would feel very much disappointed if they expected to circulate them to any amount. Mr. Raring agreed with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that it was not the (Iuly of Government to expound the law to any parties, but if the circulation of such notes as were alluded to, were likely to extend to any amount, his Majesty's Govern- ment should adopt some means to prevent it. The House then resolved itself into a Committee. On the resolution for granting 8,9281. to defray the expenses of supporting the College of Maynooth being put. Lord Viscounr Mandeville opposed the grant. He looked on it as unconstitutional for the State to supply money to educate men for the purpose of disseminating doctrines which would operate to the subversion of the Protestant religion. He had hitherto, and should for ever, oppose it. He thought his Majesty's Ministers should pledge themselves now not to intro- duce it again. Mr. Percival would support the grant on the present occasion, to avoid discussion, but under no circumstances should he ever vote for it again. Sir R. Ingiis trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would never again identify the seminary of Maynooth with the State. He never opposed it before, he was ashamed to confess it, but he was determined to oppose it in future. Colonel Sibtlwrpe considered the College of Maynooth as little better than a nursery for sedition. Every thillg was taught there but a proper veneration for ihe Deity. It was disgraceful to reflect that a sum of not than SOO.OOO). had been expended on the education of the most ungrateful people in the world. The gallant ^Colonel here alluded to the circumstance of the Roman Catholic prelates having been blazoned forth in placards and newspapers, as bishops, in the teeth of the late Act. and concluded by observing that he would give his decided opposi- tion to any grant for the education of persons whom he looked on as little better than devils incarnate. Mr. Ross supported the grant on this occasion, but would not pledge himself to support it next year. Mr. M. Fitzgerald supported the grant. Mr. Maxwell had always voted against the grant. It would be disgraceful in a Briiish Parliament, who swore that the reli- gion of the Roman Catholics was idolatrous, to grant a sum to support tile (ii-seiriiiiatioll of idolatry. A learned writer (Mr. O'Driscoll). who was himself a Roman Catholic, had stated that there was more 01 Popery at Maynooth College than at Rome itself. Sir E. Carrington spoke in favour of the grant. Mr. Spence was not aware that there was any College sup- ported bv the State for the education of Protestant Dissenters, yet the House was colled on to vote a sum for the support of a Roman Catholic Seminary. The grounds of the g,iit having been originally made were, that Roman Catholics were not allowed then to send students to France, to be educated for the priesthood. These grounds no longer existed, and he did not see why the grant should be continued. Mr. Secretary Peel thought the grant should be made in justice and good faith; it would be most extraordinary if Par. liament refused this grant, because 111111, opinion it was called for by various considerations. The Committee then divided, when there appeared, for the Clause )f:;—Against it 14;—Majority 104. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. Mr Sluney postponed the further consideration of the Labour- ers' Wages Bill to Thursday next. The Exchequer Hills Funding Bill, and the Sinking Fund Bill were read a third lime and pnvsed. The latter received the entire approbation of Mr. Hume; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, he found himself inasingutitrsituinion when lie received the support of the floit. Geiiimeiiiaii. The House went into a Committee on the East India Office Bill (to vacate the seats of Members accepting ollice under the India Company). It had been read the second time; and when in Committee it was discovered that the 25th section of Use 6th ofQ ueen Anne provided that all Governors or Deputy Governors of tlie Plantations should vacate iheir seats in Parlia- ment and most of the Members seemed to think that this clause applied to the appointments of this description, held under the Tiulia Company, subject to the approbation of tire Crown. As Mr. Peel said « new and important aspect was thus given to, the question, its jsirther consideration was adjourned, and a Committee appointed lo ascertain what the law at present is, before a new law is made.—Adjourned to Monday. I I INTERESTING TO l'LORI::iT':S.lUt: TAMAMUU-IANNER will be glad io hear of an effectual preventive against the Jly, which has hitherto proved so injurious to this beautiful flower: —Take some black pepper, ground very fine, and diedge it lightly over Ille It-lives Ulld stalk whiht the dew is on the plant. To MAKE KITCHEN VEGETABLES TENDER —When peas, French beans, and similar productions do not boil easily, it has usually been imputed to the coolness d the season, or to ihe rains. This popular notion is erroneous. The difficulty of boiling them soft arises from a superabundant quantity of gypsum imbibed during their growth. To coirect this, throw a small quantity of subcaibonaie of soda into the pot along with the vegetables, the carbonic acid of which will seize upon the litile in the gypsum, and free the legames from its influence, -Bulletin des Sciences. SULPHUR A SECURITY AGAINST MEASLES.—The follow- ing account of the effects of sulphur, in affording security against the infection of measles, has been lately published by the Medical Society of Tours;—" In a family ot four children, who took the flower of sulphur night and morning, and were entirely preserved from the contagious influence of the disease, although they continued to live in the same atmosphere, and were allowed to communicate freefy with the other children who had the disease. Two of five adults who lived in the same house, contracted measles; one had before had the disease I They had employed no precautionary means. In another family, one child had measles three other children were not separated from the patient they took, night and morning, sulphur mixed in sugar, and escaped the disease. The dose of the sulphur should be from two to six or eight grains, according to the age. In another case, an infant took the Sulphur as soon as the disease had clearly manifested ilself in his brother. In eight days, however, the measles appeared, but the malady ran so favourable a course, that it was probable the preservative effects of the remedy had smne influence. Four other children were treated in a similar manner; they were designedly exposed to the contagion, but entirely escaped." Sulphur, being an aperient and sudorific, given at the time of sickening, and continued during the progress of measles, is very likely to render the disease mild, aud to protect the lungs against the serious mischief which, in scrofulous subjects, fie- quently takes place dming measles and hooping-cough, and to prevent secondary fever.-Gazette of Health.

STEAM NAVIGATION TO INDIA.-The project noticed a few weeks since, as having been formed at Calcutta, for opening a regular communication with India by steam, is going on with every prospect of success. The merchants connected with that i part of the globe have entered warmly into the support of the undeilaking, and the East India Company have furnished two steam engines of adequate power for the first voyage, subject to be returned to them if the practicability of the scheme is not at the end of ii fully established. The merchants of Culcutta have also transmitted funds to this country in aid of the under- taking. The voyage to Calcutta may be made by steam vessels in tluee months; but the average period by sailing vessels in four months and a halt, and at the date of the last accounts from thence it appears that they had been nearly six months without news from England. NEW SETTLEMENT IN A USTRAI.IA.As we before stated, Captain Sir Edward Parry, R. N., the celebrated Polar Navigator, has accepted proposals made to him by the Austra- !ian Agricultural Company, and goes out in June. as Commis- sioner of that Association, to Poii Stephens, about 90 miles northward of Sidney, the capital of New South Wales. Of course this will occasion a vacancy in the office of Hydrographer to the Admiralty, which will probably be filled by that able Surveyor, Capt. William Fitzwilliarn Owen, R.N. elder brother of Rear-Admiral Sir E. Owen. Commander in-Chief upon the East India station. Captain Sir Edward Parry receives from the Australian Company 2,0()0 £ per annum for lour years, with a pension of Soot. for life after the expiration of that period of service. Lady Parry, daughter of Sir John Stanley, will accom- pany her husband to Port Stephens; and there can be little doubt but the abilities, zeal, perseverance, moderation, firmness, and moral example of Sir Edward will prove highly beneficial to the Company's interests in that remote settlement.

TITHEs.-An example worthy of imitation during the present depression of agricultural interests has been most libe- rilly shewn in the parish of Ewhurst, in Surrey, the Rector of that place having voluntarily announced a reduction of 10 per cent. on thetithesforthis year. THE IRON TRADE.—In consequence of the very de- presse,d state of the iron trade, and the large and accumulating Stocks on hand, ^nost of ihe iron-masters in the neighbourhood of Sheffield have determined not only to effect another reduc- tion in wages, but to discharge severn) of their workmen. At the Elsicar furnace, worked by Earl Fitzwilliarn, all the work men are under notice to leave. In Siaffordshhe the iron trade is in a deplorable state. -Sheffield Iris. REPEAL OF TAXES.—Another pamphlet, just fallen into our hands, promises very Inif to do great things.—The Repeal of all Taxes" is a most welcome sound in the ears of an Englishman; and the way Mr. Matson proposed to accom- plish the thing is this :-To abolish the whole of the taxes, which he estimates at 50 per cent, on all money payments in Great Britain, Imd lay on a property tax of 25 per cent. Olle of our celebrated dentists, it is said, extracts teeth without paiii. "How is this ?" we asked. "Why," says a friend, "it is done by making a fulcrum of the other teeth, the pressure on which, by a sort of lever, is so painful, that ihe pain is taken away, or ap- pears to be so, from the tooth operated on." This is like, taking away the smell of onions by using assafoDtida. We lear that Mr. Malson's assafoctida tax will be just as offensive to many palates as the onions, the effects of which it was intended to re- move. However. «e should like lo see ihe plan tried. In all state payments, ii is ihe poor and middling classes that are the' chief sufferers; and we know of no irap by which we can catch the great capitalists, except by a property lax.—Farmers' Jour. BRITISH SHIPPING.—By order of the House of Com- mons, a statement has been published of the shipping employed in the trade of the United Kingdom for each year, from 1821 to 18^6, boih inclusive, distinguishing the trade with every foreign country, and separating the British ships and crews from foreign. The general resuitastotheinereased employ- ment of British shipping and native seamen, is in the above seveu yean extremely gratifying. In 1821 we had of British merchantmen, cleared inwards—tonnage, 1,599,000 men, 9ir,4()0. In 182d, while the panic was operating—tonnage, 1,950.000; men, 113,000. With some countries, as Russia and France, the trade appears generally to have been declin- ing; but with Prussia, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, and East Indies, and the whole of the British colonies, the growth '■<!« been Oil Ihe average cOlllpicuouslv n ADVANTAGES OF WHIPPING.—-One of the London Magistrates stated on Tuesday, that since the plan had been adopted of compelling all young thieves and vagrants to all- dergo a sound private whipping two or three times, on every occasion when they were sent to prison, the number of such offenders had materially decreased. In the Surrey gaol, the cat-o'nine-tails had worked miracles; for instead of 50 or 80 juvenile thieves who were generally confined Irom Session to Session, (he number now scarcely ever exceeded half-a-dozen. DREADFUL CALAMITY.—About twelve o'clock oil Thursday night a fire broke out at Mr. Pick's, furniture broker, in the London Road. A watchman, who perceived an unusual light over thefan-jightofthe shop door, gave immediate alarm, but the inmates appeared to be in a state of death tike stupor, and they were onty aroused from tht-ir sleep "I perish, all in the house (except Mr. Pick, who jumped out of a window) having fallen victims to the flames-coligistitig of Mrs. Pick and an infant three years old, Miss Robbinet (a beautiful gill eighteen, daughter to Mrs. Pick by a former marriage), Mrs. Gregory (a lodger) and an infant three months old, and on apprentice boy. Just as nre ladders were procured the roof of the house fell in and buried the unfortunate inmates in the ruins. The bodies were dug out, and an inquest was held on Saturday, at St. George's Workhouse, when a verdict of "Accidental Death" was recorded.—The origin of this dreadful calamity hat not been ascertained. SUICIDE.—ON Monday ae'nnigiit, Mr. Dudgeon, wbo had filled the situation of Assistant Deputy Surveyor of the Fat est of Dean, Gloucestershire, was found hanging at the top of the staircase, in hit own house at Coiefoid, to which he had. within these few years, retired from the above office. He was 80 years of age, was always remarkable lor piety and honesty, and had attended divine worship thiee times in the course of ¡' the preceding Sabbath. The means taken for his destruction were by lying a cord round his neck, and, afterwards kneeling down, the weight of his body effected his purpose. As no apparent cause could be attributed for this act, the Coroner's jury, who sat on the body, brought in a verdict of Lunacy. His premature death has occasioned the greatest regret through- out the neighbourhood, his conduct having uniformly entitled him to the highest regard. MANUFACTURERS AND OPERATIVES AT OVERBURY.-— During the spirit of commercial enterprise which lias so pecu- liarly distinguished England for the last twenty years, few places have increused more in wed) i), importance, and prosperity. than the romantic and interesting village of Overbury, near Tewkes bury; which, Irom having been exceedingly obscure, has now become the seat of extensive paper and silk manufactures and from the circumstance of no public house being allowed in the village or its immediate neighborhood, the lower classes (from 700 to gOC of whom are employed in the mills) are justly to be coutruended for their industrious habits, moral conduct, and peaceable demeanour. We regret to add, however, that within the last few weeks, two extensive silk-mills have suspended work for the present, which has reduced a great number of the inha- bitants to a state of idleness, we will not say poverty, because their more wealthy neighbour, with a laudable spirit of libe- lality, well worthy the imitation of more populous districts, have devised every means that benevolence could dictate, to alleviate the misery and distress which must otherwise have fallen upon the poor but grateful artisans. CURIOUS CASE OF DETECTED IMPOSTURE.—On Wed- nesday, Robert Stone was brought up, at the Public Office, Cheltenham, on a charge of swindling, under the following cir- cumstances About three years ago, he had called at the house of Mis. Edmatids, who kept a ladies' school in the Bath- road, and stated, that his master had sent him from Malmsbury, to say thai he would send his two children to her school in the course of a few days; that his master had given him a sovereign to pay his expenses, but that he had passed it by mistake on the road for a shilling. He then asked Mis. E. to lend him some silver, and she offered him 5s. but he asked her for 10s. which she accordingly lent him, on his statement that his master was corning down oil the Thursday, end would repay her the money. Mrs. E. alterwards made enquiries whether the gen- tieman stated by him to be his nikisier,live(i at Malmesbury, and she found that he did not. The prisoner, it is needless to say, never came to Cheltenham to bring the children !o school, or to pay the Ills. On Tuesday morning, the prisoner called upon Mrs. Edmands. who. it may be remarked, has changed her residence from the H-tth-road to Manchester House, Chel- tenham; and thinking it was another establishment, he told a similar tale. The girl asked him to walk into the kitchen, while sheclllleel her mistress, wtto, ou coming down immediately re- cognized him; which the piisoner perceiving, pretended to be ill, and said he must walk into the garden; and was endeavour- ing to run off, when Mr. Billings, the father of Mrs. E. overtook him, and gave him into custody. The Magistrates committed him for three months to hard labour at Northleach, as a rogue and vagabond. During the examination of the prisoner, a gen- tleman recognised him as the same individual, who, 25 vears ago had obtained a M. note from him under pretence of being robbed on the highway.

MARKETS
MARKETS Mark-lane, London, Monday, May 25 -In the course of the preceding week there was a moderate supply of English corn and flour. Theforeiguarrivals of wheat, barley, and oais were considerable, with some flour from America. This morning the samples of grain fresli up are trifling. The primesI parcels of wheat continue scarce, obtain rather more money but the ge- neral qualities meet a slow sale, at the terms of this day se'nnight. Barley that is dry and heavy, lias obtained an advance of is. per quarter, but on other kinds there is no improvement. New beans that are fine, obtained Is. to 2s. per quarter more than on this day se'nnight. Boiling and grey pease have met a trifling improvement in value. Good heavy parcetsofoats are Is. per quarter higher, and the trade for other kinds has been rather more free than of lale, but ihe light samples are still difficult to quit. The flour trade is confined to such as is fresh made, at no variation in price.
